. large congregation greeted Rev. Donald
c. Macleod. pastor Of the First Presby-
ter1an Church, yesterday morning when
he stepped into the pulpit. The greatest
surprise for the returning minister. how

when he walked into the church on his
return.

ed larger vision Of the worlds needs
1 have 4 larger faith in the gospel as the
only power under Heaven to satisfy those
needs. And have a larger conviction In
the missioV Of America to lead in giving
the gispel to the world.
These observations have taught me
that I have a larger burden Of RESPONSE
biiity as your pastor, to mean more to

this city and nation"
In concluding. DR.. Macleod said he
had come to the parish. mot to stay In
Ephesus," as st. Paul expressed it. but

FOR INCREASE IN PAY.
@. p. o. Typesetting Machine Opera
tors Expect Higher Conversation.

Friends of the operators of typesetting
machines are making an effort to induce
Congress to authorize the public printer
TO pay this class of employees slightly
higher compensation. Figures have been
presented to the committee on appropr!a-
tons Of the House showing that govern
ment printing Office operators are not
paid as much as similar employment COM
mands in newspaper Offices and the better
class Of book publishing houses.
When asked what argument was put
forth in behalf Of an increase. Mr.. Frank
A. Kidd said:
I'm the business world the justice Of a
higher rate of pay has been generally
conceded on account Of the greater pro-
due tive capacity of men engaged in in
dustrtal pursuits and also because of the
increased cost of living. While the re-
wards to capital have been largely aug
mented on account OF improved methods
of production and transportation and in
exploiting new fields. the incomes of the
workers In most occupations have been
at standsttll for many years. But the
managers in the industrial world have in
the recent past increased the pay of the
workers to the aggregate Of many mill
lions.
almost every line Of human endeavor
has been rewarded by substantial in
creases. those granted by the railroads
OF the country, ranging from to 20 per
cent. aggregating fully $1O0.OOO.O0O. The
standard OIL Company, employing $4,000
men. has increased salaries from 10 to. &c
per cent. The Amalgamated Copper Com
pany. the great express companies. the
banking and trust companies have all
fallen into line. 1t would be the work of
days merely to compile list Of the va
rfous industries that have granted in
creases In compensation to the faithful
employees who have assisted in the de-
velopment OF the industries Of the coun-
try. And, notwithstanding the vast sums
thus added to the purchasing power of
the workers Of hand and brain. dividends.
past and prospective, were never more
satisfactory.
Employees OF the government printing
office are faithful. intelligent. Industrious
and exceptionally skillful. and by every
rule of right and reason are justly enti-
tied to an advance over the present rate
for machine operation

THIRTY DAYS IN JAIL.
Sentence Imposed Upon Percy Wade
for Setting Up Gaming Table.

Justice Barnard. in Criminal Court No.
2 today sentenced Percy Wade to serve
thirty days In jail. Wade was convicted
of setting up gaming table by conduct
ing a bucket shop where wagers on the
rise and fall Of the stock market quota
tons might be made. An appeal to the
Court Of Appeals was noted and the de-
PENDANT was released on $500 bail pending
the decision Of the appellate court.
The other five brokers indicted for al
legged similar offenses will probably not
be tried until the Court of Appeals has
rendered its decision in the Wade case.
1t was expected that Wade would accept
the decision of Justice Barnard and not
prosecute an appeal. In that event 1t is
likely sentence would have been sus-
pended.
