GET READY

Quite probably the opponents of daylight saving were astonished that so many people would vote in favor of adopting daylight saving time as the referendum in Waterbury disclos- ed The majority of the 15,o00 votes cast, while not tremendous was suf- ficient to show that most of those who voted favored it. The matter is men toned merely as another of the indi- cations that, where a chance has been given to ascertain public opinion, the progressive idea has prevailed,
 Tn this city the factories have gone on record, now, as intending to con- duct their affairs in harmony with the railroads, the trolley company and the merchants. All the people have to do now is to get ready to give an added punch to each day by using that hour during which some of us have already been waiting to go to work, unable to do so despite the bright sunlight, because things were not open yet"
 Incidentally 1t might be said that merchants, for instance, do not do things the people do not want. They try to fit their hours to the convent ence of customers. It is their business to serve the people as well as they can, and they study public tastes and wishes in order to do that little thing. They are going to use the daylight be- cause their customers want them to use it. They are going to open their stores earlier because the people will be convenienced by it. One wonders what opponents of daylight saving time would say if the merchants took this antagonistic stand and refused to open their stores until an hour af- ter the business of this part of the country had begun each morning?
 So, Sunday morning at ? o'clock we will take new hold on life and go about our business when nature tells us to get busy.

HARDING AND TEHIPLETON

President Harding and Governor Templeton appear to be in somewhat similar positions at the moment al- though that situation is brought about by very different matters. The Presi- dent has taken a stand apparently displeasing to some of his party lead CTS in the matter of the world court. The Governor has recently made re- marks which did not reflect the greatest approval of some of the party
 leaders in the state.
 If surface indications might be con- sidered as final, it might be said that both the President and the Governor have been asserting themselves--and people of this country rather like to see independence displayed.
 But the trouble is, both in the case of the President and the Governor, there is some doubt as to the pro- priety of judging by such surface in- dications. The Presidents speech about the world court inspires some who comment upon it to say that he has swung world court opponents into line others declare tho speech did not move such opponents at all. The mo- tive is the interesting phase. Will the President stick to this stand no matter if harmony is not brought about by his declaration in favor of the world court? Will Governor Terpleton gradually alter the impression his talk about the legislators made?
 Opposition to the entrance of the United States into the world court comes chiefly from a group within the Republican party. It Is believed the people of the country favor it, with the exception of this group. Opposi- ton to destroying of the power of the Republican state machine as now con stituted comes, of course, from the machine itself. As democrats through out the country, and, it is believed, majority of the Republicans favor our entry in the world court, so all the people in this state who recognize the political conditions favor a greater in- dependence in this state.

'EX.JUSTICE CLARKE
 IN FAVOR 0F COURT
Endorses Harding's Proposal for
 U. s. Membership

Chicago. April 26--President Hard ing's proposal for the United Stats1 to become a member of the world court of justice was endorsed today by John H. Clarke, former justice of the supreme court in an address be- fore the city club. He declared the proposal should be adopted by the senate by vica voce without debate.
 Former Justice Clarke who appear ed as representative of the league of nations non-partisan association said that only small group of senators opposed the world court some saying it had too much power others that 1t had too little power and athleast one because he held it to be "the off, spring of the league of nations.

EMPLOYING AN EXPERT"

