1t is as an accommodation to the
buying public that the Saturday night
and the holiday season are desired. No
other state that attempts to regulate
hours of labor shuts down as Connec-
ticut does on holiday and Saturday
night trade. IT Is against the inter-
ests Of the buying public. The request
of the managers of these stores that
they be allowed to do business at these
times is altogether reasonable. Shut
tins down Saturday nights would prove
an actual discrimination against the
laboring classes, who are the chief
buyers at those times. If the case

1t would be small wonder indeed 81
the editor of the Harrodsburg Demos
crat has not opened up an endless
controversy with his readers with
the following advanced views on quit
rickleish subject:
Some persons are always worry
irg about death and the coffin and
shroud are cons antly before them.
But why worry about death II we
live sanely? We know that death
rust come: that it is just as nat
ural as birth, besides being absolute
Iy. essential 10 the enjoyment of high
er life.
Why should a funeral procession
move slowly and mournfully when
the soul of the lump OF clay in the
Eearse is awakening In a place Of
pure delight.
Our funeral Gus oms are about as
senseless as possible, If not positive
ly heathenish. This is generally con-
coded but the old habits are not
easily changed.
In early times the doctor who had
assisted the deceased to leave this
world walked arm in arm with the
preacher, bareheaded and slowly.
Doctors don't do that now. II
they did they might not have so
much time to devote to their live pa
tients. 1t was the fashion then, and
fashion makes great difference.
An then II religion be true, and
our hopes are well grounded, why
should we not rejoice when friends
are relieved from pain and suffering
and given peaceful, joyous rest.
And, II we believe what we preach
and live as well as we know how
why should we fear the grave? il
seems as though we ought 10 Welcome

The fact OF the matter Is that nc
one is afraid 10 die wher the hour q

made by Secretary of the Interior Bal

Yates Of conservation Of natural re
sources will have nothing TO ask beyond
a strict enforcement Of the law. The
seeretary's report, made public today,
has been read and approved by Presi-

opinions upon the various subjects dealt
with, and to that extent is an indication
Of the recommendations which the Pres

when it eonyenes next Monday.
Secretary Ballinger's report is in NJ

In it the many weaknesses Of the publ,
land laws are pointed out, and prsctica
remedies are suggested. The repor
gives evidence Of great study Of tn
various problems discussed, and ind

new secretary Of the interior has gon

partment.

no excuse whatever for officials of al

Because of the prominence given |
the question OF water powers throug

rotary Ballinger's views on that sul
ject perhaps outshadow all other fea
ures Of his report. In discussing pow,

plan of legislation, which is offered as
suggestion for the guidance Of co
gress. and not with the idea that h
recommendation will be followed e
plieitly. Rather, the plan is presents
as basis for discussion, and incidents
