UOTVERSITY MISSOURIAN. VOLU3IE I. COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1908. NUMBER 37 I HERE'S NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES EXTRAl EXTRA li w, J:! -n A to TAFT DEFEATS BRYAN BY 1,000,000 MAJORITY; CONGRESS REPUBLICAN New York State, Keystone in Campaign, Goes Republican by 200,000 Votes, and Hughes is Next Governor, Winning from Chanler. COMMONER GAINS STRENGTH IN MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, KENTUCKY New England Gives Heavy Taft Vote, But "Solid South" Weakens i 'Mysterious Stranger" Leaves Missouri. Tin nation gave its indorsement at the polls yesterday to Republican pol icies a iivd by William Howard Taft and James S. Sherman, electing them to the presidency and vice-presidency by pluralities aggregating more than a mil lion vole. In New York, where the result pivoted, the Republicans .-.cored a sweeping victon. T.ift and Sherman carried the state by an estimated plurality of 200,000, a gain of 25,000 over the plurality four years ago. Go. Hughe-, against whom the racing interests waged war, ran far be hind the national ticket, but his election is conceded. Conservative estimates place hi- plurality at 50,000. The electoral college, as forecasted from United Press dispatches, will cast 312 vote- tor Taft and 171 for Bryan. Four vcar.s ago the electoral vote was 33(5 for Roo-cvelt. to 1-40 for Parker. The increased strength of Bryan was clearly manifest in Missouri, where he swung a Republican plurality of 23,000 four years ago to a- many in the Demo cratic column. In Kentucky, where a Republican state ticket won last fall, and where Louisville, the chief city, ap parently went Republican, he won a plurality e-timaled at 10,000, where in 1904 hi- plurality was but 10,000. Slump in Solid South. Tcas, North Carolina and Oklahoma Tolled up big pluralities for the Nebras kan. The -o tailed "Solid South" show ed a divided slump from the optimistic figure- in Democratic forecasts, but was stronger for the Commoner than four years ago. The returns are so incomplete that the figures for no state can be supplied with precision a- yet, and only a few cities are ac-nra'cly known. In St. Louis only 140 precincts had Ken heard from at 0 a. m. today, and these gave Taft about 10,000 plurality. Attorney General Hartley ran about 2000 ahead of his ticket there. Bryan Carries Kansas City. In Kansas City Bryan was victor, but "William S. Cowherd, the Democratic nominee tor governor, ran ahead of his ticket in this, his native city.

Boone county, one of the bannei Dem ocratic, countie- of the .-tate, rolled up its usual Democratic majority ye-ter-rtay, giving the ticket a lead of 3000. An unusually heavy vote wa- east by iKith partie- in all pait- of the county. Nearly all the voting was straight. Very little scratching wa- done. A few Republicans voted for Folk. The Re publicans showed little interest in the Republican senatorial conte-t and the vote was light. In 11 of the 30 precincts in Boone county Folk received 380 vote-, Stone 500; Bryan 970, Taft 430; Cowheirt' 007, Hartley 433. The same precincts in 1901 gave Roosevelt 339, Parker 943. In seventeen other precincts in Boone county Folk received 024 votes. Stone S45; Bryan 1503, Taft 525; Cowherd 1493, Hartley 501. In Columbia the vote was: Folk 852, Stone 1147; Bryan 1503, Taft 500; Cow herd 1499; Hartley 504. Tn rural precincts, including Sturgeon. 23 give Folk 1014, Stone 1355.

