Bates College claims that instead OF

Bates led by eight years with Mary
Wheelwright Mitchell of Dover. who
entered Bates in the fall of 1866 and
graduated in June. 1869, two years be-
fore Mrs. Carver entered Colby. The
Bates people also remark offhand that
the second woman graduate in Maine
was Miss Hannah Elizabeth Haley Of
Tuftonboro, n. H., who entered Bates
in 1869 and graduated in 1873. AS both
the Bates graduates are dead. Mrs
Carver can claim to be the oldest living

STATE AUDITOR:
Roy L. Wardwell
Demoeraey's Faint Reply.

The Waterville Sentinel. in attempt
ing to answer our criticism Of the
pretense Of Governor Curtis and State
Treasurer Newbert. says:
d" But Governor Fernald not only ex-
-. pended all of the money that he had, he
n ran behind million and quarter dollars
whereas Governor Curtis administration
Is living within its income"
Our neighbor forgot, perhaps. the re-
port Of the State treasurer for the
Plaisted administration who showed in
over from the tax assessment of the
J.. last year Of the Fernald administration
to pay all the bills contracted in that
. administration.
Why not have been honest and said
that II Governor Fernalds tax assess
ments had been five mills in the first
year and three in the second year all of
the bills would have been paid with the
exception Of about $350,0o0? And why
not have added that, had Fernald had
nine mills in his two years all of these
splendid additions and improvements
would have been secured, paid for and
left a comfortable surplus in the
treasury?
The Plaisted administration had the
advantage Of both. The Curtis ad
ministration has had more because of
increased valuation, and where is his
- State House. Reformatory for Boys,
Hospitals, etc.?
= Maybe they forgot to mention these
little facts but they go on to say:
~ Governor Plaisted paid the balance
amounting to about s350,OO0."
II Governor Plasted paid it" with the
= large unadjusted tax balance coming
over from 1910 and about s1,1Oo,0O0
more taxes assessed in his administra
y. ton than was assessed in Fernalds
And where is the stone and brick and
concrete left in the State in permanent
improvements by the Plaisted admin
istration? Is 1t not Of the same kind
as will be left by the Curtis admins
tration?

doris and ministers abroad are expect
ed to resign as a sequel to President
Wilson's reelection and succession to
a new term OF office.
Many OF them were appointed orig
inally without special knowledge on
their part Of the peculiar requirements
Of their posts. Some had no intention
OF remaining abroad more than one
term OF four years. In other cases
some who expected to make even
shorter stays abroad have from force
OF circumstances especially the exig'
encles of the present war, continued at
their posts only to meet the wishes of
the state department.
Foreign policies will engross large
part OF President Wilson's attention

never contemplated when he first as
sumed office. II is regarded as essen
