One of the strangest attempts at
legislation yet recorded is now being
made in the English parliament, com.
monty known as the daylight saving
bill. English people begin their days
work an hour later than is customary
in America and in addition to that
England lies considerably farther
north than the United States. The
days are therefore longer in summer
and shorter in winter than in this
country. These facts entail waste of
daylight which Englishmen believe to
be an industrial handicap. Instead of
remedying the condition by the natural
and sensible plan of getting up earlier,
members of parliament are trying to
do it by changing the time of day. The
bill provides that at two o'clock in the
morning of the third Sunday in April
of each year all clocks shall be put
forward one hour and remain an hour
in advance until the third Sunday in
September when they shall be put
back an hour. They fail to consider
the confusion which would reign in
regard to mails, the departure of
trains, and steamships and the trans
action of international business. In
fact, that so stupid and senseless a bill
could actually be taken seriously in
enlightened England in the twentieth
century passes the comprehensions of
ordinary Americans.

Mr.. Bryan is in considerable doubt,
apparently, as to the shrewd and wise
position to take on the prohibition
question. He has declared that he
heartily approved of making the
church the starting point of the fight
against intemperance and has offered
his congratulations to the leaders of
the prohibition movement for the
progress accomplished in various parts
of the country, although he declined
to announce himself as specifically in
accord with the movement It is not
at all surprising that so astute a
politician as Mr.. Bryan should be in
clined to toy with the prohibition
movement. While it has had an aston
ishing revival among the southern
democratic states, and it is natural
that Mr.. Bryan should seek to get in
line with his most loyal supporters.
the trouble is that the thrice defeated
leader cannot make up his mind
whether the temperance wave Is per-
manent or transient. If Mr. Bryan
were only sure that 1t was a swelling
wave which would sweep it's candidate
into the white house in 1912, he would
instantly become the most enthusiasts
tice prohibitionist ever, but it might
be as transient as free silver and the
rest of Mr. Bryans paramount issues.
Meanwhile the uncertainty is wearing.

Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley See, who had
