Daylight Saving.
Burlington News.)

There is much talk of speeding up pro.
duction on the farms this summer. II is
pointed out that in addition to feeding
our own country there is a great need
of sending food overseas.
In order that farm production may be
speeded up the first thought is that ev-
cry aid be given the farmers in their eff
forts yet there is determined opposition
to the doing away of the daylight saving
plan OF year ago.
The farmers found that this did not
work well, it took from them an hour of
daylight in the morning when it was
needed and gave it to them in the evening
when it was not. The aggregate amount
of time thus lost in farm production was
tremendous and should not be repeated.
Ostensibly the primary object of the
whole daylight saving plan gasI to grow
more produce. Later it developed strong
appeal from the standpoint of recreation.
1t seems to be question OF whether
we want to help the farmers in their
| task of feeding a large part of the world
or of providing a greater opportunity for
recreation.
We admit strong feeling in favor OF
more hours of play for the workers but
when there is involved the. greater prob
lem of production on the farms we in
cline to the farmers view of the situa-
ton.

Chance for Economy.
{ Barre Times. }

From the standpoint of economy in
administration, there is much to be said
in favor of the consolidation of the
Vermont state prison and the Vermont
house of correction, as it is certain that
the two institutions could be run in
conjunction much more cheaply than
when separated as far as Rutland is
from Windsor and with two distinct
plants and two distinct administra-
tions. And if the two institutions were
practically merged into one, instead of
being conducted in conjunction while
maintaining their separate identities, it
is probable that a still more economi-
cal operation might be possible with
out sacrifice of efficiency. in either and
without having harmful effect on the
inmates. In fact, most of the weight
of the argument seems TO be in favor
of the consolidation of the two institu-
tions.

THE LEAGUE is COMING.

Evidence accumulates that a league of |
nations will be perfected England,
France and Italy are strong for it and |
President Wilson has been the leader |
in reducing the proposition to concrete |
form. There has been, perhaps still is, |
some question about the attitude of the |
American people but it is becoming more |
evident they are in favor of it. The
most able opponents of the league in the
United States senate concede the desir-
ability of an international organization
that shall make future war impossible
Even Senators Lodge and Cummings have
ceased opposing league and are now
suggesting amendments of the present
draft. That means there is no longer
partisan opposition to the idea of a
| league; and with the idea of league
endorsed by members of all political
parties it becomes an established ideal
The dispute now is over details, not the
general plan or ideal.
The general proposition makes an APP
peal to Americans to perform their full
duty to themselves and the nations which
| have given so much of their life and
treasure to the suppression of the menace
of German aggression. The American
people always respond to the appeals of
justice and patriotism. To them the
Sinking or evasion of a moral obligation
is an abomination and they will not de-
sert their devastated allies in the pres
ent crisis.
They want to assume the responsible
ties of the league because it is the safer
course for them to pursue. America
acting alone. as it has in the past, as an
independent r"rcgnty cannot be the
power it car , alliance with the greater
nations of Europe that it has helped in

while the full assumption of its obliga-
tions would give it the combined power
Oh all nations associated Win III. III
would not only be protected from agrees

tions protected from the greatest menace

The elements of strength, safety and

He soon with an irresistible unanimity
will be clamoring for place in league
