:, SALARY QUESTION: ARISES.
Franklin County Boosts Engineer,
Pay-Nsslsets Superintendent.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Feb. 27.-At a Yecen,
meeting of the county board Of super
visors II was made a record that the
county engineer be paid S1s5 pei
month with an allowance Of IL cents
per mile for auto hire. A comparison
of this figure with the amount paid
the county superintendent. $3.50 pei
month, and taking into consideration
the importance of the work for the
schools Of the county, seems to indi-
cate that the educational interests
OF the county are somewhat under
valued. There Is no disputing the
fact that the Affairs OF. no office IN
the court house are better attended
to. than are those Of the superin-
endent's Office. ~ y
The, county engineer has four as
sistants. all of whom are seeking in
cIeases in salary. /.

INVENTOR MAKES WATER TALK

Aid to Navigators.

Katie" one of the most wonderful
inventions exhibited at the recent
shipping engineering exhibition in

valuable aid to sea captains and navi-
gators yet discovered. Katie" is the
gineer by which he makes water talk
1t is an automatic float, with a sen
sitive depth-finding mechanism con
nected telephonically, and is placed on
the surface of the water. Another del

gineer wants to know the depth of
water at particular spot he rings up
katie" on the phone and she tells
him the exact depth.
She speaks in soft, jerky buzzes in
the manner of the Morse CODE and
when she gets out of her depth she
shutters. If the current is too strong
she becomes speeches.. katie" will

nit to the commands of a dictator in
a matter where the authority under
the Constitution was theirs and not
his.
General Policy in Brief.
The senators performed their duty
faithfully. We approve their con-
duct and honor their courage and we
pledge the coming Republican adj
ministration to such agreement with
the other nations of the world as
shall meet the full duty of America
to civilization and humanity in ac-
cordance with American ideals AMI
without surrendering the right of the
American people to exercise its judg-
ment and its power in favor of jus
tice and peace.
Pointing to its history and relying
upon it's fundamental principles, we
declare that the Republican party has
the generous courage and construc-
tive ability to end executive usurpa-
ton and restore constitutional gov
eminent; to fulfill our world obliga-
tons without sacrificing our national
independence; to raise the national
standard of education, health and
general welfare; to re-establish a
peace-time administration and to
substitute economy and efficiency for
extravaganza and chaos; to restore
and maintain the national credit; TO
reform unequal and burdensome tax
es; to suppress disloyalty without de-
NAL of justice to repeat the arrogant
challenge of any class; and to main
tain a government of all the people
az contrasted with a government for
some of the people, and finally. to
allay unrest, suspicion and strife,
and to secure the cooperation and
unity of all citizens in the solution
Of the complex problems of the day,
to the end that our country, happy
and prosperous, proud of its past,
sure of itself and its institutions,
may look forward with confidence to
the future.

NATURE NEVER IN A HURRY
Taking Lesson From Wise Old Moth
or, Man viii Learn to Curb His
Foolish Impatience.

We sometimes get impatient Mt the
see the cruelties of great war. cruel
ties beyond belief. and we are sick at
heart to think the world Is not in a
mood overnight to abolish war. We
see ignorance leading to poverty and
Indebtedness and we wonder that ed
ucation Is not made universal at once.
We see preventable sickness produc
ing disability and suffering and we
are hopeless at the slow dissemination
of modern medical knowledge and pre-
ventive measures.
And then It Is borne In on us that
Nature never Is in hurry ont in
Colorado the Rocky mountains turn
n tumbling sea of peaks toward the
sky. Standing on the summit of Pixies
or Longs and looking off of that chaos
Of rock one naturally thinks some
frightfu convulsion of Nature threw
up these mighty peaks.
But that thought is wrong. Geolo
gists have learned that the mountain
ranges were slowly and imperceptibly
carved out by the action of rain and
snow and frost and ice. First the
highlands slowly emerged from the
ocean. Then the rains and streams
and glaciers made gulies and left the
peaks. An observer returning at cen
fury intervals probably would have
seen slight change. But eventually
the work was done and the mountains
made.
That Is the way Nature operates
Man can afford to curb his impotence.
