A FOOLISH PLAN

The Barre Times says wisely:
"The proposed campaign of the w, e..
T. U. to have a star placed on the
window of every home where liquor IS
not used ought to be stopped by the
cooler heads of that organization right
at the outset. Such campaign Is des-
tined to meet with failure as a census
of teetotalers. Comparatively few peo-
pie are going to be willing to have their
homes stuck up with a sign OF alb
stention-even those who never par
take of liquor and who do not allow
liquor in their homes but who are not
shouting the fact from the housetops.
Such a campaign could only add to
the already too numerous hypocrisies
that are connected with the enforcement
conditions The way the plan proposed
by the W. c. T. U. would work out
if would furnish no true census at all.
Those who do not use liquor OF any
kind, never have and never will, do
not say SO and they would in most cases
have strong objections to advertising
their virtues by means of little stars
plastered on their parlor windows. On
the other hand, we greatly fear that
there would be many, many homes,
safely protected by the little union
LABEL, in which there would be a bot
tie under the buffet and batch OF
home brew in the cellar. No, indeed,
one never could tell what went on be-
hind the star decorated windows.
The w. c. T. U. had best not waste
any money buying stars and paste.
There are much better uses for their
money.

NOT GUILTY OF FRAUD

The decision of the United States
Senate that Truman H. Newberry OF
Michigan is entitled to his seat in that
august body is in full accordance with
the facts in the case as brought out III
the trial in the federal court in Grand
Rapids as well as in the hearings CON
Quoted by the committee appointed
bv the Senate to investigate the case.
Notwithstanding the fact that malic-
ious and no doubt basely false accusa-
tions were made on the floor OF the
Senate, and also through some partisan
newspaper organs through the country,
there apparently is no evidence either
in the court records or the findings OF
the investigating committee that sus-
tains the charges that the expenditures
in connection with Mr. Newberry's
nomination were used in any illegal
manner for the corruption of the cleo
torate of Michigan.
The whole story is that large sums
of money were spent in the Senator'S
behalf. Mr.. Ford, it will be found,
also spent a tidy little sum, through
propaganda spread in publications.
There is no basis for the accusation
that Mr. Newberry was guilty of VIC
lating the primary laws or perpetrating
frauds.

SUPPORT THE BAND

One essential organization III any
community that is in any way pos
sessed of self pride, is regulation, uni
formed brass band. They hven sum
mer evenings on the park once in a
while. They make political rallies
worth attending every two years. And
when it comes to having a celebration
or a county fair, what, pray tell us,
can you do without them:
Middlebury has for years been repre-
sented with a band that is creditable
organization, and it has not cost great
deal of money either. But at the pres
ent time the REGISTER learns upon
inquiry, the band is sadly i'll need OF
assistance and something besides APP
plause. In talking the other day with
7. B. Cobb, leader OF the band, we find
that the boys are considerably discour-
aged with the present outlook and fear
that unless something substantial is
done locally it will be next to impos-
sible to 90 ahead this season. To be-
gin with, there has been almost moth
ing purchased in the way OF new horn
equipment or uniforms for the past 70
wears. The instruments the band is
using now are all high pitch, while
every band, even those in smaller towns
around us, is now playing low pitch
instruments. High pitch is OF the old
order of things, practically obsolete IN
band work today. Some additional
horns are needed and Others can be
sent away and changed to lower
pitch. Then uniforms are sadly needed.
When one wears a suit for 20 years, it
is generally considered time to get
new one. There are other demands for
funds which must be forthcoming il we
are to keep our band,
An appropriation for 10 concerts each
summer, u here and three in East MID
dlebury, is made by the village, but
this amount is used as fast as 1t IS
received to defray the general running
expenses of the organization. lheEe
is nothing left for extras no allowance
made for depreciation, in other words
Mr. Cobb tells us that there are pros
poets of some very good material lor
band the coming summer. NO douDl
at least % musicians will be available
and practically to a man they ofer
their services without any expense to
the organization, But the fact IS that
they simply must be equipped II they
are to appear on the streets this season
Funds might be raised by the pro-
cess of entertainments, suppers and the
like. but that is slow business, and very
uncertain in the net amounts you Will
realize 1t would take just about S5OO
to fit the band out in good shape, Why
not simplify the whole matter and 90 1t
IN in short order by the circulation OF
subscription paper: Properly handled
if would not be difficult to raise the
needed amount and at the same time
it would not be burdensome to anyone
The band should be relieved OF its
embarrassing situation

AN IMPORTANT DEPARTMENT

The activities Of the various depart
ments of the Woman's Club, consider
ably ramifed, have grown to be strong
contributing influences toward all &C
omplishments that tend to the uplift,
physical as well as moral, of Middle
bury. Their endeavors, when aggre-
gated, include social educational and
phlanthropic. Without any question,
one of the most vitality important of
these various branches is the Educa
tional department, which in its func
tioning, most happily combines educa
tonal, social and philanthropic good
works.
1t seems to the REGISTER that the
community should be keenly interested
in the work of this special department
and manifest its interest by signs of
appreciation. Part of the program for
work this year includes a series of en-
tertainments, the proceeds of which are
to be used toward furnishing equip
ment and other necessities for the pub
lie schools that cannot, probably, come
under the regular budget for expendi-
lures as allowed by the district, yet
at the same time are much needed.
Recently there has been started in the
schools the hot lunch system that has
been adopted in SO many of the schools
in the state during the past few years.
There are so many children during the
cold winter months who bring cold
lunch from home, because it is imprac-
teal to make the journey at the noon
hour in inclement weather, that every
where parents and teachers are finding
that the little stomachs suffer unless
a bit of something warm is fed them.
Here in Middlebury under the direc-
ton of Miss Lane hot cocoa and hot
soup are served each noon to those
who do not go home, and the children
are finding that it supplements their
cold sandwiches and cakes most com
pletely A special room has been
equipped for this purpose, tables have
been made by the pupils of the NAH
ual training department and dishes are
being furnished, so that the children
may eat with some degree of comfort
and cleanliness
To this worthy effort the Education
al department has not only lent every
encouragement but considerable mater
al aid as well. Their help may be
said to be fairly responsible for the
realization of the hot lunch scheme.
Several other things are needed for the
new mess hall, if we may call it that,
and the Educational department is 60
ing to see that these things are sup
piled,
Mothers who have children in school
would do well, if they are not already
acquainted with the club work, to at
tend some time one of the meetings
of the Educational department. They
would be truly surprised at the interest
they are taking in the welfare of the
children of Middlebury, who, at a very
mpressionable age, are laying the
foundations for their education.
