LET THERE BE NO REPUTATION.

The figures presented by Senator Spencer which show, after crediting the costs of each of the Nauons with the proposed separations from Germany the United States has been the greater loser among all the Allies in actual money spent in the war should II found to be correct, put an end to talk ot cancellation of European indebtedness to us Under the circumstances no country can ask the united States to cancel the debt owes us except on basis of repudiation. And this suggests President Hardlngs declaration in his inaugural address that No civilization can survive repudiation"
 Nothing coulG be done that would have greater tendency to prevent the Nations from getting to- gether in any sort of associated arrangement to pre- vent future wars than repudation The natural re- suit would be to increase distrust and National cx clusiyeness.

 There is question but that the United States will be, and ought to be- generous creditor She should make the terms to the other countries able and within 'their ability to meet and to carry on at home at the same time.

The best news that holders of Liberty bonds have the announcement by the British Chancellor that principal and interest of the debt to the United States are to be paid in full This is than be expected of Great Britain, which has defaulted a financial obligation. But it should put talk in this country of cancellation Of that country's and of Europes debts to the United States.

The Cure for AutOcracy.
(NeW York Post.)

In the course of his campaign last year President Harding made of somewhat cryptic phrase which he repeated in his inaugural adress when he pledged himself to an autocracy of service" Yesterday the meaning was made clear enough by the succeeding sentence: Il pledge an Administration wherein all the agencies of Government iare called to serve and ever promote understanding of Government purely as an expression of the popular will" By an auto- cracy of service the President evidently meant that he will be a stern taskmaser He will be an auto- erat in demanding service for the public good and ii deference to the public will In this purpose the country can only wish thes President the fullest ure of success. fft'
 To say that the country is tired of the "autoc- tacy of Roosevelt Wilson is not to say that the country is immune against autocracy henceforth something more than. tbe accident of Roosevets or Wilson's personality will last twenty years of strong rule in the White House interrupe ed only by four years of Taft The Roosevelt traits were enhanced by that movement of social awakening which called for driving leadership; and Roosevelt answered the call The Wilson traits were intensified oy the accession to power of party long out of office and similarly in need of strong leadership Both Roosevelt and Wilson "autocratic in behalf of a cause.

BARUCHS UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE

While the speeches of Senators Thomas, Myers and Walsh of Montana made very clear the innocence of Bernard M Baruch of the charge made against him by Represent tathe and former Senator Billy Mason of Illnoia sthat he had cheated the Govern nent out of $50 00O0 900 in copper profits while he head; of the, War Industries Board and that he and John: D. RyaA had cheated the Government out of another s20G600, 900 for the benefit of copper producing companies, it is doubtful if all their elc quence and statifcs satisfying to the public MT Baruch's statement in his own defense. He said the man who made the charge lis just ordinary damn liar; have already challenged him and I challenge him again to bring his charges in a of justice before the bar of Congress-; that is all have to say about the matter" That understandable language to anyone.
 Senator Thomas showed that MT. Baruch had severed his connection with all of all kinds which were producing for the Government during the war making any sort of profit in connection with the before he accepted the position at the head of the War Industries Board at salary of $1 year except a.tungsen property in California which he owned, and the books of this company showed that every cent of its profits during the were given to the Red Cross.

THE PERSONAL ELEMENT: COUNTS.

