ROCKEFELLER MORAL CRUSADE
Young John ID. Ready to Spend His
Money to Purge Gotham.

New York, May 23.--The Rookie
feller family Is used to big undertak-
ings, but the task Of purging New
York city, which young John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., has taken upon him
self, is one which has taxed and dis
couraged reformers Of great variety
for many years.
The results Of Mr.. Rocekfeller's
efforts so far are:
Belle Moore, white slave dealer,
is In jail awaiting sentence next
week.
Two others, charged with being
white slave dealers, are under :mdict-
ment.
Six Raines law hotels of shady
reputation in the tenderloin have
fallen under police ban, and Mayor
Gaynor will ask that their licenses
be revoked
Has Not Yet Begun to Fight.
And Mr.. Rockefeller declares that
he has not yet begun TO fight. AL
ready his expenditures are said to
be above 100000 in his crusade
against the vice in New York. With
the practical mind Of trained bust
ness man he has gone after crime
with business-like methods. Setting
aside sum of $4,000, which will
be replaced with another $4,000 and
many other sums of the same size If
needed, he employed private agents
to Investigate and report everything
found to District Attorney Whitman.
Then Mr.. Rockefeller called upon
the district attorney in person and
followed this up with call upon
Mayor Gaynor, when he told both
officials that he was anxious, as a
good citizen, to use his wealth and
influence to stamp out the vice which
has been shown to exist here.
Mr.. Rockefeller was so Mortified
with the revelations made before the
special grand jury, of which he was
foreman, that he is determined to
earnest young man with square
jaw and plenty Of money, he is maxi
ing 1T hotter now for the tenderloin
dwellerS than any other crusader who
ever attempted to purge New York.
The arrests Of the keepers Of
Raines law hotels in the tenderloin
was direct result Of the hearings OF
the special Rockefeller grand jury.
Among the numberless young dere-
licts of women and girls who were
rounded up as witnesses before the
grand jury many of them made state
ments concerning the hotels in ques-
ton. Mr.. Rockefeller was not con-
tent then to allow this material to
go to waste as irrelevant. 1t prompt
ed him in his desire to cleanse New
York.
Other members of the grand jury
passed by the testimony of many of
the women as unimportant because
1t had no direct bearing upon white
slavery. But not SO with Mr.. Rookie
feller. 1t was not long afterward
until he informed Mayor Gaynor that
the hotels mentioned by the women
ought to be closed. Mayor Gaynor
knew nothing Of them as no COM
plants had been made, so he order
ed a police investigation. This re-
suited in material evidence.
Mr.. Rockefeller is reticent about
the work he Is doing. He will not
even admit that he is trying to re-
form New York by wiping out the
stains Of the vicious hotels and white
slavery.
81 am doing just what every good
citizen ought to do, and If happen
to have money that is good fortune,
for it means can do more work with
it," says the scion of the house of
Rockefeller and the son Of the
worlds richest man.

$GG3 YEARLY FOR PREACHERS.
That IS the Average Minister'S Salary
in the United States.


Washington, May 26-The average
, annual salary Of minister of the
Gospel in the United States Is $500.
On this amount the average head Of
a Christian flock must feed and
clothe himself and family-he being
usually provided with homeland
educate his children.
The statistics compiled by the Blu
reau Of Census and set forth in the
| bulletin on the census Of religious
bodies Of the United States for 1906,
show that the highest average sala-
ries to preachers are paid by the Uni
tarians, the amount being $1,653.
Next in order comes the Protestant
Episcopal, with $1,242. The Jewish
congregations pay an average of
81, ,222, and the Presbyterians $1,177.
The Universalists pay 1,23S.
The figures obtained in this bulle-
tin were obtained partly by cores
pondence and partly by special
agents. 1t is stated by William c.
Hunt, under whose supervision the
| bulletin was prepared, that the re-
suits are not entirely satisfactory,
owing to the failure of some minis
ters to report their salary, and of 9TH
ers to report with sufficient clearness.
OF the grand total Of 1856 denomi-
nations in continental United States,
the report states that ID have no reg
ular ministry and 60 either pay no

were not sufficiently complete to war

"RuLE OF THE MAJORITY"

In all of his defences before the people of his own management or the House of Representatives ana the course of the regulars" in the
 republican party, Speaker Cannon
 has stood upon the proposition that, under a system of party gov,
 ernment such as that of the Uni'eo States, the policy of the majority party must prevail, and that what shall be the course of policy adopt ed by the majority must be deter mined within its own organization which means the party caucus where again the majority must prevail. All of which is very true But MT. Cannon did not go so Tar in his Illumination as he should nave gone. It is the duty of the major ity of the majority party to keep the party in the majority in the coun- try at large, and avoid driving the minority into insurgency or drlV' ing their constituencies over to the opposite party. There has been the great mistake of Mir. Cannon, Senator Aldrich, ct al: They have posed as assuming that the lnsur- gent republican senators and re- pr1sentatlves were actuated oy pure cussedness in their opposition to the course of the caucus malor' ity upon certain legislation, when those insurgents were struggling to maintain their places in public life and to keep the republican party in the majority in Congress ana Tn management of the affairs ol the Nation. Such men as Senators La Toilette, Beveridge, Bristow, Cum mins, Clapp and Deliver, and Representatives Madison, Murdoch, Lenroot and Poindexter do not kick over the party traces unless behind them there is an impelling motive in the attitude of their res pective constituencies. They had to "insurge" or leave public life

