CHANCE FOR ECONOMY

There is an opportunity for the legis-
lature of 1921 to inaugurate an effective
economy for the state by inquiring into
the nature of the buildings being erected
at the Home for Feeble Minded at Bran
don. 1t is reported the walls of the
dormitory now under construction there
are solid brick 16 inches thick for the
first story and II inches thick for the
second story. The building is con-
structed for a home for inmates of this
institution and is not a building for the
confinement of prisoners. Solid brick
walls of such thickness seem inadvisable
for a dwelling, especially in these days
of expensive construction.
In fact, the construction of thick
wglled brick buildings to be used as
homes for people who do not have to be

Governor in 1922.

burlington Free Press
The people of Vermont had hardly re-
covered from the mild designations at
tending the obsequics of the Clement ad-
miniStration and the inauguration of
Governor HartnesS when the esteemed
Randolph Herald was moved to indulge
in gubernatorial prophecy. 1t dominates
Judge John +. Weeks of AIiddlebury
for the position of governor two years
hence, although we understand that
Farmer and Lieutenant Governor Abram
W. FOOte of Addison county had already
planted his gubernatorial peas in the
full of a 1920 moon.
Most people will agree with the Her
AIDS estimate of the splendid qualities
of Judge Weeks, as follows:
1t is pretty early, with a new gov
ernor barely installed, to start anything
for 1922-we are perfectly aware of
that-yet we are going to suggest a can
didate for that Office two years hence
who is so manifestly fitted for it, and
50 unusually welt prepared for its duties
that if he win consent to stand (Of which
we haven't the slightest Information one
way or the Other) he should have no op-
position. The man is Judge John r..
Weeks of MiddIebury. If there is any
one who more deserves recognition for
service and who promises better service
in return for recognition of this kind. he
has successfully concealed himself up to
this time. As director of state inSti-
tutions and member of the state board of
control Judge Weeks has demonstrated
in every way his remarkable capacity
for executive work, and his heart has
gone along with his head and hands, as
his record abundantly teStifies. \ few
years ago Addison county did n foolish
thing in turning down Judge Weeks for
the lieutenant governOrship. Too large
hearted to retire in disgust at this evil
dencc of ingratitude for local services
long and well performed and poorly re-
quilted. Judge Weeks became the states
servant where he fitted better than any
other available man could. He has not
reached the limit of his ability by any
means. Two years ahead is quite a long
period and much may happen political
ly. but if John +. Weeks is then i'm pres
ent good health. he ought to have a
smooth way to the gOvernorship."
The Rutland News seems to be doing
all in its power by indirection to make
Judge Charles II. Darling candidate
in 1922. while former Lieut.. Gov. Frank
+. Howe of Bennington is constantly
busy on the side lines. Other entries
are also intimated.
Our advice to gubernatorial bee-kccp-
ers, however. is to keep their favorites
in the hive for long time to come.
Much cold weather is due and premature
apiary cxcurSionists are very certain
to have their wings frost-bitten.
