The country is entering one Of the

ability and character fthe American
~. In common with many others l fec.
that the Republican party. reunited
and rejuvenated. is the best agency
through which the great tasks of the
critical years ahead can be performed;
and that an uncommonly high degree
OF party harmony is essential if We are
10 do well the heavy work before us.
Il am. therefore, interested only in
the formulation Of such party policies.
the nomination of such party candidates
and the adoption of such party prac-
tees as will appeal to the good sense of
the country: and also assure The fullest
party concord. to the end that. as a

Of the people
The above is from a letter written
10y Hon. Albert ]. Beveridse under
date of February 18th. It does credit
10 brilliant man. n Hoosier, a Re
publican and an American.
BY it Mr.. Beveridge does not abro-
gate his power for good rather he
enhances il. Because of the fact that
he is not seeking political preferment
in a scramble for Office his excellent
advice will be better needed. Speak
ing as private citizen With no axes
10 grind his words afford inspiration
sorely needed. He appreciates the
splendid agency for the good of this
people reunited and rejuvenated
Republican party may be and he
will not permit his personal ambition
to interfere at a critical time.
Albert J. Beveridgc is Il brilliant
man as we'll as a sterling Republic
can with progressive tendencies.
Those OF our readers who enjoyed the
privilege Of hearing him speak in
Augusta few years ago will vouch
for his brilliant qualities as an orator,
will realize that it lies within his
power as a private citizen TO do yeo-
man work for his party and his coun-
try and there are some who believe
that IL he lives this attitude on his
part will later receive its reward.

CARNIVAL ENDS
AT BATES COLLEGE

Lewiston, Me-, Feb. 2S-The Winter
Carnival at Bates College was brought
to a successful conclusion this after
noon by snowshoe and ski races on
the Girls Athletic Field at College
street and Mountain avenue. The
huge drifts Of snow on Garcelon Field
made it impracticable to have the
contests there. Although the big
storms Of last week compelled a post
ponement of the carnival for a week
and made it impossible for the Tufts
hockey team to keep it's schedule for
a game during the carnival. and al
though the weather yesterday and to-
day has been bitter cold, the ther-
mometer hardly rising above zero, it
is generally considered that the ex-
pertinent Of holding Winter varnival
has been big success. It will be I'M
doubtedly made an annual event on
the list of Bates College sports. The
races this afternoon resulted as fol-
lows:
220-Yard Ski Race--Won by Jen-
kins. 20: True, 81, second; Tracy, go,
third.
c20-Yard Snow Shoe Race-Won
by Bond. 81; Luce, '22, second; Good,
'23, third.

Id Be a Butterfly

OH. could l pilfer the wand Of a fairy,

wings;
Their summer days ramble is sportive
and airy,
They sleep in a rose when the nighun-
gale sings,
Those who have wealth must be watch

Power. alas! naught but misery
brings:
I'd be butterfly, sportive and airy,
Rocked in rose when the nightng gale
sings.
What though you tell me each gay lit

Shrinks from the breath of the first
autumn day;
Surely. it's better when summer is over,
To die. when all fair things are fading
away.
Some in life's winter may toll to dis

Means of procuring weary delay:
I'd be butterfly. living a rover,
Dying when fair things are fading

Aagie Students to the Rescue

Learn to Farm on Farms" This
is the novel, enterpr:sing and virgin
idea that is to be tried out by the
Massachusetts Agricultural College
the coming spring and summer. Who
would ever suppose such thing
would really come to pass? 1t will
revolutionize the art OF farming
into something Of the scientific grind
that 1t really is. 1t will teach the boys
not to plant onions and potatoes side
by side,-eveIy real farm boy already
knows why not; it will demonstrate
that the only way TO lead u Calf is by
the other end; it will show the ad-
vantage Of backing j horse into the
shafts instead Of dragging the wagon
up to the house; in word it will in
ject the laboratory methods into the
agricultural courses with VEN
Aeance.
Seriously, the plan seems the es-
.ence of sense. Farmers are growing
-
more ard more in need Of farm help
which cannot bc had, provided tie
unemployed can find any other work
The agricultural students are con-
sidering farming as a vocation and
presumably do not have the preiu-
dice against it that tie average
Young man has. The farmers who
will employ these students are old
hands at the business and can teach
them no end Of little things that will
rever occur in the agricultural
school curriculum, while the agricul-
tural schoo! can in its turn give the
farmers many Of the benefits Of ex-
Fermentation which the individual
cannot afford to make.
The students will hire out for six
months and will be paid the market
rates for their labors. They will at
an times b under the supervision Of
the college authorities and will be
. placed with farmers who will be ex
pected to take q personal interest in
them. Tho practical farm work is to
De made . part Of the requirements
for graduation from the agricultural
conege. hence the farmers who en-
pioy the students will be reasonably
free from the worry Of having their
he'p leave tn the midst Of the season.
Such a simple and sensible plan
for solving the farm labor problem is
at least worthy Of trial. and if it
proves successful should be WIDELY
emElated.