In spite of the growth of standataizaton in the organization of g publishing business and the more less elimination of the personal note that predom- mated in and periodicals until the latter part of the 18th century, and the accepted theory that man is s5 useful that someon& equally useful is not near at 'hand to succeed him, we now and again gct concrete evidence that the personal element is that mustfAe dwelt with. An instance in point is set forth in she peadings which resulted in the appointment of receiver for the Lesle-Judge Com pany and the hint that Lese's Weekly and Judge might cease publication in the future. The peti- loss of the services of Col John A. Slecher formerly high cost of labor print-paper and materials is also set out of the of the companys failure to make profit.
 The petitiona declares that the Lese-Judge Com pany lost $150,000 in 1919, $500 900 in 1920 and sl600O in January of this year, with prospect that the total loss for 1921 will nearly or quite equal that of 1920 if publication of Leslies and Judge continues
 The ..petitiont Tor the appointment of receiv el for the Iesie-Judge Company places its liabilities al s2.21o,0o0 and rthe assets at $420,OeO Tho valuo- ton ot the assets is based upon the assumption of suspension of the publications of the company and does not therefore carry anything for good will etc
 Col. Slecher will be remembered by many Juneau ties He visited this city in 1915, and made trir tc the Westward Since his northern Visit Leslies ha been a warm friend of Alaska, and its comment or Alaska problems usually has been based on actual Information and il has been and sane in tone The retirement of the editor and publisher is loss to this Territory as well as to his compan, and profession.

WINTER IN
NORTHERN
VERMONT
Nearly a Foot of Snow In
Some Places and High
ways impossible

Northern Vermont had its first
snowstorm Saturday afternoon
with from six to IL inches in the
towns along the border and as far
south as Willoughby lake. The
storm was accompanied by high
wind which drifted the snow so
badly on the hill towns of Caledo-
mia, Orleans and Essex counties
that many of the roads were ia
passable TO auto,a obiles. Auto
mobiles on the Willoughby road
Saturday afternoon made the trip
with great difficulty and by Sun
day morning the road was closed
to traffic. Word was sent from;
West Burke to the Plymouth
Creamery that it would be impos-
sible to collect the milk and cream
with their truck and they sent up
a two horse team while some of
the milk was transported on ira
verse sleds.
The storm extended over west
and the heaviest snowfall was a.
Walden Heights. There was no
snow around st. Johnsbury until
Monday morning when abou. an
inch fell.
The storm will serve a very use
full purpose if the snow melts, as
is quite likely, by helping fill up
the streams which have been un-
usually low all summer. 1t will
also greatly help the numerous
deer hunters track their game and
the total kill of venison will be in
ceased.

MILK PRODUCERS
WILL MEET In
ST. ]. NOV. Is
Annual Meeting of Dis
trict Association of
n. E. Nj. p. A.

Every farmer in the Caledonia
district of the New England Milk
Producers Association is invited
to attend the annual meeting OF
the district association in st.
Johnsbury, Tuesday, Nov. 10, at
l o'clock in the afternoon, at the
Town hall. Wesley H. Bronson
in charge of the research and STA
teal department o.s the central as
sociation will be present to discuss
some of the important problems
which confront the dairv industry
of New England at the present
time While the meeting is prima-
rily for members of the association
the invitation to attend is extended
to all farmers.
Among the important matters
which will be brought up for dis
cussion by Mr.. Bronson will be
the question of surplus milk and
the price which can be secured for
it under present conditions. This
is a vital matter with the dairymen
as the return for surplus milk is
now so low that it materially re-
duces the net return to the farmer
even with a good price for market
milk. He will also discuss the
milk price in New England as
compared with other sections OF
the country and the price of milk
as compared with the prices of
other farm products.
A general discussion of the fu-
ture of the dairy industry is ex-
pected and general policies will be
defined. The New England Milk
Producers Association is recog-
nized as one of the strongest milk
marketing organizations of the
country and its future policv will
probably be in line with the ma
tional policy which is being work
ed out by the special committee
selected by the American Farr,
Bureau Federation. Richard Pat
tee, managing director of the New
England Association is chairman
of this national committee. His
selection to this place of leadership
is a recognition of the place
which the New England Associa-
tion has made for itself among the
dairy marketing organizations of
the country.
This meeting is one of so similar
meetings which will be held in the
organized districts of New Eng
land next week The meetings in
Vermont will be attended by Mr..
Bronson, Richard Pattee and
Harry l.. Piper, editor of the New
England Dairyman and other
members of the association stan
will speak at the other meetings,
all trying to give the dairymen IN
all districts an idea of the bigness
