It can hardly be disputed that con

in disposing of "matters of Immediate
concern to the public," but the so
called "daylight saving bill" is not ono

The extract printed below Is from
the Tracy City Mrs. Grundy. We must
say that it is neatly and cogently put
Read it:
"The masses of the people of this
country are called upon for two bil
lions' of money within twelve months
for war purposes, to be loaned to the
government as a result of private sav
ing in the purchaso of non-essentials.
That is a lot of money. You cannot
conceive such a sum. But Just forget
that feature. All that is asked of you
is that you save every Quarter you can
and with each of them buy a thrift
stamp. Go to the postofflce and learn
all about it. When you have done
what you can in this way and all your
neignDora wive done what they can,
and when all other people and their
neighbors have done all they can. the
two billions will have been raised and
the end of the war will be nearer."
It would be difficult to add anything
to the foregoing classic without spoil
ing its force. We shall Just let it go
at that.

THE JARR FAMILY
.By Roy L. McCardell
(Copyright, 1913, by the Press Publishing Co. Ths New Tork Evening World.)
"Just to show that the sex Is united,
we are going to have a ratification meet,
ing at the Hotel St. Croesus this after
noon," remarked Mrs. Jarr, "so if I am
late this evening
you will know the
reason why."
"I do not know
that I will," said
Mr. Jarr, "unless
you tell me what
It Is you ladles

know," replied
Mrs. Jarr. "All I
do know is that
before we got the
vote we held meetings to ratify, and
after we got the vote we held meetings
to ratify. Then when we voted we again
met and ratified, and now that we have
elected four congressmen I don't mean
women congressmen; Miss Rankin, of
Montana, is still our only. lady congress
manstill, everybody said we elected
four by the votes of women why, we
are going to ratify again, whatever that
means."
"It means thers will be a big row
among all the dames and damsels fair,
I'll hut," remarked Mr. Jarr.
Mrs. Jarr regarded him coldly. "I beg
your pardon," she said. "But there will
be nothing of the kind! 'All the old
feminine animosities are gone with all
the other littlenesses of our sex.' as
Josephine Blesslngton Blotch says. With
the whole world at war, our sex Is at
peace."
This might have been true enough, in
a .larger sense, but at the ratification
meeting Mrs. Jarr came right In upon
two old friends with a grudge Clara

Mrs. Clara Madridge-Smlth turned

subject of secret service inquiry because

Mrs. Mudrldge-Smlth deemed it best
to infer that, her husband did not con

"Oh, you are misinformed. Mr. Smith

she meant because of the weather or be

marked that she really could not discuss
Mr. Smltht's business affairs, as he was
, doing important government work and
no one could tell where alien enemies
lurked.
This was a dig at Mrs. Stryver, who
had made much of a friendship with the
Barones von Grabbensteln before the
war. Since the war the baroness had
been suspected of being a spy because
she Had plenty of money and an accent.
Seeing Mrs. Stryver was about to re

Vice-President Marshall Outlines Reasoni
for United States Entering the i
Conflict.
Daytona. Fla.. March It. America'!
reasons for entering the war were out
lined by Vice-President Thomas R. Mar
shall in an address here before the Com
munity Forum, in which he criticised
Americans for talking too much Instead
of getting to work and winning the war.
"Doa't talk about what you are goins
to do after the war." he said, "but talk
about winning it. I believe I am about
the only man who has kept silent since
President Wilson asked ua to at the be
ginning of the war."
Speaking of the causes of the war, Mr.
Marshall said the acts of violence com
mitted by Germany against the United
States could not be arbitrated, because
the "opinions of mankind cannot be ar
bitrated." "Let it never be said that America's
treaties are mere 'scraps of paper,' but
rather bonds cf honor," continued the
vice-president; "the foundation of Amer
ica Is based on the old golden rule, and
under that rule America will preside at
the peaoe conference."
