 President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes are indu1ging in no Utopian dreams as to what may be about their task in thoroughly practical and business-like way. They know that complete disarmament Is not possible in the present day and age. but they believe that if the great powers of the world get round a table and face the facts squareIy they can come to some agreement which will make possible a material reduction In armaments, thus enabl- ing the various governments to lift from the shoulders of the people a part of the enormous burden of tax alton which they now bear.

GOVERNOR HARTNESS.

There isn't any question about the
way the Rutland News feels about Gov
ernor Hardness. In its opinion he has
been anything but a successful executive
thus far. According to the News the
governor has surrendered to the Bates
political machine on the highway ques-
ton. has failed to propose any construc-
tive legislation himself nor welded suf-
ficient influence to bring about the pas
sage of constructive legislation of other
origin. The legislature, the News says,
has looked to the governor for leader
ship and received only "a few nebulous
talks on how to get toe-hOld on intin-
.ity'
This criticism is somewhat premature,
and too, somewhat exaggerated. But it
is a fact. neyertheless-or The Reformer
believes it to be, at least-that Governor
Hardness has been a great disappoint-
ment to hundreds of persons who rallied
enthusiastically to his support last fall.
They expected him to make factory chin
neys sprout in every corner of the state
| to lead in some sort of a campaign
| mat would transform rural NIlldSeS IHIO
thriving industrial centers; in short, TO
set at naught such long-established laws
as that of supply and demand and make
Vermont a state toward which all others
would turn with envy and establishment
| Of course he hasn't done these things
| because such things are impossible. But
has he shown that capacity for leader
ship that persons who had no hallucina-
tions about the fairy-tale features of his
campaign program expected he would
show? The Reformer hasn't yet seer
evidence of it.
With the best intentions in the world
| Governor Hardness went into a game
which has been played for a great many
years according to established rules. His
chief mistake seems to have been that
instead of trying to learn these rules ht
attempted to promulgate an entirely new
set. Thus far his rules haven't been
adopted. And because of this situation
he has been unable to make the collec'
| tive mind of the legislature run along
with his" on any important matter.

CITY TREES.

Cleveland, long known as the Forest
city because of its numerous trees, is in
danger of losing the right to that title.
More than 1900 trees have been re-
moved from curbings in recent years.
with no requirements. This spring the
city forester is urging Cleveland resi-
dents TO observe the week of April 6 as
a tree-planting week. He has 10000
young trees ready for planting, and will
place them on streets where requests are
made
Preserving its trees is a problem in
which every city and town ought to be
vitality interested. The smaller cOmmun-
ity that is growing rapidly needs to
watch out particularly that its fine shade
trees are not crowded out by new streets
and buildings. When a tree is destroyed
or dies it should be replaced as soon as
possible.
There are many trees which survive
city life, although stony pavements and
sooty smoke menace them constantly
Trees in industrial localities are doubly
friends to mankind, for they indicate by
| their own condition the healthfulness OF
the region for human inhabitants. If g
tree sickens and dies because the air is
choked with SCOT and fumes from manu-
featuring plants, it is a sure thing that
the children in the neighbOrhood are sui
fering from the same lack of sunshine
and clean air.
For their shade and beauty, for their
shelter to the song birds, for their pro
lection of the soil and their helpfulnes>
to people, the trees should be kept and
guarded carefully in every community.

BEER AS MEDICINE.

Testing the legality of the Volstead act
at every point is good business. A pro-
hibition act with loopholes in it so big
that it fails to prohibit is no good, and
ought to be replaced by a sOunder one.
If. under the repeated tests, the one
now existent proves sound and effective.
the enforcing authorities are aided in
their difficult work.
The beer as medicine" ruling, viewed
as a test of the act, is all right. Viewed
in respect to its intrinsic merits, it fails
to display any. There used to be a su-
perstition that beer and other malt Ii
quors-stout particularly-were good for
nursing mothers. Physicians have long
since discovered that the benefits were
illusory and the harmful results real.
Milk, grape juice, stewed prunes, are far
superior and lack the baneful effects of
the malt liquors.
ANY other claims as to the beneficial
effects of beer as medicine have also
been disproved by experience, say pro-
gressive physicians. Like whisky, it
hasn't leg to stand upon. 1t hasn't
even the excuse of being a quick stimu-
liant in emergency, like the spurious Ii
quors.

BACK TO DIRT?

Two unrelated news items are strange
Iy interesting to anyone who has fought
the good fight for cleanliness and health
against dirt and disease. One is the
plea of a small weekly newspaper for
all housewives to buy all foods in bulk,
because the increasing amount of wood
pulp that is going into the containers is
raising the price of print paper and con-
sequently increasing the price of sub
scriptions and advertising. The women
who buy package goods, it says, are
helping to cut the newspapers throat.
The other is the tale that the windows of
several buildings at the University of
Chicago are not to be washed again, be-
cause by accommodating dust and cobwebs
they will acquire the atmosphere
which has made European cathedrals
famous.
As to the first item, of course it does
take increasing amounts of wood pulp
to make cartons. And cartons cost
money. And the consumer pays the
money the cartons cost, and the news
paper pays a higher price for newsprint
But the consumer pays much less for
doctor bills and disease and death than
he used to when barrels of loose food
stood around dirty and unkempt grocer
les, and the grocer's unwashed hands and
the unwashed measuring cups went from
one barrel to another she pays less
for wasted food, too.

tons, one holding five or ten times the
amount of the smaller, might help good
deal, as also a sort of general system
of the carton business, with
less fancy paper used on the outside of
the carton. But the carton saves the
use of a paper bag or piece of wrapping
paper, which fact the worried publisher
seems to have forgotten. And it saves the
time and energy of buyer and seller both.
Serve-self groceries, now so common and
so satisfactory, could hardly be main
tanned without the carton system.
