Hire Would More Than Offset Busi-
 ness Done Perfectly Satisfied With
 Present Condition Even if WeatheU
 is Against Them Occasionally.
 The other day a prominent merchant unbosoIned himself to a representativa| or this paper on the regulation which brought apout the closing of stores four nights ill every week. and made no bones oI stating that he considered It hardship which would soon become so apparent that merchants and their clerks would see the necessity of| changing it. He didn't want to eo| back to the old plan of keeping opan every night, but he thought some uns3 derstanding should be arrived at thatl would allow stores to remain open on other evenings than Wednesdays and Saturdays in case the weather co1ldi@: tions were not favorable for shopping on these nights. That WAS one nanfs
 way of looking at it. Here is another ss
 Il read that article in the Democrat suggesting the advisability of changing existing regulations with reference to the closing of stores and gave it cou-. siderable consideration, and the more thought of 1t the more I became con yinced that it would be q great mistake to tamper with it There is just so | much trade in Waterbury and the nler- chants are bound to get the whole oT 1t. If 1t does not come to-day 1t wilt to- morrow or some other time, and we'll all receive share of 1t just iI1 the same proportion that we would if We were open every night in the week Some may say that the early closing movement has worked hardship OIL merchants, but that is not our expert ence It is true that the receipts from each days sales are not so uniform now as they used to be when we 7id business on the system of go as you please but they average up all right. and so long a s this is so I see no rea~ son why anybody should complain Do you know how much merchants save on light alone by closing four nights 2 The amount is very large, enough aIS

FEEL BITTER OVER AWARD.
Canadian Business Men Generally
 Are Much Dissatisfied.

Are Much Dissatisfied.
 Vancouver, B. C.. Oct 22.-Local feel ing is very bitter over the award of the Alaskan boundary commission. There Is much talk of annexation and Of Canada becoming independent bust ness men generally being much 6issat- istied at what they denounce as British disregard of Canadian interests in order to please the United States. that 1t Is matter Of comment that loudest among the dissontented are English men residing here. Many of them say that Canada nill never achieve her greatest possibilities until she becomes part of tAe United States.
 The Rev Elliott S Rowe, the lead ing Methodist mini CT of British Cor lumbia. and who, with Chief Justice < Hunter, constituted the labor comnais sion which sat this summer, in an in terview here said:
 am a Rritisher and I have always been a Brltisher. but if Great Britain Is to hand Canada over piecemeal to the United States. say let US join the American republic also By doing so now We are large enough, populous enough and important enough to have something to say regarding the terms of such annexation and also would be potent enough to have something to say in the affairs of the republic of which we would form a part But if we wait until our best and richest terri, tory is given away, we shall simply be absorbed. It looks to me as if Canada had won the case and lost the terri tory"
 Mayor Neelands of Vancouver thinks that the Alaskan award may lead to the establishment of Canada as an in dependent nation
