Daylight LdlD Attacked

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
A rider has been attached to the
Agricultural Appropriation bill, un-
der consideration by the Senate,
whereby the Daylight Saving Law is
repealed. 1t is understood that the
farmers have complained of the-in-
convenience to which that law sub
jects them and that their protests
have induced the action which has
been taken.
The farmers form a very import
ant part of the community and their
political power is so great that Con-
gressmen are always anxious to pro-
pitiate them and to do anything
in reason, or even out of reason,
to secure their support. but after
all the rural voter is not the only
person in this or in any other con-
nection who deserves to be consid-
cred, and the proposition to repeal
the law in question should be dis
cussed and determined on its merits.
Has the gain of an additional
hour of daylight during the summer
months been of sufficient benefit to
the people in general to justify its
retention, or has the innovation
failed to realize the expectations
with which it had been awaited
or 10 VlnulCdJS INC arg uHeHIS OI
its advocates?
That is the real issue and there
is not much doubt what the decision
would be were the matter submit
ted to a popular referendum. 1t
would almost unquestionably be in
favor of letting the law stand.
Surprisingly little trouble was ex-
perienced when it became effective.
On the day set people adjusted their
clocks and watches to the new dis
pensation and presently went about
their daily business without any
disturbing consciousness of the
change which had been made. They
found to their satisfaction that the
afternoon had been agreeably pro-
longed at the cost Of no appreciable
sacrifice and at the end of the pc
riod over which the artificial time
keeping extended, the return to nor
NAL conditions was accomplished
without the least consequent en-
barrasSment,
1t is true that daylight saving was
adopted as a war measure, with the
professed purpose of restricting the
consumption of coal and the use of
the electric current, and 1t may
be Urged that with the removal of
the war pressure 1t is no longer
necessary. but that consideration is
immaterial. It may not be neces-
sary, but it is still desirable. and the
rider to the Agricultural Appropria-
ton bill will be eliminated If Con-
gress cares to respect the public
preference.

DEAD ISSUES

TIME power of the old "liquor
ring" in Pennsylvania business
and politics is smashed for all
time. The House of Representatives
broke its back when it passed the
prohibition amendment some weeks
ago and the Senate ended its misery
yesterday by concurring in the ac-
ton of the lower branch.
The liquor interests have been an
evil influence in Pennsylvania as
they have been in every other State.
For years their agents have been
sions of the Legislature. Party poll
tics has meant nothing to them.
They have infested both the Repub-.
lican and Democratic parties and
they have never fathered a piece
of constructive or beneficial legisla1'
-tion. We are we'll rid of them.
A snake does not die until the
sun goes down, it is said, and we
may look for few more kicks from
the liquor serpent's tail about the
time enabling legislation comes up
for a vote. There will be, no doubt,
an effort to override the will of the
people by pushing through the Leg
islature a bill that would rob the
prohibition measure of its teeth. But
it will fail. Governor Sproul has
pledged his word to the adoption of
such laws as will make the new
amendment effective. and his word
is as good as his bond. Besides,
the Legislature that voted booze out
will not be aosily induced to get
it back again camoufiaged as soft
drink"
No; liquor and liquor influences
are dead issues in Pennsylvania. 1t
remains only to bury them. The
Senate is to be congratulated upon
it's decisive vote.

nifty and importance, and those who
know Senator Smith best predict
that he will fill it as it should be

in politics and in business and for
years has made a careful study OF
State legislative procedure. He goes
to the Senate we'll equipped for the

BurlesoR'S Telephone Failure
(From the New York WORLDLY

"NfT rom the New 1Ork WOrlu.D
Substantial popular support will
be given to the appeal of the Ma
tional Association of Railway and
Public Utilities Commissioners that
the telegraphs and telephones be
restored to their owners.
The question Is not whether there
was any justification for govern
mental seizure of these lines or
whether there has been favoritism,
as is charged in the financial ar
rangements which the Post Office
Department has made with them.
What chiefly concerns the people at
this time is the matter of service.
That it is poor and growing poorer
and that there is no prospect of
Improvement will be very generally
admitted.
1t has been charged that the de-
partment took over these lines with
a definite purpose to establish ma
tional ownership. a plan which Post
masters General of both parties
have advocated for several years.
If that was the aim experience has
not demonstrated the wisdom OF the
enterprise.
Under private management the
telephone In New York was efficient
and trustworthy. In the hands of
the Post ONCE Department IL has
become in many cases an exasper-
ating nuisance. Judging public op-
Grafton by its own performances for
six months past. 1t is a failure, and
furthermore it furnishes the worst
possible recommendation for POST
master General Burleson's- grand
scheme OF public ownership.

