ed By G. M. Newman Finds
Committees Favor.

4 $4,000 tract OF land OF 80 acres,
in Highland Park. donated by c. II.
Newman. was selected Friday after
noon as the location for the School OF
Mines. The decision was made by a
committee composed Of mayor Tom
Lea. G 2. Hudspeth and T.. r Burgess,
appointed by governor James T. Fer
guson to choose n site for the school
The location is less than two blocks
from a street car line, and has water,
lights, and fun sanitary and sewerage
equipment The tract is well located,
in that il affords q good view OF the
Three sites Offered.
Three definite offers OF sites we're
made and there We're several other
propositions that had not been reduced
10 a concrete basis The latter offers
were OF tracts distant from transp5rta-
tion lines, and for this reason the COM
mittee did not take them up IN detail

bers of the committee saturday morn
ing Ell Paso is made UP OF Just such
true boosters-people that are willing
to make sacrifices for the common
Favored West Side site.
Mayor Tom Lea was in favor OF the
site near Sunset Heights. However, the
mayor signed the recommendation or
the other members of the committee
in order that the report TO the gov
ernOr would be unanimous
Mayor Lea's objection TO the New
man site was solely on account of tho
necessity OF installing a special water
service
The committee visited the various
sites offered. accompanied by Dr. r. =.
VinsOn, president of the University or
Texas. and :. H WOrrell, dean Of the
School Of Mines.

park and Nj Newman's beautiful resi-
dence, and is near the head of Rich
mond street The site IN its actual
boundaries is open TO the selection %
the committee and the School OF Mines
officials; the ground contains much
level land together with hills and small
canyons and with so much space avail
able, there is an opportunity for a
monumental group Of buildings that
can be seen for many miles The view
from the site is very extensive toward

While Squire Norwood of the Bid
deford Journal is trying to inveigle
us into a debate on the malodorous
subject of skunks, a hunter in Canaan
this state, shoots silver gray fox. A
bas the skunk!-Colonel Condor, in
Manchester Union.
Just because a hunter in the happy
land Of Canaan happened to shoot a
silver-gray fox (Which had probably
strayed across the state line from
Maine, got bewildered and was unable
to find it's way back) Colonel Condor
needn't think he can distract public
attention from the paramount issue.
Why, silver-gray foxes are so plenti-
full in Maine that-say. look ahere.
Colonel: you don't suppose that fox

stolen from a Maine man as he, the
man, was trying to penetrate the
rum saturated atmosphere in the vi
cinity Of Boston's North station the
other day. do you? The loser doesn't
care so much about the fox, but he'd
like to get track of the valise in which
he was carrying the animal.-Bidde-

And all around the Capitol the watch
word seems to be Pass the appropria-
ton bills and go home"
If this should be the result, there
will be two Presidential messages to
be explained away. Last September,
when Mr.. Wilson first took the rail-
road problem to Congress- he exhibited
a program which contained the COM
pulsory investigation as a cardinal
feature. During the campaign it was
argued that the imperative necessity of
concluding the session in view Of the
political campaign was all that pre-.
vented the passage of the investigation
bill then. In his annual message the
President renewed the recommended
ton and gave evidence. that he meant
business.
Yet it is now believed that he will
show no Spartan ardor for the meas
ure and that if Congress is reluctant to
act he will not prod it.
Out of this situation the iconoclastic
query "Who?" obtrudes itself. No one
can now answer it. The cryptic pro-
cesses Of reasoning by which the
President has advanced to SO many
strong positions only to beat a retreat.
are not open to public examination:
nor are they ever elucidated. There

whether the railroad program will fall
by the wayside: and. secondly. II so.

