Early Rising.

Congress repealed the national day
light saving law, but was not able at
the same time to repeal the popularity
of summer time. It is reported now
that Washington, D. c., may rise early
next summer in spite of the august
law making body, The clerks in some
government bureaus have taken a vote
on the subject and have gone on rec
ord as strongly in favor of going to
work in the morning half an hour
earlier than standard time in order
to have the extra half hour of daylight
at the end Of their working day. 1T
Is expected that other employees and
officials will follow their example, and
most of the capital s daily business
will then start and finish by this sane
and healthful daylight schedule.
1t should be noted that the govern
nent employees did not advocate al
tering the clocks at ALL They intend
to save daylight but not necessarily
to confuse the time pieces of the ma
tion Theirs is really the best way to
ACCOMPLISH the very desirable results
OF summer time.
BY this plan, city resident, who
profit most by daylight saving can en-
JOY their extra daylight leisure with
out disturbing rural residents. It has
been argued that because the farmer
works from sunrise to dark anyhow, he
should have no objection to daylight
saving. But if under standard time
the farmer has to rise at dawn to get
his produce to the city by the time the
markets open, or to have his milk ready
for the. early milk train, under the day
light saving schedule he must rise
just 50 much earlier probably in the
dark, even in summer-in order to meet
those same appointments.
If more people followed this habit
and simply rose earlier in summer, re
firing earlier, too, they would avoid
confusion, save their daylight aad play
fair with everybody concerned.

second place.
1t is very doubtful if municipal rule
over utilities could have done any bet
ter and it is probable that municipal
rule could not have done as well.
The people want the utilities and IN
der council agreement the utilities
would have to have rates which would
bring them enough for operation and
some profit for the men who have in
vested in them. If the city made a
contract which failed to bring this
amount of money the utilities would be
forced into bankruptcy and the city
would lose the eonveniences it is de-
handing.
Even if through the efforts of Ra-
cine, Kenosha and other cities the pow
er Of the Railroad Commission to CON
troll utilities was broken still the same
problem would have to be met.
The increase in rates charged by
public utilities has not been greater
than the increase Of everything else
that enters into the cost of living. In
most cases it will be found to have
been smaller. These companies may
have made profits in the past but these
profits have been divided to investors
and it is mighty foolish to suggest that
these investors may now be assessed
to pay losses.
The commission for the most part
has shown spirit Of fairness. It has
recognized that the utilities must be
continued in business and that the peo-
pie, must get the service of them at
the lowest possible rate. Of course
this rate is not as low as the people de-
sire or demand. It never can be.
The commission rule has removed a
lot of abuses which came with the rule
Of the municipalities in other days.
Bribery and corruption whirh were fea-
tured in connection with nearly every
franchise sought has been eliminated.
This is worth something to the people.
They know now that the money they
pay is paid for utility service and that
it is not lining the pockets Of grafters.
A return to the old system means the
opening Of the doors Of graft again.
The people must pay. They might
just as well pay fairly and above board
for what they get as to pay the same
money and get bad service and bank
ruptcy for the utilities. The commits
sion may have committed errors but we
are not ready to say these errors have
proved a failure of the commission
system.

6.Blowing,, tra conmission

We are not prepared to say toff
hand = or without rather exhaustive
study, that we are in favor Of the city
Of Kenosha joinging with the city of
Racine in its efforts to blow the rail
road commission. -
To begin with we are not entirely
convinced that the best interests Of
the cities affected would be served by
the elimination of the commission from
Its control of public utilities.
To end up with, we are very much
ia doubt as to any successful termina-
bion Of any suit brought to have the
commission ousted from it's place in
Eontrol of the utilities. Several big
winds have blown against the rule Of
The commission in the years that it has
been in operation in the state and it
has found it comparatively easy to
weather all of them.
Undoubtedly the commission has
made errors, undoubtedly it's orders
haven not always been based on JUS
hce, many times it has appeared to
the layman that the commission has
been more interested in the future Of
The utilities that in the purses Of the
Baople, but just the same the commits
sion idea is put on the right basis.
The public utility is the hardest
problem to be met by cities of today.
The problem for the men who have
financed these utilities is even harder
and the position Of the commission
standing as buffer between the utih-
ties fighting for life and the munich
palities fighting for lower rates or for
stationary rates is hardest of all.
The public utility is necessity. We
have learned to have our conveniences
and we are going to demand them in
the future and if we are going to get
them we have got to pay for them. In
these days people pay for what they
get and in most cases pay high for it.
Kenosha has had lot of commission
decision in recent months which may
have led aldermen and others in official
life to believe that the pulse Of the
commission was decidedly sensitive to
Che call of the public utility. Rates
nave been increased, new privileges
have been granted to the utilities and
it has, at times, appeared that the
nights Of the people were subjected to

