An editorial in last weeks

ment of DIR. D. @. Hull President
of the A & M College read in part; !;
ut is hoped that this splendid
move will set a new president"
in college politics. Proof was
corrected to read sit is hoped
that this splendid move will set
a new precedent" in college poll
tics,' but somehow the error
crept in. TWAS not our intention
to put DR.. Hull into politics. 1t
was our intention to convey the
thought that State Colleges be
kept out of politics. However as
long as this explanation seemed
pertinent we may state by way Of
addendum thatif Dr. Hull should
ever be inclined to enter the
political arena we think him we'll
qualified for any Office he might
wish, and if he wished it hard
enough we should lay by our
present policy of political neu-
trality and tolerance and throw
ourselves into campaign in his
behalf with more than ordinary
ferver. 1t is hoped nevertheless
that for many years to come that
DR.. Hull will conine himself to
the great work of educational ad-
yancement and the building up
Of Mississippi's greatest institu-

The South

The thrill OF life stirs the South, Its
prosperity amazes it's own people,
It's farmers are developing their crops
to such an extent that cotton now
yields only one-fifth of it's farm out.
put, its factories of every kind are
crowded and many are running night
and day to keep somewhere near the
demand for their products, it's oil In.
dustry which Is spreading over q
vast area is pouring forth a never
ending dream of wealth matching in
value the worlds gold output.
Prosperity, rampant prosperity,
is now beginning to make itself felt
from Virginia to Texas, and a region
which was once poor and unable to
buy much is now one. OF the worlds
greatest markets for everything
from diamonds to cook stoves, from
automobiles and motor trucks to
locomotives, from plows to costly
works OF art.
This section, long recognized "as
the greatest undeveloped asset OF
America" is now rapidly becoming
the great developed asset. Itfur-
nishes 80 per cent of the country's
sulphur, without which we could not
have made war. Itgrows two-thirds
OF the worlds cotton, without which
mankind would go unclothed and
without which we could not have
entered the war. 1t is one of the
worlds greatest sources OF OIL, now
fast supplanting coal on the sea and
on the land. It is land rich In
mineral and agricultural potentiali-
ties unknown elsewhere ON the earth.
All Americans may well therefore
look to this marvellous store OF lat
ent and now OF rapidly developing
wealth as the greatest power in
carrying forward our country 3
mighty march OF progress.
Every business man In this coun-
try should study the South from the
viewpoint OF his individual interest
In the nations progress. for upon
the South's resources must be built
the nations business structure.

The final program has been ar
ranged and published. The stage
is set. Never in the -3S sessions
of the Fair that have passed have
indications been more promising.
A list of celebrities have been
placed upon the program that
give promise of exceptional en-.
tertainment. Senator Pat Harii.

United States he will be on hand.
He Is very much in the United
States at present and in spite OF
his pressing work at Washington
in the interest OF the Presiden.

will be on hand with his red neck
tie and dynamic eloquence. Col
r. III. Henry will bring message
that will cover the Democratic

DR.. D. O. Hull the newly selected
president of that institution will
bring messages that will be non
political and enlightening.
And The Fair Ground is under
going a happy transformation.
Paint and white.wash are reiu-
venating weatherbeaten cottages
and selling booths. Gus Howell
has had q foundation built for
the installation of q Delco Light
ing plant. The grounds are being
wired, and miles from the rail
road an electrically lighted white
city will add cheer to the nights
of oratory and sparkling. And
there will be sparkling, too. There
always has been. Ii would not be
much OF a Fair without it, be
cause the younger ones are not
interested in oratory and pigs.
The crop outlook is at present
very encouraging. The back bone

Of Interest to Women

Spanish women do not like to in
vite stranger to their houses,
Most of them smoke cigarets while
eating, and are inclined to resent
any word of criticism.
Wealthy st. Louis women have
pledged themselves to subscribe
$4,000 toward the building OF a
downtown hotel for wage-earning
women of their city.
The first woman ever to hold a
position in the city waterworks de-
partment of Columbus, Ohio, is
Miss Lillian Hoffman, who has
been appointed reQuisition clerk OF
the department.
The most quibbling stickler on
income is not likely to eclipse the
low record in income tax payments
made by a silk mill girl at Altoona
Pa, who after careful computation
decided she owed Uncle Sam one
| cent and made payment OF that
amount to the tax collector.
The council of women of Toron-
to is agitating for the appointment
of a woman police judge to deal
with the cases of women and girls.
A half million dollar fund is be-
ing raised in St. Louis to finance
two hotels for the accommodation

trict known as 'the silk stocking
district" Miss Delafield played an
important part in the election Of
MIR. La Guardia last fall.
She arranged and directed a ser.
les of street meetings at which she
herself often spoke. A capital
speaker. she presented issues, no,
mere rhetoric. to her audiences
Miss Delafield believed that her
part in the auto campaign was the
more important, if less conspicu.
Gus, in getting votes. When the
speaking auto, freighted with two
or three women orators and the
candidate. stopped, Miss Delaheld
slipped down into the crowd and
distributed literature, answered
questions, and on election day, as
Republican captain in a doubtful
election district, she sacrificed
luncheon, though she had begun
her task at dawn, rather than risk
, a possible Democratic gain of even
half a dozen.
1t is little wonder then that Pres
ident La Guardia is said to he IN
possession of a secretary, who
knows her trade" -.

Lady Frances Evelyn Warwick.
the countess OF Warwick, who is
now running on the labor party
ticket in Walthamstow for election
as the second woman member of
the commons, If elected will carry
to the lower house strong antip-
athy against the title system. AL
though the countess is benefic-
larry of the system she deplores the
fact that it exists.
The countess has very advanced
ideas and will undoubtedly intro
duce very progressive legislation il
she is elected. She is very much
opposed to the holding of vast es-
tates by the titled few. 1t is such
novel idea for one of the nobility
to hold that it will be interesting to
see Just what action the countess
will take if she is elected.
While other young women of her
social standing were spending their
days in strenuous observance Of a
dcbutante's obligations, Miss Char
lotte Delafeld. daughter of Lewis
L. Delafeld, New York, enrolled in
the ranks of the City Suffrage
Party and gave herself to the me-
chanics Of winning the vote for
women.
She went into assembly district
work as a captain, then as leader,
became thoroughly conversant with
the type of people represented in
her baliwick, and worked out her
methods of approach so we'll that,
as the veteran of one referendum
campaign, she became during the
campaign of 1917 one of the best
known assembly district leaders
under the suffrage banner.
Only recently she has been ap-
pointed executive secretary to
President La Guardia of the board
of aldermen because of her remark
able training in politics and civics.
F, She Is one of two women to hold
such a position in the city admins
tration. After the New York wom-
| ell got the vote Miss Delafeld en-
rolled in the Republican party. She
did not relinquish her work for the
suffrage party, however, but
through that organization under
took the task of teaching women
citizenship. AS leader of the dis

cussing the advisability of remain

Dress Reform.

A standardized dress, in the opin-
ion of Miss Helen Louise johnson,
editor of the General Federation
Magazine, solves the clothing prob
lem for the modern women. who
now that she is a citizen, cannot af-
ford to spend time chasing the
fashions. The statement was made
by Miss Johnson in a recent lecture
before women students of Columbia
University. She added: IF wom-
en- wear standardized gowns people
who meet them in the street will
look at their faces and not their
frocks."
