The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-12-12

Our form of government is such that
it is liable at any time to get us into
difficulty with foreign governments.
Years ago, when there was the riOting
in New Orleans by which some of the
Malta gang were killed, who were Ital-
ian subjects, Italy had right to de-
mand protection for its citizens. But
our national government took refuge
behind the fact that the matter was
within the jurisdiction of the state gov
eminent and that the national govern
ment could not interfere. Now Italy has
Il grievance against Arizona because of
the law that so per cent of certain en-
ployes shall be citizens of the state.
Italy complains that there is discrimin-
alton against Italian subjects, in con-
tradiction with the treaty between the
United States and Italy. Under our
constitution, treaties are a part of SUI
preme law of the land and it is to be
expected that treaty rights are para
mount to state rights. These cases oil
friction are inevitable under our gov
eminent. but every state ought to un
| derstand that the United States treat
| les override state laws.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-12-12
Where the Money Goes.
burlington Free Press.)

The state of Vermont during the
fiscal year 1914 expended $326,lS4 for
her entire educational system and
1919, 564 for her deficient and criminal
classes. .....- .
For the deaf and dumb ,067 was
paid, $160,537 was the gross cost of the
criminal department, and the insane
cost the taxpayers of Vermont S1S2,-
900.
This, We think, shows very impress
sively what an enormous burden the
defective and criminal classes entail on
the state.
Of the total educational expenditures
Sl0l,l00 went to the three colleges and
$225,0S4 to primary and secondary ed
ucation.
Our courts cost more this year than
ever before. The total is $3SS,056. the
largest sum on the record. Ten years
ago, in 1904, the. cost was $266,354
There has therefore been an increase
of $121,702, or nearly 90 per cent in
the ten years.
All these figures are based on those
given in the annual report of the state
auditor just published, but the compu
tations are our own and the auditor is
not TO be held responsible for them.
Now, in the face of the hardest win
ter that Vermont has known in many
a year, the question is, what is the leg
islature going to do about 1T?

The fate OF the four big German
warships offsets that of the two British
winch were sunk recently by these
which have now themselves gone to the
bottom. 1t makes Great Britain rejoice.
But it is terrible thing to think of
sending 200Q men to the bottom of the
ocean because their rulers have mot
sense enough to fix up their quarrels
some other way. And those 1000 are a
negligible number compared with the
hundreds of thousands that are going
TO death on land.

something good-in him.. and he has in
stituted reforms with a view to APP
pealing to the better side of the pris-
oners. His customs have resulted in
making the men better physically and
morally. The prisoners at their mid
day meal are allowed to talk freely
with each other. The heads of the pris
oners are no longer shaved. The Sun
day dinner is made the most abundant
of the week. Paroles are extended
literally and of the men liberated on
probation So per cent have made good.
Sick and tubercular prisoners are Civ
en- opportunity for two or three hours
of exercise in the prison yard. That the
prisoners are in good health is shown
by the fact that the death rate is less
than seven, to the thousand. The prison
maintains fine orchestra of 1G pieces,
and from the library of 1000 volumes
each prisoner is allowed two books Il
week, and the habit of reading is en-
couraged. The wardens of other prisons
ought to go to Weathersfield to study
the methods in vogue there. When they
came back they would have more cause
than ever before to remember that the
prisoners are human beings, and that
while imprisonment is inflicted fol
the protection of society, there is also
thought of regenerating the individ
ual, and of making hint useful and
self-supporting citizen after + he has
paid the penalty of his mistake OF
| crime. -.-s.
