' Whatever may "be the result of President Harding’s effort tosbring about abolition of the twelve-hour day in steel mills, there can be nothing but praise for either the motive or the method. Inviting the leaders of the industry to the White House for din- ner and an informal discussion of this serious industrial problem wasa happy thought, and is much more likely to bring about accomplishment of the de- sired reform than any attempt at coercion or the application of force. That there are many difficulties in the way of shortening steel mill hours was made plain in the frank discus- sion. To begin with, a great many of the twelve-hour workers prefer the long hours and the high pay which go with them. They are mostly foreign- ers who are in this country to make & “stake” as quickly as possible, and the desire for early return to their na- tive lands overshadows the desire for more home life in America. But a more serfous difficulty 1s that the operation of a steel mill must be con- tinuous, and there is no way to com- promise -the difference between two shifts of twelve hours each and three shifts of eight hours. The mills have difficulty now in getting men enough ¢ do the rough, hard labor of the un- skilled workers, and to find a third more men who would be willing to work at a daily wage reduced by 50 per cent might be impossible. The steel men were practically a unit in agreeing with the President that the reform he urged Is desirable, and have pledged themselves to an earnest effort to bring it about. That, perhaps, is as much as could be ex- pected to result directly from a pre- liminary conference, but much more will result indirectly. Public attention now will be centered on this industrial wrong as it never has been centered before, and the steel mill owners will find themselves spurred on by a grow- ing volume of public sentiment. This 13 a use of the presidential office which is coming more and more to be recognized as contalning vast possibili- ties for good, and it may accomplish many things which statute laws find it impossible to achfev Senator Pepper. There is reason for rejoicing in.the nomination of Mr. Pepper. He is the sort of man a great state should have in the Senate of the United States. In the two Camerons, father and son, in Mr. Quay and in Mr. Penrose, Pennsylvania enjoyed in the Senate the services of master politicians— skilled maneuverers and industrious committeemen, addressing themselves largely to local interests. They seldom appeared in debate. On what in the Senate are called fleld days—days de- voted to the discussion of questions of national or international moment— they were non-existent. They never, took the floor—never contributed to the solution of such questions. Mr. Knox broke the tradition. On such occasions he had something to say, and always said it with com- manding ability. Ranking with the leading lawyers and students of gov- ernment in the Senate, he was always expected to add to the sum of knowl- edge on fleld days, and he never dis- appointed expectation. Mr. Pepper in his short service in the Senate has shown himself to be of ‘the Knox sort. He, too, is a profound lawyer and student of government, and national and international ques- tions interest him. through him retains the placé in the Senate established by Mr. Knox, and will continue to have her innings there while he continues in her com- | mission. He has exhibited a liking| for the chamber, and the chamber a liking for him. }1ast Congress.