Returns at 0 o'clock this morning showed that Bryan and Cowherd carried Boone county by 2S00 plti- rality Stone's majority over Folk was 400. The vote for the Republican sen- atorial candidate- was light. The vote in precinct No. 2 was: Bryan 381. Taft 190; Folk 202, Stone 199; Cow herd 399, Hartley LSI; Roach 404; Swan ger 177. Twenty-eight out" of 30 precincts in Boone county, with the exception of Cen tralia and precinct 1, Columbia, give Folk 1510, Stone 17S9. PERFECT WEATHER BRINGS OUT VOTERS Reports Show That Unusually Large Ballot is Polled. The fine weather that prevailed yes-ti-rilav was all the camnaiim managers i c I could have asked for. The returns indi- jeate that the Boone county vote is the largest ever polled in the county. Reports show that good weather gen erally prevailed in all parts of the coun tiy, bringing out an unusually heavy vote. Students Couldn't Vote. At the voting places in Columbia a clo-e watch was kept upon the student iote, to prevent over-7calous students, who are not residents, from voting. Tho-e who tried to cast ballots at the polling place reserved for residents south of Broadway were challenged by F. W. Niederaeyer. COWHERD, ALUMNUS OF M. 0., NEXT GOVERNOR; STONE DEFEATS FOLK Former Kansas City Congressman Gains Victory Over Attorney-General Hadley by 1 5,000 Plurality, Running 1 0,000 Votes Behind Bryan. STATE LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC; SELPH IS ST. LOUIS CONGRESSMAN Close Fight is Waged Between Governor and Senatorial Incumbent, Latter Winning by An Estimated Majority of 12,000. Missouri Democrats at the polls yesterday banished the "Mysterious Stran ger' from the state and elected William St rot her Cowherd, a graduate of the University of Missouri, next governor. Cowherd's plurality over Attorney-General Herliert S. Hadley, his Republi can opponent, was between 10,000 and 15,000. Bryan ran ahead of Cowherd, getting an estimated plurality in the state of 25,000. Democratic newspapers this morning place his lead at 30,000, but Republican journals concede only 10,000. The state legislature is regarded as certainly Democratic. Reports so far received indicate the victory of United States Senator Wil liam Joel Stone, candidate for re-election, over Gov. Joseph W. Folk. Stone now is leading by 10,000 votes, compiled lioth from city and country districts. The returns indicate that he ran a consistent race, drawing strength equally from city wards and rural com munities. The contest was the closest in the Missouri election and interest in the outcome has overshadowed the na tional election in many sections of the state. Senator Stone's friends assert that the final count will give him the victory by 30.000 plurality. Senator Stone was bitterly fought by leading newspapers of St. Louis and Kansas City. State Ticket Wins. The state Demovratic ticket was elect ed to a man. The Democrats were successful in electing congressmen from fourteen dis tricts of the state, while the Republi cans are known to have carried two. In St. Louis only 140 precincts had re ported at C o'clock this morning. These give Hadley an estimated plurality of 12,000 to 15,000. Taft ran about 2000 votes behind the Republican gubernator ial candidate. None of the West End wards, comprising the residence section fo the city, has reported. St. Louis Democrats Beaten. The entire Democratic city ticket in St. Louis was defeated by majorities ranging from 7000 to 25,000. Harry S. Walsh, the party's nominee for circuit attorney and a protege of Colonel Ed Butler, former political boss of St. Louis, went down with the rest of the ticket. Walsh was opposed by Seebert Jones, a brother-m-Iaw of .leptlia J-. Howe, chairman of the Republican city central committee. Colin M. Selph, president of the St. Louis Democratic club, according to re turns now available, was elected to con gress in the Twelfth district in St. Louis.

From returns received at Jefferson City, Senator Stone early this morning claimed a majority of 30,000 over Folk. Cowherd ledj his ticket in Kansas City, receiving more votes than Bryan. In St. Louis the situation was reversed, Bryan leading the ticket. St. Louis gave the Republican ticket a small ma jority.

