DAYLIGHT SAVING SAVED,

The Presidential veto proved a welcome saviour for the Daylight Saving plan which has been in oper- ation in the United States since the war as an emergency measure. The attempt to pigeonholc it made by the farm faction in the House. proved a failure, thanks to cooperation, ir- respective of party lines,l when the Agricultural Bill was brought up for passage over the Presidents veto. It now appears that there will be no further effort to kill the plan for 3 year or so to come, which will insure that the clocks will be set ahead an hour next year as they have been this.
 The need for the agricultural ap- propriation- which was carried in the
 same bill as the repeal rider and
 which was due July 1 is very great and it is the individuals from the rural districts who have themselves
 to blame for the delay in obtaining funds. If they had not taken it upon
 themselves to tack on a rider which affected everyone and which was out
 of place in the Agricultural Bill, their act would have been passed. Now it
 must be freed of it's obnoxious rider and sent back to the House for con- sideration and passage The lesson
 was taught here. The practice of lacking riders onto irrelevant acts
 has been the cause of delay in getting government money for perfectly war
 ranted use. It is doubtful if it Was thoroughly driven home. There should be greater discretion used by all committees in adopting legislation l which does not directly concern them At the time of the original passa ge of the Agricultural Bill it is doubtful that there were other than a few congressman who were directly inter- ested in farming legislation in the House. The average representative, knowing that the bill was up and not having any interest in it, proba bly, stayed at home. He was unaware ] that the Daylight Savings plan was to
 be considered at all. Naturally it
 was passed as had been planned from , the first-rider and all The indif- ference of the representatives who had municipalities at heart is to be

deplored. They should have been present to voice their opinion of the rider But there is large amount @of necessary legislation passed in which the majority are uninterested beNond knowing that the country de- mands it. Consequently, they do not vote on it. It's adoption is assured
 At such times the committees have immense opportunities to slip in ir- relevant and important matters which may be forgotten or ignored and adopted. This practice should be stopped. It is contrary to the public will and is, therefore, class legislation of a vicious sort, obtained in an underhandeu manner.

 ALLEN AS INSPECTOR.

The King is dead; long. live the |ISAngt." New Britaia lost aefaithful <pu blic %servant when it received the
 sesig ignation of Building Inspector
 4Arshurss ssN. Rutherford; it will be 1given another when John w. Allen .takes up the vacated post. MT. 38llen's record, in business and poli- &tics, tends to give us the impression < that he will do the city proud i'll his new position. He is unfettered by 4any particular interest and should act with unprejudiced judgment upon the 3naany cases which are bound to arise
 in the year of building activity which
 is coming.
 Mayor. Quigley has exercised excel 2lent judgment in picking a man as
 Building inspector who has grown up
 with New Britain; he has given 9 Thought to the individuals who have
 the best interests of the city at heart.
 Aff Allen, having been in business
 here all of his life, having witnessed
 the erection of all of the larger
 buildings and having been an active .citizen, should understand the needs 7 Of the community and it's pride in Itself. This u2derstandins, coupled ! with knowledge of the building trade, lis the ideal recomme mendation for the 1 post.
 He takes up the reins-or will take Iup the reins-with several difficult propositions upon his hands. The Invasion of business into the residen- ltial section-two examples of which I've have already seen in the question of garages-will continue There will I be a fight between the real estate Iagents and the home owners to keep 1some districts inviolate from factories land garages. The construction to &come will make this situation acute.
 Much building of a semi-publjc na-
 ture must be done and it will take &aiplomat to decide upon the proper
 sites for factories and so forth, at the game time keeping all factions sttis- &fed

DECISIONS ON LIQUOR.

Until Congress adopts some defni- tion of liquor and the percentage of alcohol that makes it intoxicating, we are still at sea upon the subject. There was tendency in the House at a recent session to consider the modern two and threc-quarters beer intoxicating. However, this definition has not been legally adopted yet. When it is, there will be one less diff ficulty in the liquor question.
 Three courts have acted upon the sale of two and three-quarters per cent. beer and two of them have held that it is not a violation of the law to handle that beverage, while an other has found that it is and has held the offender until November under bonds of $1,0O0.
 The three test cases were tried in New Orleans, Boston and Pittsburgh, and it was in the latter city that the dealer in beer was held. In New Or
 
 the defendants to upheld their con- tentions that they were not violating the Wartime Pfohibition Law were sustained.
 In two out of three courts, the drought, as it affects beer, has been drowned upon by Federal judges, but this does not alter the fact that "a conviction is possible in the third case. Of course, it's essentials remain to be heard, but the action of the court will proba bly, be binding and a. precedent for any cases which might follow. Congress has the reins in it's hands and may make a posi- tive, binding decision before the case is heard again. There is uncertainty in the ranks at the present time, but no doubt but that we will have pro- hibition-and strict prohibition eventually.

 The failure of the Dempsey Will lard fight to come up to expectations as business venture as well as spectacle is now disclosed by the official figures of the prom oters. In stead of S0.O00 spectators there were exactly 19.650 who paid their way into the arena. Instead of receipts of s1,ooo,ooo, there was less than half of that taken in.s Af3 Ter paying the government tax tae Toledo charity fund, the cost of construc- tion and the s127,oOO that went to the two fighters, the promoters req lized less than S1OO.0O0.
 They may consider that it paid, even so, although their profits were but a fractional part of what they expected The significant thing, how ever, is that they completely over estimated the intelfcst of the public, There was no overwhelming rush of the common peSple to buy seats at s1O or s15 a seat. Their interest was not that high: This must not rashly be taken as an indication that popular interest in prize fighting is on the vane. It is probab bly, an in- dication of harA times and poor business judsmentA on tho part of and estimating th3 crowd that could be expected al T(ledo.

ton workers than there is in any other Industry. The cutting off of supplies is tantamount to closing up shop-not one shop, every one.
 As for the sympathy strike" of deep sea men, engaged in carrying goods from ono side of the ocean to tho other, it excites the curiosity of the average man, who will be at a loss to account for it. Surely, the countryman Of the British and She Scandinavian sea farer is better able to benefit by his labor than the United States mariners are from hlS quitting: Food is Supposedly scarce abroad and one would think that there was enough regard for the peo- pic at home, possibly the families at homo, for the seam en to keep at work in order to relieve them sas much as possible,s We doubt very much if the foreign workers will quit in any nunla bers It must be that they realize the fact mentioned above and it is doubtful if unionism and regard for the American scamcn will cause a wholesale strike when there is no ac- tual occasion for it beyond tho possi- ble benefits to the U. $.

Business Outlook.
(NeW York Herald.)

Business is not usually very active in dog days, but this season seems to be an exception. Trade and industry appear to be gathering unusual mo- mentum, according to all reports, and business seems to be starting out for a record breaker in the last half of 1919. M fetal industries arc showing signs of unusual activity and building is looking up all over the country.
 The restoration of peace and the feeling that prices, although high, will be fairly steady at least for six months have in a large measure re- stored confidence and activity. The crops are immense and the farm CTS arc in good financial condition. The larbe number of smaller industries are already feeling the relaxation of doubt and fear and arc responding to the steadily increasing demand. This will mean moro employmen ent for labor, which in turn will increase tho pur- chasing power of the masses If the president and congress will lift the war ban at once demands from Eu- rope can be rapidly supplied Alto gether the outlook for business is ex ceptionally good.

Sidc-Trackin@ America in the Ali

(NcW York WOrld)
 Commander Reads achievement in first spanning the Atlantic with a heavier than-air machine made no impression upon Congress. Captain Alcocks following feat of crossing without a stop made no impression these epoch making performances that Congress cut the aviation appro- priation for the American military service down from 29,0O0,OO0 asked to S5O,OOO,O0O.
 Is the wonderful pioneer voyage over the Atlantic of lighter-than- air machine also to make no impress sion upon Congress-? This is an un- dcrtaking Of the British government through the air ministry It's main purpose is the continued development by experiment and trial of airplanes as military arm of the government, and there is tho most important sec Ondary purpose of dem monStrating their mmcrcial uses at the same time. The war had taught Great Britain as it had taught France that aVia ton has become an indispensable branch of a modern military estab- lishment and is still only in the first stages of development.
 Has the war taught nothing of this to the United States Congress? Ap- parently. It's appropriations for the air service reveal the learning of no lesson from the war and no imagina- ton for what is possible from con- tinung application of what the war taught. No interest is shown in keeping up the American end of this cumulative progress among the na,- tons in new manifestation of mans power over the forces of nature; no pride in keeping the Army and Navy equipped to lead in this inspiring de- Vclopmcnt.
 This does not represent the feeling of the nation in tho matter. The country which was tho first to tra- verse the air with mechanical power must not be side-tracked at this stage of the game.

THE SHIPPING SITUATION,

Serious consequences are threat l ened in the strike of marine workers on coastwise steamers which has been in progress for some little time. I esterday orders were issued fort g. general walkout of members of the engineers crews, water-tenders, fire men and oilers, and simultaneously came the word that a "sympathy strike" of deep sea workers from British and Scandinavian ships had taken place on this side of the water. LongshoremenkA kAre also reported to be on the verge .sof quitting work. h. terstate transpprtaton by water has already been interfered with. to a certain extent land it appears as if foreign trade might be. the next to be affected.
 The same cpnditions obtain as one usually finds in strike of any de- seription. as Far as ascertaining the actual hgyfes of strikers and those who haTe remained at work. The entisro.~hum Der of seamen is not out Tive may be sure of that; also, We may be satisfied that there arc d certain been tied up. Both the officials of American steamship companies and the strike leaders are running true to form and one is claiming that there are no serious tieups as yet, while the other says that there are. Figures are not obtainable, but it is obvious that freight is accumulating along the water front in New York and other ports in an unwarranted manner. It remains for the ongshoremen- ] the freight put a final quietus upon the efforts to move goods
