Daylight Saving
Ends Oct. 10Th
Two Hours Past Midnight is the Off
cially Correct Time to Change
Hands of Family Clock.

At 2 O'Clock in the morning on Octo-
Der 26 Dad" is supposed to rise from
his bed II find his way to the mantle
in the sitting room, where stands the
eight-day clock. If he obtains his OBJ
jective without having been knocked
out by collisions with the furniture in
the dark, he will turn the hour hand
of the clock forward IL hours-11
times. around the dial, leaving the
clock one hour slOwer than it was be-
fore.
Clocks which strike, as well as alarm
clocks, should not be turned backward.
Turning the hands forward IL hours
is the correct way, according to jewel
ers.
The official time to make the change
is 2 o'clock on the morning of October
26, but it is more than likely that the
majority of ~sleep-loving folk will at
tend to the matter before retiring and
wake in he morning when Big Ben
,proclaims the appointed hour accord
ing to the changed time.
On October 26 the daylight saving
plan, originally a war measure, will
pass into history, as it is doubtful if
the American people will consent to
resort to it again. City people favored
n wanted to see the plan continued,
but the farmers of the United States
were united against it and won the
day, congress passing the repeal twice,
once over the presidents veto.
The plan has meant Il very substan-
tial saving in light and gas bills to the
American people, as well as affording
city workers II longer evening in which
to enjoy themselves. City people, how
ever, were not enthusiastic enough in
their support of the measure to make
themselves heard, m the protest
from the farmers rose into Il loud wall
which was plainly heard in Washing
ton, ID. c..

Who Wants to Be a Postmastere

According to notice received from
Hon. f. w. Mondell, Wyoming's repre-
sentative in congress. the postofice at
Big Creek, Wyo.. in the extreme south
ern part of Carbon county. has been
recommended for disco%ntinuance by
the postoffice department, due to the
lack of IL postmaster at that point.
Anyone interested in his matter
should see to the application of some
person for this office without loss of
time, or residents of that vicinity NAV
be seriously inconvenienced by having
to travel long distances for their mail.
MIR. Mondell, in his letter to The Sun.
says:
THE %postoffice department informs
me that the postmaster at Big Creek
II resigned, and recommends the dis
continuance of that office. | do not
like TO have the office discontinued if
anyone "A be found willing to serve
as postmaster. if patrons are not to be

tention to the situation and ask any
IL interested TO write to me, l shall

Assessment Work
ON Mining Claims
House Joint Resolution No. $50 Re-
lieves Owners of Assessment
Work During 1919.

For the benefit of many people who

YOURS Is THE RIGHT TO VOTE
AND THE DUTY TO BUY BOND

Women of Oklahoma.-youh have
had conferred upon you. at your ear
nest request. the full rights OF citi-
zenship. You are voters. and as such,
you have as much voice in the gov
ernment as men. In fact. YOU are

Hand in hand with every right,

When you claim the right to marry
you have at the same time conferred
upon you certain duties. the duty to
your home, your husband and nos.
sible family. You cannot honestly
enjoy the right of your husbands pro.
lection, unless you do your duty to
him.
The same is true with voting. With
your new right in shaping the gov
ernment, you have a duty to per
form. That duty is to meet all reas-
enable demands of the government.
In this instance. il Is to give your
government your unqualified sup

REASONS WHY BUSINESS MEN
FARMERS, AND WORKING
MEN SHOULD SUBSCRIBE
FREELY

Farmers. employees. business men
and capitalists alike will be more
vitally affected by the success or fail
ure OF the Victory Loan than by any
previous loan that has been offered
for popular subscription. This fact
Is being realized more fully every
day as the campaign of education
progresses. the opinion of thirty days
ago having been that the people had
done their share in the War and felt
under no obligation to subscribe to
the Bonds. The general disposition
was to let the Banks carry this bur
den. II has since been shown that
this coarse would be suicidal and
that . Osneral business depression
would follow. The Banks already
heavily burdened would be In no po-
sition to aeet the demands OF nor
NAL business conditions were they
which will be heavy.
Another alarming feature OF the
situation is that in case OF failure TO
float this Loan. Congress will be
asked to impose an additional tax OF
ly hamper National, State and local
progress.
The war ended eight months he
fore experts believed that II would.
thus saving the nation $4,000. 0.000,-
900 which II would have spent at the
rate OF e3.000,000.000 q month.
II was only because OF this enor-
nous expenditure that the Central
Powers realized the hopelessness OF
continuing the War. Much material
is left on hand but the value is small
In comparison with what the govern
ment would have beer called upon
To spend had not these vast preps-
rations been made.

did Cruise need $16.347.65549 and

work? Also why should Robert
sons first two year period be figur-
ed on a $42,OOO,00O basis?

announce exceedingly bold bank rob-
berries In various parts of the state.

robberies begins.

