fore the obvious thing to do Is so to
modify the present law as to meet the
objections which have caused both
houses Of Congress to pass the repeal
Ing bill, and 1t Is encouraging to OBJ
serve that the friends OF daylight saw
Ing are already at work with this end
in view.
The objections to the plan In use
this summer and last year, as they
are stated in letters received by THE
SUN, come chiefly from farmers and
mothers, two classes whose opinions
must have serious consideration. The
Farmers say daylight saving interferes
with the working hours which nature
sets, The mothers say daylight saw
Ing affects the health of children be-
cause they cannot be put TO bed while
1t Is still daylight and therefore they
lose sleep. Whether right or wrong
they have shown they have the power
to enforce their opinions.
Can a system Of daylight saving be
devised which will avoid the effects
they complain Of and at the same time
give the rest Of the community the
advantages 1t Is enjoying? The task
does not seem impossible Of achieve
ment, and the friends OF the extra
hour Of sunshine express confidence in
their ability to work out a solution
which will satisfy everybody. They
have begun the job none too early, al.
though they have several months in
which to do It, because any proposal
they offer will he subjected to careful
scrutiny and will lack the war i'm.
petus which carried the present law
through promptly.

A Fourth OF July Phrase Examined.

Just what did President WILSON
mean when he said on the George
Washington on Friday:
This is the most tremendous
Fourth of July ever imagined. for we
have opened its franchise to the whole
world?
In what way does the covenant If
the League of Nations reflect the
spirit of the Fourth of July. 1776?
Our Declaration Of Independence
meant the erection of new nation
hood, the overthrow of foreign domi-
nation, the assertion of the right OF
revolution and seIgovernment
1t arraigned GEORGE III for doing
exactly that which WOODROW WILSON
has been attempting to do, that Is, in
the words of the Declaration, for
combining with others ito subject us
to Il jurisdiction foreign to our Con
stitution. and unacknowledged by
our laws"
How. then. does this covenant Of \
League of Nations signify a new and
more tremendous Fourth of July
How does it open the franchise of in.
dependence to the whole world?
Fine phrases are fine things when
they mean something; when they tel
the honest truth.
We invite the attention Of President
WILSON. and of everybody else inter
ested in the subject. to the highly sig
nificant circumstance that If VII
sonian League OF Nations had been ir
existence on July 4, 1I76, 1t might
have become the duty of France and
every other member of that League
under the provisions of Article " and
Article NJ. of the Covenant, to respect
and preserve the territorial integrity
Of the British Colonies against ex
ternal aggression and take action tC
safeguard the peace of nations by
helping to stamp out the rebellion
headed by GEORGE WASHINGTON.

of the Peruvian Supreme Court and
that he had undertaken to perpetuate
the power of his party by fraudu-

Senior LEGUIA.
DR.. PARDo's four years Of office ex-
plre on August IS, and he was not
candidate for reelection. During his
term of the Presidency he had a num-
Der of trying political problems, and
il was generally believed that he had
shown considerable executive ability
in their handling. He had defeated
the efforts OF German agents to make
Peru a centre of German propaganda
in South America, and he expressed
the adherence of Peru to the Ameri-
can doctrine at the time that the
United States entered the war. He
displayed so much conservatism and
skill in the boundary controversy with
Chile as to have the settlement n mat
ter of arbitration and not OF n re-
sort to arms. He had too secured
legislation favorable TO the financial
improvement and industrial develop
ment of the country.
The internal conditions of Peru have,
however, presented many difficulties.
These became the foremost matters In
the Presidential election in May. One
Of the principal considerations was
the question OF Asiatic immigration
and the restrictions which should be
placed upon II. But more important
was the matter of the high cost OF
living and its effect upon the coun-

Facts About the Death OF . Jay
Bird in Church.

An ornithological tragedy on par
In public interest, at least in the
South, with the killing Of Cock Robin
has been the destruction Of a Jay In
the Baptist church at Sandersville
Ga, by a pastor who could not speak
beCa Use the bird squawked so. 1t was
bruite,l about that Pastor WRAY lief,
the pulpit. went home, got his shot
gun and upon his return blew the
jay to bits. As this rumol
was not quite correct. Deacon EVANS
and Clerk BREWER have issued q
neatly printed circular giving the
facts and recording the conGregation's
formal approval of the pastors act:
JAY BIRD SHOOTING AT SAND
ERSVILLE. GA.
The following is from the church
of which Rev. W. A. WRAY Is Pastor.
The truth about ichy and the tcdy
IN uhich the Jay bird was killed
at the Baptist church on the
Sth day OF June.
"A number of erroneous reports
having been sent the press through
out America makes the following
statements necessary;
Before, and after. the Sabbath
School hour every Conceivable effort
was made to put the bird out OF the
building, but the ceiling being so
high. above the tops Of the windows.
1t vas impossible As the squawking
OF the bird so interrupted the work OF
ii, Sabbath School, It was thought
ttSt TO remove It before the preaching
hour. During the interm!ssion a
small gun was sent for, which shoots
cartridge about the size OF ones
little finger. loaded with mustard
shot. This gun was placed in an ante
room that 1t might be used as last
resort.
The bird Continued to squawk as
the Pastor endeavored TO read the
Scripture. 1t was then fully realized
that the service must either he dis
missed or the bird shot. The Pastor
then stated, II the bird continued to
shrek, he would have to shoot him,
though he hated TO do so. This was
before I'M sermon. The minister did
NOT 90 10 his home after the gun, but
opened the door OF the ante room,
secured the gun. shot the bird which
was in the dome OF the church The
bird was then removed by Deacon.
There uGS no smoke from the gun.
and very little noise, compared to a
shotgun.
The Pastor afterwards made his
regular announcements. preached, and
took a large collection for Mercer
University
ION the following Sunday. June
18th, the Church in conference, by a
unanimous rising vote. signified that
the action OF the Pastor in the en-
tire proceedings was correct, and es-
sential for the good OF the cause.
