Most Shining Target. The office of Lord Chancellor e most shining target for attack hat office is now costing the gov- mment $125,000 a year. It com- ands o salary of $50,000 and a pen- on of $25,000. Lord Buckmaster is awing the salary, and three living edecessors, .Lords Halsbury, Lore- rn and Haldane are receiving pen- lons. Lord Halsbury held the office for n years and has been retired for M years. Consequently he has drawn ree quarters of a million dollars for N years services. Lord Halsbury nety years old, and although gorous cannot be expected to con- nue long on the pension rool.

A bill was Pt through the legislature last spring, requiring the examination of all iR- mates of almhouses at least once e¥- ery six months and removal to stdfle institutions of all insane and feebf- minded persons found there. This.is the first step towards removing these helpless sick and defectlve persons te suitable ; surroundings The survey of the feeble-minded in one city last winter produces valuable information which was effective in se- curing appropriations for greater ac commodation for these defective Even with this additional provision, the state will be taking care of only about 25 per cent. of these subndr- mal people who require protection for their own sakes and for the sake of the community.
