POORLY PAID PREACHERs.

The average salary of a minister Of
the gospel IN the United States in 1906
was $663, according to the census re-
port for that year. The figures are
from cities having a population of
$4,000 and over in 1900.
Some of the denominations paid
their pastors fairly well, the Unitari-
ans showing the highest average
$1,s5S.
The clergymen have always claimed
that they were underpaid, and the
census figures prove their contention
The average being only 1858, some of
them must labor in the vineyard for
little or nothing.
We all like to be piloted along the
straight and narrow way, and we call
upon the man Of God to visit the sick
and bury the dead, but few Of US ever
arrive at that state Of grace when we
cheerfully contribute to the support
of the preacher.

MARRIED AN AMERICAN.

Miss Mary Hartman, who inherits
many millions from her father, the
late E. H. Hartman, did not join her
American sisters in the hunt for a
foreign title. Instead. she married
q young business man Of Buffalo, New
York.
The ceremony took place in little
Episcopal church at Arden. and there
was no vulgar display Of wealth on
the one side or equally vulgar curiosity
On the other, such as occurred when
a daughter Of Marcus DAILY was united
to a foreign count In New York.
The daughter of Hartman is TO be
congratulated upon her choice Of &
husband in the first place. and then
upon her good taste in having the
ceremony performed in the little
church near the country home.
American girls are not all tuft hunt
ers after all.

BOLT IN TENNESSEE.

II there is one candidate for office
in the United States deserving of de-
feat at the polls that man is Malcolm
r. Patterson, governor of Tennessee.
who recently tried to coerce the su-
preme court Of that state in the
Cooper murder case.
Heretofore, the Tennessee judges
have been selected at a separaee
judicial convention. This time, how
ever, Governor Patterson, who con-
trolls the Democratic state committee,
tried TO force the judges to offer
themselves with other candidates for
state offices al DvluoD4.-..- .,..44ldry.
The judges refused to be sacrificed
in any such manner, or TO make q

DEPOSIT WITH UNCLE SAM.

Now that there is a fairly good
prospect Of the postal savings bank
bill passing the House, information is
being filtered through the press to
the effect that the government is al
ready running savings banks In a
limited sense.
It is a habit with many persons,
especially foreigners, to purchase
money orders payable to themselves,
instead of making deposits in state,
national or private banks.
The postmaster at Seattle, Wash,
files in the money order department
of his office recently. and was
astounded to discover that there were
500 persons in that city who had de-
posted s269,OOO with him.
The experience of the Seattle post
master is probably not exceptional,
and Uncle Sam doubtless acts as
banker for many thousands of peo-
pie. The foreigners in this country
are suspicious, as a rule, and have
discovered that by buying money
orders with their extra cash there is
no possibility Of their losing it. So
they give the banks a wide berth.
They would rather deposit their
surplus IN the postoffice, accepting
money oruers for it and paying 80
cents per 500 for the privilege, than
to place it in a bank where a small
rate of interest would be added to the
principal.
So it may be truthfully said that
the government Is running postal saw
ings banks at the present time.

but there has been a steady although
unobtrusive advancement IN legisIa-
ton looking toward the prevention of
marriage between those physically and
mentally unfit.
There should be laws passed which
will make 1t impossible for the
habituaI, hopeless criminal, the per
son showing incipient idiocy or in
sanity, or the tuberculosis patient, to
get married and transmit that disease
to descendants.
'"The working out of a plan that
would make those things entirely feas-
ible is, Of course, a hard proposition.
It might be possible for a man and
a woman to have the certificate of
their family physician as a guarantee
that they were fitted for marriage. 1t
would probably be necessary to estab-
Iish a sort Of marriage commission in
each state or large city, the members
of which would decide on each ap-
piicant."
There are good grounds for the
position taken by the bishop. Only a
few days ago a marriage knot was
tied in Salt Lake, the man IN the case
being handcuffed to a deputy mar
shall at the time the ceremony was
performed. The girl in the case had
been wronged, and the man married
her on the eve of starting for the fed
eral prison to begin a sentence Of
two and one-half years for counter
feiting.
This is one Of the cases IN which
the law proposed by the bishop would
have been applied. The girl has been
set right before the world only in a
certain sense. In reality she Is no
better off than she was before.
Some OF the states have been NOV
Ing along the lines indicated by Bishop
McVicar. but all efforts to have a
national marriage and divorce law
have so far proved futile, and It is
doubtful If any OF the present genera
ton win live long enough to see Con-
gress take such action.

is TT A FILIBUsTER?

