resent {?

In the progress of recent speech in the
Senate, the icy, insolent Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, declared himself intensely opposed
to the direct election of Senators by the peo-
pie He enriched his discourse by stating that
had the people of his state been allowed to
elect their Senator, he would not be in Con-
gress after the 4th of March.
In other Words Senator Lodge admits that
he does not represent the people of Massa-
chusetts Whom, then, does he represent?
The corporations, manifestly. But the Con-
stltution ontemplates q representation Of the
people.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Lodge confesses the shame
Of has position, he should resign We're he
man of any real pride Of character, he would
no more foist himself upon constituency
which does not want him, than he would visit
a home where he is an unwelcome guest.

true a man as ever trod hoe-leather. His
churches are Mt. Horep, Woodland, and Mt
Lebanon. The first pays him $4,000; the Sec

Doesn't it make your church tingle with a
blush of shame to read of such pitiful COM

the foreign missionary, with his princely
salary, his magnificent homes in the city and
country, and his houseful of mental servants?

KILLS HERSELF AND SON.

Woman Fulflls Promise Made to Her Dying
Husband.
Oxford, Maine Feb. 12.-In fulfllment of a
compact made with her husband during his lnger-
ing illness, which ended in death yesterday Mrs
Lynwood S. Keene took her life today after
having fatally shot her fourteen-year-old son,
Gerald.
The compact, dated about month back was
found by the coroner in sealed envelope in the
woman's room.
Keene once was prosperous farmer, but, &C
cording to the compact, the family had become
impoverished and discouraged during his long
sickness. He was 38 years old and his wife year
two younger
The document, found in dresser in Mrs.
Keene's ROOM along with several farewell letters
to relatives and friends bore the names of both
Mr.. and Mrs. Keene, although the husband ap-
parently had been too feeble to make more than
his mark, his name being written by his wife.
The document recited briefly the family troubles
the result of Mr. Keenes illness. In it his death
predicted, and it stated that as both the
parents thought it would be wrong to have their
remain in the world to suffer the troubles
they had experienced, Mrs. Keene bound herself
to ''do away" in the words of the compact with
herself and their Gerald as possible
after the death of the husband and father.
Friends of the family who were in the house
assisting in preparing the body of Mr.. Keene for
burial heard shots fired upstairs. They found the
boy, Gerald in bed in his chamber with bullet
wound in his right temple. So close had the re-
volver been held to the child's head, probably
while he was asleep, that the hair about his
temple was singed. The boy was alive but
conscious when found. He lived less than an
hour.
The door of Mrs. Keenes room was broken in
and her body was found stretched ON the bed She
had placed the revolver muzzle to the roof of her
mouth and fired, death probably being instanta-
neous. The revolver was on the bed beside her.
In letters to relatives, to whom small gifts were
made of personal belongings, the husband and
wife asked to be buried in double casket and
that their sons coffin and theirs be placed in the
same box for final interment The triple funeral
will be held here next Wednesday.-N Y. World,
Monday February 13.

The Poorly Paid Country Preacher
i'm America
I'm America

AS little as you may think of it, there are
good many preachers in this land of liberty,
red lemonade, and coca cola, who have a great
liking for Yours Truly. They may not pro-
claim it from the housetop-but they've got
it, all the same! In their heart of hearts.
they know perfectly we'll that I am trying to
do for oppressed and fallen humanity the
same that the true type of preacher is trying
to do.
Therefore, I was not bit surprised to re-
celve from one of these clerical friends of
mine copy of the minutes of the One Hun
dred and Sixteenth Anniversary of the Heph-
zlDah Baptist Association, held with Little
Brlar Greek Church, Warren County, Geor-
gia, October Is, 10, 20, 1910.
Vt course he added that he could not afford
to have his name used. Ct wonder how long
it will be before some brave young preacher
leaps into vast popularity by proclaiming
boldly that his opinion about this Foreign
Mission business IS the same as mine.)
1t is fair to assume that the Hephzibah
Association is typical. There are probably
Therefore, it is we'll worth your time to con-
slider the facts in regard to the Hephzibah
Association. They are as follows:
The directory names fifty-nine churches
the total value of the property is given as
1921 ,762. The aggregate of pastoral salaries
for the year 1910 is given as $16,991.19
Many of the preachers of this Association
are personal acquaintance of mine Conse-
quently, it was with unusual interest that T
examined the statistics to see what salaries
they were being paid for their services. The
first name the list is that of the fine old
character, DR.. T. j. Beck of Tennille, man
whom everybody loves and venerates. He is
the pastor of the Baptist church at Barlow.

The next name is th2-of T. E. Barron AS
pastor Of the Bethel church he receives
$4,000 per annum. [ see further down on
the list that he is pastor of Providence church,
with salary of $2OO.OO Of course he may
be pastor also of other churches in other AS
sociations; but, at that rate of pay, there
would not be Sundays enough in the month
to make up to him the dropsical salary of the
unmarried foreign missionary-to say moth
ing of the $1,75000 per year paid to the aver
age missionary family in China
The next name on the list is that of J. W.
erry, of Davisboro. AS pastor of the church
in that town, he receives $4,000 per year
The fourth name on the list is that of w.
j. Howard, of Wrens He is the pastor of
four churches in this Association; Duharts
Little Brian Creek, Reedy Creek, and Silver
Run This just about takes up the month"; you
see. Duharts pays him $135OO; Little Briar
creek, $4,000; Reedy Creek, $150OO; and
Silver Run, the same amount. Thus his an
nual emolnments amount to the enormous
total of $585OO. On that amount he has to
support family (supposing him to have
one) IN country where the cost of living is
higher than it is anywhere else on earth
The fifth name is that of Rev. S. G.. Nc
Gahee. He is pastor at Fellowship, and this
report indicates that he gets no salary at all
