Although the measures voted on were not the same. | B’- Houses of Congress have voted to repeal the daylight saving there is little doubt that the two Houses will agree upon an act which will deprive the country after the present year of this tried and proven benefit. It seems incredible that Congress should thus go against the expe-| riences and earnest desire of an overwhelming majority of the people of the United States. But there is much that is incredible about Con- grees these days. H . Beplying to the assertion of Representative Esch of Wiscons) that “the opponents of daylight saving number 10,000,000,” Repre- sentative Moore of Pennsylvania declared : “If the gentleman from Wisconsin speaks for 10,000,000 peo- ple, as be claims, I am speaking for 100,000,000. This law has been working magnificently for 100,000,000 people.” So ithas. But the will of the 100,000,000 is no longer paramount with their representatives, so called. The well organized lobby of a »10,000,000 or @ 5,000,000 exerts far stronger driving force. We have »seen it in Prohibition legislation. Now we get sorry proof of how a minority of old fogy farmers, egged on by gas and electric lighting interests, can be used to bedevil legislators’ into repealing one of the most beneficent, practical, progressive laws that ever increased the health and happiness of an immense majority of the Nation’s workers. We used to talk about representative government in the United States. Is there any way to get it back? ———— 4 Another safe robbery, in which $30,000 in Liberty Bonds and $10,000 worth of jewelry were taken from a Fourth Avenue (Manhattan) firm, was kept secret by the police—no doubt in accordance with Hizzoner’s wel] known theory that the more you tell and print ebout crime the worse it will get. Why not ask victims te conceal burglaries, hold-ups, etc, even from the police? Maybe then the crooks, hearing notbing at all, would | become really discouraged. nS © WHERE THE A. F. L. GOES WRONG. HEN it adopts a resolution describing the courte of the country as “a sinister influence which is sapping the life from our institutions and creating the worst sort of an _ pittocracy,” the American Federation of Labor must expect @ sharp break in the approval with which the larger public has followed the ‘@etivities of the Atlantic City convention. The Am people find many things to criticize in the way laws are passed and enforced. They at times seek to change the more cumbersome processes and methods by which the laws are inter- ted. But few of them can have any sympathy with the view that courts have been “exercising powers more tyrannical than any fssumed bythe most tyrannical despot ever known to history.” Nor _ gan they have aught but strong disapproval for a recommendation that ~ organized labor “shall disregard injunctional decrees of courts on the that such decrees violate rights guaranteed under the Con- stitution.” ‘ Rights can never be durably established or extended by over- tarning the principles that have hitherto stood as their strongest pro- tection. The people of the United States are not ready to rail at their courts because justice occasionally miscarries or lags. Even the adrmitted injustice of a Mooney case does not discredit the whole judi- || cial system, Federal and State. 4 +) phe will signs The American Federation of Labor is doing itself and its aims pe good by reviling the judiciary.

Bu! + DEFINING “LEGISLATURE.” HE contention that the Prohibition Amendment has not yet been properly ratified is upheld by an Ohio Judge who main- tains that the term Legislature as employed in the Federal Constitution must be taken to mean “that body or bodies in which lie the full and final expression of the will of the people.” In other words, in a State the laws of which provide for a popn lar referendum on questions like Prohibition, the vote of State legis- lators does not of itself represent the vote of the Legislature of th: State. To the latter, when acting upon such questions, the vote of the peo le is necessary. % It is significant to find local courts sustaining 4 view upon which has been based action to secure a referendum on National Prohibition fa a dozen States whose constitutions provide therefore, i Can the higher courts be otherwise than equally firm in the pro iL tection and defense of popular rights? ——__—_—_—_—— “Abolish the saloon if we must, but keep the bartender.

Coprrignt, 1919, by The Pres Publisuing Co. (The New York Bvening World), The Force of Circumstances _ BRTAIN things in human na- ture are much alike the world over, Among these somewhat Universal traits is the tendency to assert excuses and condition alibis for non-performance of work or for failure to suceed in accomplishment. This is the disposition to attribute our unhappy place in the world of affairs to conditions over which we have no control. The poorest of threadbare exouses people give for holding positions for which they are not naturally adapted and in which they have only a perfunctory interest, iy that they are compelled to keep on by “force of circumstances.” The worst part of such a condition is that they let the idea hold them to it, with little attempt to change the cir- cumstances or to break through the barricade, There are many reasons why one does not often attempt to make a radical change even when he realizes that he is not satisfied with bis work. Among the reasons are these, that past experience cannot {nform us of @ natural choice; generalities in the matter of advice are useless, Under these conditions instead of getting expert advice we let clroum- stances govern us. If we make a mistake and prove it by our inability to enjoy or to awake a compelling in- terest in the work we have fallen Into, and find it does not prove to be our vocation, our next choice may be no nearer the right one. arts we find pleasure in as pastimes, as music or painting or sketching, sometimes 48 avocations point to the right voca- | tion, Sometimes an opportunity to do mechanical jobs at odd hours points » tae better thing to do. But to self In these columns Dr. erton, the be glad to answer questions from rea ibyh measure our real potential abilities, the abilities we have had no chance to test, to prove the vocation fitted to the combinations of our natural talents, without a natural means of detecting them, is a difficult thing to do, It requires experience and analy- sis of the abilities needed by the vo- cation, It is much more difficult than Atting keys to fourteen hundred Yale locks without opening the lock. Hav- ing made a false start along the wrong vocational path, we continue in it with indifferent success and at the same time bemoan our fate but do nothing to overcome it. Thou- sands of us are in wrong positions and know it, and instead of making any Intelligent effort to get into a po- sition to which we are better suited, simply “limp along” and complain that we are victims of circumstances. Lincoln might have been a victim of circumstances, but he rose above it; so with Schwab, Carnegie and others too numerous to mention, Even when we know what we pre- fer to do, or what we can do best, and it is necessary to get a temporary Position to tide us over the crisia of immediate necessity, we should aunt for the right vocation, fight to ret it, meet the issue squarely when it conies to a chance to change.
