Deterrents From the Ministry.

Nowadays we reduce everything to a.
commercial basis-well, not quite every
thing, but certainly many things that
were once on no such basis. 1t used to be
assumed that there was an eternal con-
ffict between riches and religion, and the
religious life was supposed to be essen
italy a poverty stricken life. But now
we hear the argument that religion is de-
cadent because there IS nothing in it,
for men Of ability, meaning not religion
itself by cit but the Offices OF religion.
From every church in The, country, un-
less It be the Catholic, which always mani
ages to provide for the worldly wants of
its priests and other servants, there rises
a cry that there are not enough good men
entering the ministry. The boys stay
away from the theological schools, be-
cause no matter how much inclined they
may be to enter the ministry they are too
human, too modern to enter upon a ca
reer that holds out a promise Of $500 a
year II they can get it out Of the church
officials by persistent begging. If the son
OF a prosperous father expresses a wish to
enter the ministry every effort is made tc
dissuade him. +
The Episcopal church probably pays Its
ministers better than any other in the
United States. yet even among them the
average is 5000 year, and the highest
salaryis SIS, 900 paid to the rector of Trim.

York was published and the number Of

year was amazing. OF course
house rent is Is usually paid 70,
aside from the salary, but even 1T that the
incomes are pitiful for men Of abil

expected to be good citizens, take ar

/ their leaders. but they insist on havin,
young or vigorous middle -aged men. N,

i strange to find that even ministers ar
urging their young friends not to ente

Opportunities for Iife.Savinr.

When we begin to set some value on
human life In this country we shall
be able greatly to reduce the number
Of accidental deaths and injuries yearly
that come to those who work on our rail-
ways, toll In our mines and keep turning
the wheels Of the multitundious industries
Of the nation.
II 1t had not been for q law Of congress
regarding the use Of safety coupling ap-
planes, the railways would be killing and
manning their employees to-day just as
rapidly as they were ten years ago. In
1898, according to the recent report Of the
Interstate commerce commission, 433 men
were killed and 1929 injured in coupling
accidents. In 1902, after practically all the
cars In the United States had been fitted
with automatic coupling devices, only IA
men were killed and 2,11s injured in
coupling and uncoupling cars and this In
spite Of the fact that the number of mer
employed in 1902 was much larger than i1
1898.
Many Of the accidents that are still en-.
countered ore due to imperfect couplers
and the failure to introduce the perfect
uncoupling device, which is as much re-
! quired by the law as q perfect coupler.
If congress had not compelled the intro
| duction Of automatic couplers we may
| safely conclude that during the last ter
years $500 men more would have beer
killed and some $4,000 mere wounded, as
| Stunning that the casualties would hav,
] been the same In each Of the interventn.
| years as they were in 1893, and that tn,
number Of casualties in 1902 were newt
able In every year. Who will say the 1av
was not worth passing?
How much room there is for improve
Inent in the safe operation Of railways i
shown by the fact that during 1901 Their
were approximately 2,5 collisions and l..
derailments for every hundred miles o
railway operated.
! Most OF our industries and certainly on
mines have as much, IL not more room 70

life and limb than the railways.

BANK ADVERTISING
Printers Ink.

w. L. McCullagh, the only bank ad-
vertising manager in the world, writes
that the Pittsburg Bank for Savings the
only bank In the world that employs an
advertising manager, had secured an
increase in deposits Of $3,494,649.75 from
Jan. to Nov. IL. This record is not
approached by any other savings bank
in Pittsburg. and is due to combination
Of liberal advertising and careful, con.
sentative management. The total num-
Der Of depositors now on the books Is IS, J.
900. of which nearly 1900 were secure
during the present year, their accounts
averaging $3.50 each. The total amount
Of deposits at the close of business, Nov.
~, was $13.1s2,s8a.2s. Mr.. McCullagh's

SUBSCRIPTION TERMs
Take the Coal Duty OF.

