It is generally admitted that the repeal of the daylight saving law was done through the influence of the fawning sections. They represented that conditions in the early morning were not always favorable fur farm work and that the curtailment of the afternoon was against them There is a suggestion that many localities and especially n' number of the cities will continue the hour ahead plan jiext year hy local ordinances and common agreement. That is the rational way out of it. There should he no strings on anybody who wants to he up wilh the lark. A good many people of the old-fashioned sort believed llint this clock regulation business was all foolishness from the beginning. They are the ones who rise with the sun as the chickens do in all seasons and they -look on this .watching the hands of the dial as a piece of child's pla and has no proper place in the customs and habits of P'own people of mature age and sound and disposing minds. The farming industry is entirely different from that of any other productive effort. The farmer wants all the work hours he can get. lines want as few hours of 1he congressional restrictions workers feci that they have been freed from a handicap; the other workers are also doing quite well in the opposite direction. RATIONING BASIS FOR COAL. It is announced that the coal dealers in Seattle favor n plan for return to the war-time methods of rationing coal to consumers. This action is taken as measure of precaution against the impending strike of mind's which, it is said, will leave the country with a. supply of coal suf ficient for only thirty days. At (lit! eml! of that period winter will only have just begun in the northern latitudes, and it. appears to be only the part of caution to make the supply on hand cover the needs as far as it will. Ton Hcgucntly, coal will be dealt, out sparingly. It is even declared that the coal situation is critical even if there is no strike, as the output will be below normal even under. the best, that can be done in the way of an output and it comes at the season of the year when the demand is far ahead of the day-to-day supply. Tn our own section of the country there is a beUer chalice to miss the hardships because of the use of wood as a fuel supply, but even wood is hard to get in the middle of the winter season. It appeal's, after all, Hint the advice so widely spread early in the year in the admonition, "get your coal bin filled now," should have been heeded. In the localities where coal is the onlv fuel, the dealers are swamped with orders, which under the rationing plan will give the tardy ones no favoritism! over those who, either from custom or necessity, buy but small quantities at a time. M WORDS AS WELL AS DEEDS LIVE ON. .'AH controversy about, the disputed question set aside, tiere is olie. way, undoubtedly,1 in which the dead do com municate with the living; ;' . ..'' 1 A great, man oft-times makes, for an immediate need or occasion, some pronouncement which, alter the occasion .which called it forth, is temporarily laid aside and for gotten. Long after his death this ninv come to light. iSuch is chance, or fate, or justice, that it comesi nt the moment when it is most needed. And because it is founded on rock principles of life and development, it meets the new occasion even more fittingly than it did the old. The words of Lincoln, 'Washington, Franklin, .iH'.l'crsoir Lave often so spoken down the years, holding the Ameri can people to their ideals. The words also of Theodore Roosevelt, spoken in his prime, cry aloud to Americans of the diities of citizenship in this troublous period. At a time when the world i restless, ill at ease, squandering its precious treasures ot time and power a perverse generation seeking for a sign how clear a call comes from a bit of advice given bv Ivoiisevclt to his Kough Hiders: "Get into net ion.

' ' , ', '. ' . I wiitson of Indiana made definite and: sensational charges concerning the 'intrenchmenU of reds and radicals' in government departmentr. Suiatoi Watson made no vague and general charge but gave names and dates. Outspoken "anarchists, men who march in "red' parades, pro-Oermans and loud-spoken supporters of Russian Holshevi-m were listed by the Indiam: senator as being employes of the gov- eminent. Stuart Chase, Irw in St. John Tucker, Victor B.-rger, Samuel, Tutor, Raphael Millet, A. S. Kravit ! ohaun ;. Ohsol and M.irtin I..

