Regret Death of c. nj.
Bailey at Newport
Continued from page u


March 4th 1852 in North Troy,
the son of Charles F. Bailey and
Sarah D. Dean o. Berkeley, Mass;
His father, a soldier of the Civil
War, lost his life at Fortress Mon
roe.
He learned the carpenters trade
and was identified with several m
dustries in his home town of
North Troy and was manager OF
the then thriving Excelsior Manu-
featuring Co., of E. Hapgood and
Co., when he was appointed by
President Cleveland Collector of
Customs in 1885. When the ad-
ministration changed, he was re-
tanned under Harrison and trans
felred to Newport
On the death of Hon. John l..
Edwards in 1895. Mr.. Bailey was
made Deputy collector in charge
of the port of Newport. During
the years that the Newport port
was a separate district, he held
important positions under Ben
jamin Human, Col. Z. C. Mansur,
and Col. C. S. Emery. When the
two collectors districts were con-
solidated with headquarters at st.
Adams, Mr.. Bailey was again APP
pointed in charge of the local Of
flee and upon the resignation of
c. A. Bancroft, he was made dep
uty collector in charge of this
port. He retired from the United
States customs service on March
Sd 1922 having reached the age
limit with his 10th birthday and
roundabout 337 years of active
and honorable service in the var
ious branches Of the department.
September 18th, 1887 he was
united in marriage to Addie A.
Bisbee, daughter of Capt. John
Bisbee of North Troy. OF the two
children born to them, Charles
died in infancy and the daughter,
Mrs. Clara Jeanette Wiley is the
last surviving member of the fam
lily.
Mr.. Bailey was not a member of
any fraternal organization He
was an attendant and contributor
of the First Congregational
church.
While his health was known 70
be gradually failing, it was much
more noticeable during the past
month, and he was only confined
to his bed five days, his death be
ing due to cerebral hemorrhage.
The death of so good and true
am an brings forth many express
ions of Sincerest regret from the
hearts of large part Of the com
munlty.

Spring Flowing"

Many years ago rural member Of
Congress arose in his place in the
House end asked that the Speaker
grant him leave Of absence, explain.
ing that he wanted to fix up his fences
and attend to other matters at home.
1t happened to be the year of a con-
sressioual election and there was more
than suspicion that the matters the
member wanted to attend to related
to his reelection. The phrase fixing
up his fences" became incorporated
into the political language Of the coun-
try and is used constantly by persons
who have no idea Of its origin.
A few days ago another rural mem.
Der arose in his place in the House
and asked that the Speaker grant him
leave Of absence, explaining that he
had to attend to spring plowing. This
also happens to be the year Of a con-
gressional election, and the laughter
which greeted the request indicated
curiosity as to the nature Of the plow-
ing the member wanted to do. Spring
slowing" could apply to politics as fit
tingly as fixing fences" and it may
be that the political language of the
future has been given another phrase
as rich in meaning as it will be obscure
in origin.

Senate Voices Peoples Will.

The will of the American people was
fittingly expressed in the Senate yes
terday when the naval limitation
treaty and the treaty relating to the
use Of submarines and noxious gases
were ratified by practically unanimous
vote. There was q splendid absence of
partisanship in the debate which pre-
ceded the vote and. of course. in the
vote itself, and whatever differences
Of opinion were expressed were not in
opposition to tightening the burdens Of
armament or decreasing the horrors
Of war.
Whatever doubt the world may have
had as to the extent Of American
sentiment in favor of limiting arna-
nent should be effectively dispelled by
yesterdays vote. Americans under
stand, even If foreigners do not. the
differences Of opinion over the four
power treaty. They understand that
opposition to 1t was prompted by be-
lief, which majority OF Americans
think was erroneous, that it was cal
culated to involve us in foreign en-
tanglements, and those senator's who
voted against it are credited with none
but patriotic motives. But it must be
plain to all today that without the
four-power treaty the naval limitation
treaty could not have been ratified
with such practical unanimity, even
II it could have been ratified at all.
When the remaining conference
agreements have been ratified, now
only matter of a few hours. the
stamp of complete success will have
been placed on the work Of the Wash
inKton conference. There will be sym
pathy with Senator Borahs expressed
hope that the naval treaty should be
regarded as only beginning; but the
fact remains that it is a beginning, a
very substantial one. and the first real
beginning the world ever has made.
Man progresses toward better things
chiefly by evolution, rather than revo-
luton, and it is inconceivable that fu-
ture steps will be backward rather
than forward.
1t is fervently to be hoped that the
lesson OF the Washington conference
will not be lost at Genoa. If the ma
tions with vital interests in the Pa
cifie could so compose their differences
dc to make limitation Of naval arma-
nent possible. the nations Of Europe
ought certainly to find a way Of ad-
justment which would enable them to
lessen the crushing burden Of arma-
ment on land. Their need is much
greater than was the need of the ma
tions which sat In Washington and
achieved results Of such benifieence.

