twenty-eirht days to each month and
the month always beginning Win
Sunday. This plan is favored by
business interests, some OF tnen.,
Sears Roebuck recently, navtns
adopted this plan in their accounting
system. There are some commercial
ADVANTAGES, but also many CONNER
cial disadvantages to this plan winch
I will not treat in detail. SutficlenI
may be the fact that out OF 1000
chambers Of commerce that votea III
a recent referendum on this question,
1918 voted negative. The negative
groups lacked only fi6 OF balancing
the vote and 1t Is Of interest TO know
that the negative votes IN nearly
every instance came from groups VINO
were furnished with detail informa-
ton as to the many disadvantages III
the plan as now proposed. The pub
lie should study this question.
wish to call attention to what IS
the most serious objection to the plan:
It disrupts. the septenary sequence OF
the week days as they have come to
us from the prime date OF creation.
A year Of thirteen months. with only
twenty-eight days to the month,
gives US 364 days, which lacks n DAY
Of completing the year. TO provioe
for this, at the end Of the year q day
is to be known as "no-day" n not
be counted on the calendar. Literal
ly, to keep in step with the new calen-
dar, one must have n week each
year Of eight days, and on leap years
there would be two such weeks; one
in the middle, the other at the end
Of the year. Very easy. isn't It? TO
the casual observers this seems all
very simple, but there are many thou
sands Of people throughout the world
to whom this arrangement will bring
great hardship. There are the Sew
enth-Day Baptists. the Orthodox
Jews, and the Seventh Day Adven-
fists. These are the only bodies that
have voiced their protest with the
Foreign Affairs Committee at WASH
ington where hearings were held. In
1894 their Sabbath will fall on Fri
day, in 1885 on Thursday, etc. This
will throw them out of joint with

lie school system, not only as to the
children attending school but as to
those now holding positions as teach
ers. In our country where we be-
lieve in the protection Of the minor
tiles in their sacred and inalienable
rights, some one should take this to
heart.
Some one may ask, why can not
these people swing in lire and just
keep the day that comes before Sun
day, whatever that day may fall on?
The answer is that these people be-
lieve that the blessing pronounced
upon the seventh day as recorded In
Gen. 2:3 still holds. They are OBJ
serving this day at present under
great handicaps, and the proposed
change in the calendar will only
multiply these handicaps. We appeal
to the liberty loving American to aid
US in the opposition to this new calen-
dar when the opportunity presents
itself. Why should the commercial
interests be permitted to saddle an
institution upon US in which there is
involved the setting aside of Gods
time" The accounting systems can
adopt this plan, as many have done.
without the necessity Of making such
q radical change in the calendar.

Bismarck. N. T.

Editor, Tribune:
Last week I had some business mat
tiers to attend to at the Capitol and
for twenty : one minutes I observed
four clerks or stenographezs in a GER
tain office ~congregated in a corner
talking and laughing. Soon after I
called at the Court House and to my
surprise I saw half a dozen or more
persons from the same office attend
ing the leasing Of the school lands.
Whether or not these people realize
that they are public servants, and a.
such the public is entitled to honest
services, remains to be seen.
I hold no Crude against any Of
these persons. but it does seem to me
that there is poor management IN the
part of those who are entrusted with
the expending Of our public funds.

Rochester & Pittsburgh.
~ the Associated Press.

9U the Associated Press.
-.Iruission to purchase control Of the
s@n-nile line of the Buffalo Rochester
and Pittsburgh Railway was given the
Baltimore s. Ohio system yesterday by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Allegheny Corporation, present
majority owner of the Buffalo line, will
turn over to the Baltimore g. Ohio 81
per cent of the outstanding stock of
the Buffalo line for $14,263, 216.
AS conditions to its approval, the
commission ordered the Baltimore g.
Ohio after the purchase to keep open
all traffic routes now established by the
Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburgh, to
agree to purchase at arbitrated prices
control of any connecting short line
which may be allocated to it. and to
offer to minority holders in the Buffalo
company the same price for their shares
which the Allegheny Corporation will
receive.
BY the transaction, the commission
said, the Baltimore & Ohio will be able
to establish a new direct route over its
own rails from Baltimore to Buffalo
and in addition will be able to establish
a new short line between Chicago and
New York.
