Sour Grapes.

The fox in the fable, who desired :
cluster of luscious grapes. and pro
nounced them sour only after he hao
found that they were beyond his reach
is constantly reproducing himself in
the histories of foxes and men. Judge
Emerson is the latest member of the
vulpine family to trot of with a wry
face. examining in acid tones, ..they
are very sour and totally unfit to eat. =
Yet am inclined to believe that had
Judge Emerson succeeded in hauling
down the bunch he would even now be
smacking his lips and exclaiming,
..These are most delicious grapesr
Now the facts as to the location of the
school of the st. Louis Conference are
these:
/. Under the ruling of Bishop Hen
dirk the Conference was held in its
voting to the selection of only one
point as location for our Conference
School. Having selected that school
the whole moral support and financial
backing of the Conference will be
thrown to the school, and the Confer
ence adopted no resolution that limited
that obligation. The Conference did
adopt a resolution guarding the church
from being involved in any expense in
any expense In building and equipping
the school, and the citizens of Fred
ericktown were quite willing to this,
as they have along proposed to DO this
work themselves.
9. As to the character of the school
and its relation to other schools I will
say that it will be what its promoters
are able to make Of it, whether that be
institute. college, or university. A
college cannot be made by applying a
name to building, but should this
school find demand for College work
and receive the endowment needed to
equip a college, there is nothing in the
way of its becoming one.
If Judge Emerson was unwilling was
unwilling to allow the subscribers at
Irouton to be imposed upon by accept
ing a proposition after the Conference
had adopted resolution clearing it.
self of any obligation for it until com
puted, why did he urge on the Confer
ence-the acceptance of one of the Of
fers of Arcadia, ard allow the matter
to come to a vote by the Conference?
Why did he not Withdraw the prop
osition of Arcadia and say .'we do not
want the school on those terms?"
Honor bright now. Judge; did not

this article, which is done solely in the
interests of truth, fairness and justice.
There was fair competition before the
Conference for our Conference school.
The conditions were we'll understood.
Arcadia did nobly to secure it. The
offer of Fredericktown was preferred.
and no effort should now be made by
her late competitors to minify or mis-
represent the victory.
Fredericktown will build the school.

and it will be success. And no doubt
