Market Value OF Dignity.

The remark attributed to Frank
B. Kellogg-that the government
cannot expect to compete with trusts
In paying salaries and that dignity
and honor ought to count as an ele-
ment in determining the pay of fed
eral judges-may be little ironical,
but 1t contains a big grain of truth.
The demand for higher salaries for
federal judges is no different from
that in other private and public poeit-
ions. The one argument of high
cost of living is offered as conclu-
slve and, while 1t may be just to pay
these public servants more, Mr..
Kellogg is right when he says that
dignity and honor must be computed
in the summary. In this country
men have accepted federal judgeships
whom salary could not tempt. The
same is true of nearly every other
Office OF great trust with the gift of
the country. Senator Root gave up
law practice estimated to yield an
annual income of 100000 for
Cabinet position then paying $4,000,
and as senator he receives only ST.
500. Mr.. Kellogg himself is cred
tied with a desire to represent Min
nesota in Senate, showing that he
holds the value of official dignity and
honor above other considerations

EVIL OF Procrastination.

Much Of the unhappiness and i'm
providence in life is caused by early
habits of procrastination, habits
contracted unconsciously, perhaps,
when character is in its formative
stage, and at the very time when
most attention should be given to
the unframed nature. 1t is so easy
to fall into a happy-go-lucky way of
living, so easy to jog along uncon-
cernedly, doing the things which suit
US best and perhaps which count for
the least, and leaving undone all the
acts, and unspoken all the words,
and unexpressed all the thoughts,
and unused all the advantages which
are really so essential to a better
understanding of ourselves and the
wonderful life being lived about us.
What a bright world of promise
fulfilled this would be If RESPONSE
bility could only be made half as at
tractive as some of the minor diver
sions which means to furnish so
much pleasure to their partakers. II
the hard places could be made soft,
the rocky roads smooth, and diff
cult undertakings easy, there would
be small need for putting off from
day to day the fulfilling of any task
whatever. AS it is, with the certain
ty that happiness unalloyed is not
within the grasp of man, and with
the knowledge that sorrow and trou-
Bile must come at some time into
each of our lives. 1t seems strange
that for all our weak human nature
we cannot learn the lesson that pro-
crastination teaches and benefit
thereby.-Charleston News and Cour-
Ter

Bristol.-The Borough Council
passed this resolution at a special
meeting;
Resolved, That the Street Com
mittee of Council, In conju- jtion
with the borough solicitors, be au-
thorized to open negotiations and
take up with the Bristol Water Com
pany the proposition of the purchase
by the borough of the property and
plant of said water company and re-
port to Council
This matter first came up in May,
1906. when an ordinance was passed
calling for an election to ascertain
the will of the people regarding the
increasing of the Indebtedness to
100000 and the building of a mu-
nicipal works. A large majority of
votes polled at the election July 10,
1905, evidenced the desire of the
people to control their water sup
ply. A few weeks before the July
election six taxpayers instituted in
junction proceedings against the
borough. Judge Stout denied the
power of restraining the people from
voting. Later an appeal was made
to the Supreme Court of Pennsylva-
mia, which court in the early part
of 1909 sustained Judge Stout's deci.
sion and upheld the right of the
people to build a plant.
The installation of a sewerage sys-
tenn is also looked forward to, legis-
lation authorizing this having been
made two or three years ago.
