The Pittsburgh synod of the Re formed church has gone on record as favoring a minimum wage for its pastors and sets the figure at $900 per year and parsonage. At last! At last! "The church," says the Richmond Palladium is beginning to discover the chief reason which has kept so many men from the ministry and de pleted its ranks of workers. A pas tor is a man who must eat, sleep and wear clothes; usually he has a family to care for and to educate. It is as Impossible for him to make ends meet in thi day and age without sufficient funds as anyone else. The aim in the Master's mind was frank recognition of the economic problem in the ministry has been a false interpretation of Jesus' teachings regarding poverty. Because He said.

If bankers can't agree on the currency hill how do they expect the rest of us to settle on it? 'TIS said that Harper's Weekly was twice suspended on account of its cantankerousness.

PRESIDENT Wilson has issued the proclamation for Thanksgiving day. No doubt Mr. Bryan is thankful be cause his Chautauqua receipts have been so bounteous. WHEN Governor Glynn is in office a couple of weeks and the Job hunters re active he will find that he will b nearly as unpopular as Mr. Sulzer. ence has been drawn that poverty la there holy and peculiarly christian, j But this is to reason without taking Into account the conditions of His I time. The aim in the aMster's mind was to establish Himself and His followers in a condition of uninterruption from the appeals of mere worldllness and carnality. Being wealthy was too distracting a thing for a devoted man to wish for. If one had a sufflciency of food, of clothing, of shelter, he had all that was needed. To seek tnr- nraalth was tr ritvlriA nnp'a attATItion between temporary interests and the concern of the Eternal Kingdom. Therefnn he said, blessed are ye p00r, But today it happens that in order for a man to be free in mind about , temporal things he must be possessed of a certain standard of living. No person can be more harassed about "worldly matters" than an impecunious preacher three months behind with his bills. If the churches wish to make a modern application of the intent of Jesus' teaching regarding poverty they can do no better than establish a minimum wage for preachers and lift from their should ers the engrossing burden of poverty. MRS. Pankhurst must be a brave woman after all. She expects to visit Washington, where the police were not able to protect even American suffragists. THE president of the Missouri Bar association recommends more judges as a remedy for the law's delays. How about shorter vacations for the Judges? FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Man Bued for divorce says of his wife: "She is an estimable lady. I am very fond of her. I do not understand her actions.

A card reads, "Welcome and Best Wishes The News Force, Oct. 20, 1913." The editor is at home again. He had a five-months vacation, and says he had a good time. He scratched and scarred, tanned to a smoke colo and somewhat lean. By this testimony ye shall judge. To one who performs muscular work, or clerical, or those lines of toil in which the mind works mechanically ,or automatically, perhaps, vacations are not no needful, but the editor's position, in which the head is used for development work, for exploration and invention, a rest, a thinking spell, is needful. Nothing should interfere with, or clog his brain. At times he should be as alert, as prompt as a policeman, afe watchful, as careful as the clergy, as exact as the watch tinker. If coffee makes him dull, he should drink water or milk. If yeast bread annoys him, eat biscuit. He should keep in close touch with a really intelligent physician, and whenever he cannot read his Bible or Shakespeare with interest, take a vacation. If he addresses letters to his wife using her

Furthermore, editor or clergyman, instructor or student, should have no annoyances, except the one business in hand no political ambitions, no debts, no side lines in business. The mind should run with these free as the mountain current, aid to the one 'end laughing, Joyous, full speed, and full strength, all the way. Joliet News. sv President Wilson thinks the stock depression Is artincial. we know different. We also know the cause. 'but the President wouldn't believe It if told and we certainly are not going to nose our way into the White House to tell him OH VERY - WELL. The Hammond Times is moved to remark : "Our own confederation of cities and towns isn't the only one in the Hoosler commonwealth where polltics is rampant. Over in Fort Wayne even the very editors are at each other's throats as this clipping from the Fort Wayne News will show: , " 'Moreover, if Mr. Rcheiman is a Shylock an oppressor, and a crook, the publisher of the Journal-Gazette is likewise, for while it was all going on he stood on the eide lines yelling 'Hosanna!' "If this isn't enough paregoric ' for the Journal-Gazette editor, what else could be? "And yet these newspapers have been wont to peg stones at Gary for its political campaigns." All very well except that Mr, Scheiman isn't an editor and never has been one. He is merely one of our most prominent democrats, who is being lampooned by his. party organ because he refused to line up at the crack of the party whip and help put the idol of the underworld in control of Fort Wayne's city gov ernment. The observations of the News were no those of the party at tacked, but simply those of the faith ful chronicler of passing events. Fort Wayne News. THE necessity no longer exists for President Wilson to knock Secretary Bryan into a cocked hat.. Mr. Bryan is doing that for himself. PROBABLY, after the next sena torial election in Alabama, Congressman Hobson will be able to continue ;his war on Japan with augmented ferocity. DO YOU KNOW HIM? The soft sport smokes cigarettes in the hallway just before dinner, and loaf3 at a corner on Sunday after noons. In the evening he puts on his tuxedo and listens to his aunt who makes him believe he is leading a terrible life and asks him to brace up for the sake of a Boston girl he met once at a Country Club. Occasionally he goes to college and permits the teachers to struggle for four years to implant a thought-seed in his alleged brain; but usually he stays at home playing golf and promising his mother that he will look after her property when she is old and feeble. It was such a senseless, idiotic calf as this who reported to his sweetheart after asking her father for the hand, that the old gentleman had threatened to brain him. "Ah!" sighed the maid, "that is

