Pastors and Salaries.

"According to Rev. DR.. Lorimer
of Boston, many Baptist clergymen
get less pay than do street-cleaners.
The average salary for Baptist min.
listers is only 5000 Il year."
This item, now going the rounds
of the press, is merely Il sample of
the sort of thing that is printed just
about every week in the year, the
name of the denomination being
changed from week to week.
The Inference sought to be drawn
is that the ministers are paid too lit
tie and that something ought to he
done to raise their salaries.
But it seems to us that the thing
actually proved is taat there are too
many churches.
Thus, taking the tisrt five towns
named in Walton's Vermont Regis
ter, we find the following condi-
tons: Addison, population S5I,
two churches; Albany, population
1923, five churches; Alburg, popu-
lation I474, five churches; 4Andover.
population S72, two churches;
Arlington, population 1893, five
churches.
This is an average OF one church
to every 25S of the population, men,
women and children, and it requires
no argument to prove first that the
churches are an enormous tax on the
communities and second that the
majority of them must be struggling
affairs, barely able to keep their
noses above water.
AS business proposition, the
multiplication of churches doesn't
pay.-Burlington News.

1t is intimatcd by the forces back
ing the administration that every.
thing must make way for the Hanna
ship subsidy bill--a measure that
looks like big piece Of jobbery and
probably is one. There is Il suspi-
cion that it is intended primarily to
pay campaign debts-not entirely
because Senator Hanna is pushing
the bill, but because its effect will
be toput millions of dollars into the
hands of special interests to which
the Republican party is indebted
the Standard Oil company for one.
The bill has been side-tucked by
the Senate, but if Senator Hanna
runs the government-and perhaps
he docs-~an extra session of con-
grcss will be called and this liberal
measure for campaign contributors
he put through at any cost.
The gulf stream Il mvth--will SCI
encc and discovery ever stop making
a mass of misinformation of our old
school books and the patient lessons
learned years ago. The rule OF three
still holds good, but OF the wonders
of the earth us told bv the older text
books there are not many left. Big
ger mountains and bigger rivers have
appeared and disappeared; and now
the "first class in geography" learns
with surprise that the vcnerated gulf
stream doesn't do much, after all,
toward warming mp northwestern
Europe. But the gulf stream is not
altogether myth, AS an article re-
viving the subject says:
"For several hundred miles the
guilt stream is Il real current. The
steady trade winds from the north
east pile up the waters of the middle
Atlantic in the western part OF the
Caribbean sea. From there they es.
cape south of Cuba by the NEcatan
channel into the Cult Of Mexico,
where they pile up again until the
western level of the gulf is foot
above that of the Atlautic. This
heavy head forces out stream with
tremendous pressure through the

Biographies that are supposedly
up to date, in use in our schools to-
day, still say that the gulf stream
makes Hammerfest, within the Arc.

And Boston has spells of fairly tenn
perate weather. The mild climate
of northwestern Europe is explained
in other ways-''in the prevailing
drift of air currents eastward and
northward from the temperate zones
of the Atlantic-but it may be years
before the older theory is generally
given up.

ssOur company of cavalry was OH
detached service, and our horses had
been we'll cared for. They were also
under good discipline. When the
Indians tried to drive Lerd of baf-
falo through our camp with purpose
to stampede our horses, they failed
Then they made furious charge, in
tending to run us down after our
first volley, and before we could reload
but they had never before met with
such an experience as awaited them
Our first volley was followed quickly
by another and another, and tho
Indians retreated in panic.
t'They rallied for a consultation on
little hill about a half mile away
Then they formed in solid phalanx
about six deep representing Il front
down upon us, shaking their shields
and lances, and yelling only Com
anches can yell. They rode the half
mile in incredibly short space of
time, and our first and second volleys
seemed to have no effect upon them
A third volley delivered almost in the
eyes of the front ranks, brought them
to halt, and they swept away again,
leaving their dead behind.
tsAmong the dead was n chief who
had fallen from a magDificently cap
arisonea gray horse While our men
stood with eyes fixed on the havoc
they had made, single Indian left
the retreating column, and rode like
the wind straight toward us. AS he
neared the dead chief the rider
stopped his horse, turned a somer-
sault over the horses head, and
reaching the ground, ran hastily
with lariat in hand to the body of
the chief, put the lariat around the
the body under the arms, then re-
mounted his horse, and started for
the column of retreating Indians,
drawing the dead chief after him.
ssThe rider was a boy not more
than II or 13 years old. and the
plain inference was that he had at
the risk of his life come back to carry
off the body of his father The whole
scene was played within less than
fifty yards of score of men who
had few minutes before fired the
shot that killed the old chief, an d yet
not a single shot was fired at the boy.
Whether it w as amazement at his aIl-
dacity or admiration of his courage
or sympathy for him in his effort to
save the body of his father from the
enemy, not a man pressed trigger
saw a good many brave things done
in the civil war. but I saw no act of
an individual that had as many e1e-
ments of heroism in it as that of this

Weu1d Save the Arkansas River.

Referring to a late editorial in the
Eagle, commenting on the action of the
Attorney General in dropping the suit
which was to have been instituted by
him in the name of the people of Kansas,
against the ditch corporations and others
of Colorado. who have been systemati-
cally stealing the waters of our river,
George II. Maxwell, of Chicago. execu-
tive chairman of the National Irrigation
association, writes letter. 1t Will be
re emembered, by those participating. at
least, that Mr. Maxwell delivered an adj
dress before the Trans Mississippi con
gress at Wichita on the possibility of the
creation of inland empire out OF the
lands of the plains by irrigation. The
address very able one, being filled
with the facts of experience and figures
of experiment, all going to prove that By
the s'magic touch of water'' the vast sub
arid regions of the west might be made
the most delightful and profitable of all
the agricultural areas of the American
continent. Mr. Maxwell evidently re-
grets and disapproves the spirit of the
Eagles editorial which was entitled
Another Vhack at the Arkansas Val
ley" While we favor Mr.. Maxwen's s
position as to irrigation. and stand ready
to encourage every effort looking to sys-
tematic government supervision, still in
the meantime the people of this Lower
Valley cannot afford to take the chances
of waiting for the federal government to
take up the enterprise of redeeming by
irrigation the arid regions referred to,
nor yet permit speculative ditch projec-
tors and land owners to in the meantime
rob of the water which makes the
deserts of eastern Colorado blossom at
the expense of the Kansas farmer who
holds unquestionable prior rights, In the
course Of his letter, Mr.. Maxwell says:
