James A. Gary of Baltimore, who
celebrates his S5th birthday today,
was for many years a republican
leader OF national prominence. A
native of Connecticut, he moved
to Maryland in 1910 and after COM
pleting his education entered into
partnership with his father, who was
head OF a large firm of cotton duck
manufacturers in Baltimore. In due
course the son became head of the
firm and in later years attained
place as one of the most foremost
business men and tinanciers of the
Maryland metropolis. In 1870 he
was republican nominee for con-
gress and in 1879 he was the choice
OF his party for governor. For 10
years he represented Maryland on
the republican national committee.
Mr.. Gary's only public office was
that of postmaster general of the
United States. which he held for
time in the cabinet OF President Nc
Kinley.

Final on Daylight Saving.

| Omaha, Oct. l9.--To the Editor
| of The Bee: After my articles on
| the subject Of about Daylight Saw
ing" were published in the Omaha
papers l took it upon myself to send
copies to members of congress and
advanced the view that If the day
light system was submitted to a vote
of the farmers Of the country that
they would vote ii out of existence
by overwhelming majorities. The
producers of food should have more
to say about it than the consumers,
and when the farmers are very much
opposed to the system it should be
repealed altogether. Il sent copies
of my articles on the subject to
about 80 members of congress, and
most of those who replied said they
are in favor Of reTlal of this. law.
| also sent a copy to Mr.. Baruch,
the head of war industries in the city
Of Washington. and told him |
hoped his fad law would be knocked
out, and now | see that II will go out
of existence on October 81. and all
the farmers of the country and all
people of older years are more than
glad to see the law die
1t is hard work for people Of older
years to change their sleeping hours,
and it is hard work for most people
who labor to go to bed in the sum-
mertime at 10 o'clock under the new
system, when it is really 9 o'clock.
and is hardly dark yet. and the hot
air has scarcely cooled enough for
most people to sleep so early. 1t

in knocking out system that was
extremely irksome to most people
of older years
I like to see the sun shining at

5 O'Clock and call it O'Clock. There
are plenty Of subjects of importance
for members of congress to consider
without taking up time with fad
laws. FRANK "A. AGNEW.
