Mt. y. VI. basque, WHO lOI d
number of years has held the
position of assistant to the COM
mandant, has resigned and at
present it is not known who Will
take his place.
1t afforded the entire student
body and faculty here much
pleasure in hearing the Metro
politau Grand Concert Co. on
the evening Of March 1st. The
company consisted of four Of the
best singers Of the day, and we
feel assured that we were very
fortunate to get them to come to
Clemson.
We regret very much not be-
ing able to have with US on the
evening of February %, MIR. L.
J. Bemhardt, of Yale University,
who was to deliver in the mem
orial hall his famous lecture,
The Pace That Kills the Way
Back" It is hoped that Mr..
Bemharpt will fill his engage
ment at Clemson at an early date.
During the latter part Of first
week in March, Dr.. W. D.
Weatherford, international Stu
dent Secre tary OF the Young
Mems Christian Association,
conducted a series Of meetings
here. Or. Weatherforo IS known
throughout the South as a elo-
quent and forcible speaker. He
has had experience with college
men throughout the entire world,
which makes him fully capable
Of having a keen insight into
their lives. I think I can voice
the sentiment of the student
body when | say that Clemson is
much indebted to DR.. Weather
ford for his sincere advice. In.
stead of having the regular drill
on Friday, Captain Stokes very
kindly consented to give the
cadets PERMISSION to hear Dr..
Weatherford in the chapel. On
Friday night he delivered one
of his best addresses on The
Freedom of Manhood" His talk
on Saturday night dealing with
The Sins of the World" was
equally as fne. 1t was our good
fortune to have DR.. Weatherford
remain with US until Sunday in
order to conduct the regular
preaching service IN the chapel
on that day
The next meeting of the Board
of Trustees will convene at
Clemson, Monday, March 9th.
Track practice is now in full
blast and it is encouraging to
see how many students are TAX
ing part in the exercises each
afternoon. Above all things
Clemson can boast Of the success
of her track team, which success
is due mainly to the perseverance
of Dr.. F. II. Il. Calhoun. .Asss
present the track team has
bright prospects ahead, and
there is no doubt out that Glenn
son will continue to hold up her
past record.
Mr.. Robert L. Sweeny, Cen
eral Secretary OF the Clemsoi-
y. NJ. c.. a.. and Messrs. Provost
AID Rabb, returned few days
ago from Winthrop College,
where they had been attending
a student volunteer conference.
The reported that they had q
very delightful time while at
Winthrop.
The time is fast approaching
for the second term examinations
which commences about the
oOth of this month.

ing toward temperance. But the way
of temperance is the slow improve
ment of private morals, and the scien-
tific persuasion of men and women
that they are more efficient, prosper
GUS and happy without Intoxicating
drinks. Wise reformers recognize that
an evil that has hOurished since the
dawn of civilization cannot be up
rooted in moment and IS not pro
NOTED by acts of violence or tOrclble
restraint. They know that appeals to
peoples hearts and brains are far
more potent than the welding CT
hatchets, and so they spread their
propa ganda by peaceful persuasion.
The American saloon, of which Mrs.
| Nation was so doughty an antagonist,
| is a crying evil, and in its present
form, at least, will have to go If
men and women will continue to
drink, better ways must be found OF
ministering to their desires The

Her husband was an editor. They
were not happy together, and he pro-
cured a divorce, which set her free to
travel about the country and har-
angue. Undoubtedly she was sin

and the more frequently she was ar

OF late years she had been little
heard of spending most of her time in
Bible-reading and contemplation 1t
is said that she had accumulated the
handsome sum of two hundred thous-
and dollars, which is probably an eX-

those of Carrie Nation are likely to do

Perhaps the chief lesson, after all.
of Carrie Nations life was its demon
stration of the wonderful respect
which the American people have for
women They tolerated her for more
than decade and permitted her to
indulge in such practical anarchy as
Emma Goldman never dreamed of.