There appears to be so much mys- tery about the alleged plan of the school survey committee to get an out-of town architect who has spe- cialized on school construction, to ex- anime plans of schools erected here and to explain new types of school construction in use elsewhere, that the matter is somewhat difficult of dis cussion. Enough has been said about it to inspire bit of surprise that the plan should be considered. It was sup posed that the survey committee had the word "economy" close to it's heart. Some people have wondered, being ignorant, of course of all the facts, where the survey committee is going to get the money to pay for an "ex- pert from New York to perform this service.
 The good that would come from harmony between the survey commit tee and the school committee has been here emphasized It would appear that recently there has been more of this pleasant characteristic than for merly between the school committee this sort do not tend to bring greater harmony. When all is said and done the school committee decides what it wants. It's members are elected by the people and are trusted with mak- ing the provisions proper for educat- ing the children of the city. The school committee endeavors to keep posted on the modern school con- struction'' through technical periodi calls which come to it regularly In the light of information thus gained and from its special Knowledge the school committee tells the architect which is to prepare plans for the schools, just what it wants to meet local demands and the architect makes his plans in accordance with the wishes of our school committee, just as a man tells the architect what kind of a house he wants. That is all there is to it.
 Architects might differ, of course, as to the best means of planning a building to meet the wishes of the school committee, and the New York ..expert" may, and probably would, suggest what he would consider im provements in such plans The New Britain architects still dare to hold to their opinion, nevertheless. All the architectural knowledge in the world is not confined to New York City New Britain has bit of it as it has bit of other knowledge.
 To the innocent and somewhat ig- norant ystander-'ignoran because the survey committees plans are be- ing kept secret--it would seem as | though the plan is to bring man rom New York for the purpose of

FOREST PROTECTION

We are in the middle of the week designated as Forest Protection Week" The President has issued a proclamation calling upon the gov ernors of the various states to em- phasize it's observance and asking citizens, teachers, officers of public in struction. commercial institutions and the press to unite in thought and ef- fort flor the preservation of the na- tion's forest resources by conducting appropriate exercises and programs and by publishing information per- taining to the waste from forest fires and ways of preventing or reducing such losses, in order that our forests may be conserved for the inestimable service of mankind"
 The proper use to be made of q week" designated for this or any other good purpose is not to use up all energy in thinking of tho matter during those seven days, but rather to realize that the question is of enough importance to call for a proclamation by the President and to devote time to a consideration of the conditions which give the matter it's significance. The woodlands of this state, Connecti- cut, are especially in need of protec- ton as statistics show that the aver through fire is nine time as great as in New England as a whole. The most the protection the necessity of which

court one that somehow-''no one has yet formulated how" he asserted- such participation would carry the nation into the league of nations. As an experienced lawyer he said he was sure the proposed reservations would prevent any relations with the league.
 T wish our government could see its way clear to join wholeheartedly and without reservation in the sup port of this great court" he said but since the administration refuses to act without reservations I hope they will be accepted by the senate and that to this extent our country may be proved to have been sincere in it's fifty years of professed desire for such a court, aud thus keep it. self right with the civilized nations of the world" t@-s E3*st
 The second objection he continued was the assertion that Great Britain would have six votes and the United States if member, would have but one, and also in the league council in which Great Britain would have but one vote and the United States if member but one.
 Ridicules Objection.
 This objection rests wholly upon the base unworthy assumption that the representatives of these great friendly commonwealths would cor ruptly combine with the minor coun- tries to corruptly elect corrupt judges to render corrupt decisions. for this is what the insinuation really means
 Even if that were true, he asserted, it would result either in the immedl- ate destruction of the court or the plot would fail. But, he continued the judges of the court are nominated by the representatives of the nations in The Hague arbitration tribunal of which the United States has long been a member and then are elected by the league of nations. He pointed out that the judges must have clear major- ity in both the assembly of the league in which Great Britain would have six votes and the United States, if a but one.

BUSINESS COMES FIRST

Angry as the British government was at the execution of Monsignor Butchkavitch, head of Roman Cath olicism in Russia, on a charge of con- spring against soviet rule, it's de- cided to keep the British trade mis- sions at Petrograd and Moscow.
 At first the London foreign office planned to break all relations with the Bolsheviki. It changed its mind, upon representations from big busi- ness interests that they didn't want to lose Russian trade.

TROUBLE IN ITALY

Premier Mussolini's Fascist gov ernment in Italy is having trouble.
 The Fascist came into power, vir- tually by revolution, as enemies of radicalism. Now there's talk of a counter-revolt. Mussolim takes it seriously enough to have forced four of his own cabinet members to quit. He has warned the Fascist that stronger measures than ever are nec- essary to keep the radicals down.
 His supporters are quoted as de- claring his overthrow would mean communism.

 An injunction against the specula- tors has been asked. If it sticks, in- functions against speculators in other kinds of food may be sought, too.
