Trained Red Cross disaster relief
workers made 1876 visits during the
week ending July in the process
of rendering assistance to the flooded
families. OF this number, $40 were
personal visits to the homes Of fami-
lies needing help. Two hundred and
sixty were interviews, which took
place in the offices Of the Red Cross
relief stations.
Over 365 calls were made in order
to check the eligibility Of applicants
for Red Cross aid. There were 95 in
tcrviews with people either in hospi-
tails or in camps.
Mr.. Jones reported, also, that during
the designated seven days 203 fami-
lies were given food, 103 were given
clothing, SO were furnished with house,
hold goods, and 43 received medical
aid.
Definite work has been established
among the flooded families in the
rural districts up and down the Arkan-
sas valley, and it is hoped that some
of the farmers will be able to re-plant
crops through the Red Cross aid at
least.
According to statement issued by
w. Frank Persons, vice chairman of
the American Red Cross, who visited
Pueblo the last week in June, the
amount of money available for use
among the Pueblo flood sufferers falls
short some $25O,O00 of the sum des-
perately needed. he also stated that
100000 in addition was necessary if
the Red Cross is to give some start
toward the rebuilding of destroyed
houses.
At the present :.ie., scarcely more
than 100000 is available, of which
100000 is the disaster appropriation
from national headquarters The most
conservative estimates of the fund nee
essary to complete the rehabilitation of
the flood stricken families is $500, 900.

EDUCATION AND THE JOBLEss

The growth of human intelligence is
shown in the desire manifested on every
hand for better education, and the reali
zation that education is essential to get
ting ahead.
The editor of a newspaper column de
voted to the problems of feminine minds
finds that right now questions as TO rib
bons and hearts are less common than
appeals as to how to improve the bust
ness outlook. Girls who are out of jobs
or engaged in those which are distaste-
full want to know what and where to
study so as to improve their efficiency,
Many are ready to use their savings in
acquiring further education. A similar
tendency has been noted among male
workers.
1t is safe to say that time and savings
could be put to no better purpose than
improving ones education, general and
specific. When hard times come. the ig-
norant and inefficient go first. The intel
ligent worker who knows his job is kept
on as long as there is a shred of anything
for him to do. His employers know that
he IL HdEueSJ - ItpidCcs anu NdiuS MIN
accordingly.
One of the best things about hard times
| is that they make people think about
such matters. The first question that the
| jobless one asks himself is, why did ii
have to be me?" The second ought to be.
What can | do to prevent its happen
| ing again?" 1t is a hopeful indication
that so many persons are answering
their own questions with one word, led,
ucation.''

LESS FILTHY LUCRE

Old currency, however welcome in the
pay envelope, never is quite so pleasant
to the hand and eye as crisp new bills.
1t is gooL 70 hear from Washington that
the treasury apartments presses are in
creasing the supply.
For six months past, that department
admits. the country's currency has been
in had shape soied. Vrjnkled and. no
doubt, germ-laden a well. The govern
mants money printing liant was rushed
With TIE production of other securities.
and as result could not issue and put
into circulation bills of the smaller de-
nominations fast enough to meet the nor
NAL demand for new money. Bankers
and merchants complained. They like to
give new. clean bills to customers when
ever possible, and they learned years ago
how fond the women are of those which
crackle as they fold.
Secretary Mellon, in response to the
busino~s protest, has made plain. that
every effort is being made to remedy con
ditions. He is asking congress for the
necessary appropriation to continue the
increased production of new currency I'M
til the first of the year, and believes that,
by that time his department will have
caught up with the demands again. The
money is being put in circulation through
the federal system which, in turn, is col
lecting and destroying all bills that fall
into its hands unfit for further use.
Truly, the world grows fastidious when
merchants associations make formal ap-
peal to the government for clean money
for their customers.

The Vacant Judeship.
(Rutland Herald.)

The selection of a superior judge to
succeed the late Zed Silloway Stanton
promises to be the complete reverse of a
sin pie proposition.
Not only are there several good Wash
instOn county men mentioned for the va
carcy. including the governors secretary,
Ju Jus Wilcox, and Fred b. Thomas,
ably supported by the members of the
American Legion, but Wade Reyes of
Reading, rated as the big brain of the
hose IF representatives, comes from the
governors own county and is very highly
recommended.
There is also the northeast of the state
to be considered, which has had no resi-
dent superior judge since Judge Slack
was elevated to the supreme court. This,
it is urged by lawyers practicing in the
counties of Orleans and Essex, is great
inconvenience and would compel them
to go to Windham county in order to get
papers signed as things stand now.
They are therefore urging or are about
to urge the appointment of Frank ID.
Thompson, now reporter of the supreme
court and formerly a municipal judge in
Orleans county.
Geographically and by reason of a
sort of tradition that supreme court re-
porters make good judges, Thompson s
name looms rather large in the estimates.

The SpOtter System.
ISt AlhnnS AIaSSprAynr. ]


According to the testimony in a so
called mOonshine case in Newport Thurs
day, the state is employing liquor spot
ters' now, just as it used to under the
old Vermont prohibitory laws. Mont
peler Argus.
The most notorious and disgusting case
of the use of spoilers on record Is that
of the Newport training station during
the war when the navy department, I'M
der Secretary Daniels, sanctioned the use
of young men to ferret out those prac-
ticing unnatural immoraliteS. The Cup
shot of i was the severe reprimanding
by senate investigating committee of
Secretary Daniels and Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt for ordering sailors into
such WORK, involving, as il might, their
own moral downfall.
This was the spotter system brought
to the nth power. Spotting, when ana
lyzed. means nothing but state partici-
patton as an incentive to crime. The
only thing that can be said in its favor
is to appeal to the doctrines that the end
justifeS the means, a doctrine that has
been blasted time and time again, So,
actually. nothing can be said i'm it's favor.
Neither the state or the federal govern
ment should resort t sach tactics. f1rs
by so doing the government places itself
on the level of the lawbroakpr, and docs
it in cowardly mau4rr because 1t in
vokeS its own poweT as protection
against punishment. A public official
who resorts to the use of spoilers there
by seals the fact of his own unwOrthi-
ness.

In the selection of the Rev. Paul d.
Moody as president of Middlebury col
legc, the trustees of that institution have
reached a happy solution of the problem
facing them. He is recognized as scholar
as well as an able administrator. He has
served as a pastor in Vermont, in New
York city and elsewhere. He has thus
cultivated a broad field as a student.
while at the same time he has gained a
fairly comprehensive idea of Vermont
spirit and of Vermont institutions. We
