saTIKDAN CLOSING

Merchants of New Britain have had their say about summer clos ing hours, especially upon Satur- day nights. and so far as can he seen with the naked eye, the re- suit of the discussion has not con- ccntrated in uniform action,
 But the successive attempts to arrive at an agreement no doubt had it's valuable features. There was an interchange of opinion that was educational to the majority; they know each others minds bet ter. realize their problems and perchance have q better respect for differing viewpoints.
 Changing of shopping hours in city of this size probably moves slower than in larger cities; and for that matter. some of our mer- chants are ahead of those in larger cities in this connection.
 Those who have changed their closing hours upon certain days are expcrimcntcrs who do a serV- ire to all if the experiments prove successful. We learn by experiment tation. and where vital matters of finance and business are concerned some merchants no doubt are jus tinod in being willing to permit others to be the eXpcrlmenters while they learn from the results
 Shopping habits of the public have changed considerably within the last decade, without a doubt especially in tho summer time This change must be credited in largest part to the automobile. Yet SO long. as everyone is not com petely in accord upon the extent of the changes manifested there perhaps is nothing lost in eNperl- menting further and engaging i'll another annual discussion--Wlth perhaps better chances of an acrccment--neNt year.

LETTING OFF STEAM THE ONLY RESULT

It is reported from Washington that the Senate committee which spent several weeks In listening to tho pros and cons of the prohbl- ton argument will not bring in Il report.
 The net result of the hearing, therefore, will he zero with the rim missing, The object was 10 give both sides an opportunity to entertain tho country with a futile debate.
 How futile the wet and dry sltua- ton Is can be gathered from the extent Of the probable changes in Congress this year. In the Senate the likelihood is that there will be no more than ten new members. as 1t Is conceded the others up for reelection will come back, In the House the turnover will not be more than 20 per cent of its strength. If all the new members likely to be elected to either house were wet the gain would not be sufficient 10 change the dry law, in the estimation of careful observers,
 The best play for the vets, in the opinion of w. W. Jcrmane of the Seattle Times, would be to show their strength by carrying a few dry states by good majOritics. This, in our own observation, has point. It is tip to the vets to concentrate upon few such states and show what they can do. To carry states like Connecticut, New York or New Jersey does not prove much to the so-called dry states.
 So long as prohibition and anti prohibition is a sort of religion with both sides beating the air and refusing to be convinced there is any possible merit in the argu- ment of the other. not much change is likely to result from the Congressional hallyhoo just over. That probably is why the commit tee will not make a report.

TOO MUCH SPEED

II was only few weeks ago that the Boston x Maine reduced the running time of it's fastest train be- tween Boston and Montreal by two hours. the announced intention be- ing to make the service more at tractivc to the public. On Saturday Inc train jumped from the rails.
 The Boston &5 Maine roadbed is not as perfect as those of the trunk lines, and the railroad, in conjunc- ton with the Canadian Pacific, is using poor judgment in attempting 10 reduce what already was q fast running time between two cities by several hours.

RELIGION AGAIN VICTOR

The freethinkers. who stand for freedom to think in their own way for themselves but are intollcrant as to what others think, again lost in their attempt 10 prevent children from receiving a modiCum of re- ligious training during the week. Justice Ellis J. Staley of the New York Supreme court, before whom the freethinkcrs' contention in White Plains was brought, yielded a precedent that will be of far reaching value in the effort to mix q little religion and morals with education.
 The justice reiterated the doc urine established in the lower court that the child is not the creature of the state, and that half an hour of religious training on q week day in a building separate from the school and under church auspices, with the half hour sub tractcd from the school hours. is not unreasonable so long as it is not compulsory.
 This is the system that has been followed out in New Britain with success. Only the fact that there is no freethinkcrs' society in Con- nccticut probably prevented the local innovation from being taken 10 the courts.

IN DARKTOWN By Martha Macdonald

 He turned and saw a well-dressed negro, who Was waving at him in a careless, friendly way.
 "You have the advantage of me" said Dunhin, stiffly. Your face seems vaguely familiar, but I'm surc I don't know you. Good after noon!"
 He walked on. and at last with sigh of relief. saw his home in the next bloc. Hurrying little, for he was still strangely uneasy, he open cd the door and let himself in. To his horror, a woman rushed for ward to meet him-a negro wom- an,,
 "My husband" she cried and kissed him. What ails you, dear? Why-why-what's the ,matter?"
 Go away! Go awaf!" quavered the professor who was trying to wrench himself away. His trembling hands went to his face-to his eyes. Then understanding dawned on him.
