All Holidays on Monday.

Christmas comes on Monday, this year
whercat everybody is pleased. And is it
not peculiar state of mind, when a
thing that all people desire--such as
Monday holidays-cannot be arranged?
The world was made for man to make
the best of and get the most out of with
full regard to his neighbors.
The Monday holiday gives people time
for enjoyment; relieves business of mid
week wreck enlarges the scope of travel
adds to the domestic life of the nation, ct
cetera
If this is true. and if we do enjoy the
holiday on Monday, why not have them
all on Monday? Christmas could as well
be celebrated on the Monday nearest the
18th of December as on the day itself !;
for there is nothing but tradition about
that date. In the making of calendars it
has been shifted many times.
Fourth of July could be recognized as
Independence day as well by having the
ho'idny on Monday nearest to the Fourth.
Surely we could always have our Thanks
giving day on Monday. And we can
unite our Thanksgiving and our ARMS
tce days and make the holiday one and
the same on Monday of the week of
Nov. II.
