sire to live usefully and act nobly.
He has had distributed thousands of
copies of a letter ho wrote on the
subject for the benefit of the Sunday
school children throughout the
United States, citing the example of
Abraham Lincoln as a stimulus to
their patriotism. The President says
in this circular:
The excessive use of intoxicating
liquor is the cause of a great deal of
tho poverty, degradation and crime
of the world, and one who abstains
from tho use of such liquor avoids
a- dangerous temptation. Abraham
Lincoln showed that he believed this
In writing out for his boy friends

ten quoted. Each person must de
termine for "himself the course he
will take In reference to his tastes
and appetites, but thoso who exer
cise the self-restraint to avoid alto
gether tho temptation of alcoholic
liquor are on the safe and wiser side.

When Judge Searlo of Honesdale
closed tho door of his court against
boys who were anxious to hear tho
details of tho disgusting Howe case
a case from our county, and a case
that comprehends a criminal act, for
the commission of which tho scaf
fold or the electric chair ought to be
supplied he served the cause of
public morals and did the young
men a kindness for which they may
some day thank him. Judge Searle
might have gone farther and ex
cluded from tho trial some old men
who fought their way to points of
vantage that they might hear every
scrap and scintilla of the salacious
evidence. 1 was glad to learn that
a tipstaff moved one gray head who
persisted in getting so close to the
witness stand that he sneaked with-!
in the bar enclosure. The unfortun
ate plaintiff ought to be pitied in
the presence of so many coarse eyes
and vulgar ears, as she viewed the
morbid loafers who would be in
their element at an orgy such as rot
ten Corinth saw or Rome in Its de
cadence. A man ought to feel
ashamed of his sex as he contemp
lates a picture of two or three hun
dred men, crowding and trampling
each other, to get a chance to drink
with putrid zest the story of a hap
less girl's ruin who, after all, pays
the severest penalty in her sobs and
tears and heartaches. Shame on the
man whose prurient morbidness
makes him vassal to tho lowest con
ceits In his man-nature. From
"Personal and Pertinent" in Satur
day's Carbondale Leader.

pending upon fees for their com
pensations if a bill which Represen
tative Bentley of Washington coun
ty Introduced February 6 shall be
come a law; the measure requires
that the salaries shall be earned in
fees, and the surplus must go into
the county funds. If tho fees do
not amount to enough to pay such
salary as is fixed by this measure,
then the official must accept such a '
sum as is collected from the fees less I
payment of his deputies and clerks.
This proposed bill will change the ,
pay system In GO counties or all those
having less than 1GO.O0O population,
according to tho Susquehanna Led
ger, and above that figure eleven

system. Tho salary payment Is to be
monthly and each official will be
limited each month to what remains
after his under-clerks and deputies
are paid. County Commissioners and
County Auditors fix tho number and
salary of all clerks or deputies.
This new schedule of salaries is
to stand regardless of an increase or
decrease in population, until chang
ed by Legislature. It will take ef
fect when the terms of the present
county officials expires.

be listed in counties having more
than 25,000 population and less
than 50,000 of which there aro six

be fixed as follows:
