President Whitman of Colby Universe
ty, when in town Sunday informed the
REPORTER that he did not fully decide
to leave Colby and accept the presiden-
ey of Columbian University, Washing
ton, d. c., until Friday night. He said
he greatly regretted leaving Maine and
Colby and would not do so but for a
strong sense of duty. He said he was
aware that he was open to the charge of
fickeness but he made this change after
mature consideration and for the same
reason he left Portland pulpit three
years ago and came to Colby; because it
seemed to him to be the right thing to
do. The Baptist denomination has
large interests in Washington and it WIS
matter of great Importance, particular
ly at this time, that the best effort be
made to build up and extend the uniyer-
sity of the denomination at the Capital
city of the Nation.

The covered bridge across the East
branch Of the kennebec at The Forks,
shows signs of the bad effect of fast
driving over it, and the County Commits
sioners have posted notices in that
vicinity calling attention to the law and
warning persons against its violation by
driving over the structure faster than a
walk. A word to the wise is said to be
sufficient, but if the people who use the
bridge at The Forks, are like those who
use Skowhegan bridges it will take
something beside words to stop them.
