PAY BETTER SALARIES.

President Roosevelt left the White
House poorer than when he went in
Doubtless most of the governors Of Mis-
sOuri have left Jefferson City the poorer
for their experience. The members Of
the General Assembly are paid little more
than enough to cover their expenses while
in Jefferson City, and even that only if
they live economically.
Ii is almost essential that the Office
holder hsve some outside income. If
he has this from some independent source
it is fortunate for him. If he has not.
he may have 10 neglect his work as Of
Gce-holder trying to make lends meet. -
II is far from true that there are no
big men in the government service, but
those that are in it are there from
sense Of duty and public service and not
because it is remunerative work. When
a corporation lawyer gets more than the
President of the United States, when
a federal judge finds that he can receive
more salary as the boss Of baseball than
he can as judge, it is evident that We
need to make Offices more remuneratiye.
The spirit Of public duty, VIII h mani.
fesis itself in our best ofice-holders, is
an admirable spirit, but we need method
by which the best minds can be put into
public Office without consequent losses
Of money 10 them.
