Supt. Stetson Resigns.

In q letter to Gov. Cobb, State
superintendent Of schools, Hon. W.
W. Stetson, tenders his resignation.
Mr.. Stetson became State superinten-
e dent in January, 1895, and has filed
the Office with conspicuous ability.
Mr.. stetson's work as State super
intendent, during his twelve years OF
service, has been of high order, and
its influence has extended far beyond
the boundaries Of Maine. He has
organized the school system with
suoh efficiency that the attempt made
: during the recent session of the legis-
{ lature to abolish the Office of State
superintendent and create q State
board Of education was not even con-
sidered.
In accepting his resignation, the
governor refers to the recent attempt
to besmirch MIR. Stetson's official
character, and does it in q manner
that 10 as highly gratifying to Mr..
Stetson's hosts of friends as it must
be to himself. The governors letter

The nine-inch lobster law recently
enacted in Massachusetts, is Q severe blow
to the lobster industry Of the Maine coast.
The new Maine law requires that Holsters
must be four and three-fourths inches
from head to end of shell, which means
that the whole lobster must be about 10h
inches long. With this law in effect here
and the nine-inch one in Massachusetts,,
it means that Massachusetts smacks may
come down to Maine and smuggle out
Holsters over nine inches in length. This
ruins the business Of the Maine dealer, and
gives Massachusetts, dealers one and one
half inches advanta &c. Nova Scotia, also,
has . nine-lnch law. The only hope OF
the Maine dealers is in the fishermen. II
they band themselves together and agree
not to sell to the Boston dealers, they will
save themselves and the industry in
Maine,

WEDNESDAY. APRIL "a, 1907.
A Republican Battle Royal.

A Republican Battle Royal.
Events tout in the country" are be-
ing carefully watched from the White
House at Washington, for 1t L. recog-
nized that the fight for the next presi-
Dental nomination is all eady on, and
from this time forward there will be q
constant succession Of plots and
counter plots, the more exasperating
and harder to fght from the fact that
1t will be bushwhacking and not light
ing in the open.
It is generally recognized by the old
politicians that the President 10 more
popular anywhere in the country than
he 10 in Warrington. This does not
mean among the resident population
Of Washington, for that has no vote,
and does not count. But the political
population that is assembled on Capt.
toll hill for the most of each year II by
no means friendly as whole to the
President, and the most difficult thing
in the coming struggle will be to pick
out friends from foes, and to know
who is really devoted to the Presi-
dent and the policies represented by
him.
The men of affairs who are friends
of the President are being closely
questioned a. to the sentiment of the
country whenever they are in
Washington, and the comcensus OF
opinion cleaned in this way may per-
haps be safely taken as q fair indica-
ton of the general sentiment.
The reports are that the President
Is stronger in almost all parts Of the
country with the voting population
than he has ever been before. At the
same time it is recognized that he is
going to have the republican machine
to fight in many Of the stronger states,
and this will mean an immense
amount of work.
Reports that reach the White House
are not all favorable to Secretary Taft
In Ohio. OF course the fight from his
side has scarcely begun there yet, but
one of the best politicians in the
country, who has just come back to
Washington from visit to Columbus,
says that Foraker is bound to win the
state fight. This, if it is true, will be
q serious handicap to his aspirations
for the nomination. It will not mean
his certain defeat, but 1t will point
strongly that way.
OF course the President has said that
he il not backing Taft or any other
man personally. All he wants Is
someone who 10 independent Of cor
rporate influence and free and willing
to carry out the 30 called Roosevelt
policies. OF course il 1t is not Taft,
1t might be Hughes or it might be
Root, or it might be someone else
even the President himself.
One thing is certain, and that is
that the states are getting rapidly
into line for the fight, and number
OF the staunchest political leaders are
reported - saying that they are ready
to pledge the several delegations to
the President II he wants them him
self, and that they may be able to hold
them In line for the man of his choice.

celled his engagement to speak in
this city next Thursday night at the

and will speak the following Tues
day, March the 26th. instead The
change of date was brought about by
his supporters here, who did not wish
his political engagement to interfere
with the great revival which is going
on in this city, many who have been
attending the meeting desiring to
hear him. While he has changed his
date in this city, this will not inter-
fere with his engagement at Gale
donia on next Friday, and he will
speak to the people of that district
at that time. Mr.. Williams will speak
in Aberdeen on next Thursday, the

To Play shubert Shows.

