THE SALARIES OF JURISTS.

The Graphic is in receipt Of a let ter from Monsignor J. M. Lucey, in which he advocates more lucrative salaries for judges of the Supreme Court and he refers to a letter, re- gently received by him from Hon. Edgar A. McCulloch, chief justice of inc Supreme Court of Arkansas, in which that able jurist an dstatesman declares that the fault of the present ron-enforcement of law lies not with the laws, nor with the judges, but with public sentiment which has be- come vitiated with the virus of evil influences.
 The Graphic heartily endorses the utterances of Chief Justice McCul- loch and especially the able argu- ment advanced by Monsisner Lucey in behalf of better pay for judges of the various courts. In his letter Monsignor Lucey says:
 "lt was my honor recently to re- ceive from Hon. Edgar A. McCulloch, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Arkansas, letter in which sentiments are expressed which I believe would be gratefully welcomed by the general public. The Chief Justice in respond Ing to a letter which contained a statement of some public expressions of mine on law enforcement. declar- 7 ed that in his opinion, in which we may safely consider the other judges of the Supreme Court and in general all our circuit judges concur. the fault of the present non-enforcement of law lies not with the laws themselves which are ample and wholesome, nor with the judges, who are capable and courageous, but with public sentiment which has become vitiated with the virus of evil influences.
 ..Chief Justice McCulloch declares moreover that judges of the courts even of the Supreme Court, are not only not insensible to public opinion but are even pleased to hear an ex- pressson of the intelligent and patrio- ] tic ideas of their fellow citizens on court lroceedings. If tits pronounce Ment is true, and believe it to be SO there is no excuse for talking about the recall of judges. as they are al z ready near enough to the people. i

have not the permission of Justice McCulloch to publish his letter and may not be entirely within the pro- prieties of the matter in writing the above, but I believe that such high and honorable sentiments ought to be made known in some way to the pub lie.
 "In view of the truths embodied in these sentiments, a duty is devolVed upon all good citizens and especially upon the pulpit and the press, to ele- vate public opinion above the low and sordid level to which it has fallen, so that the time may come when the greatest terror before the eyes of evil-doors will be the terror of the law of the land and it's enforcement.
 ..Another duty remains to be fulfill ed by all good citizens. Our supreme justices and our circuit judges should be placed in position where they will do their verysbest work. When per son wishes to get a cord of wood saw
 
 ed, good man will be found to do the work for fifty cents. Give the same man one dollar for saving the cord of wood, he will take more care and saw and split the wood to the ad vantage of the owner. But give the man one dollar and fifty cents for doing the work, if he has the spirit of the man about him, he will give more than a full return for the money He will not only saw the wood and split up every particle of it to the special size desired, but he will place it in the woodshed conveniently piled for the hand of the cook
 | "By this extra expenditure of money everybody is the gainer. The cook is pleased, the owner finds that cord of wood treated that way goes much farther than the ordinary kind. The working man is pleased because he can now get better food for himself and family and add a few comforts to his home. Above aH he feels in good spirit. The world is treating him we'll and he is ready to treat the world well. He becomes in his pro cess much better citizen than he was before.
 "When VIC double the salary of our N justices of the Supreme Court and of our circuit and chancery courts, we shall be the gathers more than the judges. They will be able to enlarge their libraries and get useful though expensive hooks, now out of their reach. They will be able to employ secretary or assistant to take oft thelr hands tho drudgery of preliminary work. They will be able to take an occasional vacation to recuperate wasted strength. They will especial ly enjoy the satisfaction and pleasure of knowing that they are now on level with those who hold correspond ing commercial and industrial posi- tions of trust and they will exert themselves to the very utmost of their ability to uphold the pride of their manhood and the reputation of their state. It is unnecessary to draw tho evident conclusion that their work will 1 increase in value and worth 10 their follow citizens.'

According to the negro the young men sa d they were waiting to catch the train which would be forced to slow up on account of steep grade.
 An inquest was held today and a verdict of accidental death rendered.

Success in baseball. as in any other
branch Of activity. requires eternal
vigilance. That applies not only to
the men on the diamond. but also to
the man in the box office.
Connie Mack took a youthful team

with brilliant records, acquired two

pennant factor for at least three or
four years.
Under such circumstances n would
think there would be an excuse for
the willy chieftain to lay back and rest
and let the others pursue the wild
scramble for new players. But Connie
doesn't rest.
Connie declared last fall that he
would stand pat for 1912. Then he
proceeded to invest $13,750 for players
secured by outright purchase and $3,-
$50 for players secured by draft.
The annual report of the national
commission reveals that the National
League club owners relieved them
selves of $136.280 last year for play
ers by purchase and $45,000 for play
ers secured by draft.

ers Of the National league. invested
less than any other club in the major
leagues. Boston paid $6,950 in the
purchase of players and invested only
$3.50 in securing players by draft.

the new national agreement between

but merely deferred ratification until
President Johnson could study it more
carefully.
zone of the best things that the
agreement will do for the minor
Il guess said Farrell, "is to prevent
