BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

Durham Recorder.
OF course. the action Of Trinity students
in hanging Editor JosepLus Danlles IN
effigy is condemned on all sides. Many
Will say it is the result Of their training,
and others Will wonder that boys and men
coming from christian homes anG being
taught IN a college that has christian
Education for It's motto, and Free
Speech for its watchword, could forget
themselves SO far as to participate III a
mock lynching. We do not understand
how such things can be, nor do we under
stand the action of the trustees ard lac
ulty. Why should the editor OF the News
and Observer alone be hung, when
scores of other editors have expressed
the same sentiment? Why is it that if
Bassett is attacked by any one the col
lege VIII suffer and yet his influence doe.
no harm? These and numerous things
about the affair are beyond our compre-
tension.

would hear some good news from Granville

COLLEGIATE LAWLESSNESS.

Windsor Ledger.
We have no criticism to make of the
trustees OF Trinity College in retaining
Prot. Bassett in the institution. we
think he IS unfit to teach North Carolina
boys. But with all the facts before them
that body has thought different. The
trustees Of Trinity College are as good
men IS the State has in it. They are
patriotic christian men and have acted
for what they think right. We hope they
have not committed an error. They put
their action on high ground-the free
thought and free speech. No men can
assail that ground of defense, provided
the facts fit. But it is certainly de-
plored that while the trustees Of this
great Christian College were struggling
with this very momentous question, and
while they had decided with great labor
and with great hesitation to retain Prot.
Bassett, certain students Of the college
hung IN efflgy a figure in the name Of
one OF the States foremost citizens. 1t
