PREACHERSSALARIES
AVERAGE ONLY
S636 A YEAR
The Official Figures Indicate
They Have to Work Out
side of the Pulpit

The average annual salary of
a minister of the gospel is but
S636, in all the denominations
represented in the compilations
on this subject in Part | of
special report on the census of
religious bodies for 1906, which
is now in press preparatory to
its submission to United States
Census Director Durand to Sec
retary Nagel, of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
The report was compiled under
the supervision of William c.
Hunt, chief statisticlan of popu-
lation in the census bureau, and
the statistics were ecollected part
ly by special agents,
It is pointed out in the intro
ductiOn that this is the first time
an attempt has been made in
the United States census to Sc
cure official statistics concerning
salaries to be paid to ministers.
It is stated that the results of
the census are not entirely salts
factory on account of the failure
of some ministers to report their
salaries and Others to report
with sufficient clearness. OF the
grand total of 196 deuomiua-
tions in central United States,
the report states that Is have
no regular ministry and SO
either pay no stated salaries or
made returns which were not
sufficiently complete to warrant
tabulat1on
The denomination showing the
highest average is the Unitarian
with 81, ,653, while the denomin-
ations next in order are the
Protestant Episcopal church,
ST, ,242; the Universalists, 81 ,23S;
the General Convention of the
New Jerusalem in the United
States Of America, 81, ,233; the
Presby terian church in the United
States Of America, 81, ITO; the
United Presbyterian Church of
North America, 81 ,096; the Con-
gregationallsts, $1.042; the
Christian Catholic Church in
Zion, 81, ,O37; and the Synod of
the Reformed Presbyterian
church of North America, 81 ,OOS.
In the case of the Roman Cath
olic church, the figures show but
little difference between the aver
age and that of the various
classes of cities or for the area
outside of the principal cities,
the reason being that in this de-
nomination the salaries as fixed
for the diocese being in general
the same for the rural districts
as for the large cities.

FOREMAN BLACK
KILLED IN FRESNO
F Former Barber of Winslow
Shoots Him Six Times
Then Suicides

An unknown and helpless in
tatuatlon for Mrs. Bessie Zebase
Black, wife of Harry Black, the
| Santa Fe round house fore
man at Fresno, California,
drove Robert E. Schiffner, a Bo-
hefnian barber, to assassinate
Black in cold blood, and then
commit suicide. The double ira
gedy took place last Saturday,
Nay 2Sth, about noon, in the
railroad yards at Fresno. Bot!
men are we'll known in Winslow.
The murderer and suicide once
worked here at the barber trade
III >One OF the local shops, while
the murdered railroad man was
foreman Of the round house at
Seilgman for ten or eleven years,
having moved to Fresno about
a year ago, immediately after
his marriage.
The details of the affair were
obtained from o. w. Bottorf. a
special detective agent of the
Santa Fe, who secured state
ment from a Mexican who was
All eye witness of the shooting.
Sthiffner, the Mexican said, let
Black pass him. Then he STEP
ped out OF his hiding place be
/ tween the cars and called after
him the single word, "Black!"
The foreman turned, only to
receive six shots in rapid success
sion. He fell without uttering
word. Without a glance at the
the PROSTATE man Schiffner put
the smoking weapon on himself,
and with the last bullet in the
automatic pistol he was using,
shot himself in the forehead, fall
ing forward dead.
Schiffner left Seligman about
year ago, and worked 1ntermit-
tently at Ash Fork, also at other
points along the line at his trade
as a barber Last November he
returned to Seligman and then
LETT, stating that he was going
to Seattle. Store marks on his
clothing indicated that the mur-
derer and suicide had Travelled
extensively over the coast from
Seattle to Los Angeles. His soft,
white hands indicate that he had
not done any hard manual labor
lately.
! In an interview with a Fresno
Republican reported, Kenneth Fl.
Gillette, a we'll known railroad
man along the entire line of the
Santa Fe in Arizona, had the fol-
lowing to say regarding the
crime:
I don't think the man would
be determined a degenerate, He
was good for something, and
worked hard as a barber. He
was known at Seligman for his
fondness Of the red light dis
trict, and later became associated
with man who was known to
boast Of leading or trying to
lead astray the mattresses at the
Harvey eating house. There
never was d breath of suspicion
against Mrs. Black.
| remember the face well. He
was working IN Johnny Foley's
barber shop when l knew him
At one time he was a fine look
/ ing man.
As for Black, he was not a
man who you could get into a
fight. While he was physically
able to defend himself, he would
walk away rather than attack
another man He was a 6ne man
and respected by all who knew
him.

ARIZONA IS RAPIDLY
FORGING TO THE
FOREFRONT
Development of Territory in
the Past Few Years Is
Wonderful

