PUT IT UP 10 COL. HeUSEp

The strong probability is that the
daylight law will have to go. City
people in general like it. 1t fits into
their day well and gives them long
afternoon. n city people were 10 vote
for or against the daylight law it
would carry by overwhelming major
ity: but the farmers do not like 1t and
the sentiment in the rural districts
is not only growing against it but is
being organized thoroughly and with
prospects of effectiveness. The petit
tons and appeals to congress to change
the law will have mighty effect upon
that body and it need create no as
constituent if the force thus exercised
shall succeed in obtaining the repeal
OF the law from the coming session.
There is no doubt that the daylight
law works disad vantage to the farmer.
1t dsturbs his routine Of work, glv,.s
rise to annoyances in conducting the
labor of the farm and seriously COM
plicates the labor question for him.
Farm labor is not organized It's hours
have depended very largely upon
weather and other conditions that do
not affect the city worker to similar
extent. 1t is mostly outdoor work.
Farm work also has exigencies that
do not arise in factories and in most
city employment. Hence the protest
which has now taken on an organized
form and thus attained a surer eff
fectiveness.
On the other hand city workers will
not willingly return to the old time
after having enjoyed the advantages

THE WAY TO AVOID WAR.

The revised covenant of the league
nations is about as was expected. 1t
is better than no covenant at all, and
its tendency will be to avoid war, but
it is sadly lacking in one particular
still. We wish we could write just one
more amendment: NO nation sigma
tory to this agreement shall be the
first to declare war without previously
submitting the question to a referen-
dunn vote of it's people" The war maxi
ing power should be lodged directly in
the hands of the people. All the other
articles and agreements are as nothing
compared to this one.

II may be assumed that the farmers
as a class are against government

OF the railroads. And for the reasons
that they are taxed more and more IN

Restraints


Basle.-Draft Of the proposed new
constitution for Germany, recently pre-
pared, provides that all Germans shall
have the same rights before the law
and that all privileges and advantages
of birth, social condition or creed shall
be abolished, according to Berlin ad-
vices received here.
The free exercise of religious prac-
tice is guaranteed, within the limits Of
morality and public order. and no one
shall be compelled to take part in any
religious act or ceremony or to make
known his religious convictions. 1t is
provided the authorities shall have no
right to ask questions on this subject.
Scientific instruction, the measure
provides, shall be free aud accessible

shall be modified by a comprehensive
process, with a view to the re-popula-
ton of the country districts. COLOMBIA
ton will be fostered in districts where
there has not been as yet reasonable
fusion of the great, medium-sized and

OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Interesting Relics Coming to the
United States.
Expedition Under the Auspices Of the
Pennsylvania University Museum
y Has Been Highly Successful
In Its Explorations.

Despite handicaps caused by the
war, the Pennsylvania University mu-
scum has acquired many relics un-
earthed at Memphis by its Egyptian
expedition. A vessel will be char
tered to transport the relics.
The expedition started on its trip
In March, 1915, and continued explor-
ations until last June, when the short
age Of labor and the high prices Of
materials due to the war. caused
cessation In the work.
A representative of the Roumanian
government had obtained the conces-
sion of the whole site, but the war In
tervened and the Egyptian expedi-
ton offered the university party the
choice of any portion. An area near
the colossi Of Rameses III was select
ed, because of the discoveries made In
that region by an inspector Of an
tiquities for lower Egypt. He had re-
vealed what was apparently the room
Of Pharaohs palace.
Excavations by the party from the
university museum proved the build
ing to be the royal residence Of Me-
nenptah. who ruled from 1925 B. @. to
1915 B. G. The explorers found three
layers of earth, representing the an
cient location Of as many civilizations.
A large Roman city had occupied the
site of the topmost layer, underneath
which were large masses of masonry
belonging to the period estimated to
have been 1920 B. c., and the lowest
layer revealed ruins of the palace OF
Menenptah at total distance of from
sixteen to eighteen feet below the sur.
face level.
The palace, which had been unharm-
ed by the natives, apparently had
been a magnificent structure. Lime
stone was the material used for the
columns and Trainings, while the outer
walls Were ~ snp-dried brick. The
eastern wing Of the palace, which was
the first to be .excavated. contained
magnificently decorated apartments
where the Pharaoh and his wife Cor

the column had a row of sepals in
relief springing from a broad band of

were large lotus flowers inlaid in ia