There is no mischief to the health in straight-out “daylight-saving,” ef- fected by a change of the clock hands. Personal routine is regulated as usual, the accustomed number of hours of sleep are had, the balance between ‘work, pleasure anderest is preserved. But when the'day is lengthened by starting work an hour earlier and the clocks are not changed there is dan- ger of loss of sleep and the health suffers. Take the case of the man or wom- an who works and in the evening goes to a pley or to some social entertain- ment. The theaters have not changed their hours. Nor are evening assem- blles, receptions, balls and other di- versions advanced. The curtains at the playhouses rise at 8:20. The formal digner starts at 7:30 or 8. The recep- Uon or ball begins .at 9. Nothing is Pennsylvania | ner find it dificult to edjust to the new ‘schedule. Perhape friends come in to “spend the evening.” The gath- ering does not break up before 10 or 10:30. The host cannot arise and point to the clock and remind the guestg |tbm. “daylight-saving” compels earlier | before the front door is closed upon the departing ones. Seven hours of sleep may be obtained. A Children who get their proper al- lowance of sleep under the present schedule of school time must retire at 9 by the clock, at the latest. If the dinner hour has been advanced to 5, - | instead of 6, the “home work” can be done and_some time had for a little recreation before bedtime. Otherwise not. No child should be put at lessons before dinner. There must be some play time after school. And it is ques- tionable policy to send a child to bed immediately after closing tlre school books. Sound, refréshing sleep is not to be had when the brain is fagged with study. There is a simple remedy for these conditions which are menacing to the health of both elders and youngsters. That is to change the hands of the clock, so long as the “daylight-saving” schedule prevails. They should be changed as quickly as possible, by act of Congress if that can be obtained, or by Commissioners’ or President’s man- date. The President’s Prerogative. In his address last night before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Secretary Hughes made very pointed reference to the proposal now before the Senate that this govern- ment should extend formal recognition to the soviet government of Russia. There is nothing in the Constitution to debar the Senate from passing a resolution expressing belief that the soviet should be recognized, nor is there anything in the Constitution which would require the President to pay heed to such a resolution. And Mr. Hughes’ tempered and carefully chosen words are a plain notification that the executive does not intend to submit to coercion in the matter of foreign Intercourse. Much has been heard during recent vears of executive encroachment upon the prerogatives of Congress, and members of Congress have shown just resentment when efforts at such encroachment have been apparent. | The present executive has been very scrupulous in refragining from at- tempts to impose his will upon the law-making body, and he has shown on previous occasions that he does not intend to vield to Cohgress fre- sponsibilities which distinctly belong to the executive. The ideal working out of the Ameri- can scheme of government ls that the three co-ordinate branches should keep each within its own sphere, and that apparently is the way Mr. Hard- ing intends it shall work out so long as he is at the head of the executive department. The soviet government will be recognized if and when the President and his Secretary of State think such recognition will be to the best intérests of America and the jworld, and any attempt-in the Senate or elsewhere to force their hand can only result in harm through the rais- {ing of unwarranted hopes and expecta- i tions and by making it more difficult for this government to exercise its influence in a beneficial way. The Senate’s Vacant Chairs. The complaint about the small at- tendance of senatofs on the tariff de- bate is justified. It is beggarly. Va- cant chairs are much in evidence on both sides of the chamber. Let it be admitted that the subject i is dry; that only expert knowledge can {invest it with strong interest; that { there are no tariff experts in the Sen- ate. It s yet true that the subject is very important; that the Senate has it tin hand and must dispose of it, and | that the sooner the final vote is called the better. . The democrats are accused of play- ing politics; of delaying matters as much as possible, with the intention of making as short as possible the time between the enactment of the {legislation and election day, in the {nope of securing a verdict on the partisan squabble on Capitol Hill. ‘Well, that is the rule when the tariff is under revision. -Both parties have played the game. The democrats played it against -the McKinley re- vision and won, the republicans against the Gorman-Wilson revision jand won. The Fordney measure was begun be- fore the present Congress came into existence. That is to say, some of the material used in its preparation was gathered in the closing days of the still on the stocks—still incomplete—is a reflection, therefore, on the repub- Ilican management.

A policeman passing at the time told him to pick it up, and when the peddler refused summoned him to court for viclating a city - ordinance. He turned away and had gone but a few steps when the. peddlier shot him dead. In the attack on his victim and in the subsequent pursuit and capture, in which he wounded another police- man, the peddier emptied three revol. vers. Here u-mm.g-luma “easy- pistol” evil.

" We have a law here in Washington which ‘supposedly .prevents promiscu- ous nhtol‘ carrying.- It prohibits *‘cof- cealed weapons.” It is about as good for the prevention of crimo as @& statute anthorizing any householder to cite for a nuisance any aviator who flies ovér his premises without per- mission. v 3 The “concealed” pistol 1s not: de- tectible, unless the carrier of it is ar- rested for some other offense.

