Much interest is shown in the State
summer schools for teachers which are to
be held this year at the several normal
schools. - aAs -
Nine distinct courses Of study will be
offered in each school. These courses are
arranged with a view to meeting the needs
OF teachers in grade and rural schools,
and each course will be under the direc-
ton OF teacher OF special training for

Not the least advantage of the schools
this year will lie in the fact that the
spienlid equipment Of the normal schools
will be at the disposal Of the students.
The methods Of instruction will be the
same as are employed in the regular nor
NAL school classes. Definite assignment
tation work will be done. The single ses-
sion plan will be adopted in order that the
afternoons may be free for study and rec
reation.
These schools offer splendid opportunity

from this town attended the class conven-
ton at Southwest Harbor Saturday. The
interest centered in the choosing OF can
didate for the legislature. two candidates
from this town being in the field, Otis
Albee and Oliver Bowley.
At a caucus held at Epworth hall, June
1, four delegates were elected-Lewis Stan

who received the nomination, thank the
towns of Mount Desert, Southwest Harbor,
Cranberry Isles and fremont, for kindness
and courtesy shown them, and Mr.. Albee,
| who by his timely withdrawal from the
field, simplified matters for the delegates,
wiped out all party feeling and established

SENSIBLE WORDS.

Justice David J. Brewer, whose opin- ions always carry weight has placed himself in serious danger. of being called a mollycoddle. if not somethieng worse, by the jIngoes who insist that our only salvation as a nation consists in at once spending millions. or bill lions. of dollars to build up a great navy. In a recent article he used th;s forceful language:
 have no hesitancy sn saying that our nation is making a grave mistake in It's effort to build up a monster navy. It is uncalled for. We don't need it. We are 5000 miles from the nearest nation, and there is no danger of being molested.
 Now. while 1t Is true that many will scout such an utterance. 1t Is equally true that his words will be endorsed by those who have no sympathy with the false idea that our integrity and existence as a nation depends on show ing to the world that we are able and prepared to whip any nation on the globe. Such an attitude partakes too much of the temper and manners of the bully to suit right-thinking peo- pie. If we are to go about with a chip on our shoulder. daring any one to knock 1t off, the big navy idea is all right, but not otherwise.
 The fact Is that those who are con tinually predicting and prating about war are either deceiving themselves and the public or else they are talking for purpose. There may be some who really fear that we are in constant danger of being swooped down upon and annihilated by some envious or avaricious foreign power unless we proceed at once to show that we are more powerful than any or all of the nations of the earth. But we suspect that many of those who are so persist ently and strenuously advocating the building of immense battleships may properly be divided into three classes: those who really and honestly believe the country to be in danger; those

We have all heard of the man who .bft of his nose to spite his face" but it is generally conceded that biting one's own nose would be a very dif- scult job for any but an elephant to accomplish. For all that, we find an account of a happening in Frankfort. Kv.. that comes very near to being the real thing. The account, as we read 1t in a contemporary runs thus:
 Adolph KratzelI, a butcher, this af- ternoon bit his own nose almost off He has false teeth and is subject to fits This afternoon he was standing .n front of a local restaurant when ne had d 1t He shook his false teeth out of his mouth and they fell to the pave nent just as he fell. Kratzel fell TOT, ward on his face. and his nose landed which were open on the pavement. His weight closed the teeth together and his nose was bitten almost off.
 policeman and another man, who witnessed the accident. picked Kratzel aIp and took him to his home. He VIII have a very sore face for several days, but the nose may be saved, unless blood poison from the Oite sets fin.
 Now, if this butcher fellow had acci- dentaiiy chopped off his nose with a cleaver, or even if he had bitten off the nasal protuberance of some other man, it would not have been regarded as an impossible performance, but without the explanation as above given. the statement would have been regarded as tale for the marines. As 1t is, we can all understand that such thing might happen.

President Said to Be DicLering With

German Kaiser.
 A special cable to The Wall Street Summary from Paris says:
 The Financial News in this morning s issue gives prominence to a report that the American Government is desirous of selling the Philippines. It hears that tentative negotiat tions have for some Roosevelt and the Kaiser for the sale of the islands to Germany, which Is said to be the basis for the friendship between the two rulers as exemplified by the special tariff agreement recently completed.
 The proposed sale. The Financial News hears. is the real explanation for the voyage of the American warship fleet to the Pacific as a safeguard rash move against Manila. for instance, caculated to upset the negotiations. when Japan finds itself bottled up be- tween her natural enemies, Russia. China and Germany.
 An outlet for expansion is absolutely necessary for Germany. says Tn a Financial News informant, while the need and does not want the Philippines. Their acquirtment and protection are opposed to traditional American policy and are opposed in spirit at least to tn Q Monroe doctrine. and the satisfactory and dlgnified disposal of the islands would rid the United States of white elephant"
 Public sentiment in the United States The Financial News says. is in favor of an American base can be preserved. Tn e guarantee of such base by Germany Is one of the conditions. 1t is stated, of the sale.

THEY oBJncr TO THE TERM.

The Columbus Enquirer shows an inclination to kick because of the habit of many Northern tourists to speak of us as natives when they are visiting us. we are not abo- rigines". 1t declares. and says that 'the appellatioh Is in nowise pleasing to the southerner who is descended from the sturdy stock which purchased the independence of the United States with their blood" On theI same subject. The Columbia State says: Columbia. speaks about the natives" Ihis is curious practice into which Northerners generally have fallen. Of course we are ''natives' in the general Nor Is there any good reason in logic why we should object to be so spoken or. Yet we cannot refrain from feel sion mixed with a rather offensive cu- riosity. in the appellation. We have all come to think of natives as peo- pie more or less aboriginal and we Southerners feel that we have prog ressed little beyond that. It isn't exactly pleasant to be spoken of as If you were Hottentots or Australian
 
 better taste if the citizens of Colum- bia. for example. should be spoken of as Collumbians. of South Carolina as South Carollnians. and of the South as Southerners. Natives" smacks a little too suggestively of the ring-in- the nose brand of civilization.
 We'll. our contemporaries must bear in mind that a great deal depends on how one is raised. There are yet some Northerners who seem surprised when they come South to find us actually wearing clothes like other civilized people They apparently expect to find us wearing breech clouts and feathers. instead of decent and fashionable cloth ing. Of course, in It's broad sense all people born in any State are natives of that State. but some of these visitors think natives" is a term that must be used to distinguish us from their su- perior class. As to that matter. we don't object to being distinguished from their sort. even by being called natives.
