dale 81 for PIalsted.

Along with the cities of kennebec
county Gardiner went Democratic yes
terday for the first time in a State
election and five of the six wards re-
urned substantial majorities for the
democratic candidates. E. L. Bussell
republican candidate for representa-
tive to the Legislature, lead the head
of the ticket by 21 votes. Hon. E. c.
Burleigh for representative to Con-
gress, was close to him and lead the
head of the ticket by 20 votes. Guy A
Hldreth ran IA votes ahead of the
ticket. The local candidates on the
county ticket ran well here but none of
them ran ahead.
The vote thrown was a record break
or for Gardiner and shows that there
was an immense amount of work done
by both sides. Early in the morning
the livery stables had let out all their
teams and automobiles had been en-
gagged for weeks in advance. Autos
we're used yesterday more than ever
before in taking voters to the polls and
were of great advantage in rapid
transit. The local Democrats were out
last night with d band celebrating their
victory in this city and also in Ran
dolph and Farmingdale. These two
towns also returned Democratic ma
iorites. Randolph going by "a and

DEARTH OF MINISTER'S.
Small Salaries Paid by Churches Is Re
sponsible for Condition.

The Protestant church is calling
loudly for men" to go into the min
lstry. Seminaries are unable to sup
ply the demand. New fields are OPEN
ing up and enough preachers are not
available. The official statement of
one of the most aggressive denomina-
tions shows total of 1O,O11 churches
with only total of 9.O73 pastors,
which means 93S churches have no
pastors, or that many must share the
services of the same men.
writer in one of the leading re-
ligious journals of the country asks.
who is responsible for this deficit in
available men for the pulpit?'' Over in
the want ad. department of this same
journal appears this item: Three good
men wanted for three promising fields
that will pay about 5000 each"
If this is not the whole answer. it is
at least large part of it. The
church is asking young men. college
graduates, to spend three years in
seminary preparing themselves for the
Christian ministry and then for good
men, it will pay 5000 year. OF
course, the work of Saving souls"
should not be placed altogether on a
money basis, but it nevertheless costs
money to support even preachers
family, and one of the chief reasons
today why many ministers find their
influence or channels OF usefulness out
side their pulpitS so restricted is their
lack Of means to enable them to come
into legitimate association or COM
petition with men of similar caliber or
ct tnfi IN, Dtb lie of
The church may plead as it will
with pious eloGuence for young men to
do its work. but young men who are
capable to do its work and to do other
important work are not going to an
swer the call very readily so long as
they perceive prosperous churches
holding out niggardly salaries for SER
vice. If churches would loosen up on
their purse strings they might be able
to find an answer to that question
which seems to puzzle so many, why
do not more men attend church?
Mediocre material in the pulpit is
never going to make much headWay
competing with superior material in
other avenues of intellectual enter
prise.
1t is the habit of business concerns
to tit the salary to the man, and when
business demands a very high grade
man it raises its offer to his level
Business methods applied to church
work generally yield handsome re-
turns.-Omaha Bee.
