Move Against Street Noises

a S was predicted by The Times-Dispatch
"a several days ago, Council has heard,
through the ears Of its Committee Ordi-
nances, the voice of wisdom and the plant
Of the voters, in regard to the raucous cries
of peddlers and hucksters. Under the ord-
nance recommended by that committee, the
itinerant vendors will be compelled TO confne
their disturbance of the peace to the period
between o'clock in the morning and 3
o'clock in the afternoon.
Such ordinance will be reasonable
enough. and will meet the necessities OF the
case. 1t will serve the convenience of the
housewives and yet will prevent the clamor
that now fills the early morning, late after
noon and early evening. AT any rate il is
a step in the direction of abolishing unneces-
sary noises, and for that reason if no other
should be hailed as example of progress
siye legislation, just the repeal of the
DINNER ordinance was an example of retro
gressive thought

Day Off for Sunday Workers

WHATEVER may be ones views as to
w Sunday observance. there will be little
controversy to the right Of the worker to
freedom from toll one day in the week. The
morning newspaper with Sunday and Monday
editions which make work on the Sabbath
necessary, recognizes this right, and the day
off, is an established institution in every
enlightened newspaper esta blishment.
Work should not be done on Sunday I'M
less it Is reasonably necessary to modern
conditions of life. and in compensation for
labor Of this sort there should be another
day of liberty in the week Therefore, the
effort of the druggists to open their shops
on Sunday for a part Of the day only de-
serves popular encouragement. The drug
business is peculiar to itself, and only the
larger stores find it possible to allow pro-
prietors and employees the liberty they ought
to enjoy. Reform in this respect would be-
a worth while result of the present agitation.

IRE Why the Pension Plank Was Omitted
