ico effort reduce this damage to minimum the
government is hiring professional hunters and trappes to
catch and kill the animals.
The methods could be improved on, in the opinion Of
many New Mexcans. This by letting the public DO the
hunting without charge Mountain lions wolves and bears
big enough and wild enough to enthuse the seeker Of
manshp show itself The pelts would bring fair in
come to the hunter who wanted profit.
Last year livestock worth 100000 was killed by
wild animals the western ranges Crops worth twice
that amount destroyed In addition to the large
wild animal the rodent is playing havoc with chickens and
crops New Mexico is entitled to better protection, for
her share Of the loss is increasingly great.
So far the bounty system has not resulted in breed
ing the beasts for their pelts.
The fact that FL Paso valley farmers can sell pears to
England by the carload sign this country figuring
along with California.
No matter what the custom has been the fact remains
that offcsholder be honest if he wants to BE-
If the allies can't make Germany pay the indemnity

TIE NEW FRANCE.

President AIillerand in his first mes
sage to the French parliament said in
part:
France has learned lessons from the
war, and those of her children who died
for her will not have given in vain such
an example of the most sublime self
sacrifice Upon their graves Il new
France has been born. She repudiates
internccinc dissensions and disiilusIon-
ING uuarrels to consecrate herself en-
tire to order, work and unity, under
the protection of free institutions, for
the development of her greatness and
prosperity
The nation is attached forever to the
republican regime which. after remedy
ing the errors and faults of personal
power, has completed its work in re-
constructing the unity of the father
land. Universal suffrage is the master,
and its will is expressed by elected
representatives. In order that it be eX-
ecuted and respected there Is need OF
free executive power under the control
of parliament and an independent judi
ciary.
He also stated the first duty of his
country is the total execution of the
agreement entered into and signed by
our adyersaries at Versailles The
treaty is a new charge upon Europe
and the world"
The new premier, Leagues, declares
that France must make the league of
nations a living, powerful organism to
end the era of great wars"
The new France apparently is very
similar to the old in the quick reeoy.
cry it is making from the deyastations
of war with its great rumble of life
from its factories and fields and pay
ment of its war obligations. But il
its reputation of internecine dissen
sions and disiIlusioning quarrels and il
its determination to end the era o.
great wars there is a new force fol
world peace and development. L
comes into existence with great pestig
and great promise. All hail the new
| France.

That Heavy Overhead"
(Randolph Herald.)

People will wonder whether the board
of education in naming successor TO
DR. Hillegas will attempt to continue
his system of education or will seek to
have the system modified to more
closely comply with Vermont condl-
tions. The Hillegas system has been
an EXPENSIVE one for the state. The to-
tai expenses for the department of ed
ucatiou in Vermont in the year l9u9
were $I38, 14459. In 1918 they were
S74g 56I.2I and are now larger than
that. As we pointed out iii yester-
davis Reformer the increased expense
of educating teachers and in the over
head EXPENSES of school management
have been enormous. There is a desire
throughout the state to have more
money extended in the schools and less
for officials-Brattlebor Reformer.
In this and other editorial articles
the Reformer has been far astray as
to facts and figures, and worse still, 1t
has been unfair in their presentation,
undertaking to convey impressions not
warranted The figures given above,
for example, as the total expenses OF
the department of education, taken ap-
parentlv from the biennial report OF
the auditor of accounts, contain items
with which this department has moth
ing whatever to do-standing and spe-
cial appropriations aggregating many
thousands of dollars, like $58,0O0 to
the University of Vermont and State
Agricultural college, $4,000 to Nor
wich university, $2S,800 to Middlebury
college, $l4,625.03 for support of de-
fective children, 28,814.55 for the
state school for feebleminded, these
being the figures for 1913, aggregatlng
1859 .O39.5S, while in 1909 the CORE
spending items amounted to only $37-
28O.28. Not dollar of these funds
passes through the hands of the state
department Of education or can be con-
trolled by it in any way.
Included also in 1913 is the distribu-
