WellesIey's Loss.

With regret the educators of the
country will learn of the resignation
of Miss Caroline Hazard, for the past
eleven years president of Wellesley
College. For a decade she has been
one of the countrys best known wo-
men educators Her administration
has. we believe. been the longest in
the history of Wellesley. and under it
the growth in number of students.
equipment and prestige in the educa-
tional world has been marked.
For some months it had been known
that the president was in poor health
and that her condition had caused her
to be hampered in her work. and yet
all had hoped that she would be able
to continue as head of the college.
Trustees of the institution as well as
those who have watched the advance
ment of the school. credit Miss Haz-
ard with large share of the re-
sponsibility for the splendid showing.
Her place will be hard to fill but for
the benefit of coming generations it is
to be hoped that the trustees of We'll
lesley will be fortunate in calling a

officials quite frequently.
For instance. there is only one head
of department left in Augusta who
was in office January 1, i9O1-and that
solitary hold-over is Democrat,
George Pottle, chairman Of the Board
of State Assessors.
Col E. c. Milliken remains as acting

Men may come and men may 60
but the Republican party goes on for
ever and changes it's office holders from

Democrats-and possibly some Re-
publicans in the State have had the
idea that Names officialdom is COM
posed of collection of perpetual hold
over mossbacks.
This is not so. And Furthermore this
Republican administration mas been ex-
ceedingly liberal in giving minority
Democrats official jobs.
When in ten short years an almost
entire official regime has been changed
there is no especial sense in the Dem
ocratic plea that officials should bt
chaneed-not for the welfare of Maine
but simply to provide needy Democrats
with State salaries!

steel hull is less than 20 years. The
steel hull has only an eighth or a
quarter inch of steel between the sea

navy are the bulls of steel ships kept

Not abandoned" Farms.


A Portland woman has just written
to friend in Augusta concerning

handed to the editor of the Journal

impression which may largely prevail

The New York department of agri-

No Reason for Aiding Democrats.

For lack of argument of any weight
why voters should elect Democrats,
the latter are endeavoring to obtain
votes by means of a howl against
present high prices.

High prices. however, never prevail
in a nation that is industrially in great
distress.
Exorbtant prices come to an end
sooner or later because of their own

knows that the elevation of Democ-
