FARMERS WIN AS PRESIDENT LOSES

REPUBLICAN CONGRESS OVERRIDES VETO OF LIGHT REPEAL LAW. Believing that the monstrosity, the daylight saving law, is unnecessary and another of the foolish whims of President Wilson in his abnormal attempt to cater to the city laborer in preference to the farmer and all other people of the nation, the republican congress has overridden the president’s double veto and both the national house of representatives and senate 'have passed the repeal law by a two-thirds vote which was necessary to overcome the executive’s veto. The vote in the house stood 223 to 101 and in the senate 57 to 19., After October 27 the natural laws of the physical world will govern the time and another idiotic notion of an egotist will be relegated to the scrap pile, where still others should be consigned with haste and completeness. No other one act of unnecessary legislation has ever quite so obnoxious to the farmers as this attempt to improve upon the plan of the Almighty.