If the charge made by the Indiana senator concern ing the activities of these men can be substantiated,' not only "big business" but all the American people will have a right to demand that their connec tion with the government be severed at once. Red Cross Has Never Failed in Work. In the report made to the American people by the war couvcil of the Amer ican Red Cross it i.i recorded that on Mry 1, I!I17, there were 5i!2 Red Cross chapters in this country, with IHIi.otKi adult members. At th" end of the war the number of chaplers had increased li 11721 anil these chapters hr.d 17.1S0 branches. 'I lie membership btad in creased to practically :l 1 ,000,00, ol whom 20,II0I),0I0 were ndults and 11, 000,000 were junior members. Today practically every square mile in the continental Limed States is covered by some form of Red Cross chaptei' organization, and in addition there are bl chapters in foreign coun 'ries and in insular possessions. 'Hie magnifieient record made by the Am-i rican people in r.uppott of the Red Cross drives for funds is well known, 't is not so generally known, however, that foreign countries also contributed largely to the Ii"d Cross war drives.

Explaining the Present La bor Situation.

An article by Ruth Miller in a recent ! Saturday Evening Tost expounds with j singular clearness the American muic situation. The writer states truths about music training, composition, tiiiditions which would have found few believers before the war. 1 here were two camps in those days. One consisted of those who believed that America could, and was beginning to express nerself in music her vigor- ous idealism, the shriek of nervous tension which comes with the rapid development of industrial machinery. and the fine love of beauty which un- derlies all the ugliness as flower seeds underlie the soil. The other camp believed that Ger many and music were synonymous. To think music could grow in America was preposterous. America was in dustrial anil in a hurry, anil only in the artistic Teutonic c.ilm could music worth the name be born. Since the war, and the awakening it brought as to the German national mind, every one is shouting loudly about the music of America. And there have grown up two other camps. One of them believes everything pro duced on American soil is American music, and in Miss Miller's words, is "giving us in the name of a genuine American article Teutonic music re hashed." The listener hear 'the braggadocio, the mawkishncss, the in nate sensuality masking under blatant sentimentality that characterize Ger man music." The other camp i.; of those who un derstand that "we have a small but lusty band of music writers who have the coinage to put into their music some of the optimistic vitality, the dominating forceful character of ourj own people," t Miss Miller says, and lightly, that our music should be tcsled by our spir. i it. Poes it contain "c.r.y plain-apol:en, blunt Americanism? Any of that out rageously audacious humor of ours i that flares to laugh at the world ami aii it cum a ins meowing ourselves : Any of that impetuous eagerness, that impulsive little rush with which every , American goes after life 1 Any of the delicious chni:u-teristic impudence jiuiy of the bigness of our people?" Mu.uc lacking this is not American. Hot Llinclies for Schools Are Popular, Ih h i.-n tor hi-ut i hildiL-n i- KiowniK ui popularity. Where it i 4iO.tioO.00 nut a definite measure of the whole 112.

Kven a oal strike, with all the bit tef consequences likely to follow it, Avould be sanctioned by public opinion if it were known to bthe last resort of men buffering from grievous' wrongs. T!e coal miners,. however.'have de clared for a strike practically as a first resort. More than that, they have done it in a questionable cause. The demands they presented to the operators were obviously impossible of acceptance. Their terms would have meant ruin of the coal industry, unfair advantage over other labor groups and a heavy burden added to an already overburdened public. They could hardly have expected anything but refusal of the operators to grant a reduction of the working time to at hours a week and along with it a 0 per cent wage increase. Yet the only alternative they offered was a general strike on November 1. That decision was taken without con sulting the government or the public. It has been adhered to in the negotia tions opened up with the federal gov ernment at the instance of the secre tary of labor. The miners' spokesman so far have stood pat for a strike on November 1 unless their demands have been met in full by that date. This is plain Prussianism. It is nre- cisely the way the German autocracy acted in July, 11114. Prussianism had its bloody, brutal day and look at it now. Do the coal mine kaisers, Hindenburgs and Tir- pitzes want history to repeat itself? Welfare Plans for Employes Are Profitable. A powerful concern employing sev eral thoufliiml people has worked out its welfare plans to tho point that whenever a day which started pleas antly turns out stormy, an umbrella is put beside the desk of each employe just before quitting time. 4The corporation figures that the umbrella didn't cost much," says an article in the Saturday Evening Post, "and believes the investment is made up n hundredfold by the protection furnished to the workers. A few poo- I pie absent with bnd colds that might ,have been prevented will cost more than the interest on a very large in vestment in umbrellas. It might be added that the company safeguards its umbrella supply by charging ten cents a day if the umbrella is not promptly returned." That colds cost money is a fact which health officials have been trying to teach the careless for a long time. Hut too many people are still disposed to regard them us accidents or visita tions of Providence, troublesome, but unavoidable, and only to be expected as an excuse for a certain number of days per year off the job. Most colds are absolutely preventa ble. They are not caused by rain, but the lowering of vitality resulting from jj thorough soaking gives many a little Kerm opportunity to get in his das- trdlv work. At'a tjmo' wlPn tlle country is suf- ft.rintr from under-production, it be- (,oni(,s the duty t)f eve,.y one to avoi(1 t,e nhsence from work or the lowering of the quality of work done because of the eomm(. cold. And this tikes into no consideration the danger that the cold may develop into something much mote serious. i Carrying an umbrella or keeping dry I:, ,.i UK uttice or eating a sensible luncheon instead of a frilly one may seem borc-onie. Put if they increase production by maintaining health, they are worth while both in comfort and I in money. , '. 1 ;. . j After all, it seems, the chief reason ' wliy there isn't enough sugar for the table and the canning is that people , have been eating it up in the form of ui'.dv and drinking it up at the soda , H fountain.

