ADDED HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
WITH A CHANCE OF THE CLOCK
Daylight Saving, Which Begins Tomor
row Morning, Has Come te the
Cities te Stay
FARMERS fought and are still fighting,
for that matter against the principle
represented in daylight-saving ordinances
such ns these which will become effective In
Philadelphia and ether Eestern cities and
neighboring regions at 2 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Hut the tired business man is renlly tired
n large part of the time. Se is the tired
business woman and the tired business
child. That is why every American city
of any considerable size has come te view
the longer summer day ns nothing mere or
less than another manifestation of the pro
gressive thinking which tends steadily
toward a better general order of community
existence.
Daylight-saving ordinances are properly
regarded by the people In the cities as one
with better factory laws, better school laws
and laws devised te relieve all workers from
such economic stresses as appear destructive
te health and spirit.
t
In Philadelphia alone theuands of men
of all ages from offices, shops and factories
will be deep In the new game of twilight
baseball with the beginning of next week.
The games of what have become known as
the Twilight Leegues suggest what Is, per
haps, the most significant movement ever
begun in amateur sports.
It was the longer summer day rather than,
nny foresight of sports promoters In and out
of colleges that brought the crowds from
bleachers and sidelines nnd grandstnnds Inte
actual participation In baseball, tennis, golf
and ether outdoor games. The criticism of
American systems of sports has been that no
one get any benefit from the most popular
games but the specialist and the profes
sional. New, with the advent of the longer
days, the crowds which used te be content
with purely vocal exercise are being split up
into hundreds of units te play.
Yet they de net include the multitudes of
men nnd women and children who Had physi
cal benefit and numberless opportunities for
random recreation in an extra hour of light
and fresh air after the day's work. The
longer summer day lias been a blessing of
sorts te all cities.
Te the farmer it is another and n different
matter. C'liangln nnd cenlllctlng time
schedules de work l'urdihip te farmers, and
especially te dairymen.
The coming of ila.vlieht ami the coming of
dew nre slgn by which the farmer must
regulate his labor murine. The animals will
net change their habits. The earth's proc
esses will net change and the farmer has te
reckon with them or lee. Se the rule which
gives an addeil hour of daylight te the cities
usually menus an added hour of labor for
the farmer. whee day often must begin
according te the new time schedule though
it cannot end until the hour appointed when
crops first were sheltered for the night and
when animals learned te return te lever only
with the dusk and turn outward again with
dawn.
Hut the farmer alns lias the benefits of
clean air ami outdoor labor.
These primal advantage.-, lie Is disposed te
view with tlie lack of appreciation which we
always have for long-familiar tilings. He
does net knew whnt existence can be llke
for these who pass all their time indoors
nnd see the sky or breathe fresh air only
new and then. f lie did he would under
stand why the cities always clamor for the
longer summer day.
It Is certain that the cities will never
consent te see daylight saving ended. The
tendency everywhere In heavily populated
areas is toward Its establishment as a na
tional institution. Thus the daylight-saving
season has been lengthened In Philadelphia
this year. It will be four months long.
New Yerk will have a similar rule.
In the course of time, when n way can
be found te adjust the system fairly te the
farms or te reimburse the farmer for his
added trouble, the question of the long sum
mer day will be brought up again in Con
gress. But since Congress is nlwuys nervous
in the presence of the farmer, a solution of
the farmer's difficulty must first be found.
It ought te be found, but only experience
will lend te it. In the meantime, we shall
have te be content with confusion In rail
road time schedules.
THE FOLLY OF FEVERISH WORDS
THE se-called allied nations at Genea arc
reported te be particularly anxious that
their financial proposal te JOiisla shall net
be proclaimed as an ultimatum.
The warning is timely. The disposition
te ever-dramatize lutcrnntlenaj conclaves
is widely prevalent. In the idiom of the
day every difference of opinion becomes n
criils, every demagogic political speech an
expression of governmental policy, every
preposition from one nation te another an
imperious mandate.
Whatever the merit of his intentions, Mr.
