Should Pay More.
The grand jury calls attention
. in their ' Final Presentment'' to
the fact that while the responsibility
of the ofliee of County
Superintendent of education has
increased more than three-fold
within the past decade, the salary
of that official has remained
^ stationary. The pittance paid the
official intrusted with the super-,
vision of our schools is wholly
incommensurate with tiie duties
imposed upon him, and no capable
man, unless he were able to
give his services out of pure philanthropy,
could afford to hold

attention. These times of expensive
living the salary paid the
Sujxjrintendent of Education would
' ? l)e inadequate to support a single
man, much less a man .with a,
family.

the grand jury's recommendation
that the salary be raised, and
the holder of the office be reft

JUSTICE J. M. HARLAN DEAD.
1 ????
Oldest Member U. S. Supreme
Court Passed Suddenly Away.
Washington, October 14.?Associate
Justice John M. Harlan, oldest
member of the Supreme Court of
the United States, for years conspicuous
in Kentucky politics, once candidate
for the Republican nomination
for Vice President of the United
States, a foremost constitutional
authority and prominent in the
councils of the Presbyterian church,
died at his home in this city today.
He was seventy-eight years old last
June.
Justice Harlan had been ill with
acute bronchitis less than a week.
He sat on the bench last Monday
when the court heard arguments on
the so-called anthracite coal trust
case. The following morning Chief
Justice White announced that Justice
Harlan was "slightly ill" and
yesterday .asked attorneys to consider
that Justice Harlan was sitting
in their cases, although not physically
present.
Justice Harlan, however, was in a
much more serious condition than
his colleagues in the court realized.
Despite his advanced age. he was
robust and ordinarily enjoyed the
best of health. He was rarely
absent from the bench, an attack of
influenza a few years ago being al
