How about tho salaries of tho retailers

ous offices In all lines of business estab

their clerks adapted themselves to 'ich

have occasion to transact business with
various offices. It retail stores aro to

to ask all offices to keep open for our

ask the bonks to keep open till 8 pm.

instead of Z p. m, and 12 m. To bo sure
this would be a great accommodation to
all classes and the banks would do the
samo amount of business during the
longer hours as they now do. And bolter
yet what's the matter with keeping the
whole town open and not single out the

Wonder how in the world and when these
people do their shopping. Let's do away

It Is a bad advertisement and nnt a

me to ask my dear "business woman'
don't you think you are very selfish in
your Ideas about early closing"? It Is not
only the clerks, but their families at

Editorial Viewpoint
Washington Post: Considering ttu dis
tance between New York's two gover
nors, It's no wonder the Matteawan
prisoner managed to slip through.
Baltlmora American: Herr August
Bebel, arch-prtest of German socialism,
left an estate ot.Uo.a00. It pays, some
time, to prsach' an equal distribution of
wealth.
NsW York: Worldi If Secretary Bryan's
Income holds out the prospect I that the
misunderstandings In Mexico will event
ually be settled to everybody's satisfac
tion. Boston Transcript: The uproar over
tha discovery that Andrew Carnegie Is a
voter In Scotland as well asjn Pittsburgh
will cause but mild lnterest to' those who
htd always tiupposed that he also hsli
seats In the Reichstag and the Storthing.
Springfield RepubUcsn: The state ot
New York nss been self-governing going
on U0 years, yet It I so backward In the
science of government that it doe not
know today who its governor Is. The
conflict of executive authority at Albany
reflects upon the state's self-governing
capacity unaor a written constitution.

Rtport Telephone
Trfiblfs Pnwptly
The constant effort of
the Telephone Company is
to give immediate atten
tion to telephone troubles.
And in order to accom
plish this, subscribers are
asked to report all trou
bles immediately to the
" Eepair Department. "
From here they are sent
into the proper channels
without loss of time.
Many Causes
If you do not see a man
actually working; on your
telephone, it does not
mean that you are not re
ceiving proper attention.
The difficulty may be at
the switchboard, on the
'main frame," in an un
derground cable, or in a
cable-box, where two or
three men may be at work
on it.
Troubles impair the
service for every sub
scriber and for the Com
pany, and it is our first
consideration to clear
them promptly.

I stood within a wooded glen
Belore a mounta.n wall,
And, ringing 10 my ear. again, ,
The echo mocked my call.
'O Spirit of tnc Gienl" I cried,'
"Will all bo bliss divine

And wtnch her lany fingers sew
Or mend or hem or knit?"
And echo answered "Nit!"

And iicho answered "Fight!"
-And will I rule the roost?" Bald L

Or will my rule be wrecked?
