The merchants of Washington arc loth to close their stores on Saturday night until their clerks have been on the floor for about sixteen hours. Thore is no lustlflcatlon for this action on their part. They can close their stores at 9 o'clock and will | soon learn that there will be no losses because of the early cloeing. Peo-1 pie are going to do the same amount I of huslness when the stores close at j 9-o'clock a* will be done by keeping open until 11 o'clock. The merchants should be willing . to concede this without being forced Into It by a city ordinance. The people are demanding a recognition of the justness of their claims and tbey will ask the Board of Aldermen to pass an ordinance compelling the closing of stores at 9 o'clock p. m. on Saturdays. i uero enouid oe no xrictton between clerks and their employers, but their employers should also consider the interests of their clerks from a humane standpoint. The churches and other religious organizations are solidly b hind the movement and the'y will not stop short of the goo!. ENDORSE MOVE. ^s will be seen elsewhere the Daily News the Board of County Commissioners give notice that at their next regular meeting to be held Tuesday, May 5, they will take under consideration the matter of purchasing a tract of land for the purpose of maintaining a county home. From the notice published over the signature of Clerk G. Rumle? it .would seem that the commissioners wish to be>.ure land at or near one of the railroads. This is a move in the right direction and the Daily News hastens to endorse heartily the contemplated action, for a more suitable location for the care and maintenance of the county poor has for years past been imperative. There is no reason why the county home should not be made self-sus-i tainlng and no burden to the tax- j payers of fhe county and one of the' main avenues towards accomplishing this is secure enough land for farming purposes. Some will argue possibly the home should be located within close proximity to Washing-j ton. This we think is not essential as all, neither Is it absolutely neccs- j nnrv flint <f h a Ritiiaff-tl nn a rail-1 road?the prime necessity should be adequate farming facilities, thus enabling the county to receivo as much as It pays out for the poor. If there Is one Institution in the county more than another that I should receive more attention than < at present, it is the county home, but! at the same time it should be opera-1 ted at practically no expense and this can be done if managed properly. This we believe is the intention- of the commissioners in ashing for owners of land to appear before the body at their forthcoming session and submit sites, which they think would be suitable and adopted for' a home for the infirm. As stated above, the move is one that shouid receive tho endorsement of the entire county. Let's not only improve our county home, but at the samj time place it in such a condition that it will be! self.sustaining. O.her counties In the state are doing this, why no'.

Hayes was willing to lie to shield her J From the knowledge that he knew would be the bitterest part of all the p wormwood that she had already tasted. "Sometimes I wonder," Mary con- It tlnued, reflectively, "sometimes I'm M, [ilmost positive that?No! Blade isn't g: that sort of a man. My husband Isn't that sort of a man, Rob."

Hayes waa find- ^ lng the cross-examination extremely of trying, convinced as ho was that Mary Qfl must bo saved from the knowledge of. Katherine at any cost. "If there wore . anything, you'd hear It. Don't worry." ^ "Robert," and she looked at him In- .. tently. "Would you tell me If?" , j "No. I would not!** asserted Hayes vigorously. "Haven't you got enough trouble now?" "But, Robert, you are my friend, aren't you? You ought to?" Ho was saved from any further questions along that unwelcome line by the sound, of the doorbell and a . moment later Merritt opened the door ^ without ceremony. "Well!" Hayes was far from cordial. % or "I beg your pardon for entering so abruptly." Merritt was the eame old he talkative, suave, good-fellow, I'm-your- . friend-Merritt, "but I was "hound to see Mrs. Sladc. I'm for the Blade family? but I'm for all the Blade family, so I hope you won't make a stranger of m?" , Mary was politely lndilferent and Hayes, with back turned, waa tapping ?t his foot uneasily on the floor. Alto- th gether not the warmest welcome a C1 man ever received. "Thla man 1b likely to publish any- ..j thing you may^eay, auntie," Hayes h| warned over his shoulder. ^ "Oh, come now, Hayes," objected Mervitt, "I'm here on a perfectly friendly visit.

Mer- n ritt was determined to make conversa- 0 tion if he had to do it alone. "I'm g quite alone. In fact, we're in the same ? boat?alone." "I'm not," Hayes burst forth. ? "Thank God, I've got my troubles, but li I'm not married, so I'm not quite alone." p Mcrritt laughed good-naturedly, glad r at any kind of response. e "Pardon me,-Hayes," he cleared his throat nervously.
