In another column of the In
dependent is q list Of the mer-
chants Of Minotwho have agreed
on an early closing hour. This
is certainly a matter of congrat-
ulation. 1t will afford leisure to
merchants and employers which
they can have as we'll as not dur
ing this time Of the year. And
the general public can easily &C.
comodate themselves to the new
arrangement. Minot is only
following the example Of other
cities and wide-a-wake towns,
who regularly adopt this plan as
soon as the holiday trade is over.
There has been complaint that
the early clossin hour has not
been observed by every merchant
in other winters when the plan
has been trsed, that some have
forgotten that their signature
was given to a written agree
ment and could not honorably
be broken. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that there will be no such
l-violation this winterand, should
it occur, that merchants willnot
make it an excuse to open their
stores but wait until the offender
meets the just deserts Of the pub
lic-WhO want to see fair play
and believe the early closing hour
is for the best interests Of the
city.
