ment. All in all, the editors work
is highly useful, if he is capable of
at least an honest effort to do his
duty by the task.
And this suggests one other con-
sideration out of the many that the
editors relations to the public pres
ent. No other man makes a business
of telling other people his opinions Of
men and things whether they want to
know them or not. And if the edi-
tors own personal preferences could
be consulted, he wouldn't. So it is
not pride of opinion that prompts ed
itorial writing; it is necessity. Peo-
pie who imagine the editor is actua-
ted by some ignoble or malicious mo-
tive every time he writes something
with which they cannot agree should
remember this. And they might re-
fleet too, up on what luck they could
themselves expect in the reception
of their own ideas about things if
they were regularly to give their
neighbors every day their precise and
specific judgment on all current top
les, no matter what their neighbors
thought about them, no matter Rheth-
er their neighbors cared to know or
not. The editor is unfortunate in
that he is the only man that makes
business of publishing his mis-
takes.-St. Adams Messenger.

Supreme Court Judges

The proposition to reduce the num-
Der of supreme court judges to three
is receiving much editorial comment.
Is it wise to thus reduce the number
of judges? Has not experience dem
onstrated over and over again that
five is the ideal NUMBER Is it not
true that as a rule the opinions of a
court of last resort consisting of three
men do not carry any weight? The
lives, the liberty and the property of
the people of this state are in the
hands of the supreme court. 1t
stands as the final arbitrator. II is
the great power which protects the
rights of the poor as we'll as the rich.
It is the hand which supports the
weak and represses the powerful. The
plan to reduce the number of judges
is the result of a desire to reduce
court expenses. but the judges are
not oyerpaid or paid too much. No
citizen has been called upon to pay
a cent extra tax by reason of cost to
the state owing to the number of judi
GEES There is not member of that
court who could not earn more in the
practice of law than in serving the
state in a judicial position. There
are men on the bench of the Supreme
court who have sacrificed the best
years of their lives to the service of
the state; who by their strong and
clear opinions have raised the court
high in the estimate of the legal
world; who have handed down opin-
ions which are read and accepted
wherever the English language is
spoken.
Can it be possible that a proposit
ion to reduce the number of judges
to three will receive serious consid

NOT UNREASONABLE

This paper is a sincere believer in
having the fat plum" federal posi-
lions passed around. This is no new
suggestion in these columns and the
good fellow who is now holding down
his job need not think that it is be-
cause he is in the position that this
view is taken. The positions of the
two collectors are particularly fascin-
ating jobs from a financial stand
point Collector Darling and Collec-
tor Emery have both filled the official
position with credit to themselves
and the government which they have
been serving The salary in each
case is sufficient after a four years
term to retire and live happy in any
Vermont town or city. Certainly a
four years term ought to satisfy and,
candidly, we believe it is all that
Messrs Darling or Emery expected.
The same rule should apply to Uni
ted States Marshal Bailey's and Uni
ted States District Attorney Dun
nett's positions.-Waterbury Record.
All of these officials and many
others that we might name have SER
we'd with credit and honor but that is
absolutely no reason why they should
have unlimited access to the public
crib. They have been fairly reward
ed for political service duly perform
ed but there are hundreds of others
in the state who have done as much
and many who have done more. We
have only the most friendly feeling
toward these place-holders but, real
ly, gentlemen, four years of easy pro
fit is enough.
When a position requires long
training, special aptitude or great la
Dor in preparing for its duties, such
position should not be handed
around Nor do we believe in chang
ing where the service rendered leads
to a reasonable belief that better re-
suits will follow from retaining an in
cumbent. Such an official should be
continued in Office but none of these
places are of that kind
Moreover changes in offices of this
kind are often better for the service.
New men bring new ideas and new
abilities to bear. Men continued too
long in places of special profit devel-
op selfishness and the continued re-
ceipt of a large salary makes it easy
for them to lose their keener percep-
ton of the rights of the rank and
file of the common people

"A New England newspaper recent

Of anonymity in newspaperdom when

1t may surprise some people to be
told that a far greater proportion of
newspaper readers follow the editor
ial comment day by day than they
have imagined. OF course, this does
not mean that an editorial page is
considered popular reading, reducing
the word popular to its lowest terms,
but it does mean that there is an I'M
derlying seriousness in the minds of
the great American newspaper read
ing public, and that, after the tele-
graphic and local pages and the SOC

have been cleaned, a greater number
OF people go on to read the editorial
page than lay the paper aside with
the editorial unread If,-and always
with this most pregnant if-the edi-

thoughtful enough and Independent
enough to be worth at least glancing
over.
But people do not read newspaper
editorials today with the same state
of mind in regard to them that they
held in the days of Horace Greeley,

ance or half-mystery that invested

dangerous as it is practically sure to

that the manufacturers provide some
method by suction or otherwise to

The Great Wall of China

By G. w. S. Patterson.

