They are also building an Office for

just Censure.
Pittsbnrg Times.
Rev. w. J. Holland, d. d., chan
cellor OF the Western university, In
letter to the editor of The Times
stating that he knows The Times to
be friend OF truth makes it known
that he desires to correct certain
impressions Internationally created
through the wide publicity given by
Pittsburg newspapers TO reports as to
the conduct Of the university students
at the Dental college commencement,
denies that the religious exercises
were interrupted, that the students
were elected by the police, and that
the medical students were the only
and chief offenders. DR.. Holland says
that the boys left quietly at his in
vitation and that the medical students
in manliness and intelligence, compare
favorably with students Of like insti-
buttons.
Dr. Holland denies the statement
OF religious journals that the previous
commencement have been scenes OF
disorder, but admits that students Of
other departments have "guyed" the
medicals several times. He states
that there was no intended insult to
President Jerome Raymond. OF the
University of West Virginia, Rev. j.
Crockar White, d. D., or himself, and
that while the conduct was reprehen-
sible it was without malice. He de-
clares the alleged Kissing during Pres.
ldent Raymond's address was simply
quiet warning of majority against
a thoughtless few. DR.. Holland calls
attention to the student resolutions
and says that while he is not an apol-
ogist for disorder, the reputation OF
s'his boys" is very precious, and that
he does not propose that they shall
be held up TO unmerited censure.
The above letter is gem. or
course we know that "his boysn are
no worse than students in other insti-
buttons of the same character-in
but In half civilized
like West Virginia where
we have but recently emerged from
we think that such con-
iuct can not possibly be pallated, and
The work only Of half-baked savages.
We cannot conceive how any one who
las the faintest-idea of how gentle
nan should act under any circum-
stances would be guilty of the offenses
which ''his boys" committed. We
,hink that the very best thing that
he doctor can do is to keep his
mouth very tightly closed on the SUBJ
ect and let the disgraceful exhibition
e forgotten as soon as possible.
There can be no palliation nor excuse
ind any further agitation of the mat
,er can only drag the wounded insti-
ution still further into the mire.

SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST
CHANCE TO OBTAIN A BUSINESS
EDUCATION.
1.-THE AMERICAN WILL HELP THREE
YOUNG PERSONS TO HELP THEM
SELVES-THIS TELLS HOW.

Now is the time for Ellsworth's
young people to hustle for the free tuitio
offered by THE AMERICAN at the Shaw
business college. As previously stated
THE AMERICAN has at its disposal
three scholarships at this college.
By scholarships" is really meant tuition
fee. We have three of these; one for six
months, worth SIS; one OF three months
in the stenographic course, worth S32,
and one of three months in the regular
business course, worth S24. That is to
say: Any person going to the Shaw
business college from Ellsworth. or from
anywhere else, would pay those sums for
tuition.
The Shaw business college has branches
at Houlton, Augusta and Portland; it is
one OF the best organizations OF the kind
in the State. 1t was established in 1884,
and it has been uniformly successful from
the start. The successful contestants
have their choice Of going to either OF
the above named places.
THE AMERICAN having these "scholar-
ships" at its disposal, offers them to the
three most popular young persons OF Ellis
worth; these three to be determined by
popular vote.
This is voting contest; the prizes are
three scholarships; who shall have these
is to be determined by the votes Of
friends. Below are printed two ballots.
The first ballot cut out of this paper ana
sent to this office with the name OF a
candidate on it will count one
When one of the second ballots, accom-
panied by s1.5O and the name OF new
subscriber, is received it will count thirty.
The contest will close with the last
mail received on.Saturday, Sept. 81 and
the young person in the city of Ellsworth
receiving the largest number of votes will
be entitled to six months tuition in the
Shaw business college; the person receiv-
ing the second largest number, to three
months tuition in the stenographic
course, and the person receiving the third
largest number to three months tuition
in the regular course.
Following are the ballots:

Accepting Favors an Art.

"There are a great many friendships
ruined by the unwiIlingness on one side
or the other to accept favors," writes Edith
Webster in Ladies' Home Journal.
1.-TWO school girl friends united by
many congenisl ties are forced apart be-
cause the poorer one foolishly thinks that
she should make some return for the
pretty gifts, the party invitations, the
tickets to concerts or matinees which her
friend loves to remember her with. She
knows that she is unable to make any re-
turn, so refuses the good times, and by
doing so not only deprives her friend of
the keenest delight, but herself of many
opportunities for pleasure, and the family
circle at home of the recital of the fresh
and novel experience which contact with
the world outside of her home would
surely bring her.
"Favors are of many sorts. 1t some
times happens that a wealthy woman
may wish to send girl to college, to help
her in her music, to encourage her i'll her
desire for an art education; she may give
her books, take her out with her and give
her opportunities for hearing great
artists. When a girl has such favors
offered her she should accept them grace
fully and with a clear conscience. The
favors are not all on one side; her bright
face and enthusiastic appreciation mean
much to the woman who is fortunate
enough to be able to dispense favors.

