A living sal ary should be paid. We do not believe in niggardliness. We do not believe in being narrrow and stingy in things of progress and acts of charity. A generous hand should always be extended the poor and needy and material help given them in every in stance and no hesitation about it when proven worthy, even if a sacrifice has to be made in some other way. And narrow mindedness and false economy should not stand in the way of beneficial advancement even if bonds have to be issued and debt incurred. No man would com plain of such indebtedness, when made for the benefit of mankind all the people and in the name of progress and advanced civili zation. Let us have living sal aries, but not sinecures, econom ical but not stingy ; patch the big holes first then look for the little leaks. And let every one do his part, controlled by paoriotism governed by public feeling and guided by prudence and econ omy. and each officer should be made to know and feel, that lie isdi rectly and wholly responsible to the people whose will he must serve and to whom ,he 'must ac count. Then he would be care ful of their interest, zal6usof executing their wishes and un der obligations to the people and not to one man, one set of men, nor to the boss or bosses, ma chine or faction. The numer ous petty offices would cease to be cogs in the so-called political ma chine and the right arm of the bosses would be amputated; for henchmen would have to look to the people for approval and not any particular one or ones. When a man has the appointing power it is human nature that he should appoint his friends. He would be a sorry man did he not, and did he not remember them. And it is also human na: tur e for these friends to show their gratitude and feel a sense of obligation to the one or ones having the appointive power and doing the appointing Hence you see how it works. How a machine can be created and now men can become bosses and de velop political power and influ ence. This is the principle that moved Wilson and the reason he would not acoept contributions from corporations and monied interests for his campaign. He didn t'want to:be .under any. ob ligations to such influences. He wanted to be under obligations to the people, wholly, therefore his managers sought popular contributions from all the people. We commend the increase in the pay of regular jurors from $1,50 to $2.00 2l day, caused by Representative Britton. It is not too much by any means and should have been done long ago. Saving from 4 to $30,000 1;V;A'tein in the Leg- islature tp Squire county officers to make, an h annual report of thralaiiiAi salary . basis: would be much better than this; Another matter that effects the people and the body politic, most vitally, is . the popular e lection' of all officers, that is, the election of all officers, from the lowest to the Highest, by the Tote of the people the abolition of; the f jappointiye power; ; the wresting of the power bf the few to the will of. the many the people, In other words let ting the people rule, and having a government truly by the peo ple, for the , people and of the people; s , Thffilisfaqylill is the xwrneftbneipf atrepul)li can form Of (rovenmienti Tfte If you favor any measure or suggested law for the county, write your Representative and tell him what you think about it.v Now is the time to express your self. It matters not whether you are a big farmer or a little farmer, a rich one or poor one, he would be glad to hear from you and see you. express your sentiment. He would like' to hear from all. Now is the time. Don't wait until the Legislature adjourns. Mr. Britton is there to serve all the people. Don't you think the fellow who is opposed to any measure is nor going, to write for he will. He has a right to do so. You dp the same. . ' Itears From Reprie. Britton Mr. Editor : You 'ask if I f a rY putting YalHtKe officers of Bertie county bn a ' salary, basis?
