Nevertheless the Legislature of this State keeps on meeting annually and sitting for nearly or quite six months. when most other states content with legislatures meeting every second year and sitting for only three months.

It Is a pity that Massachusetts cannot bring herself to this. save in money and in trouble. and in the end get rather fewer needless laws enact ed.

DOES HE NEED TT,
Generai Interest in the Question of
 Presidents Salary

N~'"' ANsoIcet m the QueBIOn or the
 Presidents Salary.
 The suggestion to allow the President of the United States s100 900 a year." said Anderson F. McKenna of Boston, Mass, to a New York Telegram reporter. "has stir red up considerable talk, not because peo- pie object to giving the President the ad- ditional s6O.oo0 if he needs 1t. but rather on account of the principle behind the sug- gestion.
 If the President needed million dol lars year do not think the people would hesitate about giving 1t to him but they naturally ask why does he want so much
 The assumption is he wants to entertain more lavishly, particularly the distinguish . ed guests who are coming to us. It Is said that some of the noblemen who havo visited our shores during the last decade have been entertained so extravagantly by few of their private friends that they have been impressed with the actual pow erty of reception at our Executive Man sion.
 This may be so. but 1t may also be true that these same titled visitors have de- parted with the knowledge that may have number of vulgar rich who are ready to kow-tow to them. but the country Itself. still preserves through the medium of its modest state dinners and functions. tho Fundamental ideas upon which it was found- ed.
 If the President really needs the money let him have it. but if the purpose is to turn the White House into an imitation of some pork packers palace. then the people will say he does not need it,"

In this old world so filled with
the unexpected and with its
countless instances of frightful
bereavement. we doubt If often
there occurs such a chain of fatal
ity as has visited Bro. Miner, of
the Grand Junction Herald
Within the past month. we think,
certainly within two months, he
has lost every member of his i'm
mediate family. Wife, one boy
and a little seven-year old daugh-
ter have all passed to the un-
known. Language is too weak to
attempt proper words of condol-
ence. Such bereavement must be
experienced. we imagine, to admit
of comprehension. Mr.. Martin

he has formed during the years
