One of the papers read at the
meeting of the Rock Island Minister
ial alliance last week was by Mrs.
w. G. Oglevee, wife of the assistant
pastor of Broadway Presbyterian
church, on the subject, Should the
Minister'S Wife Have a Salary?"
Mrs. Oglevee's paper is as follows:
''I am not aware that the ques-
ton of offering salaries to the min
listers wives is being agitated in
Rock Island, but the committee as
signing our subjects perhaps caught
the class prophecy fever so prevail
ent at this season, and desired us to
look into the future and be ready
should the unexpected happen.
TT is not unusual for the. min
ister's wife to earn salary; it is
occasionally the case that she really
earns the salary which her better
half draws: but it is unusual, though
not unknown. for her to receive a
salary of her own. A church in Wis
consin pays its pastors wife a reg
ular salary from a legacy left for
that purpose.
There is surely no one who can
have a better right to wish for
money than the minister and those
in his home, for to them come more
pitiful appeals for aid than to al
most anyone else. The longing to
give when he is unable to do so is
one of the greatest trials of a min
listers life and is what keeps him
on the verge of bankruptcy most of
the time.

not above wanting pretty things for
but she is truly the exception IL she
does not desire money for the good
she can do with it far more than for
any selfish purpose.
"At first glance the idea OF sal
airy to most of us would seem decid-
eddy attractive, but to me it would
grow less and less so as / thought
of it and of the obligations that
would come with 1t. The minister's
wife's first place is that of his home
maker rather than that of his par
ish assistant. She is considered to
have less liberty than the average
woman of her standing in society and
should she accept a salary and there
by become a public servant, she
would lose that If she felt the re-
sponsibility as most of us would.
THE minister's wife, like any
other mans wife, is eager to help
her husband, and she does some
things chiefly to help him in his bus
mess as a pastor and preacher;
but, she does many more things be-
cause she is a Christian and a church
member and not all because she is
his wife. If she were paid a sal
airy, these acts would count for prac-
tically nothing. o. she's paid for
that would be said no matter how
self-sacrificing the service. Since
she really has no more obligation in
most ways to her church than has
any other member, her example if
she faithfully attends services and
does her share of work ought to
have the kind of value that dollars
can not measure.
80 far it has been my experience
that many other women of the con-
gregation take a far more active
part in most lines of the church

Yet the supreme court, in the Ne

venience of the public"
AS progressive legislation, a rail-
road regulation bill without a provis-
ion for physical valuation, is a farce.
The national democratic platform of
1908 declared in vigorous language for
"effi cient supervision and rate regula-
ton of railroads. and to that end
strongly recommended the taking of
physical valuation by the interstate
commerce commission.
But when it is considered that Har-
riman contributed 100000 to the re
publican campaign fund on behalf of
the railroads, that probably numerous
other railroad magnates advanced
equally large sums, and that the very
bill congress is about to place upon
the statute books was originally drawn
in New York and submitted to the rail
road interests before being introduced
in congress, it is not so strange that
the physical valuation amendments
received their death stabs even after
passed by a goodly majority in the
house of representatives.
