MORE ABOUT DAYLIGHT.

That tho members of the National Daylight
Association exemplify to an unusual degree that
yjrtue known as hustle" cannot be denied. Re
forms come, in most cases very gradually, ana
usually the grandchildren of the would-be re-
former are the first to get the benefit of his
advanced views but in the case of the body
of daylight savers in Cincinnati there was never
any possibility of a cold trail. Organized on
the 9th day of May, 1909, before the end of the
month members of the committee had reached
Washington and set before the President the
ways and means of performing what had long
been considered impossible-the lengthening of
davs Before the end of June this had become
an accomplished fact in Cincinnati. And when
figured out the plan is rdiculously simple, in
yoIving nothing more than what the leaders OF
the movement apparently believe to be the easy
task of fooling the working public into beliey-
ing that it is in the morning when, according
TO solar time, it is only Z.
At first thought it might seem that one of the
most praisewOrthy suggestions made by the
parents of the movement in this country is that
relating to the farmer. They want TO help the
moor downtrodden husbandman, and assume
that adding an hour 10 his day will tickle him,
we might say almost to death. Every hired
man can testify TO the desire on the part of the
farmer TO have the day begin as early as pos
sible during the summer months. Especially
farmhands' convention be true, there is a ten
dency on the part of the countryman TO get the
family out by starlight in order that not a
moment of precious daylight may be wasted.
Ry the time the morn in russet mantle clad has
tripped lightly through the dew from the east
ern hills the farmer and his aids have begun to
stir the humble bees from their nests in the
stubble
While the movement which seems likely to
radiata from Cincinnati ripples follow the
descent of a brick into the middle of q pond
NAV be entirely satisfactory to the farmer
there is likely TO be a protest from the hired
hands union. They figure that during the va
cation months they get an average Of fourteen
hours work day anyway, and if these re-
formers can save an hour of daylight in the
morning this summer next season they will
want to save an hour in the evening, and
general agricultural strike all along the line
NAV result The rumor ia abroad that under
present conditions. with nature handling the
matter of daylight hours as they have been
conducted for some ages, farm labor is hard to
get and harder TO keep. Ii may be all right TO
save daylight for the city people who haven't
learned the art of economy In such matters,
but there is some reason TO believe that unless

Controller AIetz's report on the cost of acquir-
ing land for the Catskill water supply system
shows that condemnation proceedings there are
resulting scandalously- II has cost SSSS,o5I ~

awarded. That is to say. the expenses Of con
demnatioa are 20 per cent OF what the land
itself costs the city. Nor is this all The sums
awarded have been grossly excessive The Con-

the city IS paying from three to five times as
much for the property it acquires by condem-
nation as private purchasers have - pay for
similar property in the same neighborhocd. The

correctly informed are more than the land ac-

Controller Metz puts the whole blame for the
