WILSON'S VETO HOLDS
Daylight Bill Lacks 23 Voters OF
Passage Over Veto.

Washington, July 14.-Repeal of

dead issue for the present, at least,
by the failure of the house today to

dent Wilson'S veto. The vote was
PAT to 1885, proponents of repeal mus
tering twenty-three votes less than
the required two-thirdS majority.
The agricultural bill will be pa@s-
ed with the repeal rider eliminated
and it was said that no effort would
be made to pass the iCpeal measure

MORAL STANDARDS
LOWERED BY War
Never Again Look For Vic
torian Ideal, London
Press Is Told

London, July 12-Considerable
space and comment is being taken in
the London press regarding the
lowered standard of morals" caused
by the war. Recently the Daily Mail
printed a symposium of views on the
matter:
Mr.. JUSTICE Darling said: I'm moth
ing has the war done more harm
than in the relaxation on the part of
women. This has now reached a
point that can be seen in a walk
along the street. Women differ by
the width of Heaven from what their
mothers were"
/ Mr.. Justice Darling's views were
widely discussed yesterday. 1--WE
must never again expect to have
Victorian responsibility" said DIR.
Mary Scharlieb. THE daughter lives
today in a very different world from
that in which her mother existed.
She is surrounded by far more temp
tatiOns. The telephone, the motor
car, the general speeding up of life,
all tend in one direction morally.
Il do not see any immediate pros
pect of the present, let us call it,
ightness passing off. Fundamental
ly it is the logical outcome of women
becoming Independent economically
ild, in lesser degree, politically A
girl is meeting men more on an
equality, and that is telling both
ways. But would not say that she
compares badly with her mother.
1T is no use ever expecting a re-
vival of parental control among the
masses. The girl will henceforth
control herself. l would say further
that Mr.. Justice Darling has proba-
bly, uttered his dictum as a result of
walk down the Strand. But let US
cease to compare ourselves with the
Nictorians. We are worse-and bet
ter.
why" said Lady Muir-Mackenzie,
doesn't Mr.. Justice Darling confine
his remarks to men? | am tired of
men laying down the law for women.
The open, unrestrained pleasure quest
of to-day is far less harmful morally
than the hidden, secret quest of yes
terday of the Victorians. You can
not judge life by what you see on the
surface. In any case, | always look
on the views of judge as warped"
Away From Prudery.
81 think" said Mrs. Clara Butt, 1--WE
are getting away from that awful
prudery-false, half the time by
getting used to seeing beauty for
beauty's sake-nOt for any other mo.
tive"
what Mr. Justice Darling says is
only too true" was the view eX-
pressed at a famous women's as
ISOLATION. The war has entirely
changed the former reserved attitude
of young women toward the opposite
sex. Much of the present laxity is
unquestionably due to young girls
taking drink. Everyone is far too
over-eXcited nowadays for any decent
moral tone to win through. If things
go on as they are at present-well,
the width of another place than Heav-
en- will separate the women of to-day
bad as they are as a whole, from the
daughters of tomorrow.