There is one tariff measure that the
present session of congress ought to pass.
1t ought to take the duty of every kind
OF COAL not anthracite only
The people Of this part Of the United
States can take such stand without
being accused Of selfishness. Free coal
would not benefit US in any way. There
are no Canadian coal deposits near
enough to get access to our markets.
If there Is one schedule in the Ding
ley law that is more absurd than another
it Is the coal tariff. Our coal Will be used
up soon enough without putting pre-
MUM on it's early exhaustion and making
a special effort to preserve the coal OF
other nations. Why should the American
who lives near Canadian coal supply De
asked to pay 81 cents ton for the privt-
lege Of using American coal?
The argument that the American coal
miner needs protection is laughable. II
he cannot mine his coal probably IN COM
petition with miners in other countries.
we don't want him to mine 1t, we want
him to keep it against the day that Is
coming when coal will be scarce every
where. It is an argument that can't stand
for a second against the demand that
manufactured furnaces, heating stoves
and furnaces ought to have coal at prices
unaffected by artificial barriers to trade.
1t ought to be possible to stir the people
up to such q point that the present ses-
sion of congress would not dare to ad-
journ without making coal free.

A country exchange suggests that the
law ought to be amended SO that the
voters Of Independent school districts shall
not have the right to vote for county
superintendents. The suggestion is an
excellent one, and is applied in Henne-

uniting 10000 voters to take hand in
electing the superintendent Of . schools
represented by another 1000 Is obvious.

'C|TED FOR
| CONTEMPT
Attorney Ashford
Called Up by
Gear.
BOYD CASE GOES
OVER TWO DAYS.
japanese Hotel Keeper Charged
With False Imprisonment
Found Not Guilty.

c. w. Ashford. the attorney, was yes
terday ordered by Judge Gear to appear
before him ON Thursday morning al
ten o'clock and show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt
of court.
The order was asked by Kinney. Bal
leu & Mechanism, defendants attor-
neys in the case of Koolau Kaikaina-
The petitioners allege that Ashford in
defiance of Judge Gears order and
acting as counsel for plaintiff, did en-
ter upon the Kawaiahoa premises in
dispute and with violence and force of
arms eject one Napua, who was hold
ing possession for ]. o. Carter.
Napua makes affidavit that he was
upon the land in dispute as agent for
Carter, and that on Monday morning,
November 18th. C. w. Ashford and two
| other men to him unknown, ordered
MIN to vacate, and upon his refusal,
| threatened to use force, whereupon he
| left. Later in the afternoon he re-
| turned, and Ashford again appeared
and used violent language ordering af-
| fiant to quit the premises. Upon his
refusal C.. W. Ashford and one other
| man, it is alleged, seized Napua and
violently elected him from the
premises
JAP FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Thumb prints, japanese customs and
charges of all sorts of crimes were mix
ed up in the trial of T. Haramoto for
false imprisonment in the Circuit Court |
yesterday. The defendant in the case
was found not guilty, after three hours
argument in the jury room.
The trial of the case was sensational
in the extreme and occupied the entire
day. S. Nakamoto, a Japanese charcoal
burner, was the complaining witness.
He claims that he went to the hotel
conducted by the defendant ct the COR
ner of Maunakea and Beretania streets
and was given room. Later in the
evening he was accused of stealing q
gold watch and s3S and was searched
and two twenty dollar gold pieces tax
en- from him. Then he was beaten and
confined to a room in the hotel for
eleven days. At the end of that time,
he testified, he was released after being
to sign a confession of the
robbery, and a statement generating
the men who had beaten him. These
papers were drawn up in japanese
characters and Nakamoto not having a
seal made thumb print upon them.
The papers were not admitted in evil
1ence. The defendant denied the charge
md alleged that there was conspiracy
% extort money from him. The jury q
t was nearly nine o'clock before the
7erdict of not guilty was returned.
NEW SUIT AGAINST BROWN.
A new suit was filed yesterday by L.
:. Camacho against A. NJ Brown for
5000 damages for injuries alleged to
lave been sustained in Oahu Prison, .
