Still Muddying
the Waters.

The summary dismissal of two
members of the faculty of the A. &
M. College by the Board of Trustees
Wednesday has only added to the
complex problem of bringing order
out Of chaos at this splendid state in
stitution.
If the News understands the situa-
ton correctly, the only charges against
Prof. Herrick and DR.. Robert consist
ed of the evidence which they gave
to the trustees when certain charges
against President Hardy were being
investigated.
At least one member of the board
of trustees, Hon. James w. Norment,
of Starkville, possesses courage
enough to defy the majority and state
the facts in the case. He says that
Prof. Herrick and DIR. Robert testified
to no more than did several other
members of the faculty whom the trus-
tese have decided to retain, and that
the testimony which they gave was
amply corroborated by other compet-
ent witnesses.
1t is conceded by an overwhelming
majority of the members of the board
that Herrick and Robert have both
performed their duties with signal
ability, and that their places will be
hard to fill. 1t is further shown in the
statement given out by Trustee Nor
ment that President Hardy called one
of the decapitated men into confer
ence a few days ago and assured him
that the matter would be dropped.
Be this as it may, there is no deny
ing the fact that things are going from
bad to worse at the college, and that
the real facts In the controversy are
being. concealed from the public by
the board of trustees and Governor
Noel, who have refused to allow the
alumni of the institution to review the
testimony adduced in the investiga
ton and publish it for the benefit o
those interested in the school.

Few literary men of this age have
rendered greater service to their coun-
try and to humanity than the Russian
author whose S0th birthday has been
celebrated. Russia has been, and to
some extent is still an unknown coun-

broke out and the doctrine of liberty,
equality and fraternity swept over Eu-
rope and caused the remains of feudal-
ism to disappear, the Gear of Russia
