FkVORS SALARY INCREASE
~ Former Circuit Clerk Shows Why
 Officials Deserve Better Pay

Editor Journal: Since the question of raising the salary of some of the county officials has been agitated have been frequently asked to express my opinion, as l served the county as circuit clerk the first four years the salary law was in force.
 To begin, will say that under no cir cumstances could l be induced to be- come candidate for any office, have DO special interest in anybody else who may become candidate, and have no ax to grind in the matter. But in a spirit of fairness, and as citizen and taxpayer, will say if the salary was sufficient when the law was made, it is insufficient now. From my ex- perience and from observation judge 2 the work in all these offices has at least doubled, and at the same time the cost of living has materially increased. While I was clerk it would not have been necessary for me to have a deputy more than half the time. Now it requires deputy all the tims- and sometimes two The fees. all told, in the circuit clerk office for January. 1895, was Sl05; for January, 1909. was S3l7, or three times as much as for January of the first year the salary law was in force. There are so many people ready and willing to support any measure tending to lessen the emoluments of their public servants, and equally ready to oppose anything increasing them, who never stop to consider that in the event one of their sons should be thus honored they would be glad 10 see them sufficiently remunerated to live up to the required dignity of the office. The general argument against any sort of increase in anybody's salary is, "Oh, some hody yB'ill run for it anyway. . That may all be true. There might be just as many candidates if the salaries were reduced one-half, or worse: but what sort of service would We get? Men with honesty, capacity and cleri- cal ability would certainly look to other fields for employment.
 So in conclusion l repeat, if the salaries were just and right when tie law was made, they are not just and right now, since the work has largely increased, the cost of living increased and the salaries remain the same.
 Very Truly,
 T. Fl. DEARING.

CONDEMNS SUNDAY LOAFING
Evil Effects of Sunday Loafing From
 Scriptural Viewpoint
success.

Written for The Journal.
 About seventy-fve per cent of our people come under the head of Sunday loafers. Considered in the light Of Divine truth, this Sunday loafing and gadding about over the country, is nothing but simple sin. The motive may not be sin, but the waste of the Holy day in idleness and common gossip, is sin, pure and simple, and there is no making anything else ou of it.
 Many of these folks hold themselves, in their own estimation, as the "upper tens' and first people of the land. They work like the d. all the week for No. l, and then decide that God owes them a day for their industry hence they go a-loafng round and round, spending the golden hours of God Holy day in idleness and dissi- patton.
 They usually sleep late on Sunday morning, killing their vigor and the best of the day by self-indulgence, eat d late breakfast and then scent out some path to spend the other precious hours Of the morning in lolling around some place of questionable merit.
 They seldom go to church. The Sunday morning church bells call to moral and religious services falls as dead on their ear as if they were gravestones. And, morally, they are a moving monument over the tomb of misspent opportunities.
 Many, aye, many also in this prodi. gious number claim to be Christian men and women, and, as members, belong to the various churches. But their deeds and words do not speak forth the spirit nor the principles of Christianity when they use this day for self and worldly purposes.
 The Good Book contains law agairf& stealing and all law must have a penalty, and that penalty must be executed and that means punishment. IL Is theft outright against Gods law for a man to use the Sabbath to his own qualification and not for the glory of God.
 Logically this Sunday loaing and gadding is scripturally sin, and if held to, and unrepented of, will as surely end in moral death to the doer as if he had violated any other of Gods laws, and seek no forgiveness therefor.
 If the Sunday morning was spent in meditation on Divine things and an attendance at some religious service, then the afternoon spent in call to see some one sick or in trouble, there by giving a cup of cold water in His name" there would be some hope of reward.
 This is no far-fetched picture of many of our people. They are under eye, ear and hand shot. Perhaps Continued on page D
