UNIVERSITY MISSOURIAN. VOLUME I. COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1908. NUMBER 26 STARTED B! BURGLARS WIPES Buss-Johnston Bank Wrecked by Flames That Destroy Business Section, Causing Loss of $00,000. SAFE IS FOUND CRACKED IN SIG DEPARTMENT STORE Residents Organize Bucket Brigades But Are Unable to Save Town. By Telephone from a Staff Correspond ent. Burglars, in blowing safe in tin. Tiaile Center building in Ashland, fonr iccn mill's south of Columbia in Boone -county, early yesterday started a fire that wiped out the business district of the town, causing a total loss of 60,000. The lobtors got $220 in money and h-cKs from the safe. Among the buildings burned was that of the IIis-.lohnston Banking Co., of which the Rev. Dr. J. T. M. Johnston, a St. Louis Baptist minister, is presi dent and chief owner. The bank has a capital stock of 25,000 and deposits of .J'3.000. At noon today the safe was still too hot to open. Residents Awakened by Explosion. Residents of the town heard an ex plosion at 2 a. m. yesterday and two hours later hunters returning from an outing discovered the fire sweeping the business center. They immediately gave the alarm and the church bell was rung. Nearly all of the ."00 residents of the community left their beds to join in the fire fighting. Bucket brigades were formed and the citizens worked val iantly to check the spread of the flames. The fire, however, had gained headway and the citizens, with no apparatus for fire fighting, found it impossible to save the business section of the town. Only one store was left standing. The fire did not spread to the residences. Holes Drilled in Safe. The Trade Center building, where the flames started, was one of the largest business establishments in the town. The building and the entire stock of the department store it housed were destroyed at a loss of $30,000. Holes had been drilled in the safe and the door blown off by the burglars. On top of the safe they had piled a heap of dry goods, presumably to dead en the sound of the explosion. The fire, igniting the dry goods, spread to the rest of the store. Xo trace has been found of the cracksmen. The town opera house, considered the best in the state for a town of the size of Ashland, was destroyed. The loss is placed at $10,000. The printing office of the Ashland Bugle, a weekly newspaper edited by J. L. Wilcox, was wrecked and all the mailing lists burned. Heavy Property Loss. The Crump and Dunn general mer chandise store building, valued at $17, O00, and the stock, worth $7,000, were burned. Other stores destroyed were those of Dr. D. P. Christian, drugs, $2, ."00: W. E. Crump, grocer: Justice and Hamilton, general merchandise, $3,000; Claypool Brothers, dealers in farm im plements and buggies. The barber shop of .Teir Turner was gutted by the flames. All of the burned buildings were in sured except the Justice and Hamilton store and a vacant store room owned by Eli Renter. Plans Already Made to Rebuild. A meeting of the business men of the town was held this morning and steps taken to rebuild. '"We intend to put Ashland back on the map," said J. L. Wilcox, editor of the Bugle, to a reporter for the Uni ersitv Missourian Battleship Completes World Tour. By United Press. PORTSMOUTH, Va., Oct. 10 The battleship Maine, successor to the 111 faled vessel which was lost in Havana harbor, docked here this morning. It was one of the naval fleet which made the tour of the world, and is the first to complete the trip. Kansas defeated Oklahoma, 11 to 0. in a spectacular game at Lawrence, Kan. Neither team scored in the first half. srf $m$, j J&C' Hfi ASHLANDOFFMAP "WABASH REALIZES H General Manager Miller Says So in Letter to University Missourian. LIKES COMMITTEE-WORK BEST Railroad Can Be Depended On to Make Changes, He Promises. Henry Miller, .vice-president and gen eral manager of the Wabash railroad, says in a letter to the University Mis sourian that the "company is very much interested in any improvements that will benefit Columbia in any way, and may always be depended upon to do its full share in this respect." Mr. Miller's letter was written in re sponse to letters from the University Missourian offering him the courtesy of its columns in case he had any defense to make of the Wabash service on the Columbia branch. Soon after public complaint was made of the failure of the railroad to put in crossings in Machir place, and of its unsanitary station here, the University Missourian wrote to olTer Mr. Miller an opportunity to reply. He did not do so, and Oct 15 this letter was sent to him: Letter to Mr. Miller. The University Missourian wishes again to extend to you the privilege of its columns in case you have any reply to make to the complaints generally voiced here against the Wabash service on its Columbia branch. The Missouri, Kansas Texas railroad, as probably you know, has just completed the deal for a site for a new station, and will begin work within ten days. The state of publie opinion will readily be apparent to you. If you have anything to say, it will be printed without alteration in the Missou rian. In case no reply is received to this before