SUNDAY LAWS.

If Police Commissioner Bingham carries out
his threat of enforcing literally the Sunday
closing law as recently interpreted 10y Justice
O'tiorman he will not only bring about the en-
actment of q more rational ordinance, but, in so
doing also help good many persons toward a
clearer understanding of the sanctlty OF law and
II, meaning and purpose of Sunday. Already
the mere prophecy of enforcement has set
officials ministers and theatrical managers to
thinking about the form Sunday closing law
should take It has been suggested that a COM
mission be appointed TO determine what public
amuSements should be permitted on Sunday.
Should this course he pursued no wise man
without an axe TO grind would consent TO serve
on that body for whatever recommendation the
commissioners might make would surely arouse
the lasting ire of large body of citizens.
Canadian Sunday in New York would be
as impossible as an eight-hour labor law for the
celestial choirs, and a mining camp Sunday
would not be tolerated even by the majority Of
those who cry for q wide OPEN ordinance.
Less extreme policies are scarcely less certain
70 stir I'D much discomfort. If churches
allowed to give Sunday sacred concerts, why
may not the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. or anybody else, DO. likewise! Then
somebody asks whether it is any less 'ele-
waiting" TO listen TO classical secular music
than to sacred music, much of which latter
is only ordinary music renamed Ere long
the Jewish question arises: BY what right does
anybody profess TO deprive of a holiday
body of citizens who religiously observe Satur-
day as a day Of rest? Add u these all the
puzzle questions about the relative moral value
of excursions to Coney Island, "the poor mans
club theatrical performances, phonograph con-
certs in penny arcades grand opera, literary
recitals and hand organs; then pity the poor
commissioners.

SAVED FRON NEW YORK AGAIN

The Controller Of the Currency's call for
statement of the condition of the national banks
reveals what good excuse New York really is
When the country banker wanted TO call loans
or went to issuing scrip he cheerfuIly told his
complaining customers and depositors that it
was all on account of that wicked partner, New
York. IF New York would only return to
the money that is rightfuly ours" he exclaimed
Indignantly, we should now be extending loans
and paying cash dollar for dollar" How many
a worthy country banker said that while with a
panic that far surpassed anything shown by
depositors here he was boarding away cash as
he never did before. And not the poor lonely
country banker only, far from the support of
clearing house, but the city bankers, too, with
the support of clearing houses almost strong
as the New York Clearing House itself. "The
amount OF actual cash on hand is the largest
lin the history of the city, Chicago joyously re-
ports Salt Lake City has % per cent reserves.
No other city has done quite well as Salt
Lake, but probably many village banks have
surpassed 1t. New Orleans has 50 per cent re-

Tacoma has 80 per cent. Why, we dare say that
If this country had not been suffering from too
much New York these worthy bankers would
have heaped up In their vaults cash reserves of
100 per cent, all the while calling loans dealing
out scrip and scolding New York,
OF course, it is all New York's fault: but in
tie light Of the bank statement showing them
al rich in cash while New York was poor, with
s per cent less reserves than the law requires,

the money and starving the country's industries

try bankers knew Of New Yorl's needs and had

10 this city. They were serving their communi-
ties any Way, while New York was causing all
the trouble, 1t is only the sklful management

BRITISH AND GERMAN WAGES.

The agreeable report is made by the British
Board of Trade that a turning point seems to
have been reached anG passed in the industrial
conditions of the United Kingdom. From 1897
TO 1900 the tendency of wages was upward
ILtil what seemed 10 many an excessive height
had been attained. Then came turn, and for
five years the movement was downward
though happily it did not proceed as far as had
the upward movement. Now another change has
occurred. In 1906 for the first time since 1900
the balance Of wage changes was in favor of the
wage earners. OF 1115OOO workmen. nearly
1.09S,o0O received advances aggregating $4,000
q week, while 5000 suffered reductions aygre-
eating $500 a week, and the rest kept their
wages practically unchanged. The net gain
in wages therefore amounted TO S2S9.5OG a
week. Most of these changes were effected
without strikes or other disturbances More
ever, they were accompanied with consid-
aEuble reduction Of hours of labor. This wear
the upward tendency of wages continues and
0ere is ground for expecting it TO do so for a
series of years.
4 similar report though less detailed and
convincing is made by the German Minister for
the Interior, ia reply 10 Socialist demands that
something be dcnc by the government to relieve
the distress caused hv the high prices of meats
and other articles of food. MIR. Bethmann-HolI-
wec admits that the cost of food has increased
But he insists that wages are now steadily
rising. and thus are enabling men TO pay higher
