This, or a similar announce
ment, will appear in the advertise
ment of all the progressive stores
in Newark today. Every man,
woman and child in the city should
be proud of the liberal spirit of Its
merchants, who, at a not incon-
siderable financial loss to their re-
spective businesses, take this rad
ical step for the welfare OF their
employees.
No more hot, health -sapping
night work during the summer
months. Less money at the end
of the week, perhaps, for the store
keeper, but more smiling faces
and healthy bodies.
We congratulate the merchants,
our employees and the public, as
this is a distinct step toward a
GREATER and more metropolitan
Newark.

CLARK PERKINS INSISTS
HE is NOT CANDIDATE
(From staff CorrespondentD

-
LINCOLN, Oct, 6.-(Special )-Secretary
Clark Perkins of the State Railway com
mission, denies that he intends to retire
from that body for the purpose of run
ming next year for the office Of railway
commissioner. He asserts he has bought
the Aurora Republican and that his re-
turn to the newspaper field is for bust
ness only. In this connection Mr.. Perkins
today said.
I'm commenting upon my prospective
retirement from the secretaryship, GER
tain newspapers have suggested that nv
motive is 10 enter the race for railway
commissioner from the outside next year
This is an entirely mistaken conclusion
My decision TO return TO the newspaper
field is governed solely by business rea
sons and a genuine liking for the work
IN which spent practically my entire life
before assuming my present position
There Is no mystery or political strategy
about It. My relations with the COM
mission have been uniformly pleasant and
the duties agreeable But there Is no
possibility that / will be a candidate next
year, nor any other year so far as nv
present plans are formed. My highest
ambition at this time is TO print the best
newspaper in Hamilton county. Now IS
The time TO subscribe"

IRON staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Neb., oct. 26-(Special.)-
The Lincoln Traction company today
hled with the State Railway commission
he reply to the complaint lodged with
that body some time ago by the public
service league wherein that organization
requested the establishmnt OF Scent
rare system here on lines within three
miles Of the heart OF the city.
In the brief the Traction company sets
out that the comparison made by the
public service league between the cities
OF Cleveland and Lincoln is not Just, due
to the fact that the amount of population
and its density. two controlling factors
IN profitable street railway operation, are
vastly different in the two cities.