Sub scribe now. movement of the Persian i,.4 disputed for a while the advance of Christianity, was the subject of the fifth lecture by Professor Jackson in hjs Lowell Institute course at Harvard oa the ".Religions of Persia." "There were two widely disseminated religious movements that sprang out of Zoroastrianism," said the speaker "which affected the West as well as the East. One of these was the worship, of Mithra, the divinity of Hrnt j-j truth; the other was Maniciiaeism, th& faith founded in the third Christian century by the religion, Ieajer teacher, Mani." Each of these creeds came for a time into a competition more or le63 active with Christianity, mi each yielded ultimately to the world'a greater religion in the We-t and to the Mohammedan belief in the East. The history of each movement has ita inter. est to the thinking man today as well as to the theologian. Of the two the faith in Mithra wa the more widely diffused and attracted more attention in the world outside of Persia. It spread over all of western Europe, even into Great Britain, and persisted for two or three cuituries. It was accepted at Borne, to which it is. said to have been brought to Pompey by some captured pirates, and its limits were hardly less remarkable than those of the empire itself. Mithra, lord of wide pastures. was the personification of the sun Perhaps more accurately he was the light of day rather than the biin itself As a sua god he had some affinities to Jupiter. In the Avestan hymns he rides in his chariot with his arms upliitcd, with Rashnu on his right and Christa on his. left. He was the god of truth, and woe be to him who would lie in his pres ence. He had a place by the side of the supreme God, Ormazd. With his thou sand senses and ten thousand eyes and ears, he sought out the sinner that had. belied his word, broken his pledge or been untrue to his faith. And in this, connection there was given a curious, setting forth of relationships or rather their strength, under different lombina tions. The pledge between two friends, was twenty fold; between copartners, in land thirty fold, and between busi ness partners forty fold. The scale goes, up into family life, rating fifty fold be tween man and wife, sixty fold between two pupils of the same master, and sev enty fold between master and pupil. Son-in-law and father-in-law have an. eighty fold pledge, two brothers a nine ty fold bond, while between father and son it is one hundred fold. Between na tions the pledge is one thousand fold, and in a matter connected with the religion of Mazda it was ten thousand fold. Mothers and sisters did not enter into this rating at all. Monuments to Mithra, remains of the temples and accounts that have beea preserved give some idea of the nature of the worship. It included lustrations. and eastigations, a sacrament, wine and. various rites. Its temples were often times in caves, and its symbols the fig ure of Mithra, usually as the slayer of the bull, and with him his faithful dog, nameless like the hound of Meleager, who is also a solar hero. The serpent, the scorpion, the cock and the ant were symbolic to Mithra and an emblem of the faith, also solar in meaning, were, the torches, one inverted, typifying the sun in its circular course. Finally it lost strength and began to fade, giving place to Maniciiaeism. Mani, teacher and prophet, was bora in Babylon, but of Persian ancestry. He appeared in A. D. 21b', and thanks to an eclectic education given him by his father, he formulated a creed com posed of elements from the Persian, Babylonian and other faiths with a tinc ture of Christian ideas. It was in a way antagonistic to the young Chris tian church, and until very recently the knowledge of it has been by infer ence, for all of its books were lost. Pole mic writings, quotations in the writ ings of the church fathers furnished all that was known of it until the latest finds in Chinese Turkestan. Among the sand-buried ruins of Tur- fan, preserved in the earth in one of the most arid regions of the earth, the Bible of this faith, or fragments of it have been so recently discovered that the scholars have not as yet had the time to decipher the texts. An expedi tion fostered by the Emperor William within ten years has resurrected these writings, which have literally been bur ied in the earth for a thousand years,, and the task of deciphering is now fa progress. It is the voice of the teacher himself, who says. "I, Mani, messenger of the god of truth and last of the prophets."

