EARLY SHOPPING IS BEST.

About this time Of the year it is
usual for the newspapers to urge upon
purchasers of holiday gifts and holiday
material generally, the advisability of
making their purchases carly and not
waiting till the last NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Eve. A. very strong and sympathetic
plea is usually made for the overworked
clerks who have had a long days SER
vice the day before Christmas and per-
haps some days before that, and even
ings, too; but on Christmas Eve they
are expected to be in the stores till
midnight.
There is both sound humanity and
good business policy involved in the
plea to purchase early, 1t is extremely
cruel to the clerks, especially TO the
young lady clerks, to keep them at
work until lato the night before Christ
mas. It is sound business for pur-
chasers to buy long before that time,
for they thereby get the choice of the
best, and are able to satisfy themselves
more perfectly than if they wait, I'm
doubtedly, however, it is true that the
practice of dealers, which is quite com
mon, Of making great reductions in
their holiday goods on tho last night
is answerable for very much of the
postponed purchasing They could
make these reductions, however, Just as
well on the last day or a day or two
before, 1t is all a question of adjust
ment, and in some places they have
made that adjustment, with the result
that the stores are closed on the even
ing of the day before Christmas at the
usual hour. In st. Paul, for instance,
there will be no worn-out clerks on the
night of Christmas Eve. There will be
no holiday trade after the close of the
afternoon before Christmas. The peo.
pie moved energetically for the accom-,
plishment of this reform and the pro-
prietors Of tho Stores speedily ac-
quiesced-
1t appears that the movement was
taken in hand by an energetic man who
was in deep earnest, and who rested

THE WATERWAYS CONVENTION

The delegates in the river and harbor
congress which has just assembled IN
Washington appear TO be doing lively
work. They have called upon President
Taft and have got from him promise
that he will use his influence for the
Improvement of the waterways OF the
country. AT the same tune, he pointed
out TO them the difficulty of getting
Congress to authorize an issue of bonds
for any purpose other than the Panama
canal, and he showed them that they
must make very strong and concerted
effort if they expected to win; also,
there must be no sectionalism IN their
efforts, but that the whole country
should unite IN obtaining such leglsla'
ton and the Inauguration OF such pom
cies ms would thoroughly develop the
WATERWAYS of the country and make
them available for commerce, 1or de-
fense. and for public service-a plan
that would be worked TO TIL the I'M
provemcnts were fully made
AT the first meeting of this con-
press, held on Thursday, Secretary Ma
gel took a broad National view OF the
matter, claiming that the Federal Gov
ernment is the only power competent to
deal with the question, and that nclther
private enterprise nor State approprla-
tions could bo permitted to encroach
upon this work. The Government con
trol and supervision must be exclusive,
.rJ ~ ,,,ust bo as broad as the country
itself. The only locality notes struck
in the session, as far as reported, were
the Atlantic coast claim, where the IN
land passage along the Atlantic seemed
70 be the one thing desired, TO the eX'
clusion of everything else; and the sug-
pestion Of Mr.. Herbert Knox Smith,
Commissioner Of Corporations, that the
local communities interested and bene-
fted by the improvement OF waterways
should themselves furnish terminal ia
cilities for the improvements.
The congress seems on the whole TO
have made a very good start, ana TO
be thoroughly alive to the great lmpor-
tancc of the subject which 1T has In
hand. We trust that some practical and
general plan may be adopted by which,
although everything cannot be done at
once. 4 programme will be decided on
which will be pursued TO the end, and
until the waters of the whole country
are made available to the utmost pos
sible extent for commerce, trade, de-
fense. and public utility.

not until he had won his point That
forms are accomplished COM
petent person leads the way. A circular
received from ST. Paul explains the
campaign and its triumph in the fol.
lowing earnest style:
For weeks the hardships Of the big
Christmas trade upon the clerks behind
the down town counters has been live
subject with many prominent people OF
st. Paul but IT was not until Rev. j. j.
Lawler OF the Cathedral parish OF the
Roman Catholic church took charge OF
the movement that ii began to succeed.
Father Lawler conferred with the own
ers of the big stores. They wanted TO
know what their competitors were going
to do. Father Lawler settled that point
their clerks q Christmas eve at home,
and at a conference he argued the case
of the clerks before the assembled pro-
pIrietors. The closing agreement was
won for the clerks.
''Why. It's better for the proprietors
themselves" said Father Lawler Ito give
rush is enough to drive even a strong
man TO distraction. Just think what IL
means TO these young girls, tired out
already with n hard days work. and
many hard days of work during holi-
day season. The proprietors saw that
the argument was Just. and they agreed
to close. There is reason why every
store in America should not do the same
thing. Just as much business Will be
done. and Just as much goods sold Time
was when every city store was open each
evening in the week except Sunday. Now
they close and business goes on Just the
same. But the big thing is that ii is
better for these people who work to give
them their Christmas eve at home. 1t
means more comfort, moro happiness,
better home life, and every one knows
there's none too much happiness in the
world, II means that there Will be more
Willingness. more interest. more energy
on the part of the clerks when the stores
open again. It's great move, and the
agreement OF the merchants to shut ND
shop and quit at the end of the afternoon
before Christmas is one OF the finest out
of many fine things they have done In st
Paul.
"Over the country this subject Is re-
ceiving much attention. and IL deserves
attention. Trains don't walt for people
who are late. Banks close early and do
business Just the same. Stores can close
without losing business, II only they ad-
wise people In advance. II Just means
that the rank and file OF us must shop
a little earlier, and not let our careless
ness make n cheerless. tired and dreary

