Daylight Saving.

The misunderstanding proposition has
been brought to Washington, and Is now,
so to speak. before the people. 1t Is Tor
washingtonians to declare themselves on
,'the scheme of putting the hands OF the
clock forward one hour in summer, SO as
10 start the days work that much earlier
nRnd save sixty minutes for recreation al
dhe other end. There is no prescribed
ismethod for ascertaining public sentiment
There in Washington. Yet the opinion or
l.fhe community is usually ascertainable
Fly means of letters. interviews and public
Estatements 1t remains to be seen
whether the District is sufficiently inter
ested in this plan to declare itself.
In its general aspects the idea of saving
I'aime by shifting the clock hands does not
L,recommend itself strongly. Time Is
Ietate of mind. it has been said. rather
r4han physical fact. Some men can do
iNnore work of the same kind in one hour
than others can in two. Some people can
Tfderive more pleasure out of ten minutes
in the same environment than others can in
day. Some men rise earlier than others
because they are temperamentaliy more
Falert. Some people get along with less
sleep than others. To many people the
idea of rising at instead Of in summer
in the afternoon Is unspeakaby abhor-
rent And, again, there are others who
would make almost any sacrifice in order
10 lengthen the latter period Of the day
devoted to recreation and enjoyment.
Eight hours work. eight hours play
and eight hours sleep-that is the IA
miliar old ratio for the days division.
No law and no convention by common
agreement will ever change this general
apportionment Of time There will be
some to work ten hours because the trade
. conditions demand, and others to work
six hours because their environment per-
mits: and, again, there will be many
! whose work averages eight hours. Much
depends on the kind of work and the
kind of men. We are not all constituted
alike. which is a fact highly appreciated
by physicians, tailors, food purveyors
and others who are occupied in the In
teresting task Of supplying human needs
and caring for human ailments.
Probably the only clock-turning propo-
sition that is now generally popular In
e;Washington is the one to restore the old
4 O'Clock closing for the departments,
which Congress a few years ago ruth
tJessly and unfeeingly amended. The
present tendency In all times OF human
effort Is to lessen the hours Of work to
equaIize the increased tension under
which modern labor is performed. Yet
fIJncle Sam stands forth as the exception
10 this rule. 1t would probably be more
,proftable to enlist the public sentiment
of the District in an effort to restore the
traditional departmental hours than to
undertake fantastic scheme Of tamper-
ing with the timepieces.

Japan.

In the absence OF official advices. lie,
us continue to hope that the gossip about
the recall Of Baron Takahira is nothing
but gossip. 1t seems absurdly- based
America and Japan are at peace with
each other. and the best sentiment In
both countries demands that peace con-
tnue. To this condition the Japanese
ambassador. by his tact and knowledge OF
America, has contributed no little. Ger
tainly a new policy, expressed by a new
man sent from Toxic, would at least dis
turb matters. and 1t might not work for
the best.

Inmates that If these Young men would
stay in Vermont and put the same
amount OF energy into apple orchards

the returns would be quite as satisfact-

not enjoy having Vcrmonts industrial
and commercial prog ess retarded by the
emigration OF so much young blood and
energy. The Register things there is
plenty of money to be had In Vermont,
and wants the young men to stay at
home and help find 1t.
1t is too bad OF course. that anybody

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers Of health and strength:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles Of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath.
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats--that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food The finest food
for making strength OF bone, muscle
and nerve Is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
hus,5s or stems or black specks. Farm
crs' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results In work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages: if rot near the store buy the
large size family package.

TIEETWOODS ANNOUNCEMENT.
('rom the Barre Tmes)
The salient point about the frank avow-
al of frederick G. Fleetwood of Norris
VILE that he wants 10 be governor OF YER
mont is the announcement that he has no
barrel which he will open In
the campaign for the coveted
honor This. while not entirely new,
is extremely refreshing and will be worth
something to his candidacy Judge Ied
s. Stanton of Roxbury announced when
he tried for the republican nomination
recently, that he was poor man and
that no money could be looked for from
him, and his honest declaration made
friends for him throughout the State
without doubt. There had been so many
allegations of the lavish use of money
for campaign purposes that people were
somewhat nauseatcd over 1t and longed
for candidate without barl" Mr..
Fleetwood isn't poor man by any means
but people will be pleased with his Not
q cent shall | spend in this canvass" He
IS sensible enough to realize that If the
people of the state want him for their
governor they can take him at his true
worth as a man. regardless of his pocket
book.
Mr. Fleetwood is one of the best known
| of the younger men of Vermont, and
while stlll in his 10th year has had fair
