Congress has finally passed the bill increasing the salaries of senators and representatives from $5,000 a year (the present figure) to $7,500 a year. Besides, the salaries of the vice president, speaker and members of president’s cabinet are lifted from SB,OOO a year (the present amount) to $12,000 a year. The bill takes effect March 4 of this year, from which date the new salaries will be paid. One of the chief reasons urged for the passage of this law was that the cost of living has increased so much that higher salaries were necessary. Congress is well aware that the higher cost of living also troubles the people who pay the taxes. Congress knows that the infamous Dingley tariff and the specially favored trusts and combines are largely responsible for this condition. But instead of reforming the tariff and taking steps to stop the extortions of the trust, Congress provides for Itself hy raising the pay of its members. In other words, Congress bountifully looks after itself, the vice president, the speaker and the members of the cabinet, but will do nothing for the hard-working masses. ■ Congress will vote subsidies out of the I. nited States treasury to Harriman, Hill, Morgan, Spreckles and other men of their class, but not a thing will it do for the people. President Roosevelt will be delighted to sign the salary grab bill the subsidy graft bill and all other bills that provide for spending the people's money.

Louis Ludlow says in his Washington correspondence: "The ’.hree Dem ocratic cohgressmen-elect from Indiana —William Elijah Cox of the Third district, J. A. M. Adair of the Eighth district and George Rauch of the Eleventh district —have arranged to come together jo,. next month and will spend‘a or ten days here ‘learning the ropes' under the tutelage of Representative Lincoln Dixon. They will begin to draw pay March 4 at the rate of $7,500 per year. They feel as if they want to get in trim to earn the monpy. Capt. Mihm and his faithful Ameri can Salvation Army workers have done great good in this city, and have won the admiration of all Christian people.

YOUR TURN MAY SOON COME Better Treat Others as You Would be Treated. Every time the closet of your neighbor is opened do you stretch your neck to peep and then afterward strain your tongue to talk about it? Do you ever stop to think that some day a tragedy may take up its abode in your home? Can’t you get in your head that some day the tongue of slander may cut you like a sword and the whispers of your neighbor be as vinegar on your wounds? Misfortune and disgrace may have overtaken your neighbor, but it does not become you to get on the housetops and shout it to the world. You will not be called upon to answer for any of the sins of your neighbors. You have all you can do to pay for your own discretions. Some day one near and dear to you may fall —the prison walls may open to a son or the scarlet of eternity blight a daughter. When a home is in mourning over tragedy, the best thing you can do is to keep your mouth shut unless you can say something that'" will come as a rift in the clouds. Then again you know that you may be no better than your neighbor; the only difference is that your neighbor was caught, and you, up-to-date, have kept the sunlight away. Be charitable, for you know not what day nor what hour the blight will appear in your sacred circle.

The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year; the small boy can’t go swimming now, his life is stale and drear. Heaped in the hollows of his head are thoughts of outdoor joys that rustle with the school book leaves and tempt him to make noise. His ball and bat are laid aside, his face is washed and clean; he stays in school five hours a day and feels almighty mean. The crown of all his sorrows comes when older folks relate the happiest days of all one’s life are days with book and slate. He reads how Franklin ran away and much does contemplate that Ben's old act himself ere long will surely imitate. But when he gets home after school and finally and mother tucks the quilts around and sings to “Sleepy Head,” he visits then the land of dreams amid air castles tall, and finds his folks in every one of which he dreams this fall. And sonny gets up in the morn all full of life and mirth to eat the biscuits mother made, for she's the best on earth. —Waterville Morning Sentinel.
