Saving Daylight and Health

1t is good to have daylight saving
placed upon its proper basis of
service to the public health, as was
done by DR.. Copeland at Albany.
Opponents of the measure are
prone to speak of it as fad Of ths
well-to-do, Of value only to golf
players and such. AS a matter OF
fact, the suburbanites and others
with ready access to outdoor sports
need it least of all. A good deal of
health-giving exercise and sun and
fresh air is their portion in any
event. 1t is the workers with long
hours, living in congested city areas,
who gravely need these extra hours
OF sunshine and recreation out of
doors.
Hospitals and sanatoria are
desperately needed and fill an
indispensable need. But it is to the
prevention Of disease that modern
communities are turning as an even
more fundamental and vital con-
Germ. The reduction in tuberculosis
figures for the city recently an
nounced is typical Of what can be
accomplished by early treatment Of
disease and preventive measures
forestalling the conditions whicl
give invading germs their op-
portunity to gain foothold.
Among such measures daylight saw
ing has been awarded conspicuous
position by medical experts. When
DR.. Copeland urged the preserve
tion Of daylight saving sin the name
of humanity and public health" he
stood upon accurate, scientific
fact.
The poll taken by the Merchants
Association showed 100000 out of
the 241,000 workers in the city in
favor of daylight saving. This
overwhelming vote undoubtedly
represents the sentiment of every
city and town in the state-whicl
is to say, four-ffths of the total
population. These complex, con
gested communities cannot obtain
daylight saving by either local reg.
ulation Or voluntary action. The
farmer is in far different situation.
Provided train schedules are proper.
ly adjusted, the rural difficulties can
speedily be surmounted. In past
seasons labor difficulties created the
chief hardship for the farmer in
adjusting his plant to the new
schedule, and .hese difficulties are
certain to be greatly lessened nexf
summer in view of the slump in in
dustry and consequent unem-
ployment.
The case certainly seems one in
which the health of the many must
prevail over passing inconvenience
to the few. Every friend of prog
ress and better health for the rank
and file of industrial workers will
hope that the State Legislature will
view the problem with the broad,
human outlook which it demands.
New-York tribune., 1921-02-04
Free Waists

Estimable and noble are the words
and purposes Of reformers ever.
Very often, too, they do push the
procession an inch or two this way
or that. But do the big waves of
popular action come through their
efforts? A dubious wag of the head
is the most favorable decision that
can be awarded the vast majority of
these would-he shifters Of the hu-
man scene
So with al applause for the move
ment in behalf of "better corseta''
initiated by the experts of the Life
Extension Institute, one cannot feel
confident that the figure Of woman
will therefore be remolded nearer to
the doctors desire. For all that may
be accomplished let us tender the
gratitude of a misshapen world. For
real progress along these lines give
us the newer generation, with it's
creedless souls and uncorseted waists
so grievously bewailed by the Con-
servators of the Past.
Just how did this wave Of freedom
uprise and sweep forward and crash
grandly upon the beach, spattering
old fogies with its spray? Not
through the efforts of any reformers,
it would seem. Or, If reformers had
q hand, their work was swallowed
up in larger currents. AS we'll find
the cause of poverty in the world
as fix the responsibility for the new
woman and the even newer genera
tion of boys and girls. Perhaps Mr..
Arkwright's celebrated invention did
it all. Perhaps co-education. The
one sure thing is that it is done.
The older generations doubtless
need the "better corsets" of the ex-
perts. For the debutantes and the
sub-debs, who swim and dance and
work as civilized maidens have not
swum or danced Or worked for gen.
erations, there is scant use of debat-
ing such dull matters. They will
wear what their muscles and their
hearts decree, and who are the stat
isticians of limp, wabbling elders
to give them or their souls advice!

