Tn. Pubic Printer to BE Congratulated.
(Pittsfield Advertiser)

The unanimous report of the legisla-
tive committee, which has put in the
whole winter investigating the matter
of the printing, was just what every
one was looking for in view or the tes-
timony submitted. 1t completely exon
crates the Public Printer and the
State auditor of all the unjust charges
and msinuatiOns made against them
by their enemies. 1t is only just to
these gentlemen, however. to say that
few people ever took the slightest
stock in these charges and insinua-
lions, it being generally recognized
that they were. inspired by personal
and political motives. The closing hear
inss held by the committee We're such

that certain papers that had been very
outspol1en and bitten in their criticism
of the Printer during the earlier hear
ings, found it eXpedient to suppress a
considerable portion of the testimony.
Before the converting of the Legis-
lature these papers had expatiated at
some length upon the beauties Of the
New Hampshire system. At the re-
quest OF Mr.. Nichols the committee
summoned the secretary Of the New
Hampshire Printing Commission to
Augusta to tell them all about it. His
testimony, however, was not what the
opponents Of the Public Printer had
anticipated it would be. He admitted

judging from the editorial page COM
ments and the first page cartoons Of
the newspapers. the Windy City has
been sitting upon the equator during
the past few weeks. The great ques-
ton at issue seems to be that Of muni-
cipal ownership of the street car lines,
and the difference between the two
parties upon this problem lies mainly in
the methods to be employed in obtain
ing possession of the lines. The Re-
publican nominee for mayor is John M.
Harlan. son Of Justice Harlan of the
supreme bench, a man of unquestion-
able ability. OF absolute integrity and
backed by the most respectable ele-
ments Of the city. The Democratic
nominee is Judge Dunno, whose most

Other Lands than Ours.

The results Of higher education in
'rdia and in Japan differ widely. The
bishop of Madras has lately called at
tention to its comparative failure in
India. instruction in western science
and literature is given Il. the English
language, which the average student
has only imperfectly mastered. The
Indian student has always in mind
either q place in the civil service or an
opportunity to gain an advantage in
the world of commerce end finance. Ha
is satisfied to learn by rote that which
his instructors are pleased to impart;
for the Indian is capable of feats IF
memory. In japan, all is different.
Though at the Imperial university the
curriculum prescribed is in. some re-
spects inferior to that of the Indian
colleges, instruction is given in the
vernacular. And the japanese gradu-
ate is equipped for work in any field to
which his taste may direct him. In
neither country is the education religi-
Gus; hut while in Japan the student is
animated with a patriotic zeal to bene-
fit his nation, in India patriotism is
rare. The present condition of affairs
in India, in spite Of the universities &C.
Of 1904. is another IF the examples
afforded by history of the failure Of
education when divorced from some
living and dominant sentiment. Alex
andria. with its cosmopolitan life and
interests and its scholarly atmosphere,
studied the past, but made no sub
stantial progress. 1t furnished a mu-
scum with literary monuments; its
nhi1Osophy wa9 ecle.ticiSm without
originality. And now IT is seen that
not even the intelligence. wealth and
political power Of England have made
the Indian colleges successful: while
the young men in Japan find In uni
versity education an opportunity for
the advancement Of themselves and
their country.

ECHOES OF THE Maine PRESS

used on the Maine reports, was costing
than the Maine Printer was paying,
and that this State was getting its re-
ports printed under our present stat
ute law at lower cost than New
Hampshire was paying under the sys-
ten of competitive bids. He was forced,
Tor instance, to admit that the last re-
port of the New Hampshire Railroad
commission, which cost them $500.
$'41, would only have cost them $3.50,
II it had been done under the terms or
the Maine law. From that moment
nothing has been heard of this New
Hampshire system in these papers
which have been so persistent, and of
course disinterested, in their criticisms
of the Public Printer. We presume. of
course, that this was mere accident.
He was probably overlooked in the
hurry of going to press.
The Public Printer is to be congrat-
ulated on the splendid showing he has
made. He has emerged from the thor
ough investigation of the past winter
indicated at every point, and vastly
stronger than ne was when he went
into it. Even his opponents were forced
to admit in the closing hearings that
they had been unable to put their fin
ger on single point in which he had
failed to faithfully and honestly dis
charged the important duties of his Of

visions of the law.

a return to the competitive system OF
doing this State work, and is known to
be entirely satisfied with the recon-
mendatiOnS of the committee,

ECHOES OF THE WAR.
The Battle of Mukden Compared with
Other Famous Battles.

Estimates of Russian losses in the
battle of Mukden, in killed, wounded.
captured and missing. range from
10000 to 10000 men, and the esti-
mates are not all in, and are not likely
to be for several days. Similar calcu-
lations placed the Russian strength in
the battle at $4,000, and the Japanese
force at 100000. Assuming these fig
ures to be approximately correct, Rus
STA has lost at least one-third of its
fighting force at Mukden. This loss is
greater than the French disaster at
Sedan, and surpasses the French force
in the battle of Waterloo. If to the
Russian loss is added the Japanese
casualties. placed by the japanese at
Al, 900 men. the total exceeds the
strength of the armies at Austerlitz.

Jacob Lyman Greene, who died sud-
denly at Hartford. CT, last week. was
another son of Maine who won fame
sand success far from the state of his
birth. He had been for years president
of the great Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Company. and was one of
sthe leading insurance men of the coun-
try. He was born at Waterford, up in
oxford county, in 1887. and when a
young man went West end gained his
education at the University of Michi-
gan and entered upon the practice Of
law in that state. He entered the Civil
War as a private in Michigan regi-
ment. and rose by worth and merit to
the rank Of colonel. When peace came
he started at the lowest round in the
insurance business only to rise again
to a position of responsibility and
power. Colonel Greene was a man of
marked ability and rugged honesty,
and Maine. Michigan and Connecticut
are all proud to honor his memory.