"Promotion," said the Held marshal, "hua been eutiroly by merit, and the highest appointments were open to the humblest, provided he hud the iiecett sury qualifications of character, kill and knowledge. "Many instances could be quoted of men who, from civil or comparatively humble occupations, have rlavu to ha- ! uortnnt command. I "A schoolmaster, a lawyer, a taxicab driver and an ex-sergeant major have commanded brigades. "Oue editor has commanded a di vision and another held successfully the position of tenlor'staff otlicer to a regular division. ' "The undercook of a Cambridge college, a clerk to the Metropolitan water board, an Insurance clerk, ao architect's assistant and a police In spector became efficient general staff ort iters. A mess sergeant, a railway signal man, a coal miner, a market gardener, an assistant secretary of a haberdash ery company, a quartermaster ser geant and many private soldiers have rUen to command battalions. "Clerks have commanded batteries. "A schoolmaster, a collier, the son of a blacksmith, tin iron molder, an instructor In tailoring, an assistant gas engineer, a grocer's assistant, as well as policemen, clerks and privates have commanded companies and acted as adjutants." These Instances are not strange. They show possession of military In stinct which only required the chance to be displayed. Analyzing farther, of course, It could be abundantly shown that some men, although given high rank, fell down lamentably when opportunity for work offered. While technical education Is essen tial, soldiers are born, not rnnde. It would be Interesting to collate from our own records some of the many Instances of American soldiers who rose from the ranks to commis sions after a brief apprenticeship to the profession of arms.

About, midnight we startod down a little grade on a lonely stretch of road and found at thw bottom that the road was blocked hy two large machines with llceuses from a West ern state. We stopped, o eourse, and expected one machine to pull aside. Instead two men walked back, to our car and looked us over. Then one called : "All right," and the road was cleared. They thought our old model ma chine was probably not worth stealing, but they neglected to search our pock ets, which contained several hundred dollars. Chicago Tribune. Wrest&d Fortune From World. .

Such bollors have been set u of ca pacities up to l.rsJO kilowatt, or 2.0U0 horse-power, tnking electric current of voltages up to 10.000, and offer advan tages where coal Is high and water power cheap, as In certain woodpulp and paper fuctorles of northern Eu rope. Steam Is generated by passage of the electric current through wa ter. Narrow rertlcal lubes of In sulating material contain water, and are connected at top and bottom with the Interior of the boiler. Alternating current Is sent throngh the water col umns, the tubes with three-phase cur rents being connected In group of three. Moving the electrodes la the tubes regulates the current strength. An efficiency of f5 per cent ls claimed and one watt of electric energy ls stated to produce nearly four pounds of steam. Friend Wife Laughed. I was motoring along one ot Out country roads In my trusty little has with friend wife, who was carrying a most unwelcome hit of grouch, when I polled alongside of a large, lazy sedan wilh a man trying to fir It.

"Well, from the way she acts, I should say thnt thirty-nine of the horses were dead." This must have been the funniest of experiences, for my wife actually laughed right out loud. Exchange.