the national census which has
just been completed in Arizona,
as showing the present popula-
tion. says special correspond
ent writing from Bisbee, Arizona,
to the albuquerque Journal, the
tact will remain that few states
in the Union have made a great,
er progress during the past de
cade than Arizona.
Those who have resided here
during that time, can look back
ten years and see many large
and prosperous communities
which have appeared IN Arizona
in that time.
The Bisbee Review has the fol
lowing: Every county, city and
town has made substantial pro-
gtess both in industry and popu-
lation. This progress has been
especially noticeable in ella and
Graham counties in the southern
part of the territory. Ten years
ago, Globe was not one fifth of
the size of the present metropolis
of ella county. Globe has had
a wonderful growth, and ten
years ago the present rival of
Globe - Miami - was without
habitation and had never been
marked on the map.
In Cochise county there has
been even greaterprogress in the
matter of population and busi-
ness industry during the nast
decade. Douglas had only just
been marked for a site of the
splendid city with it's population
of ten thousand, including the
additions which have since been
plated and settled. Courtland,
one of the important mining
towns of the territory, is anoth-
er addition to the Importance of
Cochise county within the last
three years. Bisbee has doubled
its Importance and population
many times since the year 1900,
when the Calumet & Arizona
Mining company had just begun
the development Of the great
copper properties which are now
feeding the splendid reduction
works owned by that company
in Douglas; the Superior Pitts
burg came later with it's splen-
did success and consequent ad-
dition to the population and
prosperity of the Warren dis
trict. The new town of Warren,
with it's handsome homes and a
population of more than one
thousand, is a product of the
last decade. Tombstone, Benson
and Wilcox have all advanced
in Importance and population,
and added to this growth is the
hundreds of settlers in the Sui
phur Springs valley.
In other portions of Arizona
we find the same evidence OF
growth in many of the counties
Tucson has made good progress
and is still going ahead with
brighter prospects than ever.
Then there is the vast addition
to population and industry at
Ray, Winkelman and all along
the line of the Phoenix & East
ern railroad. Florence has be-
come more important and popu-
lous than it was ten years ago.
In the Salt River valley the
growth, especially in recent
years, has been rapid. Phoenix
the capital city, has been on a
veritable boom for two years,
and has substantially increased
in population.

| some extreme Radicals, liAe Sir Henry
Dalziel, who are prepared to vote
against the government on some issues.
particularly that of the reformation OF
| the House Of Lords With such factors
the working out of the problem of high
ly contentious legislation is likely to be
difficult If not impossible.
Mr.. Asquith is believed by some per
sons. according to our London CORE
spondent, to be riding for fall and
we may we'll suppose that he would be
glad TO get rid of the vexatious task
which he has in hand. But that would
mean new election. and that, i'll turn.
would probably mean a Unionst ma
iority. Note the varying majorities Of
the last quarter of q century: In 1889
the Liberals had 172, in 1886 the Union
lists 116. in 1892 the Liberals A.. in 1898
the Unionists 152. in 1900 the Unionists
1874, in 1906 the Liberals 354, and now,
in 1910. the Liberal coalition 124. In the
late election the Liberals lost % from
what they had at the dissolution. and
the Unionists gained 1O5. Another dis
solution would be tantamount to con-
fessiOn that. the country had not given
the Liberals power to govern. and such
Il confession of weakness and failure
would almost certainly cause further
Liberal losses and UniOnist gains
Under such circumstances riding for
a fall'' would be nothing but the
prompting of counsels OF despair
Undoubtedly the most serious mena &c
TO Mr.. Asquith'S government is the ex-
treme attitude which has been taken bv
the Nationa lists by the LabOriteS and by
Liberals who resolutely refuse to coun-
tenance any step toward reforming the
constitution of the House of Lords. who
insist that the upper chamber shall be
abolished altogether sor else shall be fet-
tered and reduced as nearly as possible
to impotence and yet retained in its
present unreformed state for the sake OF
the political capital which may be got
out of it by railing against 1t, and VINO
threaten the government with ruin if it
dareS to attempt reform Of the Lords.
Thus Mr.. MasSngham. one Of the
foremost Liberal journalists. in The
Nation" says that IF the anti-veto pol
Icy be dropped, and the policy Of re-
formed second chamber substituted,
1.-The debdcle would be inevitable. imme-
''diate and overwhelming. We must
regard that as an unfortunate and I'M
worthy attitude TO assume toward con-
stitutional question of the first magnl-
tude, and we have no doubt that Mr.
Asuuith and most of his ministerial col
leagues SO regard it. But In the present
state of the House Of Commons they
may be unable to defeat it, or at least
to avoid the defeat which 1t threatens
to bring upon them.

4 REASON FOR FAILURE.

The study of Police Department bust
pal Research indicates how little those
in authority in the department KNOW
about what is going on under them. The
inquiry was undertaken at the request
of Police Commissioner Bingham. He
was an honest administrator, who strove
above all else to introduce system in the
department. Yet il is shown that abuses
went on all the time in the conduct OF
the police business. Bills were palu
twice. supplies We're lost, contractors
were favored over other contractors,
vouchers and acquisitions We're altered
1t NAV be said that all this has not
much bearing on the question whether
the patrolman patrols his beat ana
whether the law is impartially enforced.
Directly. perhaps. 1t has not But If the
heads of the department know so little
of how its business Is conducted, when
a proper system Of accounting might
make that all clear. how much can they
be presumed to know about the vastly
more complex problem of how the In
diyidual members of the force do their
duty? 1.-THE System" exists because the
head of the police knows so little about
what the men under him are dong.
Much chronicled flying trips in automo-
biles from headquarters to station
houses in an effort TO catch the force
mapping are striking illustration of
the real darkness of those in authority
regarding the efficiency of those over
whom they are supposed to exercise
command

We need instruction to enable us to use the

1861 and 1865 the men who were in rebellion
against the central government at Wash

their arms they ceased to be rebels We
recognized this on the spot. and from the
day when they came into the Union camps,
all over the South, on their way to their
old homes, we welcomed them as COM

and our food. Since then. through our vari-
Gus posts, We have fraternized with them
in every possible way and have answered
every appeal to aid them in founding SOL
diers' homes in their land for ex-Confed-
