PAY OF THE PRESIDENT.

The bill pending in congress for the
to 100000 a veal and the expressions
from Washington indicating a strong
prospect of favorable action on the
measure have started a general dis
presidents income and the financial
drain made by his official duties.
The question is interesting, al
though it is difficult to ascertain even
president is put on account of the hazy
line between official and personal ex-
penses in the up-keep of the White
House. Most foreign nations make
provision for a lump sum for their
rulers out of which all expenses are
paid. The car of Russia, for example,
receives l 100000 a year for the
maintenance of his family and his
court. The sultan of Turkey receives
81, 500, 900 and Austria-Hungary, Ger
many, Great Britain and Italy follow
in the order named. with appropria-
tions running from 5000, 900 to
81, 900, 900, even the little kingdom Of
Portugal allowing its ruler an annual
salary Of $4,000.
The president of the United States
receives a salary of $4,000 a year,
but this by no means represents the
allowance placed at his disposal by the
government. The president pays for
his personal stan of servants, the mar
keting bills and the horses intended
for his personal use, but the govern
ment pays the cooks, messengers,
walters, ushers and domestic STAFF of
the White House. The flowers used
at the White House come from the
government gardens and the govern
ment furnishes c~onveyances for the
White House corps while on official
business. In case of receptions and
special functions at the White House
the music is furnished by the Marine
band and extra help is frequently de-
tailed from other departments.
Notwithstanding ell this. the drain
upon the presidents purse is very
heavy. He must pay for all entertain
ments at the White House. both pri-
vate and official. The state dinners,
of which several are given each year,
are costly and during the season con-
siderable entertaining is required. The
formal receptions, of which there are
hve or six each year. do not entail
any particular expense, but there Is
rarely a day in the year when the
president does not entertain from two
to twenty persons at luncheon or din
ner. For distinguished foreign guests
the entertainment must be in keeping
with the rank and dignity of the
guests and, as congress makes no pro

THE FARM CURE FOR TRAMPs.

Following along lines adopted and
tested with much success In several
European countries, the officials Of
New York state have determined to
test the farm cure for Migrants and
tramps. The legislature will be asked
t. make an appropriation to purchase
and equip a large farm where habitual
tramps and Migrants will be required to
work summer and winter. until cured
of their vanderbilt" by being con-
WINGED that they have to work for
their living.
The tramp problem exists in every
large city, but is perhaps more acute
in New York than elsewhere. Long
experience has taught the officers of
the law that Jail sentences have no
terrors for professional Migrants. On
the contrary, the veteran hobo is very
prone to commit some modest misde-
meanor from time to time in order to
obtain a clear title to Jail bed and
board. The stone pile has been tried
in many parts of the country with
some good results, but this work can
not be carried on well in the winter,
and in addition is more expensive to
have rock broken by hand when It
can be done so much more cheaply by
machinery. To impose a fine upon the
vagrant and suspend it, as is often
tried, on condition of leaving town in
an hour is a makeshift, because the
tramp thus driven out of the city has
his place promptly taken by another
who has just been ordered out of a
neighboring town.
The New York plan provides for
commitment Of habitual Migrants for
an indeterminate term, with a maxi
mum Of two years. 1t is proposed to
require men thus sentenced to do
good, hard work that will teach a
trade, or the knowledge that life
means work. 1t is proposed that the
men be given good food and proper
housing and be subjected to a system
of grading for efficient service that
will enable them to earn a little
money above their keep. The measure
has the endorsement of all the leading
charitable organizations and is being
warmly urged by the railroad man
ayers, all of whom have much trouble
with the tramp nuisance.
If New York's experiment serves the
purpose of lessening the tramp nui-
sance in the cities and at the same
time trains men for intelligent work
on the farms. for which there is al
ways an excessive demand. it is GER
tain that other states will hasten to
follow the example in dealing with an
evil which has become a burden and
menace in every section of the coun-
try.

We get no higher work until we put the

A good many of the bruises on our hearts
come from climbing over conscience.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

Charleston News and Courier: At the
New England dinner the other night a very
good story was told about President Had
ley of Yale university, who was asked by
a distinguished clergyman. who had gone
to Yale to preach on an important oc-
casion: How long shall l preach?" Just
as long as you WISH" DR.. Hadley promptly
replied; 1.-THE way is open to you and you
may preach as long as you like; but I
would say that there is a generally ac-
cepted tradition here that no souls are
saved after twenty minutes" The bearings
OF these observations, so far as they have
any bearings, as our brethren Of the cloth
will possibly perceive, is in their applica-
ton.
Philadelphia Ledger: There is more and
more recognition among enterprislng church
denominations of the fact that mere doc
trinal distractions or dogmatic discussions
do not deeply interest young folks. The
imaginative and luminous MIND Of youth
needs the poetry OF things, somewhat Of it's
own flavor and kindred. The kernel none
the less still continues to be the truth,
though enveloped In attractive guise. What
should be the exact limit of such attrac-
t~iveness will always be a matter of dis
cussion. That It may-snd very readily-be
carried 10 excess Is obvious, Among preach
ers. as among laymen, there will always
be those inclined to the spectacular and
the eccentric. Latitude, with these, means
occasional wide flights Of fancy, excessive
intermixture Of sentiment, display and
moral principle, and insufficient devotional
exercise.
New York Post: A little book on "A
Practical Study In the Art OF Money-Rais-
Ing has lately been published in England.
It is designed primarily for the use OF
churches. They ertainly are often COM
PEELED TO rival college presidents in the
ingenuity Of their appeals for funds. One
highly novel shift was recently attempted
in an advertisement in the London Morning
Post. IL ran as follows: ITO Bridge Play
ers-On the LIST OF December next, the birth
day Of our gracious queen. will you give
one-twenieth OF your bridge winnings that
day, TO assist in building an extra aisle
in 81. Pauls church, Winchester" This
is moderate. one would have expected that
at least the scriptural rule OF one-tenth
would be enforced. But possibly the au-
