A bulletin Just issued by the census
bureau gives large body Of interest
ing figures about ministers salaries
The total is impressive; it appears that
the amount to be paid by all denomina-
tions during the present year approaches
500, 100000. The prizes of the calling
salaries paid by wealthy churches IN
the Ea5t-make a striking showing.
There are a dozen or more ministers
who are paid $4,000, and several who
are paid $4,000; and there is the in
stance of one who was offered $4,000,
with house rent, and who refused.
With such notable emoluments before
The eye, one cannot but attach less
value to statements-even official ones
about "average" salaries through
out the country. This average, involv-
ing some 10000 ministers, works out,
according to the bulletin, at 1868. These
figures are very misleading and decep-
tive. We do not ask how the preacher
in the small town or in the country av-
erage up with the help of the metro
politan stars, but how he actually fares
on his own account. A single item
from the bulletin throws considerable
Light: Baptist preachers throughout the
South average but $334-and but 1927
if colored. Again we are engaged with
an average" but if the average it
self is so low, what must the minimum
be?
For the dozen largest cities of the
country the average, with the various
denominations, is about $4,000 Wheth
er this average is relatively higher, all
considered, than that prevailing in the
country districts may well be doubted.
In either case the cost of living is adj
vancing faster than the scale of pay;
the families of the clergy have to be
maintained, and neither the gross total
of salaries paid by the whole country
nor the unusual recognition given TO
exceptionally able and brilliant men
should be allowed to obscure the fact
that the reward of the preacher still
remains very small compared with that
gained by men in other professions and
in business. What will the congrega-
tions do toward increasing it?-Record-
Herald.

The contractors for the new city hall
will have to wait for their money until
the proceeds of the bond issue are
paid into the treasury but when this
money is available as it soon will be
there can be no objection to giving
the builders their pay as fast as they
can show that they have earned it,
holding back enough, of course, to put
the city on the safe side when the adj
justments of claims and differences
comes at the finish.

does for its firemen. When one of them
is temporarily disabled his pay goes on;
when permanently disabled he is pen
stoned The pay Of men laid up through
fighting forest fires should 60 on. That
is one thing congress should do without
delay. Another is to increase the mum

it been larger there would not have
been SO many fire-swept acres of forest

The voters may have split their bal
lots every which way in voting, but all
of them remembered to vote for some
body for every place on the ticket and
it was evident that the great majority
of them had the twenty per cent law
in mind when they went to the polling
places. The danger that the parties
would not cast the number of votes re-
quired to get the names of their can
didates on the ballot for the regular
election was seen to have been largely
imaginary so far as this county was
concerned as soon as the returns were
in from the first wards. The last can
didates on the list ran well up with
the leaders and in some cases the tail
enders got the highest number cast in
the town or ward.

TALK OVER EARLIER INDUSTRIES
Dozen Men Who Have Been Active in
the Upbuilding of Great Leather In
dustry Pay Tribute To Retiring
President.

There was noteworthy gathering of
pioneers In the tanning industry in
Kenosha at the home of Charles w.
Allen on Chicago street Wednesday eve
ming when a dozen of the men long
connected with the n. r. Allen S Sons
tannery gathered at the Allen home to
take some action on the retirement of
Charles w. Allen who has been presi-
dent of the company since its incor-
poration nearly ten years ago and who
has been connected with the industry
since 1870. The coming of his former
associates in business was complete
surprise to Mr.. Allen and the gather
ing was wholly an informal one. Dur
ing the evening Mr.. Allen was pre-
sented with splendid silver loving
cup by the older men at the plant
as a token of the high esteem these
men felt for the retiring president. The
short speech of presentation was made
by Matthias Werve the general super
intendent Of the plant whose service
from point of years has been longer
than that of any one now connected
with the big leather making plant. Mr..
Werve has been connected with the tan
merry for more than ifty-three years and
in presenting the loving cup to Mr..
Allen he declared that it came as a
gift from men who had watched with
great interest the growth of the in
dustry which had been started by pion-
of the men at the gathering had given
their entire business life. Mr.. Allen
was overcome with emotion by the
splendid gift but he responded most
cordially to the men declaring that the
industry had grown largely through the
loyalty of the men who had worked
shoulder to shoulder not only with him
self but with his father and brother
in the effort to make Kenosha tanner
les among the greatest in the world.
The handsome silver cup bore the
names of eleven men and they had
all been workmen and foremen, and of
fcials of the company for from eight
to SO years. The list of names in
scribed on the cup includes M. Werve,
Joseph Wierschem, Bernard McGivern,
E. G. Theirs, Joseph Tacki, George
Nicoll, William H. Schroeder, A. y.
Westeen, F. G. Ripplemeyer, William
Jensen and Charles b. Werve, Follow
ing the presentation Mr.. Allen and the
members Of his family entertained his
guests informally at luncheon and
smoker.

