President Taylor of Vassar
College has resigned because
nine-tenths of the Vassar girls
are either socialists or suffra-
gettes. He acted wisely. Vassar
under these conditions is indeed
no place for a nervous man.
When a woman's mind becomes
absorbed with her rights"
there is little hope of her ever
grasping other ideas. At any
rate, DR.. Taylor doubtless pre-
fers to spend and be spent
among more congenial sur
roundings. He deserves a rest
if things are as bad as he re-
ports.

We would suggest to our
farmers to write to the post
office department at Washing
ton and get the rules and regu-
lations as to shipment of farm
produce by parcel post, especial
ly as to the requirements for
packing and mailing such COM
modities as butter, eggs, fowls,
etc. The law being new, there
is considerable confusion as to
the rules and rates of the SER
vice. The main object of the
new law is to bring the con-
sumner and producer closer to-
gether, which will be to the in
terest of both. The new law is
to become a great factor in re-
ducing the cost of living and in
quickening the business life of
rural districts. 1t should be a
great blessing to the country at
large.

THE CHARLESTON POST
AND MIR. BRYAN.

The Charleston Evening Post
i'm an editorial entitled Fearful
of Mr.. Bryan" while taking
The New York Sun to task for
it's severe criticism of Mr..
Bryan, suggesting that the po-
sition of The Sun is extreme,
goes on to pile it on to Mr..
Bryan about as severely as The
Sun, characterizing him as be-
ing "mushy," "too narrow"
etc. Fortunately President
elect Wilson is a better judge of
the high character and attain
ments of Mr.. Bryan than either
The Sun or The Post, and we
sincerely hope and believe that
Notwithstanding the harsh
structures of the one and the in
situations of the other. Mr..
Wilson will give him the prem
iership in his cabinet.

A warning against over
production of cotton has been
given by Mr.. f. j. Watson,
South Cardinals commissioner
of agriculture. Why not diver
sify your crops, Mr.. Farmer?
You may rest assured that food
products will bring you a good
price, but how can you feel GER
tain that cotton will? You need
not feel that cotton is the only
crop nor even that it is the
most profitable one. Put some
of the lessons taught at the
corn show into practice.

The recent ruling of Circuit
Judge Shipp at Anderson to the
effect that a person receiving
illicit liquor is as guilty under
the law as the person selling it,
is based upon good common
sense and we hope the present
law is broad enough. to support
his ruling, and in case of an ap-
peal, if the supreme court does
not sustain Judge Ships rul-
ing the law should be amended
so as to make that law which
should be law. The transporter
and user of illicit liquor should
be punished the same as the
seller. They are all equally
guilty. With the Webb bill and
the law as Judge Shipp under
stands it in force, the blind
tiger, his sympathizers and
friends will have to get off the
job.
