President Peirce commends Banners
Report Of His Lecture

Ii the editor Of the Republican had
himself attended the recent lecture
of President William Foster Peirce of
Kenyon college at the Mt. Vernon
public library and absorbed the many
good and forceful things that the
able lecturer said, instead of relying
upon hearsay statements from a
source of doubtful qualification to
differentlate and interpret, he would
probably not continue the pursuit of
the subject, as he did in last Satur-
days issue of his esteemed journal,
and cast innuendoes aimed at the
veracity of the report of the lecture
as given in the Banner. Nobody is
better able than the brilliant presl-
dent of Kenyon college himself to
judge of the accuracy of the Banners S
report of his lecture in this city, and
for the one purpose of forever settling
the question, il there can be ques-
ton, of the accuracy and fairness of
the Banners report, the following ex-
tract out of a personal letter from
President Peirce on March 18, few
days after the delivery of the lecture,
to the writer of the report, is pre-
scented:
"Thank you for sending me
copies Of Thursdays Banner con-
tanning the account Of my lecture
at the library. It was fine piece
of work and heartily congratu-
late you upon its excellent Eng
lish and clear and accurate state
ment OF the points | tried to
make. Really, ! could not have
written better abstract myself
and | much enjoyed reading It."
Does the above from President
Peirce sound as IL he felt that the
Banner had not accurately quoted
him, as charged by the Republican a
week ago and chewed over again ad
nauseum last Saturday?
Why, we are willing to submit the
question to the esteemed editor OF
the esteemed Republican, despite his
manifest prejudice and apparent jeal
ousy in the matter.

Freedom
Given SGIbGFt At Direction
Of Judge Blair

Following a long distance telephone
conversation with Judge Black of Co
lumbus Saturday afternoon, Common
Pleas Judge p. b. Blair directed local
police authorlties to release from
custody Edward Selbert who was ar.
rested at the request of Columbus
police headquarters on non-support
charge.
Selbert protested his innocence all
along of fleeing from Columbus in or
der to avoid supporting his minor
child This statement was borne out
by the fact that he came to Mt. Yer
non only week ago and Immediately
secured work. He had not been paid
however, and accordingly could not
be expected to send any money to Co.
lumbus.
Following Selber's arrest, Chief OF
Police Parker telephoned Columbus
officials that he was in custody, and
they ordered that he be held until a
Columbus officer should arrive here
Selbert, however, told his story to
Judge Blair and the result was the
conversation with Judge Black and
the release of the man.

oBERLlN BUSINESS COLLEGE
BANQUET.
SCHOOL CLOSES TERM WITH A
VERY PLEASANT EVENING

The students and teachers of the
Oberlin Business college were given a
banquet last Friday night at Hobbs
hall by the faculty of the school as a
fitting close to this terms work. The
reception was held at $50 and the
banquet at Z o'clock
After the banquet was served, a
male quartet from the school sang
two selections, toasts were responded
to by President Henderson, Mayor j.
ID. Yocom, and others, after which the
entire gathering spent the rest of the
evening at the Apollo theatre. The
Oberlin Concert orchestra furnished
music for the evening.
This is another feature of the
school life at the Oberlin Business
college which makes the work there
so congenial and profitable.
The spring term opens April 8, 1916.

pie of visiting office holders. 1t an
nounced that Everett Spurlock and
John Mckinney, inspectors under the
state liquor license commission, were
in the city working in the interest of
Harry M. Daugherty for United States
senator among the people of their race,
Mckinney was a Columbus bar tender
when named by Governor Willis, and
Spurlock was put on the roll because
| he rounded up an insult put upon the
colored Republicans by the state fire
marshal 1t is interesting to note that
the state is paying them 81 500 year
and travelling expenses to go about
