The Itiner.nt Pastor.

The problem of what minister to
send 10 which congregation is one the
Methodist bishops are solving these
convention days, when spring chickens
are tender and plump.
The bishops are good men and true.
They are experienced and wise and
pious They know just about how much
to discount the pleas for the old min
,ster 20 be returned for another year.
Ye. st is a difficult matter to always
do ful. Justice to both minister and
congregation.
There used to be an invariable rule
governing the Methodist preachers.
They couldn't stay at one place more
than three years. Now they can stay
as long as there Is any good reason
for their sojourning. This makes it
more pleasant for the i'll paid pastor.
because, being human, tho preacher.
he makes friends from whom he re-
erets to be separated. Nevertheless
rotation of the preacher crop is about
as wholesome law as that OF rotating
crops OF any kind. Better results are
had. People are very exacting as to
their preachers. They expect perfect
piety from the men of God. Little al
lowance is made for their being hum

THE GASOLINE MOTOR CAR.

The installation Of the gasoline mot
or car on the Lehigh branch OF the
Chicago Great-Western railroad is adj
ditional evidence that the present man
a cement of that railroad is doing all in
IT'S power 20 give satisfactory service
70 the patrons of the COMPANY The
service for passengers on this branch
line has never been good for anything
The cars were dirty and the schedule
of time was as unreliable as anyone
could imagine. The motor car is COM
modious and as attractive n appear
ance as ]. Pierpont Morgan could ask
for in his private car. L makes the
trip swiftly and at convenient hours
for people all along the line L is hop
ed that if there are to be any delays
on the system the dispatches will let
the freight train do the resting on the
siding and let Conductor Langlois take
his passengers thru according to the
time table
1t is too early vet to know how pro-
ftable the motor car vii be for the
company bur experience IN other
things indicates that improved service
will increase business between Lehigh
and Fort Dodge and make ample re-
ceipts for the company. For the first
two days the car has been in opera
ton it has carried nearly 200 passen-
gers each day. and this kind Of average
would be very satisfactory 10 the rail-
way company.

GIVING THEIR CASE AWAY.

Conent appeared in these columns
few days ago on the absurd and
benighted stand taken by the Missouri
Federation Of Labor against the pend
ing prohibitory amendment 70 the con-
stitution Of thar state Now We have
for consideration the attitude Of bus
mess" on the same subject.
In Kansas Ciey the other day Ben
jarin Westhus. president of mer-
chants association in ST. Louis. ad-
dressed a meeting on the liquor ques-
ton. and said:
Missouri can not prevent liquor
from being manufactured 1t can not
prevent its citizens from drinking it as
long as other states permit i, 70 be
manufactured, 50 when you are asked
70 vote for prohibition you are not
asked 70 stop the manufacture Of liquor

ing industry for a living and you are
asked TO drive them out Of the state or
into competition with other working
people. Prohibition would destroy some
$1,000. 900 q year Of revenue that the
state receives from these sources"
Since Mr. Mesthus takes labor into

A Baltimore Problem.
baltimore sun.


The ordinance introduced into the
city council by Mr. West. member
from the Thirteenth ward. providing
for separate residence sections for
white and colored people iI2e the city OF
Baltimore and prohibiting the mem
bers of one race from invading the ter
ritory reserved for the other, raises
question of very grave Importance and
of special interest TO the owners OF
real estate in this city.
Until the matter has been consid-
cred more fully il would be premature
TO venture an opinion regarding this
ordnance either from the point or
view of constitutionality or from that
of public policy. But that something
ought TO be done. If possible, to rem
edy the existing conditions, does not
admit Of doubt. 1t is a difficult stua-
ton to deal with, but no good can be
accomplished by refusing 10 look the
facts in the face. Whatever may be
the cause. the fact undoubtedly is
when colcred people begin to buy res
licences in white sections the values OF
properties in those sections shrink to
an extent and with a suddenness
which is productive of enormous loss
to their white owners.
SO far as this ordinance is an effort
to protect property owners against
such losses, 1t is certainly entitled to
the most serious and careful consider
alton of the council. The matter. how
ever is one of manifest delicacy, and
it is TO be hoped that it will be con-
s.dered by the council with care, pa
tience and entire freedom from any
thing like political bias or passion.
No good can possibly come from
any angry or heated discussion OF a
matter of this kind
A great deal Of good may come from
a calm. dispassionate and honest con-
sideration of the question.
There may be legal difficulties in the
way Of the method Of disposing Of the
question presented in Mr. Vests ordi-
nance. or there may not That is
question for lawyers TO determine. But
however that may be- it is TO be hoped
that the sensible men. men Of infiu-
ence and character among the colored
people of these localities. will cooper
ate with their white neigh bors in an
honest and sincere effort to bring about
an adjustment of this matter so as to
prevent that race friction which is
bound TO result from a perpetuation of
existing conditions
there ought 10 be a public sentiment
which would make it virtually inpos-
sible for real estate owners or agents
to introduce colored tenants into white
neighborhoods.

soop LAWYERS FOR THE POOR.

Judge Seaman OF Chicago has Sc
lected list from the name Of leading
attorneys OF his court whom ne will
assign to defend penniless prisoners.
These are the high priced lawyers,
those whom the prisoners might select
had they funds or friends with fall
money. They are the kind OF lawyers
who have done none Of this necessary
work but have taken princes ransom
for day in court Now the Judge says
they must share in rhe defense OF the
dead broke defendant as well as the
purse of the wealthy. Judge Seaman
proposes to take a lawyers directory
OF the city and select leading men OF
their profession. He estimates this will
assign one case TO each in a period OF
two years.
No doubt this decision will be hailed
with Joy by the penniless Nowadays
it is hard 20 get either good counsel or
defense without the money in hand.
Imagine how grateful "Sneaky" Hen
messy will be when he can match
against the prosecuting attorney the
brightest legal minds in the city.
."Sneaky" will be happy-'nit.' He

doesn't want any man who is sincerely
in favor OF freeing the innocent and
Furnishing the guilty.
But there is class Of defendants
who will greatly profit by this order,
men who will evoke the sympathy of
the attorney and deserve the best
counsel they can have assigned them.
1t will not hurt the big man to do a
little large work for small pay. 1t
Will be a good thing for the court it