BUILDING NEARLY COMPLETED
Gift Will Make It Possible TO Garry
Out All of the Original Plans Made
BY the Board of Directors of the
Institution

President T. G. Simmons of the Ke-
nosha Hospital association ON Wednes
day received check for ten thousand
dollars which he was asked to add to
gift from friend' interested in
the welfare of the hospital. The gift
came as complete surprise to the
directors of the institution and in keep
ing with the wishes of the donor the
name of the benefactor of the institu-
tlon will not be made known. Officials
of the Hospital association in speaking
of the matter today declared that the
request of the donor of the splendid
gift would be strictly observed and
that the contribution to the fund was
accepted as a "cash'' contribution.
This is one of the largest gifts ever
made to a. Kenosha institution and the
spirit of the giver in insisting that it
be made without publicity adds much
to the gift. Tt is admitted that the
donor was a resident of Kenosha and
person who has taken a great in
terest in the building of the new Ke-
nosha hospital The board Of directors
are deeply thankful for the gift.
The gift will make possible carrying
out all of the plans originally made for
the completion Of the hospital. When
the work was started on the new build
ing the members of the board of direc-.
tors lacked about $4,000 of the sum
estimated as necessary for the com
pleton OF the building in accordance
to the plans and this "cashD gift will
make it possible to go ahead with the
work. Now but $4,000 remains to be
raised and it is certain that the total
fund of nearly 100000 will be in the
hands of the board of directors before
the contractors are ready to turn over
the building.
The work on the building is progress
ing very rapidly and within few days
the work of putting on the finish in
the interior of the building will be
started. Hospital experts who have
visited the building declare that it is
one of the most complete institutions
Of the kind ever built in this section
of the country. 1t is certain that the
hospital will be one large enough to
take care Of the demands Of Kenosha
for many years.
No plans have as yet been made for
the dedication Of the new institution
but it will be opened with appropriate
ceremonies. The board of directors are
receiving many small gifts to aid in
the furnishing of the hospital and sew
eral leading men and women of the
city have notified the secretary of the
association that they will provide for
the furnishing of rooms in the build
ing The directors have also received
a host of smaller gifts to provide for
furnishings but the gifts to date viii
not nearly take care of the budget for
the furnishings and it is expected that
within the next few weeks the men
and women desiring to contribute will
send their contributions to Mrs, James
Cavanagh the secretary of the board
of directors or to NJ. g. Boerner, as
sistant cashier of the First National
Bank who is the treasurer.

1t is probable that bills establishing
a pension system for the men of the life
saving service and for the forest rang
ers will be introduced at the next SEES
sion of congress and the representatives
from the states benefited most by the
services of these two bodies of public
servants should have influence enough
to get these measures through. The peo
pie of the states bordering on the
oceans and great lakes are more or
less familiar with the work of
the life saving crews and recent
events have called the attention
of the whole country to the sudden and
great dangers which may confront the
forest rangers at any time and to the
splendid courage and resolution with
which they are met. Both occupations
are fully as hazardous as the lives of
the enlisted men of the army and navy
and according to the number of men
in the two services the percentage of
men killed on duty or permanently dis
abled by casualties incident to the ser
vice is fully as high as in the military
branches of the government. The
movement to secure adequqate recogni
tion Of the life savers and rangers, is
gathering force every day and promises
to become strong enough soon to force
action from congress, in the case of
Of the life savers already too long de-
layed. The Tribune has this to say of
the parsimonious policy of the govern
ment towards the men of the two SER
vices:
Congress, extravaganza in some direc-
lions and generous in others, has gone
to the extreme of penuriousness in its
treatment of some of those who are in
the employ of the government. The of
ten cited illustration of its meanness
is its refusal to pension the veterans
of the life saving service when they
are worn out, or when, though their
natural vigor may not be abated, they
have reached a certain age, and are cast
adrift. The secretary of the treasury
spoke in his last report of "the inius-
tice, not to say inhumanity, of thrust
ing upon the world men who in their
devoted service to the government have
become incapacitated for earning liv-
ing in any private vocation. Congress
paid no more attention to this appeal
than to previous ones.
Now we have another Illustration of
stinginess. One OF the conditions of
service with the forest rangers is ono
work, no pay" A mans pay is stopped
when he makes brief visit to fores-
try school 50 that he may become a
more valuable employee
Observe the consequences of this rigid
pay rule. Scores of foresters are in hos
pitfalls, permanently or temporarily dis
abled through injuries received while
lighting the forest fires in the north
west. They are more fortunate than
their comrades who lost their lives, but
they are penniless. The government
they served 50 well has left them to
their fate
The United States can afford to do as
much for its forest firemen as Chicago
