BRITISH LAWYERS
Get BIC SALARIES
Highest Sums Paid Government OF.
ficials Fall to Those Who Repre-
sent 1t i'm Court.

London, Jan. 25.-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press. THE heavy
toll of the lawyers is the text for many
complaints in these days when econ
omy is being largely practiced by the
rich, and urgently preached to the
poor. Wherever member Of the legal
profession are employed by the gov
eminent in positions involving profess
sional practice their financial rewards
are far beyond the scale of those re-
ceived by other government officials,
however difficult, dangerous or bril-
liant may be the service of the less
fortunate branches of officialdom.
The three highest legal officials OF
the government, and considerable
body of judges, draw larger salaries
than the prime minister of Great
Britain. The highest officers of the
navy and army, whose duties often in
volye physical hardships and the risk
of death, are poorly paid in COMPARE
son with those who represent the gov
eminent in the courts. Today the peo-
pie are beginning to ask why this
should be, and members of the democ-
racy in politics as well as laboring
men are asking the question insistent-
ly. 1t has become a burning topic
with the democratic organs of the
press. Why should the lord chancel-
lor. whose duties are largely orna-
mental, be paid more than five times
the stipend Admiral Jellicoe receives,
is frequent query.
The office of lord chancellor is the
most shining traget for attack That
Office is now costing the government

of $4,000 and pension of $4,000.
Lord Buckmaster is drawing the sal
airy and three living predecessors,
Lords HalsbuGv, Loreburn and Hal
dane are receiving pensions.
Lord Halsbury held the office for 10
years and has been retired for 10 years
Consequently he has drawn three
quarters of a million dollars for 10
years service. Lord Halsbury is ninety
years old, and although still vigorous,
cannot be expected to continue long
on the pension roll. Lord Loreburn
held office for seven years and has
been retired a little more than three
years, so that he ha been paid S475,000
He is So years old. Lord Haldane was
in office two years and has drawn pen
sion something more than year He
is just under sixty years of age.
Lord Buckmaster has sat on the
woolsack in the house of lords little
more than one year. Current gossip
among politicians has it that he is
keeping the woolsack warm for Mr.
Asquith, who, according to belief will
succeed thereto when the war has end
ed A prime minister who conducts
the cabinet through a great European
war, hardly could be grudged any re-
ward entailing dignity. ease and good
income. Lord Buckmaster is "a years

A bill 10 make the first Sunday In
June the time for the celebration Of
Memorial day instead Of May 80 was
introduced into the Indiana legislature
not long ago. It has been felt for some
time by members Of the Grand Army

Veterans that the celebration Of Me-
mortal day was marred BY the making
OF the day into time for sports and
games, thus losing sight Of the real
msaning Of the celebration. Several

Memorial day should be sacred to
the memory Of every patriot who has
served his country and has passed be-
yond. With such a significance az that
for the day 1t ought to be possible to
save It from extinction and make It
one Of the great moral strengthening

And even beyond that we might %

It might be finally crystallized into q
day Of remembrance Of the dead Of
the nation without regard to wars.
The mother might remember her blue

An Old Fashioned
Home Remedy

Many men and more women are
often ailing and poorly, without being
really sick. They feel mean and out
of sorts, restless and nervous, with
little appetite, weak stomach, and
maybe suffer from frequent sick
headaches and bilious attacks. In
other words. they are all rundown"
and need something that will build
them up. A good remedy for this
purpose is 81. F." Atwood's Medicine.
While not cure-all, it acts as gen.
eral tonic and conditioner, toning the
stomach, improving the appetite, puri-
flying the blood and stimulating the
liver. So thorough that it will bene-
fit the biggest man, and so safe that
it may be taken by the weakest

Make Farm Home Attractive.

In the design and construction OF the
farmhouse the question of utility alone
should not be the determining factor.
The flrst thought should be the making
of home. The amount Of money to be
invested in the building of the home
should not be determined by its relation
In size to the balance of the plant, nor
by the amount that is necessary merely
to provide shelter, but the amount to
be invested should be that which the
owner may reasonably afford without
financially crippling himself too severely.
The average city dweller In buying q
house for home does not proceed sole
ly on the basis of what he can expect to
secure In case It is ever desirable to
place the house on the market. he is
not likely to consider the purchase of q
home as financial investment but as q
social one, which will enable him to GO
cure for his family the comforts and
conveniences that he could not secure In
rented house, and to have for his fam
ily genuine home, genuine home life.
n he 10 able when the time arrives to
dispose of his property to financial ad-
vantage, we'll and good; If not, he con-
siders, and properly 30, that he made q
good investment from the social side.
There is no panacea that will cure the
yearning for city life evidenced by the
country boys and girls of to-day, but
there are certain conditions, which, II
established, will add materially to the
attractiveness of life In the country, and
should therefore prevent them from
flocking TO tho cities merely to avoid life
on the farm. It 10 not to be expected
that every person reared on farm will
desire to follow farming as life work,
nor Is It necessarily desirable that they
should do so. Many of the boys will
feel calling to one or another of the
professions, and It 10 probable that II al
lowed to follow their bent they will be
far more successful and coutented than
II overpsrsuaded to stay with the farm.
The problem is not to force the boy or
girl to remain on the farm, but TO assist
them iu every way in making an intelli-
gent choice. Their choice can not possi-
bly, be Intelligent unless they are famil-
lar with farm life under Its best condi-

'The time has come when the law

OF the dead at Gettysburg, greatest
battle Of the civil war, that were iden-
titled and buried In the National ceme-
terry over one-third were New York
soldiers. OF the wounded officers and

and In the total losses, including pris-

credit Of New York. All Of the New
York troops on the field were not
brought into the bloodiest encounters,
but In the ranks that were hotly en-
gagged the Empire State had large
quota. In the National cemetery there
are S67 New York graves, the highest
record Of any state. The three highest
following are Pennsylvania, Massachu-

the three together number 868.

Pause Once a Year

When men die In battle In
defense Of their homes or for
principles which they wish to
leave as q heritage to their
- children, the next generation
- would be ungrateful indeed II
- they could not pause at least
- once a year TO remember the
- devotion of the heroic dead
- and, II possible, give thanks
- for the example Of their vir-
~ tues, shed tear for their
. loss and offer q prayer for the
. forgiveness Of their frailtes.
. In some countries there Is
superstition that tears are
emcacious In procuring rest
and pardon for the dead. In
the funeral grafton Of st. Am
- brosius 1t Is said: "The poor
- also shed their tears, precious
- and fruitful tears, that wash
- ed away the sins Of the de-
~ ceased. They let floods Of re-
- deeming tears"
N On the other hand, It Is said
. to be sin to weep for the
!. dead after the grass has
grown over their graves, for
every~tear Is said to bring a
pang to them, and excessive
grieving for them holds them
- to the earth atmosphere and
- keeps them from the rest Of
- heaven.

- look upon graveyards as

N neve that they are peopled