1t looks like Columbus is to- have
two theaters next winter. From very
reliable sources it is learned that the
owners of the Gaiety Rollaway rink
now being erected at the corner o.
Main and Nineteenth streets, intend
to use the building not only as a.
skating rink, but as a theater e.
number of vaudeville attractions have
been booked for the summer months
and if plans now on foot mature the
building will be operated as a reg
ular theater next winter
For a long time past the Shuherta
who are the most formidable oppo-
nents of the theatrical trust, nave
been trying to gain a foothold In the
South, and during the past severaG g.
months have made repeated efforts
to secure bookings for Columbus
They control some of the strongest
attractions now before the public
and should the management of the
Gaiety rink decide to play these at
fractions next winter, Columbus win
secure a line of shows even superior
to the splendid offerings of the Co
lumbus Theater during the season
which is now rapidly drawing toward
its close.

A MONSTER PETITION
Asking That New School be Named
In Honor of Prof. Barrow.

At the next meeting of the City
Council that body will be presented
with a monster petition asking that
the resolution naming the new school
now being erected in South Colum-
bus the "Southside School, be re-
scinded and that the structure be Off
cially christened the j. NJ. Barrow
Memorial school, This was the
name originally selected for the new
school, but the Council, for some un-
known reason, decided to discard it
and substitute therefor the name of
'sSouthside School, and their petit
TONERS ask that the matter be again
reconsidered and the original name
restored.
The petition was placed in circula
ton last week, and was signed by
practically every person to whom it
was presented The readiness with
which signatures were attached to
the petition evinces the esteem in
which Prof. Barrow's memory is held
and attests the fact that a vast ma
jority of our people desire to see the
school named in his honor. There
were only a very few people to whom
the petition was presented who re-
fused to sign it, and most of these
were men who were but slightly ac-
uuainted with Prof. Barrow and who
did not know his numerous virtues.
When the matter was first discuss
ed by the Council, most of the mem
bers expressed themselves as being
desirous of carrying out the wishes
of the people in naming the school,
and now that the people have given
expression to their views in no uncer-
tain manner, it is believed that the
former resolution will be rescinded
and that the school will be named in
honor of Prof. Barrow.

A. & NJ. College to Build Mess Hall.

Governor Vardaman has called a
meeting of the trustees of the A. &
NJ. College to convene at the college
on Mrch 2Sth, at which time the
question of building a mess hall to
meet the demands of the institution
will be considered. The college has
needed a mess hall for the students
badly for the past several years, the
increase in the attendance at the in
stitution rendering the present build
ing practically useless for the pur-
poses for which it was intended. The
trustees will order new and larger
mess hall, equipped with all modern
conveniences and Improvements. and
work on the same will begin in time
for the completion in ample time for
use at the next session.

UNION REVIVAL
IS IN PROGRESS
REV. GEO. Gates WILL ARRIVE
To- DAY AT NOON FROM
UNION CITY AND BEGIN
WORK AT THREE.
Great Meeting just Closed at Union
City, Six Hundred Conversions
Having Occurred as Result
of Mr.. Gates Work.

The union revival meeting which
began last Sunday night at the First
Methodist church is progressing in a
most satisfactory manner, and the
services, which are held twice each
day, attract large congregations. Rev.
George c. Gates, who is to lead the
meeting, will arrive today at noon,
and during his absence the past week
the local ministers alternated in the
pulpit and delivered sermons which
brought profit and pleasure to all who
heard them. This preliminary meet
ing was arranged at the suggestion
OF Mr.. Gates, the idea being to have
Interest worked up to such a point
that the minds of the people will be
in a receptive state and ready to re-
ceive, appreciate and yield to the
pIeadings of the gifted divine who
has been so successful in his work of
bringing sinners into the fold.
On yesterday General Stephen D.
Lee. who is to entertain Mr. Gates
during his sojourn in Columbus, re-
ceived a telegram from the evange-
list stating that he would arrive here
at noon today. This telegram was
dated at Union City, Tenn, where
Mr. Gates has just closed a meeting
which lasted less than two weeks
and resulted in the conversion of
more than six hundred people. Great
enthusiasm was displayed, and the
meeting closed Friday night with an
service, which was attended
by hundreds of people.
Mr.. Gates will begin his work i'm
mediately upon his arrival here. He
will reach the city at noon over the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad, and will
hold his initial service at the First
Methodist church at three o'clock
this afternoon. His coming has been
advertised, and he will
doubtless be greeted by a congrega- !
tion which will completely fill the
spacious auditorium.
The various local pastors will hold
services in their respective churches
at eleven o'clock this morning, and
there will be union services at the |
First Methodist church at three |
o'clock this afternoon and seven-thir- !
ty o'clock this evening, both of these
services being conducted by Rev. Mr.. |
Gates. The revival will continue un-
til further notice, with services at |
10 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. each day.
