That Jesus was not a p~acifist is the
gist Of the following quotation from
an article in the April American Mag
azine entitled "My Silent Partner
which gives a new Interpretation to
the life Of Christ as applied to modern
problems:
"He went down to Jerusalem at. the
very beginning Of his public work, and,
all the way along the road he heard
the complaints of the peasants about
the exactions and oppression Of the
priests. When he finally reacehd the
city his temper was pretty we'll arous-
ed. He strobe into that temple AID
stood like a young giant among that
noisy crowd of trafickers. He saw
the poor come timedly forward and
drive their bitter bargains will. the
priests; his blood boiled. He sto.red
down and picked up some bits Of cord
! that lay at his feet, and while he
watched he half unconsciously braided
them into a whip.
"Then he suddenly strobe forward
into that wrangling crowd of petty
thieves, and began hurting their coun-
tiers to the floor. One after another,
he flung their tables and chairs before
him; he opened cages where the doves
were kept; he turned their oxen loose
upon them. The theieves dropped
back amazed; the crowd, quick t.
sense the situation, flung themselves
eagerly at his back. And SO, his eyes
flashing fire, his little whip rising and
falling across the backs Of the skulk.
: ing crew before him, he drove then
! forward, through the court, unie: the
gates, out intthe city streets. Single.
handed, unknown, without reputation
70 authority, he had attacked the
stronghold Of special privileges, and
won,. TIL etemple had been swept

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up

lives with sweetness. Speak approx
ing, cheering words, while their ears
can hear them, and while their hearts
can be thrilled, and made happier by
them; the kind things you NEAR to
say after they ire dead and gone say
before they go. Rather have a plain
coffin without a flower, a funeral
without eulogy, than a life without
sweetness Of love, sympathy and good
will. Let us learn to anoint our
friends beforehand for their burial.
IPostmortem kindness does not cheer
the troubled spirit; flowers on a coffin

logue here. Both regents said the
minutes Of the board failed TO show
that President HendrIck had furnished
tho regents with recommendations
from the president and faculty OF three
accredited universities.
Regent Abel said he based his
charge that the faculty and DR.. Hepd.

rick did not agree. upon conversations
held by him with fifteen members of
the faculty, some of whom had favored
the president and others had criticised
him. Abel declined to give the names
OF those with whom he had talked. nor
would he give the names OF school
men in the state. who, he said, had
been interviewed BY him with regard
to their opinions as to conditions at
the university. The school men, he
said, had been divided in their views.
Regent Curler said that after his
election he had conducted an investi-
cation by talking with persons who he
believed should be acquainted with
conditions at the university. Later he
came 10 Reno and continued his inves-
legations along the same lines. When
he was satisfied he said he called DR..
Sullivan into consultation and stated
his position. At that time. he said,
he had fully made up his mind to in
drick, the only questions being as to
when and how it should be accom-
plished. He said he suggested to DR..
Sullivan that he preferred it to be ac-
complished without harm either to
President Hendrick or to the univer-
sity and suggested that President
Hendrick could tender his resignation
and it could be accepted without in.
jury to either side.
CUrle- said he considered DR.. Sulli-
van solely responsible for the request
being made for DR.. Hendricks resigna-
ton at the time and in the manner
that it was. At the outset. Curler ex-
planned, he was in favor of continuing
President Hendrick in charge of the
institution till the beginning of the fall
semester of 1917. but he had changed
his opinion after listening to the presi-
dents address TO the new board.
The president, he said, had made
about the financial af-
fairs OF the institution, had told the
board that it took $4,000 to meet the
payroll of the university and that it
developed from partial report of the
controller that the payroll had amount
ed to $4,000 for the two preceding
semesters. DR.. Hendrick had explained
to the board, Curler said, that when
he said payrolls he meant the salaries
OF the members of the faculty. The
president, he went on, told the new
board that il would have $1,000 avail
able for the coming semester, but later
the board discovered that il would
have only $4,000 available and that
out of this amount 10000 would be
required TO meet payment on a 500
900 overdraft.
In speaking of the charge that Dr..
Hendrick had made statements dero-
gatory to residents in Manzanita Hall.
Curler said his information was purely
hearsay.
Judge Curler criticised President
Hendrick for drafting set of bylaws
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1917-01-30

which, he said. made the president of
the university a member of the board
of regents and stripped the members
of the board OF their power to initiate
anything in the meetings of the board
or to discharge anybody but the presi-
dent, but so far as he knew, he said.
President Hendrick had never violated
any of the bylaws. He contended that
the board of regents had no power to
segregate the business and education
al affairs OF the university.
Both Mrs. Baker and Regent Curler
said one thing that had influenced
their action was the reported state
ment that President Hendrick had
made derogatory remarks concerning
students of Manzanita hall. What
those remarks were was not brought
out at the hearing. Mr.. Curler said
he had been told of the remarks by
several personal friends and Mrs. Ba-
ker said she was present at a meet
ing at the university when a delega.

ufy. She knew of only two women
who had heard the reported statement.
Mrs. Baker said this incident had
caused her, in a large measure, to join
with the other two members in asking
for President Hendricks resignation
after she had been led to believe he
had made conflicting statements re-
garding the financial affairs of the

numerous complaints about his admin

dissatisfaction among members Of the
faculty. The majority members of the
board, she said, had asked President
Hendrick to furnish them with re-
port on the financial condition of the
university and he had failed to do It,.

said she did not know whether or not
