Thy Ni-wh Is glad tu kuow rtn? sag* ? ^gestlcn^Jn -Saturday's nuper jn rwfer . . _,ence to the merchants closing thfir ? places of business earlier Saturday night, is meeting with approval. This fs as It shouM be. There are no cldss of people iu the wor|d that work and * toll harder -or have longer hours. Th* News has noticed In Washington. ao*l we believe th'lflk assertion will hold good in other towns, the 'difTer , *ent stores open a* early as t? o'clock week day#, and 'close during certain portions oi the vi?af? litHe before T p. m. Other times, the stores are kept open to 9 o'clock and very often later. Saturdays they remain at their work up to i j o'clock at night. - The News can re:ffltly\>7Ti demand if a par: df the merchants close their stores Saturday night at 11. and some keep open on hour liter, the early clos&r will be the loser. But If all the merchants .shod Id come to gether and resolve to close all over the city 'promptly at n o'clock, then all would share alike, and their reg ister would shpw.just as much cash closing time as if tUey .were to keep open 'an hour later. .An overworked. . ^niftlnr" cannot render to his employer. that faithful ness. that attention ills Interest de-jl mantis.* There* Is such a thing as too r much worTT ifnd'there is s'ucb a thing s as too little work.
