For Mayor.
To the Voters of Brunswick:
Il hereby announce myself a can
didate for mayor of the city OF Bruns-
wick for the ensuing two years, sub
ject to the white primary. With an
experience of four years of active SER
vice as alderman, / believe | have
sufficient knowledge of the city's af-
fairs, both in its operating and execu-
tive departments, to warrant asking
to be placed at the head of control.
And should you select me as mayor |
assure you most heartily that | will
fill the office to the best of my abil-
ity. In my judgment Brunswick's
future was never brighter than now,
and it will be my great pleasure, If
permitted, to assist with my admin
istration in bringing the city abreast
with the development Of our sister
cities.
by way of explanation l would say
that it is usual, believe in political
contests, for the candidate to make
personal solicitation for votes. Now,
have not done this in one single in
stance, as according to my way of
thinking, a voter should express his
own convictions on the merits of
candidate, unhampered by personal
appeal
Il have not the pleasure of per-
sonal acquaintance with every voter
in the city, but l respectfully solicit
tIe support of one and all VINO be-
lieve me to be, according to reliable,
unbiased information, the better
equipped and qualiled for the office
and the best interests of the cry.

I hereby announce my candidacy
for the office of mayor of the city of
Brunswick and will appreciate the
support of my friends and the vot-
ers generally. Respectfully,

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

A writer in a current publication
beWails the decadence of the Christ
mas story. Decadence is hardly the
word. English and American writ
ers as a whole have seldom succeed
ed in depicting the spirit of Christ
mas in words and phrases. Dickens
did it in his Christmas Carol" the
only real Christmas story ever writ
ten; in "Pickwick Papers" and else
where in his voluminous works.
Washington Irving gives us some
vivid sidelights on Christmas in
England in the early part of the
past century in the pages of his al
ways interesting sketchbook, and
Pepys, in his quaint way, lives over
for us in his diary a British Christ
mas of a still earlier day. Aside
from these, the true spirit of the
worlds greatest holiday shines all
too infrequently from the pages of
even our most noted authors.
Dickens wrote the one great
Christmas classic because he was
not only a born story-teller, but
himself the very incarnation of the
spirit of Christmas. 1t bloomed and
blossomed in his heart and over
flowed on all around him. He kept
Christmas as we may imagine
Scrooge did in the years that follow
ed the chastening and the mellow
ing of his self-centered old soul.
We don't observe the day in the
bluff and hearty manner OF Dickens
and his English neighbors. We have
lost something of the fullness, the
charm, the royal good cheer of the
feast. Irving, too, wrote from
heart full of delightful memories
and a sincere appreciation of the
holiday customs of his time. So did
those few others who have success
fully portrayed the Christmas spirit
in prose and poesy.
The fault is not alone with the
writer's If there be scarcity Of good
Christmas literature, but with us as
well. We have given the author Of

ceives from the State of Pennsylva-
MIA salary of six thousand dollars
per year. The Independent inti-
mates that so large a salary is a gross
outrage on the rights of the com
mon people," and ascribes the pres
ent high cost of living in part at
least to the enormous compensation
received by the judges. Does the
Independent really know how ridi-
culous it is making itself? We as
sert that, beyond all shadow of
doubt-the Independent to the con-
trary Notwithstanding judge
earns his salary.
When he sits in another district,
he does so because the courts there
are congested with cases, and it is
vastly more economical for the state
to pay an outside judge twenty dol
lars a day for a few days or weeks
service than to provide an additional
judge for the district at a salary of
from $4,000 to $500. Moreover,
a capable trial judge is worth vastly
more to the county in which he sits
and which pays him nothing direct
ly, than the twenty dollars day he
receives from the State. The man
ner in which he eXpedites business,
brings litigation to an end, saves
costs and expenses and the waste of
useless controversy, makes him the
greatest conservator in the commun-
ity of the peace and order as we'll as
the prosperity of the people.
The citizens of a community de-
mand and are entitled to the best
legal skill at the bar to occupy their
bench. But that skill has been OBJ
tanned only at the cost of years of
preparation, of study and of expert
ence, and that skill and experience
are worth, and earn in the legal
market as much, and in a great
number of cases vastly more, than
the salary of any judge in Pennsyl-
vania. If the salaries of judges are
to be reduced, as the Independent
would have them, to the level of the
income of the young and briefess
barrister, or the country justice, we
shall have the inconsequent lawyer
or the country justice on the bench.
Such things always regulate them
selves.
The man who by reason of un-
usual ability, experience, skill or
judgment is capable of performing
unusual service is entitled to be re-
warded accordingly, whether he sits
on the bench of the court or in the
editorial chair.