Monday, Oct. 11), the University Missourian will feel at liberty to make public your refusal to grant an interview. Trusting this arrangement is satisfactory, etc. Mr. Miller's Letter. Mr. Miller's reply to this is dated Oct. 1(5, and is as follows: Your letters about articles in the University Missourian duly receiv ed. The management is not unmind ful of the needs of Columbia from a railroad standpoint, and sometime ago established the custom of meet ing committees of the Business Men's League and talking over matters of mutual interest. Many conferences have been held, and my impression is that a satisfactory conclusion has always been reached in matters thus considered. This company is very much in terested in any improvements that will benefit Columbia in any way, and may always be depended upon to do its full share in this respect, whether it be in the establishment of industries or otherwise. I thank you for your letters. Respectfully, HENRY MILLER. V. P. C. M. IOWA'S RECIPROCAL SPIRIT Fullback Hazard Has New Scheme for "Pulling Together." Charley Hazard, who played fullback for Iowa in the Saturday game, stood at Booch's corner Saturday evening, and watched the '"shirt-tail" parade, and the bonfire afterwards. Turning to a reporter for the University Mis sourian, he said: 'Say, you fellows have got the spirit down here, and you'll have easy pick ings, with Kansas, on Thanksgiving. We'll attend to that, for we play them a week before you do, and if you fel lows attend to Drake for us, we'll see what we can do for Kansas." Scientific Grading Discussed. At the meeting of the Scientific As sociation Saturday evening, Prof. II. J. Davenport, formerly of the University of Chicago, led a discussion of scientific grading in universities. Prof. Daven port originated the system now in use in the University of Chicago. The new system in use in the University of Mis souri has attracted widespread atten tion. Both figured in the discussion.

"EASY" ANDERSON IS GALLANT Big Football Man Stands Guard in Front of Gold Letters. The "co-eds" have the final word. It's on the baseball backstop on Rol lins Field in the plain view of all who attend the football games. The green numerals of the Engineers are covered with black paint and in their place glitters in gold letters the legend, "Co eds. '12." Seven Freshman girls did the Mint ing and all the men in the University agree it is the tost job ever done on the backstop. It is prettier even than the sign painted by the girls in the dark o' of night last week and later erased bv the Engineers. Some Mere Men Help. This time the Engineers proved more gallant and some of them helped the girls block in the letters with chalk, while others stood guard. The names of the girls were given as: Georgia Watson, Norma Munro, Sallie Simnis, Valentine Henderson, Susie Mathlock, Miss Rutlidge. A crowd of men with cameras gath ered while the work was in progress, but the girls painted serenely on and no jibe could make them stop. A pis tol was fired but they did not turn. A Freshman Engineer conferred with them. "We agree to leave what you paint if you will let us paint the shamrock near that sign," he coaxed. This Engineer is Persuasive. "Did you ever paint 'Co-eds' near the shamrock?" one of the girls countered. "Now, don't you honestly think it would be fair to let that little Engi neers' emblem go up J" "You deserve nothing," said the girl. "We wouldn't be doing this if vou hadn't treated the girls so badly the other night. We are hen now doing it in broad daylight because we don't want anyone to think we are ashamed of it." "Well," threatened the Freshman En gineer, "if not peacefully They Wouldn't Be Bluffed. "You can't blurt us." said the fair painter. "The upper-class Engineers have promised to let this sign stay here unmolested today." Some of the Engineers showed the girls how to improve the sign. Then the dauntless seven camped till time for the game in front of the flaming yel low letters to guard them from the Freshman Engineers. A Sophomore Engineer and '"Easy" Anderson relieved their vigil and prom ised to hold the sign against all corn els. IOWA MASCOT DECLINES TO BE INTERVIEWED Cub Bear and Trainer Both Gruff After Defeat. "Do you suppose." a girl reporter for the University Missourian asked the Iowa trainer, '"that I could interview the bear?" "You can have the bear." said the irate trainer, pushing the last blanketed warrior into the bus. When asked what he considered the cause of defeat he said: '"Kirk's condi tionand then the men got overheated. It's much warmer here than in Iowa." Bureh, the cub bear mascot, refused to discuss the game, but when a cer tain Missouri cur was mentioned his growl intimated that if he had lcen at liberty the greatest struggle for su premacy would not have toen between the Hawkeyes and the Tigers. HERE'S HOPE AT LAST FOR COAL DEALERS; COLD WEATHER NEAR Official Forecast is for Showers Tonight and End of Sultry Spell Soon. Here's hope for the coal dealers at last. According to the latest straw ballot. Winter will make gains in Sum mer's territory. The forecast: '"Showers tonight. Possibly showers tomorrow and colder."

