OF the monarchical system and the
traditions OF the divine right OF kings,
and more or less divine right OF
judges. But in America, In n repuo-
lie, I'm democracy, in the country
founded BY the Puritans, In the coun-
try whose traditions come down from
Washington and from Lincoln, what
in the name of all our country's tutel-
airy divinities In this dignity OF the
office?'
Is ii feeding? Is 1t pheasants? Is
IL fish? Is IL food of any kind? Or
wine? Are these the things which
require an addition to the salary
after paying for the children's educa'
ton?
1t cannot be ermine and a wig? In
the days of old, Ibis honor" wore the
robes of royalty, sat upon wool
sack" and wore horsehair wig, and
still our supreme court writes with
its quill pens and drapes its tailored
suit with silken robes. But the court
in our country no longer trails real
ermine The court Is not an earl nor
a chancellor, nor prince OF the
church administering divine process
es as the agent Of omnipotence and
omniscience.
The courts today do not have a
crier with a bundle of fasces going
on ahead warning the common peo-
pie that the administrator of the law
is among them, .symbolizing with the
ak and the rods the authority OF the
Judge. and followed by crew OF
bailiffs and trailed by an executioner.
These were formerly part of the
dignity of the Office" the things
which made the common people re-
spect the law.
But that was a long time ago To-
day dignity of the Office" must be
something different
A circuit Judge with life income
OF $1,000 year and unable to main
tain the dignity OF his Office? What Is
this expensive adjunct to the courts
of modern days?

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 8.
Dear Dad-There is a mysterious
something connected with the bust
ness of deciding lawsuits called the
dignity of the Office" What is II!
II is something which costs money
and 1t 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 once!
i find CONGRESSMAN James A. Taw
ney discoursing on the subject. Here
IL an extract from the Congressional
Record OF a very recent date. Con
gress was discussing the salaries OF
our judiciary:
There is a man Occupying posi-
ton of circuit judge or or distric'
Judge, who Is dependent wholly upon
This salary for his living, who can live
In keeping with the dignity OF the
Office 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. A life job Is better. than
fortune out at interest IL would
take over 100000 well invested to
produce $1,000 all mans life. But
that is not the point. The point Is
that this income of $1,000 a 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. or course, children must
be educated. And suppose we assume
that public schools and high schools
are out of the question when 1t comes
TO educating the children OF a man
whose business IL Is, at $1,000 a year,
TO decide lawsuits. even when we
have deducted $1,000 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 10 maintain this dignity
of the ONCE"
How is il done? We know what
official dignity is in Russia or Aus
tria, or even in a country like Great
Britain. where there are the survivais