just like papa. He is so fond of a joke." Your soft sport is wrong in his at titude to every important question in life. In business ,if you can ever get him there, he cuts about as much figure ! as a bantam hen teeter-tottering with an elephant. In a profession he is as weak as the knees of a mugwump; and in respectable society he looks like a comic valentine. The city police force ought to hang red lanterns in front of such fellows as danger signals, or tack yellow contagion signs on them, at the board of health requires in cases of smallpox. A man whose ideal is idleness, who borrows money to get into society of the rich, who manicures his finger nails, with red polish who shakes violet talcum powder down his back in hot weather ,and vrho effects a silly scorn for honest, horny-handed laborers, is not a fit person to look at, listen to or touch. He is a moral vacuum, a mental leper, and sometimes a physical degenerate. He Is too small, to sappy, too feeble of mind to be fit company for anybody of sense. The soft sport does -not know how to do anything useful, and wouldn't do it if he did. The young person of ambition must avoid the soft sport and all he represents. His mind, If he has any, is centered upon things that lead in the wrong direction. WHY should the University of Pennsylvania go to the trouble and expense of importing a twelve-ton sphinx from Egypt, when Philadelphia has Connie Mack? COMPELLED to mark time while the senate is considering the currency bill, the house is clamoring for adjournment. The baseball season is over. JEALOUS?

With the municipal election less than two weeks away, the candidates of the leading parties seem anxious not so much to attack each other, as at the beginning of the campaign, us to impress upon the voters that they stand for economy of government. Many of the attacks against Tammany have been based on its reckless expenditure of the city's money, by the assistance of the men it has elected, and an effort is being made thi3 year to emphasize economy.

TIMES BIOEAU AT STATE CAPITA U Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 25. A bunch of Democrats at Lafayette have put Governor Ralston In a hole by asking him to come to Lafayette and make a speech in behalf of Mayor Dnrgan. The invitation was sent to Ralston by special delivery mall, so aa to make sure that it would not fall Into wrong hands. It was sent by the Democratic city chairman, and the letter asked the governor to" come over and make a speech that would help re-elect Durgnn, who has been renominated. The city chairman sent the Invitation, he says, because the governor rrae a speech in Inianapolis a few nights ago in support of Joseph E. Bell, the democratic candidate for mayor of this city. Bell, aa la well known, is the machine candidate for mayor, and the state democratic machine is turning every stone to elect him. Durgan, on the other hand, is an antl-tnachlne democrat and has for years been a thorn in the side of the machine organization. He has fought it at every turn. Ho fought the Indiana bunch at the Baltimore convention when some of the delegates. Including Bell, opposed Woodrow Wilson and Bryan. But he is a democrat, and the city chairman insists that as a democrat Durgan is as much entitled to the support of the democratic governor as is Bell in Indianapolis. As far as known, the governor has not sent any answer to the request, and it is not known Just what he will do. It is een suggested that antimachine democrats in some other places may also ask him to come out trying to prove that Tammany desires a reduction of expenses the least of all. In the meantime, the election bets are stiffening and the chances of the fusion nominee seems to have brightened dlrlng the past week, judging from the bets placed on the election in Wall street. STAND BY HEARTIES! There is, thank goodness, no limit to the uplit. Starting here, of course, it extends to Kansas, thence to the British Isles, and back again. "While we're about it," urges Colonel Bryson, of the Louisiana (Mo.) PressJournal, "why not have a mother-in-law day?" That much abused Individual, he has noticed, gets nothing but boneheaded negro minstrel jokes, and she's a useful member of society at that. Vote "aye." Don't get enough holidays, anyhow. t ' ' . MAYBE. The political struggles between the Gary democrats and citizens patriots is now about to be transferred to tho courts where a legal battle will be fought over the election commissioner.

Therefore, it looks like the governor is in for a season, either of hard speech making or severe roasting for turning down the invitations. It would be interesting to see what the governor would do if he were asked to make speeches at Fort Wayne, for Hosey and at South Bend for Pat Joyce, because both are machine candidates for mayor. The governor, it Is pointed out, would not be likely to turn down Invitations from these places. Not only has the local democratic organization in this city collected campaign contributions from officials and employes In the state house, but it has called on them to do personal work in tha city campaign also. Gov. Ralston already has made his speech, and it is announced that J. Fred France, of Huntington, clerk of the supreme court, will be booked for at least one speech and possibly more In behalf of Bell. Philip Zoercher, of Tell City, reporter of the supreme court, has made several speeches, and it is said that Charles A. Greathouse, superintendent of public instruction, may also speak before the close of the campaign. While It is difficult to see how Bell can be defeated, on account of the divisio nln tho opposition, yet it is a fact that he is losing ground while tho Republican and Progressive candidates are making gains, and the democrats have decided that they must fight for whatever victory they may achieve. progress of the trial.
