Names Splendid Showing

Maine Is certainly to be congratu-
lated on the increasingly large num-
sber of her SONS and daughters who
are seeking an education in our high
er institutions of learning. From all
OF the Maine colleges comes the re-
port of the largest enrolment In their
histories. Most pleasing OF all, be-
cause suggestive Of future conditions,
are the reports that come from our
high schools and academies, of larger
and larger enrollments, necessitatng,
in numerous instances enlarged build
ings and more teachers. While this
condition of affairs Is as distinctly
pleasing as 1t is creditable to Maine,
still 1t ought not to create a spirit of
satisfaction. The time should not be
far OF when the total number of men
and women in our colleges Is doubled
and the efficiency Of our public
schools thereby improved. To this
end the school teachers In all parts of
Maine should direct their best efforts,
for a word OF encouragement and ad-
vice at the right time will save many
n preparatory school student to our
colleges.

Childish Logic

We again commend the action of
State Auditor Hatch in refusing to ap-
prove the expense accounts OF state
Assessor Pottle, and again condemn
the action of Governor Fernald and
his Council in ordering the State
Treasurer to pay the same. The bills
submitted for the Auditors approval
are clearly not for the people OF
Maine to pay, and when the Governor
and Council set aside the Auditors
advice and direct that these bills be
paid, the procedure strongly suggests
the rankest form of highway robbery
II there Is any doubt whatever re-
garding the liability of the State IN
this matter, one has but to turn to the
Lewiston Journal, the official mouth
piece of the present administration,
and learn therefrom that. though the
bills. should not be paid by the State
the Governor and Council deemed 1t
wise to do so in this particular, case in
order to give Mr.. Pottle fair warning
against submitting similar bills again.
Talk about logic! That sort Is
childish in the extreme. 1t is the
veriest kind of rot. Year after year
the people of Maine have been paying
to Mr.. Pottle his carfare from Auburn,
his home, to Augusta, his official Of
fee, as we'll as his hotel bills while
in Augusta. And Mr.. Pottle (think OF
it) reasoned that the bills he has
submitted year after year are honest
charges In order not to shock our
State Assessor overmuch, the execu-
tive department says In substance.
Your bills are not just, but we Will
pay them this once IL you will prom
ise not to put in such bills again"
Ye gods and little fishes!
If the Republican party really wants
to do the square thing by the people
of Maine 1t will quit tinkering with the
paddock on the door to the State treas
ury and strive henceforth to conduct
the financial affairs Of Maine in a SEN
sible and less childish way. There is
certainly a lamentable absence OF the
good old fashioned kind OF horse
sense.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER II.
As to Headgear

Our esteemed contemporary the
Lewiston Journal, rises to remark as
follows:
The melancholy days are here Wnen
woman-lovely woman has to buy her
winter hat.
We fail to see the point which the
Journals editor evidently finds In the
above. We had always supposed that
the hat buying season provoked mel
ancholia in the poor hubby instead OF
in lovely woman No matter. But,
having the subject OF womans mead
gear under discussion, let US deyoutiy
hope-oh, so devoutly!-that when
"lovely woman" buys her winters hat
she use a little better judgment than
when she purchased that positively aw-
full headgear with which she has been
marring the landscape all summer
Seriously, that sort Of head ornament
is altogether too much of good
thing! The simple little poke-bonnet
which grandmother wore would be far
preferable to that.

A Painful Defect

In his inaugural address President
Lowell of Harvard, said:
The most painful defect in the
American college at the present time
Is the lack of esteem for excellence In
scholarship We do not make our
students feel the romance OF scholar
ly exploration, nor do we encourage
productive scholarship enough among
those members of our faculties who
are capable thereof
President Lowell has hit the nail
squarely on the head. He has pointed
out a defect and, like wise counselor,
has also suggested the remedy. While 1t
Is true that some OF our larger In
stitutions of learning require that
their faculty men prove themselves pro-
ductive in scholarship. there Is no
such requirement upon the faculties
of our smaller, but none the less
worthy, institutions. This is to be
regretted. Faculties, In large and
small institutions, should be required
to investigate along original lines and
so prove themselves the leaders such
as their positions rightfully demard. 1t
our students are made to feel the
romance of scholarly exploration
they must receive their inspiration for
such endeavors from the college
teacher, and II he has fallen into the
dull routine and has grown seedy, as
so many of our college and university
teachers unfortunately do. then there
will be no romantic explorations in
proportion as there. will be no produc-
tivity on the part of the college facul1
ties. The remedy for the present de
feet" is up to the teacher and not up
to him who properly waits upon lead
ership.
The message which President Low
ell has for the college teacher is this:
Wake up, brush up, and hustle up.
It's a gentle hint but should prove
effective.

An Undemocratic Method

The fact that the net cost of the en-
forcement deputies for the nine
months OF the year has been $1S,811 is
mourned by those who are opposed to
enforcement as a great waste OF mon
ey, while 1t has not succeeded in
stopping the sale of liquor entirely,
particularly In Bangor. 1t Is consid-
cradle money, but other laws cost con-
siderable also. and do not entirely
prevent violations either. Whether it
costs a lot or not the State had better
pay 1t than to have the laws ignored,
as the liquor laws would be in many
places II 1t was not for the deputies
Gardiner Reporter-Journal.
Well, this is one view. AS for us, we
are not strong and never have been on
this Sturgis proposition, Our theory
Is that the Governor should be held
accountable for the proper enforce
ment OF our State laws, and that his
servants for carrying out such enforce
ment should be the sheriffs who have
the enforcement of the laws within
the different counties In charge. The
present scheme of enforcing the law
one particular law-through State
Commission and a corps Of deputies,
is decidedly not in line with our
democratic plan Of government. Old
as the argument is 1t Is none the less
sound and even splendidly eloquent In
these days, that Maine should never
consent to the appointment of State
officials who are asked to do the work
for which other officials have previ-
ously been appointed. There Is not a
scintilla Of good common sense in
such a proposition. and It is only a
matter Of time when the Sturgis busi-
ness will be cut out.

COmmendable Heroism. (l

Senator Hale's interest in public
welfare, says the Lewiston Journal, is
illustrated by the devotion of his en-
tire family to public service. He Is
not like Mr.. A Ward who was willing
to send all of his wife's relations to
war but he is willing to contribute his
own best blood to the service Of his
country. The latest example Is the
sacrifice of Chandler Hale to public
service at $4,000 year as an Assistant
Secretary of State. Such heroism Is
to be commended. 1t was once Pc
culiarly Spartan virtue. 1t Is 80 no
longer.
