DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Could the Farmers Practically b
Exempted From the Reformi

To THE EDITOR OF THE srN-Sir: I
heard the following questions asked the
other day OF a man brought up on a
farm and in sympathy with farmers:
Why wouldn't a daylight saving law
be acceptable to farmers which exempted
all farmers and farm industry from its
operation and was applicable only out
side of agricultural pursuits, provided
the schedules of milk trains, &c, han
ding farm produce were adjusted 30 as
to be convenient for the farm time?
The hired help would have no reason
to kick then. would they. as they would
be back on the old time basis?
Tho dew would be or the grass and
grain at just the hour it used to be.
wouldn't It?
And the farmer could milk his cows
and get the milk to the trains Just
as he used to. couldn't he?
And all the rest OF the people who
want daylight saving could get It,
couldn't they?
And everybody and his wife could live
happily forever after, couldn't they?
Livery one Of these questions the
former farmer answered in the Rffirma-
tive. Is such an arrangement imprac-
ticable?
Nearly every one, aside from the
farmers, wants the clocks set ahead as
they were last year and this, Should
the farmers control in this matter and
embarrsss all the rest OF the people
and put them TO inconvenience and
heavy extra expense Just TO suit agri-
cultural convenience?
Can't things be arranged so that the
farmers can have what they want In this
matter and other people have what they
want also?
Or are the farmers to be allowed to
force every one else to do as they say7

be said that the system Of taking by
violence from those who have for the
benefit Of those who have not has
attracted the sympathetic interest of
many aspirants for and holders of
Office outside of Persia.
But nobody can defend the green
automobile highwaymen, the stickup
men of Harlem and the West Side
and their methods. Let the police
emulate Sir Percy SYKES anG make
remotest Queens county and darkest
Manhattan as safe as under his
guardianship the trade routes of Per-
sia are for travellers, and thus they
will escape such reproaches as must
inevitably be directed against the
Russo Persian expeditions that failed
to suppress KUcHIK Khan.

Mr.. Taft's Generalization.

On the completion Of his lates
speaking tour In behalf Of President
WILSON'S League of Nations EXPIRES
cident TAFT was quoted to the effect
that sentiment throughout the coun
try is strongly in favor of the league
This generalization he amplified In
these words:
I'VE have participated in conven-
tons in fifteen States OF the Union.
called by State branches OF the League
to Enforce Peace. in order to urge
the ratification OF the Peace Treaty
and the League of Nations covenant.
Everywhere we have found evil
dences Of deep determination on
the part OF Americans to secure the
ratification of the Treaty Of Peace by
the United States Senate, and the
consequent establishment of the
League OF Nations. upon which the
treaty rests. and in which the treaty
Is to find sanction and perpetuity."
That is, Mr.. TAFT and his compan.
Ions, travelling as friends Of the
League Of Nations, under the auspices
Of an association ardently advocating
the League of Nations and meeting
assemblies of friends Of the League
Of Nations, found that the League OF
Nations had adherents in the COM
munities they visited
While Mr.. TAFT was communicating
to the public his analysis Of popular
opinion thus gagged one VICToR BER-
GER of Milwaukee wns in this city
speaking with his usual vehemence
against the present social order and
stirring to enthusiasm an audience OF
5000 persons who applauded every
utterance which smacked Of violent
radicalism."
Mr.. BERGER came here as radical
to meet other radicals, just as Mr
TAFT went to the communities he
visited as a supporter Of the League
Of Nations to meet other supporters
Of that project.
If Mr.. TAFT Is justified in saying
from bis observations, that sentiment
throughout the country is strongly In
favor of the league Mr.. BERGER is
justified in reporting that sentiment
throughout New York Is strongly in
favor of the radlcalism he heard so
loudly applauded last Sunday. AS a
matter Of fact this is not the case
Just as Mr.. TAFT saw precious few
persons who were not already COM
mitted to the League of Nations, so
Mr.. BERGER saw precious few persons
who were not already committed to
radicalIsm.
Mr.. TAFT Is not, and Mr.. BERGER
would not be, justified in generaliz-
ing from the observations either of
them has been able to make under the
circumstances described herein.

