THE DAYLIGHT BILL.

The daylight saloon is knocking at
the door Of the Iowa Legislature. The
daylight saloon differs from the pres
ent Iowa saloon not in degree or kind
but in the length Of the business day
permitted it by law. Our Iowa saloons
under the present law run from D
o'clock in the morning until 10 at night.
The daylight bill which is TO be re-
ported back to the house this morning,
sets the hours Of saloon operation be-
tween in the morning and at night.
1t cuts of FIVE hours Of the saloon day.
The merchandizers OF cities and
towns all over Iowa by mutual agree
ment close their stores at to $50
o'clock. The purchasers Of groceries
and clothing and every other necessity
find that the time elapsing between
in the morning and in the evening
gives sufficient opportunity to purchase
fgor all their needs. Is there any reason
able excuse to be offered for keeping
saloons, universally conceded vicious in
their influences and traffic. open longer
than the grocery stores. II men can
procure all the sugar and overalls thel1
families require between and ii

Il considered that eight hours sleep is
not too much in twentyfour. that a

proposition.
This bill ought to pass. 1t is good

SHOULD GO FARTHER


WEBSTER City Freeman-Tribune.1
When Senator Chase gets woke up
he is a whole steam engine with
dynamo attachment and goes toward
the goal with genuine Rooseveitian
enthusiasm and dauntlessness. His
recent amendment in the senate lin
iting attorneys fees to 800 in election
contest cases Is an exhibition Of what
he can do when he gets started. Prob
ably every lawyer in the senate was
opposed to that amendment, but being
afraid of the cars they jumped into the
band wagon with an aiacrity that must
nave astonished themselves as we'll as
the distinguished sponsor OF the prop
osition Now let the senator take a
couple of more strides. Il would not
be a bad idea to limit the compensa-
ton of lawyers In certain damage
cases. For instance: When some poor
fellow gets a leg taken off or other
wise manned for life and brings ac-
ton against the railroad company or
other corporation he is nine times out
of ten entitled to all the jury allows.

GUN TOTING."

(Des Moiues Tribune.1
The Evening Tribune has little con-
fidence in any gun totius' law that
does not get back to the sale Of fire
arms.
Not until the sale is restricted,
much as the sale Of deadly poisons,
will the state be getting anywhere.
Why should not the sale OF deadly
weapons be confined to purchasers wao
had first secured a public permit. prop
erly recorded? Why should not the
salesman be required to keep record
of the sale?
1t would be no hardship on the man
who has use for gun or revolver to
file a formal request. nor on the
salesman to keep a proper record OF
the weapon and to whom sold.
Merely prohibiting gun toting under
harsh penalties will not DO the busi-
ness.

Huerta declared that he had reforms

Mexico cannot succeed himself If
Diaz is appointed foreign minister and

Consequently Diaz could not be
