Governor Noel was considerably
amused when discussing the subject of
the visit of President Hardy to him on
Saturday and the number of surmises
and coujectures that have been launch
edsince as to the purport of that visit,
and still more amused was he when it
was mentioned that Trustee T. L.
Wainwright, of Stonewall, had been
seen in the city and that he, too, had
been included in the conference.
Saturday." said the Governor, "and
every body who had occasion to call at
the office had no difficulty in both see
ing him and talking with him, but as to
the so-calleo "long-drawn out and se-
cret conference" there was nothing of
the sort. AS to Mr.. Wainwright 1 was
not aware that he was in the city or
had been here until saw casual
mention of the fact in one of the local
papers.
The fact is Mr.. Wainwright reached
the city about 10 o'clock Saturday night
and registered for an early call to take
the train for Yazoo City, and it is quite
certain that he was not in conference
with the Governor during the interim.
Asked as to the Norment-White letter
of a few days ago, the Governor stated
that he wrote Mr.. Norment in reply as
soon as he received his letter, but as he
was not aware that the former letter
had been given to the press he did not
give out in reply. That letter he gave
out today and is as follows:

M. White, Starkville. Miss, Gentle
men:-Your open letter of the 22d in

Hardy in the Commercial-Appeal of the

from you, having misplaced the paper
containing it. do not recall anything
in the nature of defiance of the Board
or that is altogether out of harmony

ent action from that adopted at the

Notwithstanding the storm of hostile
criticism that is being launched at him
from all directions, editOriaIly and
through open letter contributions,
Governor Noel maintains his equanimi-
ty, and has never been heard to ex-
press an unkindly word against any of
those who have INDUCED the penchant
for roasting" and If any of them In
dulge the fancy or thought that they
have "got Noel cornered" there is moth
Ing in the demeanor of the Chief Exec
utive to indicate that he is aware of
such a predicament."
We have been of the opinion that mis-
takes have been made all along the line,
mistakes that can and ought to be cor
tected and have been corrected, but the
greatest of all mistakes made and being
made rae from an element that Is incapa
BILE of making corrections; not In pos
session of the proper spirit, but en-
deavoring to have their way even ii it
should sink the ship and all on board.
This is no time to do things for the
accommodation of peoples feelings. This
is not the first time peoples feelings have
been hurt. 1t makes sometimes great
difference whose feelings are hurt, but
the people of Mississippi understand
the situation of things little better
than some think for and will like ra-
tional people abide their time for full
understanding,
We wish to say, this much that Prof.
Hardy has been vindicated, but the
state can dispense with him and every
man connected with the College and
the students that have been attending
and never be hurt. We wish to impha-
size ihe idea that the College is q state
institution, not built for few men to
run, either for pay, diversion or their
health. In our honest and candid op-
inion Mr.. Hardy will make better and
more efficient president than ever here
to-fore.
Let no man be enticed from loyalty
by any pretenses.
We are not looking for that golden
sun light of perfection in this life, but
can be more glorious than what we
are.

The Politics in it.

Certain papers in the State have tried to
make it itappear that the results of the in
vestigation at the A. and NJ College are
due solely to politics. Some who are
hostile to Vardaman claim that it is his
influence on the board which has resulted
in the exoneration Of President Hardy.
Those who are Noel partisans would
have the public believe that it is fight
upon his administration. As matter of
fact. little ANALYSIS reveal the facts that
the verdict of the board was made up
from appointees on the board of both.
OF the four gentlemen on the board
Who voted to oust the president three
were appointed by Gov. Varbman during
his administration and one of them was
one of Gov. Noel's recent appointees. OF
the ten who voted for the retention of
the president, leaving out the governor
and the State superintendent of ed
ucation who are members of the board
by virture of their offices, leaving eight
gubernatorial appointees, sixVardeman
appointeas voted for the retention of the
president and two Noel appointees voted
the same way
From nhe above figures it IS difficult
to draw any definite conclusion as to
where and why politics influenced the
board in any action. From the per-
oJnnel of the board, The Dispatch be
Iieves that the sole consideration which
was placed above all other considerations
was the good of the school.
Politics and persons were eliminated
from the matter and the trustees voted
their conscientious convictions as to
what was best for the school