Another Drive at the ScaIpers


The Legislature is going to try to
abate the theater ticket scalping
nuisance, taking up the task where
the Board of Aldermen was unfortu-
nately obliged to drop it. The board
passed an ordinance which might
eventually have put ticket specula-
tion on a reasonable basis. But the
courts ruled that the Aldermen ex-
ceeded their limited powers in regu-
lating the commission which a mid
dleman may charge.
The state Senate has just passed a
bill forbidding ticket spectators to
pursue their trade on the public
highways. The Aldermanic ordi-
nance drove most of the hawkers off
the streets; but they have estab-
lished themselves in little offices with
a street frontage whence they can
bark their wares as of old. This
kind of doorway" solicitation is pro-
hibited in the proposed state law,
which classifies as street speculators
the leather-lunged agents who oper-
ate from inside the bdilding line.
Another bill has been favorably
reported by the Judiciary Commit
tee, licensing all ticket peddlers and
forbidding sales at more than fifty
cents above box Office prices. Here
is the real safeguard against extor-
tion. Ii no commission runs higher
than half dollar scalping will be
shorn Of it's present piratical excite
ments and profits become more or
less prosaically mercantile.
The grudge most people have
against the present system is that it
compels them to accept middle
mans service which they would
gladly dispense with. Strangers,
hotel guests and others find it con-
venient to patronize agencies and
don't complain of the commission
charged. But residents who are able
and willing to buy seats at the box
office find it difficult to do SO in many
cases because the main supply has
been disposed of long in advance,
There is no free market for the aver
| age local theatergoer.
This is one consequence, however,
of the presence in New York of so
vast a floating population. The
stranger is exploited in the play
houses, although we may give him a
below-cost ride on the elevated or the
subway. The best that can be done,
probably, in the interest of perma-
nent residents is to restrict the cost
of rehandling, abolish it's irregulari-
ties and possibly limit its scope
through pressure on licensed middle
men. New Workers. put serious
value on their amusements. They
are entitled to fairer play in the dis
tribution OF admission privileges.

Christianity Held to Forbid Any In
demnity From German People

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The war indemnity Of S5s
o00,oo0,000 which has been levied hy
the Allied governments upon Gernany
has thrown direct challenge 70 all
the spirit and principles Of Christian
ity. It is an absolute admission of the
organized forces of the world that they
believe that the principles of Chris
tianity are not worthy of serious con
sideration in the practical details Of
world and business affairs. These
forces have said that if the principle,
OF Jesus are TO be regarded with
thought at all they can be so re-
garded only in secluded cloisters apart
from all affairs of practical living
Christianity must meet this chaIIange
or die. If it cannot meet it, it should die
The placing of an indemnity upon
the German people is absolutely con-
trary to the principles and teaching o.
Christianity because:
l. 1t is the taking of vengeance
Whatever might be said as to the man,
ner or extent to which Jesus resisted
evil, it can never be said that he taught
or practiced in the slightest degree
the wreaking of vengeance upon ones
foes. Instead, his positive principle
was the opposite-that Iimitless mercy
should be shown, that ones foes should
be utterly forgiven even more than
1txJ Til
by good in the world, but in no place
did Jesus teach that we have any
right to wreak vengeance, or TO hope
that evil may come, or help to bring
evil to come, upon those whose evil
designs have been stopped. Instead It
is our duty 20 show utter mercy and
forgiveness to the furthest need.
2. The plan proposed for securing
the indemnity takes the immoral course
OF condemning to punishment the
present generation Of German children
who had no part nor share in any
crime which their fathers committed
10 do this is TO foster spirit of hatred
In the lives of these children which
VIII bear the fruit Of war when they
become of age, To Jesus it was crirni-
nal to harm the life of child. But
far blacker than this is the unspeak
able crime of extending punishment
ana wreaking the spite Of selfish ven
geance upon generation of unborn
children, whom the term OF years Will
include. Does any one doubt the atti-
tude Of the Great Lover of Children
toward this fiendish device7
3. 1t is the placing of nstion Of
men and women and their children in
economic slavery. Far wiser men than
the writer must speak on the problem
Of whether it is economically impos-
slble for the Germans to pay this In
demnity while we throttle their exports
with tax. But by the levying of the
Indemnity we automatically place 3
race of people in servitude to US, while
Tor two generations we take the result
OF their labor. The teachings Of Jesus
OF Nazareth challenge the right of any
man or nation TO use another human
life for selfish gain.
Because the principles of Jesus teach
that the children of God must forgive
and love their enemies. must bless
them that curse them, must do good 70
them that hate them, then Christian
must protest with all his mind and
body and soul against the levying Of sa
indemnity upon the German people.

