WITHHOLD JUDGMENT.

The letter of Rear Admiral Sims criti-
Ching the conduct of the navy depart
ment during the late war has created
something of a sensation. 1t makes nee
essary full inquiry into the matter by
proper congressional authorities. But
the public will do wellto keep its head
until the matter has been thoroughly
probed. Only one side of the case has
been made public, that of subordinate
officer in touch with the allies during
the critical periods of the war. 1t is
true that Secretary Daniels has come to
the defense of the navy with general
statements Of its efficiency and glorious
record, but he has not let the public
know the why's and wherefores of the de-
partment's decisions, which he will prob
ably do before the senate inquiry ends.
That some of the acts of the depart.
ment are open to criticism is apparent
/ They always are in times of war wher
difference of opinion is sure to develop
between the responsible officers who have
had little or no experience in the con
duet of actual war It is also possible
to suggest better ways of doing a thins
after it has been actually accomplished
Then too it must be remembered tina
Rear Admiral Sims was guilty of indis
erection at dinner in London during tn
Taft administration, when he predicte,
that if England was attacked from with
out America would draw its last dro
OF blood in its defence, or words to tina
effect. His opinions during the late wa
may have been warped somewhat by hi
close association with the allied officers
| We would not claim at this time tn
navy is above criticism or that it wa

navy department assigned him to tn

Misinterpretation of Economy.

Governor Clements suggestion that
Vermont towns should practice economy
a. of course, an excellent one providing
NAT Vermont towns correctly interpret
the meaning of economy
At this time small appropriations are
accepted as synonymous with economy
when that is hardly So Economy lies
not in the amount of money spent by any
community but rather in the way in
which it Is spent.
No matter how little money a com
munity spends there may be waste and
extravaganza in that expenditure the
the whole of which may be disbursed il
a thoroughly uneconomical manner.
The first consideration of a community
is that its expenditures should be wisely
made under intelligent direction, the sec
ond that such expenditures should be nc
lower than efficient public upkeep de
mands.
| The spectacle of communities allowing

buildings, etc, as a measure of economy
is quite common and is exactly the SAM
type of economy as that exercised by
property owner who allows his building
to deteriorate until they ar almost val
ueless to save repairs.

Retaining Old Farms.
(Keene Sentinel

A tendency to buy up old deserted
farms and resume cultivation of the soil
is reported from Maine. This is a good
sign not only for Maine but for all of
New England and perhaps other long
settled regions. During the past % years
one of the facts most frequently com
mented on by travellers through the rural
districts of the eastern part of the coun-
try has been the great number of de
serted farms.
1t has been urged by many thoughtful
persons that there was little use in open
ing up-new farming regions by means of
expensive reclamation projects when SO
many abandoned farms were available In
| regions close to big markets. All these
farms needed to make them prosperous
was little proper care. lnfNew Eng
| land, lime and manure used in junction
with up-to-date farming methods would
restore many an old farm area to pres
perity.
There may be various factors working
toward the restoration of these farms tt
active cultivation. There are better
roads today than ever before connecting
them with the markets of the grea
eastern cities. There is more scientific
information at hand about the preserva
ton of the best qualities of the soil, 70
tation of crops and the use of agricul
tural machinery to tighten drudgery
Perhaps, too, the general national pros
lperity is helping to speed up this worl
of renewing the deserted farms. What
ever the causes, the results are excellent
