WASHINGTON, March lS-Herbert-
Hoover is cunning for the Republican
presidential nomination or rather-to use
political vocabulary-his friends are do.
ing the cunning The latest proof of Mr.
Hoover's republieanism has Just been
issued in the form of a hitherto unpub-
lished letter dated April II, 1919, which
shows that the former food administrator
approXimates the position of Senator
Lodge, if not Senator Fall, on MANY,
phases of international policy, and that
while he advocates a league of nations
his conception of what the measure of
American participation shall be, differs
considerably from that of President Will
son.
just what IS the purpose of these reve
lations of letters written a year ago but
bearing on the situation today cannot be
discovered from the Hoover supporters,
but other revelations are promised Be
fore long it viii be disclosed:
That Herbert Hoover is not IAN Eng
lislman" as the Hearst press has branded
him, but on the other hand fought the
British more bitterly than anybody in
Paris, and at one time threatened q com
plete exposure Of his negotiations with
the British over food matters unless
| pledges which Mr.. Hoover considered had
| been given by Great Britain were kept
| That Herbert Hoover is not the foe of
| the farmers but that he is their friend
and that he had nothing to do with the
| fixing of the price of wheat, which act
| ba 1UnrL- Of t,,1
| by President Wilson and which was en-.
trely Independent of Mr. Hoover's con.
troll or influence
| That Herbert Hoover doesn't approve
of the seven years of Wilson administra
ton, especially its domestic policies. anc
Especially its postoffice department anC
other branches OF the government
And, finally ii is averred that Mr.
| Hoover is more closely identified with tn,
Republican than Democratic point o.
view.
Now it must be clearly understood that
Mr. Hoover is nes defining his politica
affiliations or iRelinations. He has naive
ly asked, what is going to be the differ
ence this year between the Republican
and Democratic platforms | shall val
and see which is progressive and which
is reactionary."
But the politicians in both partie
don't like that and insist upon KNOWN!
what Mr.. Hoover thought or did in tn
past. So the record is being unfolded
The unpublished letter is a more etfeetv
argument than any member of the Re
publican party in the senate has mad
for a dissertation by the United State
from European entanglements. Nj

51H PER CENT PROFIT.
Swami Charges Sheffield Farms Co. With
Profteering.

NEW YORK, March lS.-The Sheffield
Farms company whose notices urging
dairymen not to increase their produc-
tion are under investigation by District
Attorney Swami made profits in 1918 or
$4,000, or 5lb per cent, according to
statistics compiled by Frank j. Wilson,
deputy federal fair price commissioner
for this state, made public last night by
Mr.. Swami These alleged profits were
said by Mr.. Swami to be So times those
made in 1917.
President Horton of the company char
acterized the district attorneys an
nouneement as Misrepresentation.
He asserts. that as far as he could tell
without consulting the company's books,
the profits were only trifle more than
half of S774,000.

Constitutional Changes.

Numerous changes to the constitu-
ton of Vermont have been suggested
in the public press but few of them are
of radical nature. 1t is proper and
possibly desirable to suggest a further
I change Might it not be better for the
state to have fewer elective officers
Under the present constitution the peo
| pie of the state elect governor, lieu
tenant governor, secretary of state
auditor of accounts, state treasurer
and an attorney general, six in all.
The people desire more economy ard
more efficiency in their state admins
tration but do not place the admins
trative duties of the government on
any single individual but in the hands
of five separate individuals, each with
equal authority from the public. The
governor. the nominal head of the ad
ministration, has no voice in the choice
of the heads of four other de.
partments of the administration, there
fore, no real power to make them eff
cient or satisfactory He cannot re-
move one of these officials if they
prove inefficient or neglectful of their
duties. As q result he cannot be held
responsible for the government.
Might not the state have more
responsible government if it should
place the responsibilities on fewer off
cers' Suppose the people should elect
a governor lieutenant governor and
an auditor and allow the governor to
select the secretary of state, state
treasurer and attorney general and
hold him responsible for their service.
With this increased authority he would
have greater responsibility and could
be held more strictly accountable by
the people. The governor alone would
have the executive powers of the gov
eminent and the auditor elected by the
people could protect the public from
fraudulent use of its funds. Then airy
wrong in the government could be
placed on one of these two officials.
Wouldn't the tendency be to have bet
ter fitted people in the subordinate of
fees of secretary of state, treasurer
and attorney general?
There has been, we understand, some
friction because the board of control
has attempted to limit and regulate
expenses of one of these officials, he
he was elected by the peo
pie and independent of the board of con-
troll This change would make such
claims in the future impossible be-
cause this official would be subordi-
nate to the governor and under his
control
There is much more to be said on
he question but our purpose at this
.ime is simply TO suggest the change
'or consideration by the public and the
commission to recommend changes to
he next legislature Brattleboro Re.

The Engineering Mind" in Public
Affairs.

Much has been said, particularly
since Mr.. Hoover first demonstrated his
extraordinary capacity for helpfulness
to famine threatened peoples. of the
ralue of the Engineering mind" in pub
iic affairs. Tired of the bubble and
indecisions of certain type of poll
sician the people at large have found a
refreshing promise of healthy accom-
plishment in the definite and construc-
tive methods in which the engineer is
trained to approachc his problems In
lime, no doubt, the engineering mind"
like most other phases will be over.
worked and too much expected of it :
hat is the ordinary experience in the
application of ideas or general policies
which have in them anything new or
distinctive.
With the business of our national.
state and municipal governments mul.
tiphed many times as the result of in
creasing population, the war and the
changing conditions of goth century
life, it is obvious that never has the
engineering mind" or something like
II, been more needed for the direction
and, in large sense, the reorganza.
ton of public affairs. To the engineer.
more perhaps than any other. waste is
o sin. One of the most important tasks
for the next administration. whether
Republican or Democratic, will be the
reorganization of the federal depart
ments. Yet it is unlikely Of even re-
motely adequate accomplishment, un-
less the problem is seized and present
cd to the country, by some representa-
tives of the executive branch of the
government, with a convincing clar-
lty which will overcome the objections
sure to be raised in Congress where
bureaus or departments which may be
threatened will inevitably find friend
" obstructionists.
The most recent instance of a man
who may be said to belong to the engi-
neering type and who has come into
line for public Office. is James S. Hart
ness, the Republican nominee for The
governorship of Vermont. Mr.. Hart
ness Is an inventor and manufacturer
who was drafted for service in connec-
ton with sirplane construction during
the war and who has organized. by
methods of his own. a number Of sue
cessful manufacturing plants. He has
seemed 10 feel that the experience he
has gained and the lessons he has
learned may proftably be applied to
the conduct of Vermont's state govern
ment.
IL will always be as possible for the
engineering mind" as for any other.
to go wrong in dealing with any new
problem. There l. no assurance Of snc-
ress in any type Of mentality There
are good engineers and there are poor
Ones. But the candidacy Of Mr. Hart
ness and his performance in office. since
his nomination Is equivalent to cleo
ton. NAV BE- watched With special in
