WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Feb. g.
Dear Dad-There is a mysterious
something connected with the busl-
ness of deciding lawsuits called the
dignity OF the Office" What Is II!
II is something which costs money
and il apparently Is something which
must be maintained" Just how!
What does il mean? What is the
operation which one goes through in
maintaining the dignity OF an office
| find Congressman James A. Taw'
ney discoursing on the subject. Here
Is an extract from the Congressional
Record OF very recent date. Con
gress was discussing the salaries oil
our judiciary:
There Is a man occupying posi-
ton OF circuit judge or OF district
Judge, who is dependent wholly upon
his salary for his living. who can live
in Keeping with the dignity OF the
once which he holds and at the same
time educate his children as he de-
sires them TO be educated and as they
ought to be educated on $1,000 year,
even when his travelling expenses are
paid.'
Here is a man guaranteed $1,000 a
year for life. life job is better than
fortune out at interest II would
take over 100000 well invested TO
produce $1,000 all mans life. Fat
that is not the point The point IL
that this income of $1,000 year for
life is not enough TO enable man
who decides lawsuits TO live in keep
ing with the dignity OF the Office which
he holds and at the same time educate
his children.
OF course, the children must not be
sacrificed OF course, children must
be educated. And suppose we assume
that public schools and high schools
are out OF the question when il comes
TO educating the children OF a man
whose business II is. at $1,000 year,
10 decide lawsuits, even when we
have deducted 81 200 a year each for
two children land that is the number
of children mentioned by Mr.. Taw-
new there is still $4,000 a year To
nav rent and grocery bills and buy
clothes. and TO maintain this dignity
of the office"
How is il done? We know what
official dignity is in Russia or Aus
tria. or even I'm q country like Great
Britain, where there are the survivais

giveness for his sins, saying
that he had sinned so dreadfully
it would be just punishment if
the stones composing the stone
wall should fall on him.
After he had done this for
three or four days, some mis-
chievous boys discovered what
the farmer was doing, so the
next time he prayed for forgive,
ness as well as for punishment,
the boys tumbled some stones
down on him, whereupon he
said:
"Oh, Lord, / DID NOT MEAN
THAT LITERALLY"
In the year 1911 we hope
there will be no stumps and
rocks to jolt us, so that we will
even temporarily forget our
duty to the publicly printing

Il am very sure that IL this agreement

what Mr.. Clark said.
The annexation doctrine was preached by
Representative Clark. speaker-apparent OF
the next house, In the course Of his speech
in the house yesterday in favor OF the
agreement He said:
Il am for II, because / hope to see the
day when the American flag will float over
every square foot Of the British North
American possessions, clear TO the North
pole. They are people OF our blood. They
speak our language. Their institutions are
much like ours. They are trained in the
difficult art Of self government. My judg-
ment is that II the treaty Of 1854 had never
been abrogated the chances Of a consolida-
ton Of these two countries would have been
much greater than they are now"
ASKED whether that would have n tend
ency to preserve peace with Great Britain,
Mr.. Clark said:
Absolutely, certainly It would. have
no doubt whatever that the day is not far
distant when Great Britain will joyfully
see all Its North American possessions be-
come a part OF this republic That is the
way things are tending now"
Bad Impression at Toronto.
TORONTO, Feb. 15.-Champ Clark's re-
marks in the house of representatives at
Washington last night when discussing
reciprocity has caused comment here to-
day. The prospect OF annexation to the
United States is the last thing any Cana
dian wants and the eongTessman's declara-
ton as to the ultimate effect Of reciprocity
is rambling In the hearts of liberals who
have heretofore been strong supporters OF
reciprocity.

LONDON, Feb. 15.--The American
Canadian reciprocity agreement came to
the House Of Commons again today. The

nationalist leader in the legislature Of
Quebec, that the home government had
encouraged the Canadian government to
conclude reciprocity trade understanding
with the United States.
Premier Asquith replied:
'The statement is entirely without
foundation In fact"
The premier also denied that Ambas-
sador Bryce had been engaged actively
in helping to bring about the agreement.
