Taft, we understand said that
there should be more economy
rsed in the expences in carrying
on the government and make the
burden Of taxation just as light
as possible. Well he might say
so after his salary has been
raised twenty-five thousand
dollars. Such economy will
never feed the poor, we believe
in equality as well as economy.

Greed prevents real gain.
There is no saving anger without
love.
Airing our aches will never heal
them.
If you want to be happy make some

A mans religion never dies so long

Everything is possible to those who

Silent endeavor for things honorable
has greater eloquence than silver
trumpets.
You go forward to no prize without
leaving behind many things that seem
desirable.
You are not likely to lead men to
faith in God by preaching crooked

Keep In Touch.

President Lowell of Harvard in an
address to the college heads oil Massa-
chusetts warned them that colleges
cannot succeed if they live with their
heads above the clouds. He also told
EN- frankly that the Western univer-
sites are accomplishing great good by
being in close touch with the commu-
nity about them. He did not hesitate
to name the University 81 Wisconsin
as a splendid example Of the State uni
versity which has kept in close touch
lowering It's standards in the least.
one of the reasons why A. Lawrence
Lowell was chosen to succeed DR.. Eliot
was the belief that he was a broad
man who would continue the policies
which have obtained 50 long in the uni
yersitv. He showed that that cnnt!-
lerce was not misplaced in the view he
expressed in that phase of college life

There is great wisdom in that state

aggregate college students from these

A Humane Judge.

4 Illinois landlords who have been ur

| Rovleston. Mr.. Longenecker, who has
two children, was in possession of an
aparrment of which Mr. Boyleston be-
came the owner. When the Longe-
neckcr lease expired Boyleston de-
clined to renew the lease on the ground
that he desired to rid his property of
tenants who had children.
Mr.. Longenecker applied to the
courts for relief and the finding OF
the presiding justice was that chill
dren have as much right to protection
as the game of the State. and the
game laws have been universally up
held. Power placed in the hands of
landlords to drive large families to

The Maine delegation at Princeton
numbers three students.

The new electric road from Pressure
Isle to Washburn is already bringing
prosperity to the town, even before its
completion. Large crews are in the
woods to cut 100000 feet of logs for
the mills the coming year This is to
be followed up until the two mills at
Presque Isle and Stevensville at Fort
Fairfield will use up 100000 feet Il
year This means, according to A. r..
GOulds estimation, some 1900 to 1900
carloads of lumber will be hauled over
the new electric railroad to market a
year. Besides the cut upon the Tim
Der lands on the Pressure Isle stream
and it's tributaries the Aroostook Lum-
Der company can now drive their logs
down the ArooStook river and take
them to the mill from the river by the
electric road over the branch, maui
of only a mile or two.
