PRES. TITLES PLEA

The University of Maine was
fortunate, yesterday. in having Its
case presented by President Little.
His zeal for making the University
worthy Of its purpose and OF the
State, whose name it bears. is I'M
mistakable. He has not the many
years of experience but his
outlook is manifestly practical and
We think he convinced those who
heard him that he knows what is
needed at the University.
That institution, he said, had
experienced a growth IN student
registration similar to that OF like
institutions in other states. While
he believes it has reached the satur-
alton point as regards the men, he
thinks provision should be made for
at least 300 more women and the
resolve contemplates such provision.
He declares that the estimates were
based on carefully made investiSa-
ton. His description OF the run
dowo condition at the University
was not calculated to bring flush
Of pride to faces of Maine folks.
indicating as it did a neglect that
certainly is not in keeping with good
management or wise provision. 1t
was not at all a pretty story. DR..
Little made it effective. His con-
clusion, that until Maine provides
70 c
dependents it cannot expect its best
boys and girls to he enthusiastic
about remaining within its confines,
is logical, although we like to think
Maine has a hold on her sons and
daughters which may not be reduced
to the cold terms of logic.
He spoke of nine states smaller
than Maine that are giving IS cents
but 90 cents to its University.
Whether those states have as good
facilities as has Maine outside the
University for its sons TO acquire
the A. B. degree did not appear.
He dwelt at length on the dis
advantages arising from necessity
for the University to come before the
Legislature with outstretched hands
every two years. All in any way
acquainted with such condition cam
not fail to comprehend somewhat of
the difficulties to which it gives rise.
1t surely is in violation of one of the
fundamentals of business. 1t is
costing the State a lot of money
and the institution lot of efficiency
to be restrained and hampered by
such requirement. Teachers,
students, prospective donors. CO.
operation, the advantages of sys-
tematic planning, all suffer because
of such a makeshift method of main
tcnancc. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that his estimate of an annual loss
to the State of approximately $144,-
900, which otherwise. with ten
year program for instance. might be
saved, is we'll within probability.
This, we believe. should have
especial weight with the lie: islaturc
In making its provisions.

We might ask where our cor
respondent gets his unwarranted as
sumption that the Journal approves
the method Of tilibustering. While
accomplishing occasional good results
we believe it capable of more mischief
than good Ii it be not cowardly it has
the merit of courage. The present NIL
buster is cowardly in that il has avoid
cd discussion of the merits or the
measure and is incompetent in that II
has presented no substitute for the
shipping aid dill. No one has pretend
ed that the Democrats are solely re-
sponsible for this filbuster. The rec
ord shows plainly that self-styled Re-
publicans have joined with Democrats
in preventing any aid to shipping. But
the fact remains the bill is Il measure

representatives OF the Democratic or
ganization are working to defeat 1t. 1t

ASK YOUR NEiGHBOR

There is hardly a neighborhood in
the United States where women can
not be found who have derived bcne-
tit from Lydia E. Pinkhams Nege-
table Compound. For nearly fifty
years this botanic medicine has been
overcoming some of the worst
forms of female ills. AS one woman
has been benefited by its use she
has told others who have used it
with the same good results: SO the
use of this great medicine has
spread from shore to shore by the
recommendation of those who have
found it good. Therefore, ask your
neishbor; let her tell YOU from
experience the benefit which aiiing
women derive from its use.
