TEE PRESIDENTS SALARY.

Senator Bourne, OF Oregon, has in
troduced a bill to increase the SAL
airy of the president from $4,000 per
year, which has been attached TO the
office since 1873, TO 100000, and that
Of the vice president to $4,000.
The constitution specifies no salary
for either officer. Article II. section1
says. @The president shall at stated
times. receive compensation which
shall neither be increased nor dimin-
ished during the period for which he
shall have been elected; and he shall
not receive within that period other
emolument from the United States, OF
any of them"
The amount of salary was thus
left for the first congress to deter
mine. Washington stated that he de-
sired no salary, but some figure had
to be fixed. Amounts ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 were suggested and
s25, 900 was agreed upon. 1t remained
at that figure until, during Grants
second term, it was increased to $780,.
600, the present sum paid.
At the second session OF the fifty
ninth congress an appropriation or
s25, 600 was voted for the travelling
expenses of the president, Ito be ex-
pended at his discretion, and &C.
counted for by his certificate solely;
For 1907, congress also voted $780,
600 for the care Of the executive
mansion, its stables and green houses.
The vice president, like the cabinet
officers receives $4,000 a year, sum
which, while it is ample compensation
for the actual duties he performs, is
inadequate to meet the calls Of the
social side of the position which
some incumbents feel called upon to
maintain.
The presidents salary is at present
only a fraction Of what European
monarchs receive. Even the king OF
Roumania receives over $4,000 while
the king of Prussia has an income
from the government Of more than
$500, 900. France pays its president
1920. 900 per year, with an added sl2O'
/ 600 for his exeplses. The salary OF
the president of Mexico is $4,000

THE NEW YEAR.

The New Year is here. The old
year is gone. Never mind what 1t
held of sorrow or reverses. It's days
are numbered and it is gone for ever,
never to return There were disap-
continents and failures, pleasures
and successes, but now they are the
things of the past. The New Year
is what we have to look forward to-.
Let US make it as bright and prosper
Gus as we may. Let Us forget the
things of the past and work for the
brighter, better things to come. All
that we have is the future. The old
year is gone and the things of today,
tomorrow, will be no more 1t is to-
morrow, the coming year, that we
have 10 reckon with. All that we have
inherited from the old year is expert
ence, and that is our best teacher.
Let us profit by our experience and
make the New Year such that the les
soBs learned from it will fit US more
perfectly for the future which lies
beyond. Let the New Year mark an
era Of progress in AIartinsburg. Let
it be the beginning of Greater
Nertinsburg" With a concerted eff
forL we can bring Martinsburg to the
front and place it on plane where
it will shine forth as an example OF
all that is progressive. The things OF
this New Year are to be developed
No man knows yet what they will be
but we can so prepare ourselves THAI
when they spring up we can care fol-
them and work them out to our ad
vantage. Let us start now to work FOR
this Greater Martinsburg."

WILL APPLY FOR
HOSPITAL CHARTER
Majority of Capital Stock in New
Enterprise Already Subscribed and
Success Seems Assured.

From The World of Thursday.
The committee on the proposed new
hospital and training school for nurses
held meeting last night in Attorney
C. e. Martins Office. 1nasmuch as a
good majority OF the shares of the
$4,000 capital stock had already been
subscribed and the way seemed to be
clear for carrying out the purpose Of
the promoters Of the hospital scheme,
1t was decided TO apply to the secre-
tary OF state of West Virginia Tor a
charter and Mr.. Martin was author
lied to make the application at once.
No action was taken with regard
to the purchase OF the City hospital
property from DR.. T X. Oates, that
proposition being held over for future
consideration. But whether or not
the stockholders in the present hos
pltal enterprise take over the aifore-
said property, the movement has
reached a stage when new hospital
and nurses training school may be
safely predicted, and the questio~ Of
locations will not be the most difncuit
problem confronting the promoters Of
the movement
