consideration.
Good citizens have good word 20
say for their town. They know rs
good points. and II there are other pc.
culiaritics. they do no; prcscn, them.
The grumblcr who knows all the
bad features OF a town and mentions
them at every opportunity !, not only
a poor citizen. but he Is one who does
nothing TO improve the town he lives

cannot improve property for lack Of

Democratic Simplicity

The senate has passed bill increas-
ing the presidents salary 10 $1oo.Ooo
per annum. and this. too. following
the so-called rebuke of the members Of
congress. The big stick and the
'pitchfork' got in their work. but in
spite of tina. the bill has passed the
passed the upper house. Senators
Bailey. democrat. and Borak. Tepubii-
can. spoke warmly against the meas
ure and deplored the tendency to de-
part from democratic simplicity. The
latter condemned it as departure
from the constitution.
Figures were presented to show that
Mr. Roosevelt had drawn an average
of S196.Go0 per year. his extras loom
| ing up more than ten times as much
as much as those of any of his prede-
cessors in Office. But at that it may
we'll be doubted whether the American
people will ever have another such a
president at any price.
The income of the national treasury
has been the largest in these years
that it has ever been. yet We ran b.
hind millions, last year to the tune of
many millions. This is the more sig
nificant when we consider that the ex-
. ira expenditure Of money for the build
. ing of the Panama canal is not paid
out of government funds. but by the
special process of selling bonds. as is
also the vast reclamation service con-

MEDICAL EXPERTS,

Up at Buffalo. New York. the other
day the New York Bar Association
started good movement when it
stated that in it's opinion the introduce
ton of medical experts is injurious to
modern judicial procedure. What
they protest against is the hiring of
experts at enormous cost to testify in
cases. These cases are usually either
will cases or murder trials Every
one will remember instances where
experts have on their oath testified
that two extremes were true.
This can only be accounted for by
the fact that men have price The
New York Bar Association says prac-
tically the same thing when it re-
marks that this practice tends to put
professional knowledge on the plane
of commercialism." There is no
doubt that there are many experts
who testify honestly. AT the same
time there is a great temptation to
an expert witness to testify that he
knows such and such a thing to be
true if he knows that he is going to be
paid well to do 1t. That is only a
legalized form Of bribery and perjury.
The bar association thinks the con.
dition can be remedied by the simple
act of not allowing expert testimony
to be paid any more than common
witness. There will not be quite so
many experts anxious to testify If
they are only to be paid minimum
price.
Then IL medical expert is banker
Ing after rakeoff, it is likely that
SOONER Or later he will be caught in
that very ancient law which precludes

Senator Borah declared that the pro-
posal would never have been made
during presidential campaign Or pre-
vious to it. This goes to show that
popular approval is not given 1t. and
in the end it may become a menace to
the party making it, There is much
in the air these days that apprives
Jeffersonian simplicity. Monarchial
splendor is still feared by many peo-
pie. 1t CRATES on the feelings of many
people to think that the holding of
any Office. even if it be the office of
president should be marked by regal
splendor. No one especially regrets