OUTWEIGHED, TIGERS DEFEAT IOWA BY lO TO 5 IN HARDFOUGHT GAME; BLUCK AND ALEXANDER SCORE "FIGHTING SPIRIT, "SAYS MONILA W; I "OFF DAY," EXPLAINS IOWA COACH Coach Monilaw said: "I am tickled to death over tlu Tigers' victory. I attribute it to the fact that the Tigers had a superior method of de- feuse to that Used by the Iowa team, and a better fighting spirit. Not a man who played in the game failed to do a he was told to do before he went in. In regard to the contention that Missouri scored on a lluke, it is an undeniable fact that Iowa scored on a lluke, as she got the ball on a fumble on Missouri's fifteen-yard line, and made her touchdown on the next two plays." a Coach Catlin said: "There is no excuse for Iowa's losing the game. Ordinarily Iowa has a better team than Missouri, but this seems to be an oir week for the Hawkeyes. Capt. Kirk and Collins have been out of the hospital only two days and this is the first time in a week they have had on uniforms. Had Missouri not scored on a lluke Iowa would have won. None of Iowa's players is in bad condition as a result of the game. In fact none of them played hard enough to get hurt." CO-ED THUS IOWA Blond Hawkeyes Especially Good Looking in Them, Girl Reporter Says. SHE ADMIRES BLUCK'S PLAYING Every Tigera Hero, Victory Well Won, in Opinion. Her By a "Co-ed" in the Department of Journalism. The Hawkeyes burst into the field triumphantly, their yellow blankets Hashing in the sun. They certainly had the ragged Tigers beaten when it came to clothes and the yellow jerseys were especially becoming to the blonds. A cross-looking little bear followed in their wake. They were giants, those husky Iowans. The Tigers swarmed out into Rollins Field. The band played and every man bought peanuts for his girl. The coaches squabbled and Missouri got the best side. How Bluck Plays. Not much happened for awhile but it was .soon apparent the "old Mizzou" was "holding that line." Bluck would gen tly but firmly snatch a man by the neck from behind, plant him on the ground, and sit on him. "Tubby" Gracs would grab a man by the heels and tip him over on his nose. Poor little Deatherage they could almost wave around their heads, but '"Death" played a gritty game. Missouri was not much good at the forward pass for the same reason that the Tigers lose the basket ball games. They can't catch. "Alec's" Run. When the first half was almost over "Alec" got the ball and broke through the line. '"Gilly" was close behind and the enemy pursued at his heels, "Alee" went like a streak across tin- field. When Gilly thought Iowa had followed far enough he knelt and bumped the enemy. Alexander scored and the bleachers went wild. So did I. Big Dan Nee's jaw was paralyzed but the yell they gave for him continued until he was tucked between clean sheets in the hospital and couldn't hear it. Then Ristine got '"knocked out" and they bound his sore ankle right there before everyone. Those Horrid Sponges. The water boy was in great demand but the men sucked the water out of sponges and the coach wouldn't let them swallow a single drop of water. When the whistle blew the score was 10 to 5. The Iowa giants went blubber ing off the field and the band played a '"Hot Time" in reversed coats and hats. It was a great game. Bully for the Tigers, who won fairly! They're all heroes. Songs at Mass Meeting. Students who attended the mass meeting Friday evening in the audito rium of the University of Missouri worked their courage up for the game Saturday by singing. They were a lit tle "blue" over the prospect, but ft. It better after '"Old Missouri' ind their other favorites had been sung. '"Easy" Anderson, "Ozark" Wright, "Arkansas" Hunt, "Bottles" Burruss and F. C. Howell made speeches. JERSEYS BECOMING IN "SHIRT TAILS" 1100 CELEBRATE Parade on Broadway Ends in Burning Iowa's Coffin on Funeral Pvre. CUB BEAR LYNCHED BY CROWD It Was, However, anEffigy Rejoicing Continues, Until Midnight, gl "Did you hear It" '"Yes, what was it 5" "Oh. that was the last dying wail of the poor cub bear which came down to Missouri to see what he could see, and which was shown. He saw things lie never expected to see and never saw before, and he kept seeing things until his woolly tody was strung up over Broadway." This indignity to Iowa's mascot in effigy was the climax to the biggest and most spectacular "shirt-tail parade" the University of Missouri has seen in many a day. One thousand strong, students in negligee paraded the streets, wild with joy, headed by a band in similar attire, behind which marched four gleeful pallbearers, with a coffin labeled "IOWA" on their shoulders. Chrisman Organizes Parade. The parade formed on the University Quadrangle under the direction of 0. D. Chrisman, official yell leader, inarched past President A. Ross Hill's house, then to Read Hall, a girls' dormitory, and north on Hitt street to the home of "Curly" Ristine, Missouri's crack cen ter, who was hurt in the game. Dr. Hill happened not to be at home when the parade passed the president's house. The band played "Old Missouri," "Dixie" and "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" during the march to