Compulsory Saving

You'll have to get up an hour ear
lier after the first of April. Do so
and blame it on the Senate filibusters.
The daylight saving law was passed
a year ago as war measure and its
repeal was up for passage when the
filibusters stopped the Legislative mill.
And just because Sherman, LaFollett
and their crew acted the fool, the bal
ance of the nation must suffer. 1t

had Standard time, but now that we

You have our sympathy, Brother
Herring, and the best we can do is to
suggest that you go back to Central
time, which we are so fortunate as to
have retained. Our personal observa-
ton of the Washington bunch has
taught us much, and one of the things
is that Congress never starts its daily
work until noon, but they are so So
fictitious of the common folks and
farmers as to want to get them out
at daybreak or before.

If Good Then, Why Not Now?

the good year of 1914 and the 18th day OF the
month of October Theodore Roosevelt ex-president
of the United States took his pen in hand and wrote
letter to newspaper.
The letter arrived safely its destination and was pub
lished by the newspaper addressed, namely The New
York Times, and it widely circulated.
The letter was copied also by many of the papers
throughout the land the time accepted by good
Republicans and many others sound doctrine. Wa
copy from that letter

possess force actual Immediately potential should

They should, Furthermore, agree not only to abide
each of them by the decision of the Court but all OF

the decree of the court against any recalcitrant

possible to get on a limitation of ornaments that
would be real and effective.
On the following June be exact, June 9, 1915, one
Henry Cabot Lodge, United States Senator from the

others heard the address and given to the news

foremost statesmen of the Republican party
And this, in part is what he said that day.
Nations must unite unite in order to pre-
serve peace and order. The great nations must be
so united as be able to say to any single country
''You must not go to war; and they say that
effectively when the country desiring war knows the
force which the united nations place behind peace is
irresistible.
In differences between nations which go beyond the

maintained by putting behind it the force of united
nations determined to uphold it and to prevent war

the maintenance of the worlds peace and the avoid

make the less will their present words be credited.

City Affairs and Finances

T Asst week we printed letter from Mr.. j. D. Black
IL on the subject Of city affairs and finances of the
water board in particular recent audit of all city
having been made, took occasion to examine
it personally in the Office of the mayor Although it was
lengthy should have published it in full if we had
been supplied with a copy, but as only one copy was
made that for city records and had not time to
spare for making full copy, we simply examined the
balance sheets exhibits of the audit for personal
satisfaction.
We could go into all the details behind the figures,
but SO far could 60 thought the report very
favorable one The notes for the $4,000 which were
misapplied by Scarboro do not appear liability and
their validity is denied.
On January first it appears that the city had outstand-
ing debts of $66000 exclusive of the bonded debt OF
