A correspondent writing to the New
York Times does not agree that the
daylight saving law so vigorously up
held by President Wilson came to its
death by any political machination,
"but naturally, as did the decimal cal
endar once instituted for false econ
omy by the French Convention" Re-
minding the editor that the law was
passed as a war measure because it
was thought to be necessary to defeat
Germany, he continues, "As a matter
of fact the law was never necessary.
We could have beaten Germany equal
ly we'll without it." He also states
that he kept his watch lone hour slow
during the half year, as I prefer to
make the mental calculation necessary
to make it agree with lying time pieces
of the Government, rather than have
to surrender the inalienable right of
the sovereign individual and self-re-
spect of that earlier day when to be
a Roman was greater than to be a
king"

I'm Australia both Houses are elect
i've but the Governor-General is ap-
pointed by the King of England with

nulled by the King of England within

at is apparent from this summary
that in neither Japan nor Italy does
real democracy exist either in form
or fact. In Canada and Australia de-
mocracles exist in fact but not in law
1T is also apparent, from recent ad-
dresses and acts of the President, that
Mr.. Wilson looks upon the constitu-
tions of these countries as establish
ing ideal domocracies. He believes
the chief executive should have the
power to dictate laws, declare war,
conclude peace, and make treaties
without consultation with the legisla-
tive body. His action in several SEN
atorial elections proves thai he be-
lieyes the chief executive should
choose the members of the Upper