Stephens College. The girls there gave the celebrators an ovation, and W. B. Peeler, president of the col lege, addressed the crowd. After nine lusty "'rahs" for the college, the band played "Goodnight, Ladies," and the pa rade began "the zig-zag" march west on Broadwav a weaving from side to side of the wide street, designated in other davs "the snake dance." Red Glare Over Scene. Roman candles and red flambeaux' threw a crimson glare along the street, while the sheeted figures wound back and forth, vocal with joy. At Eighth street the band struck up a funeral dirge, and at slow time the crowd marched to the AthensAlIotel, where the defeated Iowans were quar tered. The pallbearers halted directly in front of the hotel, and the crowd waited patiently until the funeral dirge was completed. Returning to Broadway and Hitt street, the celebrators built a huge bon fire, lighted it and danced atout it like wraiths. The coffin was placed upon the tonfire, and yells and shrieks went up in deafening volume while the fun eral pyre raged. Then thecjewd broke up, and amused itself by "(lemaiKing "hand-outs" from various places of amusement and shops. None was denied. The rejoicing continued until mid night. The bear was taken down from it hanging place, last night at 9:30 o'clock by Stanley M. Spindle, of 300 Waugh street. Fine Team Work, Fighting Spirit and Some Brilliant Individual Playing Wrest Victory From Hawkeyes. ANGLE PLAY, RESERVED FOR THIS GAME, IS FRUITLESS All Scoring in First Half; Second Becomes Punting Contest. Missouri fighting spirit won. 'Rah for the Tigers' Outweighed live pounds to the man, with three star players out of the line as the result of a contract signed two years ago, the Tigers played the Iowa University team off its feet in the first half of Saturday's game on Rollins Field and won by a score of 10 to 5. The team fought as a unit and to it as a whole credit for the victory is due. But two factors were prominent to the 4,000 spectators gathered at the hardest-fought football battle ever waged on Rollins Field. These were the strong right foot of "Puny" Bluck who proved that nicknames go by op posites and the splendid run of Alex ander, the artful dodger of the team, sixty-five yards down the field for a touchdown. BLUCK'S FIELD GOAL KICK SENDS THE BLEACHERS WILD The crowd went wild when Bluck rent (the ball squarejy between the goal posts on a place kick from Iowa's forty-yard line. That made the score i to 4 in favor of the Hawkeyes, who had pushed Gross over for a touch down after a fumble by Missouri. But the demonstration was mild com pared to that when Alexander broke through the visitors' line, blocked a drop kick, got the ball and darted down the field, with Nee to-hind him warding off tiie Iowa players who pursued. Then indeed did the bleachers, keyed up by the place kick of the mighty Bluck, exhaust its lungs in cheering. Everybody was on his feet or her feet and the volume of the sound swept back and forth across the field, pro longed and deafening until voices gave out. The players hugged one another and danced for joy, ami big "Easy" Ander son, on the sidelines by virtue of the ruling that kept him out of the game, went into a very ecstasy of delight. MASCOT, CUB BEAR, DEJECTED WHEN MISSOURI SCORES Just a few minutes tofore that the Iowa substitutes, sitting in front of the south bleachers, had risen to their feet anil had shaken their yellow blan kets tauntingly in the face of the Ste phens College girls who were "rooting" for the Tigers. Now they sat with bowed heads. Their mascot, the cub bear, "Burch," was a picture of dejec tion. It was all strange to the Iowa team, ,which had conic to Columbia sure of winning by a big score. It was clear from the moment the Iowa team trotted on the field, soon after 2:30 o'clock, that they were over confident. On the previous Saturday they had beaten little Coe College team by the overwhelming score of 02 to 0. Last year they twisted the Tiger's tail and won 21 to 0. They outweighed Missouri, and they had up their sleeves the famous "angle play," devised by Coach Mark Catlin and saved especially for the game with the Tigers. IOWA, RELYING ON "ANGLE PLAY" OVER-CONFIDENT BEFORE GAME With well-drilled precision Iowa went through its preliminary practice, running off the plays quickly and easily. There was faint hope then in the breasts of the Tiger supporters. The do-or-die spirit was there, how ever, in the "rooters" as well as in the players, ami when the Tigers trotted onto the field the crowds in the stands arose and cheered and cheered again. The preliminaries were soon over then came a moment of tense expectation and the game was on. In five minutes all the over-confidence had been shaken out of the Iowa play ers and the game settled down to a grim fight. Time and again the Tiger line tightened and held and the Hawk eyes were forced to kick. During a good part of the first half the ball was well in Iowa territory, with both teams fighting for every inch of the ground. Penalties", caused by the over eagerness of the players, were frequent on both side?. With only atout eight minutes left (Continued on Third Pfr.)