Lloyd Geerge does net help matters much
by his apocalyptic verbiage. It is some
what unnecessary te reiterate the fact that
if the world does net have peace It will have
war, and that the disruption of the Genea
conference would plunge Europe In gloom
and dismay. Every one knows this, which
is one of the vital reasons why the ses
sions for all their phates of excitement are
still en.
Even the Russians, master linguists as
they are, are contaminated by the general
utmesphere of fever and delirium. In their
excitement their expert translators failed te
differentiate between the meaning in the
debt proposals of "writing down" and
"writing off." In consequence the Soviet
representatives Indignantly declined te con
sider this feature of the financial question in
their rejoinder.
The emphasis of under-statement is dis
tinctly in order. By recognizing its wetrth
it may eventually be possible te distinguish
an ultimatum from un appeal, a conflict of
judgments from world ru.. ,
RULINGS WITHOUT REASON
IT IS difficult te fellow the mental preteases
of the internal ruveuue officers who make
tax rulings, These men seem nble te make
nice distinctions which would escape the
Iem tvmte UteUsctfsaf tht rest of us.
TsJw for purpolpef illustration tbe rs-
tributlens te the Woodrew Wilsen Founda
tion may net deduct the amount of their
contributions from the taxable income. The
Cemmlssiiner of Internal Revenue had
ruled that contributions te the Roosevelt
Memerial Association might be deducted
from taxable income,
New, the Roosevelt Association is founded
te perpetuate the memory of Roosevelt nnd
te propagate his ideas. The Wilsen
Foundation Is established In order te bring
about the adoption of the Wilsen ideas, te
award prizes te citizens who have done
something for their country and te provlde
scholarships in universities for worthy stu
dents. The Roosevelt Association is classified as
an educational institution by Commissioner
Rlntr and the Wilsen Foundation ns a civic
institution. The law exempts contributions
te education from tax, but it does net ex
empt contributions te civic purposes.
Se far as we can see, the Wilsen Founda
tion Is just ns really educational as the
Roosevelt Association, and contributions te
it come in the same class ns contributions
te the Roosevelt funds.
Uut there is nothing new in this sort of
ruling, ns every business man knows. He
has made out Ills, income tax return in ac
cordance with definite rulings received from
Washington only te find when his return is
filed that the rulings have'been reversed and
he must make out n new return. He
hastens te de this in the hope that he can
file it before a third ruling is mnde.
THE CONTAGION OF PROGRESS
IMPORTUNED upon one occasion te sug
gest Improvement upon the dispensations
of providence, Rebert G. Ingcrsell declared
that if omnipotent he would make health
contagious Instead of disease. The answer
was unquestionably clever. Nevertheless
there could be drawn from It the Implica
tion that error travels in inverse ratio te
right. That this conjectured rule is net in
variable Is n fact which skepticism recoils
from recognizing. Progress Is sometimes
contagious ns well as retrogression.
Take, for instance, the subject of the
Frankford Elevated, long se wearisome and
se vexatious. That issue is no sooner dis
posed of by the ngrccment forecasting the
operation of the line next autumn than a
kindred theme equally the despnir of a
patient public is promptly revived.
One touch of progress Is indeed inspirit
ing. The delegation of business men from
the northeastern section who yesterday
called the Mayer's attention te the oft
deferred project of adequate transportation
en the Roosevelt Boulevard have obviously
been -aroused by the new order.
They have Mr. Moere's assurance that
municipal attention will seen be turned te
n general development of the transit sys
tem. In few sections of the city nre new
lines mere seriously needed than in the
spacious region of which the Boulevard is
a main artery.
The thoroughfare should be served cither
bv moterbustfs or trolleys. The trackless
system with which the transit company has
been experimenting for some time might, it
would seem, be Used te excellent advantage
here.
But even the laying of rails would net
necessarily deface this splendid avenue,
with Its abundance of roadways.
It is high time te de away with the non
sense that the principal streets of the city
should remain deserts, se far as transit
conveniences are concerned. The Boulevard
is sufficiently roomy te provide important
transportation service for the gcncrnl pub
lic, and when this is furnished n vast sec
tion of town will be opened for legitimate
growth.
Would the idea have been forcibly re
vived without the li settlement? It is ex
tremely unlikely. What has already
auspiciously happened may be reasonably
ascribed te the contagion of progress.
