The Stare Printing Contract.
(Lewiston Journal.)

We have not yet noticed any ex-
planation by the Maine Secretary Of
State. Hon. Cyrus w. Davis, as to
how he reconciles his position as a
State officer and the making of con-
tract with the State by his newspaper
for public printing.
There is hardly city so small or so
mean that it does not carry an ordin-
ance prohibiting the members of its
city government from profiting direct
ly or indirectly in any way on any
contract with the municipality. Much
more need for the State!
If we have overlooked the explana-
ton of the secretary of State, we are
exceedingly sorry and will hasten to
apologize, not only for emitting it from
our columns but also for again refer
ring to the matter in any way.
1t can not be possible that the sec
rotary of State has no explanation; Tor
certainly he would not continue in his
contract were there the smallest justl-
fcation for any criticism Thereon or
any cloud on the legal title to the con-
tract. we therefore will be very glad
to have the explanation pointed out to
us, and to add publicity to the ex-
planation in justice to a high Office
and to an important contract

Ten Feet Means a Fortune.
(Broekton Enterprise.)


In this world size counts. The
Cunard line is to have a new steamer
the Aquitania. Her plans had all been
drawn and everything was ready
when somebody in the ownership re-
called that the ship would not be quite
as long as the giant Imperator of the
Hamburg line. So the plans were
called back and an entire new set pre-
pared in every way, and now when the
Aquitania is completed she will be ten
feet longer than the Imperator. 1t
called for a lot of money and consid-
cradle time to make the changes and
alter the plans for furnishings ami
machines and fittings. to correspond
with the new idea. but it is figured
that there are armies of travellers who
would like to have it said of them
that they made their trip in the big
gest ship afloat and the Cunard folks
think they have put one, over on the
Hamburg people. and will make for
tune by reason of the fact that their
new boat will be exactly ten feet lon
ger than the Imperator.

Getting Away from Old Fosy Ideas

We are pleased to note that the
trustees of the State Normal schoo,
have taken steps to introduce immedi-
ately, courses in domestic science.
Such action is in the line of progress
and modern school systems. Courses
in manual training in these days have
become necessary as were the systems
of teaching letters, tables and rules in
the olden days. Now those things are
accomplished in a much easier and
more attractive manner. Educators
have found means of teaching the
young idea how to shoot, in a way
that is interesting and not laborious.
1t is a judicious mixture of work and
play that never becomes tiresome to
the child in good health. Little chill
dren and young men and women ac-
Iquire an understanding of the rudi-
ments of knowledge at the same time
they are gaining an understanding f
practical affairs, and of practical ap-
plication of the knowledge which they
acquire.
out in Gary, Ind. they have adopted
"a school system in which the school
sessions are held the year round. They
have no summer vacations, and the
children never tire of school. The
teachers in the schools of this modern
city do not waste their time and ener-
gies in instructing boys and girls in
branches which they only too we'll un-
derstand are not closely related to the
child's education and welfare. Both
mental and physical training are 50
calculated as to appeal to the child's
interest, yet at the same time il is so
devised as TO be of the most practical
purpose.
When children attend school be
cause they like it, it is certain that
they will get out of it all that the
system of education affords. Thus we
forecast for the industrial education

edly would be of much value in such
a place, or in any other place, for that
matter. 1t is also useful in hill climbing
and We have seen stories of fires in
hilly sections of Boston where horse
drawn apparatus simply had to be left
at the bottom of the hill An auto
mobile merely takes an extra grip ami
hoists itself to the top of the incline.
The horse still is useful in the de-
partment, especially on short and lev
ell runs. but the machine is the better
where there are long spaces TO cover
and hills to be encountered or where
alarms come quickly and require fire.

Aeroplane Racing.
(Philadelphia Press

The English air race is another DEM
onstration. second only to that Of the
Paris Turin affair, of how I'M
equal the flying machine is, in its
present stage of development. TO the
demands of the racers and race pro-
moters.
The fact that the leaders actual run
ming time. at the end of the second
leg. meant an average speed OF mile
minute for 1863 miles gives one a
thrill.
But how about his competitors?
They were all men of experience,
with full knowledge of the conditions
and presumably supplied with the
best aeroplanes obtainable.
Yet of the nineteen whe started with
him only two survived. About half
the remainder had withdrawn. few
had fallen, and the others were scat
tered along the course, tinkering on
disabled machines.
What, then, of good does such race
or the preparation for such race
bring to the science of air navigation!
one of the Wright brothers struck
a true note in a recent interview, in
which he said the problem was being
attacked from the wrong direction.
Contests such as these depend part
" on luck. partly on nerve-neither
of which advances the seience-and
partly on the power Of the motors
But when at least a very large pro-
portion of accidents are due to motor
breakdowns il would seem that eX-
perimentation should be directed to-
ward securing more reliable engines,
rather than engines of greater power
Mr.. Wright suggests that, for the
good of the science a limit should be
placed on the horsepower of machines
entering the races. The suggestion has
force. It's adoption would give an en-
tirely new trend to aviation
It's safe progress will be signlhea'
not when three aviators out CT twenty
complete a course of 1863 miles in as
MANY minutes, but when all can COM
plete il in twice that time.
The technical uses prophesied for
the aeroplane demand no such speed
anv more than do the uses of the au-
tomobile.
It's value. to say nothing of it's pop
ularity. must depend upon the degree
to which the danger of falling can be
overcome.

Sentinel Boasts OF Hanks Fair.

Our vulgar Waterville neighbor calls
attention to the "hereie doses OF
home rule" which the Journal has
been obliged to swallow. We presume
that is a boast. 1t certainly looks as
though Secretary of State Davis
personally conducted organ was glory
ing in the fact that Augusta had had
a fair sample of Democratic misgoV-
eminent and could not help itself.
We certainly DID HAVE TO SWAL-
LOW the most bitter dose of govern
ment cussedness, perpetrated by the
officials of city, county and State, that
ever a Maine city knew. Hanks Fair
law we look upon as fair specimen
of the regulation" which the Govern
or. the rum press and the Rum Trust
literature are advertising. We did not
stop il because the entire administra-
ton gave open and braggart evidence
OF being hand in-glove with the pro-
moter and gang of thugs and thieves
receiving tribute for turning over the
community to rum sellers, pickpokets
gamblers, and exploiters of vice.
That was the sample of home rule
which Secretary of State DAVIS pa
per boasts we were obliged to take II
heroic doses"
We do not know the "truism thai
there is no supply without there first
is demand" for in the case of Hanks
Fair, il was a brazen attempt to edu-
cate demand by inflieting a supply
of lewd performances, gambling,
swindling and open liquor selling.
Boys were accosted and invited into
a place unfit for dogs and swine-and
this gang from "Hell's Kitchen
claimed that they PAID we'll for the
opportunity to ply their outlawed and

tention of the people to the Gov

serve the right to criticize him whei
we feel that IT is for the interests o
