Another fAdacCracken has Joined the ranks of college presidents Professor Henry Noble MacCracken was elected president of Vassar by the board of trustees Of that institution. He suc- ceeds to the office made vacant last February by the resignation of Dr.. James M. Taylor. He will begin his work next February. Professor Mac Cracken is a son of Dr. Henry Nit cheu MacCracken chancellor emeritus Of New York University. and 9 broth : CT Of D4. John Henry MacCracken, who recently was selected as presi- dent of Lafayette college at Easton, Pa Proud as Chancellor MacCracken undoubtedly feels of his sons. other in stitutions Of learning will not be able to foster the monopoly, as Lafayette and Vassar have exhausted the supply Of MacCracken sons. It is doubtful if another family possesses an educa- ttona1 halo equal to that of the Mac Cracken family. lThe new president of vassar was graduated from New York University in 1900 and for three years was instructor in English in the Protestant college in Beirut, Syria He received the degree of M A at New York University in 1904 and at Harvard in 1905.

actor-student, who has become recog-
nized by the entire world for his
marked characterization of Dickens
types. 'The Mystery of Edw. brood"

one to produce his solution in films.
The story of Edw. brood concerns
his love affair with Rosa Bud. John
Jarker, an uncle Of brood, is a sort
of Jeckye-Hyde character, church or
ganist, and open friend. Another
fellow, Lowdless,i is in love with Rosa

Mr.. Editor:
The election is over. and the Canas
Bin was defeated BY a substantial
majority, and am sorry that it has
left some sore spots, but it is SO, be-
cause VIE do not consider we received
fair treatment.
Every officeholder, from the larg-
est to the smallest, with few excep-
lions, was opposed to the bill.
Although some of tie larger ones
opposed the county bonding for a
measure which we, as business men,
believe would have been the biggest
thing for this town and county in a
commercial wav. that has ever been
presented. If some of these big Of
ficeholders, who have the county's in
terest so much at heart, would only
accept a salary according to the
time they devote to their Office, we
would have plenty of funds to nrild
canals and railroads.
have no axe to grind and had no
selfish motive i'll working for the ca
nal, for behaved its passage, would
have meant more prosperous times
to this community.
If some of these of1fceholde3rs gave
more Of their time to their Office, IN
stead Of playing politics on non
partisan measure, the county would
come nearer getting value received.
