DAYLIGHT SAVING

(To the Editor.) Sir, —The decision of the Select Committee in reference to the Daylight Saving Bill inferred that these men were considering the interests of Government Departments only and not the interests of the majority of the population. Do the railways exist for the people or vice versa? I consider an indignation' meeting should be called in each city protesting strongly at the attempted political frustration of such a unanimously desired measure for securing move sunshine. Among many others, I and my family benefitud immensely by the after-work hour of recreation. The country resident suggests that his town cousin should rise an hour earlier. The beginning of the day carries its duties for all members of the family, ami it is only when the work of the day is ended that one can really cast care aside and enjoy the desired recreation. As a visitor to England I was first introduced to the effect of daylight saving, and saw the great benefits derived from this measure. Other countries have had the same difficulties to face ■as our politicians, but have not found them insurmountable. The old adage, "Where there's a will there's a way," may be still good advice to the supporters.-—I am, etc., THE MAJORITY RULES.
