Do Ministers Complain Too Muchp

From the Western Christian Advocate.
Investigators into the problem of the
supply of ministers say that one reason
the pulpit is prevailing pessimism among
Clergymen. They represent that ministers
are apt to emphasize the severity of their
work. the smallness of their pay and gen.
orally to adopt a querulous mood AS a
matter of fact, even the hardestworked
ministers do not labor, perhaps, more Sc
verely than many other successful men in
other professors. The advice which these
investigators give them is to quit wailing,
and to work all the more strenuously. Even
if they have many difficulties to face the
appeal to our young manhood ought to be
to the heroic in ministerial life. They will
respond to that note quicker than they will
to representations of a soft time
1t is true that country boys, knowing how
too many country ministers have to live,
may not be especially won to those condi-
tions but the remedy for this is in the
hands of the church, which ought to afford
about the reasons which may affect the
choice of the ministry in the minds of COL
legians. Some of these are the publicity
and reprobation given to the failings of
pastors-failings which are, frequently,
much less prominent than those of other
professional men, in whom they are scarcely
noticed But doubtless, 1t is well to hold
the ministry to an unusually high standard
of etiquette and moral conduct. 1t is said
too, that in the college the old inspirational
teacher who stimulated young men for life
ideals has been supplanted by the some
what dry-aS-dust specialist who cares only
for his ology.

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO WITH

Serious Doubt Whether He Will Exer-

Other Presidents.

Written for The Eve7ing Star.
PARIS, March 20, 1905.
All Paris is talking about Roosevelt and
Loubet making comparisons between them.
A curious international coincidence has
arisen. The Presidents of the two great
republics find themselves, almost at the
same time, in a similar position.
1t is, therefore, natural that French politi-
clans who think one way should urge the
French president to initiate the recent ac-
ton of his brother in America. They say
to him:
See how Roosevelt withstood his Senate
in the matter of the arbitration agreements.
Here is the two years service bill coming
for your signature. If it becomes law 1t
will reduce the period of military service
and weaken the army in both numbers and

School Teachers and Marriage.

From the New York Sun.
Assemblyman Hartman has introduced in
the legislature an amendment to the New
York city charter providing that any un-
married woman now employed in the public
schools shall lose her job on marrying. The
board of education has already attempted
to enforce this rule. Its efforts to do SO
were defeated in the courts. Because or
the persistency with which the board pur-
sues it's attempt to rid the schools of wo
men guilty of matrimony II is fair to as
sumo that great importance is attributed
to their exclusion, and 1t is therefore sur
prising to find that effort is made to
have the rule applied universally. The
amendment proposed by Mr.. Hartman is
as follows:
Female principals heads Of departments.
directors, supervisors, assistant directors.
assistant supervisors of special branches
and teachers in all the schools under the
jurisdiction of the board of education, ex-
cept those now employed as assistants and
designated as additional teachers, shall for
felt their positions and the same shall be-
come vacant upon marriage; provided, how
ever, that said board of education may, in
it's discretion, where husband is inca-
FACILITATED through physical or mental dis
ease from earning livelihood, or In case
of abandonment, reinstate, reappoint or re-
employ such female principals and,
provided, also, that the provisions of this
act shall not operate to forfeit the position
of any such female principal who
shall have married prior to the passage OF
this act"
1t will be observed that old offenders srS
not to be disturbed, and that only such
teachers as have husbands capable of sup
porting them are to be penalized by this
enactment. Apparently the board of edu-
cation looks upon the job of teacher as
one for which no woman capable of sup
porting herself by other means should be
eligible. A competent teacher who marries
man capable of supporting her is to be
fired out. One whose husband is a scoun-
drel or an invalid may be retained in the
service. What account is taken IN this
theory of the schools and the scholars?
Is the determined effort of the board of
education to find way to discharge mar
ried women from the city's employ due
to a belief that they are not as competent
as unmarried women, or is 1t based on
some half cooked theory about fair" and
unfair competition?

Mexico's Financial Record.
From Modern Mexico.

The City of Mexico has been doing bust,
ness for about $50 years. There is prob
ably no capital in the civilized world that
during the same period has been the CEN
ter of more wars of conquest or revolution.
and yet, through all the troublesome days
of these centuries, this city has maintained
its financial reputation free from blemish.
Kings have come and gone, viceroy has
succeeded viceroy, emperors have -four
ished for brief regime, and rival factions
have striven for the presidency, loans have
been forced by general government
to be repudiated by the next, bonds were
issued during the French occupancy that
the republic would not assume. but during
all the strife the ancient capital of the
Aztecs cherished its financial integrity as
its choicest jewel. and today rejoices In
the record that not once in all its long
history has debt been repudiated.

France and showing himself at the annual

Felix Faure extended the triumphal trips
to foreign countries his memorable visit to
the car following on his reception of the

Veritable sovereign. AT the Observation-Disclosures
of Fontainebleau he received his ministers
like Louis XIV, and at Rambouillet he

pect of making a stand on the so-called
veto power conferred on the president by
the famous constitutional laws. Recently,
when the president of the senate hit Presi-
dent Loubet over the shoulder of General
Billot, sayng-in spite of the constitutional
text-"No appeal may be made to the chief
of the state against the will of the housesI'
ex-President Casimir-Perier came out of his
habitual silence and pointed out the gen.
eral impotence of the president, even to rid
himself of an undesirable cabinet minister.
If MacMahon finally obtained the demission
of Jules Simon, none of his successors has
dared attempt similar assertion of au-
thority, while, on the other hand they have
been seen imploring in vain for a minister
to take himself off.
President Loubet send the two years
service bill back to the houses for a second
deliberaton?" laughs Casimir-Perier. The
constitution gives him that right, yes; and
the constitution also the right to see that
the laws are executed, the right to pro-
pose new laws, the right to dispose of the
armed force, the right to ratify and nego-
tiate treaties. But of all the powers that
seem to be attributed to the president of the
French republic by the constitution, there
is but one which he may exercise with free
dom and personally-the right to preside at
national celebrations!'
