L. b. ROBINSON.

The Stanstead (Canada) Journal
last week contained the following
obituary OF former resident of Nor
risvIlle:
Mr.. l.. r. Robinson, for many years editor
of the Stanstead Journal died early this
morning. He had been in failing health for
some time, and about the first of January
had severe attack of la grippe from which
he never fully recovered although he was able
to be about the house and occasionally went
out. He had not been quite as well this week,
and the end came as a result OF heart failure.
Deceased was born in Fair Haven Vt Nov.
Is, 1920. and was therefore in his S1st year.
When youth he entered the office of the Rut-
land Herald where he remained four or five
years, afterwards engaging in the publishing
business at Castleton, Vt.
Coming to Canada in 1916, he established
the Stanstead journal and for more than
half a century remained its editor and sole
proprietor. During this extended period his
life was closely interviewer with the growth
and prosperity of this place, his support he
ing given to every good cause.
He was for some time U. S. Consular agent
at this place, an Office of considerable impOr
lance during the civil war. He had been a
municipal councillor, mayor of Stanstead
Township, and held other Offices of response
bllity and trust, but his lie-work was IN con-
nection with this paper and his influence was
felt throughout the county for more than
half century. He leaves wife, one son and
five daughters besides numerous other rela-
tves.
As an empIoyefor many years and lately as
an associate in business the writer can testify
to the kindness and generosity of his late
partner. At no place, save IN the home circle,
will the deceased be so much missed as in the
Journal office where he has labored so faith
fully and long.
Mr.. Robinson was better known
about than he was known personally
in Morrisville, where he lived in the
early years ofhis life. He was one of the
sons of Rev. Septimius Robinson,
who was pastor Of the Congregations
al church here for % years previous
to the time of his death, which occur
red about 40 years ago. Mr.. Robin
son was uncle of j. A. Robinson and
E. s. Robinson of this village.
His last wife is a sister of A. A.
Leland of Johnson.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TINES: While the
subject of the selection Of appropriate
sites for the erection of the statues of
our distinguished war and naval heroes
is being vigorously agitated by the press
of the city, it is pertinent to ask: why
should certain sections of the Capital be
ignored and neglected in seeking for suit
able locations for placing those objects
Of artistic beauty in which our citizens
ard the people of the nation at large are
supposed TO have an equal interest? The
greater Northwest section has by the in
cidental crossings or intersection of
streets and avenues, and by a fortunate
allotment or distribution of handsome
parks, circles, triangles, and other pub
lie reservations, numerous spaces very
suitable and easily utilized for such
adornments as are so profusely scattered
through this growing and most interest
ing portion of the city.
To the present time the eastern portion
Of the city has but two public statues;
not for lack of suitable locations for plac-
ing them, surely, but, doubtless, because
they have been overlooked while going
a-begging for sites in the greater North
west Looking toward the Southeast,
please tell us what is the matter with
those beautiful small parks on either side
of Pennsylvania Avenue, in the vicinity
Of Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Streets. The
wide space formed by the intersection of
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue with North Caro-
lima and South Carolina Avenues and
their intersecting streets is the most in
teresting and beautiful spot, unadorned
as il still is, except by trees and small
flower beds. within the boundaries Of
the city. No person can pass through
that part of Pennsylvania Avenue with
out being impressed with the beauty of
the section and Its fitness to receive a
share of the wealth of statuary lavisheG
so freely upon the greater Northwest.
Here are nearly or quite n dozen parks
each large enough for a statue; and why
some of them have not been selected for
such Improvement is a mystery Should
the contention of The Times be favorably
regarded by the committee in charge of
locating the coming Grant statue, viz, to
remove the Dupont statue and put Grant
in its place, why would 1t not he one of
the most appropriate and just things to
do-the erection of Dupont In one Of the
larger parks on the line of Pennsylvania
Avenue southeast? What do Southeast
citizens say to this proposition?
| will suggest further that, In the
course of events, Washington is in the
future to receive many more sculptured
effigius OF the great men-and women |
believe-of Americas nobility. Besides
Farragut and Dupont, there are others
among our naval heroes of all our wars
who have not been hOnored by n statue
in the Nations Capital. There are no finer
opportunities for planting these elegant
memorials OF heroic men than are Of
mentioned, so far as they will go. When
shall we see statue of Admiral Porter
in Washington? c. r.
