CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

For a good many years people have been advis-
ed to do their Christmas shopping early. Perhaps
nothing new can be said on the subject. Neverthe-
less, it is wen to emphasize the reasons why early
Christmas shopping is desirable: Perhaps too much
emphasis has been placed upon the interest of the
store employees in this connection. 1t has often
been urged that shopping ought to be done early
IN order that the clerks may not be overworked and
exhausted right in the height Of the Christmas sea-
son. There may be some merit in this view, but we
believe the fact to be that the store employees gener-
ally are prepared to take care of their trade to the
best OF their ability during the Christmas season as
well as at all other times, and that all possible
means are taken to enable them to work comfortably
and efficiently.
The early shopping movement is a movement
distinctively in the interest of the purchaser. A
purchaser needs to be accommodated with wide
variety OF goods from which to select and with good
service behind the counter. These things can not
be obtained after have been picked over and
when stores are crowded almost to suffocation with
last minute purchasers. No matter how willing the
clerk may be, he or she cannot wait effectively on
a customer when other customers are clamoring for
attention and everybody is in a hurry. At this sea-
son the stocks provided for the Christmas trade are
large and fresh. The variety is wide. There is leis-
ure in which to make selections intelligently and
effectively, and from this standpoint it is decidedly
in the interest Of the customer to make the Christ
mas purchases Just as early as possible.
The further interest Of the customer is served
in that early purchasing makes possible early dis.
tributioh. It is a trying experience to have tospre-
pare for distribution personally or by mail a large
number Of packages Just at the last moment before
Christmas. Most Of us have had some experience
of this kind, and if il can be avoided a decided adj
vantage will be gained. This experience can be
avoided BY making timely purchases. doing the
work i~rtelligently, and leaving abundant time for
wrapping and distribution.
From every standpoint, therefore, now with tie
THANKSGIVING Holiday over. It is desirable that the
early shopping movement which has already been
should be continued and extended. The
more Of our purchases se can make this coming
week, the greater will be the general satisfaction. 4

the men who were elected with him, and the pros
form and rehabilitation these officials, with the sup
port {. the people at large, will place the state
again where its credit will be as good and its stand
ing as desirable as its resources and possibilities
warrant.
In accordance with the intimations given that
the consideration Of the cases of wartime offenders
now serving sentences would be taken up soon after
technical peace had been established with al our
adversaries; it is understood that these cases will
soon be brought up for consideration. The most
conspicuous of these cases is that of Eugene Debs,
who has never denied the commission of the acts
charged against him or~the fairness Of the trial in
which he was convicted. Whenevcr-if ever
Debs is pardoned, he will return unchanged and un-
repentant.
