Living WAGE for Preanhers.

Baptist ministers in the United States are
paid at an average rate OF $l,s7 per day This
statement comes from the Massachusetts, con-
ference OF that sect, and is presumably accurate
AS some OF the pastors OF more wealthy oongre-
cations receive really fancy pay. this means that
many OF their brethren Of the cloth throughout
the country are iaboring for considerably less
than the average rate. socologists have deter
mined that at least 81 per day is required to
maintain even an humble family at the Amer
i'an standard OF living" How do these preach
ers get along2 In the smaller communities the
cost OF living is not so high. but even with this
allowance It must be a difficult matter to keen
the body In condition to support the soul while
pouring out the message OF free salvation. The
situation is one that ought 20 have more serious
consideration from the churches.

Chicnro,. New Policy.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2.-To the Editor of
The Bee; Chicago does not propose to
destroy its reputation by repeating the
mistakes that have been made in the
past In the treatment Of the nomadic
unemployed, The greatest possible pub
licity will be given to the policy Of the
present administration in Its effort to
deter the unemployed and unemployable
and protect the vast number of our own
citizens who deserve first consideration.
!. The administration will utilize every
agency to give Chicago citizens prefer
ence wherever employment Is offered in
public or private service.
3 The administration will strongly
urge all organizations to give aid to
the residents of the city We will re-
duee and not increase. provisions for
merly made for nonresident homeless
men. A work test in the municipal
wood yard will be required of all APP
plicants of the municipal lodging house.
3. Tho administration will instruct the
police to make special efforts to prevent
the return of the criminal. the beggar
and the vagrant, accustomed TO exploit
the city under guise of unemployment.
4, The administration advises young
men and women in other cities without
employment not to come to Chicago seek
ing employment during the winter. In
view of the conditions under which
young people are compelled to live Il
employment is not Immediately forth
coming. the city cannot retain the name
of being an honorable host without ad-
vising against this

The Auditorium Rental Schedule.

The main thing in schedule OF charges for
a municipal-owned auditorium is not so much
Il e amount OF the rental as fair classification
and the equal treatment of all who are entitled
to use II for similar purposes. Money-making
enterprises should pay as much as they would
lie charged by a privately-owned auditorium,
while public, semi-public and charity projects
should be favored The real dividends from the
investment OF the peoples money in this piece
OF property must come for the most part, in the
form OF benefits derived from entertainments,
exhibitions, meetings, conventions, ETC., open to
the public at nominal admission fee or no
admission fee at all. In word. publicly
owned auditorium must be a popular institution,
aud this should be the basic idea behind the
schedule OF rental charges

In Fairness tp the Police.
OMAHA. oct. 27.---To the Editor Of The
Bee: II is an easy matter to criticise the
police department OF Omaha. but in the
interest Of fairness few words might
and should be said to show that most OF
the critics are inducing in flights Of
fancy rather than in facts. We all know
that Omaha IL a great western metropolis,
and ! wish to state that II IL efficiently
policed under the direction OF Commits
sioner Kugel and Chief Dunn.
During the last few weeks various rob
berries and hold-ups have occurred In
Omaha and little thought will explain
the situation. Omaha has been widely
advertised OF late as a city Of great
prosperity, which advertisement serves as
an incentive for the criminally-inclined
Of other places to drift this way Any
police expert will verify that statement.
Again. the travel from the San Fran
cisco exposition Is quite heavy just now
and Omaha, being gateway, becomes
one Of the stopping-on places for all sorts
OF travellers. Within the last few weeks
the Chicago authorities made a general
cleanup of that city. driving hundreds
OF undesirables out of the city on sus-
pended sentences Some of the men thus
cast adrift found their way to Omaha,
others 10 Kansas City. some TO Des
Moines and so on. Omaha got a share,
the police maintain.
An investigation Of the police records
here shows that in every instance except
one the police have during the last few
weeks apprehended the criminal. In the
case OF the Smith murder II is known
that the fiend being sought operated in
similar manner In Kansas City. Topeka
and Sc. Paul. and II remained for the
Omaha police to actually determine his
identity and to send out circulars bearing
his likeness and measurements. The ex-
perience OF the police has been in such
a case that It Will be only q matter Of
time before the Smith murderer will be
arrested and brought to justice.
believe II Is only fair to give the po-
lice credit for what they do, rather than
to heap abuse upon them every time a
situation seems to suggest such a course.
1t Is well to remember that Greater
Omaha has an area of thirty-one and a
half square miles within It's corporate
limits and It is likewise well to remember
1t is a great railroad center and, further
more. bear in mind that other cities re-
Gently have had what some call "carni-
walls of crime"
All things considered, Omaha Is one OF
the best policed cities in the United
States and the best evidence is the rec
ords. just like TO be fair about these
matters, that's ALL T. +. QUINLAN.
