The closing at $50 by practically all
of the business men is approved by the
public. There are from so to 100 peo-
pie employed in the stores in this city
which close at $50 each day except Sat-
urday, and these people greatly appre'
ciate the blessed privilege of having a
few hours in the cool of the evening to
call their own. For humanity's sake,
and for the good feeling of all the peo-
pie of the town, the $50 closing hour
should be continued during the present
| month at least.
The Salvation Army workers are all
right in their way. But some church
members mot christians, for an hon>

tionalism of the Salvation Army. If
those men are sincere in their work
they are all right-they appeal to a
class that the society ruled church peo-
pie never can reach.
