The early closing movement has tnk
en life here and while not yet in the
healthiest condition begins well. The
dry goods and hardware stores are to
close every Tuesday and Thursday ev-
cnlngs at 6 o‘clock. There is no logl
cal reason why all the stores with the
possible exception of drugglsts and
confectioners. shouldn't close early ev-
ery night in the week biit Saturday.
Experience proves. elsewhere. that
dealers gain nothing by keeping open
and thanks to the Retail Clerks' union
that inaugurated the policy in some of
the cities. towns are falling into line.
Give proprietors and clerks their ev-
enings; do business during the day.
Opponents to early closing are in a
majority of the class that is itself fight.
ing for shorter hours. and reasonably
so yet fall to appreciate some sacrifice
'on their part in order that their broth-
ers and sisters in the stores may ben-
efit by less than 12 to 14 hours labor
every day. A seifllsh policy is not one
that commands regard nor wins gen-
eral approval.

terview yesterday afternoon at the Loy-

said: "Too much credit cannot be giv-
en the regular troops for the superb
manner in which they have done the
work in the Philippines. They have
shown just what stuff goes to make up
the United States army. The Filipinos
are indolent to a marked degree and
they have absolutely no confidence in
what they are told by the American
ofllcers. Possibly this should he modl~
fled to the extent that they have no
confidence in the promise made them.
This is due to their past 300 years' ex-
perience. in time it may be possible
to educate the Filipino to exert himself
so he will do something. The pacifica-
lion the islands is practically comv
nlete.