Marched Right in and turned Around.
Already there are rumors that the
Presidents plan for compulsory in
vestigation Of labor disputes cannot
become law. Organized labor is
against it and is reported to be trying
to find a compromise plan SO that
there will be no struggle in Congress
about 1t. But the prophets who are
forecasting complete failure base their
opinion upon the theory that Mr.. Will
son will not stand UP for what he has
told Congress is necessary.
It is true that no word has come
from the White House on the subject:
nor have any of the readily recogniz-
able authorized sources of authentic
rumor which cluster about the ad-
ministration given any sign. Never
theless, there is a subtle and growing
opinion that the whole program which
the President has insisted upon in his
message will be permitted to die from
neglect.
The Democratic leaders in the House
have frankly washed their hands Of IT.
They say that the proper origin for
anything of the kind should be in the
Senate. In the Senate. Mr.. Newlands
of Nevada, who is chairman of the
joint committee which is investigating
the matter. has lost something from
the jaunty confidence which he dis
played at the beginning Of the session.

Bic Field for Activity

Pictorial Review for January has ed
itorial suggestion to the Federation Of
Women's Clubs. Here is an excerpt:
!. Consider the motion-picture evil. the
suggestive Aims Of unfaithful husbands
and wives. What matters 1t II the Of
fender pays at the climax Of the photo
play, provided meantime that the
young girl or boy has watched step by
step. the offense against society and
the home. the stolen embraces, the as
signations, the forced but colorful gal
ETY. Of the pace that kills? Suppose
that every federated Club in the United
States were to pledge itself and its
membership to fight for clean motion
pictures. Suppose that in each and
every city and town boasting a feder-
ated club, these influential women
should say: mo matter how many
other things we may want to do. this
year our best energies and our strong
est committee will be devoted to a mo-
ton picture campaign" How long
would local exhibitors contract for sa-
lacious pictures? Not three months.
The General Federation Of Women's
Clubs boast a membership Of six mil
lion women. Benhind every mother in
the Federation stands a neighbor,
| teacher, and a husband. Their united
protests on one subject would annihilate
the evil. Corruption and graft in To-
| cal and municipal elections are the
curse of the country. If these organized
women serve notice on party leaders
that it must be stopped it will be
stopped r they back up their protest
with deedstand keep hammering away
until it is stopped.

New Harbor, II miles from the near
est railroad station, Newcastle, right
on the seacoast and exposed to every
wind that blows was one of the most
isolated towns if not the most i'll Maine
as a result Of the recent terrific north
east gale and snoWstorm which dashed
the New England coast. This little
fishing town was shut off from the rest
of the world for three days. The first
mail to reach New Harbor after Fri
day arrived about 10 o'clock Monday
night. The Emile drive over the roads
| to Newcastle We're being continually
drifsed by the snow swept along by a
stiff westerly wind and the first deliv-
cry OF mail over this route took about
six hours. Telephone connections were
cut off from Friday night until late
Monday afternoon. The steamer Nine
ola was day late in making her run
from Portland to Rockland. being held
up by the heavy sea. The storm
brought a snowfall of about foot and
half. which was precipitated in some
places into drifts six and eight feet
deep. Veteran sea captains at New
Harbor say that the gale was the heav-
lest since the memorable one in 1888,
when the Inflated Portland went down.
1t will be of interest to many to know
that in recent issue Of the North
Adams (Mass.) Transcript there was
an article setting forth the merits Of an
aircraft which was constructed by Ora
vile L. Dunton. former Chelsea boy.
Mr.. Dunton now makes North Adams,
Mass, his home. A part of the North
Adams (Mass.) story reads as follows:
20. l.. Dunton gave his aeroplane it's
first test yesterday afternoon on the
grounds adjoining the hanger on State
stI eet. OF course, it was only a trial
spin, but the machine did all that was
expected Of it by its inventor. The
spin was not SO much for the purpose
of rising into the air as it was for get
ting what the inventor calls the ball
ance. This means that the weight of
the engine and the other parts of the
machine have to be brought under the
balanced support of the wings so that
when the machine is in the air she
will not be heavy fore or aft. General
interest increases in the new type of
machine invented by Mr.. Dunton.
Newspaper men and others have visit
ed Mr.. Dunton's shops and hanger to
