AFTER PROVED BENEFITS.

Quite in keeping with what was to
 be expected is the move that has been made. in Massachusetts for the restor- ation of the benefits of the daylight saving in future years even as they have been enjoyed in the past. While it is not to be supposed that the idea of federal legislation upon the subject has been abandoned because of the fact that the supporters of such leg
 islation were caught mapping by the opponents, it is nevertheless evident that the lack of such law which would apply to the entire country does not mean that certain sections of the country, states even cities could not get the benefit of this additional hour of daylight if they so desired.
 With this idea in view steps have taken in the neighboring state which would give that commonwealth daylight saving time schedule for five months of each year. opening the last Sunday in April and closing the last Sunday in September. It is move in behalf of what is considered for the best interests of that state. It is an effort to continue the large savings that have been made because of this legislature in the past two years and it is 8. recognition of the merits of the plan of getting greater benefit from sun time that has done so much in other countries well this.
 The smaller the community that adopts an advanced time schedule in of others the greater will be the confusion involved. but this move that has been started in Mass achusetts is likely to be only one of many in this part of the country. In fact there is no reason why the whole of New England should not adopt it's own daylight saving plan, if such is not obtainable otherwise. and it would not be surprising if the effort already aroused keen interest in many other states.

CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING SEPT. 18th 10,256
FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS.

In some circles more than others will attention be attracted by the statement of Representative Good oi the appropriations committee to the affect that by the first of next July -here will be a deficit of three bil- lion dollars in the federal treasury if the view he takes of the financial con dition is correct. That of course doesn't look good and it doesn't sound good, and Representative Good well includes in his statement the advice that there should be the greatest economy exercised in all departments and believes that this should likewise extend TO the people as one Of the ways of overcoming the unrest and high prices.
 After all the appeals that were made to the people of the country to support the national treasury and following the persistent urgings to give until it hurts to which so gener- ous responses were made, is it too much for the people to expect that those in charge of the expenditure of the government funds should refrain from wastes and exercise economy and good judgment in meeting the national requirements? The fact of the matter Is that such should be done at all times without having attention called to the necessity, but unfortu = nateIy government business isn't done that way
 This makes it ali the more neces- sary for the devotion of greater at tention to the adoption of a national budget system This has not only been advocated for a long period of time hut 1t has been urged and at the present time there are several bills dealing with the matter before con- EreSS. But even as there appears to he a disregard for economy in federal expenditures there also seems to be a. disposition to sidetrack legislation that would help to stra ighten out the unhusinesslike methods of making federal appropriations.

FIRE PREVENTION

In keeping with similar action in other states Governor Holcomb has designated the ninth Of October as Fire Prevention day. It is not a new effort for the day has been observed for the past few years for the purpose or bringing to the minds of the peo- pie. and particularly the younger generations. the very great import snce of reducing the large losses in lives and property that occur every year.
 IL is of course not simply a ques- ton of making supreme effort in behalf of fire prevention on the ninth of October, but by calling attention on that specially designated day throughout the country to the great need of giving attention at all times 10 removing conditions that are con- ducive to fire. to eliminating recog- nized firetraps and to inpressing upon the minds of the people old as well as young. the wisdom of guard ing against such dangers it will be possible to arouse a greater interest in the subject that will have it's good effect throughout the year
 Fire Prevention day, like other special days is for sthe purpose of education Under ordinary ci-cun- stances 100 little attention is given to the prevention of fires. We hold LID our hands in horror at some large loss of fire and property in another part Of the country. but we forget about it the next day. We are in clined to remember the lesson q bit longer if the loss happens to be near home or in our midst but even then tt doesn't take long for time to eIirni nate II from our memory and we go along doing the same careless things hnd making the same needless errors That others have done
 There is no telling of oo,1rSe i,,s4 how much good Fire Prevention dav ioes but when it is observed in the schools it is bound like other lessons | 10 make it's impression and as each | tear passes the good work persistent Y kept up accomplishes what is de- 1 sIred and what has previously, like 1 ire prevention itself been neglected ]!

A GREAT CHANGE.

In view of the great amount of un-
 rest and industrial inactivity at the
 very time when there should be set tied conditions and the wheels of in dustry kept humming for the inn provement of conditions. special in terest is bound to be manifested in the undertaking of Governor Smith of New York state who issto appoint an industrial peace comnai ssIon with the idea of preventing strikes.
 It is an ambitious undertaking wherein he proposes a. board of nine members. a third each to represent the employers, the employees and. the general public. who shall serve with out pay. have the support of the state and the governor and who shall be at the state capital five days a week ready to hear complaints and inves tigate grievances and through their efforts make it unnecessary to call strikes and thereby overcome the great amount of trouble and industrial stagnat ation that is occurring under present conditions.
 Much was seen in the possibilities of the plan recommended by the New York state branch of the labor fed eration had it been agreed to and carried out. but it never got beyond the report stage Equally so has there been placed much faith in the boards of mediation and conciliation as well as arbitrat tion that have been appointed to meet similar conditions and for like reasons. Yet despite the existence of such agencies for helping the labor situation strikes continue to be called. production stops and many more than those directly involved suffer.
 Governor Smith maintains that there is not single one of these dis puteS that cannot be settled before they mean decrease in production It is certainly a commendable view to take and it is to be hoped that he can prove through his commission that such is possible. There is cer-

Recent discussions of the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty. and various phases of America's relations to Japan. have revived interest in the historic introduction of the western world to Japan, which was effected by the visit of Commodore Perry in the early ffties.
