admirable field for it's philosophical eff

speakers to lead the discussion the
coming conference cannot fail to be
fruitful of good results. Among the
particular phases of the immigration
problem which will receive attention

desirable elements; the external in

volume of immigration; the methods Of

for agriculture. to points where it may
be needed; the effects of immigration
upon the negro problem in the South;

Boston Journal: The report mat
Harvard would drop Bowdoin IL inc
Maine team played Hafford, IN the
baseball game, next spring, with
Harvard, is absolutely false.
Coach Coburn of the HarVaru
baseball team stated, last night,
that game had already peen
arranged with Bowdoin for June IL.
Heretofore all the Maine colleges have
plaved men who have played on the
summer teams and whose amateur
standings are questionable from the
Harvard point of view. If the men
have not played in one of the Dig
leagues they have been looked upon
as eligible to play against harvard.
The Harvard Baseball staff has peeh
aware of this fact for years. ana II mas
never offered any objection TO the
Maine teams playing such men.
Nearly 60 students, who are men,
bers of the senior class in the Yale
Forestry School, left, last week, in
two groups for the woods of northern
Maine. They will spend the next Two
months in observing practical forestry
and commercial numbering work by
; the companies who conduct LOGGING
camps. The students Will not only
study and observe, but Will be ex-
pected to take some hand in the prac-
teal end of the business, ana upon
their return to New Haven, in Janu-
airy, will be expected to make reports
to the director of the school of the work
done.

A Western friend Of the Journal, VIII

A Western friend Of the Journal, who
writes us that he feels sure the Maine
farmers who are holding their potatoes
for higher prices in the late winter or
spring are making mistake. His
views may be of interest to some of our
readers and so we quote from his let
ter: while 1t is perhaps true that the
crop of 1905 is about 80, 00O.0 900 bushels
short of 1904. at the same time it is
about equal to the crop Of 1903. 1t
will be remembered that the foreign
crop of 1908 was very light and the i'm
portations from Europe small This
and the high prices in this country are
naturally attracting large shipments
from Europe. For instance, German
potatoes are now selling in New York
In large quantities and at good profits.
II Is also well to remember that the
crop of 1904 sold at extreme low prices

A queer tangle in the militia matters
Of Mississippi is revealed by the visit
of Adjutant General Fidge of that
state to Washington. He is trying to
make things right with the federal gov
eminent because about $4,000 worth Of
arms and equipment furnished the ma
tional guard of his state have disap-
peared. The discovery was made when
Gen. Fridge assumed his office, and ne
has been searching in vain for the
property which his predecessor was
supposed to have turned over to him.
He ascertained that the arms ana
equipment supplied to his state during
the past 25 years existed only on the
books of the Acknowledgements Office.
1t is a queer situation. 1T is declared
that the arms and equipment We're
merely neglected by the officers who
should have looked after them. We're
carried off piecemeal, or rOtted and
rusted away in the armories, the Off
GERS certifying from time to time that
they We're still in the safe keeping of
the state This deficit of $4,000 is q
large matter to Mississippi, which is
not rich state. 1t would be possible
for the Washington authorities to force
a settlement in full by Withholding the
$50 900 annually to which Gov Varda-
rams state is entitled under the Dick
law. Certainly the affair shows the
militia system of Mississippi in a very
bad light.

For long time the late J. Sterling
Morton has been regarded as not only
the father of Arbor day but also the
man who first preached to the people
of Nebraska and the other prairie
states the gospel Of tree planting. Now
a Nebraskan editor has arisen to claim
the honor for himself, or rather his
friends are claiming it for him, since,
being an editor he is himself a most
modest man. He is DR.. George l..
Miller: editor for many years of the
Omaha Herald. IT is further asserted
that DR.. Miller got his impulse from
the late HoratiO Seymour of New
York. 1t was a long time before Mr..
Morton took up with the propaganda
that DR.. Miller he'd been preaching i'll
the newspaper which he conducted for
nearly a quarter of a century. DR.. Mil
Ter was a close friend of Mr.. Morton
and his family, and has never claimed
the honor which others are now giving
him. 1t Is admitted that the first
ArbOr day was inspired by Mr.. Morton.
The first proclamation setting apart a
day for tree-planting was issued by
Governor Furnas of Nebraska in 1874,
but two years before that the state
board Of agriculture had passed a
resolution, which Mr.. Morton offered
setting apar. April 10, 1872. as Arbor
day. and giving premiums to the agri-
cultural societies and individuals who

Brunswick has not a general reputa-
ton of being slow, and should a BrunS-
wick person be told that Brunswick is
the slowest town in the state, there
would be apt to be trouble Immediate
ly. However, the New England Tele-
phone Company have only recently
proven that the Brunswick telephone
subscribers are the slOwest of any in
the state to answer their phones. By
means of tests made all over the state,
il was learned that the average time
taken by n subscriber to answer his
telephone is Is seconds, while it takes
the Brunswick people six seconds
longer, or Il seconds. The test is
somewhat of a surprise to the Bruins

One of the most beautiful and artis-
tic pieces of mosaic work ever seen in
this section has just been completed
by Mrs. w. H. Tibbetts of Auburn. 1t
is center table made of shells, agate,
glass. crOckery and buttons, all blend
ed so as to show to the best advan-
tage. The whole surface is then
guided over, presenting a most beauti-
full appearance. She has also complet-
ed two jardineres with their standards
of the same material and the same
style. On the body of the standards
are statuette figures which give an
added beauty to the whole. This work
is very unique as we'll as ingenius.
Mrs. Tibbetts is the daughter of Jacob
Drew, who himself is a man of re-
markable mechanical ingenuity. so
with her the gift is one of heredity.
Mrs. Tibbetts has received many COM
pliments on her work and it is to be
hoped that these elegant designs will
be on exhibition at the next state fair.

to object on the ground that Mrs. Stan

its work and to finish the session as
soon as possible. Nevertheless on that
very day the House adjourned to enable
it's members to attend the funeral or
the late warden of the jail, Mr.. Hol-

incident was not an agreeable one to
the citizens of Honolulu, though the
action of the Senate in adjourning in
Mrs. Stanfords honor, did something
to redeem the situation.

impertinent than the resolutions, aimed
at various Territorial Senator's. which
were adopted last night by the Repub-
lican Central Committee. The para
graphs relating to Senators Bishop,
Dowsett and Lane were not only packed
with personal affronts, but they show
ed that the committee means either to
dictate to these lawmakers or under
take to ruin them We are not aware
that Senators Bishop, Dowsett and
Lane have taken any oath of subserv-
iency to the Central Committee or
that they are under obligations TO it
which are at all comparable to those
they are under to the taxpayers Nor
can they be punished for any disincli-
nation they may have to increase the
taxes for the promotion of misgovern-
ment and graft.