NICK CARTER'S GRIP
tt
- nw '"
J3 T
The command was punctuated with
the sharp ping of a bullet thnt penetrated
the first page of the newspaper ine miuuiu
ageil guy was reading. Se close was the
pistol that the paper caught fire, and
threuph the jagged hole thus mnde there ap
peared the sharp, intellectual face of
"Nick Cnrterl"
"The same'."
As the voice rang out a smile spread
ever the face of the middle-aged guy and he
extended his hand.
"Gee, Nick," he said, "you had me
going for n minute. Put it there. But
where de you get that 'Back' stuff?"
But he knew the moment he asked the
question. It wns back for him te the days
when he hid "Nick Carter" In the leaves
of his jegerfy book ; back te the days when
he hied te the attic or the barn te vend the
stirring udventurcs of his here; back te the
days of his boyhood nleng the "De you re
member?" read ; back te the land of remnnce
where Nick Carter shared honors with Old
Sleuth, Buffalo BUI, Jack Harkaway, Wolf

Curson, Deerfoot, Frank Nelsen and the
rest.
Back wafted back by the terse account of
the suicide of Frederick Van Rensselaer

turned out story after story of the cele
brated detective who ranged higher in the
beyishjalnds of two generations than ever
Sh'ci'Iockllelmes could hope te.
Time was when staid maturity frowned
down en dime novels. All kinds of crimes
' were laid te their doers. They made boys
I restless. They tent them trniling out West
e hunt Indians. They did all manner of
things te irritate elderly respectability.
But the boys loved the paper backs, per
liape loved them all the mere because they
were forbidden and had te be read secretly.
And "hen the youngsters grew up It begnn
te dawn upon them that there was nothing
very dreadful about the nevelfi, anyhow.
That in them virtue wns always triumphant
and vice was always punished. That they
were elieckfull of stirring adventure that
never did a boy a pennyworth of harm.
Harm, say jeu? It is te laugh.
If Stevenson hadn't soaked himself with
dime novels he never would have been able
te write "Treasure Island,'' the finest dime
novel of them all. It Is tbe merest chance
that it proved te be literature and became

And se the world ewes n debt of grati
tude te Mr. Dey, a debt it only begins te
realize new thnt he lias laid down his pen.
He was the most prolific writer of his

V
A Famous Political Slogan-' Recalled.
- Grant and Third Term Mem
ories of Den Cameren,. Quay,
Jamea MeManee and David
H. Lane
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
t ANYTHING tebeat Grant."
Hew many white-haired and dodder
ing Yetcrs of today recall that bitter slogan?
In all the columns of eulogistic biography
of U. S. Grant that have been published
during the last week, I bave seen only one
brief reference te this war cry et the
eighties.
And yet it was once the rancorous, un
relenting partisan cry of a political faction
that hated the "Here of Appomattox."
The word "Stalwarts" te designate a fac
tion had its birth then.
Its counterpart today is found in the term
"bitter-enders."
The famous "300," immortalized in Re
publican hlsterv nud linked with the name
of Gcncrnl Grant, have in this city all passed
away with one exception.
Tbe medal that really commemorated
Grant's political Appomattox has become
tarnished.
David II. Lane is the sole survivor of that
noted band in Philadelphia.
IT IS a story of partisan fidelity well worth
repeating today.
The episodes connected with it paved tbe
way for tiie martyrdom of a President and
the exile of a brilliant but irreconcilable
Senater.
They were .Tames A. Garfield, of Ohie,
nnd Roscec Cenkllng. of New Yerk.
It tore the Republican Party into frag
ments for n time In the country.
Hutreds were engendered that were ex
tinguished only by death.
Its circumstances, although he was net
responsible for their inception or ultimate
trend, cast a shadow ever the .name of
Ulysses S. Grant.
And yet in its way it accomplished great
geed.
"Third tcrmlsm," as applied te the presi
dency of the United States, received a blew
that It is believed has prostrated lt for all
time.
Briefly, this is the almost forgotten story
of the famous campaign of
"Anything te beat Grant."
IN 1880, at the close of President' Hayes'
term, the Republican Party had presi
dential timber te burn.
