THE HOLIDAY HABIT.

There are some members of Con-
gress who seem to think that life is
just one holiday after another. One
of them is the esteemed representa-
tive who wants the business of the
United States suspended for a whole
cay each year in commemoration Of
a discovery which Columbus did not
make. Another is one who proposes
that June II be designated as Nat
ional Good Rroads Day. AS in the
case of other holidays he would have
the holiday observed Monday when
ever June II falls Sunday.
The nation is sorely taxed now with
hol days some of which are celebrated
more from sentiment than from pa
triotism or necessity. If it becomes
the program to commemorate each
event or parsonage in the country S
history, pretty soon we'll be closing
UP stores and taking holidays on the
anniversaries of the landing of the
Pilgrims, the battle of Bunker Hill
the midnight ride of Paul Revere, anc
the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde
pendence; we will solemnly observe
the day of the calendar on which
Washington had his first shave: Pooh
hontas, Molly Pitcher, Barbara Erie
tchie and the Statue of Liberty viii
also be entitled to annual red letter
, days.
Even in that chimerical land of per
lection and idealism-in Utopia, the
imaginative realm created by Sil
Thomas Moore-the natives only hat
two holidays a month-these taking
/ place on Sundays. Martin Luther full
minated and inveighed with all thu
earnestness of his indomitable being
against the practice of holidaying fo'
inconsequential reasons. For agre
there has been a tendency to depar
/ from the Roman custom of having
holidays for this and that.
It is some satisfaction to know thai
the introduction of these holiday
bills practically terminates their life
Congress does some apparently SILL
things sometimes, but the majority o
our representatives and senators hav
| hardly reached that frame Of min'
K where they regard life as a circus
and business as a sideshow.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.

At the instance of the Council o.
Defense, a daylight saving plan will
go into effect in Americas Monday, a
program which will undoubtedly give
greater satisfaction to the merchants
in all lines of trade. 1t means fewer
hours for them and the elimination OF
much unnecessary work. -,
The hours have been so arranged
as to protect each business, and yet
so as to make all things equitable for
both the merchants and the public. 1t
simply means, for the period of the
winter, anyway, business by day
light
Americas has always shown a cor
dial desire to cooperate to the fullest
extent with every patriotic regulation,
and it goes without saying that in
this matter here will be an Vnani-
nous response There is nothing
mandatory about it, unless the fuel
shortage becomes so acute later on
as to Justify the fuef administrator in
enforcing a positive order. But those
merchants who should violate the
rules would be promptly branded as
disIoyal and would receive the public
stigma of a Stacker. Nothing like that
is calculated to happen in Americas,
however.
The merchants are now getting on
a basis that will be profitable to them
when the war is. over. They are elm
mating credit gradually, they have re-
duced their deliveries, their prices
have been stabilized, and now their
opening and closing hours are being
regulated so that no one will enjoy
an advantage over the other They
have never been able themselves to
get the public into line on these mat
tiers. and now that the government il
doing SO for them they feel keen
sense CT qualification and relief.

NISH.

The Serbian army, which has taken
Nish, despite the vehement resistance
of the Austro-German forces, is the
body of troops which lately made its
way out of Monastir, where it had
been for two years, to Phillip and
thence into the Vardar Valley, where
| 1t found the rail route northward.
When this army first went to Monas-
tir, at its own eager instance, it was
10000 strong 1t represented the up
built remnantNof much larger force
that left Serbia late in the fall of
1915, crossed the mountains Of Monte
negro and Albania and came down to
Corfu in a pitiably emanciated and
enfeebled condition. Till life itself
is extinct, nothing can destroy the
lighting spirit of the Serbian soldier.
The present situation is remarka-
bly, dramatic In the fall of 1915, be-
fore the Austrians. broke into the
western half of Serbia and the Ger
mans took Belgrade and the railway,
the Serbs at Nish made festal prep
arations to welcome the Allies. They
hung out flags in anticipation of the
troop trains that never came. Then

Now, having made the enormous and
arduous circuit, they are themselves
performing the journey and effecting
as a climax the investiture which the
combined British and French forces
marching from salohica were to have
undertaken.
The Serbs had an incentive on this
wentieth-century Anabasis that has
been wanting in the case of the Ger
mans, the Austrians and the Bulgars.
They have been fighting to regain
their own homes and to relieve their
own families When the army evacu-
ated Serbit, and hundreds of thous-
ands of civilians at the same time
came away, there were still left more
than three million peOple-something
more than half the population-who
preferred to take their chances. They
have led miserable existence. Phar-
aoh with the Israelites was bene-
factor compared with the iron hand
ed Hun in King Peters country. The
oppressive rules enforced in Belgium
have been in vogue in Serbia. When
q fve-year-old child threw bomb at
a group of Austrians and twenty-five
adults were put to death to pay for
the offense one had an admirable il
lustration of the reign of terror that
has been continuous for three years.
With Nish taken, the route from
Belgrade to Constantinople through
Bulgaria has seen the last of the
tnrice-weekly train from Berlin that
was the mighty whittier" before the
Kaiser in the bevant. Belgrade comes
next. Serbia will be long time set

This cause originated with letter
from W, C. Stump Of Silver City Of
February IS, 1917, protesting against
the rate charged on trunk boxed
from Orange, Texas, to Silver City,
The matter was promptly taken up
with the traffic department Of the
Santa Fe and an investigation made,
and it was finally developed that
the shipment involved was not re-
leased to the valuation Of ten dollars
per hundred in case of loss or dam
age, which release is necessary N
order to secure the benefit Of the first
class rating, and consequently under
the classification governing the rate
was one and one-half times first or
S319 per hundred thru, which re
suited in an overcharge OF Sl.Ol.
Draft for that amount was received
from the Santa Fe on January p,

acknowledged receipt on January 2s,
