journalism in the University Of Mis-
souri,. This should be asked, not in
the interest OF the newspaper men of
Missouri, nor in the interest OF j5ur-
nalism alone; but in the interest of
the public, of education, of all the
interests needing the care and guard
ianship of the newspapers of the
State. journalism should be placed
on a plane with the ministry, the
law and medicine. journalism
should receive the encouragement
offered agriculture, commerce, in
dustrial pursuits, etc. Young men
whose object in life is to serve in the
field of journalism should be given
an opportunity to train specially for
the work. 1t is not to be expected
that this department should instruct
in the technique of the profession,
no more than the other departments
teach lawyers how to draw a fee bill
or the physician how to take the
pulse or the respiration. But there
are great principles which should be
thoroughly inculcated into the young
prospective journalist. He should
know literature and history as well
as human nature. He should be
grounded in the art of logical rea-
souing, should know political econo-
my and sociology. He sh9Uid be
taught the great advantages of
style and individuality. He should
know the art of feeling the public
pulse, and should be taught to dis
tinguish between the necessity o
administering bitter medicine and
the time when the sugar-coated va.
riety will answer. He should be able
to know when a sword thrust is re
quired and how to give it, and whel
a word of encouragement will better
serve the purpose. He a not
learn all these things at college; but
he can be prepared to learn them
far more quickly in practical life il
he has been properly prepared at
college.
If the newspaper men will proper
~ present the matter to the legisla-
ture this winter the department of
journalism will soon be an assured
fact in Missouri, and this great State
will be among the first to feel the
benefits of an improved education
in the influential and powerful do
main of newspaperdom.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.

From the Sedalia Gazette.
In all the great schools of the
country are departments of theology,
law and medicine. The result of
these special branches of university
teaching has been to endow the va
rious professions with a peculiar dis
tinction differentiating their members
from other walks of life. Lawyers,
doctors and preachers rank far above
the average in dis inction and respect
of communities, their prerOgatives
being due not to their superior intel
their superior training and fitness for
their special work.
The Importance of the ministry,
the legal profession and medicine has
been properly recognized by all the
great schools of the land. Even ag-
riculture has its recognition, and men
are being equipped by our colleges
for more intelligent success in draw
ing from the soil greater rewards for
the labor bestowed. Mining, II
%gineering, commerce are all given
special attention. Journalism alone
lags behind all else, and is neglected
above all other OF the liberal avoca-
tons.
What a contrast is here. First in
power and influence among the pro-
fessions. Prominent and indispensa-
bic in the field Of commerce and in
dustry. Yet the men in command
of this tremendous and magnificent
force are ''~accidentsn in the parlance
of the world. To those who closely
observe the progress and events of
the world, however, they are an i'm
pressive example of Providential su-
pervision and care.
Is it not strange that such a pow
erful agency in the educational field
should have been so long neglected.
Strong, self reliant, aggressive, the
newspaper men of the world have
thought little of asking for recogni'
ton. What has come to them ha,
been incidental. They teach pur,
principles because they believe il
them and are largely governed by
them. The professionalism profess

OFFICE HOLDING.

Nathaniel Hawthorne,
An effect which ! believe to be
observable, more or less, in every
individual who has occupied the
position is, that, while he leans on
the mighty arm of the republic, his
own proper strength departs from
him. He loses, in an extent proper
toned to the weakness or force of
his original nature. the capability of

feited powers may be redeemable.
The elected oflicer--fortunate in the
unkindly shove that sends him forth
betimes to struggle amid a struggling
World-may return to himself, and
become all that he has ever been.
But this seldom happens. He usually
keeps his ground just long enough for
his own ruin, and is then thrust out,
with sinews all unstrung, to totter
along the difficult footpath of life as
he best may. Conscious of his own

and elasticity are lost,-he forever

THE TARIFF BILL.
It's Friends VIII Not Make Formal
Speeches in Its Favor

While no formal agreement has been
made to that effect. Chairman Wilson of
the committee on ways and means says
the democratic members of the committee
have expressed the opinion that ii would
be well for them to refrain from taking
part in the general debate on the tariff
bill. OF course Mr.. Wilson win open the
debate in a general statement, in accord
ance with the general understanding on
that subject.
THE members of the committee" said
Mr.. Wilson, will defend the provisions Of
the bill i'm the course of the minute debate
but they are so anxious to expedite the
passage of the bill that they will probably
not deliver formal speeches in it's support"
"Will the bill be voted on the 22dg' was
asked.
'We want to reach a vote at about that
date" was Mr.. Wilson's response. but
there are SO many contingencies which may
arise in the course of the debate that the
day for taking the vote has not been de-
termined. 1t will be about the 22d.''
Mr.. McMillin said that no course of action
had been decided upon by the members of
the committee with regard to the debate.
Il take 1t that that is a matter for indi-
vidual preference and judgment to decide"
he said. IF 1 speak it will probably be
toward the close of the debate

Representative Catchings, a member of

that no date had yet been fixed for taking

LATE NEWS BY WIRE.
Hostilities Renewed in the lewell-
ing-Lease Embroglio.
an INJUNCTION ON HER SUCCESSOR
Papers Filed in the Supreme Court
at Topeka
THE GOVERNOR SAYS.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 4.-Hostilities were
begun anew in the Llewelling-Lease i'm
broglio this morning. the governor having
persisted IN Mrs. Leases removal, regard
less of the statute which states plainly that
he has not the power to do SO.
All efforts toward effecting a compromise
have been discontinued and papers, which
have been ready since Monday. were filed
in the supreme court this morning in the
case of Mrs. Lease against j. w. Freeborn,
her would-be successor.
The court issued restraining order for
bidding Freeborn from acting or attempting
to act a member of the board and from
interfering in any way with Mrs. Leases
acting as a member of the board, or in de-
priving her of any of the rights of the Office.
Governor Lewelling said to a United Press
representative this morning that he was no
longer a party to the case. and that ii now
remained for the courts to determine wheth-
er Freeborn or Mrs. Lease was entitled to the
office. He ventured the opinion, however,
that the Injunction granted would not hold.
but qualified this assertion by saying:
There is no telling, however, what the
court will do
Mrs. Lease Is in Osawatomie today with
the board, and it is thought that service
can be obtained on Freeborn there tonight.

A DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
1t is Expected That There VIII BE n
Lively Time Tomorrow Night.

Mr.. Holman. chairman of the caucus has
issued call for democratic caucus at 8
O'Clock tomorrow night. There has been a
very strong effort made to secure the post
ponement of this caucus, but those who
signed the call insisted upon its being held,
and the present belief is that it will be
very largely attended. Ii will be a sort of
general pow-wow in which the democrats
viii talk over their differences and is Ii
able to be very lively with possibly little
result The income tax question and boun-
" question and the complaint that MEM
bers have against particular items in the
tariff bill are all expected to come I'D for
discussion and those democrats who are
dissatisfied with the tariff bill will thor
ouShly ventilate their grievances. Original
~ the sugar question was the principal
one expected to be considered, hut the in
come tax matter has aroused the eastern
democrats TO the most active antagonism
and they are very determined to press their
arguments upon the caucus.
Some democrats are Sangune enough to
believe that full and free caucus will bring
the party closer together, but the indica-
tlons appear to be that there will be a great
divergence of opinion On most of the
questions discussed and that very little of
anything VIII be accomplished.
