HALF FARES
For Ministers May Be Cut Off
by Railroad Companies at
Early Date.

WHEELING, Oct. I'll was
learned from authoritative sources
TO-DAY that the railroads are CON
templating the withdrawal OF minis
terial certificates. which, when pre-
sented by minister's entitle them lo
half fares. 1t was stated that the
matter was under consideration some m 9
time ago, and only after meeting
had been held by committee OF
ministers and railroad officials was
the matter dropped. ).
The informant states that he rs
in a position to say with AUTHORITY
that the Baltimore and Ohio RAJ all
!haIf-fare service to the clergy in the
near future. and the matter Is a,
ready meeting with much favor wl1h
other roads in this territory.
He further stated that there mas
been considerable feeling an, S5ag
they feel that they should have the
same courtesy rendered them. owing
to the fact that ministers today are are
getting practically as high salaries
as some of the other professions.

From State Penitentiary Will
Work on Public Roads All
the Winter.

WHEELING. Oct 2-The three
camps of convict road workers. con-
sisting of nearly ninety men, viii
continue work on the roads OF Berk-
eley, Peasants and Kanawha coun-
ties throughout the coming winter.
Contrary to general belief. the men
will not be brought back to the state
penitentiary at any time es.-ing the
winter.
When the men were taken out by
The counties the contracts with the
state were FOR the nse of the men
for a period of one year. In prepara-
ton for winter wooden floors ar"
being placed in the tents at the three
camps, heavy wooden blankets havo
been ordered. and other preparations
arc being made for camping through
out the winter.
The fact that the men can not
work much on the roads during a
great part OF the winter will make
the winter camp more of a lark than
a task for the convicts, most or
whom are said to be jubilant over

District Progress.

In their statements before the Mon
day Evening Club the other night the
District Comm ssioners indicated GER
tain lines Of reform or advancement
along which they propose to press for
legislation, and called upon the peo-
pie of Washington to join in the de-
mand upon Congress for action in these
directions. They will not be disap-
pointed in the response to their ap-
peal for support: The District has al
ways been urgent in its desire for
progress along all lines that make for
local bettcrlnent OF any sort RealiZ-
ing, that it is difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to advance simultaneously in all
respects toward the municipal ideal,
they have adjusted from time TO time
to the tendencies prevalent in the local
legislature. to concentrate for the
works and improvements that were
most likely Of success. Now this tend
ency has been along material lines,
again along artistic lines, or. as the
present Commissioners at the outset
of their administration announced to
be their program, along lines of moral
betterment or in the direction of Drac-
tical projects that would become the
instruments for the accomplishment of
moral betterment. Whereas year be-
fere last the movement was most
strongly along park Improvement
lines, now the tendency is toward So
Geological Improvement.
There is much to be done to develop
the community to the ideal. The pro-
sressive Washingtonian wants to push
those good projects that promise sue
cess, rather than to waste energy
in the advocacy of hopeless enterprises
and propositions. The District is solid
ly back of the present Commissioners
in their advocacy of Developments and
changes fcr the moral health of the
capital and is glad that they are to
renew their attack and sorry that more
has not been accomplished already. 1t
is not the fault OF the Commissioners
or the fault OF the city that results
have not been secured, but inaction on
the line of advance toward the model
Washington for which all are hoping
has been due to the paralysis and dead
lock attributable to the attacks made
by section of the House upon the
capital community.

The Two-Thirds Vote Rule.

The prohibition amendment failed last
night because it did not poll two-thirds
OF the votes cast, 1877 members favoring
and 1S9 members opposing. Thus 3S6
members voted, of whom two-thirds
would have been 25s. The amendment
therefore failed of adoption in the
House by sixty-one votes. Some con-
fusion may have been caused by the
statement that the amendment re-
auired two thirds of the full member
ship of the House, which is at present
ABS. two-thirds being 29O. or ninety
three more than the amendment polIed.
In point of fact ''the vote required on
a joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution is two-thirds
Of those voting, quorum being pres
mt, and not two-thirds of the entire
membership" This is explicitly stated
m page SO of Kinds edition of the
Constitution. which is in effect the Off
ial print. On this point reference is
made to volume V. sections 1927 and
02S. of the "Precedents." This is a well
established rule from which there is no

Good Street Lighting.

y great improvement has been ef-
fected in the past few years in the
matter Of lighting the streets of WASH
ington. Last night, for the first time,
lights of the new type We're turned on
in G and r streets between 18th and
18th streets and thus these two i'm
portant thoroughfares were given full
illumination. Progress is being made
toward the extension of the system
along the cross streets of the business
district and eventually, it is to be
throughout the city. 1t is by long
odds the best method of street lighting
that can be found today. 1t gives gen.
eral illumination without any intensity
of brilliance at any particular point,
and with the lamps al sufficiently short
intervals the streets are made bright
at all points without glare and with
lamps, too, is favorable to uniform il
Elimination. The trees do not interfere
in the shaded streets and in the tree
less streets the light is cast at a
height to make for the greatest ad-
vantage. No more important improve
ment is under way in the District than
this, and with the extension of the sys-
dence sections Washington will with
out doubt become eventually the best
lighted city in the United States. This
is point on which there should be no
economizing.

Christmas Pays.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Christmas is a very costly institu-
ton. 1t makes deep holes in millions
of well filed pockets. Fathers hand
reaches into his pocket more often in
the few weeks before Christmas than
during any other period Of equal ex-
tent in the whole year. And lots of
money goes for presents that, in the
hands of happy children, last a very
short time. Nightfall of Christmas day
sees many toys in mangled heaps that
bright and shining and new greeted
the little folks as they hoped out of
bed Christmas morning. And millions
and millions of things are bought that
never would be, if it were not for
Christmas But does all this mean that
Christmas is not worth the money 1t
costs, that 1t would be better If the
world did not observe the anniversary
OF Christ's birth in the way it does?
Nobody in the whole wide Christian
part of the world will say that Christ
mas does not pay for itself, that it is
not worth all it costs, and that II is
rot a bargain at any price. Where can
he found a father and mother who feel
hat they have been cheated by Christ
aas, after they hear the gurEling
aughter of their children, in ecstacy
.mong their new toys. even, If there
rad to be skimping and saving Of
.ennies to buy the little presents?

and the vets appear at the two leading
national conventions. and besiege both
for an expression about the liquor traf-
fic. And should they fail at both, they
may be expected to make a campaign
| of their own, and draw in some meas
ure from the two old parties
Such n campaign, under the leader
ship of a strong man-say Mr.. Hobson
would develop the issue in all of its
bearings. The moral side appeals to
great numbers. That, for many years,
has been dwelt upon, and is now ia
miliar. Less has been said about the
financial and economic sides; but dis
cussion of them is now going forward.
The amount of property involved is
enormous. The number of men en-
ployed in the manufacture and sale of
liquors is large. Taxes in the sum of
hundred millions are annually collected
from that source. AS confScation is
not proposed and revenues must be
raised, the prohibitionists will be ex
pected to submit plans for solving
those difficulties.
In his closing remarks yesterday Mr.
Hobson said:
"It may be that ! am politically dead.
] shall not return to the next Congress,
but prohibition will come"
If prohibition is to come it must be
under the most outspoken and aggres
Sive leadership it can command. Who
of its champions is more outspoken or
aggressive than Mr.. Hobson? He be-
lieves he has suffered for the cause.
He lists the liquor traffic among the
influences that defeated him for the
Senate
Of course, if AIR. Hobson accepts the
