The announcement Of the coming re-

Wesleyan University brings to promi-
nerce again the struggle which that
institution continues tn have with the
coeducational problem. There is
strong agitation, especially among the
younger alumni. for the surrender of
the CoeduCational plan and. opposition
to this movement is likely to be slight

complete success. Coeducation seems
to prosper when an institution starts

An Absurd Reason.

VI iIGIAl AuNcIt
Certain writer's, who have discOv-
cred that Names population, as they
claim. is nearly stationary, also claim
to have discovered that the chief
reason for this is that immigrants do
not contribute to the growth of our
grand old Pine Tree State because of
the prCEibitory code, (which" in the
words of the Philadelphia Record.
conflicts with their social customs
and tastes. They go, therefore. where
they can enjoy their customs without
the risk of arrest for violation of the
laws" Probably our Cocksure con-
temporary. which claims that this suf-
ficiently explains why Maine gets SO
little share of European immigration,

contented Swedish colonies in the
northern part Of the State. nor of the
large French population of all of our
manufacturing cities and towns. Has
anybody knowledge of any exodus of
members of the nationalities referred

bibulcus tastes or cOnvivial customs?
Their coming hither and their re-
naming is a question merely Of en-
ployment which is congenial and
profitable. Slight investigation would
undoubtedly show this to be the case
That argument has in another form
been worked to death. We are all
familiar with the contention that in
ability to procure booze would deter
tourists from entering the State, and
the fallacy of it is revealed in the
rapidly mounting statistics Of arrivals
of that class from year to year. Peo-
pie who are kept out of the grand
recreation ground that Maine offers
for no better reason than that there is
not thriving saloon upon every cor
ner of the streets of our cities confer
favor upon the State by doing SO.

The Bath Celebration.

Bath will celebrate in rather
chastened spirit next month the three
hundredth anniversary of American
shlpbuilding. There will be a festival
honored by the presence Of several
governors and fleet of war vessels
There will be bonfires. fireworks,
athletic sports and speeches. But the
eloquence must be chiefly reminiscent,
i for not only Bath. but the whole
kennebec valley has virtually ceased
. to build ocean ships. and wellnigh
ceased to own them. There is not now
on the stocks in the whole State of
Maine one vessel designed for the bold
overseas trade which gave Bath her
splendid reputation. One small cruiser
! for the navy is being finished on the
Kennebec and a few steamboats, and
coal schooners; that is all. One of
Baths two modern steel shipyards Is
and has been closed and grass-grown;
and that is the condition Of nine tenths
of the old wooden shipyards of the
State, all the way from kennebunk to
Calais. In the face of such prospect,
the tercentenary of the launching of
the first Maine built craft at Fort
Popham in 1907 would serve to be more
provocative of mourning than of re-
Jolclng among observant men. But the
celebration will please the summer
visitors.-Boston Transcript.
1t is not to be denied that there is a
lot of truth in the observations of our
Boston contemporary. and Bath and
the whole of Maine feel keenly the
decline of the shipbuilding industry
The celebration, however, is something
more than an effort to please the
summer visitors and something more
than the celebration of a glory that is
dead. 1t is an evidence to the world
and progressive, in spite of the fact
that no vessels designed for the foreign
trade are now being built there or
elsewhere along the coast. Although
Bath got her splendid reputation for
shipbuilding from the building of craft
for the overseas trade, it is to be
remembered that the growth of our
domestic commerce. limited by law to
American bottoms. means great
industry in which Bath has long had a
prominent part. Moreover. Bath and
all Maine are strong in the hope and
expectation that our national govern
fnent will some day realize that it is a
mistaken policy to neglect our foreign
shipping as has been done, and that
it will give American shipbuilding and
American ships a measure of that pro-
lection which has done so much for
other great industries of our country
and which is proving such d blessing to
our people.
Bath celebrates the tercentennial of
the launching of the first ship built in
America, not only because it is an
event of historical interest worthy of
observance but also because it is in a
mood for celebrating and because the
spirit Of rejoicing and not of mourning
Is in the air.
