THE STANDARD TINE BILL

It isn't believed that the bill which has been presented by the agriculture com mtt1ss to the general assembly fixing standard time for every community in he state win bo permitted to go through win no more opposition than 1t received tn the house Such bill should not be railronded and the check which 1t experi- encsd ia the serate will probably result h the consideration that is deserved.
 Tiere are are reasons to believe that A. hrgs proportion of the people of the state are in favor of daylight saving. This has been indicated by the action taken in breviSus years and by the attitude dis Elesed through eforts of the state csans- bs- Q: commerce. Alread= there are . eumbef of Somz1snit5es which have tssrtA hetion governing the coming sumne. and nscidea elmer to have thetr ti1ne conform Do that which 1t has been announced by sns New Haven road would govern their Erains or have done nothing to alter the hctioE of last year which stands until kapeaied.

4 coon MOVE.

Though the number is small, only one going from Connecticut, it cannot help being felt that the move which has been made to take those suffering from lep- rosy, and kept isolated at state expense, to a federal colony which is being main tained in Louisiana is a capital idea. There is something aside from the fact that the isolation feature where only a few are congregated will be relieved for while the afflicted are being taken to a leprosarium under government admins tration there is also the hope of a possi- ble cure or improvement through the chamulgra oil treatment which they will be given there.
 Results which have been obtained fol the relief of those afflicted with leprosy 1 have been most promising particularly 1T ! eases which have not become deep seat; 1 ed. The new treatment at least give. reason for hope where little or none ex isted before and it is desirable that any and ali who have the disease should bt given the opportunity to experience any benefits it may hold in store.
 Heretofore isolated camps have beer maintained at large expense for the car, of such people and the protection of oth CTS. It has been case in the past O doing all that was possible and Tnakin; the patients ss comfortable and contentet as the conditions under which they wer restrained would permit. That of cours had its limits, but with the discovery 0 tie now treatment and the furnishing 0
 evidence of it's accomplishments it is
 move in the right direction when the ef fort is made to assemble all such pa
 tients at T central point where the ad vantages of the treatment, whatever the nay be in the respective cases, may obtained.
 It is work n which the government cal well take leading part and it will possible to deal much better with sue
 cases as the country has in such an in
 stitution as that to which the New Eng iand eases have been taken. Even tn fact that it gives new hope to those wh
 have heretofore understood the hopeless
 ress of their cases means much to peopl so seriously efiiicted.

INCLUDING ALL IN CUT.

While wage cutting may have been un. eertaken with view of having it applv 70 only Q few classes among railroad ad employees, announcements which are being made would indicate that railroad con- dfttons are such that many of the sys- ttms throughout the country are feeling tEe necessity of resorting to that means of getting relief. The change in condi- tions throughout the country prevented the railroads from getting the benefit they fxpected from the increase in freight and passenger rates. That leaves them in a lad situation for the slackening of in- oustrial activity cut transportation and instead of increased operating income the higher rates were followed by a greater number of idle cars. To attempt to es- tablish a still higher schedule of rates would only be suicidal, and hasten the roads to that breaking point from whicl, the interests of the country demand that they should be kept.
 Not little attention has been attracted by the announcement of the Pennsylya. mia road to the effect that after taking all factors into consideration A reduction iu k the w1gs scales is necessary, and it pro. poses to do that not by applying it solely to the unskilled but 10 apply it to all employees af the road commencing with the president and going right down through the list There is much that i: bound to ap'7eal in such a policy. Seven ty per cent. of the operating earning. now go to Nabor and that is a condition which needs to be remedied in spite ot inc reduction ip the number of employe. since the road has been back under pri vate operation.
 Tackiing the situation in a manner like that presenting the facts and figures ts Eubstzntiate it and it can hardly be be lieved that it will not be accepted in s reasonable manner by those concerned This is apparently what is moving othel roads to take similar action. If of cours, One roads and its employees cannot reacl an agreement there can be an appeal t, The railway labor board for a fixing O the wage scale under existing conditions 1t Is preferable that an agreement em ployer and employees should be reache fl possible and that course whic; most of the roads are following in en 6eaporing to meet conditions by the cut ting of wages.

AS neither hears well. their brief forms of greeting have become stereotyp- ed but the other day something slipped and this is what was heard:
 "Morning. Mir. Jones-ntce weather were having" said the one oblivious os the fact that 1t was pouring rain., 'rNo, Mrs. Smith ain't doing so well lately.

 Congress voted thanks to Capt. Pike and he soon rose to be brigadier gem eral. After his return from Mexico. Gen ral Dearborn. the secretary of war. wrote to him: "T can with pleasure inform you that, although the two expeditions you have performed were not previously ordered by the president of the United States. yet your conduct in each oh these expeditions met the appreciation of the president"
 Soon after his return to the Unit%d States Pike wrote an extended account of these expeditions, which was published ia 1S1o. The book attracted much atten- ton because of the adventures that 1t recorded, and because it gave an account of Mexico concerning which little had been heard since it's conquest by Cortez.
 A few weeks after Pike was honored by congress he was killed in the capture of York. Canada, which is now Toronto. The battle was won with Gen. Pike in com
 uand and as he waited for the white flag a magazine exploded and the General fell. There was just time to hand to him the flag of the enemy. With a brave smile he laid his head upon 1t and his spirit fled. The country owes him a debt of appreciation for his heroic work in making known vast territory in our possession.

THE PALMER RUIrNo.

With breweries getting ready to open up and do business on the strength of the eleventh hour decision of the former at torney general, A. Mitchell Palmer. who the day before leaving office issued a rul- ing to the effect that doctor could pre- scribe beer and wine as medicine much attention is bound to be directed to the effects of that opinion.
 It doesn't appear that there is any limit to the amount that may be pre- seribed although it does put the responsi- bility for the business in beer and wines upon the doctors. Where it is possible for that to reach can be inferred from the number of prescriptions which are now being written for liquor for sick people on which limit is placed by the law. It is case where the ruling would apparently hold the doctor responsible for conditions that might result as to traffic in beer
 Efforts have been underway for a long time for an amendment to the volstead act which would permit the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines. The Palmer ruling may be regarded as a step. ping stone to that although of course fl does not go as far, and only maintains that permits must be issued to manufac, ture beer and wine for medicinal pur. poses and placing the distribution to the consumer in the hands of the doctors That it will make much more difficult the task of enforcing the Volstead act is plainly disclosed, and coming at a timt when that enforcement is being circum ! vente.l right and left the country is na l turally concerned over what the result i. going to be.
 Not little interest will center Oh how the new attorney general will regard th' ruling. whether he will take the samt view and whether he will accept or re pudiate the act of MT. Palmer just befor,
 he closed the door of his term of office
 The situation Is of course one that awak
 ems the interest of many more than tn
 brewers, the doctors and those who ar sick.
