PAY OF MINISTER'S.

Ministers Of the gospel threaten
to crowd the country editor off the
lowest rung of the ladder as being
the poorest paid brain workers.
Statistics complied by the bureau
Of the census show that the average
salary paid to ministers in the
United states is 1868 a year.
Since those who point out the
steep and thorny road to heaven and
lead the way are usually furnished
with an uafurnished house, the
minister leads the country editor by
lap.
The divine injunction that Man
lives not by bread alone" would
almost seem to have been taken by
Christians as a warrant for keeping
the preacher on the verge Of want
Whether the missionaries in for
eign fields shared any better in the
matter of salary, the report just
issued does not say. It's disclosure
the world is used guardedly-is con
fined to ministers working in the
home field.
The Unitarians. Presbyterians
Episcopalians and Jewish congrega'
tons seem to be comparatively
liberal in the provision made for the
1rport of their clergy. The salaries
range upward of 800 a month.
But as for the others. the con
gregation see to it there is no danger

In the face OF his avowed policy,
expounded on the platform and in
his messages. affecting 70 stand on
platform of retrenchment. President
Taft himself has wantonIy thrown
away more than the liberal allowance
Of congress for public parade.
Il is due to mention as a historical
fact that This is the first time in the
history OF the country that any presi-
dent has left Washington in the hurry
and rush of the closing session of
congress. to go on a stump speaking
tour. Every intelligent citizen, who is
not hidebound partisan. can com
ment to suit his convictions.
President Taft, since his Inaugural
tion. has always acted as If he felt
that he is the president of his party,
and not the president Of all Of the
people.
When congress voted the president
about $4,000 a year for his salary
and clerk hire and white house ex-
penses. and added $4,000 to his sal
airy and $4,000 more for travelling
expenses, the president should have
recognized the fact that this money
is raised by the taxation Of all Of
the people, and that, as president,
he should not use any of the money
to travel over the country to the
neglect of his official duties in order
TO make political speeches in the
interest of any party.
There is more business for a pro
fessional cut-to-the-quick economist
in Washington than the president
could possibly attend TO should he
put in all of his time. For instance,
there is great waste in the senate
expenditures that the president
could stop with only a few Gliding
words.
