AGAINST THE RIDER.

For a long time the practice of at taching riders to appropriation bills has been resorted to, particularly if it was believed that the rider had little or no chance if considered by itself on its own merits. The purpose Of the rider of course is to have something of much more importance carry it through and too often is it the case that it turks in the shadow and is all lowed to pass rather than to delay or defeat the measure to which it is at tached.
 There cannot fail therefore to be general satisfaction at the ruling that has been made by the house commit tee on rules in refusing to allow the daylight saving rider to be fastened onto the agricultural appropriation bin. In view Of the importance of the appropriation measures and the ne- cessity of acting upon them. they are favorite nesting places for general legislation. Because appropriation bills get the right of way they offer tho chance for early action on mat ters which would otherwise be obliged to take their turn in the list of bills as they should and be considered for what they are worth rather than be slid over in order not to hold up leg islation providing money for govern ment work.
 The stand which has been taken up- on this particular matter is one that should be adhered 10 in all such cases Unless the rules are suspended they should be respected. In this instance it is the effort to have the daylight saving law repealed so that d quick return can be made to sun time. but there are certainly two sides to that matter and if there is going to be re- peal it should be brought about with out leaning upon something else, and what is true of thal particular effort Is likewise true of all others wherein resort is made to such a method ot pushing a bill through congress.

FACTS ARE DESIRABLE.

Tn connection with the protests that are being made against the massacre of Jews in Poland. interest will of course be aroused by the request that has been made to President Wilson by Premier Paderewski of Poland, now in Paris. that there be an impartial in vestigation by an American commits sion concerning this state of affairs. Unless we are mistaken a similar proposal was made some time ago but apparently nothing ever came of it, or at least no reforms were ever carried out that have overcome the protested conditions.
 In connection with this present re- quest it is to be noted that Poland de- nies that it is sanctioning Jewish po- groms and it points to the fact that under the new government the Jews have been given greater rights than they ever had before and it is llinted that there has been a distortion of the facts in the case.
 Although it can hardly be believed that the information regarding the at- tacks upon the Jews is not well found ed, it is always quite important that there should be established facts upor which to base judgment and demands If such are not to be had they certain ly should be secured If condition: are not as represented it should bt known. If Poland is being misjudget it should be disclosed and likewise i it is found that the protests that arc being made are based upon what ha! actually taken place it is time tha Poland was made to understand tha such cannot continue. In fact PolanC can even now do much to better it position by taking a rigid stand | against all such injustice regardless 9 who within its borders may be respon sible for it. It is time in the inter est of humanity that such barbarit, should end. It therefore would seen advisable to have the facts establishes
 beyond a doubt that there could be better determination of what the step
 to overcome them should be.

CANNOT BE NEGLECTED.

One of the many matters that will undoubtedly receive attention at this session of congress is that concerning the giving of proper protection to the dye and chemical incustry that has been set up in this country since the opening of the war. The need of 1t has been apparent for a long time. It is in accord with republican policy and it is to be noted that such a recom- mendation was made by the president in his address at the opening of the session
 When it became apparent that the products that this country had relied upon Germany to furnish, because it had specialized in the business and could turn them out and sell them at a low figure. could no longer be ob- tafned. it was realized that we had the raw material. the expert ability and the money to meet our requirements and tho result has heaa thSt ya have

GIRLS OF OTHER DAYS

Maybe" grandmother replied laugh ing. but I remember very well the day I wore my new silk, made with long pointed waist, tri-.,med with narrow black velvet ri i; my new panta- lettes, with stee-- ruffles, all hem- med and trimmed by hand, and my little flat hat, undertrirnned With black, net and with a few saucy little moss rosebuds perched on the brim, and I had audaciously rouged my cheeks to match the rosebud5. l was frightened for fear you would discover it but all you said, was: My dear Polly! How fresh and rosy you look!'
 "Oh, I'm quite sure I said more than that grandfa ar interrupted gal lantly.
 Maybe you did, but I've forgotten" Grandmothers wrinkled cheek grew pink, delicate pink that did not stay long.
 T remember too, that mother told me something of her younger days and of how she tried very hard in a quiet way to catch the fancy of certain young beau who was the best dressed man of. the town. She laughed as she told of dressing in her very best early in the morning and of standing at the gate so he could not help but see her as he passed. He did see her and stopped and she hinted so hard he had no choice but, to ask her to the picnic But she found later that he was only a dandy and she forgot him very soon after father came into the pie ture."
 | Well, can't 9ute your word, but I still think you must be mistaken, | granwfather said slowly. | INC, I'm not mistaken" grand
 mother assured him. ITO prove it, IT let you read some old letters and di-

