FALSE ECONOMY

President Harding, whose message to
he senate killed the veterans adjusted
compensation bill, always has insisted he
avored help in a big way, in every way
possible, for the disabled of the World
var. Whatever his attitude toward the
'ninjured veterans may have been, he al
ways has pledged himself to do every
hing possible for the casuals of the war
Vow he has such an opportunity to make
God his pledge. News dispatches from
Washington state that the bureau of eff
cheney has recommended to Brig. Gen.
sawyer president of the board of hos
pitalZation, the return of reserve medi-
cal officers in the public health service
o civil status, as an economy measure.
On the face of it, the proposition does
lot appear to be fulF of dynamite, but it
:, if one reads between the lines. At
present regular army medical officers
comprise the majority of the physicians
md surgeons in charge of disqualification,
competent group of the worlds best
urgeons and medical practitioners, who
themselves have lived, worked and fought
With those disabled veterans, and under
tand their peculiar needs.
Were the proposed measure to be
igned by the president, it would open
he way for the entrance of physicians
md surgeons of all degrees of competency
o the public health service. Doubtless
most of the civilian appOintees would be
'fficient, but it is certain that politics
would have a great deal to do with at
, east some of the appointments, and
Dung and inexperienced surgeons would
re placed in the positions now held by
pecialists of the regular army service.
Such a condition would mean untold mis-
Try to the disabled patients: would pro-
ong if not perhaps preclude their recov-
ry; and from the standpoint of saving ex-
lense might operate to the other extreme
Y causing longer periods of hospitaliza-
ion for the veterans, and consequently,
onger periods of payment of compensa-
ion, in addition to the cost of caring for
he sick men over such extended periods.
False economy is the proper term TO
'pply to the proposition. The disabled
leserve the best the government can pro-
idle for them. Let the government econ
mize elsewhere. And after all, the saw
ng to the government through the pro-
,osed change in personnel of the medical
taffs would amount to less than a million
dollars a year. In these days of figuring
n billions, what are a few thousands in
comparison with the rehabilitation of
ur war heroes.

course of a season or a school year, and
less emphasis on games.
This far-sighted coach urges also that
no boy should ever be cut from a squad
or otherwise discouraged because he does
not appear to be promising material for
immediate use. He is the very lad who
needs the training and development ath-
letics affords and later on, perhaps, be
will reward such care by good team play.
The ideas expressed by the coach quo
ted are the ideas of many coaches and
athletic instructors in high schools, col
leges and universities throughout the
country. 1t is interesting that this de-
mand for all-round development of all the
youth of the schools has arisen simultan-
eously with public interest in the COM
petitive games among selected teams of
different schools. 1t may be found that
more inter-class and group athletics, with
training for every boy or man in the
school, will, in the long run, produce more
and better material for first teams.

The MeddLer
''If the coat fits you, put it on"

In commenting last week on the need
of a legal building code The Meddler
overlooked the fact that action toward
this end was started at the village meet
ing last May. At that time there was
adopted unanimously a resolution author
izing the moderator, Judge A. f. Sehwenk
to appoint committee of three to forinu-
late a new code and report at regular
or special village meeting. SO far as The
Meddler is able to find. out no such com
mittee has been appointed, but the fact
that such a resolution was passed pro-
vides a method by which this important
work can be started at any time. 1t
ought to be gotten under way Immediately
for there promises to be an unusually
large amount of new construction the
coming year.
In fact, the outlook for 1922 seems to
be an encouraging one locally no matter
from what angle it is viewed. All of the
towns industrial concerns have wealth
cred the past year in a manner to cause
enviOus looks from plant owners in neigh
boring communities, and most of them are
of the opinion that from now on there
win be steady increase in the volume of
their business. AS town comparatively
free from the up and downs of ordinary
trade courses Brattleboro enjoys a dis
tinet reputation. Let a Brattleboroean

Liang Shih-Yi, the new Chinese pre-
mier, has long been prominent in public
affairs in China, although he is still a
comparatively young man. His career i'll
the public service began in 1906, when he
accompanied a mission to India in the
capacity of secretary. Upon his return
he was appointed chief of a department
in the board of communications and by
1912 he had risen to be chief director of
railways and posts. In the movement
of Yuan Shih-kai in 1915 to make Linn
self emperor Liang Shih-Yi played an i'm
portant part. With the collapse of this
movement he found it advisable for a time
to retire from private life. For several
years he busted himself with plans for the
industrial development of China. Later
he was permitted TO return to Picking
and was given a pardon for his partici-
patton in the monarchical movement. He
was elected speaker of the senate and
later was appointed director general of
the domestic loan administration.
