these, there are between twenty-six
and thirty other judges. sitting in va
rious divisions OF the supreme court
Of judicature, who draw $25.0o0 apiece.
On their retirement from the bench
they receive pensions equivalent to
two-thirds Of their salary for the re-
mainder Of their lives.
It is recognized by all that. in view
Of the money earned by able lawyers
at the bar, the salary is not excessive.
It is matter of vital Importance to
the government and to the nation that
they should have the highest legal tai
ent Of the realm at their disposal for

being the case, it is only right that
they should pay fair price for it
On the continent Of Europe the sal

America-so small, indeed. that they
offer no attractions whatsoever to real