The girls of ths generation are disgrace to the name of woman!" thundered grandfather.
 ''Dearie me! What makes you think so ?" ~luired grandmother, politely.
 Think? 1 know!" boomed the old gentleman. 'The girls of today are crazy abou dress and men. I declare to you, whenever I hear a group of young women talking together, I can safely guarantee that they will be con- sidering only those two subjects. In my time
 your time-and mine-girls were girls, just as boys were boys; and they af- ways will be.
 Why" continued the old lady, push ing her alarming needle more slowly through the one large hole in grand fathers sock, when I was Eileen s age I was much more concerned over my clothes than over my morals; in fact, I believe I never gave those a thought. We were in the throes of the hoopskirt period, about that time, and as we'll as if it were yesterday I re- member how stirred up we all were over the new and outrageously large hoop that Sarah Besley brought back from New York

THE AUSTRIAN TERMS.

In 8 general way Austria must have realized for some time what it might expect in the way of peace terms from the allies. It could draw conclusions from the requirements asked of Ger many, and it doubtless did. There are terms which apply in the same gen. eral way to Austria as they do to Ger many, but where Germany will lose small part of its territory outside of it's colonies, Austria will be obliged to part with much and at the same time recognize the complete independence of these new states. What was once the dual monarchy will henceforth be, according to the trea,y terms. the re- public of Austria, Hungary. Czecho- slovakia and Jugoslav.a, with other Rumania and Italy.
 It is a grand breaking up of the for mer empire but it is 70 be noted that the division does not come solely as the result of the de:eat of the dual monarchy, but in keeping with the demands and expressions of the mix ture of people gathered together un- der the old empire. They have had enough of the Hapsburg rule, or any thing like it, and desire to admins ter their own affairs which they will be permitted to do. Austria suffers greatly by reduced population and it | is shorn of it's territory on the Adria
 tic meaning the end of its navy while it's aerial forces must be de mobilized.
 But with Austria as it was with Germany the allies are not endeavor- | ing to crush it. The purpose is tc deal with it on basis of justice. and from the attitude already manifested | by the Austrian delegates a reasonable view thereof is to be expected along with an early signing.

 Too much faith will not be put by
 any discreet presidential aspirant in

 he would not run for a third term.
 He is tired after many months of hard

 he said was that he was glad his pres

United States Capitol
Offered for Sale at
S14 bv Police Clerk

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-Though
it is reputed to be one of the tore
most architectural creations of the
world, the United States capitol was
offered for sale today for $14, deliY-
cry on receipt. Brooke Colt, clerk
of the police court here, was the man
who had his exceptional bargain
thrust upon him. He is still stag
gering from the thrust.
Clerk Colt is reluctant to question
the mental equipoise of the vender
of this handsome property whose Of
fer, submitted in the most serious
vein, arrived in his mail today. After
establishing clear title to the federal
capitol by reciting that he inherited
it from the late Gar of Russia, the
writer went on to explain why he
wanted to dispose of it at such
modest figure. In the first place, he
said, it wasn't properly furnished
for his domicile and he hadn't the
ready money to improve it in that
respect. Then, too, he admitted it
had many detracting features as to
architecture and interior arrange
ments.
But, as a business proposition, he
suggested to Mr.. Colt that he might
offset these few disadvantages by
converting the sub-basements of the
capitol into an automobile garage or
an airplane hangar.
