sAMDuA FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE

* II q "a
Judge joel M. Sandin Of the Super4
Tor cont, today filed for the Demo
cratic nomination for Judge of the
Superior court of Logan county
Judge Sandlin came to Oklahoma ten
years ago and while only thirty years
OF age has held many important posi-
tions He was admitted to the bar
at Guthrie in January, 1904, and in
1906 was elected by popula~ majori-
ty as a member of the constitutional
convention from district %, Lincoln
county. In the constitutional cOnven-
tion he served as chairman OF the
committee on judicial appo! tionment
and as member of several other
important committees of that body.
Upon the advent Of statehood he was
selected by Governor Haskell as his
private secretary, which position he
filled until April 1909, when he was
appointed Judge of the Logan county
Superior court, which position he now
holds. lli
Judge Sandlin has made good in
every public office he has held and
his record is one of which anyone
should feel proud He is popular and
we'll known throughout the county
and state, is well liked by the Logan
county bar. He has made an able
and conscientious Judge, has always
been consistent friend and support
er of Guthrie, and has donated liber-
ally in her behalf Whenever the oc-
casion arose. The people of Logan
could would do we'll indeed to elect
him as judge OF the Superior coult.
The election to office of such men
as Judge Sandlin means economy,
justice, equity and good name for
the county.

The American with the largest salary
is said to be the well known mining engi-
neer, John Hays Hammond, the Presi-
dents close friend and golf crony. His
pay has been variously stated. con-
sentative estimate being $25O.O00 year.
IL he receives this sum his brain is worth

son living on the income of his fortune
and killing time.
Samuel Untermyer of New York was
reported the other day to have received
$775.OO0 for four years legal work on a
big copper case, and IL this figure is COR

was earning for him as much as $3.50
600 would have earned IL well invested.
Richard Mansfields annual profits from
his plays were estimated at from $780, O0
to S200,OOO per season during the last
years of his life. and If this Is so he had
-million-dollar brain. while David
Warfield, il he really earns the average
of S2JO.OOO a year, now so persistehtly at
tributed to him, has a brain bearing the
stamp of Mr.. 100000.
And the most valuable feminine brain
in this country is said to be Miss Maude
Adams. which must be marked up to
S.5O0OOO If it earns for her her reported
$175.O00 per year. Julia Marlowe is said
to have earned $4,000 when she played
romantic drama. but only $4,000 since
she took up Shakespearean roles. which,
paradoxical as 1t may seem-looks like

up to $224.0OO. yielding $1,000 year.
AS far as the President, Vice President,
cabinet and other temporary officers OF
the government are concerned, these val
ues are not permanent, of course. Thus
President Taft's brain, although yielding
him as much today as would a million
and a half dollars invested in good Sc
curities, may come down to one-third or
one-fourth its value after he leaves the
White House,. But in the case of the
Supreme Court justices and army and
navy officers, their brains will depreciate
little or none in value, no matter how
old they become. The material in Chief
Justice Fuller's cerebral cOnvolutionS will
be worth $260.OOO to him as long as he
lives, whether he retires or not and no
matter if he should lose his reason alto
gether, and, in similar manner. his asso-
ciates on the bench may rest assured that
their skull filings are worth a quarter
million dollars to each of them as long as
they breathe the breath Of life.

were filled either with 81, 10000 in per

the one accumulation of principal or the

Each bit of knowledge stored in the

The value of this vast total of cerebral
substance is equal to that of 100000
ounces, 1S1 go pounds or 80 2-3 tons of
pure gold.
The brains of Congress alone are worth
S74.OOn,Om, by the government valuation.
And speaking of the value of brains In
the precious metal, it might be interest
ing to state that President TaftS are
now worth BIZ tons of pure gold.
Now the brain of the average male OF
our race weighs 431s ounces. Supposing
Mr.. Taft's, which is very large, to weigh
s., ounces, we may figure it out that 1t
is worth over 131 times its weight in
gold.
But what interests the reader even
more is to know the equivalent, in per
cent stocks and bonds, OF the meat in his
own humble cocoanut.
Here is a little table Of salaries and
equivalent brain values, beginning with
the thirty dollar month man or woman
