PLACING THE BLAME

In seeking to throw the responsibility for the death of many persons from wood alcohol poisoning used in the manufacture of Xmas drinks on prohibition, the advo- cates of liquor again demonstrate the weakness of any argument for the sale of booze. The present form of prohibition as existing in the states is not in force thru any effort of the prohibitionists but is purely war measure. It is effective today because the United States senate failed to pass the ratification resolution necessary to restore the country to a state of peace But to say that the senate is responsible for the tragedy of those deaths would be il- logical.
 Disregard for the law brot about the deaths. A desire by certain persons to have drinks with 'kick" in them on the one hand gratified by the willingness of others to supply those drinks both equally illegal, is at the bottom of the whole thing. The first took a chance and paid for it in death or total blindness The latter should be run down and punished as severely as the law will allow.

SAVING DAYLIGHT

Dissatisfied with the Waste-Or loss incurred thru the repeal of the daylight saving act many states are beginning eff forts to effect a new system of daylight saving thru state rather than national legislation. The movement is particularly strong in eastern commonWcaIths where the manufacturing interests are interested in the question to a great extent.
 Surveys by chambers of commerce and industrial organizations are in progress in sixteen states to ascertain public sentiment regarding a continuation of daylight say ing and the campaign will be extended turnout the country before next April, ac- cordng to Marcus NJ. Marks president of the national daylight saving association.
 The states where the movement is un- der way for permanently exchanging ''an hour of night for an hour of light" are Pennsylvania, Maryland Virginia, Tenncs- see, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut, Minnesota and Kentucky.
 Proponents of the idea in Massachu- setts, 2S00 manufacturers belonging to the Associated Industries of that state, who are making the survey there, according to MT. Marks, reported that a bill would be introduced in the next legislature which meets in January and that ''it would be supported by majority in both the sen- ate and the house."
 
 New York state for two years has had a daylight saving law on it's statue books and, Mr. Marks said, any effort to repeal It would be hopeless, without the help of legislators from New York and Buffalo most of whom, he said, had been found in favor of the law. At present the months for daylight saving in New York conform to the old federal statue, from March to October. To have the law miform Mr. Marks said an amendment will be intro duced changing the time from the last Sun day in April to the last Sunday in Septem- Der. The New York board of aldermen's s recent acton In passing a daylight saving ordinance, 1t was said, had impelled other cities to take similar steps.
 Fifteen of the eighteen mayors of Connectlcut,' continued MT. Marks Ere gently voted unanimously at conference in New Haven to initiate campaigns in their cities at once for daylight saving. Hartford previously had blazed the trail by adopting an ordinance which will be in eff feet the last Sunday of April next year Plainfield, N. J., has taken similar action In Baltimore, Md, referendum vote

TT WAS FORESIGHT.

Considering that they were "rubes" and
'hayseeds," in the eyes of the professional poll
tician, the farmers who met at Bismarck last
winter, to pass a few laws, seemed to have a
number Of valuable lunches. Nobody expected
this year a plague Of grasshoppers. Yet they
have attacked several counties in the western
part of the state and have now appeared in the
Red River Valley. The farmers must have had
a bunch on this when they passed the law pro-
viding for the determination Of grasshoppers,
arranging for county commissioners, after be-
ing petitioned, to cooperate with the Agricu]-
tural College and providing for the required
poison to stop the pest. The result has been
that we had the machinery to handle the hop
pers and we have been able to lay Town a poi
son barrage and say: They shall not pass"
Railroad Commissioners the right to hold a
hearing and establish rates for public utilities.
The telephone companies seem to think they can
raise rates without warning, just as they used
to do, and with neither leave nor license from
anybody. But it is different now They must
give thirty days. notice and come in and show
cause why they are making the increase. An
other instance Of this same hunch and foresight
is in the interstate freight rates. AS soon as
the government let's go Of the railroads, our To-
cal freight rates will, under the farmers law,
drop down to the level that Minnesota has been
enjoying these many years. Perhaps they were
as the old gang called them, "Rubes" and 'Hay-
Seeds" but watch us pass our plate back next
year for a second helping.

