ADJUSTABLE DAYLIGHT

From the Clevalnd Plain Dealer.
 The saving daylight movement has attained such strength in England that the principle is soon to be embodied in a parliamentary measure. Polls of Parlia- ment taken by advocates of the change indicate at least a fair chance of its en- actment as law.
 The proposition is that on the third Sun day of April of each year British stand ard time shall be advanced one hour, and that on the third Sunday of September 1t be moved back one hour. The object is to gain an additional 60 minutes of day. light during the summer months.
 At worst, Great Britain, because of ly- ing much further north. has longer sum- mer days than the cities of the United States. The evenings of the late spring

Preparations For War

Congress having justified President Wilson in using the armed forces for securing amends for indignities suf- fered by the nation in Mexico,p prep arations are proceeding rapidly for war. MT. Wilson will not call it war, but war it is. May it be brief and ac- companied with minimum of blood shed is the prayer of all right minded people.
 The occupation of Vera Cruz by United States marines has naturally stirred the constitutionalists as well as the federals. It was thought in official circles that brief statement lemanating from Carranza which reached Washington yesterday after noon, might indicate an alliance of the two camps under one banner for the purpose of fighting this country; but the text of Carranzas letter through the state department to the President which was received in Wash ington later, put different phase on the matter. The head of the consti tutionalists expresses himself as bit terly as ever against Huerta. Just what turn matters will take next can not be foretold at this writing.
 Carranza is politician, and is mak ing a strong bid for the sympathy of the nations. He thinks that if the United States is to invade Mexico he and not Huerta should be regarded as the representative of the nation. In the name of the Mexican people Car ranza asks the United States to with draw its armed force from Vera Cruz. But he cannot expect that to be done. Arms and ammunition consigned to Huerta's de facto government were about to be unloaded from a German ship at Vera Cruz. The President did just the right thing when, acting with dispatch, he prevented the delivery of the consignment. It still looks like war.
 If our modernized and larger stand ing army has cost a good deal of money it has been money economically expended, for if war of any magni- tude must come the United States is in good fighting condition. It was very different in 1898. The country was then unprepared for war. Of course, American arms were victorious over Spain in comparatively short time; but many soldier-life would have escaped fatal disease had the same eff ficiency obtained then as is in evidence now, to say nothing of the matter of discipline. It may be that the Mex ican war will be of short duration, but on the other hand our army may be in Mexico for considerable time possibly several years.
 The great majority of people in this country have absolute confidence in the administration ability to conduct a successful war, and the public stands periodically behind the President

, dicement preferred for the conspiracy to defraud the stock exchange.
 The trial coming on before Lord l Ellenborough, the noble and learned judge who was himself persuaded of the guilt of all the defendants, used his best endeavors that they should all be con victed. He refused to adjourn the trial at the close of the prosecutors case about 9 in the evening, when the trial had lasted 12 hours, and the jury as well as the defendants counsel, were all com pletely exhausted, and all prayed for an adjournment
 The following day, in summing up prompted no doubt by the conclusion of his own mind, he laid special emphasis on every circumstance which might raise a suspicion against Lord Cochrane and elaborately explained away whatever, at first sight, appeared favorable to the gallant officer. In consequence the jury found verdict of guilty against all the defendants.
 The following term Lord Coehrane pre- scented himself in court to move for a new trial but the other defendants con victed along with him did not attend He sdlu truiy that ne mad no power or 1n- fluence to obtain their attendance, and urged that his application was founded on circumstances peculiar to his own case. But Lord Peterborough would not hear him, because the other defendants were not present.
 Lord Cochiane was thus deprived of all opportunity of showing that the verdict against him was wrong and in addition to fine and imprisonment he was sen fenced to stand in the pillory. Although, as yet, he was generally believed to be guilty. the award of this degrading and infamous punishment upon young nobleman, a member of the House of Commons, and a distinguished naval of ficer, raised universal sympathy in his favor.
 Lord Cochrane was expelled from the House of Commons, but he was immedi- ately reelected for Westminster. Hav- ing escaped from the prison in which he was confined, he appeared in the House. The part of his sentence by which he was to stand in the pillory was re- mitted by the crown, and a bill was in troduced into Parliament altogether to abolish the pillory as a punishment, on account of the manner in which the power of infiicting it had been recently abused

