DO NOT Jl'IV.K HASTILY
Dr. Yenable. President of the
University, made an address to
the students at the institution
last Tuesday m which he stated
the position of the faculty m re
gard to hazing in the college.
He said the faculty had acted on
all cases they hail been aware of
and plead for the assistance of
the students m the efforts of the
faculty to suppre-. the practice.
He spoke feelingly of the injury

condemning President X'enahlej
and the faeult v. There i a '
code of honor among the stu
dents, prohibiting all tonus of
hazing and when men are put on
their honor it is not expected
that the faculty need be quite
S) vigilant as if no such code of
laws existed. We think
t le hazers who were the cause
of young Rand's death, deserve
severe punishment and others
who abetted them by their pres

to be punished, but the Presi
dent and faculty should he given
a "square deal" and not con

The Republicans knowing well
the value of The News columns
for reaching the voters, have, as
has been their custom for sever
al campaigns passed, engaged
some space in this paper, for
which they pay regular adver
tising rates. The matter ap
pearing in the space thus con
traded to them will be furnished
by the Campaign Committee
and they will be responsible for
all that is said therein. The
editor while he has his own con
victions and opinions, does not as
.suine to fie in any way respon
sible for the utterances ol the
Campaign Committee, any more
than he does for the statements
of any other advertising patrons.
The value of this kind of cam
paign publicity is being more
and more appreciated and while
The News was one of the first
pajiers in the State to adopt it
and many others are now fol
lowing the same rule. The
statements of the printed page
are much more easily preserved
and considered than the verbal
statements of a speaker, hence,
nure reliable and worthy of be
lief or susceptible of contradic
tion. This makes the newspa
per campaign the more affective.

The modern movement toward
relief and indemnity of working
people seems to be towards the
conditions which existed on the
Southern plantation before the
war. The plantation was es
sentially a community organized
as a little monarchy. If any
body ou the place became sick
or disabled, from the head
master down to the most hum
ble slave, the plantation, or the
"business, " took care of the in
dividual. Whether in sickness
or in old age, infirmity was made
more or less comfortable. All
this was a sort of natural de
velopment. The well people
were willing to work for the
benefit of those who were sick
and infirm. The sick were never
cut off from their usual social in
tercourse because of sickness.
Therefore, the movement of
modern industrial conditions in
matters of indemnity and relief
in case of sickness or old age
is but a returning to the old
plantation conditions. Slavery
has been condemned, and it
ought to have been, but it had
some conditions surrounding it
w hich were better than the con
