I'M AID OF THE NEGROES.

Sir: The trustees of the Slater Indus

n c.. have written me that the state has
offered to give the school $4,000 if they
saw if the $4,000 is raised and put into ma
terial they will do the labor free
The leading white people of the town
have engineered the school from the be-
ginning and have taxed themselves to the
extreme limit to bring the institution UP to
its present capacity of Ago students. They
cannot POSSIBLY raise the $4,000 without out
side aid
1t is a sad sight to see the negro boys
and girls turned away daily for lack of
accommodations. The Salutary effect of
the school has eliminated every vestige of
race friction in the vicinity This industrial
institution has solved the knotty race prob
lem completely, for this community at least
1t would be calamity, and great one.
to the negroes to fail to double the capacity
of the plant by the above plan.
1t is not, however, local affair, but a
national one, and every patriotic citizen
who slips a dollar or more IN an envelope
and mails it to the treasurer of the school,

of great Importance If the trustees are
enabled to embrace the states offer the
capacity OF the school will be doubled.

JUDICIAL SALARIES.

1t is to be hoped that the general
pcrts from Washington, Senators and
Representatives regard the President
judicial appointments will incline them
TO look with equal favor upon his ear
nest recommendation that the salaries Of
federal judges should be raised by sub
Stantial amounts. Justices of the SUI
preme Court now receive $1,000 with
az extra allowance of $500 to the Chief
.Justicel; Circuit judges, $1,000, and Dis
tTict judges. S6.00o. Mr.. Taft urges
that these too moderate salaries should
be increased to $1,000 land S11.500).
$4,000 and $4,000. There is nothing
new in his plea. On the contrary, it is
supported by a long array of solid argu-
mentS heretofore presented and. We be-
lieve, by the weilnigh unanimous opin-
ion of all who are competent to estimate
the requirements and proprieties of the
case.
If Congress refuses or neglectS to
grant the relief proposed, it will not re-
fleet the general sentiment Of the coun-
try. There is not the slightest reason
to believe that the respectable hbeTality
with which the Presidential office, after
much discussion and long delay. has at
last been treated is regarded with any
thing but hearty appreciation in any
part of the country. So it would be If
the meagre salaries of the federal judges
-meagre in relation to their important
functions. their hard work and the con-
ditions which their official status i'm
poses-Should be raised to the amounts
which the President suggests as reason
able
1t has sometimes been said. probably
with less truth than mean complac ency.
that the country has never suffered from
! the unwillingnesS Of competent men to
serve it on the bench for the salaries
fixed by law. If that assertion could be
verified it would be wholly incOnclusiye.
The country does not want to drive a
hard bargain with its judges, TO exact
depressing sacrifices while they are in
the full vigOr Of life or afflict their de-
| Ginning years with anxiety for those who
are dependent on them In too many
cases the present scale of remuneration
subjects them TO such penalties as these,
and in so doing impairs their usefulness
| In greater or less degree. The public
would be glad to have their circum-
stances made more easy and would eX-
pect to see their efficiency increased by
! a tightening of their burdens.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1910-12-14

gage in private occupations for gain
can scarcely amass a competency even
in long lifetime. And the nature of
the work which they have to do does
not conduce TO prouacted careers of ac-
tivity. They are liable at any time to
be invalided or disabled. or to be killed
and have their families left destitute.
Under such circumstances the plea Tor
Il generous provision for them or for
their dependent survivors should be IL
reSistible. 1t is regarded as a reproach
that a man who risked his life and lost
! limb or health in battle for his country
should be left to beggary. 1t is no less
4 reproach that these heroes of count
less battles with the elements for the
saving of life should be abandoned to
| the same fate.

REMAINING 125TH STREET.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To change the name of 18th street
seems urwise for the following reasons:
Ffrst-One Hundred and Twenty-hfth
street is undoubtedly the most important
retailing street in the city.
Second-Named streets, instead of num-
bered streets, have always been perplex-
ing nuisance to strangers, and indeed TO
many born and brought up in New York.
The difficulties experienced by visitors In
finding such streets Bond, RiVington
Columbia and others are too numerous to
mention. If these streets were property
numbered a child could find them.
Third-Many shopkeepers have been in the
habit for years of drawing attention to
their businesses by declaring that their
stores are in 125th street
Fourth-The great confusion such a
change would occasion.