NOT A TRAP, BUT CUPIDITY.

There was something else that Elder
b, F. Grant said in his address at
Pioneer Stake hall on Monday evening
to which some attention should be
paid According to the Deseret News:
He told of many attempts at entrap-
ping men prominent in reform move
mentS. and he believed that many had
been caught, and although innocent of
any wrongdoing, did not care to be pub
licly exposed,
In this matter Elder Grant referred
to the once notorious 'fstockade. -
Without saying so in so many words,
Mr.. Grant inferred that some Of the
elders had been "entrapped" in that
bawdy institution. And with respect
to that phase of the matter, The Trib-
uDe has been told story which pos
sibly illustrates the nature of the
''trap" into which some of the men
referred to fell. The story is to the
effect that one elder went to the pro-
moters. of the place, when the buildings
had just been commenced, and sought
contract for furnishing certain ma
terials. He was unsuccessful, some
other bidder having secured the sup
ply. 1t was not long after that that
this unsuccessful bidder became one of
the sheriff's chief minions in raiding
the stockade.' People who happened
to know OF the circumstances declared
that the activity of this particular in
dividual was not prompted by moral
reasons, but was merely born of a spirit
of revenge because he had not had a
share IN taking down the profits accru-
ing upon supplying materials and furn-
lshings in establishing the place.
So it seems that in this case, at least,
the ''trap'' was merely a deprivation
of anticipated profit, and that so long
as there was prospect of gain there
was willingness to help things along,
but that as soon as it became evident
| that there was no money to be made

CENTRAL AMERICAN PROTEST.

The arraignment by Latin-Americans
of our administration for It's lnterfer-
encc IN the affairs OF Nicaragua was
sure to come It is unfortunate that
the administration felt obliged TO IN
terpose in that case as 1t did, and 1t IS
doubtful if any good will come OF 1t.
Especially is this so when we recall
that though the rasping note from sec
retary Knox exploited the concurrence OF
the Central American states in the
matter cited, we acted without the
concurrence of any Of thom, not even
Of Mexico.
The Latin American republics OF
Central and South America have been
always extremely touchy with respect
to the predominnnce of the UNITED
States IN New World affairs. They
have often asked what the Monroe
Doctrine' means, and whether 1T IS
not in its ultimate basis and meaning
really an assumed reserve assertion of
some sort of sovereignty or exclusive
control over those nations. We have
always expressly disaVowed any such
Interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine,
and disclaimed any intention to take
any supervision or control of the al
fairs of those countries. At the same
time it is pretty hard to reconcile these
disclaimers with the Monroe Doctrine
itself. That doctrine declares against
the added mouarchical control of Eu-
mort
of America. But if any Central or
South American republic wishes TO make
concessions of such control, how are
we going to prevent it unless we as
scrt the sovereignty which we dis
claim7
We do not know what Importance
may be attached finally to the persons
who assembled IN the City of Mexico
on Thursday night TO denounce this
government for it's interference in Mica
raeua; but there can be no doubt but
that it will prove an incentive to IN"
flammable declarations of various kinds
from the mouths of Latin Americans
against the United States. The charge
that our dealings with Zelaya's govern
ment and our interference with Mica
rapuan affairs was a violation Of the
first principles of international rights
is a pretty severe arraignment, and if we
add to it the additional statement
which undoubtedly was made. although
not reported, that this violation of the
first principles of national rights was
taken in the case Of Nicaragua be-
cause Nicaragua was small and help
less, and that we would not have dared
to have so interfcred in the case of a
| strong nation, the arraignment would
| be substantially complete. And the
worst part of it IS that it would be
entirely true. The consequences must
be TO give those zealots in the Latin
| American republics who seek to foster
and cultivate hatred of the United
which they have largely lacked here.
tofore. They have pointed out the diff
ficulty of our position in maintaining
the Monroe Doctrine and at the same
time admitting the absolute freedom
and independence of all control or SUI
pervision of the Latin American states.
That, however, was simply matter
of logic and argument Here they have
a practical case, concrete instance
of interference, and control which they
have heretofore only affected to dread
