The first annual message of President
Taft was sent to Congress at noon Tues
day and read in both Houses. Its key
note is economy. 1t recommends cutting
the expenses of the government as fal
as possible and meeting the deficit by g
bond issue. 1t favors a ship subsidy ano
makes many other recommendations, OF
which synopsis will be given later.
Last week in an editorial paragraph on
the New York Sun it was suggested that
a Maine man, E. P Mitchell, might be
Mr.. Laffan's successor, and before The
journal was issued he had been elected
president of The Sun Printing and Pub
fishing Association. Mr.. Mitchell was
born in Bath, March "a, 1852, and was
graduated from Bowdoin College in 1871.
He began his newspaper career as re-
porter in his native city; then went to
Lewiston and from there to Boston,
where he was on the Advertiser year
or two. In 1875, his work having at
tracted Mr.. Dana's attention, he was
called to New York and has since been
on the editorial staff of the Sun, and is
said to be the best paid editorial writer
in the world. In 1896 the Portland Argus
said of Mr.. Mitchell:
You of course have read those rhymes
that occasionally appear in the Sun and
are copied all over the land, in which
shafts of satire are aimed with such &C
curacy that they never fail to hit the
mark. Well, the author of these bright
things is f. P. Mitchell, whose boyhood
home was in Bath. They do say that
Mr.. Mitchell has become imbued so
thoroughly with Charles A. Dana's spirit
that it is impossible to tell whether an
editorial is written by the famous Ameri-
can journalist or by his right hand man.
Two years ago hundred or two Of
Mr.. Mitchell's best editorials were pub
lished in book form, and in June, 1907,
his alma mater honored him with the
degree of Doctor of Literature. In May,
1873. the Kennebec Journal, whose editor
is a Bowdoin man, said of Mr.. MITCHELL:
<'To Bowdoin men he is less known as a
great figure in American journalism than
as the author of Phi Chi, that sopho-
moric battle song which has been lifted
into the midnight skies by many genera
tons of boys under the whispering pines,
and which has been borrowed by many
colleges which know nothing of the ira
dtions and illusions Of the song"