Senator UNDERWOOD has explained
that It was the 'unwashed Democ-
racy" after all who were responsible
for the opening OF the Senate Office
building bathrooms. modelled after the
days OF CESAR; in fact, pleaded per-
sonal guilt, having given the opening
order while Democrats were still GUS
todians Of the baths. But 1t was not
to encourage Senatorial splashing in
the carved marble plunges, the minis
tration by dusky attendants OF fra
grant oils and sweet waters. 1t was
because during the crowded era in
Washington Capitol clerks had to live
in boarding houses. where they found
It difficult to gain access to baths"
So while Senators continue to battle
in domestic tubs their secretaries and
clerks doll themselves up for office

Half q Century OF Nebraska.

Two years and six days after Ne
braska was admitted to the Union as
q State Governor DAVID BUTLER signed
the law creating the University Of
Nebraska. This was on February Is,
1869. The State had something more
than 100000 inhabitants; Its organi-
zation as a Territory had been ac-
complished by the Kansas Nebraska
act of 1854, and Its people. even in
the days before the establishment Of
the Territory, had planned a suitable
institution Of higher education. The
semi-centennlal of the school thus
founded has been appropriately Sig
nalized by the publication by the uni
verslty press Of an anniversary book
which tells the interesting story Of
Its successful career IN an easy and
popular style.
1t Is interesting to recall that the
far sighted men who cooperated to
found the university dared to put
forward an ambitious project. The
law enacted named the institution q
university and declared its object
should be "to afford to the inhabl-
tants of the State the means of
acquiring thorough knowledge Of
the various branches of literature,
science and the arts" The original
charter provided for six departments:
a college of literature, the sciences,
the arts; Of agriculture of law; of
medicine; of the practical sciences,
surveying and mechanics; and of the
fine arts. Six years later the college
Of agriculture was united with the
practical sciences, reducing the num-
Der of colleges to five. Originally the
government Of the university was put
In the hands of board Of twelve re-
gents This number was reduced TO
six by the State Constitution which
was adopted in 1875.
The funds for the university are
derived from various sources, land
grants under the act of Congress of
1862. from the Morrill, Nelson act of
1890, the Hatch-Adams act of 1887
providing for experiment stations, ap-
preparations by the Legislature and
one mill tax on the grand assess
ment roll OF the State. The univer-
sity wac set up Mt Lincoln. where 1t
has remained ever since, the attempts
of rival communities to acquire 1t
hnSing been foiled.
These are the bare bones of the
university's history. 1t did not come
into being complete and powerful. It

Evidences OF . Higher Civilization
in Persia,


OF the highwaymen who make II
their business to invade New Yorb
cafes and cigar shops and restaurants
boldly to rob the passengers in trolley
cars and to hold up bank messenger:
it cannot be said they are chivalrous
or high minded. They are low, selfish
creatures, making no question as tc
the worldly possessions OF their vic
tins. They betray no world vision
None Of them Is interesting; all ore
merely violent and lawless.
Against their exhibition of heartless
cupidity put the conduct Of certain
eminent citizens Of Persia, recorded
by Lieutenant-Co Colonel G. S. r. NAPIER
lately British Military Attache Of
Teheran, in the Journol of the Royal
Geographical Society.
In Persia, tho land of ups and
downs. the vocation Of a robber has
been described as the stepping stone
to the post OF Governor. In the
south the Persian force raised by
Sir PERCY SYKES had been success
full during 1917 in maintaining safety
on the trade reates; but In the Vi
entity Of Isfahah two powerful rob-
Der chieftains, RszA Khan JuzpANl
and CHIRAGH ALI, had defed the ef-
forts OF the Persian Cossacks under
Russian officers to maintain security
on the roads.
Further north, on the shores Of
the Caspian. the Jansali band under
kucHIK Khan practically ruled the
whole OF the province OF CLAN. and
ruled It rather well according to
Persian standards From the head
quarters at Kasma, some seventeen
miles northwest of Resht. he played
the part OF q modern Robin Hood, :,

member of the band. from HIM
self downward. received a definite
monthly salary. The pay OF a jan
gall trooper was 100 krans a month.

SLAMS to a private in the Persian

meeting Monday.
A large number of students and
faculty attended the game at Little
ton, N. H. In spite of hard playing
st. Johnsbury was defeated. In view
OF former victories, this defeat is
felt to be the result of lack of
practice, two games and practice
lately having been cancelled because
of the condition OF the field and
weather.
