BETTER SALARIES.

w IlOpS lllC SOiioIoi oiio WIN AsSP
resentatives from this county will
lend their support to the proposed
law to increase the salaries of state
officials, executive and judiciary.
The people of the state do not eX-
pect the elective officers of the peo-
pie to serve without adequate pay,
and it is a mistaken policy to re-
quire them to do so.
We are not among those who be-
Iieve that the salaries for men who
serve the state should be above what
a man may make in the ordinary
pursuits of life, but we do believe
that the pay should be adequate to
enable a man who holds one of these
Offices to live and support his fam
lily and educate his children. He
cannot do that on the meagre salary
now paid by the state.
The suggestion that the time has
arrived when only rich men may
hold office has foundation in the facts
of the case. A man who runs for
Governor of the state, and who
spends several hundred dollars MAX
ing. campaign which is forced upon
him, and who is paid by the state
a salary insufficient to meet the nec-
sssary requirements Of occupying
the Office, must have money laid
aside. He must be a rich man. The
same Is true of the men who serve
the state in other executive offices.
On the bench a salary Of three
thousand dollars is paid to a circuit
judge, with an allowance of five hun
dred dollars for travelling expenses.
It costs circuit Judge, according to
our information. one thousand dol
lars to make the annual trip around
the state. The result is that he is
left with twenty-five hundred dol
bars with which to support his family,
educate his children, if he has child
rem, and pay the numerous demands
which are made on a man in his posi-
tion. He cannot do so without he
has money already, or unless he is
willing to deprive the members Of his
family Of the things which are theirs
by right.
Therefore, we say that the law
increasing the salaries of all these
officials should be passed so as to
become payable to the state officials
who are now about to assume the
duties of office.
And in order that the judges may
net bs debarred from receiving the
benefits of such a law (the copstitu-
ton prohibiting an increase in the
salary Of any official during his
term Of office,) the legislature should
request the judges to resign in a
body and then re-elect them for the
unexpired terms.
The state can suffer nothing from
doing the right thing. Every thought
full man knows that this is right.

U. S. AND BRITAIN'S VOTE
President Explains League Issue;
America Always Deciding
Factor

Oakland, CAL. Sept. 19.-Fatlguec
bnt satisfied with the results Of two
hectic days here and in San Fran
cisco, President Wilson last night
was on his way to Southern Cali
fornia.
The President made two set
speeches today-one to the leading
business men of San Francisco and
another to mixed audience at the
Oakland auditorium last night. His
audiences were friendly in both
places.
Earlier in the day the President
met and answered five questions
addressed to him by the regional
executive committee of the League
to Enforce Peace. Their chief
queries hinged on Great Brtam's
six votes and Irish freedom.
The President also took" occasion
to answer fully the Shantung argu-
ment.
Britain cannot outvotc the United
States in the league, the President
declared, nor under the covenant
can foreign governments order
American troops abroad. Article X
does not bind America to aid Great
Britain in suppressing a revolt in
Ireland. he told his interrogatorS,
and under Article N there would
be created new forum for the
settlement of questions of sclf-de-
termination such as Ireland
Six votes were assigned to self
governing portions of the British
Empire, the President said. because
each in effect, in all but foreign
policies, becomes an autonomous
self governing state and practically
independent of the British govern
ment; in many cases diss!mii:;r from
it.
1t is not true that Britain can
outvote the United States IN the
league of nations, the President as
serted. because no action can be
taken without the concurrence o1
vote of the representa-
tives of the states which are mem
ncrs sof ule council. So that y. a!
of action the affirma-'t"
vote af the United States is Eeccs-
ssry and equivalent to the urfea
vote of the british Empire.

place on Tuesday. Accounts reaching
here from Martinsville, the county

discharge of two wcaves the week

they would compel the remainder OF
the force to join them, and threats
were made as to cutting OFF the
power from the mill!
Sheriff Hensley collected deputies
and took them in automobiles to the
scene. The presence of these Off
GERS discouraged the carrying out of
any threats and the strike slowly
crumbled Many of the workers re-