Iowa, to inval1date the constitution
with statute authorizing the con-
Quoting of saloons, under strict state
regulation and control. The money to
be paid for this privilege to be called
a mulct instead of a license. The ar
rangements made between joint keep
ers and county authorities in Kansas
had no force or authority of law be-
hind them. The open joints were law
less, and their invasion by a woman
with a Ratchet bent upon the destruc-
ton of the fixtures and the pouring
out of the fluids could not be more
lawless than were the men conduct
ing these places.
When she extended her crusade
into other states, in which the liquor
traffic was legalized and when in par

she greatly multiplied the opponents
of her cult Men who would have
cheered her on in the work of making
it impossible for anybody to get q
drink, turned against her when she
proposed making it impossible for any
man to get a smoke. In St. Louis,
where we insist upon smoking in
street cars, and in the presence Of
ladies, we were compelled to frown
down such presumption. But all
doubt of the old Woman's sincerity
was removed when she made over
the Leavenworth property, which was
practically all she had, to be used as
a home for wives and children of
drunkards until they could be assist
ed to become SeII-Supporting. She may
have been an advertiser, a poSeur, a
seeker after notoriety, and all else she
was called. A fanatic she undoubtedly
was. But she was an honest fanatic

The death of Mrs. Carrie Nation in

would have been treated elsewhere as
a dangerous fanatic or demented

used the famous Ratchet
In a few months Mrs. Nation be-
came one of the best-knoWn women
in the world, but her actions puzzled
most of the people of Europe and
strengthened the opinion there that
the United States is a lawless country,
where the good and the bad are equal
ly ready to resort to violence. 1t was
never understood that to a very large
extent women are outside of the law
in the United States and can do what
they please, if it is sufficiently sensa-
tional to catch the fancy of the
masses. On the whole, the saloon

Nation, and it was the very best

populace is profoundly saturated with
the notion that women are irrespon-

murmuring against the will of Provi-

Gus acquieScence in her methods on
the theory that Kansas was a queer

standard.
Mrs Nation hit upon an easy
method Of acquiring fame and is sure
of a place in the social history of our
times. 1t is not seriously believed
anywhere that she caused one cigar
cite less to be smoked or reduced the
consumption of liquor by a single gal
lon, but her methods amused the pub
lie and appealed to that smashing in
stinct which is part of our heritage
from the childhood of the race.-St.
Louis Dispatch.
A most remarkable character passed
off the stage of life in the death of
Caroline Nation, at Leavenworth- "All
the worlds a stage and all the men
and women merely players" says
Shakespeare and If it be true that
each of US is cast in a part destined for
our playing then this old woman has
done well. She was a more fit object
of compassion than of the ridicule
to which she was often subjected by
the minimizing. Even when seen al
her worst as she often was in the st.
Louis Union Station, knocking Of

from the mouths of smokers. it was
the evidence OF a mild mental de-

Springfield (Mass.), Republican.
AS long ago as the 9Th of June,
1900, lady living at Medicine Lodge,
Kan, went out into her back yard one
morning and picked up half dozen
bricks. Then she wrapped up each
separately in old newspapers and to
her collection added three or four big
bottles. Thus armed and equipped,
she seated herself in her buggy and
started for the village of Kiowa She
drove up in front of a saloon and
through the front windows and glass
doors. Thus the fronts of three sal
oonS were dem oltShed and the casualty
list would have been longer except
that one or two other proprietors,
seeming danger, put I'D the shutters.
Then she stood up in her vehicle and
made a speech to the crowd that
gathered. She said that the law had
been violated and an offense commit
ted and that somebody ought to be
PAOSCCuIS0- OI16 pOlQLGQ OUT either
that the saloons had no business to
run, or If they were legal then she had
no business to interfere with them.
After delivering this harangue she
seated herself again in her buggy and
drove back to Medicine Lodge. The
next morning Carrie Nation was
famous.
Following up and improving the
notoriety thus secured, she went into
the business of saloon smashing and
| conducted 1t very successfully, es-
pecially in the South and West, and
whether or no she was right or wrong,
there have been quite temperance
waves in that locality in the last de-
cade. If her maneuvers had any eff
feet on the cause 1t was merely in call
ing attention to it, so that people
would think and talk about it and SC
be moved to action. The fact that
Mrs. Nations mother was insane and
| died in an institution has been seized
upon by some as suggesting her own
lack of mental poise- She was shrewd
as we'll as enthusiastic. If she took q
Ratchet to smash a saloon door OF
| saloon bar, she also had several hun
1 dred little hatchets on the speakers
platform, which, when the exercises
we're over. she sold for 25 cents apiece
as souvenirs of the occasion. She was
a kind hearted, benevolent appearing
motherly old lady. whose aggressive
ness was not suggested by her aDDear-
