THE KEYHOLE SPEECH.

The Dispatch dislikes to dignity
with a public notice such a trivial
charge as that which has been
the keyhole speech, - but, like every
thing else which he has done, it has
been distorted, misrepresented and
twisted TO serve so many ends that
we feel some notice of it is necessary.
When was this speech delivered? +?
Just fifteen years ago, but this shows
that time is not considered when a
mans enemies seek his undoing.
Where was it delivered? Not IL the
a. & NJ College, but at Jackson,
Miss, when he was principal of the
public school system of that city.
The pupil was a young boy, not a
man at the A. & NJ, and the object
of the lesson which he impressed
upon him was that he must be obe-
dient, respect authority and try TO
accomplish whatever he was told TO
do. Did the incident impress the
boy, and did it have the desired re-
suit? The boy himself admitted that
it did, that he had a better concep-
ton of obedience than ever before,
and the father of the boy thanked
Mr.. Hardy for the happy manner of
impressing his son with the neces-
sitv of obedience. This was fifteen
years aga, mind you, in public
school. and not in college, and it
was a young boy who was being dealt
with and not a young man Of the
type of the average student Of the
x. & NJ. College. Fifteen years ago,
and yet it is trotted out and made
to do duty in prejudicing the case,
bv distortion, by misrepresentation
against this man, fifteen years after
its occurrence.
And 50 it is with the solar sys-
tenn speech" Mr.. Hardy's reference
to the solar system was that every
school, every institution, every sys-
tenn. had to have a head, and without
it there could be no organization.
system or order. In. this connection
the solar system was referred TO,
and straightway his enemies began
TO misconstrue and to misapply its
meaning. 1t was construed as re-
neeting upon every member of the
faculty by those who We're against
him, etc. etc.
We have referred to these mat
ters because they show the trivial
character of the fight which has been
waged against him. They show that
there is not an incident in his pro-
fessional life, lasting nineteen years,
which would not be lugged into use
If those who have opposed him be-
lieved 1t could be made to do service.

a WORD OF EXPLANATION.


The Dispatch may be pardoned for
devoting so much space to the A.
and NJ College matter this morning.
It's editor, member of the board
of trustees, realizing that the inves-
tigation was incomplete, has refrain
ed from expressing any opinion on
the issue until all of the facts in the
case could be developed. Then. too,
he respected the wishes of the board.
that in so important a matter conelu-
sion could not be reached until the
case was heard in full.
After hearing the full investiga-
ton. and believing the. case against
Mr.. Hardy was unjustifed BY the
facts presented. and believing that a
great injustice has been done him
in the matter in prejndicing his case
By a hostile press, The Dispatch pro-
posed to devote some space TO his
vindfcation in the eyes of the people
The Dispatch believes that Mr.
Hardy acted wisely and well in the
administration of the affairs Of the
institution. We believe that he pur-
sued the right course in dismissing
Capt. Wellborn. out of which the
whole fight on him grew, and believ-
ing this we shall give something of
the other side.
The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1908-07-26

The New Orleans Picayune of last
Wednesday contained not a word
about the government going after
Hardy for the tuberculous cattle in
cident, and yet specials were sent
out from that city on that date to
the effect that it is to be made a Sc
rious matter for the president of
the A. and NJ. These specials were
sent to the Mississippi papers, and
it leads one to believe that some
enemy of Hardy is in the Crescent
City doing this work.

emotion. Big, hardy miners shed
tears with him.
Thomas Gibson, president of the
Montana miners, had come TO the plat,

said the draft was backed by a smaller
amount which would bring the sum

'RATIONALISM A
| MODERN NEED
PREACHER CALLS CHURCH PEG
PIE TO DEAL SANELY WITH
SALOON PROBLEM.
OPPOSES PROHIBITION PHlLOSO.
PLY AS INF RINGEMENT OF
HUMAN RIGHTS.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 22.-At the
afternoon session of the model license
convention. Rev. William ]. WATSON
of Riverhead, l.. l., delivered an adj
dress in which he declared that it is
high time for church people who are
not extremists to take a hand and
settle the liquor question on a ration
al basis. He said he believed this
to be step in the right direction,
and he hoped ministers of the gospel
of all denominations would be wise
enough and foresighted enough to
see the question in the same light.
The church can no longer afford
to have its name exploited in the
manner in which it is being used Dy
the prohib.tionists," said Mr.. WATSON.
The church cannot acquiesce in the
prohibitionist sentiment that man
cannot be good christian and handle
or drink liquor. The church and the
prohibitionists are as far apart as
the poles
Mr., WATSON said the question of
drinking in moderation is one of in
dividual conscience. He declared the
prohibitionists are pur,tanical, and
that the Puritan is "a manufacturer
and wholesale dealer in artificial sin"
"The prohibitiopist believes in the
fetch of law" said Mr.. WATSON. "Tt
there is anything wrong anywhere, all
that is needed, according 10 his be-
lief. is a law against it. Intemper-
ance can never be removed by the
policeman's club or the sheriff's war
rant. 1 am opposed to the whole
prohibition philosophy, because
think it is an outrageous infringe
ment of human rights
"Pious church people have ostra-
cized the saloonkeeper, laid all sins
at his door and have warned people
away from him as from the mouth OF
hell. IL face of all this they come
along with the hypocritical cant that
the atmosphere of the saloon is bad,
What, I ask you, have church people
done to better the conditions of the
saloon?
1.-THE real question before the
American people today Is:
what kind of a saloon shall We
have? Shall we have an open legiti-
mate saloon, or underground dives
and dens?
II believe the church and liquor
trade should stand shoulder to shout
der in this great fight. We need
each other. There must be cooper
alton, without interference with the
liberties and rights of American cit
liens"
Frank r. Ferris, state senator from
Missouri, spoke after Mr.. WATSON.
He said he is not a manufacturer o.
dealer and therefore should properly
come in the category of consumer
He said he is opposed constitutional
~ to prohibition because of its de-
privation of rights. He declared that
prohibition is a sham and the only
way prohibition could ever be put in
to effect. would be by the government
of the United States.