General Grant, after the close of his sec
ond term, hnd started en a tour of the world.
It was the most remarkable triumph ever
accorded up te that time n human being
by the nations und Governments of the world.
It begnn at Philadelphia and ended at
Philadelphia.
With the triumphs of this glebe-encircling
ovation still fresh, Senater Roscec
Cenkllng, of New Yerk, and a group of his
friends seized upon Gcncrnl Grant as their
candidate for the presidency.
It would have been Grant's third term
as President had he been nominated and
elected.
Cenkllng, brilliant, vindictive, uncon
trollable und an unapproachable orator,
hated James G. Blaine.
Blaine was a potential candidate for the
presidency.
Grant was the most popular, and thus the
most available, man then before the public.
It wns net that Cenkllng loved Grant,
but that he hated Blaine.
General Grant was net nware of the sen
timent being worked up quietly by Cenkllng'
until lie returned from his world tour, and
it lias generally been conceded that Grant
did net greatly desire te become a candidate.
Den Cameren, of Pennsylvania, was
Cenkllng's side partner in the scheme from
Its inception.
Quay was then forty-seven years of age.
MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY was at
this time Secretary of the Common
wealth. He was Den Cameren's principal lieu
tenant, for he wns dclegntc-at-largc te the
Convention of 18h(), in which the "300"
made their dramatic but futile stand.
Besides Conkling and Cameren there was
General Jehn A. ("Black Jack") Legan,
afterward vice presidential candidate en the
ticket with Jnmes G. Blaine, who helped
in tbe work of gathering delegates te the
Grant standards.
Tlau ether candidates conspicuous for their
ability and following were Jehn Sherman,
of Ohie, Secretary of the Treasury ; Senater
James G. Blaine, of Maine, nnd Senater
Geerge F. Edmunds, of Vermont.
Edmunds was the choice of a group of
independents.
Blulne had n large following in the West
nnd friends scattered through every Eastern
State.
Jehn Sherman wns popular with the bank
ing and tlnnnclnl interests.
Ills candidacy was cared for by a quartet
of Ohie men, dclcgates-at-large, among
whom were Governer Charles Fester and
James A. Garfield.
Sherman's friends afterward charged
Fester with treachery by going ever te
Garfield early in the game.
THE third-term issue Instantly became
paramount.
Chicago was the scene of the National
Republican Convention of 1880.
It opened en June 3 of that year.
Conkling, fearing a belt and an Inde
pendent candidate, early in its sessions In
troduced a resolution pledging the delegates
te accept and support the choice of the con
vention. It passed with but three dissent
ing votes, 710 delegates being for it.
The unit rule, which compelled every
delegation te vote ns u majority of dele
gates dictated, wns abandoned.
Nineteen New Yerk delegates broke away
from Grant at once. Later they voted for
Blaine.
Den Cameren, as head or the i'ennsylvn
nia delegation, had equally hard luck hold
ing his men.
The sentiment of Pennsylvania was un
mistakably for the brilliant and gifted
Blaine.
Cameren, with the tactics of a ward boss,
aided by Quay and strongly backed by Chris.
A. Magec, of Pittsburgh, tried te held the
delegation for Grnnt.
James McManes, of this city, notified

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They
Knew Best
By ERNEST T. TRIGG
On Business Conditions After the Fair
THE importance of laying business plans
beyond 1020 is a matter which Is en
grossing the attention of some of the lead
ing business men of the city, according te
Ernest T. Trigg, former president of the
Chnmber of Commerce.
"The business history of every city in
which n great fair has been held." said Mr.
Trigg, "shows that after itlie close of the
exposition there is n decided let-down in
business. It seems te mc thnt this might,
nt least te a grcnt extent, be obviated if
these in chnrge of affairs planned abend te
this end. The trouble hns been heretofore
thnt no one hns made It his business te try
te avoid this 'slump which hns always fol
lowed a great exposition.
Should Plan Ahead
"Therefore, I feel that it will be a mis
take net te lay plans nt the present time
beyond 1020. The usual experience of n
fair city is that, beginning some time prier
te the opening of the exposition, business
takes a sharp upward curve, which lasts
until the exposition is ever, and then there
in an almost equally sharp decline. This is
bud for the business Interests of the city in
se many ways that it is net necessary te
enumerate them.
