CONGRESS MAY ADOPT
 GERMANIC IDEAS
Plan on Saving Daylight by Moving Back Clock Is Considered in
 New Movement.

Washington Oct. 31.-With the an no11ncement of the beginning Of a movement to urge congress at It's coming session to adopt a daylight saving" plan, comes from Austria that the plan has proved successful to the highest degree during the last summer.
 For the health of the people, ac- cording to the United States Consul General Albert Halstead at Vienna, 1t has been of the greatest advantage. Tn the saving of lighting it also has been most satisfactory. It Is cal culated that in Vienna alone the peo- ple consumed s142,0o0 worth less of gas while the city itself saved ap- proximately s19,000 in gas from street lighting.
 Watches and clocks through Aus tria-Hungary were advanced one hour at midnight April 30, 1916. The pur- pose was to secure additional sunlight in working hours. With the coming of shorter days of winter the CLOCKS were set back one hour at midnight. September 30.
 The plan also has been in use in several other European countries in c'uding France and Great Britain.

BANKS NEED NOT
 GIVE WIRELESS CODE
Practice Of Giving Messages to
 CenSOrS Will Be Discontinued

New York, Oct. 31.-The navy de- partment, 1t was announced today, has withdrawn it's demand that banks using the wireless to send messages to Europe shall file with the govern ment censor copies of their secret ciphers to be used for testing mes sages addressed to the banks to their foreign correspondents
 Since the establishment of the wire loss censorships the banks have will ingly given the government copies of their codes, but they had not been required to supply the Key" to the signature, which is the sole test of the authenticity of the measures. If that cipher became known, bankers said, messages could be sent to any part of the world instructing the re- cipient to pay out money and there would be no way of preventing the fraud. When this was explained to the navy department officials, they decided to accept the suggestion that the banks instead of filing the test words should merely give the wire less censors affidavits to the effect that the messages they sent contained TO objectionable matter. The banks also agreed to preface the test word or figures with the notation test.

Hughes and O'Ieary.
Bridgeport Farmer.)

MT Hughes admits his meeting with Jeremiah O'Leary, but says he said rothing to him that he did not also say publicly
 Whatever was said was satisfac- tory to the American Independence conference which MT O'Leary repre- sonted and was apparently satisfac- tory to the German-language newspa- pers, which supported MT Hughes with increased zeal. The issue is at least clear. MT. Hughes and MT. O'Leary think alike. But MT. Wilson, when confronted by the same demands which were sub n1itted by O'Leary sent a telegram which the world could read and which very sharply disposed of O'Leary's attempt to commit the gov- ernment to an unneutral course.
 As to the reckless quality of the campaign conducted by the American peace conference it's letter to the priesthood of the country is sufficient tcstim ony.
 The audacity and impudence with which this organization proposed to make the church an appendage of MT. Hughes campaign, even to the extent of offering to pay the ex- something hitherto unknown in Amer ican politics.
 The country may be sure that the Clergymen who responded to thlS ln- vitation were not numerous They resented the invitation, as trespass upon the priestly function.

 Nided as they are between Ger and Russia, the Lithuanians, &g in two opposite armies, are Selled to slay each other. It is
 Yer against brother. These are Seople who have inhabited the Hhn region and the Baltic pro-

Today they are being Sed between the upper and lower #tones, the last vestige of their 8-Iand gradually fading away < them. Five centuries ago 1t was anne race, under the Grand Duke : atas, that crushed the Teutonic zers at Gruenwald.

BUSINESS PICKING UP

American business men are not as worried over what will happen after the war as their political friends try to make out. If they are, why is it they have set about building new fac- tories and industrial concerns of other nature to the enormous expense of $450,00O,o00? That Is fair question, in view of the fact that investigation proves the figures true. Plans and specifications are already drawn for greater and bigger business buildings throughout the land. The sum re- ouired to make possible the work is close to half a billion dollars. Does it look as if there will be any let-up in work here after the war?
 We may be living in "Fool's Paradise,' and all that; we may be
 enjoying only temporary prosperity
 but the adjective in the latter phrase is taken from a Latin root, meaning time, and time is unlimited Ameri- can business men must view this pros Deritv as at least worth while or they would not cast their money away to the tune of $45O, 100000 for building new factories or remodeling old ones And the building of factories is but a preliminary step. It means work for men of the building trades and work for those who will turn out commodi- lies and necessities in the factories If looks like a bright future ahead for American workers.

THE PRESIDENCY.

