Stores Will Remain Open July
Fourth.
Merchants Protective Association
Still wants the. Tariff Taken
Off of Lumber.

The Merchants Protective associa-
tion' held a meeting Tuesday, and
considered several matters of impor-
tance.
The committee appointed to try to
get the insurance rate on stocks of
merchandise restored to the old figure
reported that it had found three non
board companies that would take in
surance without the twenty-five per
cent raise. The board companies had
declined to lower the present rate.
The matter was left with the commit
tee to try and get more non board
companies to insure at the lower rate.
A report is expected at the next meet
ing.
The matter of closing the stores on
July Fourth was discussed, and it was
decided not to close them. It was
argued that a town with the stores
closed has a dead appearance. If
they are closed, there is no place for
the crowd to go, and no place for
women and children to get moment s
rest. 1t was cited that when the city
celebrated several years ago, the stores
were closed to accommodate the
clerks. The crowd departed in the
afternoon.
Congressman McCleary's answer to
the request of the association that he
use his influence to get the tariff On
lumber taken off, was discussed. 1t
was felt that he had made an excel
lent argument on the tariff question,
but that there are exceptions to the
rule, and that lumber is one of these.
It was decided TO continue to urge
the congressman to favor removing
the duty on lumber.
The association again discussed
the matter of the city hiring men who
do not pay their bills, and Jay Henry
Long was urged to bring the matter
before the council, which he will dc
at the next meeting The association
wants such men discharged.
The effect of the rural free delivery
system on business was discussed,
but ho action was taken. The opinion
was expressed. that the system results
in keeping the farmers out of the
city more than before.
The street railway matter was no
considered, neither was that of light
ing.