public order and opportunity to
work.
The government owes in interest
alone $110,000,00O Omitted States
money! and will need for starter
Omitted States money! TO rehabili-
tate the railroads and industries and
to provide for pressing obligations.
The United States and Great Britain
can alone help il they will--no other
people can. unless possibly Japan.
The United States is the only one
likely to help, and help would not
come from the American Treasury,
but only from American capitalists,
by and with the approval of our gov
eminent In arrangement with that
of Mexico.
Can the conditions OF such flnan-
cling be met One first condition
would have to be the abandonment
OF all laws and DEGREES of confisca-
ton of the property of foreigners
acquired under law. Then the cap
ltalists of America would, l believe,
be ready to help refinance if they
could see any adequate security for
money advanced and if they could
be shown a substantial certainty
that the money would be wisely
spent for vital needs. Some such
conditions would be absolutely indis-
pensable to a helpful credit in
money.
What material security can Mexico
give? None such is in sight. The
customs dues have already been
largely mortaged to the French to
secure private loans. There is no
property Mexico could sell or hy-
pothecate, unless it be a part of her
territory. and she is debarred from
doing this by two constitutions-or
one constitution that is alleged to be
an amendment to another.
There is no other promising way

lossal job of financing and rehabilita-
tion. mean a mutuality between
the borrower and the lenders; some
joint functions in spending the
money and collecting the income for
payment-approved actively by the
Mexican and the American govern
ments.
One Way Out
If Mexico should invite us to join
with her in forming an international
commission of our citizens and her
own, to be empowered to supervise
the expenditures OF the money ad-
vanced and control the collection OF
money for the payment of the loans
and interest, then the whole problem
would be solved. and both peoples
would be blessed il not happy.
Nor is such q scheme impossible
1t would depend upon whether the
two peoples have the more good sense
more adaptility to new and difficult
problem, or the more pride of au-
thority and the heroics of dignity.
Comm mercially we build houses, raj
roads. and public works on the basis
indicated. and feel no disparagement
of dignity, and many times nations
have given to such commissions tasks
of perplexing sorts. Why not so re.
finance a nation demoralized by years
of internecine frightfulness. with
millions of its helpless people pray.

KATY, BAR THE DOOR,"

~ RESIDENT WILSON declared
= for "open covenants of peace
openly arrived at" long before
the armistice was signed. Just be-
fore he left for Europe he told Con-
gress that it's members would know
all that he knew concerning pro-
ceed ngs over in Europe.
But the New York World. Demo-
cratic and Wilsonian. says that at
one OF the sessions of the peace con
ference President Wilson took ex-
ception to the publication of certain
accounts of the proceedings ION the
ground that the publication implied
breach of confidence on the part
of some delegate"
If the President can find out
which delegate gave out the facts.
perhaps he will move to have him
barred from the conference.

Among commercial and industrial
leaders there is increasing confidence
in the future prosperity and expan-
sion OF business in this country. When
the disturbing elements which are
alien to everything that is important
in the development of the United
States are suppressed and business
and general employment are per-
mitted to resume the normal condi-
tions, there should be a general re-
sumption of activities along every
line. But the elements which are
antagonistic to general prosperity
must be sent to the rear.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,

new road-making era that is now
upon us.
Nor must we forget that the build
ing of roads means employment for
thousands of men, and the duty of
the State and all the subordinate
municipalities is to provide employ
ment for returning soldiers and all
who are made idle through the
cessation of war activities.
Now is the time not only to build
roads but to do all manner of public
work that has been postponed or sus-
pended during the war. The COM
munities which adopt this policy
will be the prosperous and contented
sections Of the State, and Harrisburg
and the county of Dauphin, which
have not fallen short in any phase
of the war, will certainly uphold the
traditions of the past in going for
ward with the projects which are
now under discussion and which
generally have the approval of the
people.