U. OF M. BULLETIN 01 COAL STORAGE Two Engineering Instructors Publish Results of Their Experiments. OTHER TESTS ARE IN PROGRESS Exposed Samples Lose One Fifth of Calorific Power in Month. The Department of Engineering re cently pul'lMieil its first bulletin enti tled ".v'oHie Experiments in the Storage of Coal." Tin pamphlet was edited by i. A. Ffeiuleii and .1. K. Wharton, instructor-, in -Mechanical Engineering in the University of Missouri, and con tains tue interesting conclusions. The storage of coal has long been an important .subject to the large consum er. Industry is developing at such a rate as to make it imperative to pro vide nie.uis for storing fuel in sufficient quantities to maintain large establish ments for a long time, independent of the outside sources of supply. This is made necessary, the booklet points out, liv labor umditioiis which result in coal mines being idle at certain times and by tin raihoads, which fail to furnish adequate transportation facilities for delivering coal at a regular rate except in large quantities. Experiments have been made by Messrs. Fesenden and Wharton, with several mu prising tesults. Coal was found to deteriorate very rapidly on exposure to lain, snow and wind, freez ing and thawing, and various other cli matic changes. These changes caused the coal to break up, slack and to lose much of its heating power. Three Grades of Coal Tested. Extracts from the report of their ex periments follow: "Three grades were taken from newly-mined coal fine, medium and lump. One sample of each size of coal was placed in a shallow, wooden box; the three boxes were placed on the flat roof of the University power house and ex posed to all the climatic changes of fall and winter. The bottoms of the boxes were previously slit, so that no water would be retained in them. "One sample of each size of coal was put in a similar box and stored in a warm basement room in the Engineer ing building. These samples were ex posed only to the different temperature variations of the room. "One sample of each kind was placed in a galvanized iron bucket, covered with pure water and stored in the same room as the dry set of samples. Every day, additional water was poured upon it, to replace that which had evap orated. Care Taken in Sampling. "The sampling extended over a pe riod of four months. Although great care was taken, some of the tests seem to indicate that a fair sample was not taken, but were sufficient to dem onstrate the required points. "After being exposed to the weather for a short time, the coal on the roof of the power house became covered with a white, frost-like deposit. The oal became very brittle, and that which was originally solid could be crushed in the hand after a few weeks more of weathering. Soon it could no longer be called lump coal. A lack of samples prevented the tests from being larried further. The coal was found to h.ne lost 20 per cent of its calorific power in four weeks. From appear ances, the coal would have deteriorated more than 50 per cent in calorific power within a year. "The submerged samples also ap peared to lose some of their soundness, but not to any great extent. "The samples stored dry did not seem to change at all, either in appearance or hardness." Spontaneous Combustion. The pamphlet also treats of sponta neous combustion of coal, especially of oal on shipboard, where it is confined in hot lniiler rooms and is very likely to take fire. It suggests as a remedy that water-pipes having holes closed by Jiwible plugs be laid in the place of storage. o that if the temperature rises to a dangerous point, the plugs will melt and cause the bunker to be flooded. At present a scries of tests are in progress upon samples of Missouri coal, lit thi-e tests provisions are made against inaccuracies due to "unfair" sampling, wd a record is being kept of the hang.-s in the composition of the coal. Considerable difficulty has been encoun 'ered in obtaining samples. Most coal mining companies will not offer any co operation. The tests probably will last two year-. 1 F. Meade, LL.

HE'S A MEMBER OF THE DEKES Only Oriental Who May Wear the "Y" on His Robes of State. Chung Men Yew, the only Chinaman in the world who knows what the mys tic letters Delta Kappa Epsilon mean to 9,000 American college graduates, is now sailing across the Pacific as sneeial .n- voy in connection with Prince Tang Shao Yi's gorgeous retinue, some say, to succeed Wu Ting-fang as Chinese minister at Washington. Also he is certainly the only Chinaman in the world who, if he sees fit, may wear the coveted "Y" of Yale as an ornament on his Oriental state robes. In addition to being one of very few Chinamen who ever has ridden any Am erican college fraternity goat, Chung Men Yew enjoys the reputation of being the only Chinaman who ever was coxa wain of an American university cre,w. His session with the goat and with the megaphone and stop watch both took place at Yale, where he was a member of the class of The Dekes attended to the goat matter and the managers of the '83 'varsity crew picked out Chung to steer the boat against Harvard. And divested of his magnificent robes, his peacock feather and other Chinese insig nia, Chung steered his crew to victory. His Social Training. Chung, if he succeeds the famous Wu, will bring to his office no little of the so cial skill which has made Wu the very welcome guest at American functions. He was connected for sex'eral years with the embassy at Washington and almost his last public appearance before he re turned to China was his speech at the banquet of the D. K. E. convention in Washington, where he responded to the toast, "Yale, the Mother Chapter," and sang the marching song of the Dekes with as much gusto as the youngest del egate. Probably his first after dinner reap pearance in the United States will be as a speaker at the Delta Kappa Epsilon dinner in the Waldorf on the evening of Nov. 13, when, with his fraternity brothers, Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, Senator Frank B. Brandegec of Connecticut, Victor M. Metcalf, Secre tary of the Navy, ex-Governor Fiank S. Black, Bishop Johnson of South Dakota. Toastmastcr Charles P.

He has been for several days plodding about the home in Richmond Heights, where he is doing the work of an ordi nary hired man. Mrs. Grimes, who was born fifty-four years after her husband's birth, in Jef ferson county, Ky., and who is now twenty-one years old, is working in a Sixth street lunchery.

