When the United States gets to that
place where it will use its rivers to
as great advantage as do the different
countries of Europe the question OF
cheap water rates will be largely set
tied. AS an instance, the river Rhine
now has permanent channel for a
distance of 355 miles, the depth Sc
cured varying from 9.S feet for II
miles above the outlets, to feet fol
"a miles below Strassburg. In the
intermediate stretches of the river the
depth is never less than &c feet fol-
70 miles below Mannheim, or SO feet
for so miles above Cologne. On this
improved channel, nowhere quite II
feet at low water, the commerce il

ANOTHER MEMORIAL DAY.

Another Memorial day is at hand,
and for one more day the people of
America will pause to pay homage to
the men who have died for the stars
and stripes.
1t is little that we can do to honor
those brave souls. All that we can dc
to pay them tribute, is but slight re
membrance for their night. So the
call of the w. r. c. for large attend
ance at the services, and for the aft
ernoon address, is only a reasonable
request to make of the living, and
ought to have weight.

fear in bestowing judicious praise up

that he would accept the nomination

should be called upon to do so. The

A MINIMUM WAGE FOR MINISTER'S

A MINIMUM WAGE FOR MINISTER'S
Clergymen were urged to form a
labor union, with the purpose Of re-
quiring a minimum wage, in a report
to the Ministerial Union of the Amer.
lean Unitarian association Monday.
The resolutions offered by the com.
mittee were to the effect that SIS a
Sunday and expenses be the mini
mum payment.
The popular impression assumes,
when minister accepts higher sal
airy on the ground that "the Lord
called louder" that he is dominated
by mercenary ideals inconsistent with
religion which favors laying up
wealth only in heaven where moth and
dust do not corrupt.
But it hardly seems fair that the
minister's children should have to re.
main satisfied with a high school ed.
ucation, while the neighbors' young.
sters go to college. The minister has
devised no method by which his chill,
dren's teeth can be kept from decay.
ing, and they are just as likely to have
appendicitis operations as those hav.
ing less sanctified surroundings
How can normal young man, full
of robust conquering energy, be ex.
pected to enter a profession requiring
a costly education, which may not af
ford his family as comfortable sup
port as is obtained by the skilled me-
chanic.
No doubt the folly of sectarian
ism has had much to do with low min
isterial salaries. 1t is an expensive
habit to require ministers to fit your
| individual convictions about the cut
of the clerical coat or the proper place
to put comma in the creed.
If a church can not pay a clergy
man enough so he can look his grocer
in the eye and smile, the powers that
be of that denomination should sug
gest that it merge forces with some
other religious organization. Loca
ministerial associations might very
properly take this matter up, and put
churches on an unfair list that Offer
