RETAIL CLERKS FAVOR
WEEKLY HALF HOLIDAY

At the meeting of the R@ail Clerks
association last evening the votes on
the summer closing proposition were
counted and it was found that a poll
of 55 stores shows a majority of 1913
in favor Of a weekly half holiday,
rather than o'clock closing through
out. The Pastors association recently
took action in the other direction, de-
claring on its own authority that a
majority of the clerks were not in
favor of the half holiday idea.
The clerk will make an attempt to
have other organizations throughout
the city endorse the Friday afternoon
closing idea.

BRIDGEPORT'S SUNDAY WAR


It must be rather embarrassing to
be the Mayor of Bridgeport and have
thirty or forty ministers laundering
at you from as many pulpits simultan-
eously because you do not enforce the
Sunday law Mayor Buckingham
probably thinks so. He did not make
the Sunday law, and does not make
his fellow citizens disobey it, and cam
not make them observe it. What is he
to do? He has done about the best
thing. He has pointed out that the
ministers themselves in serving their
declaration Of war upon him express
ly approved Of Sunday concerts for
workfngmen, a form of recreation
which is forbidden by a clause of the
law which imposes a fine of four dol
lars on everyone who attends a Sun
day concert. He thus illustrates the
conflict of public sentiment with the
letter of the law, and asks how he is
to decide which amusementS are and
are not permissible, when the law for
bids ALL
The ministers are insistent that pro-
fesional baseball and public dances,
which are at present being advertised
and held at Steeplechase Island, shall
stop, on the ground that they may ex-
tend to other parts of the city. But
the very rigidity of the law which they
invoke is presented as the obstacle. 1t
is notorious that the law as written
cannot be impartially enforced. A
special class of offenders may be pros
ecuted and punished, but they can and
will invoke public sympathy on the
grounds that other larger classes are
exempted from punishment. If by
reason of lack of observance, the Sun
day law has become a mockery, in the
attempt to enforce it, can it become
anything else but an injustice know
ing as we do how universally it is
broken?
There should be some common
ground on which all reasonable peo-
pie can meet on this subject. Ger
tain Sunday practises forbidden by
law are now by common consent fit
and proper for the time and place.
The strict Sabbatarians' inevitable
reply to this representation is that
the law should be changed if it does
not fit the conditions They should
be reasonable as we'll as Iogical. If
they want to see the Sunday law en-
forced, they should help to write a
law that would be enforceable.
The general assembly is still in
session. Why not revive the adj
nirable bill presented by Mayor Fisher
of Middletown.

POLICE LOOKOUT ON

Well, the Bridgeport ministers got
after Mayor Buckingham Sunday for
not stopping baseball, at Steeple-
chase Island, he being attacked from
thirty-five puipits. 1t is said that
the mayor by his attitude has made
himself solid with the masses while
the managers of the resorts at the
island are tickled to death over the
advertising given the place by the
clergymen. The attendance at the
Island Sunday was $1,000 the largest
in years.

In places where it is impossible to secure ice every day a good way to keep butter and milk cool is tp secure large common flowerpOt and seal the hole in the bottom with plaster of paris Place the bottle containing the milk and the covered crock with your butter in it.
 Fill the pot with cold water to as great a depth as is possible without the bottle or crock floating. Cover the pot with a board or some tight covering and set in the open air. but not in the sun; if possible where a breeze will strike it.
 The evaporation from the water on the outside of the porous pot will keep the contents several degrees cooler than the outside air where there i~ any air stirring.

ZION'S PROPHET-

NoliYa. who succeeded in oustiug Dowie from th" leadership of the Church of Zion. as the leader of it's peopl, with the title of Elijah the di- rect descendant of that Biblical prophet has fallen lt was to be expected for Dowie predicted it years ago. that a leader Of the people like Volva would in time wind up his career in serving Uncle sam for failing to follow the strict letter of the law. m connection with the management of the great in- stitution he had built Lp in Zian City on Lake Michigan few mile from Chicago.
 Dowie may. and again he may not. have been a true prophet. but he called the turn on his successor. for it com mences to look as if Noliya will soon be doing time for election frauds.
 The minute religious organizations commences tu mix up in politics. 1t is the beginning of the end Religion and politics are as hard to mix as hard oil and cold water They never form a perfect union, the line of dcmarkation always being distinctly drawn
 The late prophet of Zion believed he could run the political end of the af- fairs of his city as we'll as the religious and his first attempt finds him firmly clasped in the clutches Of the law. When he gets through he will be a sader and perhaps wiser prophet. The mantle of Elijah may have fallen upon his shoulders. but in its transmission from prophet tu prophet it has lost much Of it's former power. which repre- scented the best there was in mankind. taken from any standard of measure ment known as the Golden Rule.

MORGAN. THE MONEY KING.

During the past three weeks J. P. Morgan, who is called the American money king in Europe has been fiirt- ing with the nobility and paying for the same in good American dollars that would make many a poor family well ta do for the rest of their natural lives
 Money sure is what makes this Nor gan go To meet the man. he is even less than ordinary in outer appear ances He cannot deliver an oratlon. his conversational bump is represented by dent, SO We are informed. when the subject drifts ta other channels than that of finance yet he is received by King George. given an audience with Emperor William. invited to Italy. and other nations for what reason?
 To the ordinary mind the answer is. that being the representative of mill lions he is able to purchase his way to the presence of kings and emperors, much the same as the fellow with the price can get a seat in the senate. or on the New York Stock Exchange.
 Money is the magic key that unlocks the doors. and allows a body to be granted far more privileges than he could ever hope to attain minus the wealth.
 J. M. Morgan was able to rent the millionaire flats In London during the coronation. he was able to be Eraned an audience with King George. and no doubt contributed many thousands to- ward the coronation fund by so doing He Is given an audience with Kaiser Wilhelm, and presented him with a letter worth a fortune to any fellow But perhaps the emperor did not know he was to receive il before hand, but we have our own opinion on the sub Ject So on down the line every time Mr. Morgan fiirts with nobility he pays the price just the same as the little fellow who gets gay with the dashing widow then is forced 10 pay the cost and damages in q breach of promise

 In the simple life. or back on the farm where the people are close to nature. there is no desire for stimu- Tents which creates excitement and furnishes to many form of amuse- ment they seem to. require in thickly crowded places
 In large cities there is so much of what is termed unnatural living, the habits, dress. manners. even to eating and sleeping are such there is so much of the unreal about it. people are driven to find relief in the glass. The extremes of both joy and sorrow are celebrated with liquid refreshments, and city life being always in a state of ferment with every mothers son on the dead run trying to catch up with the living that is always just beyond their reach is a good place for the de- sire of spirits fermenti to get a strong hold upon the masses
