The Paris correspondents are in
clined to boast Il little because no less
n person than the Baron Rothschild
had to spend a day in prison, in addi-
ton to fine. for speeding his auto
mobile. They are disposed to point it
out as a sample of the 'impartial''
French brand of justice which does not
favor person of power and wealth,
rs is done in this country and Eng
land. Perhaps they do these things
better in France, and then again per-
Eaps the baron would never have been
put in prison had he not been of the
hated Jews. French justice is not so
blind but it always sees if the offender
is Jew, and if he is, his pathway
is hard one. The world does not for

The Colby Echo suggests that instead
of rebuilding the dormitory recently
burned, the $4,000 available for this
purpose be used to build four nice
wooden fraternity houses. These could
be built for about $4,000 apiece and
would be an ornament to the campus.
Then the college could ret these houses
to the different fraternities. As it would
do a"ay with the necessity of having a
hall down town, the fraternitieS could
AFFORD to pay more for their houses
than the individual boys can for their
rooms, which would be so much profit
to the college. They could all board at
the proposed Commons and thus the
boys would then be all together three
times day. 1t believes that this plan
would bring boys to the college and
would be of benefit in every way to
the college.

Occasionally an incident occurs which
and strengthens our belief that honesty
| is rot q very rare virtue after all. Who
shall say how many instances of this
kind take place which never come to
| the knowledge of the public? The
other DAY letter was received at
| the Educational Department at the
State House from gentleman who for
merry taught in the schools of Maine.
He wrote that few years ago he
taught what was called a Free High
school in q Maine village. One-half his
salary ($50) was paid by the Stale. He
was convinced at the time that his
school was not properly a High school
as contemplated by the law and was
State. He finished his term, received
his nay and went his way, but the
matter troubled him. AS he became
more familiar with the law and with
the facts regarding the school and the
action Of the town in which it was To-
Gated, he decided that the town had no
claim upon the State for the part of
his salary which came from that
source. He writes, Il 60 not like to
have money that seems to me to have
been taken from the State uniustly."
He therefore returns the amount by
enclosing his check for fifty dollars
and a p. 0. order for four dollars and
fifty cents, that being the interest for
one year and six months-the time
which had elapsed since he received his
pay. He remarks, Il should have sent it
before if various circumstances had not
made it a somewhat slow process TO
get fifty dollars ahead" and closes by
saying, The committee We're square in
their treatment Of me and | am sure
they would not deliberately have de-
tFauded the State" Is not this more
refreshing than the breath of May
morning?

The inability to loan the school
funds the past two years has brought
about a marked change of public SEN
timent in relation to the disposal of
our school lands. Commissioner
Eastman has become fully convinced
that no more of the school lands
should be sold: that the constitution
should be so changed that the lands
could be rented for long terms of
years for farming purposes, having
their rental rates reappraised about
every ten years. 1t is altogether
likely that a measure of this character
will be before the coming session of
the legislature, and will doubtless be
strongly advocated by the land de-
partment, and by the educational in
stitutians of the state.-J. D. Reeves
in Groton Independent.

In spite of the great coal
strike, the country can look
back on 1902 as a year of un-
paralleled progress and prosper
ity. Our immense crops are
all returning good prices. Iron
and steel production has been
record breaking. Pjg-iron alone
made an output Of over 5000, 900
tons. During 1894 the pig-iron
output was only about one-third
of this figure.
In 1892 railway earnings and
| bank clearings were the largest
in history. The Government
postal business and the insur-
ance, telegraph, and telephone
business have been the largest
on record.
For the last five years the
country has enjoyed this increas-
ing prosperity. The upward
trend from depression to activ-
ity dates from the election of
William Mckinley and the pass
age of the Dingley tariff law.
With every man who wants to
work, supplied with a job at good
wages, the buying capacity of
people has been enormous, and
demands for our varied products
have increased even faster in
some instances than the supply
could be furnished.
Of course. there are a few
pessimists who can see no good
in any of it. They view the sit
uation with the usual alarm and
would like to change everything.
Nevertheless, they r them
selves better off in every mater
ial way than they ever were be
fore in their lives. And the bulk
of the people realize the splendid
performance of Republican ad-
ministratlon.
