The movement put in operation on last Monday by the merchants
of Nam-1.x was a great success. rs. local rcci Committee would
recommxnd that all merchants observe the hours of closing on Mon-
days, as regulated by the local merchants' committee. which is the same
as is generally observed by the merchants in other cities. lt‘saves host
and light and therefore saves coal. A few claimed they could not stop
business. But thirty years ago, March, 1888, everybooiy and every-
thing stopped. There was a halt. no railroad trains, no mails, no
newspapers, no milkmen. and for a" few days we lived with the machin-
ery and all activities stopwd by a bllmrd. ‘

. THE WAR
War brings suffering at home as it does on the firing line. While
today’s bulletin does not present a rosy situation, with more favorable
weather conditions the coal problem would have a better chance of be-
ing solved. The present time. to say the least, is not the time for the
chronic fault-finder to indulge in his usual pastime. President Wilson
some time ago said that the people at large had not yet rectified war.
We think that they do today. '
