NEW PROFESSOR IN ERSKINE

1t was matter of sincere regret
to the Board and friends of Erskine
College when Professor P. l.. Grier
resigned the chair, which he has filled
so long and so acceptably. He was
elected to the chair of mathematics
when a young man and has served the
college faithfully for about a quar-
ter of century. The Synod at its
last meeting expressed officially its
appreciation of his valuable and self
sacrificing services.
At meeting of the Board held
during the meeting of Synod, Rev. e..
B. Williams was elected to fill the
chair made vacant by Prof. Grier's
resignation. Dr.. Moffatt informs Us
that he has a telegram from Bro.
Williams that he accepts the position.
This is gratifying information. Bro
Williams is strong man and will be
valuable addition to the faculty.
The Board is to be congratulated on
securing his services.-A. R. Presby
terian.

CANDIDATE COX, TIE UNDII((11lrlIIIIE'II led

from the time Of George Washing
9on to the present moment 1t has been
characteristic Of the American people
80 demand dignits as an absolutely
essential quality in the makeup Of a
president The instances have been
80 rare in which an occupant Of the
4$'hite House has forgotten the obliga-
aion he is under to the nation to main
3ain his poise under all circumstances
HAT it requires close historical inves
aigation to come upon them. Our
Presidents have been, ne matter what
may have been their shortcomings as
executives, worthy In their outward
bearing of the eminence to which they
aad attained. .r
1t is serious handicap to James NJ
Cox that he has displayed. in his
Presidential campaign, a lack Of dig
nifty that has been, in some of it's
manifestations, actually shocking. 1t
is not demanded, Of course, that a
Presidential candidate shall GO about
his campaign activities with book of
etiquette in one hand and a box Of
sedative pills in ths ether. The Amer
lean public, with its usual sense Of
Justice, makes due allegiance always,

an aspirant for the Presidency. for the
great physical and mental strain that
he is undergoing But there is limit
beyond which it's patience and sym
pathy may safely be tried, and Gov
ernor Cox has repeatedly passed that
limit.
OF course, 1t may be too much to ex-
pect that a candidate who owes his
nomination to the fact that he was the
only one of many aspirants who was
thoroughly persona grata to men like
Murphy, Nugent, Taggart and Bren-
nan should possess that constituencies
to the proprieties that has safeguard
ed the dignity Of our Presidents as
class. But even after making due al
lowance for the fact that a mans man,
ners are Influenced by the company he
keeps, it islnot too much to say that
Governor Cox, in his recent public ut
terances and in certain cheap appeals
he has made to people lacking in good
taste, has placed himself outside the
pale from which alone an occupant Of
the White House should be chosen.
AS President there is every reason
to believe that the undignifed Cox
would offend against precious ira
dition that is, as it should be, dear to
the hearts Of the American people.

USE FOR OLD MINES.

Even old abandoned mines are go,
ing to be put to some possible use,
according to the following: A mine
superintendent in the Joplin-Miami,
Mo, district has visions of making
a fortune out of mushroom raising
in the abandoned mine drifts in that
section. They are continually warm,
just about moist enough, and in
those where mules have been util-
lied for ore hauling there is plenty
of good soil. The superintendent
has rugged up an ingenious electric
lighting scheme with tinted globes,
some one having told him mush-
rooms must have a little light, even
if til is not sunshine, and he has
planted his first bed and is await
ing results. If it works, he esti-
mates there is enough acreage in the
abandoned mines in the whole dis
trict to product mushrooms for the
whole world.

4I..'aENcE DEMAND FOR TIN
United 2taEeS Produces None and
Uses Mere Than All the Rest
Of the World.

The United States now uses in the
manufacture Of tin cans as much tin
plate as al other countries together
use FOR all purposes. There is no
substitute for tin. Price has little
effect on consumption, which is not
true Of other metals. If tin cost
IS cents a pound, we should per-
haps put thicker coating on our
plates and make better solder and
Babbitt metal; but if it were a dol
lar a pound, we should still have1to
use it for nearly every one Of the
purposes for which it is now en-
ployed.
The lack Of tin is one of the few
things that keep the United States
from being self-sufficient. If we
were suddenly deprived of our sup
ply of tin and solder, we should
soon have serious sanitary troubles
This is the only metal that sells
today at less than the average price
Of two years before the war. Other
metals are selling at prices from 81
to $50 per cent higher, but tin is
something lower.
