DAYLIGHT SAVING.
When Mr. W. S. Glenn, ex-M.P.' for Rangitikei, was met by Reform Party supporters at Marion, and Avas presented Avith a handsome silver tray in recognition of his services in Paliament, he had something to say concerning his activity in opposing the Daylight Saving Bill. “I took up that stand because I felt it my duty in the fawning interests,” s'aid Mr. Glenn, “and no one gave it more study than I did. 1 Aveut through railway graphs night after night and I felt that no matter how small an injustice was being done to a few individuals, it was not fair. I cotalpromised on the half-hour simply because of the ensuing light, time after time, and I thought that after all we had been a bit selfish. As far as the halfhour is concerned, I think, now that it has not hurt.” In conclusion, Mr. Glenn said that the objection now seemed to be that some farmers wanted the half-hour all the year round, while some city people wanted it only in summer time.
