oN KEEPING had sARRArH

Some 1900 years ago in the city of Jerusalem there went on a discussion concerning Sabbath ob- servance, similar to the now in progress A preacher was going about procaiming ideals new to the times. He shocked conservatives with new in- terpretations of Sabbath proprieties His name was Jesus.
 According to the gospel of Luke Jesus was teaching the Sabbath day. And He beheld a woman that had a spirit of nfrmity IS years'
 And when Jesus her He called her, and said to her, Woman thou art loosed from thine infirnity. And He laid His hands upon her; and immediately she straight and glorfied God"
 Thereupon. a man opposed to Jesus and His teaching moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath ." This man arose and addressed the multitude, saying There are six days in which ought to work; in tlem therefore, and be healed and not the day of the Sab bath"
 But the Lord answered him and said, doth not each one of you the Sabbath loose his OK from the stall and lead him to the watering? And ought not this whom satan had bound To- these IS years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?"
 On two other occasions Jesus clashed with the leading citizens of the community over Sabbath observance. On one of these occasions He healed with withered hand and in response to pro- tests He said
 T ask you. is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to life destroy it?r
 He also gave sharp answer to the "scrbes and Pharsees' who protested because His disciples had pucsed grain from the field and eaten it on the Sabbath.
 Thus win be observed the question, What shall and shall not be done the Sabbath?' dates from the dawn of the Christian era. And generally, as in the case of Jesus Himself the question been answered as condition. common sense and necessity dictated.

Co operative Stores

To the Editor. Republican:
 Dear Sir-I note that in your eoito- rial of today you speak of the failure of the treasury employees store Tn Washington. D. C., as the failure or q cooperative store.
 It is indeed inevitable that in a pc riod of depression some of the 4,000 CO., operative societies in the United States should go down. Some of them have been started by people who know next to nothing of either merchandising or co o-operation who nevertheless thlnk themselves quite capable of going IL alone without affiliating with any or ganization able to give them warning or advice. Some societies in their en- thusiasm. regardless of such warnings. attempt enterprises ridiculously out of proportion to their capital. Fortu- nately for tho southwest all the stores in it are connected with the Pacific Co., operative league. which is not only a wholesale but a supervisory body, whose experienced officials insist on the control of new enterprises and keep enthusiasm within bounds.
 I am not familiar with the situation at Washington; but it is evident that the store which has gone wrong there was not cooperative store in the usual sense-a store run on the Koch dale plan, connected in some way with the cO-OpefatfNe movement 1iiNf-t
 the Rochdale plan the withdrawal Of share capital by ], zoo of the 1000 mem bers in an unprosperous time would
 be as impossible as in the case of an ordinary joint stock company. No safe business can be run under such
 withdrawal conditions. (Rochdale i stores do generally provide for buying i out a member who is leaving town, for l instance. but wholesale withdrawal is impossible). Again no responsible CO., 1 operative organization would for a mo- 1 ment listen to any suggestion of
 store enterprise based on an invest 1 ment per member of S5. Not less than
 ten times that amount is the usual
 minimum
 The Washington treasury employees store was organized rather on the lines | of the civil service stores and the army
 and navy stores in Great Britain, en- terprises which there have given good 1 returns to their memberships, but
 which are on quite a different basis
 to the Rochdale plan and have no con-
 nection nor sympathy herewith. They
 spring not from q general public move
 ment but simply from the success of
 the army canteen. and they have there , fore no social significance whatever } They are no part of the great move ment of workingnnen, farmers, the gen eral public of consumers. which is
 surely--and not slowly replacing il . Britain the private retail store by one : on lines more In accord with moderr r ideas of economies.