The Currar, Plar,

IN MS lnCeiilgenC anu hlgh-mlnued
discussion of the transit problem at
the Town Hall, in a speech all citi-
zens of New York might we'll take
the trouble to read and reflect on,
Mr.. Curran, President of the Bor-
ough of Manhattan, brought for
ward constructive proposal to ma
ture the recommendation made by
Governor Miller. Said Mr.. Curran:
"Create new Public Service Com
mission which will get the facts and
recommend the remedies, bat whose
recommendations as TO temporary
or permanent increase of fare or
changes in contracts must be ap-
proved by the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment before they can be-
come effective"
This proposal is directed to saving
the good there is in a state control
which the state is not likely to sur
render and the good there is in a
municipal home rule which the city
is not likely to give up except after a
prolonged struggle which would dis
rupt the politics Of the state and
during the continuance of which a
transit settlement would be practi-
cally impossible.
Nothing in the Governors mes
sage negatives the adoption of this
plan. 1t is true that in his message
the Governor stressed the point of
the states authority. But as to
this he was discussing matter of
law rather than of policy. The Gov
ernor's enlarged mind, taking into
it's expanded vision the rights of the
city as protected by the subway con-
tracts and by the equities flowing
from the investment of 100000, 900
of the city's money, champions no
tearing up Of contracts unless the
city receives good value in return.
He recognizes that the Interborough
company cannot have things both
ways-cannot expect it's full rights
under the contracts while escaping
their correlative responsibilities.
That the Governors viewpoint has
been grossly misrepresented suffi-
GENTLY appears from an elucidatory
statement made by him since the
transmission of his message. Asked
whether the commission he had in
thought should have power to abro-
gate the subway contracts, irrespec-
tive of whether the city had an
equivalent right, he replied: "Of
course not"
Besides Mr.. Curran's plan for q
city veto other plans can be mag
med that would protect the city and
at the same time recognize the
states responsibility. In 1894 a
similar issue was compromised by
naming in the bill commissioners in
whom the city had confidence. It is
possible to have a commission that
in part shall consist of city officers
and in part of the Governors ap-
pointees, the two elements being
merged in the controlling body.
Other plans will doubtless be brought
forward. AS to all of them and
other helpful suggestions there
should be an open mind.
New York should develop con-
structive program one that is
neither the Hylan idea of making the
transit issue a political football,
with nothing done, nor che seeming
Nixon idea of ascertaining what the
factions want and then giving it to
them. AS the Governor himself en-
phatically declares, the sole consid-
Grafton should be the public's in

 Picking cotton, digging potatoes and gathering corn are the order of the day around here.
 All of the ghosts, spooks, goblins and witches are invited to be hiding around in all of the hooks and comes the 29th of October, as there will be Halloween party at Tates' Mill schoolhouse. Everybody else also is invited to attend There will be plen- ty of fun for everybody and we will assure you an enjoyable time.
 The ladies of the s. I. A. met at the school house and embroidered on the silk quilt. They are making rapid progress. Anyone may have his name embroidered on 1t for ten cents, which will go to the benefit of the school.
 They have employed Mr. Freeman of Austin as principal. Now let ev- erybody put their shoulders to the wheel and push and make it the best school ever. Some seem to think that we may hire teacher and place him in the school room and not have to go back until the end of the term. But a teacher is put there to instruct the pupils. And it will encourage him in his work and help him over the miry and burdensome places of school life if they will only make him an occasional visit or two, and show an interest in the school.
 The children of the coming gen. ration without an education will be looked upon and also there will be as much difference between them as there is between penny and a dollar at the present time.
 Mrs. Ada Dorsey and children spent Sunday at the Dorsey home.
 Mir. and Mrs. Martin Hammons and sons, Ira and Carl, spent a night with their brother, Lee Dorsey.
