Employee S Side.

One of several received from a rep
resentative or spokesman of the clerks,
says:
Editor Advertiser have read the
article in regard to keeping the stores
open evenings, and also the editorial
upon the same, and would like little
space in your paper to comment adj
verselv.
In the first place, most of the white
merchants of Honolulu are men who
put the golden rule into practise-they
"do as they would be done by They
consider the health and happiness of
their employees. They realize that
eight hours per day in tropical eli
mate is long enough for any clerk to
sit at his desk or stand behind coun-
ter. They are humanitarians rather
than grafters. For this reason they get
good service from those they employ.
Honolulu clerks as whole are more
courteous, more accommodating and
less tiredlooking than those I have
found in New York, Boston, Chicago
or San Francisco, and 7 think it is
because they are treated more fairly.
There is a great cry throughout the
country against sweatshops, long hours
and unsanitary storess Shall our mer-
chants association be the first advo-
Yates of these in Hawaii?
Perhaps there would be little obiec-
ton to evening work if two sets of
clerks could be provided and ample
time given to cleaning and ventilating
the stores, but few business houses
could afford this expense.
It might be well for the man who
can throw down his work when he
likes, take a day off when he likes
have quiet evening at home when
he likes, to stop and think of the under
man and ask himself if he would like
his son or his daughter TO work fifteen
hours a day in a store or Office.
As to losing the trade of the men
from the forts, that is. all nonsense.
The soldiers have more leisure during
business hours than the ordinary work
ing man or woman. and the officers
more than the enlisted men. Uncle
Sam men find that they can make
their sixteen dollars per month 60 far.
Their in the oriental quarter than they
can in the haole stores, consequently
they spend their money there.
Are we behind the cities of the
mainland7 7 hope we are if we are to
let the Japanese and Chinese set the
pace for the white man. If we fol-
low their example. few Of our stores
would close their doors before mid
night.
IF the members of the merchants
association would interest themselves
in early closing in all sections of the
city they would do more toward equal
izing trade than by trying to enforce
longer hours.
Then. too. they would be doing a
kindness to the little children who
sleep in these stores or in adjoining
rooms
Many Of the little people who live
near or in stores in the oriental dis
triet come into the schoolroom at nine
in the morning weary, heavy-eyed, list
less. because they can not retire early
or. if they do, are kept awake by loud
talking.
Early closing would remedy this evil.
The true patriot and benefactor loves
not gold more than he does his fellow
men. I. II. WALKER.

Yankton Press & Dakotan Feb. 10:
Alva M. English, pioneer citizen
and five times mayor of Yankton,
died at his home in northwest Yank-
ton at 1880 yesterday morning,
after quite a period of i'll health.
The sad news IA not unexpected
when it arrived and it was received
with numerous expressions of great
regret, Mr.. English. in his many
years of residence having endeared
himself to all classes of citizens.
Alva M. English was born Dec.
%, 1886, at Middleburg, Addison
county, Vermont, and moved as a
young man with his parents to Wis
.consin and later to Minnesota. In
the year 1860 he decided to come to
Yankton and walked the entire dis
lance to this then frontier town,

funeral will be 1880 Friday morn
ing from the home, Rev. G.. w. Ros-
enberry, officiating.
In the death of Mr.. English this
community loses one of it's able his
torians. Mr.. English not only passed
through many stirring scenes Of the
earlier days but he was able to write
entertainingly Of them, a somewhat
are accomplishment. He has contri-
buted largely to the fund of informa-
ton for later days South Dakotans
to read and his literary productions
were of more than ordinary value
and interest from their always being
personal recollections. AS an enter

many readers of the magazine.
