Daylight Saving

1.-THE general impression last summer was
that most people were satisfied with the daylight
saving Law" says the Indianapolis News.< Fig
ures were submitted to show that it was worth
millions of dollars to the country, and it certain
ly aided town people and city people in producing
garden products The satisfaction expressed was
so widespread that many persons considered the
law fixture. Now rider on the agricultural
bill provides for the repeal of the law.
Most Of the protests against the existing
measure come from farmers. Some of them hold
that turning the clock forward does not aid them
in any way because the dew is on the grass dur
ing early morning hours and they can not get to
work until it dries off. Other arguments used
by some Of the farmers are that daylight saving
closes the town and city stores too early, that
form labor quits at o'clock. regardless Of what
sort of law is in effect and that taken from all
angles they get no particular benefit from it.
However, the farmer shares in the general
benefit of all mankind Doubtless many farmers
would not oppose the daylight saving act if they
realized the benefit it has brought to others.
City and town residents found it great boon.
With an hour more Of daylight they were able to
live with their children, work in their gardens,
make repairs around the home place and in var
ious ways serve themselves or the community.
Even if no actual work was done during the
added hour, the time was frequently spent in re-
creation that resulted in better work being done
in office or shop the next day. In other coun-
tries where the law has been tried it has proved
so popular that there is no present thought Of re-
pealing it. People have wondered why this coun-
try did not adopt the custom before and, gener-
ally speaking, they were supposed to be so well
pleased with last years experiment that they
were hopeful that it would become permanent"

time when the sturdiest loyalty was required Of
all Americans. It was also charged that they
conspired. through devious agencies, to discour-
age service in the United States army and to in
cite rebellion against the draft law. On both
these counts, and on no other, were they convict
led. The sentence Of twenty years has been met
ed on the conviction thus obtained.
There has been no other issue. Wherein,
then, does it appear that the political freedom OF
any of the defendants has been abridged?
The government did not allege Socialism as
an offense. On the contrary. the ethics of the
prosecution, laid down by the constitution, pro-
hibited even the merest reference to matters for
|eign to the evidence and particularly as to the
political thought of those on trial. Whatever Of
Socialist doctrine appeared in the trial was in
troduced by the defense and not by the prosecu-
ton. The prosecution avoided it.; the defense
welcomed it.
From this statement of facts only one con-
clusion can be adduced: Berger and his fellows
have sought to justify their disloyalty to the
United States by raising the false issue of polite
al rights # this doctrine is just it is possible to
escape the penalty Of murder by like means.
Socialism cannot be urged as cloak for plain
law violation Sedition by Socialist is just as
vicious and as objectionable as by Republican
or a Democrat.
We have suggested before and we now repeat
it, that it is strange to behold men Of obvious
German origin at the head and front of activities
offensive to the United States when we were at
war with Germany. Does the public believe for
moment that these same men would have been
similarly obstructive had our war been with Eng
land?
The charge was Of giving comfort to the
enemy, and we know the enemy was Germany.
We do not know that they would have sought OBJ
struction as against any other nation; but we do
know they comforted the empire of the kaiser
The issue is far from Socialism as such.
The complaint of Berger and his associates
that they were victims of ''capitalistic con-
spiracy' finds but small Judgment when poll
of the jury is taken. On the jury were farmers,
insurance agents, stock buyer, fruit dealer,
lnachinists, an inventor-surely competent test
of plain Americanism. The issue was of law OBJ
servance, not politics.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Feb 4.-Announcement that a
grain pact would be signed Immediately
by the Argentine government and the
entente allies with no specification as to
minimum prices had a bearish influence
today on corn, The close was heavy, 2l2
to he net lower. May, $i.17% to $i,17%
and July S1.1s% to S1.13%. Oats lost y
to 1Mm%c. In provisions the outcome
ranged from 15c decline TO an advance of
2 cents.
Inasmuch as corn had risen here yester-
day chiefly owing to assertions that Argen-
tina had forbidden export shipments Of
corn bought below stated minimum, the
new arrangement with the entente led
to a good deal Of important selling pres
sure, when the market opened this morn
ing. Better weather to stimulate the do
nestle crop movement was also a handi-
cap to the bulls. Rallies which ensued
were not of a decided character, and later
were more than offset by reports that
feeding demand had fallen off to an I'M
usual extent, especially in the west and
southwest.
Oats followed the trend Of corn. There
were some inquiries from the seaboard,
but no new export sales, and domestic de-
mand was slow.
Provisions sympathized with higher quo
tations on hogs, but afterward sagged in
view Of the weakness Of corn and by
reason Of big stocks shown at western
