DAYLIGHT SAVING: — Just now Decatur folks arc discussing the advantages and disadvantages of "Daylight Saving" time. It should be remembered that uusually such action results in a mix-up often inconvenient. Unless the new time is adopted over a wide territory and included in railroad schedules, it becomes a nuisance frequently. We can see how many people prefer starting to work an hour earlier and stopping an hour sooner, but it seems this might be arranged in a manner which would not cause so much confusion. The plan was tried here and elsewhere several years ago and after a several months period failed to meet with unanimous approval. Under the caption "Let’s Stop Playing With The Clock," the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette at that time said editorially: “Now that the council has repealed the ordinance providing for eastern time for Fort Wayne, the return to the central time being set tor midnight Sunday, it is to be hoped that there will be no disposition to again enact the ordinance in the spring unless all the surrounding country acts accordingly. The failure of all our neighboring cities to change Io eastern time has resulted in infinite confusion to visitors to Fort ii Wayne, and given residents here have been confused by the action of some traction companies in acting on central and others on eastern time. We were at first inclined to the opinion that the idea was a good one. Experience has changed that view. If tho idea is to “save daylight" it would seem just as sensible to begin work an hour earlier and stop an hour earlier. Why not open the stores at 7 o'clock instead of 8 and dose at 5 o’clock instead of 6. That is precisely what we have been doing—only we have been trying to deceive ourselves in the matter. After all it is a bad business proposition to play with the clock.” We call your attention to these facts that you may consider also the serious side of the proposition which is a general upset of the regular system of things and as stated a nuisance unless adopted and accepted by every one. Thousands of republicans would like to see a new leader enter the race for the senate chair now held by Janies E. Watson and tlic democrats arc seeking a candidate of experience and ability to enter the race. Each parly finds it a difficult job because of th c heavy burden thrown upon the candidate by the primary law. The organization must be built around the candidate and this makes his position a very trying and expensive one. This necessarily makes many of those who would make ideal candidates shun the responsibility. Its a serious situation and one that should make every good citizen think -about how such u condition can be corrected in the future. It is not surprising that tho investigating committee from the department of justice at Washington has given Andrew Mt4Jon and ills aluminum trust a clean bill. Andy is too smooth to permit any thing - else, in fact the idea of having tho investigation come from a department so close to his own probably origiuat'ed in bis own office but the announcement will not change the minds of Hie people of the country to a very great extent. A lot of them w ill continue *

j to believe that prices are fixed In 1 violation of law, competitors are hindered, that shipments are some times delayed and that other things occur which should not. Thomas Clark, dean ot the University ot Illinois has figured it out > just about to our notion —the modern youth is not as naughty as some of them want us to believe. The truth is the average youth "is most desper. ately afraid of not being thought wise, not appearing sophisticated." Thats it and the strange thing is that it even becomes contagious for the older folks who copy the youngster* in dress, style and in bragging of escapades, usually not as serious as they seem when you hear them. Johnny D. Jr., a son of the old John I). Rockerfeller, has offered ten million dollars to establish a museum in Cairo. Egypt, as a treasure house for relics recovered from the tomb of the ancients. Thats fine for those over there and for the idle rich who have sufficient funds with which to drop off for a day or two on their wanderings, but it won't do most of us very much good. The basketball games furnished all the thrills anticipated last evening and the crowds were large. The contests at this season of the year are exciting and interesting and during th, next month will provide clean and delightful entertainment for millions of people throughout the middle west where this game is most popular. The directors of thc Adams County Agricultural Association arc getting ready to make a campaign which will give every one an opportunity to aid in boosting this enterprise which can be made the‘greatest ever put on in the county and with thc right spirit back of it, will be.