The Strange Adventures

"He must have gone with Love
man--" And as clifford answered
he was asking himself vastly more
vital question: Where was Mary
Regan?
But where did they go?" cried the
father. Cant we get him?"
Clifford did not reply. Already his
faculties had recovered; they were
working with incredible speed.
speed that made each thought fash.
He recalled what he had witnessed
and heard before Bradley had come
recalled the details of the plot with
which Bradley had taunted his VIC
tim-he totaled them--he made his
deduction.
He sprang across the room with new
energy and seized Slim, Harrison by
the collar. "They wouldn't have
taken your car without you! You're
going to drive us.-and you're go
ing to show US all your machine has
got. Come on. Jimmie" he cried
sharply. mo. Jimmie, you and Uncle
George go down and look through
the basement and see if there's signs
OF any Of them there-and meet me
out in front. Come on, Mr.. Nor
tom"
And leaving the bruised and unre-
garding Bradley in charge of Jim
mics men. Clifford hurried the dazed
Slim Harrison before him through
the. tapestries and out of LIE Ban's
house of luxurious silence,

wanted to get you out OF the way Iof
while" -
There was no time for fuller expla-
nations. "We're just starting after
Loveman and Jack"
Mr.. Morton had moved toward them.
Mary" he said, his voice steady only
through great effort, I'D like to have
you go along to help bring Jack back
if Mr.. Clifford doesn't mind"
She hesitated, then glanced ques-
tioningly at Clifford. Clifford nodded.
"All right" she agreed
Here's where l resign" said Uncle
old, that Pm too fat that I'm not
needed, and that there's no room for
me. The best of luck to you!"
Thanks, Uncle George" And Cliff
ford gripped his hand.
They hurried into the long. low,
borne Mary upon that cunnfngly de-
vised saturnalia. Jimmie, IL you
don't mind, sit i'm front with Slim
Harrison" said Clifford, and himself
took the rear seat with Mr.. Morton,
Mary between them. He leaned for
into Sims eat. "Slim. l know this is
great machine, and l know that
when you want to be you're great
driver-and understand this, your
only chance Of getting out of this af-
fair halfway easy is for you to get
fo 1ofo hon ha
car ahead. Now, turn her loose"
Slim turned her loose. Once he was
we'll across the Fifty-ninth Street
bridge he lived up to all that the
sporting pages had ever said in praise
of his ability. The new car. clinging
tight to the glass smooth oiled ma
cadam, flashed in breath through
vllages-past dimly seen summer
cottages" Of New York millionaires,
grand ducal in their leisured mag
nificence-and on over the motor
parkway through the humid, deserted
night.
In the rear seat there was silence.
except for the gale begotten by the
machines great speed. Now and then,
by the wift-passing lights of viii
lage, Clifford saw the face Of Mary
Regan; 1t was pale and set seemed
without expression, and was fixed un-
changingly ahead, not so much upon
the brilliantly illumined road before
them as upon the spa ces of the night.
He wondered what she was thinking
Of-She who had experienced SO m much
these last few months, so many things
that her calculations had not for
seen. But the swiftly gone glimpses
or her white face gave him no
clue
And now and again Clifford saw the
face of Mr.. Morton beside her. Also
the face Of this masterful man Of
business, who ruled his thousands of
men and dominated a score OF COM
panies, and yet had failed to direct
his own son in the way he would have
him go-also Mr.. Morton's face was
drawn and pale. but it was fxed with
straining impatience upon the road
way. Now and then Clifford saw him
turn and gaze at Mary, whose for
ward-fixed look never shifted, and
then turn back to the road, wetting
his drawn, thinned lips
All the while Clifford's own mind
was working. The protest. onal part
OF clifford felt the exultatiom Of tri =
umph already won--and the exultant
