present salaries: In England there are
judges who are paid 10000 pounds a
year and allowances. In the United
States some receive Sl2,5OO, some $4,000,
and some $1,000. Active practice yields
vastly more than any of these to the
type of lawyer the bench needs. Is not
the difficulty twofold, therefore-to Sc
lect the right men and to pay them
according to their abilities?
The States must amend their own
ways. There viii be in most of the

Then, when the bench offers the citizen

A NEIGHBOR VIEW
OF S. N. d. NORTH
TFrom the Bunalo EEpress.I

The complaint which has been made
against s. n. d. North, Director OF the
Census, is sufficiently serious TO re-
qulre a thorough investigation. The
fact that It has been made by his su-
perior officer, Secretary Nagel, Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
greatly impairs Mr.. NOrth's usefulness
even though the charges may be found
TO be unwarranted. Public business
cannot be advanced by a subordinate
officer strengthening himself with Con-
gress to the point where his superior
cannot supervise his acts. as is charged
in this case. This means a division Of
authority where unity is necessary for
the public good.
The intimation that there is immor-
atty of the Census Bureau but en-
phasizes the necessity for eliminating
the spOils system from census appoint
ments. This was a matter which, It
is said, appealed strongly to President
Roosevelt when the Crumpacker bill
was before him. His veto of that meas
ure forced Congress to amend II SO as
to reduce the influence of the members
in the making of appointments practi-
cally TO nothing.
Saturdays Utica Observer. a news
paper OF opposite political faith to
Mr.. North, said Of the charges:
"He (NorthJ is one Of the strongest
party men that ever WGlll lOItn from
Oneida county. We would not feel
called upon TO defend him politically.
But we know him, If anybody does
this son of dear old Prof Edward
North of Hamilton College, and grand
son of Simon Newton Dexter; the
former managing editor Of the Utica
Morning Herald and president of the
state Associated Press: this man Of
finest feeling and refined character;
this husband and father of a noble
wife and daughters-and we refuse
to believe that anything will appear
on examination to arraign him as con-
sciously tolerating impuTity in his
bureau. Ii is from an intimate knowl-
edge Of him for well nigh forty years
that we speak It may be, however
and only this seems possible-that his
own personal purity has blinded him
60 that OF which he would be wholly
unsuspicious from his own moral
makeup. We do not believe that he
has changed in the recent years."
Mr.. North is a man Of the highest
character, OF high literary reputation,
an expert on the tariff. but a strong
partisan.

OUR COUSINS ARE ADJUSTING
THEIR SPECS.

England is adjusting her specs. The
German Dreadnaught scare may not be
over. but it no longer lifts its Kraken
shape and shuts out the sun. Her
business men, particularly the canny
Scots, are beginning to do some book
keeping.
Here, for example, is one who cal
culates:
How can it be shown that the Ger
man naval program is in advance of
the needs of their expanding popula-
tion, commerce, wealth, and foreign
possessionsl In the last ten
years we have spent three hundred
millions on the navy against Germany's
hundred and eight millions. Last year
we spent as much on repairs as she
spent on her whole navy"
And the Spectator, the prize sufferer
from this Germaniphobe nightmare,
makes this answer:
"our battleships are built to match
other battleships, and in particular
those of Germany That is why we
need so many of them, and why we
shall not be safe unless we have
enough to make it hazardous for Ger
many-the only power who is near
enough in strength to us to contem-
plate such thing-to risk war. If
being so powerful at sea as to be be-
yond the reach of attack is to play the
part of a bully, we most ardentIy de-
sire that our country shall earn that
name"
There is the measure of the policy
frankly expressed. Each nation must
undertake to be $50 powerful at sea as
TO be beyond the reach of attack" The
end is ruin The way is misery. Com
pare the Spectators sentiment with
this from a Hamburg merchant:
There are the best traders in the
world on either side of the North sea,
and they must haye peace in order to
sell goods and to keep both countries
alive. War viii paralyze the CONNER
eial energies of both England and Ger
many, drive export and import trade
into neutral ports, benefit every rival
flag, and be ruinous to both countries. -
We of the United States agree with
this shrewd German salesman. But we
cannot afford to smile over the despera-
ton of the militants in these two Euro
pean countries. The United States has
its share. There is a Southern Con
gresham who believes we ought to
maintain Pacific feet which will
alone be equal TO all the navy OF
Japan There have been many arou-
ments for increasing our Atlantic
squadrons by the construction of Dread
naughts as fast as England or Ger
many. The cost to US may easily
enough reach the British 100000. 900 in
ten years, if this advice is TO be fol.
lowed. Yet the teaching of the leaders
is that as fast as we move they must
move faster, and the further ahead
they get the more we must hurry to
catch up.
Let's hold our wheel steady in this
Dreadnaught channel. Let's don't al
low ourselves to be carried along by so
dangerous a current.

Capital Tales

~ REPRESENTATIVE SHERLEH
- Of Kentucky, had dropped in
TO talk over d little matter Of
business with Fred W. Carpen-
ter. Secretary to the President. II
must have been a matter causing some
excitement on the part Of Mr.. Sherley'
for he began to break UP the crockery
nearby.
on Mr.. Carpenters table there was a
paper weight bearing the picture Of for
mer Secretary Cortelyou. Mr.. Loeb
had kept II there although he cher
ished no affection for Cortelyou. In
his excitement Sherley brushed off the
heavy weight and it fell with crash
into handsome china cuspidor near
the desk.
or course, it knocked the bottom out
OF the cuspidor. but that did not Tease
Mr.. Sherley.
II beg your pardon" he said In pass
ing, and went on with his talk
When he left the janItor removed the
debris, including the paper weight with

is the official messenger from the White
House to the houses of Congress. He
Tugs up all the messages of the Presi-
dent and soiemnly presents them when
the houses are in session.
The first time Mr.. Latta delivered a
message TO the Senate is an occasion
well remembered He is about six and
q half feet tall. and when he appeared
at the door OF the chamber with a
bundle OF documents from President
Roosevelt he got slightly ratified. He
was duly presented and the formal re-
ception by the Vice President came of,
but Mr.. Latta suddenly lost his voice
and had a hard time unloading his i'm.