But the question Of reparations is,

enlightened self-fnterest forbid that
the measure Of Germany's punishment
should be determined by the puniall.
nent Germany probably would have

American opinion held at the Paris
peace conference, and has not since
changed. that desire for revenge played
too large q part in fixing the sum
total Of reparations-that $53, 900 ,000,.
600 was not only a sum too great for
Germany to pay. but was much more
than the allies had a right to demand
under the terms of the armistice.
Americans have believed that the repa.
rations should be scaled down to q
more practical figure. but they have
not condoned the dishonest attempts
Germany has persistently made to
avoid paying even such sums as she
has capacity to pay.

lied under the peace treaty in case Of
default. France believes. for example,
that she ought long ago to have occu.
pied the Ruhr basin. The latest pro.
posal Of the reparations commission
represented a further yielding OF
French desires to British opinion. Now
that these terms, which the French
thought far too mild, have been re.
jected. it is too much to expect that
the French people and government
will continue to be patient. Certainly
the American people would not be
patient under like circumstances.

the south want our American mer.

clearly and powerfully than any bill
we have seen before the way in which
we can secure and keep it,
This contention that support Of an
adequate merchant marine Is good
democratic doctrine is logic. of course,
for it is good national doctrine. The
south IS, showing increase Of senti-
ment for a protective tariff for it's
products, which the north has long
recognized as good national doctrine,
particularly maintained in the past by
one political party.
Senator Ransdell's invocation Of
support for the pending bill was not
sectional. however, his appeal to the
southerners being only an incident.
He pointed out how necessary will be
the creation Of a fleet Of merchant
auxiliaries to the maintenance OF
proper ratio Of naval strength between
the United States and Great Britain.
as proposed in the naval limitation
treaty now before the Senate.
Great Britain, he explained, has 146
ships Of the combined passenger and
cargo type. while the United States
has only forty-four such vessels. He
contended that if the United States is
to remain at its present level, so far
as these fast ships are concerned, even
though our naval ships would be equal
in tonnage. Great Britain's full naval
strength would be much in excess of
ours.
These considerations are worthy Of
attention and consideration by demo-
Gratis and republicans. southerners
and northerners. The naval treaty is
not political, the ship subsidy bill
ought not to be political. 1t will soon
be to the fore in Congress. and it
ought to be considered along broad ma.
tional lines, without partisanship.

Germany Defiant.

A very serious situation is created
by refusal Of the German government
to assent to two important features of
the reparations commissions program
for adjustment and stabilization Of the
entire reparations question. Chan
cellor Wirth, in his recent formal state.
ment at Berlin, put aside as mot feast
BILE" the demand for q tax levy of
60, coo, 100000 marks. and announced
also that the government had decided
to reject the proposal for q measure of
financial control ever Germany by the
allies.
Having thus. declared itself, the
Wirth government will not expect, of
course, to be granted the partial mora
torium in 1922 reparations payments
provided in the reparatiohs commits
sion program. Yet the Wirth govern
ment insists that it 10 utterly impos-
sible to meet the 1922 schedule Of pay
ments. What, then, does Germany In
tend to do about it, and what will the
allies do?
One of the most frequent causes Of
complaint against Germany. especial
ly Of French complaint, has been, that
the German people were not adequate
ly taxed, much less heavily taxed, in
fact. than the peoples Of some Of the
victor nations. Even Americans,
though they had only an indirect In
terest, have felt that it was . perver-
sion Of justice that the victors in the
war, who fought only because they
were attacked, should be more heavily
burdened in consequence Of it than are
the agsressors, who were defeated.
And all the world knows that had Ger.
many been victorious theSe would have
