Sioux City. June 6.-Beceipts of
southern stockers swelled today's ar

supply was moderate, the estimate
calling for 1900 head.
For the best grades of fat cattle
there was a broad demand. while the
call for the plain and medium sorts
was narrow. which resulted in an un-
even market, strong to as much as i
dime lower.

CURRENT COMMENT
Favors Miles for Supreme Bench.

Since Justice Munson is not TO be
candidate for election TO the bench of the
supreme court of Vermont in the next
legislature, what good reason is there
why w. w. Miles of Barton, chief justice
of the superior court of Vermont, should
not become member of that bench. lie
has been a justice of the superior court
for several years, and his ability is not
questioned. The custom OF seniority stu
holds sway in the matter OF court ad-
vaneements in Vermont, and Mr.. Miles
is. in the matter of seniority, the first
to be considered The Monitor is sur
prised to see members OF the Vermont
press mentioning men for this position
who have had no judicial experience.
Some of these same editors were incensed
when Governor Fletcher shook the Yer
mont courts up bit by ignoring senior
ity claims, and when the legislature met,
IL Immediately fixed things all up mice
and regular" according to seniority
claims. What right, pray, has any mere
editor to suggest outside candidates
The Monitor was not so averse TO the
breaking of seniority precedence when
there seemed to be cause for so doing,
but no one has advanced a single reason
why Chief Justice Miles should not be
advanced to place on the supreme court
bench. The Monitor has not consulted
Judge Miles, but believes he will be a
candidate before the legislature for a
place on the supreme court bench. His
ability for service and his seniority all
point to Justice Miles as the logical man
for the position Barton Monitor

Plea for Randolph School.

The report of the trustees of the state
school of agriculture brings the subject
of agricultural education prominently be-
fore the people of the state There seems
to be some question in the minds OF the
trustees regarding the advisabillty oil
continuing the Randolph institution.
The Monitor is no authority on the ques-
ton, but does believe the Randolph
school is rendering service to the state
in the matter of agricultural education
that no other school is doing, not even
the Vail school at Lyndon. This insti-
tuition, tucked away on the hills at Ran
dolph Center comes nearer to keeping
the boys who go there contented with
Vermont and Vermont farms than any
other school the writer has visited. The
environment OF the Randolph school is a
Vermont environment. 1t tends to keep
the bows contented with practical agri-
culture. Everything surrounding them
is conductive to commencement, the lnstl-
tuition is scientific, practical and thor
ough. it savors of what the boy must go
home and grapple with. The community
Is typical agricultural Vermont com
munity, offering what other rural com
short the Randolph agricultural school
setting and its curriculum educates lts
students for Vermont instead OF away
from it, as larger schools sometimes do
and as high school agricultural courses
often do. The Monitor ventures the as
sertion that a greater percentage OF the
graduates of the Randolph school 60
back to Vermont farms than from the
Vail school or our Vermont high school
courses, and after all, that is what we
want.
If the state can afford to subsidize
these colleges, it can afford to continue
such splendid school as that at Ran
dolph-or better afford to cut down It's
appropriations to some of its mstitu-
tions of higher learning than to abandon

the United States government, as that
presumably is one OF the dangers which

United States would be required 20 de-
clare war on Germany. Nor would the
American people demand that war be de-

tions does not mean war; and the sever
ing of relations would be the limit OF
United States action, The administra-
ton has set up scare that does not

The people of Great Britain have by
no means felt the pinch of food shortage
that several of their enemies and few
of their allies have experienced. AT no
time since the outbreak of the war has
Great Britain been really forced to cur
tail the consumption of food because at
no time has really effective blockade of
British ports been accomplished, thanks
to the efficacy of the British fleet. So
now when the plan is made to reduce the
daily consumption of food more in accord
with the absolute requirements of the
body, the British people are inclined to
kick over the traces they feel their lib
critics being abridged because that stern
feature of war has not been brought to
them as it has been brought to Ger
many. The abridgement is sure to
arouse the fighting fury of the British
people-when they are forced to fight for
their stomachs and not entirely "on their
stomachs" as Napoleon used to charac-
terize it.

ARE WE NEAR WAR?

The Washington government mistakes
the temper of the American people at
the present time. Never since the out
break of the war have the American
people been less disposed to enter the con-
flict than they are right now. They have
seen two years and four months of
bloody combat pass by without the clear
necessity of their being drawn into the
maelstrom, and nothing has come up re-
Gently to change their viewpoint. To be
sure. there is always the hazard OF being
drawn into an unfortunate dispute with
one OF another of the various belligerents
because of the efforts of the United
States government to keep the fighters
within the bounds of international law;
but even such a dispute would not nee
essarily mean that the United States
would be forced to take up arms and go

and four months in getting around the
war problems. Why i there reason 70

Border Situation Costing Money.

1t looks as If Gen. Pershing and his
troops would stay in Mexico all winter.
They will surely not get out until the
middle Of February; and with March |,
spring will come again. Gen. Carranza' s
special representative will now travel
once more from Philadelphia TO Mexico
City with the unaltered terms of evacua-
ton fixed upon by the conference; and,
if Gen. Carranza should decide to sign
the protocol, the 40 days period to pre-
cede the withdrawal could not begin un-
til early in January. All this fussing
and running back and forth is worth
while, however, if it finally results in q
settlement conducive both to peace and
to progress toward order in Mexico. But
the border situation is still costing the

The withdrawal of French and British
military strategists from the Rumanian
army makes a melancholy confession of
the failure OF the effort to save Rumania
from the fate of Belgium and Serbia. 1t
is probable that the failure was due more
to the lack of heavy guns to match the
Teutons' rather than to any tactical
blunders on the part of the defenders of
the country. Rumania was not prepared
because the entente allies did not count
on such a smashing blow to be delivered
on little country that seemed out of
the way of the real fighting; yet the
Teuton plan of action was to make the
new ally hors de combat right at the
start, rendering it useless as a military
ally and making its resources to serve
the central powers. The Teutons turned
Rumania's breach of neutrality to their
own advantage through the slowness of
the entente.

In long, narrow pressed plaits, most Of
the sports skirts are cut faring and in
few cores. Their novel feature lies in
the pockets, ON which much personal
ingenuity is displayed. Pockets.
whether slashed or patch, are cut In
odd shapes. The crescent tops are one
of the favOrite outlines. The upper
edge will often have a tiny plating Of
a contrasting material. The belt. which
is of the same material generally. may
have this same plating along the edge
and buttons with as many as three
buttons. Sometimes pockets are
found in the belt. They are little
slashes which are often faced, as are
the up-to-date buttonholes, and are

ment that enters into the character"
that can be trained or cultivated. The
comparison between young children
and adults shows us that another diff
ference in their characters lies in the
comparative instability of the child's
likes or dislilses, and Of his standards
OF right and wrong. Beginning with
nearly direct imitation Of what he
sees his parents do, he comes In few
years to Imagine himself doing things
that he hears of others doing. When
he begins to read about the exploits
of great heroes he projects himself
into the characters of history or
legend. and for the time being he
lives in the character that Is upper
most in his interest. In this way he
absorbs from his immediate surround
ings and from his reading and asso-
ciates the ideals and principles that
will give stability and color to his con-
duct-that Is. his character.
