sioner, was here on his way to Rich
wood, where he will address the voters
At this place he was shown a copy of
the Fairmont Times, of the date OF the

1t to any man anywhere, ana chal-
lenge the Times to name its man and
submit proof. brand the story as

In the same article in the Times is
a further statement to the effect that
Mr.. Darst had said that the state ad.

Mr.. Darst also brands this assertion

These are some of the most prominent
names that appear. No professors Of
our Maine colleges appear on this first
list.
The Carnegie foundation was estab-
lished to assure to instructors in the
higher institutions of learning COM
petence when obliged to retire from
active service. Mr.. Carnegie believed
that these men. as a class, are SO
roorly paid for their services that men
of ability hesitate to enter the ranks
of teachers. Feeling that the assur-
ance that when they had reached the
age of s. years they could retire, as
teachers in the public school system of
New York are retired, would add to
the incentive of teaching. and also
pave the way for replacing the veter-
ans with younger men, Mr.. Carnegie
set aside enough bonds to furnish an
sum is to be divided among men Sc
lected by the board of trustees, not
more than one-half of his former sal
airy to be paid any man. The sums
to be paid to the first selections will
average less than $500 a year, about
$4,000 for the whole number. The
fund is at the disposition Of board of
trustees, of which DR.. Harry S.
Pritchett, formerly head of the Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology is
president. When Mr.. Carnegie an
nounced his plan, setting aside 10000
900 in steel bonds for the purpose, much
doubt was expressed as to it's practical
workings. The first list shows, how
ever. that the selections have been
made with care. including only those
whose long and meritorious service
makes such recognition but just and
right.

Everybody has heard of people VINO
have had the life scared out OF then'
but the people of San Francisco seem
to have had the life scared into them
by the earthquake. Where there was
formerly an average of dozen
suicides in the city each week there
have been but three suicides in the city
in the two months since the great
disaster. AS it is hardly likely that
all the people with suicidal tendencies
were killed by the earthquake or nave
since fed elsewhere. it must be as
sumed that they had had so much else
to think of that they have neglected
to think of killing themselves. The
little troubles that would have killed
them were forgotten when really big
trouble came along.
