Meaning of Clergy.

The word clergy, like the word
clerk. which is the Latin clericus In
Anglicized form, does not refer ex-
clusively to churchmen. but includes
all who have any pretension toward
learning.
William Rufus, the second of the
Norman kings of England. enacted an
ordinance in 1887 known by the title
Benefit of Clergy in accordance
with which an accused man could save
his life on proving that he was not
entirely ignorant of letters.
The statute in favor of those
who constituted the clergy in this
sense continued nominally in force until
Queen Anne's reign, when In 100 it
was repealed, although long before
that it had become a dead letter.

Remove War Tax on Railway Tickle


A circular has been issued by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad contain
ing information that is far from OBJ
Jectionable to the travelling public.
Effective January l, 1922, the war tax
on passenger traffic will be removed
making ticket look more like ''val-
ue received" article than "gold
brick"
The war tax, as it is known, is s
per cent. A ticket at the old rate
costing $50, has been $32.4O since the
war tax was added.
Rumor has it that the tax is to be
removed from freight traffic. which
not only will be welcomed by the
shipping public, but menas an increas
ed business for the railroads. The
public seems to feel that a little
trimming" all around will prove one
of the greatest boons the country
has known for some time.

BlTlLNGER


A week of ideal winter weather
eliminated last Saturday in a thaw
which speedily carried off most of
the snow and left mother earth bare
IN many places. This break in the
winter was followed by very high
wind from the west which blew very
strong and cold from midnight Sat
urday until early in this week.
It is reported that an airman was
forced to land with his machine near
Grantsville on Friday afternoon of
last week. The descent was made
necessary by the supply of fuel Civ
ing out in the aircraft and the land
ing was made on the farm of Elmer
Beachy and afforded many of the
citizens an opportunity of examining
the craft at close range.
On last Saturday afternoon in the
village of Jennings, near here, live
gray fox which had been captured
some time previous by Messrs. Harry
and Lee burst, was set at liberty in
the presence of a number of the vii
layers, and after giving the animal a
short start a pack of hounds were let
loose on his scent in order to test
their speed and staying qualities. At
ter chase of about two miles the
fox was overtaken and killed by a
hound owned by Earl Soelders of this
section of the county. A dog be-
longing to Jason Wilburn, of Jen-
nings, was a close second in the
chase.
It is reported that while feeding
his sheep one morning last week Har-
mon Bittinger, farmer residing on
the east side of Meadow Mountain,
discovered tracks of a bear around
hay stack in his meadow. This fact
was soon made known and a number
of men took up the trail and follow
ed 1t for several miles, but although
1t is said that they found tracks of
three other bears during the chase,
they were unable to come up with
any Of the animals, the trail having
been obliterated by a fall of fresh
snow that night.
Chauncey Friend principal of the
Jennings school, and Russell Hoover,
OF Jennings, attended church service
here last Sunday morning.
c. R. Broadwater and Earl Stark
drove over to Blaine West Va. one
day last week with a load of Christ
mas trees which they disposed Of in
that town.
Clarence Stephns and Elwood Glot-
felty made a business trip toLuke
and Westernport a few days ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Orval Glotfelty have
begun housekeeping in their new
home on the original John B. Harmon
farm near here where they will be at
home to their friends in the future.
Mr.. and Mrs James Speicher were
shopping and calling on relatives in
Accident last Saturday
W. E. Buckle succeeded in captur-
ing his first fox last Saturday morn
ing and is so elated over the achieve
rnent that he will likely give the sur
vivors of that species of animal an
interesting time during the remain
der Of the season.
Mr.. W. T. Stanton, of Grantsville,
made a business trip to this place
one day last week.
We extend our best wishes for a
Merry Christmas to the editor, the
employees of the Office and all the
readers of The Republican.

The Philippines and Independence

10 the Editor Of the Ercnin0 public Lcd1'r'
s!r--Iu your issue of August Is "" note
your editorial on The Philippine MSs'eFS'
wherein you allude to the philippine lsIall"S
as the greatest white elephant ever VI"
loaded on any government.
We arc at a loss to understand just
Why YOU feel that tho Philippines nave Deeh
burden to the United states Estapilsh-
ing tho precedent she did in the first place.
OF going TO war for tho sake OF an oppressed
people, was a move that brought her the
admiration of the worli and the iaCt that
her wards have In twenty years time mace
such phenomenal progress until lh"S are
ready to step forward and shoulder thelr
own affairs should rebound to her ever
lasting credit, The further fact that no,
only in education and culture nave W.?
attained achievements. but that when al
tie world IL still suffering from the hnanclal
depression following tho war. We have pro
dGced the greatest crops on record ana
piled up a foreign trade balance IN our
favor, and closed tho year with a pront OF
81 300 for our government owned and
operated railroad-these further should at
test our fitness as well our value to the
United States. who enjoys 60 per cent OF
our trade.a
President Harding, IN his interview with
Mr.. Que2on, expressed the opinion that the
United states and the Philippines could be
~ mutual help to each other. 1t seems to
US that this has been &c case from the
beginning. The United states furnished the
prhihs ana lnltlatlNe ana eNaIlpls lot our
improvements. the Philippines furnished the
money and the eager response-without
which all the efforts OF any Government TO
develop people for self'government would
be unavaillng.
Nor is It true that the United States has

halt, President Taft, In his report to Con-
