A PROTEST THAT NAY COUNT.

Opposition to the proposed coinage
Of 3-cent pieces from an even more
influential source than the street rail-
way and telephone companies, who
fear it may encourage agitation for
Scent fares and 3-cent calls, is init
mated in that protest from a church
member who is alarmed lest the par
simonious pew occupants take advan-
tage of the new coin to cut down their
contributions to the plate two-ffths.
Many Of those who now grudginsly
contribute a nickel on Sunday would,
he fears. be only too glad to compro-
mise with their conscience on a Scent
piece.
Maintaining the fixed charges of
church operation and maintenance,
he argues, is suficiently dificult now
without this prospective reduction of
contributions. OF course, the idea that
churchsoers would stoop to such
economy will be stefnly repealed by
many members; hut even they will
admit that there are Indifferent in
dividuals in many fiocks of whom just
buch a thing might be expected. If
the church members Of the country
whose contributions support the or
~ganizations become convinced there
% any such danger in the Scent piece
~ this protesting brother fears con-
yress may expect a protest that must
:eunt against the insidious coin.
