tack; the senate therefore became the
storm center of assault. BY telegram,
by letter, by resolutions of CONNER
cial and Industrial associations and
unions. by interview, by threat, by
entreaty, by the opportunities of
men and the clamor of creditors. by
newspaper criticism and contention.
by pamphlet and circular, by the sin
lister pressure of a lobby of limitless
resources. by all the arts and all the
power of wealth and organization,
the senate has been and will be be-
sieged, until ii capitulates or the
Underwood bill shall have been en-
acted. With the fate of the nation
and the life of democracy in their
keeping | thank God that 40 sena-
tors have thus far held the citadel
and preserved the ark of the cove
Mant. The hosts of protection draw
ing much aid and comfort from some
democratic sources have not yet pre-
vailed against them. The President.
whose serene faith in the body of the
masses clothes him as a mantle of
fire, gives us the stimulus of his pre-
cept and example. Shall your sena-
tors desert the ranks at this crisis,
because the monopoly of the sugar
trust is threatened? If the surren-
der, why not those from New Jersey,
from Missouri, from Oregon? Why
should not every one of us yield to
the call of his home community,
throw the common interest aside. re-
mand the consumer to his ancient
burdens, take Aldrich as our Moses,
and confess that we are party of
hypocrites and liars? God pity a
party which quails and falters when
confronted with the crisis of great
opportunity. He alone can save a
people who are abandoned at such a

"It would be much more logi-
cal,' he went on. for the organi-
zation to have entered the primary
and general election campaigns
last fall and to have thrown our
influence to those candidates
whose loyalty to the principles of
protection were well known than
to wait silently until the people
had elected a revision downward
delegation to congress and then
demand that they break their
pledges to their constituents. IL
would have been the sensible
stand to take: but all will admit
that we cannot afford to become

SATURDAY
CLOSING
Merchants Favor Ho t
Weather Holiday but
Not Big Trade Day

THE proposition agitated in this
city every summer for several years
to give store and office employees
a halliday holiday during the week
while the weather Is hot has always
met with my approval" declared Lon
Schmidt of the Schmidt Hardware
Company today, ''and our firm stands
ready to enthusiastically Join in an
agreement to close not only for half
day. but for a WHOLE day so our
employees may rest, provided that this
half day or whole day does not fall
on Saturday. 1t would be working
an injustice on the farmers to close
Saturday afternoon. Saturday is the
great trading day for the farmers.
For years they have come to town
from all sections of the valley on
Saturday afternoon to do their trad
ing and for a great many reasons II
would not be feasible or just for the
business men of this city to try to
force them to break this custom. |
am heartily in favor of the hot
weather half holiday or am ready to
ioin in for a whole days rest, but in
Fairness to our farmer friends we
should not set this holiday for Satur-
day." concluded Mr.. Schmidt.
f. f. Feldmeier of the Fsldmeier
Hardware store, holds views similar
to those held by Mr.. Schmidt am
ready to close my store for whole
day or half day during the week
while hot weather prevails, just so
that day is not Saturday. The far
mers would be greatly inconven-
fenced; in fact, they would suffer
from a hardship. Let's have the hol-
iday. but let's not work an injustice
on the ranchmen when we can easily
have the holiday without working
such injustice"
With no stores do the ranchmen do
more trading than with hardware
stores. consequently the statements
of the above firms have considerable
weight
The Sentinel finds that the move
to have a half holiday during each
week in the summer is popular one
but there is considerable opposition
to making this holiday on Saturday.
