Bangor Liquor Cases.

In the supreme court at Bangor, Aug.
Goth, an Indictment against Mrs. Catherine
Murray was mol pressed. On demurred
case from the February term, however, the
same respondent was sentenced to six
months at hard labor in the county Jail and
the mittimus suspended on condition that
she should stay out of the business forever.
The liquor Indictment against Frank w.
Durgin, proprietor of the Windsor Hotel,
was mol pressed
County Attorney Smith, in addressing
the court, said SIN taking up the case
against the respondent, l wish to state that
all the indictments for liquor nuisance were
made against men who did not cancel their
stamps at some time prior to June 30. No
Indictment was found against any man who
surrendered his stamps prior to that date "

The offer to Columbia University OF
an endowment of 100000 for a school
of journalism by Joseph Pulitzer OF the
New York World has naturally caused
a deal of discussion. Heretofore the
generally accepted idea has been that
editors, like poets, are born, not made;
and there is no lack of evidence to sup
port it. But there have been many
changes since the days of Horace Gree
lev and the elder Bennett; and to estab
lish daily newspaper in great city
now calls for large capital and men OF
ability and experience in all of the de-
partments. In fact, journalism is be-
coming more and more a profession;
not a calling which any one may take
up at haphazard with any assurance
of success. Time was when it was the
custom to make light of college gradu-
ates who sought employment in news
paper offices; but it is now recognized
that college education is good thing,
while not the whole thing by any means.
The Lewiston Sun is one of the few
newspapers we have seen which regards
this proposed school of Journalism with
disfavor. 1t says that Journalism can
never be profession in the sense that
law. or medicine, is; that the editor
''must not be specialist; and that "a
;cI cohno1 aov mot Ia N nIifnr
any more than poet But the Sun
recognizes that the editor must know
things: and why can not some of them
at least be taught in a school of jour
nalism? The San says:
The editor needs to know the COM
mon things the teacher teaches; he
needs some familiarity with the Bible,
with which the preacher is altogether
familiar: he needs to be familiar with
the great principles of the common
law, which the lawyer knows in their
detailed application; he will be greatly
helped by accurate understanding of
the great principles of life which the
physician is familiar with in minute
detail
But the editor needs to know ever so
much more than that. Some of the
things the editor needs to know are:
The common law; tax laws and princi-
pies of taxation; laws affecting munich
bal government: Constitutional law.
State and National; international law;
the constitutions of other great nations;
history especially current history, the
history of the past generation, the his
tory Of the past century, of the great
ling the production and distribution of
wealth; finance, including taxation, cur
rency, banking: the characteristics and
relative Importance of great industries;
literature, is, familiarity with
some of the masterpieces and appre-
citation of literary quality. Consistent
with that would be some acquaintance
with and sensitiveness to music, paint
ing, or architecture. And he would be
better if he had friends among the
birds and beasts, the trees and stars.

The Nebraska Republicans, in con-
vention last week, named 1avorlte
son. John L. Webster, to be their choice
for Vice President in 1904. The plat
form adopted begins with congratula-
tons on the overthrow of Organism in
the home of its nativity: and adds chat
we have made it manifest that there is
no permanent place in American poll
tics for presidential leader who bases
his claims for popular support upon the
failures or disappointments OF the peo-
pie" President Roosevelt is heartily
endorsed, and the platform continues:
We adhere to the American protec-
tive policy of the Republican party,
which has increased the revenues ana
not impeded trade; which has opened
the door of mills and factories to MIL
lions OF American skilled mechanics,
and is returning to them the higher
wages which are the just recOmpenSe OF
their toll.
The Republican party recognizes that
legitimate business, fairly capitalized
and honestly conducted, has increased
our industries at home and expanded
our trade abroad and enabled us SUE
cessfuly to compete with foreign coun-
tries in the markets of the world, but
the Republican party is unalterably op-.
posed to all combinations Of capital
under whatever name, having for their
purpose the sitting of competitor and
arbitrarily controlling production for
fixing prices.

The yachting experts in sizing up the
Reliance and Shamrock III. said that
the latter boat might be dangerous in
light winds and in drifting match, but
that under all other conditions the de
fender was superior. Thursday, Aug.
goth, light winds prevailed and the drift
ing match came off; but the Shamrock
was not in it. Then the Britishers de-
clared that what they wanted was wind,
and lots of it. The wind and weather
Saturday were just to their liking, but
the Reliance came in minutes ahead
of the Shamrock. The course was fif-
teen miles to windward and return, and
the challenger is said to have made
rather better weather of it than the
defender in individual work in rough
water. The latter was also favored
by slant of wind that is estimated to
have given her one minute to the good.
The Reliance was first around the outer
mark and had her spinnaker and balloon
lib set in short order, while the Sham
rocks crew were slow in getting their

OF course we all admit that Sir
Thomas Upton is good fellow and a
thorough sportsman, but we have no
sympathy with the more or less pTeva-
lent sentiment that because of that he
should be allowed to carry home the
America cup. If he can produce boat
that will do the trick, all right, and we
should grieve less at his capture of the
cup than if it went to such a man as
Dunrayen: but if we can continue to
turn out faster boats than can be pro-
duced on the other side of the water by
all means let us do so. 1t is not mat
ter of sympathy but test OF skill IN
producing racing craft.