Hides and TallOw,
When We Criticise Our Friends.

w men we tflt1c1Se Our Friends.
There are two kinds of mistakes: mis-
takes of moment and trivial mistakes"
writes Edward W. Box in ladies' Home
Journal. "Undou btedly the best service
which one friend can render another is
to save him from mistake liable to be
true friendship.
But in these days of criticism, when
we are apt to criticise everything and
everybody, we are all too apt to correct
mistakes which are absolutely trivial and
not worth correcting. And yet in calling
attention to them we often hurt the feel
ings OF our best friends. Not one of us,
his mistakes pointed out. We may appear
not to mind corrections, and accept them
with smile; but it is human nature to
smart under correction, alt though some of
US may be clever enough to conceal the
smart. Hence, the fewer mistakes we call
attention to in Others the better.
Two-thirds of the mistakes we make
are trivial. Their correction is unimport-
ant. Why, then, notice them? Yet some
people do, and do so constantly. A per-
son speaks of having done a certain thing
on Thursday, when in reality it was done
on Wednesday. If no important point is
involved why call attention to the mis-
take? What good does it do to have the
exact day set right? 1t is matter OF no
Importance, so why insist upon correcting
the trivial error? Staunch friendships
have often been pricked by this needle of
useless correction. 1t is great art-this
art of learning to allow OF hers to be mis-
taken when the mistake is unimportant
Few learn it, but those who do are among
the most comfortable friends one can
have"

Contestants must not expect these
plums to drop right into their laps; work
is necessary, and work will win. Interest
your friends for you; get those of them
who do not take The AMERICAN to sub
scribe for it; they will get their mouey's
worth, and will do you a good turn at the
same time. If they are already subscrio-
ers, get them to send it to an absent rela-
tive or friend.
1t will not be found difficult to secure
subscriptions to THE AMERICAN. 1t is
admittedly far and away the best paper
printed in the:county; in fact it is the
only county paper. Don't contine your

Here is chance, free for ALL Any
young person who wishes to attend a

by putting in a little time and work
this summer.

PRESENT-DAY THOUGHTS,
copyrighted by Dave Il Tabor.
BY G. GRosvENoR DAVE.

Look and learn from the armed camp of
Europe, where, by reason OF false ideas of
safety, the sons of the people are offered
to the Moloch of militarism. 1t is a pit
liable condition of disregard for the high
est hopes and purposes of the young.
If we compare the condition there with
the one that prevailed here prior to April,
1898, We have cause for the most justif-
able pride. Though blessed with popula
ton that has increa 'ed by leaps and now
exceeds seventy million, though called on
to guard 5000 miles of coast line, and to
control J, 81 eco square miles of territory,
we have not found it necessary to main
tain an army larger than 5000. Even
that number more than included the
venturesome spirits who were too restless
to work, for it has been we'll understood
that there has been great difficulty in
even keeping the army up to peace foot
ing. We have proved that this handful
was sufficient for our needs, and it has
been cause for surprise in Europe where,
as previous letters have stated, the con-
ditions are almost reversed.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1898-08-03

To show how mistaken this clamor
will prove to be, we need only to look at
our own internal safety and quietude,
and to see how it has been brought. Free
speech, free press, free pulpit, and ma
jority rule have lead US safely along to the
present. The widest theorists have been
able to expcnd their energies in talk in
stead of being repressed and forced to sup
posed martyrdom; and each and all of
them has had the Pickering light of ma
jority dancing along ahead and keeping
them out OF mischief Also those who
have had no theories, have been just con-
tent to live and move under happy condi
tions, though repression and injustice
might, under other circumstances, have
transformed their sweet content into the
vitriol OF revolution.
Human nature is very similar wherever
we go. The blood is red beneath the
darkest skin. The heart can feel though
the language is strange. If, therefore, in
our new possessions we grant the reforms
that are needed; if we deal fairly with
poor, trembling wretches whose souls Will
rejoice at the faintest glimmer of rights,
we shall have no serious difficulties with
them. Successful administration in such
a case and in practically all cases "a lesson
Europe is slow to learn consists in doing
justice and showing religious liberation.
Just men and upright in public positions
at every point we control Will be mighter
for peace and for success than the most
imposing army we can gather together.
In fact let it be said we doubt the pro-
priety of the United States taking any
outside territory if there is to be reliance
on mere physical force for its retention.
We have not been brought up with such
weak, bol-tered, crutched ideas of gov
ernment.

increased twelvefold and our navy has
grown to include 2S5 vessels of all de-

that the nervous and fearful, who see
dangers in shadows and mountains in
mole hills, and who confuse conquest and
administration, should denand a great
increase of permanent character in both
army and navy.

We have done well to regard an army as
being of minor Importance. How I'M
erringly the instinct Of our people has led
US may again be learned by looking
abroad. 1t would not be fair to intimate
that these vast European armies are MAIN
tanned in order to control the home pop
ulation; that is far from true. Yet the
nation is made to feel that its very ex-
istence depends upon that OF the army
much as a drowning man will clutch at
any object, even though it sink him-the
army by transference Of thought comes to
regard itself in wrong light.
From feeling of self satisfaction there
is the advance to a feeling OF doubt re-
garding other means of national mainte
nance. Then grows up the tendency to
repress the popular will, and so, despot-
ism. This is true of autocratic Russia,
of kaisercratie Germany, and OF bureau
cratic France. Our peaceful, energetic,
useful nation has done vel to refuse
hitherto the temptation Of a large army.
So far, except during times of public
danger, the army has been Kept to police
proportions and the common people have
held their rightful positions as kings OF
our fate. rs nation of farmers, traders
and mechanics We have been too busy to
show our spirit of combat except at the
time that it Was needed.
