LETS REFORMiwy reforms tire being agitated for
life beginning of the twentieth centurymanv of them sensible ones too Theone occupying the latgest spacean the public mind justnow is that seeding a revision of ourcalendar which all admit is a very awk-
ward¬
thing as at present arrangedIt seems strnnge 3foat the wise menwho established air svstem of measur--
insr time did iKSt hit oroon thirteenmontiis corresponding to the number- -
of moons in ths year instead of twelve- -
It would have been mcch more con-
venient
¬
to say the least as well asmuch5 more sensible he first twelvemonths could be composed of 28 dayseach and the thirteenth would have 29
and on leap year 30 days If the iewyear January 1st came on Monday
the lirBt day of each succeeding monthwould be on Monday of course and
Ithatwould save a lot of bother Of
course we would have to chauge ourbirthdays around to fit the new orderof Ihings and rearrange the dates ofmaturing notes but that could easily
be done Have we not adopted astandard- - of timewhich disregards all
meridians and causes twelve oclocknoon to fall on the same minute over
all ther space of vcountry between Long- -
pineiNebraskaand Pittsburg Pennsylvania And this changing of themonths is a matter which the UnitedStates can indiiige in without the aidor consent of any other nation on
earth Think also what a blessing itwould be to do away with that oldverse Thirtydays hatlrSepteraberetc
The opening of the twentiethcentury would be a fitting time for theinauguration of this reform and whilewe are in the reforming business we
nnight as well discard our old-fashi- on
ed clumsy method of measuring dis-
tance
¬
by I2 inches make one foot 3
feet make onejard 5 h yards makeone rod 320 rods make one mile andadopt the metric system of the Frenchnot only iu regard to distances butweights and other measures We
laugh at the English for computingtheir money in pounds shillings andpence but on avir part the measure oivalue is the only sensible one- - we employ Andat the same time why nothave our clocks and watches madeover so that the hours could be com-
puted¬
from lto 24 eachi dayinstead ofi
running up to 12 twica each dayTheres bo doubt about it the
United States is old fashioned regardless of its youth but as youth is al-
ways¬
the fhstfco adopt improved sys-
tems¬
the United States should be thefirst to take --up the reforms abovequoted
BRAIN IS INNOCENTWith bis customary brutality and
lack of decency C P Wiltse last weeklaunched at the editor of this paperabout a half column of abuse and rotwhich he flattershimself is sarcasmbut never once in the article does hemention the name of E J3 Brain orattempt to s prove the charges madeagainst that gentleman Instead heseeks to sinkthe matter into a person-al
¬
or newspaper fight instead of keep-ing
¬
it on legitimate lines This showsthe weakness of his case
As a matter of fact Wiltsedare potattempt to prove that E B Brain wasever guilty of malfeasance in office
Land his refusal tomake the attemntshows that he realizes how futile theettort would be aud is a practical admission that the charges made by himbefore election were false That is allthis paper desired either proof of thecharges or an admission that theywere false By his silence Wiltsemakes the admission He may vfill
columns with abuse of The Democrat or its editor and neither will payattention toit they are not built thatway but ifhejenews his attack uponBrain both will be found on deck andif the charges arerproven both will doas mey agreeq viz aia toe prosecution This paper has no personal in-
terest¬
in the niatter except tosee jus-tice
¬
done It is the friend of all whoare oppressed
The subscription list of the Ains- -
isvorthStar Journal is increasing sorapidly that Prof --Berkley left thispaper off his exchange list last weekbut The Democrat is informed thatrit received some good advertising freegratis Thanks Theres one thingcommendable about the Star Journalat least its editor is a gentleman andconfineshiroself to matters in baudwhich is piore than can be said of biscontemporary 30 miles down the road