NV HEN Lord EllenborOugh was chief Af justice of England, one of the W most trying cases over which he had to preside was that of Lord Coch- rane who later became the Earl of Dun
 donald, and the doggedly manner in which he pushed this case drew upon him a considerable degree of public obloquy, and
 caused very uneasy reflections in his mind which it is supposed hastened his death
 Lord Cochrane was one of the most gal lant officers in the English navy, and had gained the most brilliant reputation in a succession of engagements against the French. Unfortunately, for him, he likewise wished to distinguish himself in politics, and taking the radical line, he was returned to Parliament for the city of Westminster. He was a determined op- ponent of Lord Liyerpoofs adminstra- tion, and at popular meetings was in the habit of delivering harangues of rather a seditious aspect which induced Lord Peterborough to believe that he seriously meant to abet rebellion, and that he was a dangerous character.
 But the gallant Cochrane really was a loyal subject as well as enthusias- tically jealous for the glory of his coun- try. He had an uncle named Cochrane, a merchant and very unprincipled man, who, toward the end of the war, in con cert with De Berenger, a foreigner, wick edly devised scheme by which they were to make an immense fortune by a speculation the stock exchange For this purpose they were to cause a sudden rise in the funds, by spreading false in- telligence that a preliminary treaty of peace had actually been signed between England and France.
 Everything succeeded to their wishes; the intelligence was believed, the funds rose, and they sold on time bargains many hundred thousand pounds of per cents before the truth was discovered. It so happened that Lord Cochrane was then in London, was living at his uncle's house, and was much in his company, but there is now good reason to believe that he was not in the least implicated
 in the nefarious scheme. However when the fraud was detected-partly from be- lief of his complicity and partly from po- litcal spite, he was included in the in-

 "On the other hand. the awakening of the Japanese people to their power, their aspirations to become a world power, their keen desire to compete with Europeans and Americans in the neutral markets of the world have created sense of resentment among the minor section of the foreign com munity.

WOULD BRIGHTEN A HOME
Possibilities In the Presence of "old- Fashioned Grandmother" In
 the Family.

One need only scan the Situation to find that women workers are wan dering away from beaten tracks and trying out their moneymaking ideas.
 One finds also that because a wom- an is getting along in years she does not meekly resign herself to the no- tion that she has no earning capacity. She simply sets her wits to work and originates a niche for herself one where maturity is the very thing that is required.
 Here is an advertisement which re- gently appeared in a newspaper:
 FAN OLD FASHIONED GRAND MOTHER wants a position to super wise studies of school children, in- cluding music, Latin and reading aloud; can also do the alarming and mending at the home"
 We can all think of homes where just such a woman Is needed-oh, so badly!-a home where either there is no mother or one who is an invalid, unable to cope. properly with the de- mands of a growing brood of school children.
 Can't you imagine how valued an "old-fashioned grandmother" would be in such an establishment-one who could mend rents in garments and draw up the big holes that will creep into stockings, and hear lessons"
 It would not be necessary for her to know music and Latin. Just the simple branches-the three Rs," so to speak, would be enough, especially if coupled with the art of reading aloud or telling stories when lessons were done.

T. Miyaoka, formerly councillor in the foreign office, is a widely known lawyer practising in Tokio and Yoko- hama. He says:
 There is a historic cause to the growth of anti-Japanese sentiment among certain sections of the foreign community in Japan. During the regime of foreign consular jurisdiction foreign CTS regarded themselves as a superior and a privileged class. The compara- lively infantile stage of Japan's mate rial civilization, the system of segrega- ton under which foreigners lived in Japan, their absolute ignorance of the Japanese language and literature, their exemption from the territorial jurisdic- tion, all combined to make foreigners sincerely believe that they belonged to a much srDerior tyne of humanity.