"New the thing te be accomplished in
Philadelphia is for us te leek ahead, net four
yenrs, but ten, and ranke our business plans
new te carry us along until 1032 or. tn ether
words, until all the temporary business ef
fects of the Scsqul-Centenniul are ever and
we are again en n normal bnsis.
"Te illustrate: Let us Imagine nn ascend
ing line as Illustrating the natural gain of
business in the city beginning nt 1022 and
reaching the height In 1032 Hint the nermnl
gain during that decade would attain. New,
when the Scsqul-Centenninl comes, there will
he a sheeting upward of that line which may
bring us te the 1032 level, or ueiir it, within
the period of a few years.
"Our problem, therefore, is te bridge ever
the chasm between thnt unusual development
nnd the 1032 point, se that there shall be
no shnrp decline with the result of a hnrd
struggle te get back te the position wc would
hnve normally taken In 1032: In ether words,
te plan se ns te Keep mat line en a level se
that by 1032 wc shall meet the ascending
line as though there hud been no exposition,
or even better than that, te teke advantage
of the exposition se that by 1032 we shall
have n higher position thnn we would have
reached by normal business development.
Hew te Accomplish It
"The next step in the situation is te de
velop n plan which shall meet It by co
ordinating the various factors. In the first
place, there will be a tremendous amount
of construction work done in Philadelphia
in the near future for the Sesqul-Centen-nlel.
Therefore. It would be sound business
policy for nil of us net te allow nny work
of this kind net immediately necessary te
be done while the erection of the fair build
ings is going en. The enormous amount of
construction work Incident te the fair will
make u runaway market under any circum
stances, and the restriction of individual
enterprise along these lines during this
period will tend net only te stabilize that
market, hut will provlde a vast amount of
work after the fair Is ever nnd when this
assistance will be very acceptable te gen
eral business conditions.
"This plan will net be n difficult one te
put through, provided we can get full co
operation, but without this co-operation it
would be a hopeless undertaking. The State
und city efiiclalb und representatives of pri-
vnte enterprise! ceiueiiiiiiaiiiig minding en
a large scale should get together and decide,
what shall and what shall net be dune In
these matters. The normal outcome of such
a plan well conceived und well carried out
would be that, at the close of the exposition,
there would be an amount of work ready
which would entirely counteract any weak
ening business effects that the sudden ces
sation of the Immense activities of the
Scsqul-Centenninl might have.
"It would simply mean holding In reserve
all the work which it is net immediately
necessary te de. 'J Ids huge nmeunt of work
would simply be held until 102(1 nnd then
released in the manner which seems te be
for the best business interests of the city
between that time nnd 1032.
Ce-operation Absolutely Necessary
"The plan seems te me te be perfectly
feasible provided we can get the r.o-eperu-tifiu
necessary .and co-ordinate the various
i

elements, the union of which is essential te
its success. I cannot tee strongly stress this.
Seint et co-operation, .ler it the Federal,
tnte nnd city officials and the heads of pri
vate enterprises go it alone, thinking only
of the selfish bide, wc cannot hope te get
anywhere with it.
"History shows thnt the falling off after
a great exposition Is usually precipitous
even mere se than the advance up te the
high point. This Is due te the let-down of
business caused by the Instantaneous re
turn te the nermnl population of the city
and the fact that the community Is usually
greatly ever-built and ever-supplied for
normal conditions, because of the great tem
porary increase in its population. When
this tempernry population returns te Its
permanent homes some method must be
found te absorb this material without pro pre
"leing unfortunate business conditions,
rhnt is the grcnt problem which new lies
before us.
"Nothing definite hns yet been done te
meet the situation which I hnve outlined,
but the sooner we start the better results

take up the whole matter just as seen ns we
find out with whom we shall huve te work.
Profiting by Experience
"We should profit by this experience of
ether cities which have had great expositions
and handle the situation with vision. There
huve been cities In the past where the busi
ness reaction ufter u big fair has mere than
TiM.f .i nn. t?l,,neru,,y "mucin 1 advantage
