Dear Children: once upon a time
about one hundred years ago the young
people did not have the sense Of justice
that you have now toward our city pro-
tectors. The protectors were then called
policemen by the grown people, and nick
named cops" and other things by chill
dren. They seemed TO think the police
men their enemy instead of their best
friend. Indeed, I am sorry TO say this
aversion was to some extent shared by
the older people. for they often sided
with the children when they were in the
wrong. and thought the policeman unjust
when he arrested a boy for smashing
windows and disobeying the laws. Oh,
yes, lie had his orders-and had to obey
or be censured-but the people did not
seem TO remember that
Now things are different II some one

we instantly call for a city protector.
II we are strangers in a city We make all

may be danger in asking persons IN

in security. for We know that during the
long hours OF the night our city prOtec
tors are guarding us against thieves and
murderers. often they pity a poor
drunkard and see that he gets home all
right. and only arrest him when he is I'm

Yes, we appreciate them now; but does

EarlY Closing.
n Wasllnrl.n HaTall .

Editor The Washington Herald:
The movement which has been inaugU-
rated for the early closing Of downtown
retail stores is one which should appeal
70 the humane instincts of every citizen
Of the District In a number Of these
stores the closing hour throughout the
summer has been set for o'clock five
days in the week and Q o'clock Satur-
days. I am now making an effort 10
have these hours changed to . o'clock for
five days and O'Clock on Saturdays
All Of the f and G street stores close
early. and several Of the other large
houses. such as Kanns, Lansburghs s.
Parker. Bridget & Co., and many others
have agreed to establish these early
hours if all the stores VIII agree TO close
at the same time.
I therefore appeal to the patrons OF
these stores to assist in securing these
early hours. We believe IL 70 be only
fair 10 the clerks during the hot. wearing
days Of summer 10 have a few hours
respite from the firing task Of standing
behind the counter ten hours a day
The number Of cases Of sickness and
overWork has been especially frequent
this summer, notably on Mondays,
after the long stretch Of thirteen hours
work on Saturday
Public demand would go a long way
toward securing this much-ueedcd
change. and l rely q great deal on the
influence which can be brought to bear
upon the proprietors 10y the patrons OF
