WILLIAM IT. ABBOTT DIES AT
CAPITAL.

William T Abbott, son of Orrin S
Abbott. died at the Emergency Hos
pital in Washington, d. c. May 29th.
His father will be remembered as a
travelling man in his earlier life and
later as boot and shoe dealer in St.
Johnsbury. William T Abbott was
born in Wells River Feb. 16, 1853. He
was educated in the public schools of
Wells River and st. Johnsbury, later
graduating from Dartmouth college
in 1890. While studying law, he was
teacher of mathematics in the
Manchester, N. H. high school. He
moved to Peoria, Ill. in 1893 and was
admitted to the Illinois bar. In 1894
he was admitted to the firm of
Stevens, Horton & Abbott. In 1900.
he spent eight months studying
political conditions in Porto Rico at

dent of the Central Trust comp any,

matter, and there is a good deal OF
sympathy with this attitude. On the
other hand are lot of sympathetic
folks who think France should not be
SO hard on the former empire of the
Kaiser
The whole matter rests on whether
you think the interests of the debtor
or the creditor are superior. There
is no question that as a matter of
moral as well as legal right, Ger
many owes the debt. But many
kind-hearted individuals declare that
it is not to the interest of Germany
to pay now. She should be allowed
to build herself up, to restore her
industries, to extend her commerce,
and then out of the plethora of
wealth that will be hers, to pay the
debt, if she has not become suffi-
GENTLY strong to repudiate it.
This is all very well in a way. 1t
is little hard to extract blood from
a turnip, and if half the sorry tales
that Germany tells of her own con-
dition are true, she is very much in
the position of the turnip. There are
some reasons for believing, however,
that if the people of Germany were
subjected to burden of taxation
corresponding to that which practical
ly all the other allied countries are
being compelled to pay, she would be
abe to meet her PREPARATIONS pay
ments.
France really had some rights in
the matter, as the creditor. Her
resources were more seriously depict
ed than were those of Germany. Her
man-power suffered more Her credit
was subjected to a more severe
strain. 1t would, really seem that
the creditor has some few rights
which should be respected AS a
matter of expediency it might be
wise for France to be easy for a
time on Germany. AS a matter of
simple right, however, she is entitled
to be as hard as she wants in the
effort to collect her bill.
We see by the papers that they
have arrested fifteen hundred
officers of the Irish Republican
party. 1t is probable that the
Irish army is like the Kentucky
army, no prlvates to
speak of.
Some of the politicians seem to
think that it was woman bloc"
in Indiana and Pennsylvania but
from later reports it seems that
a money bloc" was at the root

THE PRESIDENTS VETO

A short time ago the News pointed out to those who seemed to, be worrying about the passage of the Bonus Bill, that they should do their worrying after the President had signed the oiA, making i1 law. .Lat he would veto it seemed certain to US, for in it's present forn: together with the financial condition of the country, no other honorable action on his part renamed. His veto not only proves that he merits the con fidence which the people, have placed in him, but also Shows that ne is sufficiently free from political mis- alliances to do that which he consid- CTS right even though the cost vii! be blasted political hopes. .E
 The passage of the Bonus Bill by the senate and house had all the ear marks of political fence-fixing. This was but natural, for every. senator and congressman who was up for re- election this fall appreciated what it would mean to lose the votes of eX- service men. It has given hem the opportunity to appear in the right light to these men,, But doesn't 1t seem like taking rather mean ad- vantage of the president? Now to square themselves with ehe civilian voters they will undoubtedly uphold the presidents veto. Possibly this is a pessihnistic view of Eheir actons, but if so, the much-vaunted intelligence of these lawmakers is not up to that standard for which they have been given credit. ..s. +', ..-
 The basis given by the president for his veto places him in much more favorable light in the eyes of the majority, we feel sure. His reasoning is sound and will appeal to all who have the interests of their country, which is their own welfare, at heart. His foresightedness visual izes the future need of ex-service men who at present are in good health and capable of earning live lihood. And with this visualization of future needs comes the realiza- tion that duplication of the present Bonus Bill, or something similar, would be necessary several years hence, with the result that the coun- try at large would be forced to carry a burden in the form of" taxes that would be unbearable.
 Regardless of politics, thinking men and women everywhere will offer a word of appreciation for the presi dents action.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
To the Editor of the "News": i:

10 the EQlLOr OL Cue NeWS
 The interest in our "Home Town" created by your paper, prompts the inquiry as to what can be done to further improve our town. Is not one of the most important first things to be done to provide some means to iquidate our town indebtedness?
 This being an age of progress, the next generation may have need, for their comfort and happiness, of some thing of which we know nothing about to-day, so why should wealeave them to pay for worn out improve ments, which we are enjoying and which may be obsolete, twenty years hence? Should not the same wise foresight of the thrifty man or wom- an be used in town affairs as we'll as in personal matters, and begin at once to pay off this indebtedness?
 Aside from providing for the re- tirement of one railroad bond each year we are not systematically try ing to reduce the town debt.
 The last annual report 192D :, shows this to be $32,O59.58, after deducting the $13,000 of railroad

Editor of the News:
 From present indications. we are soon to have surplus of one public hall in our town, and the school officials tell us that already we have a shortage of room in our public schools. We can see no reason why our Town Hall cannot be remodeled to make a very comfortable high school, at a cost much less than if a new building is erected within the next few years. Some definite ac- tion regarding the Town Hall should be taken at the coming town meet ing, as the roof must be replaced, and the walls in their present condl- tion are a disgrace to the town. If the building were to be used for school purposes, two rooms on the south end of the lower floor could be reserved for court room and town offices, the lookup could be placed in the basement, thus leaving the re- mainder of the building for the school. As the education of the fu- ture citizenship of Canaan is our most important town obligation, pro- vision should be made for proper housing when and as required, and this proposition appears to be pos sible of accomplishment with the least outlay of money in proportion to the benefit to be derived.

With the present Grand List it would require only about twelve (12) years to wipe this out, the railroad bonds would be paid off and the town out of debt.