1t has been repeatedly shown that
Oklahoma has too many fellows hold

the expense OF the taxpayers. Then
why was 1t necessary to add several
hundred more jobs and raise the sal
aries when Robertson came on the
lob?

TliD PEACE TREATY

We have never been able to under
stand how American diplomas could
sit down at IL Peace Table and be so
absolutely ,utgcncralled as seems t.
have been the case i'll the Peace Treaty
and the covenant of the League of
Nations. We have not been ab.e to
understand how the provisions Of n
Trca'y could he presumed TO super
ccdc the Constitution OF the United
States and to bind this country TO
do things that the Constitution ex-
prcssly forbids.
~ The treaty though by tho action OF
the United States Senate In adding
to it cxplana' DRY reservations which
in effect rejected much OF the treaty
while apparently ratifying 1t 10 tho
diplomatic way OF accomplishing the
Same result without doing 1t in u
s STRAIGHTFORWARD fashion. It remind
ed us Of tho old adase. There are
many ways Of killing q dog besides
hanging him" There WAS q way to
undo tho work done at Paris and the
United States Senate proceeded to
undo 1t TO tho embarrassment, chax-
rim and modification Of the dis ingu.
ished occupant of the White House,
who unquestionably would have been
the first presiding officer of the
League OF Nations.
We are Of tho opinion that the
trouble was caused by tho engage
ment and employment by President
Wilson Of too many college experts,
mon, who were out of touch with
the people and who apparently went
oi1nd' as to tho plain mandate of
ihe great bedrock principles, upon
wf1ch the Government itself Is found
ed. Be that as may, 1t is plainly
evident that Senator William T.,
borah and Senator Hiram johnson
were right, when they declared that
delay in tho ratification Of the
treaty meant its dea.h for when tho
people thoroughly understood It's
provisions, they would never consent
TO It's ratification.

"A CASE WITHOUT A PRECEDENT,

His Exccllcncy, Woodrow Wilson,
PI csidcnt OF the United States has
been "myisib!o" to the public and
to his friends for some time Eyca
Senator Hitchcock, his personal
fl iond and representa- i've upon the
floor of the United S atcs Senate has
been denied access to his apartments
and only the house servants, his
Madame and his able private secro-
tary have been able to see him.
This has given rise to all kinds Of
rumors. 1t is alleged tina. his mind
is wreck and that he INDUCES In
fits OF passion altogether unlike the
great statesman OF other days.
AS there is no way to verify this,
it passes for what l. is worth. No de-
mails are issued and rumors follow
each other. 1t Is an open question
as to whether the message he Is send
Ing to the Congress is his own pro-
JUNCTION. All of this 10 to be regret
ted. If he is falling, 1t Is due to his
effort to accomplish Herculean
task entirely too monumental for a
man Of his physique and age.
He has done well and a feeling of
sadness must necessarily follow this
lack Of information, which has ten
dency to lead one to believe that ul-
timately our worse fears may be real

SEPARATION OF THE RACES

On vote to abolish tho separate
car system for white and colored
people in the United States of Ameri-
ca. only twelve members OF congress
voted in favor or the measure This
demonstrates concluSiycly that all
lie p the colorcd folks may expect to
get must come from the white people
or the Southland.
Had this measure to abolish the
"Jim-Crow" car system been backed
by the southern delegation in Con-
gross, we might have felt assured
that there would not have been more
than twelve yo cs against it.
The hypocrisy Of tho whole busi-
ness is the theoretical declaration
that the accommodations afforded col
ored American citizens are equal to
the accommodations accorded white
American citizens. Colored men Will
yet learn that unless they qualify
'HS'hoS''SS W fOle ailu FOle elIncT
for each other or for some white man
who espouscs their principles they
will always be regarded with contempt
and disgust. The average white man
shuts his eyes to the fact that there
is new citizen of color upon the
scene of action.
The hostlers, porters. messengers
cooks. chambcr-maids, wash-women,
butlers;, coachmen; chauffeurs and
the like have been educating their
children in some Of the best educar-
icnal institutions in the land. They
, have been taught high ideals and
have been accustomed and trained in
higher living. What will do on the
work-trains for the colorcd folks
in over-alls, will not do for this
Kind and type OF people and they
are asking for treatment ana scry.cc
in keeping wi h their improved con,
dition.
Congress may deny this REASONABLE
request today, but they will ask for
it again tomorrow and the next day
The attemp+ to merge this into a de.
mand for so-called social equality Is
ridiculous. The white man vans his
home open only to such persons as
he cares to invite there and the col
5 ored man wants the same thing. When
