THE WET FIGHT.

1t is, becoming plain that there is a
good deal of fight left in the vets. Elec-
tions in many places this fall will hang
on the question of whether it is advis-
able to modify the Volstead act.
Behind all the noise made by the pa
irons of bootleggers, behind all the talk
that more drinking is going on than
ever before stand the cold, hard facts
of the benefits the country as a whole
has already experienced because of pro-
hibitiOn. Granted that in some would
be smart circles a great deal of drinking
is still going on, and a great deal of IL
licit trade, it is still true that outside
of these noisy circles less drinking is
being done than ever before, and that
little is decreasing as private stocks
fade away, and as knowledge of poisoned
booze spreads among the people
The health of the country was better
last year than ever before. The period
of depression caused less pauperism and
misery because more people had savings
than ever before. Crime. though preva-
lent enough, is less so than in drinking
countries.
1t is too soon to know whether the
Volstead act is wholly wise provision
or not. An experiment on such an enor-
nous scale as the prohibition experiment
cannot be worked out in less than five
or ten years. Enforcement, one might
say, is just beginning. Public opinion,
uncertain at first, is just beginning TO
rally actively to the support of the law.
If, after the test has been fairly made,
it seems wise to make the further trial
of modifying the Volstead act, that will
be another matter. For the present, it
would seem better to stand pat on the
act as it is, and to assist enforcement of
it as it stands, until the public has
chance to see what it is like when it is
enforced as it was intended to be.

THE SHORTER STEEL DAY.

The forty-one leaders of the steel in
dustry who conferred with President
Harding agreed that the 12-hour day is
undesirable and should be abolished as
soon as possible They have appointed
a committee of FIVE to make a scientific
and careful investigation of the mat
ter. and to report to the industry.
The five or six-hour day dreamed of
by many theorists is undoubtedly too
short for the present state of the world
in most industries, and particularly for
the steel industry But the twelve-hour
day is just as unquestionably too long.
Twelve hours of toll needs to be fol
lowed by long period of sleep, il the
body strength is to be maintained for
anything like a reasonable number of
years But with twelve hours work
and ten hours sleep, and some time to
eat, where comes in the recreation, the
chance for advancement, for life itself
to which every human being is entitled
if the race is to advance?
An eight-hour day not only allows
four hours for these things, but really
more, because it does not produce the
fatigue which units the mind for any
movement or progress after it is over.
1t is probably too much to hope that
an eight-hour day viii follow at once
the twelve-hour period in the steel
works, but if the day moves down to 10
at first, that will be great gain. And
the ten-hour men will find it easier to
move down to nine, and at last to eight,
than the twelve-hour men have found it
to start the shortening of their present
working day. Nor need it be forgotten

Old-Time Parlors.
(Rutland News.l

Do you remember the old-time parlors
of a generation ago?
They were great show places, with
their frail gilded chair, settee uphol-
stored in horse hair, family album, stero-
scope china parlor lamp hand painted
in gorgeous colors, and the footstool
made of six tin cans covered with car
pet.
Over In the corner was the "what-
not - its shelves Uttered with sea shells,
souvenirs from the Philadelphia Centen-
NAL and the Jug covered with an amaz-
ing collection of junk imbedded in
putty.
Awe-stricken children used to peck
into the parlor when mother was out in
her new a paca leaving cards on' the
banker s wife and other social lights.
For one was allowed in the parlor
only on state oecasions-funerals, when
the minister called, when company
came' or when sister entertained the
young sport who drove up in a side bar
buggy. Shades were drawn in the day
time or shutters closed to keep the sun
from fading the Brussels carpet.
Next to the parlor was the sitting
room, center of home life, where Little
Willie read "Rollo in Paris - mother
darned socks and later read 'sGodey s
Lady's Book and father read the
headache news from Washington, close
up to the smoking oil lamp, squirting
his eyes as he peered through "specs. -
We laugh at that atmosphere now.
But it produced some : mighty sub
stantial folks.o