Since the creation of the newspaper, however, men have come in close touch with their fellows all over the world, and though the importance of local matters has greatly diminished, the broader view has made it possible for men to grow nd expand. Mr. Bonaparte goes on to show how the newspaper can either be a factor in expressing public opinion or mold ing it, or else it can be the tool of some unscrupulous man or machine for selfish ends. He deals at some length with the responsibility of the newspaper. He lays greatest stress upon the danger of the newspaper selling its editorial columns. In the other parts of the paper, whatever is paid for is marked "Ad-ertisement." If the editorial pages arc to be used to influence readers for the benefit of a few, they should lie headed 'Advertisements" that the read ers niay know that thev are reading paid matter and not genuine editorial opinion.

It cannot be said of the students of the University of Missouri that they are not loyal and do not support the football team. They do, earnestly and enthusiastically. Scaon tickets to the amount of more than $2,300 were sold to the students alone. Students of this University have been known to deny themselves the necessities of life that they might have the money to buy a season football ticket. This spirit is commendable, but why not be equally as loyal in supporting all student ac tivities? It takes just as much time and abil ity for an athlete to "make"' the basket ball, the baseball or the track teams, but none of these activities receive one half of the support the Tigers are re ceivingand deservedly receiving now. Strange as it may seem, the Glee Club, the student theatricals, and the Intercollegiate debates often fail to pay expenses. Why? Because the Univer sity of Missouri students do not think that their fellow students, who put time and abilities in the brain work are entitled to their support. In many colleges these student ac tivities receive as much of the students' support lis any branch ofi athletics. If the University of Missouri wishes to take front rank in "College spirit" it will be necessary for its students to boost all student activities. VALUE OF THE A. B. Time was when the College of Arts and Science was the Mecca of all men seeking a University education. But of late the popular fancy seems to be in favor of entering the professional schools, immediately upon graduation from high school. Men preparing for professional careers do not seem to ap preciate the fact that an academic edu cation will increase their earning ca pacity one hundred per cent. They think that the time spent in acquiring an academic education is time foolishly spent. They are not aware of the fact that if they want to be educated in the real seli-e of the word, this educa tion can only be acquired through the College of Arts and Science. The ma jority of men. candidates for profes sional careers, do not know that the most successful men in all walks of life were men who had a large supply of general information secured only through the College of Arts and Sci ence. The Academic Department, besides being able to impart general clucation. teaches to think. Men trained to think are becoming more in demand every day. These men by virtue of their general education, are daily flrawing higher salaries than men trained only in one subject. The man who is graduated with the degree of A. B. can go out into the ivoild with the knowledge that he has a general education that will prove ben eficial to him in all walks of life. THE POWER OF THE PRESS. Attorney-General Bonaparte, in an article on 'Government by Public Opin ion," which appeared in The Forum for October, has given his opinion of the newspaper. He first shows how the coming of the daily press has widened men's vision. Before newspapers exist ed, men knew of those beyond their city or manor or canton only in a gen eral way, and the things of local hap pening received practically his entire To the Editor of the University Mlssonrlan: Jt would Ik a valuable experiment to try a straw ballot among the Uni versity girls. Statistics in regard to woman's suffrage could be gathered. The women in this University repre sent the educated class of American women. They have delved into consti tutional history and political econoniv equally with the men except they have worked harder. They understand party principles, and theories of government. The straw ballot would find out if they care to apply their knowledge. See if they are indifferent. Who wouldn't want to delve into the heat of this campaign? Every girl has the same latent feeling that the young man has before his first election. But she keens it latent because when she mentions it every one she knows howls at her. Give her the real suffrage and see if she is indifferent. In Colorado forty two per cent of the population are women and forty-eight per cent of the votes arc polled by women. No logical reason has ever been ad vanced to show why women should not vote. Next to indifference the greatest argument is that the political world makes a woman masculine, and that her home duties are too absorbing for her to spare the time to vote. Does a lawyer lose clients because he- votes? Does a reporter fail to turn in enough copy because he does his duty as a citizen? There was the same struggle over property rights as there is over suf frage. A married woman was not nl. lowed to control her property until within the last fifty years. The argu ment is raised that women ought not to vote because they cannot protect tiieir country m time of war. If they could vote there would be fewer wars. It is held that women have not the right to suffrage because they are not capable of holding office. Thev are more capable of holding some offices than are men. Jane Addams made the lest garbage collector Chicago ever had. Suffrage is not taken from foreign-born residents because they are not eligible to lie President of the United States. The primary business of woman is conceded to be looking after her chil dren but that does not prevent her from indulging in a few things on the side. The woman who votes will be better able to instruct her sons in the duties of citizenship. Lax laws affect women more than men because she neeus more protection. She introduces humanity into the law for her sympa thies and emotions are the strongest phase of her temperament. Judge Lind sey admits that he was able to cam on so successfully his child rescue cam paign because of the women's vote in Colorado. In the four states where women have entire suffrage the prob lem of child labor has been eliminated. At the present time wlm :in. n-nm..ii political equals idiots, criminals, in fants, and foreigners. She is plainly out of her class in this classification. Experience has shown the state is best ruled by the suffrage of the reat- est number of citizens. The American women are fifty-five per cent of the entire American people. However even the man who would fight to keep his wife and daughters away from the polls is forced to admit that a partial suffrage is desirable if not a necessity. There is a certain municipal housekeeping concerning the cleaning of streets, the inspection of tcnements, and certain sanitarv condi tion, that women ought to control. Women should have a large interest in the school laws, they should inspect prisons, morgues, factories for violation of child labor laws, sale of drugs. And to control this special Dims., of nnv. eminent she must have at least partial suffrage.

