•HH The announcement that the railroads ! throughout the country will continue dtiring next year to grant half rates to clergymen has been received with tra- membertf of the oloth. But not by all. A prominent and respected preacher, commenting upon the matter, said: "I bad hoped that the railroads were finally about to wipe out the semideadhead privilege extended to the clergy. It is a relic of the times when preaching meant poverty, and under the changed condi­ tions it is not only unfair to the rail­ ways and the general traveling public, but it is destructive of the self respect of its beneficiaries. The railroads have been chafing under the clerical half fare system for a long time, and for several years some of them have been trying to do away with it. Times have changed since the church was poor and preachers underpaid, and the railroad people are quite sensible of the fact.
