Perhaps there isn't any relation be- tween the increase in the price of gasoline and the scandal at Wash- ington, but it begins to appear as if the oil companies are out to show the country who's boss.

An attack could then be launched on the administration for withholding from deserving employes salary in- creases and the claim might be made that the democrats are not in favor of salary increases. The democratic leaders say, how- ever, that they are ready to meet this argument on the stump and wouid welcome the injection of a salary is- sue into the campaign. Should the G. 0. P. see fit to charge the democratic administration with killing salary in- creases, they will argue the inconsist- ency of some of the increases voted, laying special stress upon the repub- lican movement to standardize wom- en’s salaries regardless of their abili- ties or term of city service, they say.

CREGG, M. D. REV. DR. T. E. BROWN. l.\lcmbcr of First Baptist Church | Eulogizes Former Pastor. | Editor, New Britain Heral | A recent brief notice in your issue lof the 29th called attention to the |death of Dr. T. Edwin Brown, which |oceurred at the home of his daughtor |in Independence, Kansas, on last | Sunday morning. | The fact that Dr. Brown was pastor of the First Baptist church in this city from 1904 to 1615, a period of 11 years, and that during his pas- torate he endeared himself to all the | Christian people of the city without Iregard to donominational lines would |seem to call for a more extended otice. His pasforal work covered lover 53 years—his first church being ‘at Brooklyn, N, Y, his second pas- !torate at Rochester, N, Y., his third at Providence, R, L, his founth at Franklin, Pa., and his pastoral worl |was finished with the First Baptist chureh of this city. | Dr. Brown was a man of rarc cul- ture and intellectual attainments, He was a close student not only of re- |ligious Nterature but he was thor- (oughly informed and strongly inter- ested in aill secular matter, He had {traveled widely both in this country land in Burope and atquired a first- class knowledge of conditions both religious and secular on ail matters in which thoughtful ple are inters ested. As a preacher he was hoth (spiritual and practical: he was never |sensational and his sermons were al- ways dignified, spiritual and impres. |sive, ‘The fact that necarly half of his ministry was spent in college [towas whoere he aftained unusnal prominence, where his congregations were made up of professional and college men, showed that his preach- ing appealed to the educated classes land that Tis ministry In these charches was unusually s sful, stamped him as a man of unusual in- tellectual force, But the most strik- ing thing about Dr. Brown was his |lovableness as a men and his sincers isimplioity as a friend, Though he lived to be well over the four score years, he was as alert mentally when he visited the writer last summer as he was when I first knew hin. As an always interesting companion and friends he had fow equals. His work in this ecity included _the building of the new ehurch and he retained his membership here until his death, His long life well spent—he has en- tered on his reward, but his influcnce remains.
