THE BAssErr AFFAIR ONCE MORE.

THE BASSEII AtFA1R ONCE MORE.
We had expected to write in this number our
own opinion of the action of the Trinity College
trustees in regard to the Bassett controversy,
Init we suppose that it is well enough that other
matters first claimed our attention. Trinity Col
Iege is a church college, controlled by a great
reTgious denomination. There are no truer or
worthier North Carolinian than those who make
I'D its membership, and we are willing to trust
the conduct of Trinity College to them and the
Trustees whom they select. And In lieu of any
utterance of our own, we commend to our readers
the following editorial from the Stanly Enter
prise as about the fairest and bst poised express
sion on the subject that has yet come to our no.
tce:
"Opinion is much divided as to the wisdom of
the trustees of Trinity College in refusing to &C
cept the resignation of Doctor Bassett as a con-
sequence of the criticisms drawn forth by his re-
cent utterances in which Booker Washington was
much praised. The trustees have at least set
forth their reasons in a strong set of resolutions,
which we publish in another column, and the flu
ture alone will alone will reveal the wisdom or
folly of their act.
Those who are fair-minded enough to review
the utterances of Doctor Bassett in the light of
fter-explanations will be willing to concede that
he had in mind only to praise Booker Washington
as a leader of his own race, and the comparison
Of Washington with great men of other races was
only in a relative sense. He has never taught So
cal equality; he does not believe in it, nor has he
in any former u~tterances laid himself open to
criticism. He was, in this instance, most unfor-
tunate in his choice of terms his views were pure
" his own and bore not the endorsement of any
one connected with the college. 1t is an open
question as to whether this man, who is a good
teacher, with a large field of usefulness before
him and a long list of good services at his back,
should now be crowded from a State institution
where his abilities as an instructor have been so
ably demonstrated, on account of utterances which
made possible the reading-into them a meaning
alien to the authors mind. With the ear-marks
OF disapproval given to his utterances by the
Board of Trustees, it should be a sufficient guar
anty to the patrons of the school that they have
nothing to fear from placing their boys in
Trinity.
There is a class of critics that would continue
to howl, let the trustees have taken whatever
course they might. They have been lambasting
the institution and all pertaining thereto for
years, and will continue. Their rantings are to
be heard, not needed.
While thinking with the minority of the trus-
Tees that Doctor Bassett's resignation should
nave been accepted, we are constrained to believe
that the college will surmount this difficulty as it
mas others in the past and that her future at
anments will suffer no handicap as a conse-
Quence thereof"

ing and the magazines are so sympathetic
that novels by the hundreds each year
are paraded as of the best, as the greatest
selling books of this country, and much
praise is bestowed that supplemented
confiding people are easily bamboozled
and reading their purchases they accept
as correct the descriptive terms applied In
the notices and advertisements as pa

full" brilliant wit, exquisite humor'-
the phrases used an hundred years ago, or
more, according to Macaulay, and found to
be so unctuous and useful and gainful in
these dull piping times Of peace.

less of the literary trash so it is asserted
In fact 1908 is stated by Northern ed-
tor of the literary department of wide

merit, to be "a bad year for novelists,''
as well as for publishers. This statement
comes from the latter The books are
