SociaIism's appeal to Reason"

'"The Socialists of some of the lead
ing cities of Maine began some time
back to circulate petitions praying the
Legislature to enact q law permitting
More than $500 persons signed the petit
ton, and to the surprise of every one,
the Legislature enacted the bill and
the governor signed it. The law must
now pass the gauntlet of the supreme
court, that unimpeachable body of
ROBBED monarchs, who are enthroned by
the citizenship of the republic in order
that the people may not have too much
liberty"
The abo<e dirty little slur at our SUI
preme court and general judicial sys-
ten is from a western sheet curiously
misnamed the appeal to Reason"
which occasionally comes to our desk
through the kindness of some unknown
friend. The quotation is mild and de-
vile and nauseating rant with which
il seeks to bring about industrial chaos
and anarchy through the guise of So
cialism. There is nothing in it's pages
that appeals to reason but everything
to arouse class feeling and to en-
kindle hatred of employers and of
those in places of authority. Such
Socialism as it breaches is not to be
discussed seriously by intelligent and
patriotic Americans. The law re-
ferred to in the clipping was passed by
the Maine Legislature with no opoo-
sition, but the Socialistic program as
expounded in the appeal to Reason

would make the land a barren desert
and all men unwashed loafers.

An Interesting Story of Custom That

1t might be supposed that steel ship
building on the coast of Maine would
be badly handicapped by the distance
from the supplies of coal and iron,
and that the yards on the Delaware
and in other localities nearer the mines
would be able to get all the business.
But these are not all the factors of
success. The quality of the labor has
much to do with it, Shipbuilding be-
came established on the Maine coast
in the first place, on account of the
good harbors and the nearness to a
plentiful timber supply. When it came
about in the process Of evolution that
steel was taking the place of wood as
building material, the Maine builders.
being men of energy, adaptability and
resource, were not minded to abandon
their business in despair, or let it aban-
don them. They had q thorough theo-
retical and practical knowledge of ship
building, and if it became a question of
changing material, they promptly re-
solved to make the change. If they
were at some distance from the mines
as compared with other builders, they
were resolved to overcome that disad-
vantage by dint of superior workman
Ship by progressive ideas and all that.
The results show how well they have
succeeded. The Bath builders are turn
ing out not only merchant vessels Sec
ond to none in the country, but naval
vessels equal to any. The torpedo

built at Bath are doing good service

Several Presidencies.

An enterprising Boston newspaper
has it all arranged that when Theo-
dore Roosevelt retires from the pres
idency in the spring of 1909 he will sue,
coed President Eliot as the head of
Harvard University. President Eliot
will pass his 69th milestone today. and
while he is still full of vigor, 1T is not
reasonable that he will many years
longer desire or be able to fill the inn
portant place he has filled so long and
so brilliantly. The paper which NOM
mates President Roosevelt as his sue
cessor. half dozen years hence, de-
clares that this is the Presidents own
ambition, the desire to round out his
remarkable public career as the head
of his Alma Mater. The suggestion
will no doubt appeal strongly to the
Harvard Imagination. 1t would be
ica's Oldest and greatest university
though that is little needed,-and the
we'll known strenuousness of the new
"Prex'' would be calculated to give ath-
letics q lively and wholesome boom.
AS to his qualifications, the President
has sufficient fame as a scholar and lit
erary man. and his executive capacity
would not be seriously questioned.
To be sure, all this is dealing in dis
f,,+,, - tho
less interest on that account Prince
ton has partially annexed ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, and if Harvard can get
our present chief executive when the
lapse of years necessitates the writing
of an lex" before his name, the prob
lem What shall we do with our ex-
Presidents?" would be a thing of
an earlier generation. 1t will then re-
main for Yale to see that one of its
sons comes to the executive chair at
New Haven by way of the White
House. 1t has many men high in pub
lie life,-Governor Taft of the Phil
ippines, for instance.
In the matter of the Harvard presi-
dency, it is well understood that on
Several occasions President Eliot has
indicated his preference for President
Hyde of Bowdoin as his successor
when he should be forced to retire from
active service, and for this reason Bow
doin men, and Maine people in gen.
eral, will gladly welcome any move
ment which would prevent the old
Brunswick college from losing its
present head. When DR.. Hyde came to
Rowdoin, IS years ago, he was the
youngest college president in the land,
and only a few years out of Harvard
where, by the way he had been close
personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt.
| He is now everywhere recognized as
one of the brainiest educational leaders
| and deepest philosophical writers of
| our times, and by holding closely to the
! highest ideals, and by maintaining
standards of admission and standards
of graduation unexcelled anywhere, he
has given Bowdoin a proud and unique
position among small colleges. Many
things may happen in the next six
years, but may neither our country nor
the two colleges mentioned lose in that
time their present executives.