TYPE OF SOUTHERN NEGRO HAS SERVED Horace Williams, Janitor, Has Seen Six Presidents Come and Go. Horace Williams, a negro janitor in Academic Hall of the University of Missouri, has served the University in various capacities for nearly fifty years, and has seen the coming and going of six of its presidents. There is a M-nsc in which he is a part of the University; he overflows with its his tory and traditions, and none loves it more loyally than he. Williams is a tvpe. It is of his kind that Joel Chandler Harris and Thomas Nelson Page have written so delight fully. He is a real "befo' the war dark ey, sub." He fits into the southern atmosphere of Columbia and the Uni versity of Missouri as a tree roots in the soil from which it springs. He has a dignity his own, a fine simplicity, a generous store of common sense and a broad gift of humor. He is courteous. He has that instinctive grace of the Southern negro in being respectful with out cringing. He began working for the University when he was a small boy, just after the Civil War, and he is proud of his long career in its service. Born in Slavery. Williams was born in slavery in Madison county, Ky., in 1S30. His own er, Prof. William Shields, moved to Co lumbia in 1800 to teach Latin in the University. Williams' first position with the University was as assistant to Prof. Schwaler of the Agricultural College, in helping him collect minerals for the State Geological Department. His next work was as a helper in build ing the present Agricultural College building, which was completed a few years after the Civil War. In his younger days Williams did all kinds of work for the University. I It carried coal, chopped wood and made fires. The University did not have fur naces in those days. Williams lived at the home of Dr. Samuel S. Laws, who was the seventh University President, for thirteen years, during all Dr. Laws' administration. I It acted as special messenger and as body sen-ant for Dr. Laws. In speaking of the growth of the University, Williams said to a reporter for the University Missourian: Wonders at Greatness. "I never dreamed such a wonderful University would grow up here. When I was a bov the University consisted EDITOR KEPT HIS MARRIAGE SECRET H. R.

Nelson went to the State Fair at Sc dalia with a party of agricultural stu dents of the University of Missouri. When the others were ready to return to Columbia, Nelson said that he "had to go up to Iowa on business." While in Iowa he was married to Miss Ford at the home of her parents. CAT CHASES A BULLDOG Resents His Intrusion Into Her Domain and Routs Him. PITTSBURG, Nov. 4. When not at tending to her four little kittens on the second floor, William Clain's pet cat is his constant companion in the Central Station elevator. A night or two ago a stranger, ac companied by a bull terrier, entered Central Station to ask a question. The moment the pussy saw the dog her back was bowed, her tail became erect and her hair stood on end. Fire blazed from her eyes and she made a dash for the dog to prevent any harm coming to her offspring. The dog wavered for an in stant, backed away and finally started on a run. The pet chased it to the alley and then proudly returned. 'Well, if I don't disown or shoot that dog the first thing in the morning it will be a strange thing to me," com mented the stranger, as he left the building. Miss Juanita Whittle, who was op erated on for appendicitis about three weeks aco, will lie out of the Parker Memorial Hospital soon.

In the latter section the prohi bition legislation enacted in the various States has been effective in helping to build up the societies. At Syracuse recently the Prohibition Club attended a district convention of the State party, and it was determined that the collegians should take as act ive a part as possible in the campaign.

The new de partment of Journalism is getting on its feet more quickly and is growing more rapidly than any other new department of the University. "The night the old University burned was terribly cold. The ground was cov ered with snow. The only important thing saved was the fossil elephant, now in the Zoology building. The stu dents got the fossil out of the burning building with remarkable care, consid ering the excitement of the fire.

The opening of the new Academic buildin" limuirlit more stran- ers and more creat men to Columbia than any other Con oration has done ei ther before or after. It awakened great er enthusaisin and inteicst for the Uni versity throughout the State at large." The Presidents of the University of Missouri during the time Williams has been connected with it are: The Rev. Dr. Shannon, who served at the time Williams came to Columbia; William Wilson Hudson, a Vale grad uate, who served two years, and died in office Jan. 14, 18.9; Benjamin Blake Minor, who was president at the time of the Civil War, when the University temporarily suspended all of its exer cises and vacated all of its offices; Dr. John II. Lathrop, who succeeded Presi dent Minor in 1802 and served until 1S00; Dr. Daniel Read, who served ten years from 1800, when he resigned; Dr. Samuel Spaur Laws, former president of Westminster College, who succeeded Dr. Read, and served thirteen years from 1870; Dr. Richard Henry Jc-se, who was in office longer than any pre vious president, from 1891 until 1908; and Dr. A.
