Justices Get The Money

Attorney General Stoddard has given
an opinion in the matter of the salaries
and fees to be paid supreme court JUS
tees for compiling the laws Of the state
The state controller refused to draw the
warrants for the payments provided
for in the bill until legally advised as to
the construction to be placed upon the
wording of the act. Stoddard advised
the payments be made and that the
law does not create any Office, simply
adds to the duties Of the Justices, and
prescribes the amount of additional
pay they shall receive.

Charity And Pablici,v

In the address on The Secular Press
as Missionary Agency" by the Right
Rev. Bishop Scadding of the Episc opal
church of Oregon, delivered at Spokane
the bishop stated many pertinent truths
concerning the use and abuse of the
press by the ministry. Here is one of
the points he makes:
cit is a said fact that the churches
sponge more free advertising from the
local press than all the other agencies
combined are able to do. 1 do not
mean in the nature of church services,
but the gratuitous advertising of
churchly activities that are innocent
enough in themselves, but which as
they are conducted solely from a pc
cuniary motive, have no more claim to
gratuitous notice than the business of
the baker and the butcher. Yet the
local editor is expected to make con.
tributions of the only commodity that
he has to sell, publicity every time
the church dips into business. Ac-
cordingly, to the question of how can
we use the local press, would say use
it right; don't ride d free horse too
hard"
We commend the closing words of
Bishop Scadding to the Elko churches
as there is at least one editor in Elko
that feels that he has been ridden "too
hard, and has made up his mind to
draw the line between free church ad-
vertising and advertising to put money
into the pockets of some outside party.
TO illustrate what we are driving at
we direct attention to Rhythm Idyls''
and ''The TOymakers Dream" presented
to the people of Elko few weeks ago
in the interest of the Elko churches.
The praise of this actress was sung in
these columns nearly every day for two
weeks or more and the people were
urged to attend the entertainments.
This paper received nothing for it's
work, while she drew down large per-
centage of the net receipts
The INDEPENDENT has always treat
ed the churches literally and will con-
tinue to do SO, but it does not propose
hereafter to give away it's space for the
purpose of putting money into the
pockets of some stranger who works
through the churches. Where the en-
tertainments are by local people and
the churches get the entire benefit, the
old rule of free advertising, within
reasonable limits, will prevail, but
where Il stranger shares in the profits
advertising in these columns must be
paid for.
We have been ridden "too hard"

Very Game.

Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, at din
ner in Cincinnati, told quaint story
about precocious boy.
"They are very precocious, indeed"
she said, those little chaps from
Elton or Rugby, with their round, sober
faces and their quiet air.
"a very pretty American girl was
talking one evening IN London to one
of these urchins.
"'And have you got a sweetheart
yet, Tommy she said, playfully.
"'No,' said Tommy-'still I'm game
enough for bit of spooning, II that's
what you're after"

Graduation
At Annapolis.
''June Week" at the Naval Academy and
the Ways IN Which Its Functions Differ
From Commencement Ceremonies
of Other Educational Institutions.

% YUNE week. as graduation time
is called at the United States
Naval academy at Annapolis,
varies in many important re-
spects from commencement week ar
the average college or university. The
training of a young man TO fight for
his country on a vessel of war neces-
sarily differs from educating a boy
to be a lawyer, doctor, minister, teach
er. mining engineer or journalist or
from training a young woman to ex-
eel in intellectual pursuits or the sci
ence of housekeeping. The studies at
the Naval academy include many sub
jects taught In the curriculum of the
average college. like the modern Ian
guages, mathematics and science, but
a student who graduates from Yale or
Harvard or Columbia or Princeton or
Cornell or the similar Institutions Of
the middle west or Pacific coast is not
expected to know much about how a
warship should be handled during an
engagement with an enemy or to be
on intimate terms with the articles
and formulas of naval construction
Much Of the time during the gradua-
ton season at Annapolis is taken up
with drills In which the future cap
tains and real admirals Of the navy
go through evolutions which are very
interesting and spectacular and usual
ly attract many visitors besides he
immediate relatives of the young men
who are to receive reward for their
four years work.
Tne ACADEMY IS a national scnool,
supported by the government Of the
the supervision Of congress and the
| chief executive, and the cadets and
their instructors are alert at this time
especially to make a good showing
when the eyes of the representatives
Of the nation are upon them. One Of
the events Of the week is the inspection
by the visiting board appointed by the
president, acting under the authority
of congress.
This year special interest has per-
tanned to the graduating exercises at
Annapolis because of the visit of the
Baron and Baroness Uriu of Japan.
The baron is a vice admiral Of the
Japanese navy and a graduate of the
United States Naval academy In the
class of 81. The academy had much
to do with preparing him for his i'm
portant part In the wal with Russia.
He and Admiral Dewey enjoy the

friends in congress, and 1t was for a
time believed that they would be pow
erful enough to keep him in his place.
But President Taft. after inquirlng
into the difficulties between Secretary
Nagel and Mr.. North, decided that it
would be to the interest of his admiD-
istration for the director of the census
to hand in his resignation. The new
director, Mr.. Durand, has been deputy
commissioner Of corporations in the
department of commerce and labor
He was born thirty-eight years ago IN
Michigan and Is well known as an ex-
pert statistician and an authority on
finance. Mr.. Durand was an instruct
or in economics in Harvard in 1902,
when he entered the census bureau.
He remained in the bureau until 1907,
when he was appointed deputy COM
