Mr. Editor: A writer in your paper today takes issue against the use of to- bacco in banks and places of business, and invites discussion on that line. ‘We fear that-any attempt to correct society in this regards will prove utterly futile, in" the face of the millions being spent to advertise and promulgate the ractice, and In view’ of the constituen- cy that stands back of it respeclacl_e ar!d disrespectable; for this is a_practice in Which the refined and the vulgar, the learned and. the unlearned, the civilized and the savage are in agreement.

In the light of a great “interchurch movement” these and other inconsist- ncies do hot constitute a living Chris- tian standard, nor predict a great re- ous revival at home or abroad.

Norwich, April 27, 1920. Daylight Saving. Mr. Editor: I note by your Saturday’'s issue that all people Th your city and surrounding towns are expected to set clocks ahead one hour. I cannot E whether this. is a city ordinance or just merely a suggestion to the people. Now I thought this matter was passed upon last fall by congress and settled for all time, or at least until our national government wished to take the matter up again. It seems to me, Mr. Editor, that some towns and states, in taking up this matter of the so called, daylight saving, again, in the face of what has already been donej is resurrecting the old state rights idea, which I supposed had been buried long ago. When our country was at war it issued the daylight saving law and the people responded nobly, and ev- erybody tried to do their bit to help on the great cause, and when the call came to plant more and even cultivate up to the fences and corners, the farmers not only did this but they worked night and day and hundreds of thousands of them gave their sons to help: win the great war. Now when the war is over and our farmers have barely had time to catch their breath, say nothing about 'getting any rest, the state and cities are offering our help fabilous prices, and leading on- to us this “daylight saving” scheme which means that the farmers of. this community have got to get up in the morning before sunrise and wallow round h? the cold dew and frost for the next sections over its revolution hu.t will had in 50 years. And yet, we are ex- there be any hope of a better Mexico and | EDITORIAL NOT Water rates are being - advanced in some cities but it cannot be charged to prohibition. . Some are taking up home gardening to reduce;' others are indulging in it in order to produce. Daylight saving isn't fooling the peo- ple; it is oply getting for them what they are unwilling to take otherwise. 1t some one would only start a cam- paign to diseard jackets possibly a drop in the price of potatoes could be obtain- ed. Among all the others it isn't noticed that there are many Wilson delegates being named for the democratic conven-! tion. Pussyfoot Johnson predicts that Eng- land will be dry in ten years. There is no telling what will happen in this coun- try in that time. The man on the corner says: It is a significant fact that there is little inter- est in Who is running or how they run in the democratic primaries.

No wonder, Mr. Editor, that there are several farmers’ auctions advertised in your paper every day. I believe this to be an unconstitutional law; because if a state or city has a right to pass a law upon which the people are divided and which favors one class to the detri- ment of another, such as changing' the standard time then they have a right to enact any law whether it be the sale of liquor, or any other law not in accord- ance with national government. The city of Norwich may say that mo one is obliged to-conform to this ruling, yet every one who does business with ti business firms—of Norwich are forced to conform to their business hours. Yours respectfully, F. S. ARMSTRONG. Franklin, April 26, 1920. Those railroad strikers who are trying 1o get their jobs back without any pen- alty are like the fellow who expected to get ashore dry after jumping overboard.
