The CoIoneI's Unwise Counsel.

In his letter to the Maine Progress
sives promising them his support in
their State campaign, Mr.. Roosevelt
defends anew his decision to support
a Republican in the person of Mr.. Hin
man for governor of New York, and
indicates that where similar condi-
tions exist in other states he would
favor similar action or the part of his
own party. 1t Is pity that he is not
better Informed regarding political de-
velopments in Maine, for when he
classes the new Republican organize
ton IN that State with the reactionary
Barnes and Penrese machines in New
York and Pennsylvania he only ad-
vertises his ignorance of what has
happened in Maine within the last 1a
months. Under the leadership of a
new chairman, the Republican party
has been reorganized throughout and
is prepared to enter the campaign in
better shape than in any other New
England State. Instead of being re-
dictionary at any point, Chairman
Parkhurst has liberalized the entire
personnel of the organization. His or
ganization is a model for other states.
In Maine more than in any other New
England State a Republican and Pro-
gressiye fusion programme was who'll
~ logical, and, had Mr. Roosevelt been
better advised, would have been adopt
ed. AS it is. the Republicans were
able in by election last year to car
~ Congressional district in spite of
the presence in the field of a Progress
slve candidate. II may easily happen
that in the September election the Re-
publicans can defeat both their Pro-
gressive and Democratic opponents.
BY making II a three party fight,
however. Mr.. Roosevelt not only rem
ders the task In Maine more difficult,
but upon the advice of very unwise
counsel he delays the day Of logical
fusion in other states.--Boston Tran
script.

MRS. YOUNG DON'T AGREE WITH
CHANGE OF BUDGET PLANS
A resolution drafted by Trustee
Sonstenby of the finance committee
of the school board was objected to
by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superin-
tendent of schools, yesterday at a
meeting of the board. The effect of
the resolution was to take the prep
arations of the educational budget
out of the hands of the superin-
tendent and place it in the hands of
the secretary of the board. The
resolution in part reads:
Resolved, That the secretary be
and hereby is instructed to prepare a
budget along scientific lines"
81 don't think Mrs. Young has any
objection to the resolution said Mr..
Sonsteby. "Have you Mrs. Young?"
81 do not understand the claim
made in the implication that. the
budget was never made UP on
scientific basis" answered Mrs.
Young. 1.-THE budget has been made
up on a per capita basis"
Trustees Peterson and Roulston
voted for it, while Trustee Rothman
and President Reinberg and M. ]. Col
Inns voted against it.

ity, therefore, although the liner was
heading for the sea and the collier
coming in from it, the disaster was
mot one of the ocean, but Of the river.
Unlike the Titanic's victims, the. En-
press of ireland lost their lives with
in sight of shore-in landlocked wa
ters.
Immediately the ships crew recov-
ereai from the shock Of the collision
and it was seen that the liner had re-
ceivei' fatal blow wireless IS. o.
S." call was sounded.
The appeal was picked up by tn,
government mail tender Lady Evelyn
here and the governrknt pilot boat
Eureka at Father Point and both at
once set out to the rescue. So deep
was the hurt Of the Empress, how
ever, and so fast the thrush of waters
that long before either the rescue
boats could reach the scene the liner
had gone down.
Accounts agree that in the brief
space oftime-not more than IA
minutes-between the shock of the
collision Of the liner-there was little
chance for systematic marshalling of
the passengers. Indeed, everything
indicated that hundreds Of those on
the steamer probably never reached
the decks.
Very few women were amopg the
saved, not more than dozen appear
ing on the list of survivors.
"It all happened So quickly that We
lid not really know what was going
on and nobody hal time to cry 'wo-
men first" one of the passengers told
Captain Bellinger of. the rescue boat
Eureka.
"The stewards lid not have. time to
rouse people from their berths," the
survivors added.
