Protest of Laundrymen 10 Be Allowed Monday Visits to Be Acted on
 Next Term,

With the beginning of next week the Yale campus will be open once more temporarily to every sort of convey ance that can have the slightest reason 10 go underneath the gates and will continue so until after college has closed The reason for this Is that many students have luggage which they wish 10 carry home with them for Christmas which would be impossi- ble to drag to the gates to meet the carriages and vans, After the vacation the gates will be open for three days and then they will close untll the spring recess
 The rule in regard to the closing Of the campus has been in operation for two months and has worked very suc- cessfully, So far as the university was concerned much less opposition was met on the part of the local merchants who were in the habit of sending de- livery wagons to the campus than was expected, The only trouble was raised by the laundrymen who wanted to send their wagons onto the campus Mon, days. while the earliest open hours of the week were from 10 to 12 on Tues days This trouble has not vet been adjusted, but probably will be with the beginning of next term,
 The campus has been greatly i'm proved so far as the appearance Is con ccrned Formerly all day long the roadway was occupied with clothes pressing laundry and other delivery wagons, sometimes blocking the pas sageway to such an extent that car rage could not go by The very few carriages which visited the campus during the fall and winter led the unl- versity authorities to make f rule I. ph ln Sia

tNew York Evening Post)
 Undoubtedly the geographical lines drawn by the president will lay him open to the charge that he was care- ful to overlook the southern postmas- ters for use in future conventions. This criticism we believe to be unjust. Ii will be no easy matter to draw up satisfactory examination papers at first, and the difficulty of holding examina- tlons in the vast rural stretches of the west and south must he borne in mind. Again, in the south there is the ever present race problem to be considered. While il Is highly desirable that tha bogus republican organizations in the south should be deprived of their postmaster props as speedily as possi- be we believe the president did well to 20 slowly In the matter, and that there should he no qualifying of the praise he has richly earned.
