This conception of a university head seems
10 be well realized in DR.. Brown. whose life has
been given TO educational work. from COM
mon school principalship to a university chair,
and whose five years service at Washington as
United States Commissioner of Education have
doubtless given him a comprehensive and ap-
preciative view Of the entire scope Of the Amer
Gan educational field. The selection will. we
believe prove auspicious for the university, and
II will present to Chancellor Brown opportuni-
ties OF useful achievement surprising those Of
ne important places which he has already
filed New York is in practically all respects

matters it's primacy is attested at least by the

Dr Elmer Ellsworth Brown. after serving
onder Presidents Roosevelt and Taft as United
States Commissioner Of Education. comes to
sSs city this fall as chancellor OF New York
University. BY placing him on a salary of S1O.-
600 a year the New York University council
puts the institution on par with Columbia
Princeton and other large universities The
oou=lttee Of the council which recommended
ths selection Of DR. Brown spoke Of him in its
report follows:
zone who is competent to speak upon the sub
feet has described him man both OF cru
ALTON and common sense, with pleasing man

ny as a speaker and with special gifts Of I'M
usual charm"
Following the exclusive announcement in The
Tribune that Dr. Brown would be the choice
Of the council 70 succeed DR.. Henry NJ. Mac
Cracker. The Tribune commented editoraIly on
bis election as follows
THE selection of DIT. Elmer Ellsworth Brown
q the new chancellor will be generally regard
cd with approval and with confidence as well
suited to assure the continued growth Of the
university along the lines which in recent years
have proved so useful and so successful Hith-
eto the institution has had six chancellors, of
whom one was a statesman and the other five
we're clergymen. Not one was primarily pro-
fexional educator, though DIT. MacCracken be-
came that for the greater part OF his active ca
reer. The intensely practical development OF
the university in the last twenty years has
made it not only appropriate but substantially
necessary that henceforth the chancellor shall
be specially trained to the work of an
educator. and Of an educator on the lines OF
modern university work. who, while infexibly

Editorial Comment
Weddina Maine to Bryan.
CPortland Express-A Adv ertiser,

(Portland Express Adv ertiser)
Mr.. BRYAN has never beeel regarded
as especially strong with the Demo
cratic voters of Maine. The Water
Vile contingent which just now is i'll
power in the Democratic party in
this state has never posed as especial
" devoted to the Nebraskan leader
although Governor Plaisted has been
reckoned as a memtoer of that wing
of the party senator Johnson, by the
attitude taken by MIN in the party
caucus last week for the selection of
minority leaders III the Senate, dis
tinctly lined up with the Bryan peo
pie In an interview in the Boston
Globe. Mr johnson Is reported to have
expressed his disapproval of divisional
lines in the Democratic party, and his
dstaste for the term Democratic pro-
gressives but when it came to dec iding
d to his course as senator in his par
ty caucus he took his stand with the
progressive" element. and is 10 be
so counted as the Waterville Sentinel
this morning declares, with Gore, and
Owen, of Oklahoma. Shiyely and
Kein, of Indiana, : Chamberlain. of
Oregon. Davis of Arkansas, Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, Pomerene, of Ohio,
Myers. of Montana, O'Gorman, of New
York, and MARITIME. of New Jersey.
This decision of the Maine senator is
interesting because the contest for the
next Presidential nomination in the
Democratic convention will come be-
tween the two wings OF the party
whether Mr.. Bryan is hipself a can
di6ate or not Senator johnson takes
the position which appeals to him as
wise, and it has the effect to a large
degree of wedding the Democratic or
ganization in Maine to the Bryan ma
chine.

Brown Tail Moths.

Complaints are being made to the
city government by property owners
who have cleaned the brown tail moth
nests from their trees that many own
ers of adjoining property have failed
to do so.
The city has, at great expense. re-
moved the nests from trees in the
streets as required by law and property
owners justly feel that after paying
taxes for that expenditure. and the ex-
pense of removing nests from their
own trees that it is an injustice for
adjoining property owners to neglect
theirs.
The law provides that when owners
of private property neglect their trees
that the city may employ men to do
it and add the expense to the taxes on
the property.
Attention is called to the fact that
the nests contain little catcrpillars
that were Matched last fall, Onot eggs.
as many supposc). ON the first warm
days they crawl out of the nests and il
will then be too late. In fact il is only

Immediate action is necessary and
by direction of the mayor, attention
will be given to the enforcement of the
law at once.

