THIS AGE MORALLY OUT
OF lOlM1-DEAM MATTHEWS

C~hautAuQua, n. Y, Aug. l5.-Antiquc
methods are keeping good men out of the
ministry. according TO Dea Smaller Math-
ews OF the University of Chicago Divinity
school, who spoke at the C~hautauqua as
sembly. Ministers should be men of af-
fairs, and the church must become more
modern. Many churches are now thigh
class culture clubs and 'purveyors OF
esthetics and soporitics." the Chicago dean
asserted. The age is morally out of joint
and the people morally self-complacent.
Hypocrtical Christians go 10 church one
day and bribe legislatures the next. while
ministers are gagged by their wealthy pow
holders. Incidentally. he added, the giving
of tainted noney is hypocrisy, and com
mercialism causes degeneracy in science
literature and religion.

New York. Aug. 13.-To Oper-
ators: l received this morning
a communication from Il large
number of the operators in the
service OF the Associated Press
asking for a changed scale of
waees n hours and requesting
q reply by half past Z o'clock this
evening.
The changes involved are so
radical In he'll nature as to add
over 100000 81 year., and prob
ably more. to the expense of this
organization. The Associated
Press Is mutual IN its character,
makes no profits and has no sur
plus fund out of which such a
sum could be paid. Any such
increase must of necessity be
levied back upon the newspapers
as a part Of their weekly assess
ments. AS general manager
have no power to make such an
increase. either In salaries or as
sessments. without. authority
from the board of directors, and
1t is obviously impossible to call
this board together within the
time named. The board consists
OF fifteen members scattered
throughout the entire country.
AT the same time, acting under
authority heretofore granted me
by the board OF directors, | shall
be very glad at any time to meet
g committee of our opera
tors and confer with them re-
specting hours Of service and
compensation With a view to
making some recommendations
to the next meeting of the board
of directors, which shall meet
my fair Or just expectation of
hos in u operating service.
Even were l free to act l think
you must agree with me that a
question Of this magnitude should
not be presented To a conclusion
within the limits of a few hours
and without any opportunity for
consultation between myself and
representatives of u operating
force.
