A PERIOD OF CRITICISM.

while this country was preparing for
or actually at war criticism of the gov.
eminent was not favored. Many mis-
take and failure was passed in silence
because it was felt criticism and pub.
licity would weaken the administration
in its great and difficult work. Since
the armistice was signed there has been
change and even members of the par.
ty in power are openly criticising what
they consider to be the failings of the
administration
All of us are familiar with the crit.
cism of the President for going abroad.
Two strong Republican senators have
criticised his scheme for world league
of peace and are said to have a follow
ing among their fellow senators that
may later cmbarass the President in
his peace treaty.
Postmaster General Burleson has been
severely criticised for taking over the
cables after the armistice had been
signed. 1t is stated by one senator
that he knows the date on the order
signed by the President was changed
from Nov. IA to November ., to make
it appear that the government had
acted before the signing of the arm
isticc. Mr.. Burleson denies this, but
has not made it clear that the taking
over of the cables was legitimate wal
measure.
Perhaps the most singing criticism
has been made more recently by Sen
ator Chamberlain of Oregon, Democra
and chairman of the senate committee
on military affairs, on the war depart
ment. He declares the department il
as poorly prepared to care for tn,
sick and wounded soldiers returning
from France as it was to get into the
fighting when war was declared. HI
says there are not enough hospitals tC
properly care for these unfortunat,
men. We all know that inadequate
preparation for paying the soldiers anc
their dependents has been made anc
much suffering has resulted, also that
the reporting of the casualties is dis
gracefully delayed.
1t is always easier to critcisc an
other than it is to perform his tasks
better than he, but criticism Otter
leads to Improvement and we hope the
present period of criticism will lcat
to better care and more prompt pay
ment of the men who have fought ouI
battles at the front in France
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1919-01-03

1t is distressing to learn through the
testimony of Mr.. Joslyn, deputy in the
state auditor office, at the trial of
Bank Commissioner Williams, charged
with malfeasance in Office, that he
called Mr. Williams's attention to a
shortage in the accounts of State Au'
ditor Graham as far back as 1912. This
tends to show that state officials have
known for six years of these Irregular
ties and kept the facts hidden from the
public; that Mr.. Graham despite his
knowledge came Lefore the people of
the state and secured highest honor the
state could give him and his satellites
shielded and protected him. 1t is a
staggering blow to the confidence of the
people in their state officials. But we
all want the full truth made public
and every state official in any degree
responsible for present conditions re-
moved from public Office and properly
punished. If knowledge of the facts
will lead to the reinstatement of an
honest state government it will be an
airing of public life worth all it costs
in wounded pride and humiliation.

Speaking of building operations in the southeast the Industrial Index of Colum- bus, Ga, says
 Tt is not question as to whether building will be continued into the winte in large volume in the southeast. It is being done. Week after week the columns of the Industrial Index have reported a large amount of construction in the ag- gregate, including public and private buildings and public improvements. The number of important construction con- tracts that are being awarded will pro- vide much work for immediately after the first of the new year, and bids are being received on much more, including in few instances, some of the largest structures of the kind to be erected in the southeast in a number of years.

 Approximately one-third of the area and population of the United States is in the south. Of the south's white popu- lation only about per cent is foreign born, compared with the rest of the coun- try. which has over T per cent of it's people born outside of the United Stats. About one-eighth of these foreigners are illiterate and the majority of them are alien to our ideals and institutions.
 The south has three-fifths of the coast line of the country, one-quarter of the country's estimated coal reserve, one- third of the iron ore reserve and seven tenths of the forested area
 It is estimated that the south's coal reserve lis about 550oOO, ,O0o, 900 tons. which is more than is found in all of Europe and six times as much as Great Britain's supply.

 This steel moved down the Warrior river about two weeks ago, having been sent by rail to Tuscaloosa, and there loaded onto barges.
 AS soon as the terminals are completed at Biryningport steel and other commodi- ties from this district intended for ship ment by way of the Warrior will be han dled at Birminghams own port, which is now under construction.
 Coal production has increased during the last two o~ three weeks to figures closely approaching those that prevailed in 1918, and the indications now are that the 1920 output of the mines in the Bir- mingham district will equal that of 1sl5 the record year.
 There are now about 25 pig iron fur naces in blast and reports state that two or three others will be blown in early in the new year. Pig iron is now selling in Birmingham at $36, the minimum price,
