its life as an incorporated club,

aught to have the unanimous support
OF the community in the form OF active

gone out of vogue-it was worth too
much to community as musical and
social factor. We welcome anything
that poin.'s in the same direction. This
new music club does. It promises
good things for the community, both
unsteady and socially. 1t should bring
the people together for profitable and
pleasant hours. THE man that hath
no music in himself is fit for treason,

But every man has some music in him

We cannot turn a tune, bur we can
welcome this movement and proffer it
our cordial support. We beg to be

A QUESTION In ETHICS

a GENTLEMAN OF this county,
n widely connected with its busi-
ness Interests and keenly OBJ
servant of public affairs, has just
plunged us into the depths o, ethical
cogitation by a pertinent inquiry as 10
the propriety OF the County Commits
sioners drawing their iull sa larry, I'M
der the changed conditions OF their
office. 1t will be remembered that
when the salary OF the County Com
missioners was raised from $500 to
$1,000 per year. the sa.ute providing
for that raise said further:-"There
shall be general inspection by the
County commissioners OF all public
roads in the county, at least four times
in every year, &c, etc. The County
Commissioners shall inspect all re-
pairs to the pubic roads in the county
as soon as possible after such repairs
are made, etc, ETC.. The new Croth-
ers Law has completely altered all
this. he Commissioners do NOT in
specr the roads or have anything else
to do with them. In fac it is hard to
say just what duties are resting upon
the Commissioners at The present
month ami look over whatever bills
are presented for their inspection. One
Thousand Dollars per year does seem
a considerable sum 10 pay man for
this monthly visit-even though one
should concede the great value o. the
business judgment of those Commits
sioners. In other words most OF our
people think that it i; a good deal of
hardship to ask the taxpayers to put
up $1,000 per year fol Commissioners
salaries, when it would require a mag
nlfying glass to discover anything they
do to represent adequate services rem
dered for salaries paid. At the same
time we fail to see anv present rer.i-
edy for the situation 1t is one OF the
benficenr results OF those important
measures, which the Governor was
anxious to get through the last Legs

Omar d. Crothers." As we said to
our inluiring friend there can be no
doubt abou, the Commissioners being
