LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Penalty shouldn't Be Necessary.

MT. Editor: The main point that I tried to bring out In my previous letter was that the people of today do not obey the laws as they should and that by going against our state Legislatures ruling in regard :o standard time is really establishing a poor precedent. Is 1t not? In answer to Da-lite's question: Did you ever have your clock 15 minutes fast or slow? My answer is.: I hay.s three or four clocks in my home and I consider it an unusual happening # either one is running at all, say nothing of whether they are fast or slow. Now, MT. Da-lite if you want tc do what is legal, go to work an hour earlier If you so desire, but for goodness sake let the clocks alone. You are a5so- lutely wrong in the th4ory that just be- cause there. is no penalty fol aisobeylng tilis law that it can be broken more readily. Now the iaw sho'.sd be lived up to in my opinion regardless of pen atty.
 am proud that the farmer does have something to say In regard to law rnak- ing, for goodness knows lat would happen to them if they had no say. In making the remark about farmers and retired men running the legislature In 1921, do you know that in the senate there were only two farmers, one market gardener, and one retired per- son, out of thirty-five. I'll tell you the day that the farmers In Connecticut go on strike will show whether they amount | to much or not
 fully agree with you in the fact that great improvement cold be made ln | the enforcement of the prohibition law | but prohibition is young yet, really ir l its first infancy. When It grows up which have all hopes that 1t will theI someone will get 1t and get it hard. The people selling beer or drinking booze to. | day will get It sometime and 1t will no be so far off either, I'm thinking. Buf really, the conditions in Jewett City ari So much improved in regard to llduoi l selling that very little Is said or don't In regard to same. Of course we al realize that liquor Is being sold but be
 fore prohibition there was some sold. too yes. and then some. The anti-prohibi tionists claim that there is more booz sold now than ever berofe. Well. i there Is. what in the world are they kick l Ing about. But of course we know tha l there is not as much sold.

The recent drought in England goes to prove that trees introduced Into that country from warmer clifnes, though they may have been introduced there hun dreds of years ago and are thoroughly acclima4ized. still retain the power of Wtthstandine conditions once familiar to them.

Respect the Majority

MT. Editor: Whatever in the world Is coming over G. Warren Davis. He had his chance to vote at the town meeting just like the rest of us. It was a legal meeting and legal voters voted on the question and the majority was in favor of it. We know the majority was only two and I suppose had it been the other way, Mir. Davis would have ''balked" at calling another meeting for legal voters MT. Davis. each and every one of us had just the same chance to vote this year as last year. Last year you won for stand ard time by 17wotes, believe. and we the daylight savers respected the majority, sc for every ones sake take 1t in the same spirit as we took 1t last year.
