ADS. AND TEAS FILL CHURCH
Pastor Credits His Success Also to
Hot suppers, Moving Pictures
and Flags.

Spokane, Wash.-T have drawn
people to hear my sermons by ad-
vertising. | have attracted them with
moving pictures. hot suppers. pink
teas and flowers and fiags. II I have
had any degree of success in Spokane.
II Is because OF the liberal use OF
printers ink" said Rev. DR.. James
w Kramer. pastor OF the First Bap-
tist church. who came to Spokane
from South Carolina two years ago.
There is something worse than
sensationallsm. II is the inability or
the church to produce life. The church
that does not advertise is behind the
times and is nursing empty pewa.
and he who rails against the minister
for advertising is suffering for
congregation.
Il am not an advocate OF ragtime
methods or vulgar preaching, but
do plead for the church which is a
humming plant OF machinery, with
live Goals in the firebox, smoke curl
Ing from the stack and every belt.
wheel and pulley going.
II believe, too, that the people need
instruction and that a minister of
the gospel is first, last and all the
time teacher. There must be life"

BY j. I'D. WATSON

HE United Master Butchers Association
of the State of New York comes out strongly
against the Beef Trusts raise in prices, and
the Association demands that the tariff on
meats be repealed.
In commenting on the increase in price
from 914 to 13 cents per pound the butchers
say:
We demand the elimination of tariffs on ami
mails used as human food, and that we attribute
the higher cost of living to great extent to the
tariff on the necessaries of life, and principally
that on meats
The butchers 60 little bit further and saw
that the Beef Trusts methods are little short
of highway robbery. They would have hit
the nail on the head with a big, heavy ham
mer if they had said ''the Beef Trusts meth
DDS are highway robbery
For months we have been hammering on
the idea that the tariff was the cause of the
nigh price of living. That the Payne Aldrich
tariff RODS the poor man and enriches the
Trusts
Time and time again have we tried to ex
plain what the Beef Trust was doing-un
der the present tariff, -shutting out all COM
petition and fixing its own prices
AS is shown by the Butchers Association.
the Beef Trust forces the American consumer
to pay an exhOrbitant price for his meat. be-
cause CnaC from Canada, Mexico, the Aroen-
tine Republic and Australia is shut out from
our markets by the tariff And at the same
time the Beef Trust is robbing the American
consumer; it is shipping meat from Chicago
to European markets and selling it for sew
eral cents pound less than the man in Chi
cago, St. Louis, New York, Atlanta or Au
gusta pays for the same class of meat
THE recent indictments against the gang
OF cotton SPECTATORS headed by James A.
Patten, the man who made millions gambling
on the wheat crop, bids fair to give these
gentlemen a little trouble.
Contrary to the cry of indignation and in
Justice Of certain Southern editors against
these indictments, the conviction of the Pat
ten pool would not hurt the Southern farmer.
While it is true that the bear cliques that
try to hammer down the price of cotton ought
to be put IN the sweat-box, too, it would be
good thing for the farmer if both sets of Wall
Street gamblers, Bears and Bulls, were put in
prison.
Patten has not tried to advance the price
OF cotton for the sake of helping the farmer.
In fact practically every bale Of cotton was

man if he confines himself strictly to the lin
its of the legitimate.
Take the Solicitor General of circuit
His salary is not fixed and certain, as is that
of the Judge. Why shouldn't it be? What
use is there In paying the Judge in one man
ner, and the Solicitor in another? Why not
let the Judge fix his fees according to the
case that he tries? Such a proposition would
meet with instant condemnation. Yet the OBJ
jections to it are not more. potent than those
which can be brought against the fee system
which operates In favor of the Solicitor. The
temptation to multiply indictments, and to
manage certain cases with view to increas-
ing the revenues of the Solicitors office are
almost irresistible AS a matter of fact a
careful observer can see that, in a ma ority of
cases, the business of the Solicitors depart
ment is managed with an eye to revenue. IF
he were paid a salary, it would be entirely
different.
In the case of the higher County officers,
where the fee bill admits of no dispute, and
where it is open to the inspection of every
body, abuses are not so apt to creep in. But
in the case of magistrates and constables of
the Justices courts, we have another branch
of public service where these abuses can be-
come exceedingly oppressive. The reputation
of the city justice, and the city bailiff, smells
to Heaven. These officers are accused of all
manner of petty extortion. Those who are
least able to afford pillage are mercilessly
pillaged Taking advantage of the office,
these bailiffs carry things with high hand,
and are seldom exposed and punished. The
victims are generally too weak and too desti-
tute and too friendless to protest Conse-
quently they have to submit, and their pitiful
story seldom gets into the newspapers. Even
when they do, the reader is powerless to do
more than to give vent to his honest indig-
nation
A swift certain remedy would be the aboli-
ton entirely of the fee system, and the put
ting of all public servants upon the salary
basis. This would be perfectly fair to the
officer, and perfectly just to the people. The
officer would know, before he sought the Of
flee, exactly what it would pay him. If the
salary isn't sufficient, according to his judg-
ment, he will not try for the office. If it is
sufficient, that is a question which he has set
tied in his own mind before he accepts the
place, and, therefore, he will be satisfied after
he gets it. Not having the opportunity which
a Congressman has to dip his fingers into
public money, and thus increase his own
wages without consulting his employers, he
will make virtue of necessity, and take no
more than he expected.
AS to the people, they certainly have the
right to know beforehand what the officer is
to get. They should not be kept in the dark
as to the salary. They should be certain of
the fact that the compensation cannot be ar
bitrarily and Illegally increased.
