ORDER AND CLEANLINESS

Strong forces in the fight against the
fire waste which are within the reach
of everybody, and by the use of which
every person in his daily life may con.
tribute largely to the general welfare,
are order and cleanliness about the
house, factory or shop.
Cleanup day has become an institu
ton in many af the great cities and
is doing wonders in reducing the fire
peril. 1t seems to be second nature
with the average American to put
things in the attic or down in the
storeroom for some vague contingency
instead of throwing them away when
their usefulness is outlived. In this
national characteristic we have the
cause of fires which have cost millions
Of dollars and many lives.

CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT.

The warning of Congressman +. l..
Greene to the Vermont legislature
against too much Capitalization of gov
crnmcnt in Washington fell upon atten-
tive ears and is likely to be remembered
when further schemes for federal con
troll of road. health and school policies
of the states are proposed. Already the
amount of money Vermont shall cXpend
on trunk line highways is fixed in Wash
ington without due regard to the ability
of the state to cxpend such sums. 1t is
wise. however. TO accept this federal aid
because Ecrmonters are compelled to
contribute their share to the general
federal fund and it would be folly to re-
fuse to accept a part of this money from
the federal government to be expended
for the benefit of Vermont.
The latest proposition before congress
for collecting funds from the people and
cxpending them in the different states is
the Smith Towner bill which would Gre
ate a department of education with the
usual retinue of officials sitting at desks
in Washington and travelling about the
country at public expense and an annual
appropriation of S1OO.0O0,O00 for distri-
button among the states for the promo
tion of education. This sum of $100,-
100000 is to be divided as follows For
the instruction of illiterates, 81, 100000 :
for the Americanization of immigrants,
$7.5OO.O0O: for equalizing educational
opportunities. $50, 100000; for physical
COO 600 on. FAr. +Io nrn,ora-
ton of teachers in elementary and sec
ondary schools, $15,O00.O00.
Under the plan of allotment Vermont
would receive for Am~ericanization of
immigrants ST. 7O6.17, for the educa-
ton of ilIiterates $9,1O0.62, for equaliz-
ing of educational opportunities $205,
JO2, for physical education $77, 420.43,
and for the preparation eff teachers So
1O7. 20. The total annual allotment for
Vermont would be 1891, S3T.37, or about
| onc-third Of one per cent of the whole
fund.
There is another thing to be remem-
bered and that is the federal government
viii require the states TO appropriate
equal sums for the various purposes. Tn
der this arrangement Vermont would be
required to expend $144,214.40 each
year for preparation of teachers in ele-
mcntary and secondary schools, a much
larger sum thar it has been spending and
quite possibly more than it need to spend
for that purpose. Again illiteracy is
very small in Vermont compared with
the southern states. so the bulk of the
money contributed by V%ermonters for
the removal of i~lliteracy would go to
other states, principally to the South
which has been so uniformly favored If
all Democratic legislation.
When it is all summed up Vermonters
will find they are likely to get the butt,
end of the expenses and little of the
benefits of this proposed deal and the
general government will have a large
addition to its salary list for govern
mcnt employees. When the facts are un,
dcrstood Vcrmontcrs will approve Con
gresham Greene in his opposition to
this bill.

WoMEN are making successful
!" ventures In various advertising
businesses. One of the methods that
have proved to work well is that of
organizing an advertising bureau.
This is the way one successful firm
manages:
There are three young women in
the firm, who have incorporated under
a certain firm name. One of these is
the business manager. The second is
the seeker after necessary material.
whether data or photographs. She
hunts up the material required by a
writer for a certain story, the Illus
trationS needed to go with such an
article, she makes sure of important
details that are to be used in press
stories. The third partner finds the
people who are TO do the actual work,
the writing, the illustrating. She
plans work ahead. sees those who
want publicity, arranges interviews.
and attends to all the social side of the
business.
One of them worked for a year as q
reporter on a great daily. She learned
a lot about publicity there, and how
TO tell a good story, a news story,
when she saw ii. The other girls had
been employed in business Offices. Bat
they had taken these positions simply
with a view of getting required train
ing.

GATES" one of them told me. "a
girl needs to get int a good office
and keep her eyes open and her wits
alive, before she tackles something of
her own. But I believe that any girl
who Is intelligent and ambitious. and
who is willing to spend a year or two
of hard business training, is sure to
make good in a business of her own.
And she will be much more likely TO
make real money and to have a
chance to make the very best of her
self in a business of her W than In
any salaried job"
But l shouldn't advise any girl who
doesn't. like hard work 70 follow such
an example, for you don't count hours
or effort where It's your own firm.

We congratulate Speaker Billings on the
excellent work he has done in selecting
the committees {. the house. He had a
large aggregate of good material and he
has placed it to the best possible advan-
tage in connection with the various com
mittees who will shape rne work of the
house. We do not see how he could have
improved upon the list he submitted to
the house yesterday. The committee con-
sisting of Lieut.-Gov. Foote, President
Kingsley al Senator Bryant, who had
the selection OF the committees in the
senate have also made selections that
promise the best possible results at that
end of the state house. The committees
are well balanced. and each section OF the
state is also given fair representation. 1t
Is a difficult matter TO satisfy everybody
but the senate and house committees go
as far in this direction as could reasonably
be expected.

\ Simple Inaugural.
st. Albans AIessenrer

Most people will applaud President
elect Harding for his decision to have
IA simple inaugural. Plans were under
way for the expenditure of hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars for the ceremonie,
connected with the installation Of The
new president. Senator Harding calls a
hale saying that he wants the simplest
program consistent with tie actual re
quIrcments.
An that Is necessary about an Inaugural
ton is TO make it impressive. Expeudi.
tures OF large sums of money on display
DO not Of necessity insure an impressive
event. More often than not they detract
from it and make a show" of what
should be a solemn affair. 1t is no time
to be spending money to make a Roman
holiday. Senator Harding shows the com
nonsense which the voters have expected
of him.
