A Better Salary and a Longer
Term.
From the Savannah News.
For a good many yea.rs the
question of increasing the sal¬
aries of the judges of the Supe¬
rior Court has been under dis¬
cussion, and the stronger argu¬
ment has a’ways been in favor
of an increase. There is no doubt
that 82,000 is a small salary for
a judge of so important a court
as the Superior -Court, and that
83,000 but poorly pays the judges
of the Supreme Court.
We do not know that the
judges would render the state
any bettei service if they were
better paid because they do the
best they can now, but by in¬
creasing their pay the state
would be doing a simple act of
justice. The State Bar Associa¬
tion has just recommended tint
the salaries of the Supreme
Court judges be increased to
84,000, and those of the Superior
Court judges to $3,000. The Leg¬
islate re ought to act favorably on
the recommendation. Surely
the time has come when the state
can afford to pay its judges living
salaries.
It may be said that the posi¬
tions are sought at the present
salaries. That may be true, but
it doesn’t follow that the judges
get what they ought to have. The
salaries were ffxed at a time when
the state was very poor. She
isn’t rich yet, but she is
enough to treat her judges more
liberally.
We understand, of course, that
there is an increase in appropri
ations all along the line, but there
are some things proposed in
pending bills which call for mon¬
ey that can wait a while. For
instance, there is no reason why
veterans with comfortable in¬
comes should be given pensions.
The State Bar Association also
proposes that the terms of the
judges of the Superior Court be
made six years. They are now
four. The proposition is a good
one. Some irregularities in the
last primary brought out consid¬
erable condemnation of the prac¬
tice 0 ,. “scrambling for the
judgeships” and of
the ermine in the political mire-”
Is there any way wholly
from politics of choosing judges?

If not, wouldn’t it be advisable
to give the present method of
choosing them a further trial, in
the meantime lengthening the
term to six years?
Soraeti me ago, when some of the
papers of the state were calling
for a change in the method of
choosing the judges, we called
attention to the fact th it the
present method was adopted be¬
cause the people had lost confi¬
dence in other methods. Why
go back to the old methods be
fore fully testing the present
one? Pay the judges better and
lengthen their term before
changing the method of choosing
them and see what the result will
be.
“DO IT TO-DAY.”
The time-worn injunction, “Never put
off ’til tomorrow what you can do today,”
is now generally presented in this form:
“Do it‘to-day!” That is the terse ad¬
vice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for sev¬
eral days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it to-day— and let
that remedy be Dr. Boschoe’s German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty-five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
atid its continued use for a few days will
curt: you completely. No matter how
deep-seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect a cure—
as it lias done before in thousands of ap¬
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

| A Chicago professor is quoted
as saying. “The large per cent
of the men who will control
the destinies of the country in
the futuie will come from the
ranks of the newsboys rather than
from the boulevards.” And there
is doubtless a good deal in the
idea. Many of the successful
men of the times began life on the
streets. ThimasA. Edison was
a newsboy. Andrew Carnegie
was a messenger.

When the Time Wifi Come.
The Albany (N. Y.) T mes
Cnion wants to know when and
where it w ill end, this tendency
toward monopo'y that se?ms to
be asserting itself with broader
scope and greater strength every
y»ar. Already Rockefeller and
his pals control the oil business,
the steel and iron industries, the
great lakes, and in a large meas¬
ure the land, transportation lines,
the gas plants, the linseed oil
works, the harvesting machinery
factories, and the copper mines,
and now it is rumored that they
propose to take over other lines
of profitable industry. Coal, an¬
other great natural source of
wealth provided by God for man’s
use, is largely controled by a few
men, more or less allied with the
powers that direct the trusts re¬
ferred to. Sugar is also known
to be in the hands of a few others.
No wonder the Times-Union says
that thinking people are asking
when this monopolization of the
great industries of a great na¬
tion is to end, whether a few men
shall constitute a power greater
than that ot the government of
all the people.
The Times-Union does not pre¬
sume to answer its own questions
save by the general statement
that the reaction will come with a
tendency to “peopleize” , thi in¬
dustries of the land, to restore
things to a natural condition, and,
in all likelyhood, compel restitu¬
tion. It should go further and
say that that time can only come
through the instrumentality of
the Democratic paily, the peo*
pie’s party. As long as the Re¬
publican party remains in power
Rockefeller & Co. will continue a
power superior to the laws of the
land, supeiior to the rights of the
individual, superior to the rights
of the masses, dictating legisla¬
tion, controlling executive action,
regulating the fiscal policy, in
everything moving the govern¬
ment in such a v»ay as will Lest
promote their own selfish aims
and financial interests.
Monopolization will end only
when a thoroughly Democratic
administration is in control at
Washington. Then the day of
reckoning for illegal combina¬
tions, the hour ot punishment for
past crimes and misdeeds, may
arrive. But, assuredly, not be
fore.
Safeguard the Children,
Notwithstanding all that, is done by
boards of health and charitably inclined
persons, the death rate among small chil¬
dren is very high during the hot weath¬
er of the summer months in the large
cities. There is not probably one ease of
bowel complaint in a hundred, however,
that coukl not be cured by- the timely
use of Chamberlain’s Colie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. For sale by Lewis

A warm fight will be made for
high schools in the state at the
present session of the General
Assembly. Already a measure is
pending in the Senate providing
for a high school in each con¬
gressional district of the state,
but friends of the schools have
secured the consent of Senator
Harvie Jordon, author of the
measure, to amend the bill by
providing for ahigh school in each
county instead of each congres¬
sional district and appropriating
sc much money to such a school
each year, provided the county
in which the school is located
will agree to maintain it. State
School Commissioner Merritt is
greatly interested in the measure,
as are many leading educators in
the state. The bill will come up
for passage in a few days.—Ga¬
