FOR GODS SAKE LET Us NOT HAVE
THE MINDS OF OUR SONS
O

Wadesboro Messenger and Intelllgencer.
The faculty of Trinity College, IN their
communication, sustaining DR.. Ba@sett, tc
the board Of trustees Of the college, and
the board in refusing to accept DR.. Bas-
sett's resignation, indulge in a lot Of
platitudes about truth. tolerance and
freedom of opinion. These worthy gem
tlemen seem not to appreciate the sltua-
ton. It is a matter of Indifference to the
people of North Carolina that DR.. Bias.
sett, in his individual capacity, thinks
that Booker Washington is the creates
man, save Lee, born in the South IN a
hundred years, or that he believes IN
social equality, and suggests to the ne
groes that the way they are to achieve it
is by bloodshed, but what they object
to is having their sons taught such per
nicious rot. Let Bassett believe anything
he pleases, but for Gods sake let Us not
have the minds of our sons poisoned
against the most sacred beliefs OF their
fathers.

MOST REGRETTABLE INCIDENT.
Norfolk V~irginian-Pilot.

That is not a pleasant incident tina.
was reported from Trinity College IL
Yesterdays Observation-Disclosures burning
in effigy by G large body of students OF
Mr.. JOsephus Daniels, editor of the Raj
eigh News and Observer. Mr.. Daniels
is the editor and owner of one of the
leading newspapers of the South, a man
of blameless life far and away above
the average that obtains even among
men of parts, has held high public Of
fee, is now Democratic national COM
mitteeman from his State. and has per-
haps done his State as much disinter-
ested service as any man OF his Yeas
who dwells within its borders. He is,
and the courage of them. Hence this
Bassett episode.
The incident viii of course, do Mr.
Daniels no harm. But it will DO Trim
ity College harm, the extent of which
is yet to be determined.
1t is distinctly painful to know that
this sort of thing has occurred. that It
could occur, in a Southern college. It
will not do to say that it was the work
of thoughtless young men carried away
by indignation at what they considered
an Injustice lone to a professor and &
friend. Young men in college, especially
in a Southern college, are not thought
less. They are not school boys but
young men in fact, and their acts must
be viewed as the acts of young men.
And so we are constrained 70 regard
| this episode as a much more serious
matter thar the Bassett publication. That
publication was the mere expression Of
an Individual opinion. This other episode
is an indication of college atmosphere
and an index of college spirit. We think
it can hardly be commended that 1t is an
indication of a thoroughly wholesome at
| mosphere or of that liberal spirit that
sbo,11d obtain at a seat of learning.
AS we had occasion to say before, the
critics of Dr.. Bassett have the same
right to freedom Of opinion and OF speech
as DR.. Bassett himself. And yet we here
find a distinguished citizen and pubhcist
burned in effigy in the name OF freedom
of speech and opinion for exercising tree
dom of speech and opinion. Surely the
spectacle is not edifying. The point OF

There was a more recent event at

BEGINNING OF THE END OF TRINITY
COLLEGE,.

HoiooUOlo Argus.
At the time of the pronunciamento OF
Prot. Bassett, of Trinity College, on
Booker Washington, the Argus expressed
itself fully on the odious utterance Of
Bassett, and then let let it pass into
oblivion, SO far as this paper IS concerned.
1t becomes necessary now however, to
refer to the matter again, in chrCn-
icing the vote OF the trustees of Trinity
College, yesterday, upon the protfered
resignation of Bassett from the faculty.
OF course it was generally expected, when
the trustees should meet, that they
Would-not accept Bassett's resignation,
but eXpel him. The surprise of the pub
lie, therefore, IS the greater that Bias
sett, by a two-thirds vote of the trustees,
Is to remain on the faculty.
Well, the Argus is not running Trinity
College, but We believe we know the met
tie OF the people of North Carolina, and
We venture the prophesy that the begin
ming of the end of Trinity College is 1T
hand.
The students of Trinity, now there,
having become accllmated to the pecu-
liar atmospheric conditions that prevail
within its Dukedom, may remain for the
term-and even hang editors in etfigy :
but if they ever come out into the pure
Anglo-Saxon air of the State at large
again-as they doubtless will at vacation
time, they Will realize what it is to be "a
student of Trinity College," few Of them,
we opine, will nave the hardihood to
take pride in its tutelage, and none, to
return to that institution after they shall
have sounded the peoples anlmadversIOn
and abiding odium. Hence we venture
the prediction that the halls of Trinity
College and the campus, with it's effigy
incident Of yesterday morning, Will be
deserted, and all the wealth of Duke
and the advanced thought of Bassett
cannot people it with Anglo-Saxon Or
Southern stock.
We suggest that the trustees tender
the college to Booker Washington an ar
annex" to T~uskegee.

Burning the editor of the Raleigh News

may be very funny for the boys, but i
may not prove so funny for the college.
DR.. Bassett's resignation was not ac-
cepted because it was c~Ontended that this
was a country Of free speech, and thougli
the student body burned the effigy OF free
speech, it was the only thing that saved
Bassett. So far as i~Eiuring Mr.. Daniels