AS TO THE COMPENSATION OF
JUDGES.

The Independent is making a
great ado over the fact that by vir-
tue of the Act of 27th April, 1911,
a judge receives $40 a day for hold
ing court outside his own district
The Independent says he receives
twenty dollars per day and expenses
besides" and in another column en-
phasizes the statement by asying that
the judges mot only receive twenty
dollars per day but also their car
fares and expenses" and still further
along in the same column it declares
that the judge of Wayne county
trict 'is practically receiving forty
dollars a day and his car fare and
expenses" Either the Independent
is ignorant of the Act of Assembly
which it boastingly exploits, or
else it has made a deliberate mis-
statement. That act says that the
Judge so presiding shall receive the
sum of twenty dollars per day and
car fare and no more" The Inde-
pendent also misstates the law
either ignoTantly or maliciously,
when it says that "the judges pay
is from four to twelve dollars an
hour, and this he draws whether he
works or not" The Act of Assembly
above referred to expressly provides
that mo payment shall be made for
days consumed in such service of
more than expenses and car fare un-
less said judge, so assigned, actual
ly presides in open court, either at
argument, hearing or trial"
The Independent also fiaunts its
gross ignorance of the duties of a
judge when it assumes that his only
working hours are those during
which he sits in open court. AS a
matter of fact the longest and most
laborious hours a judge puts in are
the hours spent in his office.
The judge of Wayne county in
common with many other judges, re-

NOT THE POINT AT ISSUE.

We were mistaken in the law.
The Citizen was wrong and the In
dependent was right concerning the
compensation received by judges
sitting outside their districts. We
have already made the amende
honorable, as it was our duty to do.
But whether or not we quoted the
law correctly is not the point at IS
sue. 1t is of little moment what
compensation judges do or do not
receive compared with the question
whether it is just or decent or pa
triotic for presumably reputable
journals to subject the judges of our
courts TO repeated attacks, not on
any specific charge of wrong-doing,
but by mean slur and base innuendo,
such as called forth our protest last
week. There can be but one purpose
in such conduct, namely to cast dis
credit on the courts, and arouse feel
ings of envy and hatred toward the
judges on the part of the people.
A newspaper may believe that
this attitude on its part makes for
popularity with those whom it de-
lights to call the common people" 5"
But we doubt it. The American
workingman, as a rule, is too sensi-
BILE to be gulled by the sophistries OF
the demagogue. The Citizen yields
to no one il its admiration for the
fellowship with the men who labor
with their hands. They are the
backbone of every community. But
we have only contempt for the per-
son or journal that attempts to
arouse class hatred by persistent and
malicious attacks on those who have
achieved material success. Most of
the men who are drawing the big
salaries to-day, are men who have
fought their way up from the ranks.
The splendid thing ABOUT this coun-
try is the equality of opportunity it
offers to all. No better illustration
of this can be had than is seen in
the case of the editor and owner of
the Independent who, by reason OF
persistent effort and unusual abil-
ity, has in the course of few
years amassed a competence, and is
sole owner of one of the most valu-
able country printing and publishing
plants in Pennsylvania. Yet we do
not find the editor of the Independ-
ent comparing his affluence and
prosperity with the humble earnings
of the man whom nature has less
lavishly endowed with ability or per-
sistency or foresight

SMALLER PAPER MONEY.

Secretary MacVeagh has awarded
to Kenyon Cox, the distinguished ar
tist, the task of making new designs
for the paper money, which is to be
issued next spring. The new notes
are to be by 21a inches, as COM
pared with ~ by inches, as at
present. 1t is believed that the new
size will be a great convenience, but
it is not likely that the change
would have been made had it not
esemed highly desirable to alter the
general appearance of our notes.

When it ferments it sets loose in
