growth in exports Of manufactures

the foreign and domestic inquiry for

displays less sensitiveness to financial

the last fiscal year and spent s2oo,0oo,-

after. when a teacher applies for GER

tute.

affairs, It il not meddling to call at
tention to the fact that ono Of the
greatest difficulties In the way of the
churches in the matter Of securing a
sufficient supply Of efficient and ca
pable men for the passionate is the in
adequacy OF the compensation offered,
and, in many cases, the uncertainty OF
prompt payment Of even the lowest
amounts agreed upon. One ceases to
be surprised that the number Of really
capable young men who contemplate
entering the ministry is decreasing
while the field is continually expand

the average salary of the clergy is not
a living wage. much less one that en-
ables provision against the needs OF
the time Of retirement from the pro-
fession, or even the emergencies liable
at any time to rise in the midst of his
active years. The churches need TO
give fuller consideration than at least
many of them have done to the fact
that the increased cost Of living
presses as hardly on the pastor as it
does on any member Of his congrega-
tion and that to be worthy of having
a pastor, the church must take this
fact into consideration and provide ac-
cordingly. 1t is true that some of the
denominations are making provision
for the support Of those who by age
or infir7nity are compelled to retire, but
in no church has that annuity reached
the amount that can bring a comfort
able support, which fact makes it all
the more necessary that the present
stipend should be put at figures which
will do something more than merely
meet current necessities.

WANTS DECEMBER PRIMARY.
Nevada Representa- tivel.
SO many representative papers and
PEOPLE in the state have now given ex-
preston in favor of a presidential! pri-
mary in Iowa, that there is growing =
Aattering prospect that arrangements
may ultimately be effected for such a
primary. There is no question that the
opponents OF President Taft in the
state are in favor Of the proposition,
and his supporters generally say that
they are. The only question is TO
agree on details and TO hold to the
proposition thar Tire Taftites who first
brought it forward. Ore detail. how
ever. in the current discussion does not
suit US al all. That is to hold the pri-
mary in March. Possibly that date VIII
do il an earlier one can not be secured:
but our preference is very strongly for
December. the second Monday in that
month being the date that occurs TO
US as most convenient.
In this matter Of date is. involved
very much OF the issue whether the
presidential nomination is ultimately
to be a question for the people or for
the officeholders. The officeholdinS
contingent in Alabama have already
held what they call state convention
and have chosen delegates at large 20
the national republican convention, in
structed for Taft and the same con-
tingent turnout the non-repub!ican
states is ready to rush forward with
similar support. Whether the dele
gates chosen in Alabama are III fact
! entitled to seats in the convention is
something we do not know; but the
presumption is that their title is very
shadowy and will require the ratifica-
ton of the national committee, which
ratification will depend largely on the
turn of events in the nation generally;
but the action in Alabama is typical OF
what may be expected in similar
states