They all seem greatly taken by the project." Lewis M. Holden, former student, now secretary and treasurer of the Holden Abstract and Investment Co.. Albany, Mo., writes as follows to the University Missourian "Please enter my name on vour list of subscriptions for the school year from September to June and send me all the copies I have missed by sending this in late. I cannot afford to miss any copies of the paper that keeps me in touch with the old school." WOMEN who care to adopt the 'sil houette' idea of dress must say good-by to their last petticoat, the 'last' because it has been a single affair for several seasons. Now, how ever, it is to be banished entirely in its familiar form, and the "mystery cor set," or the maillot, as it is called (be cause the wearing of "tights" with nothing over them is a little shocking to sensitive ears) has replaced it. Thev and the other experiments in gossamer underwear are the pivots on which all the extreme of the season's fashions turn. "Fortunately a middle course has al ready been found by which the beauty of the long lines is still possible without the undress effect of the ultra models with which imjtorters first bewildered us. However, it. too, decrees that our dresses must stick to us, though that term also is softened. Tailors are speaking of the new skirts as coilante, which means exactly the same thing. It is of undressed satin and of the thinnest weave. In order to make it sufficiently coilante it is provided with iiisiae elastic bands, through which each is slipped. With this petticoat the PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S reference in his inaugural address at Wil liams to a class of students against whom the college should "close the doors promptly," is only one sign more of a searching of heart, on this subject, among academic authorities. How to get rid of the student loafer; how to combat and destroy the notion that a college is "the best athletic club going;" how to make college life appear some thing else than an annex to fashionable society in a word, how to make stu dents study that is the problem. Presi dent Hvde of Bowdoin dealt with it in his talk to the incoming Freshmen. He had some pungent words about the cur rent "maxim that "a gentleman's rank in college is "C," or lower. The action of the Yale faculty in cutting off the week-end absences of pleasure-loving students is another indication that pres idents and professors are waking to the scandal. The dean of one of the fac ulties at Harvard lias said that the most difficult question before that uni versity is how to prevent students from idling awav their time without work. For two decades at least the Philis tines have been invading our Eastern colleges. The general increase in wealth and spread of luxurious habits, during that time, have bred a species of hangers-on they cannot properly be called members of our educational institu tions, who are a disgrace to themselves and the colleges that harbor them. We do not mean the openly vicious. With them, it is usually easy to deal sternly. The students whom President Garfield described are the elegant young gentle men without intellectual ambition or moral purpose; they dawdle away their four years with no thought of getting out of college anything but social amuse ment and a sort of gambler's excitement. They live lavishly. They take an in tense interest in athletics as practiced by others "supporting" the team in exactly the spirit of the decadent young Roman noble patting the muscles of the gladiator whom he had backed to kill his man. They are the kind of men whom the new president of Wil liams characterized as "those who loaf because they choose to, and who do not propose to change their occupation." A little study, of course, is a disagreeable necessity, but the amount of it is kept as small as a too indulgent faculty will permit. It is these men, and their growing numbers in our Eastern col leges, who have made almost literally applicable the sarcasm which Gaston Phoebus, in "Lot hair," directed at Eng lish students: "What I admire in the order to which you belong is that they live in the open air; that they excel in athletic sports; that they can only speak one language; and that they never read. This is not a complete education; but it is the highest education since the Greek." The deepening recognition of the evil should lead to a fixing of attention upon the one remedy. It is surely no great mystery. What it is, President Garfield plainly implied. The college should have a college standard, which it should en-'i force absolutely without fear or favor The standard ought not to be that of social club, nor an athletic association, but of a body of scholars pursuing tfce intellectual life. Something of the rigor witli which technical and professional schools demand from all their student a certain measure of attainment, would be wonderfully tonic in our colleges. There would be no moral condemnation in excluding men who could not or would not do the required work, any more than there is in dropping incompe tent students by the Institute of Tech nology or the College of Physicians anrl Surgeons. It would be simply the dis passionate enforcement of a sound rule me cooi lacing anu application of the fact. "This is a society for intellectual training. You show no cajiacity even to appreciate it, much less to share in it and we must, therefore, ask you to be take yourself elsewhere." As the Evening Post has insisted more than once before, the cure of a good part of the athletic obsession in our colleges could be effected by .simply raising the standard of scholarship, and