STATE STREET STORES HAVE
TABLED CLOSING IDEA
The Day Book made an investiga-
ton among the State street mer-
chants today and discovered that at a
recent meeting of the State Street
Retail Merchants Association the
subject of closing on Saturday had
been discussed but passed over.
Edward Hillman, of the store that
bears his name, said he was in favor
Of the plan and had been for a long
time
However, in Chicago here, one
store cannot do it alone. If were to
do it, for instance, it would be just
the same as making present to the
Boston Store of all the business l
could get on those days.
1.-The matter was discussed at
length by the association when the
Wanamaker talk came up, but if any
thing is done it won't be until next
year"
Henry Elliner, manager of the
Boston Store, had said the plan
would throw all the business to the
outlying department stores. The re-
porter asked Hillman about this.
81 don't think that would hurt
State street very much, he answer
ed. eff we all closed together the
effect wouldn't be very harmful to
business"
EIlinger made the unusual state
ment that it would hurt the girls
more than any one else on account
of the percentage on sales system.
MandeTs, Fields and Carson, Pirie
& SCOTS close now on Saturday aft
eTnoOns.
Edwin F. Mandel says he finds that
it makes the clerks brighter and
more efficient.
Eddie Lehman refused to make
any statement at all.

5me our partners in this humans
tartan effort and aid us by concen-
trating their purchases within the
five days, so that hot Saturdays may
become health-giVers to the workers
without loss of pay.
''lt is true that, for years, we used
to close at noon, but noon oftentimes
was one o'cIock and when our peo-
pie reached their homes at two or
three o'clock, the WHOLE of the
Saturday was practically GONE!
NOW that the store closes at five
O'Clock, the people are free on Fri
day to take late trains to shore and
mountain places and on Monday
mornings, taking turns, half our peo-
pie need not report for duty, until
nine o'clock. This practically gives
two full days Of country rest, if so
desired, to our workers.
1.-THE keeping open a business
house on Saturday a half day was
practically giving nothing to the
work people, as the day was lost in
coming and going, counting the
hours of serVice!"
What John Wanamaker said on
this subject is most important, for
there is not a merchant in America
who will deny his leadership among
them.

THE NEW COUNTY CHAIRMAN.

The democracy OF st. Joseph county
never buildeG better than it did Mon
day when it elected Rudolph Acker-
mann. chairman of the county COM
mittee.
Ackermann is a man of business
acumen. of organizing ability. and
keen. political sagacity. He can be
depended upon for a clean, consid-
crate, yet aggressive administration OF
the partys affairs.
We say this too with all due regard
for the qualifications OF Judge Fara-
baugh, whose name was also placed
before the committeeman. as a candi-
date for the office. 1t was nearly as
possible, race between equals He
too would have handled the party
business with honor. but Mr.. Acker-
mann won. and so he is the man to
look 10.
His short address in acceptance be-
spoke a goOdly purpose. He rose high
above all factionalism. Everybody is
TO have a square deal. \ contin-
uously united democracy is his plat
form. and that is necessary if the
party is TO win. \ county chairman
should know no factions: nothing but
the welfare of the party as a whole,
and his aim should be 20 keep it work
ing together.
With such able support as has been
given him on the central committee,
in Duncan ]. Campbell. vice chair
man, Otis f. Romine. secretary and
George J. Oltsch. treasurer. Mr.. Acker-
mann has a fine opportunity. and what
ali democrats should do now is 10 set
together and help.
4 Hitting succession TO the retiring
chairman. George w. Zinky. and his
aides Mr. Zinky has made splendid
record. He deserves the congratula-
tions and good viii of every democrat
in the county. As secretary Of the
county committee, then as its chair
man. and meanwhile acting as city
chairman. he has shown remarkable
wisdom Has retirement is we'll earned
And no one could succeed him with
better propriety than Rudolph Acker-
mann

soME PLATFoRM NECESSITIES.

Democrats in convention at Indian
apolis Thursday must not forget a
number OF things. There are issues
to be fought out in the committee on
resolutions that call for a progressive
report. or it is more than probable
that there will be a demand for sundry'
amendments on the floor OF the con-
vention.
Among these issues is the popular
demand for a constitutional convention
and a new constitution for the state,
and another demand equally popular,
for a statewide primary law. Demo-
Gratis. fun samentally democratic, can
not remain true 10 that fundamental
democracy and seek 10 deprive the
people of either of these demands.
The present constitution is old 1t
was fit for the people of fifty years
ago, but not sufficient for the people
of today. Modern civilization demands
many reforms that the present funda-
mental law Of the state renders i'm
nossible. Indiana may not be quite
ready TO adopt all these proposed re-
forms, but when it is ready, if that
time should ever come. it is fitting
that the present Anticipated constitu-
ton should be out of the way =.
A state wide primary law means
the passing Of the old convention sys-
TEN. but dearly as that system may
appeal 10 older men. acclimated as
they are to it. a new generation is
coming upon the scene that regards
il with distrust and demands an equal
show for everybody in the nominal
tions the same as in the elections.
We are building for the future, not
the past. If the people want direct
nominations and a statewide pri mary,
well. this is the peoples government,
and the democratic party to be the
peoples party. must give the people
what they want.
The Indiana democracy cannot af-
ford to overlook these two vital re-
forms in franLg its next platform.
IL should pave the way TO them with
sincere platform promises, and then
the men elected on that platform must
expect to make good or be forever rel
egated to the limbo of past useful
ness.
The product of our modern school
system. and our colleges, the press and
the platform: we have with us a gen.
Grafton batter endowed with general
wisdom, than has any previous age in
history This generation knows what
il wants. and proposes to have it, and
il not from one source, then from an
ether.
If there be reactiOnaries in the
democratic party. they might as well
step aside. Progress must rule.

LET THE FACTORIES SET AN
EXAMPLE

Because of the nature of the indus
try carried on, it is not always possible
for a manufacturing plant to present
an attractive appearance to the world,
or to maintain one once an effort at
soothing down the raw edges is made
But a good deal i'm the way of re-
ducing ugliness TO a minimum can be
done with almost every factory.
The litter around the average fac
tory corresponds to the stuff packed
into the average garrett. 1t is material
not particularly valuable but thrown
to one side because the courage to
destroy it altogether or sell il outright
is lacking. Factories could get rid of
this materials and be the better off for
doing sO-at least in the matter of
looks. They could, many Of them.

claiming.

Then Nine. CaillauX hands her re-
volver To the office boy and calmly
submits TO arrest on the arrival of
the police, who hurry her off to prison.
1t is announced that Nine. Caillaux
will be acquitted. There is precedent
for it. When Nine. Paumier, wife of
deputy was attacked by La Lantern
in 1902 she went to the newspaper
office and shot the editor. The un-
written law protected her. She was
discharged
Unwritt@n laws are often better en-
forced than written laws. They are
fewer in number and frequently better
founded n reason and justice. At
lacking character is more serious than
attacking life From assaults on the
latter one may recover. but for in
juries to the former there is little or
no remedy. Unwritten laws are
products Of the written laws failures.