Messrs. Cannon and Aldrich the
 result would have been democrats in Congress in their places. The way they have received the appro-
 val of their constituencies in the recent primary elections, and the wy in which Senator Burrows of Michigan and Senator Piles of Washington, standpatter3, have been turned down by the people in
 ftvor of Poindexter and Townsend
 insurgent representatives who will. succeed them, demonstrates very plainly the tremendous force be. hind insurgency. Had Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich with their we'll drilled following in the House and Senate, and their superh organization, been statesmen thev would have seen beneath the sur. face and recognized that insurp- ency was simply the voice of the people, and needing that voice, they would not be bewailing now such results as the Maine election. In that state there were no insurgent congressman to lead a revolt within the republican party, so republi. cans by thousands trooped over to the democratic ticket, elected a de- mocratic governor and legislature. which latter will elect democra to succeed Eugene Hale in the United States senate. Had there been an insurgent republican con- gressman in Maine to go forward against Hale in the primary cleo. tions, as Congressman Townsend went against Senator Burrows in Michigan, the story might have been different. In New Hampshire where they have direct primaries, the insurgent republican candidate for governor had 2 clear majority over both regular and democratic candidates. The result of the re. cent election in Maine does mol signify that the people of that state trust the democratic party one whit move than heretofore II means simply that electing a de. mocratiJ legislature was the only way at hand to express their dis approval of Aldrichism, Cannonisn and the evils brought upon tn, country and the republican party by the arbitrary methods O those with whom power had been entrusted by the republican party
 In 1908 Ohio gave Taft mor, than one hundred thousand maior ity over Bryan. Yet that grea
 majority represented only thre, per cent of the total vote of in, state. A change of that three pel cent to Bryan would have oiver the electoral vote of Ohio to tht democratic candidate. At the same time the people of Ohio elected
 Harmon, the democratic candidat
 for governor by handsome ma jority. One is justified in believ

policy at Washington should have read in those two circumstances warning that it is three per cent of the voters who make up party ma ;or;ties in any state who have got to be placated if success is to be maintained.
 Tn 1882 Grover Cleveland was elected governor of New York by | to2 900 majority, overturning a
 .iority for his predecessor of , obont 30,000. Yet the change in inc vote was not five per cent. And ,be change was not an increase in tbo democratic vote so much as a falling off in the republican vote of the state. Republicans were disgusted with their leadership, Q nd would not turn out to vote for # And it is in that element that lies the majority in the republican n narty. It is all right to talk about inc majority ruling within the narty. But that majority must c,nduct itself so that the party can keep in line the vote which gives it majority at the polls.
 The rift in the republican party which was visible in the election in Ne York in 1882 was but the re- snlt of the struggle made by the "stalwarts" as they called them- aelves, to force upon the party the nomination of General Grant for a third term as president. They took to themselves also the sobriquet of "the Old Guard" and were fond of narading the words that Victor
 
 Hugo put into the mouth of Cam hronne at Waterloo-"the Old Guard dies but never surrenders. D It is very pretty sentiment for
 inc field of battle in actual war where the annihilation of unit
 may save an entire army; but in
 the field of politics where the units are all needed at the polls, such fus- tian is tiresome, and upon hearing f. the accurate student of politics and history is prone to reply to
 Hugo's version with the words Cambronne actually uttered that
 historic day at Waterloo when summoned to surrender by General , Halkett. (The fact is that Cam. bronne did surrender to Halkett( [ Tn the Chicago convention of 1880 the stalwarts went down before the

remained at nome and gave the state to Cleveland in 1882; and in 1884. the "Old Guard" retaliated. defeating Blaine and making Cleveland president. In 1888 peace was patched long enough to elect Harrison president; but in 1892 Cleveland was again returned to the White House, backed by ma. ijority in both houses of Congress.
 With every advantage of position the democracy could not grasp the golden opportunity. Elected uvon pledge of tariff revision the dem, ocratic party set about the dele gated task of making new tariff act. It is q matter of history how the democratic president refused to sioned the Wilson tariff bill, and in a special message to Congress branded it as an instrument of party perfdy and dishOnor." Moreover in a time of profound neaca tAe Cleveland administration woo oomnelled to make a bond issue to stop an alarming deficit in the public treasury. Instead of inviting popular bids and letting the public have the bonds directly from the treasury at goodly pre- mium, as the government ot France vopld have done, the bonds were sold at a very small premium to the great financial house of Morgan which in turn sold them to the public at high premium, swelling it's plethoric coffers by several mil. lions of dollars that should have gone into the public treasury.
 The rise to power of the demo- cratic party under Grover Cleve- land through the defection of the reoular republicans in New York state in 1884, and later in 1892 and similar revolts within the ranks of the democratic party had q decided educational influence mon the people throughout the country, and during those years they discovered that in both the rennblican and democratic parties the greatest sticklers for party reg ularitv were regular only when they were in control, that wheD they did control their own party in power the administration stood always for the same things prac' tically as did that of the other party when in power, that the reg, nlars in either party preferred greatly having in power the F'su' onnnosko voo rfu than the insurgents of their own, and that any change in governmental policy decreed by the people in rejecting one party and elevating the other
 wos q change in name only ana accomplished nothing. Then there ere downed upon the minds Of the neople that party regularity was sham. and that they could sTl''O