ed. Other relatives of BogWilo were in
the court room when the verdict was
returned and they hurried about him
to congratulate him.
Sim Satisfied, ? Says Defendant
AS he was waiting for the judge to
dictate the commitment to the hospi-
tai Bogwilo said, 81 am satisfied all
right" but his drawn face indicated
more than words the disappointment
which he felt, 81 suppose the court is
right in the matter and I am ready to
abide cheerfully with the decision, y
he continued. He said good night to
the boys and hurried away with the
sheriff to get ready for his trip to the
state institution. 1t was declared that
the children would be allowed to visit
Bogwilo on Christmas day and that he
would remain at the Jail until after
that time.
After the hearing was over sugges-
ton was made that the same law might
govern the Anna Auster case tried
some time ago, but in this case the YER
dict submitted was a different form
than was submitted in the Bogwilo
case.
Members of the jury which heard the
case were not communicative as to the
consideration of the case by the jury.
a. Halle of Pleasant Prairie, was the
foreman of the jury and he declined to
discuss the question of just how the
verdict was reached. 1t is declared,
however. that on an early ballot all
save one Of the Jurors expressed the be-
lieve that there was reasonable doubt
as to the sanity Of Bogwilo at the time
Of the shooting. This jury joined the
majority just before eight clock and
made the return of the verdict possible.

should wood Resign?

The candidacy Of Maj-Gen. Leonard
Wood, U. S. A., for president of the
United States grows apace. The gem
eral rs movements as told in the news
dispatches indicate that he is no SLOUGH
of a canvasser. Quite likely he has
taken leaf from the book of his life
long friend, the late lamented rough
rider.
AS a major general in the regular
army he draws $4,000 year salary
from the public treasury with addition
al allowance for quarters rent,
light and fuel He is SO years old and
therefore is due for retirement at
what amounts to full pay in about
three years.
1t has been suggested that inasmuch
as he is full-fledgAl candidate for
the presidency General Wood should
resign from the army at once. On the
other hand it is pointed out that few
candidates do any such thing until
after they are electedor anyway I'M
til the nominations are handed to them.
Charles Evans Hughes sat tight on the
supreme bench in 1916 until the Re-
publican convention at Chicago voted
him as the party s candidate for presi-
dent Roosevelt stuck to the COVER
nor s chair to the end of his term, al
though he had given much Of the pre-
vious year to his canvass for the vice
presidency. William Mckinley was an
active candidate during the entire four
years he held the Office of governor Of
Ohio. Grover Cleveland remained gov
ernor Of New York in 1884 even after
he had been elected president.
These were civilian candidates.
What have the army candidates done
in such casesg w. S, Hancock was a
major general in the army when he was
a candidate for the Democratic nomin-
alton for president in 1880. Evidently
he did not consider it necessarily good
ethics to resign his commission. Gener-
al y, s. Grant resigned from the army
after his election in 1868; he was in
command OF the army all through the
campaign In 1852 General Winfield
Scott, the hero Of the Mexican war,
was candidate for the Wing nomina-
tion and he got it. He didn t resign
before or after the convention made
him the standard bearer.
Thus the precedent is overwhelming
that a man can hang onto whatever Of
fee he holds until he gets the nomina-
tion, and after. The question, there
fore is up to General Wood s own per
sonal ethics ~of what course he should
take in view of all circumstances If
he is going to rush over this country
with all the campaigning pep of a
Roosevelt, does he feel that he will
be right in pocketing the public money
while he does little or no major gem
erallinga Would it not, indeed, be bet
ter politics, better tactics, to resign
from the army and seek the exalted POI
sition as civilian rateh than as a
blood and iron soldiers
We leave it to Leonard
