The New Republic: What opposi-
ton there is to the daylight saving
bill seems to be due to a simple fail
ure to see the point. The directors
fall for the most part into two classes
those who say that the thing Is a
mere farce and Of no effect at all ex-
cept as it sets precedent for organ
lied lying, and those who look upon it
as a drastic interference with indi.
vfdual liberty. In point of fact, OF
course, 1T is an eminently practical de.
vice, and at the same time it leaves
the individual exactly as much liberty
as he has at present. The gist of the
matter is simply this. In winter we
get up at o'clock because daylight
comes at z; In summer we get up at
a because we got up at 7 in the winter
1t is convenient to have uniform prac
teal associations with every hour in
the day-to have o'clock mean time