The Congressional tumble.

The Washington correspondent of
the Kennebec Journal paints an inter-
esting picture of conditions at the eX-
traOrdinary session of the ed Con-
gress. With both parties divided and
the administration counting followers
and opposition in each, it seems likely
that an all-summer session is due.
The House majority has mapped out
a program that schedules several i'm
portant subjects ahead of the one for
which the session was called. The
Democrats Of the House do not pro-
pose TO tackle reciprocity at the start
off, but will take up popular election
Of u :. senators, publicity before
election of campaign contributions, and
statehood Of Arizona and New Mexico.
ahead Of the Presidents measure.
1t would look, also. as if the Delnoc-
racy, despite its natural leaning toward
anything making for free trade, is
split on the rock of reciprocity. There
are also Democratic opponents to radi-
cal reduction of tariff schedules. Some
of these are likely to vote with the
regular Republicans. Thus the pro-
posed revision of the wool and cotton
schedules will stir up differences.
Some Of the Democrats feel that they
ought To dispose of reciprocity" at
once and go home to await the in
formation the tariff commission is ex
pected to produce. They say they
think they owe that much to President
Taft Others meet the argument
with: What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander'-if we should
await the tariff commission why
should not the reciprocity agreement
have been founded upon its informa-
tion also? If we are going into this
tariff reduction business why not make
il worth while?"
OF course the Democrats are aware
that any radical tariff legislation
which they may put through the House
is likely to meet it's fate in the Senate
at the Presidents wish. or, if it sur
wives the upper house. there is still the
veto. II would not be surprising if
the passage of the reciprocity measure
by the Democratic House were con-
tingent upon the tacit understanding

The matter of pay from the Legisla-
ture to representatives of the press
an abuse which has existed in Con-
necticut for some years in spite of the
fact that it is against the law, was
called to the public attention at the
present session when $500 each was
given to II selected reporters. Some
five other reporters, who were left
out when the sheep and goats We're as
sorted in the original alignment. are
highly indignant over the matter and
are saying some very unhandsome
things about the Connecticut senator's.

The Spirit of Unity,

one OF the most commendable signs
of the growing spirit raf unity among
the various Protestant Christian de-
nominations is seen during the pres
ent week in the city Of Augusta. Spe-
cial Lenten services are being par
ticipated in by the pastors and con-
greSations of the Methodist, Baptist
Congregational, Free Baptist, Unitar-
ian and Universalist churches. The
program includes a sermon on each
week evening by one of the city pas
tors in his own church upon some
phase in the closing week of the Mas
ters life. The regular midweek ser
vices in the various churches are tenn
porarily suspended, visiting pastors
appear upon the platform and assist
in the service and the sermons thus
lar have been listened to by audiences
that have completely filled the audi.
forums Of the churches.

In Washington communication
Senator Johnson is quoted as saying
that the prohibition question was an
important issue in the last campaign.
1t certainly was, No party ever went
after an prohibition vote as the
Democratic party did last fall-and
they are making good all pledges to
that element. The Governor and his
followers, big and little, seem to agree
on this point, however much they dis
agree on others. The tools of en-
forcement were first thrown away. even
while they were proclaiming that they
were going to make Maine as dry as
Sahara.
How dry the State of Maine is may
be seen in the protests of leading
Democratic organs against existing
conditions. With Maine thrown back
to such a stage as existed before the
days of The Little Minister" in An
droscoggin county, the people of the
State may ask themselves how much
of step backward they have taken.
With even the Democratic newspapers
disgusted, how do the people like it?
If the Waterville Sentinel and Lewis
ton Sun feel obliged to denounce, in
the interests of common decency, ex-
listing conditions and the Democratic
procedure, what may the people expect
to realize when the Democratic ideal
is established?
The Democratic party has reached a
point where it publicly boasts itself
the enemy of prohibition. 1t has stalk
ed its future on that issue. 1t pro-
poses openly to swim by the aid of the
liquor interests or sink because of it,
Its chief legislation was in carrying
out party promises to overthrow pro-
hibition, and it is before the people to
say whether they prefer open bar
rooms, increased drunkenness and inn
morality to prohibition and tn best
enforcement that can be had.
