MOVE UP
CLOCK
Steal Another Hour
of Daylight
BY THE EDITOR

Tacoma thus far has taken no step to
save one of its greatest summertime as
sets. And this season of all seasons
when we have the greatest need for it.
Our daylight!
Why not resort to the simple eXpedi
ent, beginning May l, of setting our
clocks one hour ahead?
Then we all would get up one hour
earlier, go to work one hour earlier, get
through work one hour earlier, and be
home one hour earlier
Dinner eaten, we then would have
the same number of hours of leisure be-
fore bedtime as we have ROWLAND
OUR WHOLE EVENING WOULD
BE DAYLIGHT.
That means we would save light bills,
save eyesight and most important of
all, we would have one hour extra to
work in our gardens.
Multiply one hour by the number of
people the change would effect in Taco
ma and that result by the number of
days in the summer and YOU obtain an
aggregate of time which is quite stu
pendous. That amount of labor en-
pended in our backwards would spell
POTATOES. PROSPERITY and PEP.
Move the clocks up May l, City Com
missioners.

FARMERS ORGANIZE TO
PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS

The farmers of Idaho are confront
ed with an opportunity to gain their
best desires, politically and in bust
ness way. They may, II they Will,
band together in non-partisan
league so powerful in voting numbers
that it may elect it's own nominees
to all offices in the state. The plan
is to fight thru some organized party
controlling the nomination by means
of the primary. The league, where
it has been successfully in operation,
brings back the old caucus system,
thereby making it again possible to
choose candidates with open eyes and
before the world.
The non-partisan league is being
promoted in all farm states, ana
about ~ are in line. North Dakota
has been triumphant, the league nav
ing elected complete state ticket,
using the machinery of the Republic
can party. Ray McKaig, field sec
rotary of the league. at a recent
meeting, told the farmers OF Blng-
ham county of North Dakota's big
step in this matter, and in the week
following this meeting James Pendle-
berry and S. J. Donaldson have Sc
cured 4S members for the league IN
this county.
Reasons for the existence of an in
dependent league of farmers are not
few, In the great market OF the
world men trade to advantage when
ever they can. Organization gives
an advantage that nothing can COM
hat hut another organization. Every
body has had his organization chance
but the farmer, who feels that ne
is the victim of them all. He feels
that the middle men have taken ad-
! vantage of him because of his de-
tachment, because he always stooa
alone.
In North Dakota certain reforms
will be tried out, and If they mater
ialize according to hopes, other
states that are organized will have
an opportunity to adopt tested plans.
One of these is to crowd out the
improbable investor who buys LAND
to hold for high prices, while the
men who develop land ne1ghborlng
to his are taking all the chances, get
ting the benefit of weed seeds from
the vacant land, and paying almost
all of the expense of raising the
whole country up in the scale OF de-
STABILITY They are going to make
these SPECTATORS pay share OF the
land tax, tho there is not thing
planted on their land. This IS
step in the direction of the single tax
system that is in operation in British
Columbia.
All meetings of the league are prl-
yate. Just before election they hold
community, county and state eau
cuses to decide upon a ticket. They
choose men known to be outside all
political influences past or present.
They pay all campaign expenses
They will not take candidate who
proclaims himself They want strong
men out of the fields. The member
ship fee is SIC, and that pays ex-
penses the year round. 1t is estl-
mated that rs per cent of the popula-
ton of Idaho is on the farms, and
hitherto the farmers have not mad
time nor money nor inclination to
delye into politics. Now with wide
spread organization, for which they
are ripe, they propose to exercise
their rights of majority.

FRANK ERNIE, IDOL OF
OLD TIME BOXING FANS

This is the fortyAsecond birthday Of
Frank Erne, the former lightweight
champion, who took the title from Kid
Lavfgne in a bout at Buffalo in 1893,
and lost it to Joe Cans in the first
round of-a bout at Fort Erie in 1902.
Erne was born in Zurich, Switzerland.
but was reared in Buffalo, where he
gained his first knowledge of boxing
while working as a pinboy in the
bowling alley of an athletic club. At
ter losing his title to Cans the Swiss
boy took on Jimmy Britt, and was
knocked out by the Californian. He
then retired from the ring, although
he took another whirl at the old game
in 1908, when he went to Paris and
defeated a fighter named Curley
Watson.
In his early career as a boxer in
Buffalo and New York Erne fought
such good men as George Siddons,
Solly Smith, Joe Leonard, Jack Sicily,
Young Critic, and George Dixon. In
1889 he was at his best, and after
whipping Dial Hawkins the California
terror, and George Elbows" McFad-
den, he annexed the title of George
Lavigne. In making weight for con-
test with Terry McGovern he weak
ened himself so that he never fully
recovered his former endurance and
speed.

Considerable interest was shown in
the remarks made by Herr Won Gwin-
ner, in regard to the exchange situa-
ton. Won tGwinner recalled the vi
cissitudes Of the Spanish exchange
during the Spanish-American war
when it fell fifty per cent.
He also spoke of the low state Of
American money and credit during
and after the Civil War and asked
whether there was any reason to
doubt that the credit and obligations
of a great, Industrious and capable
people like the Germans would re-
bound in like manner once the strain
of this war has passed. He recalled
that during the American struggle

namely, stern necessity He added
that he believed Germany had put out
far too much and therefore, "at the
Reichs Bank we have double the

Of England. We issued far more
paper than we should have" he re-
peated, "but we have not broken the
charter of the Reichs bank as the
English have the charter of the Bank

land bank certificates but not as
many as England"
