The Charleston News and Courier says: "In supporting the position taken by Mr. Grosvenor on the Hard wick amendment, -Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, said that the salary of the President is not at all commensurate with the position he occupies. That Is true, as things go nowadays, but why not raise his salary? That would be Impossible during his present term under the Constitution, but It might be done by increasing the appropriat tlons for the support of the executive establishment. There would be no great objection to making these appro priations all that the necessities of the case would appear to Justify; but the several purposes for which the ap propriations are to be used ought to be clearly set forth. Give Mrs. Roose velt as many secretaries as the terri bly onerous duties of her position re quire, but let it be stated openly and frankly for what the money Is to be used. That Is the business of Con gress, and Congress ought to attend to it” the future of the horse. We were to enter the “horseless” era. The horse censuses taken by the Department of Agriculture fail to verify the predic tion that the horfe is disappearing. It Is impossible to say how many horses our vehicular Inventions have displaced, but the figures ^Bhow that the number of horses has been IncreaB- lng In proportion to the population. There has been a striking Increase In the value of horses exported. Horses now command higher prices than they have at any other period during the past fifteen years, with the exception of the year 1902.
