The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-09-17

The remark of the New York Evening
Post that 1T is not the custom to heed
a serious social emergency until the cry
of the hungry is actually heard" is
founded on sad truth.
The fact that the conference on unem-
pIoymont has been called for the early
aausnn. in the hope that the trouble
ms Ire mitigated before cold weather
with its hunger and general distress sets
in. is a hopeful thing, in spite of the
pessimists. There is no doubt that good
can come from it. if the issue is faced
with frankness and the remedies called
for are adopted with courage and pe.>ls-
tence.
Meanwhile. unemployment can give
place to employment in unnumbered
cases if every citizen with a piece of work
to do, however small, and money enough
to pay for it, will hire that small job
done This is the time to add on the
porch to put up the garage, to get a man
to cut and burn the weeds on the vacant
lot 1t is the time to have the I1raee
and chimney cleaned, the loose ~l@t = on
the roof replaced. the spoutinl locked
after, the painting and papering done.
In many a small business there is
work enough to keep busy for a month or
six weeks. perhaps. The manufacturer
who is delaying because he can see buJ
little work ahead. and thinks it not worth
while to open. lest he may soon have TO
close again, is making a mistake. Every
man employed for six weeks means one
family fed and cared for during that
length of time and longer. 1t means that
much more buying power in the town.
that much less work for the charities next
winter 1t means less crime and less
disturbance generally. Charity is always
patch. Employment is whole cloth.

Swat the Weeds!
(Keene Sentinel.)

Why docities and towns which have
arisen and swatted the fly until that
omni-present pest is actually reduced
in numbers still submit tamely to the
weed nuisance. when it is so much cas-
Ter to get rid of weeds?
In spite of campaigns for civic
beauty. gardening and general improve
ment. there is hardly a town to be found
without weeds here and there growing
rank along the sidewalks. Furnishing
in the vacant lots and carrying on their
ceaseleSs propaganda to nulhfy the eff
forts of every citizen who plants or
improves.
Aside from their unsightly appear
ance. unchecked weed growths, drying
in the late summer weather, constitute
fire menace of no small degree. They
provide unlimited garage space which
all sorts of insect pests find handy for
laying up their cars for the winter.
They contribute to the ill-health and
discomfort of the community. holding
germ-laden dust for the first breeze to
carry along. They stimulate. and prob
ably cause directly. hay fever and al
lied ills.
\ steady campaign right now for
cutting down all weeds and burning
them, that neither seed nor insect
mischief-m makers are left to spread
trouble, will both solve this years prob
lem and diminish next years labors.
The weed and the insect know nothing
of race suicide. and without some out
ward check their tribes increase with
a rapidity worthy Of a finer strain.

"FATTY" FILMS.

The scandal in which the film coined
IAN Roscoe ArbuckIe. is involved, has
given rise in many quarters to a demand
for the suppression of all pictures featur-
ing him until the extent of his guilt has
been determined by the courts. The idea
has a good deal to recommend it, and it
is a pity that a similar withdrawal of
publicity cannot be eZtended to all the
detoi}s of the tragedy in which he is a
central figure. No good can come from
publishing far and wide the details of
any brawl of this type.
If Arbuckle is free from blame. that
fact can be ascertained and announced
in due time by the proper authorities, and
he can go his way to delight or bore
movie audiences according to their taste.
If he is found culpable. the brand of pub
lie disfavor should be put upon him and
his works.
Many persons who attain to sudden
wealth or popularity are emboldened to
disregard legal and moral restrictions by
the publicity and fiattery they receive.
To withdraw both entirely where there is
reason would be punishment in itse'f.

Government Statistics Sometimes Wrong.
bennington Ranner.l

The New England crop report says that
the Vermont potato crop is short this year
by 100000 bushels. If we believed gov
crnment statistics we might be worried,
but. as a rule, estimates that come from
official departments are a little worse than
guesses made at home. Some of the state
papers are discussing the census report
that per cent of the adult population of
Vermont is illiterate. 1t may be an inter
esting topic but the point The Banner
desires to make is that there is no good
reason for believing the report. Aside
from the detectives and mentally unbal-
anced, confined in state and local institu-
tions. it is extremely unlikely that even !
per cent of the native adult population Of
Vermont is illiterate. OF the foreign born
the percentage is a Httie higher. but the
statement printed that over Is per cent
of the adult foreign born people of Rut-
land county are unable to read and write
seems to The Banner to be absolutely alb
surd. Any such statement in regard to
the foreign born in Bennington county
would be ridiculous. The census of 1920
was badly taken. 1t came in the midst
of the period of imitation. The remunera-
ton fixed by the government for the emu
merators was so low that it did not en-
courage painstaking effort. If the census
takers stopped to be exact they didn't
make enough to pay expenses, especially
when covering certain districts. As a re
suit some of them were careless and used

In The Days News.

Macmillan Harden, who sails from
Bremen today for his first visit to
America, has long been the most feared
publicist in Germany, as he Is also one
of the best known men in Europe. Tie
was close friend of Bismarck. He won
his way to fame by a series of articles
charging conditions of gross immortality
in the encourage of the kaiser. Harden
was sued for libel, but acquitted, and
when the crown prince brought the at
tention of the kaiser to the articles
there were wholesale dismissals of
counts and other noblemen from the
royal encourage. Harden Is 81 years old
though he looks many years younger.
His parents hailed from Poland; their
name was Wukovsky, but the future
journalist, when. in his early days, he
was one of a half-hearted company of
actors, changed it to Harden. He was
% when he first turned his hand to
journalism. In 1902 he placed the mod
est weekly; Die Zukunft, on the mar,
ket; and almost immediately it became
d newspaper of immense circulation.
