Charged With Professionalism
BY the Texas Eleven.

eIsal Nature.

Columbia, Mo, Jan. 14.-Serious
charges of professionalism have been
made against the Missouri foot ball
team which recently made a trip
through old Mexico without the facul-
tvs consent
The complaint comes from the Uni
versity of Texas, whose team was beat
en- 10 to 0 by the Missouri Tigers J. E.
Hill, editor of the Alcalde, the organ of
the Texas university. writes:
Two foot ball players who accompa-
MED the Missouri team and played
against our eleven were not students
of the University of Missouri, but
to strengthen a team already strong
BUckhOltz was a student of the Kan
sas City medical school. Lewis is a
member of the All Western team He
was formerly student of the Missouri
State university, but since severing his
connection with that team has played
with various athletic clubs. He merely
played with Missouri lately for the sake
of the trip and expenses. Tucker, the
regular Missouri full back, claims that
he once received IS and expenses to
play in a game at Sedalia- We pre-
Sumed when the captain of the MiSSou-
ri team lined his men against US that
he captained what everyone had a right
to expect, amateur players, and more
particularly students of the University
of Missouri.
THE students here feel indignant
that our generous confidence in the
thorough craftsmanship of the Missou-
rians was betrayed We stand defeat
without a Whimper, and there is
strong sentiment here in favor of push
ing up these ugly statements, which
say enough for themselves to need no
characterization from this source. 1t
can cause no bitterness among the Tex
ans to admit that our team would not
have a word to say except that this
game can scarcely be gratifying victo-
ry TO the lovers of clean amateur sport
in the Missouri State university. The
home people have different ideas about
amateur sport and its real purposes.
The faculties of some are too blunt for
the refined sentiment of a fair contest
between gentlemen, before the love of
sport alone. This idea precludeS any
sort of emolument whatever 1t is the
struggle for the laurel wreath"

ty commissioners the right to drain
swamp lands in any part of the county.
1t has been said that the drainage
of certain portions of the county might
seriously affect the supply of water at
Eakeview, but Mr.. Henley says his bill
is not intended to interfere in any
manner with the Lakeview property,
and will not do so. The bill carries no
appropriation.
1t is not improbable, however, that
the passage of this bill might in the
future be responsible for a fight on the
Lal1eview stockholders and an effort to
drain the lake. The bill gives the COM
missioners absolute power to act. Some
of the farmers adjoining the Lakeview
property have complained that the vi
entity is unhealthy by reason of the
standing water and it is believed that
the hidden intention of the bill is to
get the lake and surrounding low lands
drained.

The Looting of the State House as
Usual by Outgoing Administration.

rooms of the senate chamber today it
was found that the furniture purchased
for those rooms two years ago was

directed the sergeant-at-arr,s to pur-
chase furniture and fixtures for the
various committee rooms, which was
done; and,
Whereas, There was a resolution
passed instructing the sergeant alarms
to take charge of and brand said prop
erty and it now seems that said prop
erty cannot be found; therefore be 1T
Resolved That the sergeant-at- arTns,
together with two janitOrs of his choice.
be hereby empowered to inquire and If
possible procure said furniture and
make a report as soon as possible of all
missing property and its whereabouts.
After reading his resolution Senator
when We came into this senate four
years ago, it was found that the commit

A PENNY WISE POLICY.
False Idea of Economy Makes the
Senate Go Skimping Along.

There is one fault to be found with
the present organization of the senate,
and this is the limited number Oh Jour
nal clerks But three clerks are now
employed whereas at past sessions of
the legislature there has never been less
than five, with a stenoGrapher to assist
them. 1t is simply impossible for the
three clerks to take care of the bills as
they are introduced. and it is only
question OF short time until they are
completely showed under. a ruling was
made this morning that the clerks
should first enter the bills and other
communication before members of the
press were allowed to see them. In this
way a hardship is worked on the press,
especially on the evening papers. This
matter might as we'll be remedied now
by the appointment of two additional
clerks, as it will be found that their
help will become absolutely necessary
later on.

St Louis, Jan IA special from
Wichita, Kan, says a destructive fire
ragged in the city of KinSfsher. Ok, last

of the buildings consumed are located
on the main business street of the city.
The city has practically no water

originated the recent South Enid fires
and Kingfisher people believe this fire
was started by the same parties.