Hints are being thrown out that
the insurgent senators are trying to
talk the railroad bill 10 death. Each
amendment appears to be good for
any number of Iong-winded speeches,
and the change Of a single word or
sentence usually consumes the. time of
an entire days session
The fiIbuster theory may be
wrong. yet there are good grounds
for the belief that LaFollette, Cum
minis and some of the others are not
entirely honest in the matter Of pro-
posing amendments.
The railroad bill Is recognized as
an administration measure. The in
surgents are at "outs" with President
Taft. If they can defeat the bill, the
executive will be thwarted to tn .,
extent IN making good the promises
of the Republican party.
Just now the Iowa senators are
fighting the party IN their home state
on the tariff question, which is the
true test Of Republicanism. In plac-
ing distractions in the way Of the
railroad bill, their actions are open
to the suspicion that they intend to
do all the damage they can before
the cyclone hits them.
Ordinarily it is a difficult matter to
apply cloture In the Senate, the upper
house being so deliberative that UPON
occasions it fails TO arrive at a con-
clusion before the gavel falls on the
day OF adjournment. Some bad
measures have been killed in this
manner, and some good ones have
likewise persisted.
With a clear majority over the
Democrats and insurgents, the regu-
lar Republicans should shut off the
interminable debate and pass the rail-
road bill-filibuster or no filibuster.

WHY HE WOULDN'T SHOOT.

A deputaIion OF three soldiers once
came to the late DR.. Lueger to make
some kind Of a request in their be-
half. The burgomaster of Vienna
turned to one of the soldiers with the
following inquiry: What would you
do If the Kaiser commanded you to
shoot the burgomaster
ct would shoot him." said the SOL
der.
''Sol" exclaimed DR.. Lueger, land
what is your religion?"
II am q Protestant
DR.. Leuger spoke to the second SOL
der.
What would you do If the Kaiser
commanded you to shoot the burgo-
master?"
Then I would shoot him." said
the soldier.
''And what is your religion7" ?

The burgomaster turned to the
third soldier

Kaiser commanded you to do so?"
NO." said the soldier.

TRADE INCREASES

The government at Ottawa has
been comparing the growth of the
trade Of Canada with the principal
countries of the world during a period
OF forty years, and has discovered that
the Dominion occupies third place in
the list.
The forty-year period from 1868 to
1908 was used for purposes of COM
parison. Japan was found to occupy
first place, Argentine second and
Canada third, as stated. But forty
years ago Japan had comparatively
little foreign trade, amounting, all
told, to s27,0OO,0OO, with population
at that time of a little over 33.OO0.OOO.
Canada had a population of about
200 in 1868. On q per capita
basis, Japan shows a trade increase
Of only S.19 per cent, while Canada's
per capita total trade Increase of 1908,
as compared with 1868, was 1888.
Upon further analysis of the per
capita trade increase Of the principal
countries Of the world, Belgium stands
first, the United Kingdom second,
Argentine Republic third, Denmark
fourth and Canada fifth.
OF course. the trade of the United
States has also increased enormously
in the past forty years, but so has
the population OF the country. On
a per capita basis, therefore, we are
among the "alsO rams"
The struggle for commercial su-
premacy has only fairly begun. Japan
in the Orient and Argentina in South
America are rapidly forging to the
front. and many other countries not
commercially active heretofore are
showing signs of life. Evidently there
are strenuous times ahead for this
country In the foreign markets if we
hold our own.

MARRIAGE OF DEFECTTVEs.

Bishop McVicar, head Of the Pro-
Island. declares that the physically
and mentally unfit should be pre-
vented BY national laws from marry

that a commission Of experts should
be appointed to pass upon the fitness
Of each would-be bride or bridegroom.

BLAAfEs THE PEDESTRIANS.

