Why NOT PAY ALL9

It was not unnatural that the over
worked members Of congress should
come In the course Of time to demand
an increase In pay. 1t is the tendency.
The present scale is comparatively
low and although certain members
have been enabled to save $4,000 a
year on their pay, they feel as an
average that $1,000 year Is not suf-
fcient remuneration when the i'm
portance OF the service rendered Is
taken into consideration. The senate
has not reflected this sentiment. The
President, the Vice President, and
Cabinet, are doing no active lobbying
against the proposition to present
them living wages. Meanwhile, the
President is reported as wanting the
salaries of all federal employees raised
about 20 per cent, but nothing is said
about more pay for the rank and file
Of the army and navy. Some humble
citizens long have thought that II
these schedules were better, desertions
would dwindle and the annual cry Of
inability to get men for the coast arr
tillery die to faint whisper. But
the army and navy have no lobby.
They are merely the men behind the
guns. Exchange.

THOS. DOVERY, PUBLISHER.
The Sunday Meetings.

The great evangelist, VIM. M.
Sunday, has taken Warrington by
storm. His watchword is "Wor-
thington for Christ, ." and he pro-
poses to make it a fight to the finish.
It was Interesting to note with
what different feelings his coming
was REGARDED before his advent here.
It has been still more interesting to
note the varying opinions of Mr..
Sunday since he opened his meet
ings., Everybody has had to admit
that Mr.. Sunday is remarkable
man, and that he is doing a remark
able work in q remarkable way.
Mr.. Sunday lisa religious free lance.
His aim is to reverse the prevailing
order of religious inanity, and by
the power of the Holy Ghost re-
galvanize Christianity into living
and powerful force His sermons
are a bombardment having the
rapidity of the gattling gun and the
force of the big ~ inch rifle. His
shells are charged with earnestness,
and loaded with bits Of reason,
philosopy and whitening sarcasm
that cannot fail to pierce the armor
of the most case hardened sinner.
These bombs are hurled with I'M
erring impartiality into the camp
Of somnolent saint and sleeping
sinner alike.
Will Mr.. Sunday win Worthing-
ton for Christ?
Well, with a fair show he would
come very near it, but prejudice,
cowardice and deliberate disregard
OF the great salvation now at hand
will keep many from availing them
selves of the present opportunity.
That Mr.. Sunday. will do a great
work in Worthington is certain.
That is his record everywhere. It
is good common sense as we'll as
good business sense to aid in the
present movement for the regenera-
ton of the city. Oppo sition to any
great religious movement brings
disaster.
As to Mr.. Sundays methods we
have no comment to offer. He has
the endorsement of a practically
united church, and that is sufficient
Mr.. Sunday has been engaged in
evangelistic work for eleven years,
and he must be given credit for
being a better judge of methods
than the horde Of harping, hypo-
critical critics who scott at his
methods.

TIE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIEs.

The Republican voters OF New York and
Kings counties have emphaucally expressed
their determination 70 support President Roose-
welt and Governor Higgins and 10 maintain
the policy OF clean party management The
primaries in New York County have resulted in
q decisive victory for Mr.. Parsons. which insures
his reelection as president OF the county CON-
mittee and the sending Of delegates 10 the state
convention majority Of whom will be favorable
Of the state in harmony with reform sentiment
Mr.. Quigg not only lost his Assembly district,
but even his own election district, and several
Of the district leaders devoted 10 his interests
whom he fully expected 10 carry through have
been badly beaten The victory OF Mr.. Parsons
is really more decisive than the bare figures OF
the results IN Assembly districts would indicate.
for Mr. Parsons has won in many OF the dis
triCts having a large Republican vote, while
Mr.. Quigg's strength is chiefly in downtown
Democratic districts, with comparatively small
weight in Republican conventions. In Kings
County Mr.. Woodruff has been equally success
full in his contest with Mr.. Dady.
The vote fully justiieS the confidence which
The Tribune has felt In the virtue OF the rank
and file OF the Republican party and their readi-
ness TO stand for the right when the issue was
made clear 70 them. II IS evident that poll
ticians who thought that the moral uprising OF
last year had spent its force were badly mis-
taken. The Republican party is not TO be used
for the restoration OF the lobby, but 10 carry on
70 completion the good work so well begun under
the leadership Of the President and the Governor.
The party approaches the campaign with bright
ened prospects. and this fact must rejoice not
only Republicans, but also citizens regardless
OF party who are concerned 10 save the state
from the threatening tide Of demagogic rad
