workers Of the country and
to absorb more quickly into American
life the Immigrants coming to these
shores for sanctuary and opportunity
is advocated by James J.. Davis. Sec
retary Of Labor.
This bureau Of recreation would be
part of a broader system Of education
under a self-supporting Department
Of Labor. he says, and would in fact
be a great direct saving to the fed
eral Treasury, because it would win
the. aliens among us to an under
standing OF and a part in American
ideals and institutions before the
reds, the anarchists and the seditious
agitators could tester among them.
Not only for the newcomer among
US, but for the old residents also
for all Americans-to bring them all
into closer cooperation with the
spirit OF this self-government. Secre-
tary Davis Is going to ask Congress

and to become a citizen pretty much
without help or guidance. He came
over here in the steerage and he
needs steerage still. He Is still a
child in our ways, with no knowledge
of the immense new privileges he en-
joys. Secretary Davis wants Uncle
Sam to keep track of that man-not
to regulate him, but to help him, to
teach and encourage him. He wants
Uncle Sam not in the attitude of a
policeman, but of friend, true
uncle.
He wants to see every school in the
country devote it's after hours to the
schooling of these prospective and
receptive new citizens. We need to
know how they are forging on as
wage earners and as members of our
free society. he argues. We need to
know the whereabouts of these peo-

the insidious poison of red propa-
ganda. which from personal knowl-
edge he feels to be an ever.present
danger. We need all the educational
machinery we can organize to battle

says.

A Certain Something in Maps.

There is something in maps that
sets the mind to dreaming. Some
people; prefer old family albums.
Some go back and reread old letters.
And others like to talk of friends
long dead or long wandered away.
But best of all, to set the memory
free, is some old map that guided
US once and yet may guide us again.
The soldier who is fortunate enough
to possess the map that he carried
in France has better history, a
better diary. than he could get from
any bookshop. Here he can wander
as he pleases, without a pass and
without fatigue. 1t was here on the
map, at st. Nazaire, that he landed
and was miserable for a time. 1t was
in this little village, near Vitry lie
Francois, that the division rested for
a week and he was happy. 1t was
here that he went into the line and
Fere that friend was seen for the
last time. And it was from here, at
Brest, a muddy place, that he sailed
for home again.
But 1t need not be the map Of a
land we have seen. Perhaps the best
| country. To point out the spot on

Check Up the Ornamental Salary List,


Governor Hartness is not personally
under fire in the discussion of some of
the old things that he has resaid recently.
His estimate of waste is probably too
large 1t is said that in burning coal to
produce power the waste and loss is
more than % per cent of the actual heat
units In some operations the loss Of
actual potential power is possibly even
greater while in others it is far less. The
governors estimate that the waste in
state government Is 30 per cent is con-
sidered by others who have examined the
figures as too large but the point at is
sue is not whether the governor is APP
proximatcly wrong or approximately
right but whether the line of attack can
be focused on the points where there Is
waste to any considerable degree regard
less of per cent Merely stirring up a
cloud of dust and then letting it settle
over the landscape brings no useful re-
salt. The Vermont public is rapidly be-
coming convinced shat the tremendous
increase in overhead in the highway de-
partment the department OF education,
and the board of health is not justified
and that the money is going mostly to
pay salaries of people who give cOmpar-
atively little in return. Governor Hart
ness NAV perhaps be charged with the re-
SponSibility for the $4,000 increase in
the highway department which has APP
parently weakened the department some
what. but he cannot be blamed for the
large and growing ornamental salary