manfully enforcing it. "Take your ab- sences for the big games, young gentle men, use up your quota of 'cuts,' train all day and talk athletics all night; but if you do not meet the decent require ments of a scholar, you cannot stay here." This seems easy, but we kunw that it is hard. It takes more courage and stamina in a professor than most people think to "flunk" the captain of the eleven or to mark the examination paper of a "good fellow" witli Ucoming severity. There is no surer road to thfr loss of immediate popularity. And from the grumbling which has been heard at Princeton over President Wilson's mod erate attempts to make study somethin" more than a trifling incidental, one can infer what complaints would be made if President Garfield should proceed mercilessly to "close the doors" upon alt undesirable students at Williams. We- rather guess that the alumni and trus tees and benefactors would be heard from, wailing over the needless inter ference with the college's "prosperity."" The thing will have ultimately to be done, however, if only in self-defcnse-Educational institutions cannot forever go on permitting our young barbarians all at play to belie their very name- And we are convinced that success as well as moral distinction would come to any college that resolutely set itself against over-athletics and under-study. The kind of eminence which Balliol Col lege at Oxford long enjoyed is within the reach of any American institution, which would put the things of the mind. where they belong; would not only ex alt scholarship in commencement ad dresses, but would exact it in the long; routine of the college year; would not mcrely erect as the ideal, but would, strive unceasingly to realize, that pur suit of wisdom in which the smooth-slipping weeks Drop by, and leave its seeker still untired." New York Evening Post. Prof. A. R. Coburn, superintendent of the Chillicotlie public schools, writes: "We are very much pleased to re ceive the University Missourian and will place it on file in our library. The high school students read it very eagerly. It certainly will serve as a great influence in directing the young people to the University."

I attended the meeting of the Social Equality Leaue and my parlor maid presided and had the audacity to call me to order three times!" Fliegende Blaetter. THE Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity celebrated its thirty-eighth birth day by a banquet at the Gordon Hotel Saturday evening. Following a time-honored custom the guests wore powdered hair and the room was lighted by red and white candles. Miss Adele Fleming was toastmistress. Miss Els- ton, Miss Wood, Miss Craig, and Miss Pearse gave toasts to the different classes. Miss Katherine Helm spoke on the convention and toasted Miss Edith Stoner, the grand president, who is from the local Theta chapter. Miss Beth Patterson attended from Mexico. THE word which every extremist in the matter of new attire, maker or wearer, is conjuring with, and which figures in every headline in notes fashionable, is the "silhouette." It has the double meaning in French of outline and shadow, and so it describes, quite perfectly, the thin, scant Directoire gowns, which outline the human figure even where the latter is not shadowed through the sparse folds. These effects are arrived at by the adoption of re formed underwear, under lined, thin cloth skirts. Ros Comly. the Iowa center, and Charles Hazard, fullback, who played in the Iowa-Missouri game Saturday, were entertained while in Columbia as the guests of the Acacia fraternity. 'MAGININ' THINGS.

SCHOOL ARMY IN AMERICA The American army of school children consists of not far from 12 million pu pils in actual daily attendance. This is two-thirds of the total enrollment and a little less than one-half of the total number of American children and youths between five and eighteen years of age. Forty years ago 30 per cent of our total population were in the "3 to IS years of age" group, which now includes only 2S per cent. This marks the force of the "race suicide" move ment. Forty years ago 37 per cent of the members of that group were on the school lists, as compared with 70 per cent at the present time. In 1870 the average number of days of school attendance for each pupil was "in. m. it, nas now reached 100. In 18S0 American pupils averaged four years of schooling using 200 davs as the basis of a school year. They now aver age five and a half years. In the states of the North Atlantic division the aver age is seven years and in the North Central division it is six and a half years. The states of the Western di vision show a little longer term than the states of the North Atlantic divis ion. The South Atlantic and South Central divisions show an average of three and a third years as comnared with two years a quarter of a century There are in this country about 200, 000 schoolhouses, and the value of all school property is about 800 million dollars. The teachers' army numbers about 475,000, approximately one-quarter males and three-quarters females. The average salary of male teachers is about $37 a month and of female teach ers about $44. The total yearly expen diture for educational purposes exceeds 300 million dollars. Ineludinjr exnen- ditures for private instruction, for uni versities, colleges and technological schools, normal schools, professional school", reform schools and schools for the defective classes the sum is ap proximately 400 million dollars. Omit ting these and including only what Is known as public instruction, the annual cost is about $3.75 per capita and the annual expense about $27 a mini!. TW.

