The shorter period of five months, beginning “April 30, will dispose of one of the objections. Greater uniformity in the time of changing is re- Ported by the President of the National Daylight Saving Association. The three great coast cities "Will change at the same moment, as will most of the smaller places. It is expected that the rail- roads will co-operate better than last year We shall hear from many opporents. Much of the opposition is fanatic and unreasoning. There geems to be little question that for the great ma- “fority of urban dwellers daylight saving is a real boon. Maybe another year will convince the rural doubters in the Eastern time belt that the reform is not so disagreeable as they believe it to be. By 1923 it is to be hoped the whole belt will have come into line, thus abolishing much of the gonfusion evident last summer Maybe the Mayor can make “Civic Virtue” less odious by banking the foot of the statue with the bouquets Commissioner Hirshfield bestows on him. os" PUT IT ON WHEEL. A AANY things have changed in the three dec- ades since Gen, Jasob C led his rmy” to Washington The first march was in a period of “depression.” Now in the era of “normalcy” Coxev talks of re- peating the performance Coxey hasn't changed so much. [Te still holds the opinion that economic evils can be righted by ® simple half dozen laws passed by Congress. Coxey isn't alone in this opinion. Two of the “ten who have helped most to change material Conditions in this country are also’ recent converts yto the idea thai Congressional enactments are a eure for economic ills Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison agree that something ought to be done about the money question. While differing in detail, both their the- ories seem to resemble the Coxey idea of thirty years ago. __ If Coxey seriously considers the revival of his “petition on le; he will do well to confer with the wizards of Detroit and Menlo Park. If he €an arrive at a satisfactory compromise with these Mechanically proficient philosophers their efforts will greatly simplify his task. Remember the Oscar J]. Henry could draw a crowd again if he would only furnish flivver trans- portation and the “eats.’ Commuting trains have blossomed ou' in the annual spring crop of beautifully colored seed catalogues, ¢ A BENCH RESERVE. T 1S unfortunate Judge Grossman did not launch sooner his campaign for a “Bench Reserve” of Auxiliary Judges to serve when the calendar oi the Court of General Sessions becomes congested «: The scheme is novel and yet so practical that it would have appealed to the Legislature if there Wad been sufficient opportunity for detailed study, op The delay of a year is unfortunate, for the ¢rime wave is on us now ayd calendars are more «erowded than ever. If trials could be scheduled while the crimes are fresh the law would be held in greater respect Justice delayed is often jus- "fice denied Certainly there are many eminent jurists in the New York bar capable of serving in the emer- gency. Many would be glad to do so. The court would not lose dignity by calling for competent assistants An evident Advantage of a Bench Reserve “would be the opportunity presented to test Judges Abefore selecting them for permanent service. In time it might come about that all judgeships would be filled from the public-spirited member- ship of the Reserve. That death threat letter to W. H. Anderson was probably written by some one still crazy from a drink of Prohibition quality hoocb ANYHOW, THERE'S MORE CIRCU: gr no disparagement of the big show at Madi- | son Square Garden to say tt is the nearest thing to a circus New York ever sees.

But to make up, it gets a bigger circus HE Senate has ratified the Pour-Power Treaty. a Other nations can omit — treaty-making with the United States from the list of things hopeless and impossible. It can be done. Through a thicket of proposed amendments and reservations the Senate pushed to the final vote The treaty came out with nothing adhering to it but the Brandegee reservation which records the understanding of the United States that “there is no commitment to armed force, no alliance, no obligation to join in any defense.” Unquestionably this reservation will reassure 9 iderable number of cautious Americans Those, on the other hand, who hold that it weakens the treaty should remember how public opinion in the United States awakens to obliga- tion and presses for action in the presence of the rights and wrongs of an actual situation. A 4imilar thought may lessen the disappoint- ment of those who hoped for specific provision that outside powers whosé interests may be in- volved shall be invited to conferences held under the treaty. Here again the influence of the Government of the United States and of public opinion in the United States is sure to work powerfully for the inclusion of other nations in any given case where con such inclusion appears just. . The Four-Power Treaty as it stands is potent for peace. . It establishes a limited League of Nations in re- _lation to problems in the Pacific. It brings the United States into an international pattnership in which this Nation is certain to gain experience and confidence of a sort that will grad- walt: allay American fears of larger co-operation in the safeguarding of peace. Every far-sighted friend of the League of Na- tions will heartily rejoice that. the United States Senate has ratified the Four-Power Treaty. It means that this Nation is being irresistibly impelled toward the bigger role in the world’s ai- fairs‘for which it is destined. It means that though parties and factions may for the moment hamper, they cannot permanently obstruct the movement. Uhe first step is the hardest. At last we have taken it { THE ROLL OF HONOR.
