"Keeping Up with the Procession, "

we must keep up with the procession"
is the excuse given in support of the tendency
or inclination on part of many to thoughtlessly
break away from old-fashioned notions of order
and right. It is necessary to keep up with the
procession at all times. Progress depends on
the capacity for receiving and assinilating new
ideas, new impulses, to learn new methods and
apply them.
Just now, however, the ordinary thinking
man is puzzled as to which one of consider
able variety Of professions he wants to join.
The field for choice is wide. Assured by the
advocates of any one of the new and novel
doctrines being preached that the old order has
disappeared, religion proved failure civiliza-
ton mistake, and the morality of our fathers
misleading, men and women are invited to get
in behind the new leaders, no matter which way
they may be headed. Anarchy has set up as
sound practice of government atheism or
animism as rational religion; we are asked to
be lenient with the unmarried mother" that
the world may again be repopuated decadence
in art and literature lifts its head and procaims
itself the flower of freedom. Putrescence of
thought parades its phosphorescence as the
glow of inward worth, and the bewildered
seeker for solid substances finds no anchorage
in the whirling maze of unAedged PHILOSOPHERS
that swirl and eddy about human affairs today.
Which procession are you going to keep up
with? Would it not be wise to stand still just
A., for moment, until the dizziness has passed
and clear vision shows whittier the column is
| proceeding? The world has not lost its sober
thinkers, firmly grounded in reason and holding
steadfastly to the right. Their voice is no,
heard above the hubbub of the charlatans and
| panacea -mongers, but must prevail in the end

Dead and Gone Day
light System

Omaha, Oct. 23.--To the Editor
of The Bee: A few days ago a well
known lawyer said to me: Thank
God, the daylight system will come
to an end next Sunday"
That seems to be about the uni
versal sentiment in Omaha at least.
Having noticed that the city coun-
cilmen Of the city of New York have
recently voted to recall the obnox-
ious system for that city for next
year,I took 1t onto myself to write
to the mayor of New York on the
subject as follows:
II saw by the press reports that
your city council has voted to renew
the silly war fad. the so-called day
light saving system, next year. 1
hope that some one will 60 into
court and knock it out for you. II
you New York people want to
initiate the English so much, why
don't you move to (H)ingland and
get all you want Of it?
II have heard any number of
(, people In Omaha in the last few
weeks say they will be glad when
the Wilson daylight system, as
many call it, Is over for good. If
there was a vote taken on the ques-
ton today Of the people Of Omaha
the daylight system would be
! knocked out by a vote of at least
| 90 per cent Of the vote taken on
| the question.
what do the New York people
want to differ with the vast major
ity of the people of the United
States for, anyhow? BY having
one system In one part Of the coun-
/ t,-rv A.
country, tends to mix things up all
around.
| There are many more reasons
for the complete abolition of the
so-called daylight saving system
than there are for its retention.
| THE ones who favor the English.
German daylight saving fraud are
the. golf players, the speed maniacs
and the ones who would rather LOAF
than to work.
Your fraud Of a daylight saving
system forces people to get up in
the dark even in the summer time
and makes them lose their natura
hours of sleep. 1t forces people OF
older years to change their hours
Of sleep of lifetime. It forces
workingmen's wives to get up al
unseemly hours to get their mer
folks ready to go to work.
| II have heard lots Of them com.
plain of the loss Of sleep on &C
count Of this fraud system. L
forces children to go to bed before
dark in the summer time and force.
them to get up for school before
daybreak. Why don't you 'fal
in with the rest Of the country anC
show little common everyday
sense and judgment?
| II fought the system from tn,
time 1t was first passed by congress.
and some idiots said I was disloya

a number of cases continued.
Frank Howdy, of Shamokin, was
acquitted of stealing a team of horses

evidence, however, to establish his
connection with the crime.
