The farmer constituents of Conn- ecticut, as in most communities, op- pose daylight saving. There are many bad features of daylight sav- ing, chief of which is that it is very confusing to the general public in big cities where commuting is done and where railroads run on one time schedule while the rest of the community runs on another. But the factory worker, and the man| who slaves at a desk like it in the main. Of course, the farmer cares not two whoops what the factory ‘worker likes, any more than the fac- tory worker cares two whoops what the farmer likes. Whoever likes it. and whoever does not, the attitude of the Conn- ecticut House in even considering such a bill, let alone passing it, is indicative of the strides we have made in the wrong direction. It is only a step from such political tyranny to a complete degeneration | of the powers of government into a series of little bureaucracies each| more autocratic and intolerant than} the soviet cheka; and each more de. testable. “Freedom to worship God” is still left us, but how long that will last in the face of the attacks of fa-| natics is beginning to be a question. | Llberty to do that which our fath- ers, grandfathers and great-great- grandfathers considered no crime is rapidly being replaced by liberty to do what a lobbying minority, or in some cases a majority, is doing. Simply that and nothing more. The logical result of jailing a man for setting his watch an hour slow or| fast, is to send him to prison for! using a leaky fountain pen, put him | m the stocks for wearing low shoes in winter, and give him public lash-| ings for permitting his thermometer | to register more than 99 degrees or| Jess than zero. | We look back with something of | horror on our Puritan ancestors who burned a witch at a stake in Sa- lem, Mass.. in the name of religion. | But why should we? ance today so much theirs?

Some of those who were not opposed to prihi when it went over, are now point ing out the grevious error of prohi- (eiee ways most strongly. The pa- pers that oppose prohibition now. in |ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, have no axe to gring. They are not as Mr. Anderson has sometimes inti mated, in he pay of the brewing in- terests or the liquor ring. Their in- jterest in the matter is not, as is Mr. |Anderson’s, either personal or mon-| letary. They are hammering the law because most thinking persons real- jize that it must be amended before jthe whole structure of law and or-| jder in this country is turned into a} |farce. | It has been pointed out in these! columns before that the Solid] |South, whose co-operation put over | ‘prohibition, and whose united front lis needed to keep it on the books, has for long years ignored two amendments than there was in 1880. the Fourteenth and Fifteenh. By common consent it has come to be| accepted in that part of the coun-| try that each state shall handle the negro question as it deems best. \'There is no more chance now of en- forcing those two constitutional amendments han there was in 1880. Ths sentiment of the community is ‘against them, and only the use of the Army and Navy could possibly insure their observance. The Army and Navy will never be used for enforcing the Four- teenth and Fifteenth Amendments again. The army was so used just after the Civil War. But it didn’t “take.” It was too expensive, too foolish, too brimming with trouble- making possibilities. And there is little reason to believe that if the navy is used today to hunt rum- runners off the Atlanticecoast, that the move will be anyhing but temp- orary. For a short time rum-running rade. Then the navy will be called off, and the rum run- ning will again become our most popular sort. Fifty years hence, {f prohibitiof should last that long under its pres- ent guise, which is very doubtful, some other moralists with inferior- ity complexes will get together, form an active and monied minor- ity, and lobby over a bill distaste- ful to many very populous sections of the United States. Then those the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments have been,dead letters for a century in the South, and that the Eighteenth amendment has been a deader letter in the East, North, South and Pacific Coast for about fifty years. About that time Congress, the Human Glacier, will move a few inches, to prove it is progressing. The name of the astute gentle- man who said, “Constitution? What is the constitution among friends?” escapes us.

D. Carey as his victim a bandit Tuesday night held up the driver of the Carey car at Carey station on the Burlington. Charles Carey of Chey- enne had been visiting at the Carey- hurst ranch and a young employe had driven him to Carey station. After Mr. Carey had entered the train a man stepped up to the driver of the auto and asked him where R. D. Carey was. The driver tdi6 him that R. D, Carey had taken the train. The fellow pulled a gun and told the driver to give up what money he had and when told that the had none de- clared himself from Missouri and in stituted a search. The search yiclde< him $20, The bandit then made the young man drive him to the high- way, where he stopped the car, took off the Cistributor to prevent its use and beat it down the highway. The driver went to the Careyhurst ranch nearby and secured another car and assistance and tried to locate the rob- ber, but without avail. Sheriff Pey- it will] ton was notified and went tmmedi- break up a large percentage of the| y to Careyhurst. He trailed the about half a mile, but travel over the highway had obliter- ated the tracks any further. R. D. Carey was at Casper at the time.