Pedestrians have no regard what
ever for The automobiles, street cars,
or other vehicles" says Mayor Brans-
ford. The street cars and other
vehicles may be left out Of the dis
cussion as being in no way connected
with the series of automobile accidents
occurring in Salt Lake this spring.
Motormen on street cars do not
make q habit Of seeing how fast they
can go, and are confined to a single
track. The drivers Of other vehicles
are kept so busy keeping out OF the
way of the autos (they don't always
succeed) that q procession Of pedes-
trians cuts no figure with them.
The mayor enjoys auto riding, and
has doubtless been compelled to slow
ND in order to avoid killing or MAIN
ing some unfortunate wight in the
path of his elegant and costly ma
chine. It's very annoying to be spin
ming along at a fast clip, care free
and at peace with all the world. and

Our heart bIeeds for the mayor and
all others who entertain these public
be damned" notions. Nevertheless
and Notwithstanding, his honor erred
when he declared that pedestrians
have no regard whatever for the auto
mobile" They do have regard for
them, and a wholesome fear and
dread, as well
When the horn toots the pedestrian
fuups. as Mayor BransTord well
knows. That sometimes the unfor-
tunate individual becomes confused,
Jumps the wrong way and gets run
over, thus contributing to the acct
dent cannot be denied IF he sur
wives. however, he has more regard
than ever for the automobile, although
personal regard for the driver may be
licking.
Mayor Bransford claims that pedes-
TRANS have no right Of way over auto
mobiles and common carriers. The
latter should not be dragged in. as
there is no complaint against them
As to the right of way, the mayor is
right in saying that the pedestrian
does not possess It 1t belongs en-
tirely to the automobile, at least, that's
the way 1t works out. The pedestrian,
being unable to butt the machine into
the ditch, gets out Of the road with
all possible speed, end the automobile
takes the right Of way.
On the street crossings, in the heart
of the city, there is no great difference
IN the working out of this right Of
way matter. The automobile takes
IT for the aforementioned reason.
1t is useless for Mayor Bransford
or anyone else to attempt to put the
blame for the accidents on the VIC
tins. They wouldn't get run over If
they could help It.
The truth is that the automobiles
are driven through the streets too fast.
and that more accidents are bound to
occur unless something is done to pre-
vent them. The mayor says condf-
tons In regard to street traffic are
going II be changed, that 1--WE are
going to have an ordinance which
Will provide for the checking IF vi. =
Iations Of rules Of the road and speed,

Well and good, but check the speed
the first thing. and the rest of the
program regarding the violation of
the rules Of the road won't be so
badly needed.

PEOPLE SEE COOPER DAILY

During l.. r.. Cooper's recent stay

His success was so phenomenal as
10 cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. There must
be a reason Tor this. Here is the rea-
son given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the sub
ject. He said:
The immense numbers OF people
who are calling on me here in Bos-
ton is not unusual. ] have had the
same experience FOR the past two
years wherever | have gone. The rea-
son is a simple one. 1t is because m
medicine puts the stomach in good
condition. This does not sound I'M
usual, but 1t is in fact the key to
health. The stomach is the very
foundation of life. l attribute 90 per
cent of all sickness directly to the
stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with a poor digestive APP
paratus. Few can be sick with a d.
gestion in perfect condition. As a
matter of fact, most men and women
today are half-sick. 1t is because too
much food and too little exercise have
gradually forced the stomach into a

FEARS HELD
FOR FRUIT CROP
Drop in Temperature
Yesterday Afternoon Causes
the 0rchardiStS to Worry
Weather Change General in
Central New Mexico.

Grave fears were held last night by
~orchardists in and around Albuquer-
Que for the safety OF the fruit crop.
as q result of the sharp drop in tenn
pcrature which occurred shortly af-
ter noon. accompanied by a high
wind. The lowered temperature pre-
dicted from Washington Saturday
night, came right on time. The cold
wave is o expected to be of long dur
alton and should pass today. If this
occurs 1t is felt that the fruit will
probably pull through this first bad
day of the spring season.
Yesterdays wind storm was the first
serious one of this spring which thus
far has been mild. The weather
change was general in central New
Mexico the drop in temperature being
uniform between Bernalillo and So
zorro.