this majestic miracle marching from
the sea at Shan hai-Kwan, through
fertile fields and cultivated lands,
through sandy wastes of uncharted
deserts, over mountains, through dark
defles, to emerge again on barren
shoulders of far-reaching mountain
slopes, ever and ever marching onward
to the unexplored Businesses of far
Tibet. For recent discoveries have
eonclusively proved that, in the dim
dawn of man, the wall extended to the
very borders of Northern India.
The structure is some 80 feet high;
built up TO the base of the battlements
of grey granite in blocks. Within the
battlements the wall is II feet in width,
and the battlements themselves, which
are of a marvelously tough brick, are
two feet in thickness, making a total
width of 16 feet The intervening space
is filed solidly with broken stone and
brick, and paved with smooth stones
and slabs of granite; the bricks being
about II inches by six. The huge
stones of the wall are three feet long
by IS inches wide and thick-they are
of a readish-grey granite, beautifully
cut and set.
The towers rise at frequent, but ir
regular, intervals, sometimes 500 feet
, apart, but where the wall ascends the
steep sides of mountain the distances
| between the towers is much greater.
| 1t is an easy task for the merest mill
tary novice to imagine its impregnabil-
| ity in the days when arms of precision
| were confined to the primitive bow and
arrow of the early warriors.
According to the authenticated rec
ords of Chinese history the Emperor
Tsin Chi Hwangti, who built this por
ton of the wall, found great parts of
| it already in existence, but history is
silent as to the first projectors of the
shut-door policy, which led to its in
| itiation; it can only be conjeetured
| that the work was started long before
the earliest record of the existence of
man, before the civilizations of Egypt
and Asia Minor dawned upon the earth,
at some period in the uncounted thou
| sands of years that must have elapsed
since man appeared upon the globe and
later hewed dwellingplaces in the
caves of Europe. But it is known that
| the Emperor in question completed his
construction of repairs in 204 BIC, and
that is was continued by his successor
for seven years after the death of the
former ruler.
And this portion which, commencing
at Shan hal Kwan. stretches across the
whole province of Chill, for some 1900
miles. to say nothing of its southwest
ern part. is but segment of the
scheme of protective walling along the
frontier of the Empire. And in the
province of Chill there are two distinct
walls enclosing the basin of the Sang
: kauho River. west of Picking. while the
enterprising searcher can plainly trace

all over the north of China. the ruined
remnants of FIVE separate walls leading

: the very gates of Nankiu.

Perhaps the easiest and most acces-
sible route to the Great Wall of China
is by way of Picking, from which this
seventh wonder of the world is distant
only some 40 miles. The journey,
which is not by any means pleasant
one, is usually accomplished by mule
litter, mode of conveyance that re-
quires some experience to thoroughly
enjoy. A guard of three or four Chin
ese soldiers is necessary, and these
mounted on wiry Manchurian ponies,
together with the servants of the
party, in a clumsy, two wheeled native
cart, frequently make up sufficiently
imposing force.
The expedition rarely moves forward
at more than three or four miles an
hour. and in summer, when the road
is dusty, the flies nothing less than
torment, and the heat excessive, the
slow rate of progression is apt to pail,
even on the most hardened travellers
Leaving the great north gateway of
Picking in the early morning, the party
rarely halts, except in the case of
breakdown, until two clock in the
lows time for hurried meal and the
stretching of eramped limbs. At about
p. m. the old walled city of Nan
kow is reached, and here it is the
custom to spend an extremely uneom-
Portable night in an uncleanly Chinese
inn, where one s own commissariat and
bedding must be solely relied upon, the
Chinese substitutes for both being alb
solutely out of the question.
From Nankow the nearest point of
the wall is, at a rough guess, some Is
miles distant, and the journey, after
it s initial stage, is picturesque enough,

| Huge caravans of camels and donkeys
are occasionally met with, and give one
some idea of what the traffic must
/, have been in the old days, when the
| road was the chief trade-route with the
| interior.
As the winding path leads upwards
through the hills, many subsidiary
walls are seen; indeed, they appear ia
crown every slope, but it is not until
the higher mountains tower around the
party, utterly dwarfng it to puny in
significance. that the first glimpse OF
