Several of the larger cities who are trying to
persuade themselves that daylight saving means
much to them, are discussing various plans for
continuing the present system of keeping the
clocks one hour ahead Of the sun. That privilege
will not be opposed by farmers and others who
will go back to Standard time again on Oct 26.
We venture to predict that before many years are
over daylight saving will be dead issue in the
cities. The class of people that have sponsored
the freak day will be greatly taken up with other
fads before then.

the development OF what is known as
the intensive plan of financial cam

work, but has since come into very
general use for all philanthropic en-
terprises.
At the outbreak of the war, Mr.
Ward became director general of the
first campaign for $100,000,000 of chr
American Red Cross. Later he di
rected such national war campaigns as
the Red Cross, United States Food Ad

paign, which produced $170,000,O00 in
May of this year The total amount

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses,
must have tradition behind them,
writes Henry Sci lei Candy in the Yale
Review. The Homers and Shake
speares and Goethes spring from rich
soil left by dead centuries; they are
like native trees that grow so well no.
where else. The little writers-hacks,
who sentimentalize to the latest order,
and display their plot novelties like
bargains on an advertising page--are
just as traditional. The only differ
ence is that their tradition goes back
to books instead of life. Middle-sized
authors-the very good and the prob
ably enduring successful largely
because they have gripped tradition
and followed It through to contem-
porary life. That is what Thackeray
did in vanity Fair" Howells in "The
Rise Of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar-
ton In 1.-THE House Of Mirth." But
back-to-nature books-both sound ones
and those shameless exposures Of the
private emotions Of ground-hogs and
turtles that call themselves nature
books--are the most traditional Of all.
For they plunge directly into what
might be called the adventures Of the
American subconsciousness.

A banker who, for the first time In
his life, has come into intimate con-
tact with poverty-stricken folk, says: +:
"The average man wants only half a
chance to be honest. This is thing
worth learning. But 1t did not require
visits to the slums to find It out. A
little thought would have served as
well. The mass Of people is consti-
tuted of average men. The mass has
the power to do whatever 1t wills to
do. II could, IL IL wished, rise in the
night and strip the rich bare, and,
since II is the mass that represents
the majority will, It could, so far. as
law is concerned, 60 unpunished. But
the average man Is honest. The mass
wants nothing Of bloodshed and rob-
berry. Those who possess are safe
from those who have nothing. Our
banker friend who visited Poverty Row
used his eyes. His remark shows that,
for most of his years, he hadn't, on
this particular subject, used his brains.

Not to Be Shifted At.

In the Harlem court Of New York,
Mrs. Nellie Colthiss was the principal
witness against her husband, whose ar
raignment she had caused on charge
of disorderly conduct. She declared
he had thrown every portable trifle in
their home at her earlier In the day,
that he was not supporting her prop
erly and that she wanted him put un-
der bond to pay certain sum each
week. "You are not afraid that this
man will attack you If release him
over night, are your" asked the court.
"AfraidT asked Mrs. Colthiss. "Well,
I guess not. Last night threw Just as
much as he did, but he was the one
that started It. I could knock the
head off the little shrimp II wanted
to; but, your honor, he makes $12 n
week, and that ain't to be shifted at
nowadays"

Importance Of Discipline.

There is not that thing In the world
Of more grave and urgent Importance
throughout the life of man, than Is dis
cipllne. What need I instance7 He
that hath read with judgment of
nations and commemorative, Of cities
and camps, of peace and war, sea and
land, will readily agree that the
fiourishing and decaying of all civil
societies, all the movements and turn
ings of human occasions, are moved
to and fro as on an axle of discipline.
So that whatsoever power and sway In
mortal things weaker men have attrib-
uted to fortune, burst with more
confidence ascribe either to the vigor
or the slackness of discipline. And
certainly discipline is not only the re-
moval Of disorder :. but the
very visible shape and image Of vir-
tues; whereby she Is not only seen in
the regular gestures and motions Of
her heavenly peace as she walks, but
also makes the harmony Of her voice
audible to mortal ears.--Milton.

ApnIIeation OF Term Creole.

The term Creole is Of uncertain orr
gin, and has been applied to different
race blends and mixed natiohalities.
George w. Cable, native Of Louisiana.
which is sometimes called "the Creole
state" and author Of novel entitled.
"Old Creole Days." says: "The term
did not first belong to the descendants
Of Spanish but of the French settlers.
But such a meaning implied a certain
excellence of origin, and so came early
to include any native Of French or
Spanish descent by either parent,
whose new allegiance with the slave
race entitled him to social rank. Later,
the term was adopted by, not conceded
to, the natives of mixed blood, ana Is
still so used among themselves. Be-
sides French and Spanish, there are
even, for convenience Of speech, col
ored Creoles but there are no italian
or SicilIan, nor any English, Scotch or
Irish or Yankee Creoies." In the West
Indies and in Mexico the term was ap-
piled to whites Of pure Spanish or
French extraction, but In the United
States 1t was applied "'so to persons
of mixed negro blood. -

Cotton Instead Of Silk.

For almost a hundred years no one
thought Of making thread other than
from linen and silk. Cotton was not SO
much as thought of. Then Napoleon,
who had been devastating Europe.
thought he would strike blow at the
silk industry of Hamburg, and caused
the stocks of silk to be burned. The
thread makers of Paisley thus found
their supplies Of raw material cut off,
and they had to look about to find a
substitute. Cotton was tried, and was
found to answer the purpose so well
that the basis of an entirely new indus
try was laid-the manufacture of "cot-
ton" thread. From this time on the
progress of the new industry was
steady. ..