The ball slipped from Xee's hands and half a dozen plaj-ers scrambled for it. An Iowa man got it on Missouri's thirty yard line. Here the Iowa team showed at its best, and bj- hard line bucking pushed the ball over for the first score of the game. Kirk, who had been doing the punting, failed to kick goal. Missouri came back fighting and with only a few minutes left to play rushed the ball to within striking distance, whence Bluck made his successful kick. The ball sailed fair and true between the goal pots. Again the Tigers came back, fighting harder than ever, and two minutes later Alexander made his spec tacular run. In the second half Missouri resorted to defensive tactics. Again and again the Hawkeyes, on the forward pass hy Carberry, gained around the right end. only to be held at the crucial time hy the Tiger line.

The Tigers' goal was not in danger again. As the crowd streamed out of the grounds, yelling with the little voice it had left, the siren whistle on the Uni versity of Missouri power house began to scream in exultation. The band played. Students leaped from the bleachers and carried the victorious Ti gers off the field on their shoulders.

Member of the clubs are in favor of reviving the -y,tem this year on a more elaborate scale. It is argued that through such an organization it would Ik- po ible to increa-e the number of county club, by prevailing upon the -tiident'- from counties well represented in the L"niver,ity to organize.

Copies of i every student and University nub- j lication were sent to the four accred- I j ited high school, in the county. During the Christmas holiday, the County Club annually gives programs in every high school in the county, consisting of songs, speeches. 'Var,ity yells, etc. In the -pring prie, are given to winners in a county inter-high school track meet prelimonary to the state meet here. Prospective Students Entertained. In the summer the Club gives two elalwratc events for the high school students in the county. The first of these is a smoker to the young men w ho graduate from the four high schools. These smokers are held in one of the three principal cities, Joplin, Carthage ami Webb City. The second event is a dance hnd picnic at Lakeside Park, Southwest Missouri's chief pleasure re sort. More than 300 attended the dance anil picnic last summer. The result of these efforts has been to bring the University into close con tact with prospective students and indi cations arc for a greatly increased en rollment from the county next year. Twelve or fifteen students have signi fied their intention to enter the Univer sity the second semester of this year, which will bring the enrollment from Jasper county well over 100. The officers of the club are: Walter Stemmons, Carthage, president; Chester thering the intere-t- of the University in Macon county." A novel scheme ha, been adopted to interest the students of Macon county high schools in the University. This is an annual football 1 game between the Macon County club and the Macon high school. Last year the club met the high school team on its own gridiron and won 21 to 0. Xow nearly every high school boy in Macon wants to come to the University to learn to play football. The officers of the Maeon County Club are: President. Kem. Jr.; secretary. II. B. Stone; treas- Andrew Fields; vice-president. J. P. j urer, George W. Glasgow. The club numbered twenty-four members last I year and has an increased enrollment this year. The Holt County Club was organized in 1900. La-t year it had a membership i of twenty-two students, while this year there are thirty-five students from the j county. Personal work is relied upon chiefly to induce students to enter the i Univer-ity. The officers are: President. 0. J. Fries; vice-president, J. B. Hilsen- beck; treasurer, W. L. Johnson, secre- tary. Miss Hortense Dungan. I Caldwell Club Active. The Caldwell County Students' Club' was organized in December, 1907. The club has the double purpo-e of increas ing the standards of the schools in the home county and of interesting the i students of Caldwell county in the Uni- versity. There were seventeen students j from Caldwell county enrolled in the I University last year and a much larger number this year. The county is in a farming territory with no large towns j and considering the fact that it is in the 1 northvve-t corner of the state with a j number of small colleges competing for i high school graduates, the club has suc j ceeded admirably. I The students from Xodaway county i are planning to organize a county club this fall. There are more than tortv j students from that county in the Uni j versity and while there has been no' organization to carry on the work, the students have been among the most en ergetic in the University in advertising the L'niversity in the home county. Xod away county has long been recognized as a University stronghold and sonm of the best-known students in the last ten years have come from there.
