The Newlands Law.
The Newlands law, an amendment to the Erdman law has been
signed by the President. This is the law which is' to dispose of
the difficulties existing between the railroad companies and the rail-
road men. Icis devoutely hoped that the objectin view will be ac-
complished, but this law in its application has the appearance of al
law made to fit a particular case and that is not according to the
broad idea of equity.
The Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine promulgated by the Americrn government
many years ago has frequently given the nations of the old world
cansiderable trouble. The latest in the situation of Mexico, where |
the Huerta government has not been officially recognized by the
government at Washington while some of the nations of the world
have recognized Huerta as the lawful ruler of Mexico. The gov-|
ernment has not yet changed its policy with reference to the Monroe |
Doctrine. The government has no objection when foreign countries
compel her to pay her legitimate debts, and this means no surren-
der of the principle for which our government has stood for many
years.

Public Officials and Their Salaries.
There has been caused considerable commotion because Zoerel]
tary Bryan has been delivering lectures for pay while he is sup-|
posed to give his entire service to the government. There are al
good many people in this country who have been in the habit of | Sonn passed away too quickly. jy
Ir.
criticising Bryan for the last seventeen years and yet the country
has not lost faith in him. But at the same time his service and his
time belong to his country, and now comes the question, Does he
not receive sufficient salary for his services ? Does he receive a
sufficient sum to live as a man in his position ought to live ? They
tell us that the men representing our country at the fogeign capi-
tals do not receive enough to meet their expenses, and that only a
wealthy man who hasa big income besides his salary can fittingly
represent this nation at a foreign court. If such is the case it is
too bad that our great nation does not give her servants a decent
living, and the same, they say, holds true in the cabinet. - Above
all, the nation should give her servants sufficient to live according
to the station which they occupy.
It is humiliating to learn that the first mén of the nation have
to go on the lecture platform to help earn a livelihood so that they
can give their time to the affairs of the government. Of course
we may deplore the high costof living and the heavy demands made
on our prominent citizens, but that does not help matters. Our
“public men should have an income sufficient to meet their needs, and
if that is actually the case with Bryan, instead of criticising him he
should be lauded for making the great sacrifice, of serving his
country at great personal loss.
The nation has a right to expect the best from her officials, but
ghe ought to-give them a living corresponding to their station and
their requirements. & Of course most people cannot understand how
some people must have from a hundred to a thousand dollars a week
for decent living, while the great hosts of families get along with
from ten:to twenty-five dollars a week, but then one half the world
does not knew how the other half lives.

Well, he abused a good many people and now the cooks are turning |
