AN ASSERTION OF AMERICANlSM

The refusal Of the mayor Of st. Paul to deliver an
address Of welcome to the Nonpartisan league meeting
in that city implies no hostility to the farmers Of Min
nesota or to any organization which farmers choose to
create. 1t is an expression of hostility toward the ele-
ment which dominates the councils of this particular
organization in Minnesota as the same element has DOM
mated in North Dakota, as it dominates in every state
where the league has obtained q foothold.
Not a few members of the league here and else
where are becoming convinced that their membership
in the league. managed and dominated as it is, places
them in a false position. 1t is not pleasant for q man
who is a loyal, patriotic citizen Of this nation to find
himself associated in membership in a great organiza-
ton which is prominently before the public with men
who are known to have been guilty Of maintaining an
attitude of antagonism toward the government at a time
when the nation needs, more than it has ever done, =
government which has the united support Of the people.
It is not pleasant for them to be associated with men
whose course has been such that they are denied a hear
ing in communities of orderly and law biding people
solely on the ground that those who seek publicity are
public enemies. And that is why, while the league is
undoubtedly gathering some new members, old members
in considerable numbers are being led by motives of
self respect and public duty to abandon an organization
which they are now convinced they Joined under a mis-
taken impression of its real purpose and tendency.

MORAL SUASl0N

The experience through which we have been pass
ing during this past year is a demonstration of what
moral suasion can do for and with a people. Some
things the government has accomplished by command.
An infinitely greater number of things have been done
because Of the explanation that such acts were necessary.
The American people are today doing a multitude Of
things solely because they are convinced that they ought
to lido them. These things are not burdensome. They
involve no great sacrifice. But some of them are in
convenient, and they invoke material departure from
usual custom. Had orders been issued requiring their
performance the orders would have been quite generally
obeyed. but there would have been a good deal of
grumblins at least until the force and necessity of the
requirements came to be understood. But the govern
ment has requested that things be done, and they have
been done, promptly and heartily. Concerning many Of
them the public mind has reached a state which would
now lead it to approve of even very stringent orders re-
lating to these same things in order that the few slack
ers who have been unwilling might be forced to obey.
Our education in these matters has been a progress
sive one. 1t is not an easy or a rapid thing to change
the attitude and the habits of an entire people, and
when we look back upon what has been done we find
that there has been very real and very substantial
achievement.

"WISHlNG YOU THE NJ

The congress of Russian Soviets was so deeply
touched by President Wilson's message Of sympathy that
it replied thanking him kindly for his words and ex-
pressing the earnest hope that the time may soon come
when this government may be overthrown and> the Uni
ted States enjoy the socialistic advantages now so con-
spicuous in Russia.
Those are not the exact words, but they are the
substance of the answer of the congress. 1t is certainly
a gem Of unconscious humor. The German imperial
heel is on the Bolshevik neck and the Bolsheviki have
even ceased to protest. But they still insist that the
happy time is near when the laboring masses in all
bourgeois countries will throw off the capitalistic yoke
and establish a socialist state Of society, which is the
only one capable of assuring a permanent and just peace
and the culture and well-beng of all who toll" 7.
We are just as grateful to the soyiets for their ex-
preston of good will as they are for the sympathy Of
fered by the president. But the little suggestion that
this country follow the shining course to the socialistic
state now being trodden by the Bolsheviki leaves us ex-
tremely cold In the first place, we are not enamored
of the socialist state, and in the next place the Bolshevik
course doesn't lead there. 1t leads to nothing but nation
al humiliation and foreign dictation-Chicaso Herald.

DOUBLE THE CROPS

INV Mark Swan of the Vieilantcs)
We Americans like to consider our
selves the most wide-awake people in
the world. Hustle is our middle name
and We glory in it. When the word
American is mentioned. in connec-
ton with a job. or an emergency, we
conjure up a mental picture Of an
alert and determined individual. with
the fine frenzy OF conflict flaming in
his eyes. rolling up his sleeves ana
doing things. We revel in this con-
ception of ourselves. 1t IS very COM
plimentary and very comforting.
There is one slight flaw in the picture
lit isn't true.
Naturally, when a spectacular OPP
p%ortunity arises, like. the declaration
Of war last April. we do wake up to
do things. We buy bonds. and enlist.
and drill; We join defense leagues. and
knit, and make bandages, and all the
rest Of it-feverishly, sincerely-tak-
ing great credit to ourselves. mean
while. for our unalloyed patriotism,
and forgetting, by the way, that all
the things we are doing, and NEAR
to do, should have bee foreseen and
done long ago. quietly. thoroughly,
and as a matter Of curse.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

On the first of the coming month the clocks of the
country are to be advanced an hour, the purpose being
to save daylight. The procedure will be simply to move
the clocks forward and conduct the ordinary activities Of
the day on the same schedule by the clock on which they
are now carried on. There is a great deal Of what appears
to be unnecessary alarm over this. The thing may be
revolutionary. but if it is the revolution will be Of such
a mild character that we will scarcely realize that it has
occurred after it has been in existence for a few days,
except that in certain cases there may be-a little benefit
arising from the operation Of the plan.
In the northern tier Of states, those which border on
the 18th parallel, there is no trouble about plenty OF day.
light in the height Of summer. There are several weeks
during which we have around IS hours of actual daylight
or twilight which approaches it. The person who requires
about the average amount Of sleep must either go to
bed by daylight or sleep away some of the daylight in the
morning. 49,.
There will be an advantage to a good many people
in the fact that the new schedule will take them to their
work an hour earlier in the morning, will enable them
to get a good share Of their work done in the cooler
hours Of the day, and will give the leisure time, which
may be devoted either to play or to other forms of ac-
tivity, in one period rather than dividing it in two.
There may be very decided advantages of a far
reaching character which are not apparent on the surface.
Where the plan has been tried it appears to give satisfac-
ton. If it is not satisfactory here it can be abandoned.
There is, at any rate. nothing very mysterious about it,
and no flying in the face Of nature. Clocks are Artificial
contrivances. anyway, and We are at liberty to set them
as we please. AS a matter Of convenience it has been
customary for the main work Of the day to begin at
about a certain period Of the day as marked by the sun.
II we choose to vary that, there is no reason to the con-
trary. Anyway. the new plan will have a chance to dem
onstrate itself.
