Some Town Meeting Bnsiness.

At the town meeting it was voted TO
give 500 for each cemetery voted that
$500 be raised for roads TO take adyan-
tage of the state aid law; voted to raise
$500 for resurfacing roads, the same
amount being given by the state; school
tax for the year 81; general tax $1.50 i.
highway tax 30 cents in addition to the
amount required by law, making the to-
tai town tax SO.
The meeting was enthusiastic. Was
il because the women had a word to say,
too? And they did it well. However,
it is the proper thing for the citizens
to get together and discuss freely ques-
tiOnS Of Importance to the town. The
town is in debt and several citizens had
the grit to discuss publicly, not behind
the town officials backs, possible means
of remedying the same. Nevertheless,
why wait until town meeting day TO tell
the selectnlen what to do and how to
do it, If, for instance, when the bridge
above IhompSonburg, between London
derry and Chester, was being repaired,
and most citizens thought "A temporary
bridge costing possibly 50 could have
been put in, instead OF blaming the Sc
lectmen for closing the road and using
another, unfit for heavy traffic Nand
which win cost $500 for damage done
to that, why do not the citizens help
the seectmen at the time OF need with
their suggestions

pages of the Congressional Record. A senate.

ator, behind the barrier of his office. calls worse
names. The private citizen comes back with
the complimentary statement that one senator
is a "cowardly vagabond' and a dirty repro

The constitutional protection thrown around
members of congress in connection with remarks
made on the floor is sound, but there are times
when the privilege is greatly abused. It is a
question whether some of the remarks made
with reference to persons who are handicapped
in replying would find expression if the Off
cial did not feel the protection of his position.
There can be such a thing as refinement
IN personal attack. Former President Wilson
is now exemplifying that fact. In his attack on
Senate Reed, of Missouri, Mr.. Wilson uses no
term that one gentleman combating another
might not use. A "marplot" is the worst he
has called the Missourian. But all that marplot
means is one who by meddlesome interference
mars or illustrates a design" For instance, Sen
actor Reed has a design to return to the senate.

NOTICE to SUBSCRIBERS:
THEY SUPPORT HARDING.

Efforts of certain Democratic leaders to
get satisfaction out Of the Republican primaries
in Indiana and Pennsylvania are likely to have
results more academic than practical. They
would like to believe that the primaries consti-
tute reputation of the administration Of Presi-
dent Harding.
1t must be a bit disappointing to Democratic
leaders to have Albert ]. Beverage. nominees
for senator N Indiana. say that he will support
President Harding if the republican party elects
him in November. Clifford Pinchot, Republican
nominee for governor of Pennsylvania also ex-
presses his allegiance to the national admins
~tration.
While the machine politicians of Pennsyl-
vania received something of a jolt in the sue
cess of Mr.. Pinchot, long known as a progress
s.ve of the Roosevelt clan, there is no reason to
believe that there will be in that state a political
revolution that will put the Democratic candi-
date into office.
The situation in Indiana is different, for
that state is not so thoroughly welded to poll
teal idols as is Pennsylvania. There is always
a fighting chance for the major positions in In
diana, and there may be dissatisfaction over
the nomination Of Mr.. Beverage which will re-
suit to the benefit of the Democratic candidate.
The point is that there is not the ground
swell" of a revolt against the Harding admin
~istration which was proclaimed by Democratic
leaders when the returns were first received.
Closer consideration of the results in both In
dana and Pennsylvania indicate that the fight
was within the political family. and there is
little reason to believe that it will be carried TO
the election in November with Dromise of aid
ing the Democratic candidates.

RUSSIA'S BID TO WORLD.

The nations must generally recognize the
fact that Russia needs assistance to a much
larger extent than the ability Of the soviet
government to offer anything in the way of
commercial advantages. Great Britain entered
into a trade treaty with the bolshevists, but the
benefits have been practically nothing.
The soviet delegates in Genoa seeing what
they believed to be an opportunity to getting
demands that have placed Russia in a ridiculous
light before the nations not directly concerned
in the conference, and they are certain to be
rejected by the conference itself.
Russia is practically a national mendicant-
Reports of huge stocks of raw materials which
would be of advantage to the United States ap-
pear to be largely Pigments of the imagination.
Trade with Russia would be a credit proposition
of the most doubtful kind, in view of the char
acter Of the men in charge Of the government.
1t is plain that if Great Britain and France
Russia it will be more because of fear of the
military threat of the bolshevists than because
of any benefits they expect to get in return
from the soviet leaders, who plainly care moth
ing for the interests of other natiorns of Europe.
The attitude of Secretary of State Hughes
towards the bolshevist government is quite well
known, and it seems likely that President Hard
ing is entirely in sympathy with these views.
Members of congress who seem anxious to yield
to bolshevist Russia will do well to wait the
action of the executive department.
