CURRENT COMMENT
An Outside View Of Vermont Plan.

Governor Graham of Vermont is max
ing mistake in pushing a recommends-
tion to place the forestry department OF
that state in the hands OF commissioner
of agriculture, whose primary duty will
be as cattle commissioner. The plan
is opposed, and properly opposed, by
State Forester Halves, who Is disinter-
ested, for he is retiring to enter the serv-
ice of the United States government.
Under Mr.. Halves, the forestry service OF
Vermont has done a remarkable and
most beneficial service TO the state, Tree
from all political influence, and to put II
under a commissioner of agriculture
would undoubtedly make il an adjunct
Of politics and thus divert IL from its
proper purposes. What it want IL still
purely forester. and not a cattle com
missioner. Now that the forestry de-
partments Of the various states are be-
ginning to attract public attention, and
to Justify themselves by work Of the
highest economic as well as aesthetic
value. they naturally recommend them
selves to the political brethren as new
field for spoils appointments. II the peo-
pie permit them 20 be treated as such
hey viii very much regret il later on.
In no department Of the public service Is
here more earnest occasion for expert
work and for complete freedom from
polls considerations than in the forestry

Being quasi-state institution, the
Brattleboro retreat is, of course, subject
to state investigation and as such should
be gone over thoroughly to ferret out the
rumors which lie as the base of the some
what sensational complaints that have
had their public development in formal
resolution introduced in the Vermont leg
islature. Even if the institution were
nothing more than a private asylum
there would seem to be enough serious
ness about the complaints to warrant Of
fetal action by the states prosecuting
machinery, even at this late day. Yer
mont wants her institutions, both public
and private, to be conducted in a manner
beyond reproach.

Vermont Is threatening TO jump from
the condition of mind in which doubt was
expressed whether the state could sup
port two agricultural schools into the
mental attitude which declares that Yer
mont not only can support two schools
but should support several others Of like
nature. The latter proposition probably
represents merely the violent swinging
of the pendulum of sentiment as re-
action against the proposed curtailing Of
the present educational advantages along
agricultural lines and, undoubtedly when
the irritation subsidies reasonable mid
die course between the two extremes
mentioned viii be found. Vermont

The secretary OF the Honolulu Rifle

been fayorably acted upon by the local
department commander, United States
Army, and that the request has been
forwarded to the secretary OF war,
Washington, d. c., for final approval.
The club officers last night sent a
message to the secretary Of the Ma
tional Rifle Association requesting him
to secure as speedy action on the local
commanders Recommendation as Is
possible, considering the great amount
Of extremely important work now be-

Shoes that are strapped to the
ankles by strip of material to Initiate
q bracelet are gaining adherence
every month. This strap is fastened
with an imitation jewel or tiny paste

In kid as we'll as in satin. Their in.
production is said to be due to the
fact that the large number of French
women who are in this country are
exploiting them across the footlights
and at dances. They are readily &C.
ceptable by women, who, having mar
row heels, are constantly, subjected
to that annoyance OF having their low
shoes slip at the heel when they walk
and dance
And 1t really seems as If shoe
makers had only just begun to realize
that there is quite number of small
heeled women in. the. population for
whom the usual large-heeled boot or
shoe was Z source OF much discomfort.
In fact. there is one shop that makes
a specially OF young girls apparel
