Rev. Rife vs. First Baptist Church.

Kansas City. Mo, May IL
The Kansas City Court Of APP
peaIs decided today that a
member Of church congrega-
tion is not liable in law for the
payment of the pastors salary
and that a minister OF the gos
pei must depend upon the good
consciencies of the members OF
his flock for his pay and has no
legal hold on them for it.
This decision was made in
the law suit brought by Rev.
J. H. Rife against ten members
of the First Baptist church of
Monroe City to collect a bal.
ance due upon his salary as
pastor of that, church, Mr.. Rife
was engaged at salary OF $500
per year but was not paid that
much, so at the end Of the year
he brought suit for the balance.
The clergyman won his case in
the trial court but the court of
appeals reversed the Judgment.
Judge Broaddus wrote the
opinion and says in it:
1T is not only matter Of
the common religious history Of
this state that the Baptist
church, but that other denOmi
nations also. have only one
source to which they can look
for money to pay their preach
ers, and that is by the vOlunta
~ contribution of its members.
This knowledge is common to
all Baptist ministers, and il
must be presumed that the Rev,
Mr.. Rife knew it. III this coun
try the church and state are
separated by the constitution
and no citizen can be taxed e
support the church, The
churches, therefore, were com
nelled to resort to some mode
by which to raise funds tor TIT
furtherarce of their Plus pur
poses, and the result has show
only one mode was available
and that is by voluntary con
tribution. And I feel safe il
challenging the ecclesiastica
history of the state to produce
a single instance IN which !
Vas ever claimed that the EN-
nlovment Of a minister by tn

for one thing above all others-a
unanimous decision. That is vita
thing in arbitration.
Unions Here TO Stay.
MY opinion is that labor unions
have come to stay. The tendency OF
organized labor is to bring better men
to the front. That tendency is mark
ed. The two men who represented
the strikers in Alabama brought to
the discussion which resulted il the
settlement 2 gratifying spirit and in
telligence. AS we go on labor will
pass through its Gethsem&ne OF
strikes and discords and come out
on a plain and recognize g true pur-
pose and method consistent with the
best ends Of human society.
There are many substantial
proofs Of this thought. Take Mr.. Ar
thur, who was chief of the Brother
hOod of Locomotive Engineers. There
was a time in the beginning of his
career when he resented much that
was violent reckless annd threaten
ing. Time developed the other side
OF his character until he came to be
recognized as conservative man of
sound, common sense Time and eX-
perience are developing wisdom and
moderation in the leaders of organ
lied labor.
Il think that personal contact in
the settlement Of labor questions is
educational to both employer and en-
pl0ye. Both sides have something to
learn.
Il dare not hope that there will not
be serious labor troubles in the fu-
ture, but l feel that there will be a
betterment Of conditions. AS bust

ing and will come TO see that they
will have more advantage il a peace

toned labor than by rudely settling

would say, All right, Judge, if you
say so, it's ali right And they said it
cheerfully, So the efficiency and ben

hitration is the old Scriptural phrase
Come. let us reason together 1t will

Il found considerable feeling of
that kind in the south. The men did

men Than one finds elsewhere, but

the United States gave him an influ-

peal to the patriotism and good sense

to place upon them the moral coer-
cion of public opinion to agree to an
arbitrament CT the strike then exist
ing and threatening consequences so
direful to the whole country. He act
ed promptly AMI courageously, ana in
so doing averted the dangers to which
have alluded.
He Conserved Property.
80 far from interfering or infring-
ing upon property rights, the presl-
dents action tended to converse them.
The peculiar situation, as regards the
anthracite coal interest was that they
controlled a natural monopoly of a
product necessary to the comfort and
to the very life Of a large portion OF
the people. A prolonged deprivation
of the enjoyment Of this necessity OF
life would have tended TO precipitate
an attack upon these property rights
Of which you speak; for, after all, it
is vain to deny that this property, So
peculiar in its conditions, and which
is properly spoken of as a natural
monopoly is affected with a public in
terest.
Il do not think that any president
ever acted more wisely, courageously
or promptly in a national crisis. Mr..
Roosevelt deserves unstinted praise
for what he did,

tons. The human relations grow

them together, to bridge the chasm,

The Anthracite Arbitration.
My experience as al arbitrator in
two disputes confirms ne in this
opinion. The arbitration in the an
thr2cite region was conducted openly.
The whole interested public looked on
and heard. and the parties on each
side. embitterei by the contest, had
to pass the challenge of public opin-
ion. Four months Of contention in the
mode sanctioned by the habit OF the
English-speaking people resulted in
an orderly and intelligent, though
strenuous discussion. conducted with
all the amenities that obtain in the
most civilized tribunals. And | be-
lieve that each side parted from he
other with mutual respect and good
will enhanced BY experience Of their
respective contentious before a'disin-
terested tribunal The same is true
Of the late arbitration in Alabama.
The hearings were public conducted
with decOrum and all the amenities
that belong to civilized contentious,
with the full understanding that what
ever differences had been exploited on
one side or the other, both would
cheerfully accept the decision and
Judgment Of their chosen arbitrator.
The open and public proceedings,
where a full opportunity was given
for every contention on each side to
be urged, had a salutary educational
effect on both miners and operators.
