$4,000 PASTORS IN DEMAND
high-Priced Places Vacant for Lack
of Right Man, Says Rev. Rob-
erts of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pat is true
that 1t is hard to get good execu-
tives to fill $4,000 positions" said
Rev. w. H. P. Roberts, clerk of the
Presbyterian church.
II know of six high-priced pastorates
that have been vacant for two years
because men Of sufficient ability can
not be found to fill them"
DR. Roberts was speaking apropos
Of the statement of Alba B. Johnson
before the foreign federal relations
committee that there are plenty of
$4,000 places, but lack of men to
fill them.

WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have ,alo,
place recently in the Oil and gas fields
of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous eyi,
dences that have been prodpooa
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for SO monv
generations.
The latest reports from the oil.
fields at Calgary show that there Is a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on tho
ground for some time. II is said tina,
one OF the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. II this ia 50
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world of greater production. Dur.
ing the past week discoveries OF sur.
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider.
able portion of Alberta and Saskatcha.
wan, while in Manitoba there have al.
80 been showings. At Battleford
Saskatchewan, few days ago discov.
cries were made which led to the fl.
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres Of land, all having strong sur.
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work.
and in couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists In paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions Of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches II Is no wonder that a
continued range of optimism is TO be
seen everywhere. Early reports Of
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most Of the
wheat had reached n growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground in way that brought the
broadcast kind of grin to overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley. a favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for first place, as to
length of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention.
as a consequence OF the inclination TO
go more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine.
Just what is needed, and II present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop Of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his
tory Of the couptry.-Advertise

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Members of 63rd Congress Addressed
Personally by Chief Executive.

In delivering his annual message
at the closing session of the 63rd
congress in the hall of the house OF
representatives President Wilson
spoke as follows in part:
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1914-12-17

not ready to mobilize our resources
| at once. We are not prepared to
use them Immediately and at their
best, without delay and without
waste.
Ships Needed
To speak plainly, we have grossly
erred in the way in which we have
stunted and hindered the develop
ment of our merchant marine. And
now. when We need ships, we have
not got them. We have year after
year debated, without end or conclu-
sion, the best policy to pursue with
regard to the use of the ores and
forests and water powers Of our ma
tional domain in the rich States of
the West. when we should have act
ed: and they are still locked up. The
key is still turned upon them, the
door shut fast at which thousands
of vigorous men, full of initiative,
knock clamorously for admittance.
| The water power of our navigable
streams outside the national domain
also, even in the Eastern States,
where We have worked and planned
for generations, is still not used as
| it might be, because we will and we
won't; because the laws We have
made do not intelligently balance
encouragement against restraint.
We withhold by regulation.
l have come to ask you to remedy
and correct these mistakes and omis-
sions, even at this short session of
congress which would certainly
seem to have done all the work that
could reasonably be expected of it.
The time and the circumstances are
extraordinary, and so must our ef-
forts be also.
Fortunately, two great measures,
finely conceived. the one to unlock,
with proper safeguards, the resources
of the national domain, the other to
encourage the use Of the navigable
waters outside that domain for the
generation of power, have already
passed the house of representatives
and are ready for immediate consid-
Grafton and action by the States.
With the deepest earnestness | urge
their prompt passage. In them both
we turn our backs. upon hesitation
and makeshift and formulate gen.
uine policy of use and conservation,
in the best sense of those words. We
owe the one measure not only to the
people of that great Western coun-
try for whose free and systematic
development, as it seems to me, our
legislation has done so little, but al.
so to the people of the nation as a
whole; and We as clearly owe the
others in fulfillment of our repeated
promises that the water power OF
the country should in fact as we'll as
in name be put at the disposal of
great industries which can make
economical and profitable use of it,
the rights of the public being ade=
quately guarded the while, and mo-
nopoly in the use prevented. To
have begun such measures and not
completed them would indeed mar
the record of this great congress
very seriously. l hope and confident
" believe that they will be COM
pleted.

Economy.

One OF these is economy in gov
eminent expenditures. The duty OF
economy is not debatab,e. 1t is man
ifest and imperative. In the appro-
priations We pass we are spending
the money of the great people whose
servants We. are-not our own. We
are trustees and responsible stew
ards in the spending. The only
thing debatable and upon which we
should be careful to make our
thought and purpose clear is the
kind Of economy demanded of us. l
assert with the greatest confidence
that the people of the United States
are not jealous of the amount their
government costs. if they are sure
that they get what they need and de-
sire for the outlay, that the money
is being spent for objects for which
they approve, and that it is being
applied with good business sense and
management.
Governments grow, piecemeal,
both in their tasks and in the means
by which those tasks are to be per-
formed, and very few governments
are organized, venture to say, as
wise and experienced business men
would organize them if they had a
clean sheet of paper to write upon.
Certainly the government of the
United States is not l think that it
is generally agreed that there should
be a systematic reorganization and
reassembling of its parts so as to
secure great efficiency and effect con-
siderable savings in expense. But
the amount of money saved in that
way would, | believe, though no
doubt considerable in itself, running,
it may be, into the millions. be rela-
lively small-small, / mean, in pro-
portion to the total necessary out
lays of the government. 1t would
be thoroughly worth. effecting, as
every saving would, great or small.
Our duty is not altered by the scale
of the saving. But my point is that
the people of the United States do
not wish to curtail the activities Of
this government; they wish. rather,
to enlarge them; and with every en-
largement. with the mere growth,
indeed. of the country itself, there
must come, of course, the inevitable
increase of expense. The sort of