Charles Evans Hughes when he admitted that his conception of the Presidency differed from that of Woodrow Wilson's seems to have opened up a great avenue of debate If not criticism. "I look upon the President as the administrative head of the government" says MT. Hughes who then says that Wilson looks up on the President as primarily the political leader and law-maker of the nation."
 A close study of this opinion ren- dered by the former Justice will dis the President as primarily the polit1- cal leader and law-maker of the na- ton" is nearer to the right than MT. Hughes who considers the Chief Ex- ecutive solely as "the administrative head of the government" In section three of article II. of the Constitution which defines the duties of the Presi- dent it st1pulates that 'he shall from time to time give to the Congress In formation of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Considera- ton such Measurers as he shall judge necessary and expedient; <" From the implied powers there 1t can be seen that the President is not ex- pected to conflne himself to the execu- tive branch of the government alone. If he did his Congress would run wild. The President Is the political head of his party and he has the right to see that his party, through its majority vote in Congress, does at least some of the things his administration sets out to accomplish.
 It is conceivable that Mr. Hughes, if elected, will have to live up to his definition of the Presidency and it's powers. This because either of two fates would await him. First, he might be confronted with Demo- | cratic Congress or at least 8 Senate controlled by Democrats, and then he would be powerless In exertine political leadership over Congress | On the other hand, 1t is conceivable l that the Old Guard of the Republi l can party might be in power and MT | Hughes would be as powerless before 1 that body as he would in front O. | antagonistic Democrats. If Crane
 Penrose, Smoot & Co.,, get control O. | form strictly to the definition give1 l by MT. Hughes.

"REV. ARTHUR WORTHINGTONo
Convincing Suave, Unscrupulous. Withal, a Character Worthy of Fiction
New York Sun).

Equip man with good looks, a fluent tongue courteous manner: extract from him all traces of con- science; turn him loose on the world and he will go far. His career may be punctured with jail sentences and enlivened with unceremonious depar- lures from the scenes of his activi- ties, but he will get along, as did the "Rev. Arthur Worthington," lately of New Hamburg, now vaguely assigned to residence in Canada.
 In '6S he married the first of the women who have called him hus- band. Two years later he deserted her and took to horse trading in a manner that sent him to the Albany penitentiary. On that foundation of achievement he has erected an edi- flee of fraud and sWindling that puts him among the adventurers of fiction and the heroes of the romantic past. Of wives he was an indefatigable col l lector; half a score of women are known to have called him husband and the record Is admittedly incom- plete. He even induced a teacher of free love to surrender to him his mate; triumph indeed for teachers of free love are generally tenacious oI lnelr OWL, ana liberal only Wlth the selected companions of other folks. Warrington forged begged, borrowed; he preached led the stroll CTS Hfe-h1s actress wife, deserted after three years, returned to the stage, saved her money and paid his debts in the town of their residence he pract1ced law, took to politics. He established a religion in New Zealand; 1t was too strong for the New Zealanders and Tasmania knew him next. Melbourne was favored after Tasmania had taken his meas ure; there seven years hard labor was the reward of his activities. He got $6,OOO from the Mormons in Utah, a thing worth talking about, for the Mormons are not soft Europe he saw at no cost to himself; and finally ne returned to the state of his birth and first incarceration, convincing suave unscrupulous, where he dwelt in an atmosphere of sustained virtue that only the deleterious habit of bor- rowing destroyed
 The rascal is too near us to stir our sympathy. The pathetic state of his victims gives an adequate meas ure of his villainy. But put Wor- th1ngton in a book; establish him in remote region; distort slightly the chronology of his exploits; and in terest1ng and incredible.

bill from s153,ss6,5oO to s1SO,24o,

14b.S4.
 Our soldiers and sailors, aged and infirm, their widows, orphans and de- pendents, are well taken care of by the new pension law, and Colonel John McElroy will not lift a hand to smite the man that made this possible. There are better things promised, too, in the way of removing some tech nicalit1es that have always worked against the interests of women and children left destitute by the death of husbands and fathers. There was a time when it was impossible for a widow of a Spanish War soldier or sailor to obtain a pension at the Pen- sion Bureau unless her husband died of disease or disabilities contracted in the service President Wilson has now made it possible for such a widow to collect twelve dollars a month pen sion regardless of the cause of her husbands death,-which is absolutely just. This nation Is big and rich enough to take proper care of those who were wounded upon the field of battle while defending the flag, and also of those who might be left be- hind, dependents.

MISSIONS AND THE c. A. R.

 fe John McElroy has been a Re-
 lean. Because of this and also of &great influence he exerts among ssmembers of his organization he #oeen asked to go on the stump for Niles Evans Hughes.
 For me to go on the stump against #ident Wilson would be to smite #hand that helped us," Is the way R RColonel disposes of the proposi- we old soldiers owe much to #ident Wilson. The widows pen law comes more nearly to doing Zee to the wives and dependents of gsoldiers than any pension law ever fed.

Of course, most &nd Army of the Republic veterans Republicans. I am myself. But < lever much we may disagree with Democrats over purely party mat as veterans of the Civil War we &t admit debt to President Will and his administration"
 Soionel McElroy is in close touch

It was tended in the Senate by the Re- blican majority of 1912, otherwise would today be even a more liberal Colonel McElroy knows, as puId every man in the Grand Army ow. that this act increased the pen n of more than 100000 soldiers l if is without doubt the best pen n law ever enacted by Congress