Anybody with a few doll: who can mumble to the dealer any. sort of name and address! Every now and then a policeman is shot down here in Washington, in the course of the discharge of his duty. The District has lost 2 number of men in this way, not to mention the homi- #des in what may be called “private life,” due to promiscuous perso.al armament. The remedy has been ofton proposed, a law that prohibits, unde: change of pistols -save upon the pres- entation of permits issued by com- pétent municipal authority. That is& simple remedy often urged but never provided. How many more crimes are requisite to bring about this measure of public protection? ———— Drama and Strong Language. by having some one cite e popular of its suppression es something im- proper or immoral. It always jars the big town to have anybody suggest that it is feeding upon raw meat. Yet it does consume & great quantity of such dramatic pabulum. The latest case arises through a request by a magistrate for the manuscript of«a play that has been running for some time. Somebody has told him, it ap- pears, that the language in it is “im- pure, obscene and indecent.” The play deals with & rough phase of life, one of the scenes depicting the stokehold of an ocean liner, and the dialogue con- sists of the language of the stokers. Everybody understands that the speech of the stokehold is not parlor talk. But no playwright would ever venture to use dictagraph records of it in his dramatic writing. In this play dramatic values have doubtless been preserved. There is nothing particularly dra- matic about strong language in itself. A dramatist knows that repression is as necessary as expression. Now the question arises whether a city magis- trate is to be the final judge of the good taste and propriety of this or any other stage production. Or is the public_a better judge? If censorship is to be exercised upon play profanity there is plenty of work to be done on some of the classics. An unexpurgated Shakespeare would not get by a purist censor. After all, this matter of dramatic propriety can be safely left on the ‘whole to public judgment. Some stage shows have run for many months in New York that grossly shocked large numbers of people and were never challenged. Much depends upon . the form of the’entertainment. If it is a musical affair seemingly anything goes in point of costume—or lack of it—situation or allusion. But let the play be serious in straight dramatic iform and it is quickly challenged. In this particular case in point no harm will be done by judicial examination of the text. If in the mind of the | court the stokehold talk is too raw surely the English language is suf- { ficiently flexible to permit paraphrases that do not lessen the dramatic values. ——— i Mars is again approaching the earth; an approximation of as near as :40.000,000 miles being regarded as an iintimate visit.

The highway sys- tem of the country is.in Iine for a great boom this summer, and motor tourists will find their paths smoothed out to many places they might mot otherwise have been able to reach. Many sections of the country have bben isolated for years—isolated from the viewpoint of allowing free com. munication except by long and tedi ous journeys. The automobile is do- ing much for the promotion of good roads, and the two are bringing the people together in closer understand- ing and a broader democracy. o it is but fair that the federal government should aid the states in the construction of these highways, for they are for the benefit of all the people, and there is a constant in- crease of interstate traveling by auto- mobile. * ok ok K There has been & largely increased demand from the Department of Agfl- culture this spring for road-buflding cquipment which was bought for overseas service and for building highways to and in the big encamp- ments here.

The supply con- sists of motor trucks; big, heavy trucks, built to stand the ravages of hard service in the fleld; concrete mixers, steam shovels, scoops, road scrapers, picks, axes, shovels, grad- ers of all kinds, etc. * ® ok % Of course, there was much opposi- tion to this distribution from inter- ested people, who threw every ob- struction in the way of this method of dlsposing of the equipment. Thege was an Insiduous propaganda started by some junk dealers to defeat the purposes of the act. They had their eyes on this great bulk of equipment. They wanted it to stay in the storage yards until the time came when they could buy it for a few dollars and at a great loss to the American tax- payers and then make millions by disposing of it themselves. Their purpose defeated by the federal gov- ernment, they turned their attention to the states. Unfortunately, some Federal Budget System Char- acterized as Success. The publication of the report of what Gen. Charles Dawes has accom- plished In initiating the federal bud- get system has been well received by the editorial opinion of the coun- try. There are few exceptions in the chorus of pralse for the work, so far as it has gone, although certain edi- tors are in no way backward in df- recting attention to the deficit threat- ening for the coming fiscal year. There is agreement, however, that the budget system has been well worth trying and #t is pointed out that, the executive departments hav- ing led the way, Congress must fol- low their example. The very fact that he cited specific faets and figures was an indication that Gen. Dawes knew what he was ican (republican), points out, assert- ing that he “has not only shown that his savings really are savings, but he has shown that the government has been cohverfed from an instrument for spending money to an instrument 16* conducting business.” Admitting that the “real savings are small and illusory,” the New York Globe (in- dependent) believes that “Gen Dawes has done a task of co-ordination ‘which long needed to be undertaken. His entjre performance has been so ®ood that the Springfleld Republican (Mndependent) demands that inasmuch jas “the reform in the fiscal affairs of the government has only begun, Gen. Dawes ought not to retire at the ‘end of one year as head of the budget bureau, as he stipulated when he accepted the office. He is so ob- viously the man for the place and the fask he has undertaken is 3o colossal that the public interest requires him to stay on the job. The saving, in the view of the Pitts- burgh Dispatch (independent “is near enough to Senator Aldrich’s po- tential saving of a million a day to justity the expectation in the budget.’ And in phe opinion of the New York Post (independent), “so far as a bud- get system can effect economy, econ omy has been effected. ‘With these facts established it is the suggestion of the New York World (democratic) that “the budge stem is already amply vindicated,” but it will take more than one year for it to work out its full worth.
