Not saying word for or against
daylight saving, but aren't some Of
our city councilmen taking little
stubborn stand on this proposition
when they continue voting against it ?
Especially is this true when one con
siders that the whole city, with the
exception of the city departments, is
running under the new time. The
Press doesn't pretend to say that the
majority favor daylight saving, but
the fact remains that at least 80 per
cent, yes, and more than that, are
now ruling themselves or being ruled
by the new time, whether they like it
or not, and there is no sense in. max
ing bad situation worse; that is, if
one wants to look on it as bad situ-
alton, by stubbornly sticking to the
road first started on. The manufact-
urers said we start on the new time
Monday, set your clocks ahead; and
what could the workers do? The
board of education said it won't do
for daddy to come to dinner dinner,
mind you, not lunch) at one hour and
the kiddies at another. This started
nine or ten thousand more on the new
time. Middletown told the county
commissioners they wanted the court
house run on the new time, and since
what Middletown says goes with the
county commissioners, the clock in the
court house tower, long regarded as
the city's official timepiece, was set
an hour ahead The banks said in
order to conform with the time adopt
ed in other cities and so that we will
be in position for transacting business
with the financial institutions of those
cities, we go on the new time The
physicians said if we want to be i'll
and want their services we must ar
range it according to the new time
as that is the way they are going to
work this summer, and so on down
the line. So that, whether we like it
OF. not, make it as pleasant and con-
venient for ourselves as we possibly
can and not be stubborn abou it.
We may not like it but we can't stay
away from it this summer; it is here
and to stay, and we might just as
well do as the man said to his visitor
q don't like your company but since
you are here hang up your hat and
stay awhile" Are We fer or aginst?

YOUR BUSIN ESS

The business of the union is the
business of its members. This bust
ness is transacted at the union meet
ings, 1t is at the union meetings that
its laws are enacted, its officers in
structed and decisions made that de-
termine the policy OF the organization
on every question that comes before it.
The union meetings are open forums
for all members who wish to be heard
Every member who has a proposition
to offer, a complain to make, or any
thing to present within the realm of
propriety is free to express himself
at the union meeting, and he will be
given a respectable hearing and the
decision of the members on the mat
ter he submits
The meeting is the place for union
business. 1t is the only place where
union business can be determined. If
members who do not attend meetings
find fault with the action of those who
do attend they have no just cause
for complaint, for they have done
nothing to try to change this action
On the other hand, if members at
tend meetings and are not successful
IN having the majority support their
particular views, they are not justi-
fled in becoming embittered and work
ing at cross purposes. Majority rules
and every right-spirited person be
lieves in that principle.
Most members who complain Of the
action of union, or the action of its
officers when carrying out the instruc-
tions of the union, are either those who
do not attend union meetings, or hav-
ing attended do not express them
selves, or having expressed themselves
have not been able to win the majority
to their viewpoint Each of these
classes of members fails to realize one
of these three simple facts:
% That the business of the union
IS decided at its meetings.
GU That to influence the action of
union meeting member should ex-
press himself at the meeting and take
part in its deliberations.
(3) That majority rules in union
meetings and that every good unionist
submits to the majority's will. When

CAR LINES
Become Property of Detroit
City

Detroit, Mich.-By an approximate
vote of $4,000 to 10000 this city au-
thorized the purchase of TIA miles of
track owned by the Detroit united
railway With the trackage goes the
campany's real estate and equipment.
When the transfer is made the city
will own every inch of street railway
track in the city and will be the own
er of the largest municipal street car
! line in the world.
At an election in April, two years
ago, the voters approved the issue of
bonds in the sum of $15,000,000 to
build and operate street railway.
With this money 60 miles of track was
laid, and operation began with $50
one-man safety cars and so cars of
the largest type These lines went
into districts where service was badly
needed and where the private company
refused to make extensions.
i The recent election approved a bond
issue of $4,00O,000. A cash payment
of $2,770,000 will be paid to the De
troit united railway, which will re-
ceive total of 19,850,000, the price
set by a board of arbitration. The
balance of the purchase price is to
be paid in semi-annual installments
of not less than $500,000 with inter
est at per cent on deferred pay
ments 1t is specifically understood
that these installments are to be paid
out of the earnings of the system.
The total cost of the system is $34,
850 900, of which $19,000,000 has beer
raised by bonds.

PROHIBITION TIE CAusE2

Governor Miller, of New York, re-
Gently made the statement that it was
the fast rate at which people are liy-
ing, everybody's desire to occupy an
orchestra seat in the show Of life,
and general disrespect Of law, bred
by violators of the prohibition act,
that are, in his opinion, the factors
chiefly responsible for the prevalence
OF crime in the Empire state.
There are a great many causes
for crime" the governor said. Pro
hibition law violation has had some
influence | wouldn't say it is one of
the chief causes, but the disrespect Of
law it has bred, is greatest among
the people who need the protection Of
the law the most"

the viewpoint of members in the mi
nority becomes the expression of the
majority, this viewpoint becomes the
decision of the union.
The business of the union is every
members business, and if a member
will not take care of his own busi-
ness there can be no force to his kick
if it doesn't go to suit him.

Gas is a poison used in warfare.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 7.-Rep-
resentative l. j., Dickinson has been
chosen by Gov. Kendall to succeed
Senator W. H. Kenyon, recently
named Federal judge Of the Eighth

discussed the appointment with
men high in Republican ranks in
the State. He is a leader in the
House agricultural bloc. favors the
soldiers bonus and volstead act,
and lives in the Northern district Of

As she was taken away, through

1t in one Of his fsvorite volumes in

Miss Minter is said to have been
so overcome by grief and shock that
she could not attend the funeral

reading of the bill. Representative
r. Walton Moore. Virginia, reiter-
ated his statement made earlier in
the debate that some different form
of procedure should be devised in
handling the affairs OF the District.
Representative Robert E. Evans,
Nebraska. explained the attitude of
the subcommittee in dealing with
the feature of the bill which pro-
vided for greater water supply
for the city.
He explained that the time of the
engineers making the survey had
been limited. and owing to Illness
tie army officer in charge Of the
work had been obliged to turn the
work over to another officer who,
for the same reason, had been
Obliged to withdraw.

POSITION it now occupies in a period
of a few years and should receive
more consideration before any ap.

Chairman Davis, of the subcom-
mittee in charge of the bill, con-
Cured with Evans. and suggested
that a legislStive committee, COM
posed Of members of the Senate
and the House,, should go thor
oughly into the matter before any
money is appropriated.
Representative James Mann; Ii1i-
nois, advanced the opinion that as
all seemed to be agreed that a new

pointed out that much time which
might be devoted 10 the needs OF

the House that constitutional

fered for District suffrage, and
advocated its passage
