BUILDING BIG
new MILL FOR
SEVEN TROUGHS

Tile Seven Troughs News says: The
first consignment of lumber for the
Harris-Demarest mill arrived on the
ground on Thursday. The carpenters
who have been awaiting the arrival
of material are expected in within a
few days ard the work of putting up
the building will be carried on ag-
gressively. d. H. Shea, who has de-
signed most of the machinery and
who will superintend its installation
has been in San Francisco for the
past ten days assembling the different
parts SO there will be no delay in
shipment when the building is ready
for the machinery. c. S. Floyd, bust
ness manager of the company, when
asked II the mill would be ready on
time stated that because all of the
machinery is not now on the ground
is no cause for thinking there will be
any delay.
He said, 'Messrs Harris. Demarest
and Skea are all busy getting every
thing in readiness on the coast and at
the proper time the shipments will be
made and man will be put in
charge of the machinery SO that there
will be no delay in transit. The mill.
when finished will be one of the most
complete in its appointments in the
state. When it is realized that the
first cost will approximate $4,000,
some conception can be had of its
completeness. E
A feature of the new mill will be
the cyanide plant No other mill in
the district has this equipment, ali
of the others depending on plates and
tables to catch all of the values. II
is the belief of Mr.. Skea that in a
very short time the ores here will re-
quire other treatment and in his
opinion much of the ore could be
treated more satisfactorily by cyanid
ing at the present time.
The building for the Huntington
mill is almost completed. All of the
foundations for the machinery are in
and the heavy pieces are in place.

SARDOU

1t is an older generation of playgOers
and an older order of theater managers
who will most regret the death of Sar-
dou. The vogue of the Sardou play has
for some time been on the wane. A
new public has new dramatic ideals and
standards. and the quarter of a century
since Daniel Rochat' and Fedora -
which has brought Ibsen and Shaw on
the boards and has heard the changes
rung on the problem play" inevitably
relegated Sardou to the background.
But what modern playwright has so
long exercised his charm over audiences
as SardOu: His plays were sure guar
antee of box-ofiice receipts to managers.
and the fame of more emotional ac-
tresses was bound up in his roles than
is true of any other recent dramatic
author. What one of his contempora-
ries could boast so large an output of
marketable drama?
The SardOu drama is in no sense lit
erature. 1t is doubtful if solitary
passage remains in popular memory. a
single epigram. He was a playwright
in whom the acting possibilities of the
play and the demands of stage manage
ment We're always uppermost. He was
in sense the Dumas pere of the French
stage. adapting to dramatic needs the
skill in portraying human action and
human motive on historical back
ground which distinguishes the great
master of romantic fiction and showing
parallel gift in the creation of sit
mations of intense interest.-New York

WANTED-ARMY OFFICERS.

According to late report from the
War Department. the army is sadly in
need of officers and every opportunity is
heinm offered in order that the existing
vacancies may be filled. 1t is not gen
orally known that it is comparatively
an easy matter to secure Il commission
in the various branches of the service
without going through West Point; and
TO this end the War Department is send
ing out letters giving full information as
to the requirements.
The requirements demanded are. that
the applicant be physically, morally and
mentally qualified in order to grace the
coveted shoulder straps. There are two
ways. besides through the military
academies by which the rank of Second
Lieutenant may he attained. The easi-
est way is to enlist as private and
serve two years in the regular army and
then take an examination and go up
from the ranks"
Any man of fair ability and possess
ing a good high school education with
the proper preparation can pass the ex-
animation.
The second way is by civilian appoint
ment. Each year the Secretary of War
designates men to compete for the
vacancies that may be open after the

The Use of Titles.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Sometime ago the University of Chi
cago decided that its members should
be called plain Mister" making pos
sible exceptions in the case of Doctors
of Divinity and Doctors of Medicine.
Possibly in time these, too, will be
eliminated. Other universities adopted
or followed up the idea. At any great
graduate university the title Phi. D..
means no more than does a Colonel in
Kentucky. Doctors of Philosophy are
so common there the title carries with
it little honor unless there is achieve
ment behind it. No real man needs a
title.
This wholesale use of titles has be-
come sign of the cOlloquial univer-
sity. To dub the instructor, who is
Just out of college, doctor or professor
makes a joke of the title as well as
the man. This is an especially COM
mon method of grating among Fresh
men. If the big men have discarded
the handles to their names except for
the catalogue, it is certainly ridiculous
for the little man who is not titled to
allow such empty flattery. Any man
who is afraid to discard his title has
not much faith in his personality or
ability. NJ. P.

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

The First National Bank of Fort
Scott, known throughout Kansas as
Grant Hornaday's bank has closed
its doors. The bank has lost in de-
posits since the panic of last year.
There was a run on the bank for
two days, which necessitated the clos
ing of the doors. Announcement was
made to depositors. that so per cent
of the dividends would be paid by
January /, and the balance in three
or four months. Only the stockhold-
ers, it is said, will lose anything.
Grant Hornaday was a banker-pol-
itician and is prominent man
throughout Kansas. He has been
mentioned" several times as a can
didate for governor, and was a can
didate for Congress several years
ago. He was always known as a
member of the machine Horna-
day has lived in Kansas since 1876.
He has done much for the town of
Fort Scott, it being full of "Horna-
days Institutions" The failure of his
bank has caused much surprise in
that section of the country.

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
The palm garden on the north end
of the second floor of Academic Hall
is getting to be as popular as the cam
pus or Balance Rock for the inevitables
of the University. The Horticultural
men did not realize what a nice cOzy
corner they were shutting off when
they placed the plants there In cold
er weather it will be still more popular
and as it is small place an addition
might be necessary. A few nice pill
lows would be appreciated. as well as
several fOOtstOOls for the higher win
dows on either side The floor might
be carpeted with few rugs, also. but
this would add more to looks than
comfort. The enthusiasm of the cam
pus club will wane when the bitter
blasts sweep around the corners of the
buildings and freeze the delicate street
trotters. Some provision must be made
for them and this would be about
the cheapest plan possible.

Pixies Peak Forget-Me-Nots.

The job of Pixies Peak flower girl
is no joke. Just now peachy checked
Dorothy Converse is filling the post, and
she expects that she will be able to
wind up the season, although two prede
cessors have already this season yielded
up the assignment, owing to the effects
OF living SO high up in the world.
Up, away up, $4,000 feet, on the very
top of Pixies Peak, six or eight species
OF flowers are rarely found and then
leading starved existence among the
rocks. But about $500 feet lower the
mountain wears a dotted blue and green
veil, a gracious thing, deliciously per-
TUNED, and just like Pixies Peak for
-me-nOts, and no edelweiss is more
attractive, except for accumulated SEN
timent.
AT the last water station below the
summit Dorothy boards each ascending
train with small shallow oval basket,
filled with a solid blue mass.
Pixies Peak forget me -nots, Is cents
bunch, two for a quarter" she cries.
Instantly all the honeymoOners have
visions of themselves sealing all quanti-
ties Of affection by gathering the blue
bits on the peak, and Dorothy's busi-
ness isn't SO heavy as when, on the
descending trains, the sentimentalists,
having secured the summit vainly buy
up her stock.
The Pixies Peak forget me- not looks
like its common sister, only it is deeper
blue, as becomes flower living nearer
the blue skies. But its perfume that
doesn't come from the skies. It's per-
fume is it's charm. At once the Whit
brings cry of arbutus-only the odof
Is stronger. Then after a dozen smells
one distinguishes an odor as if of niec-
tine, and this blend of faint Tobacco
with stronger arbutus is weirdly fas-.
cinating.
Oh'il the perfumer perpetuates it ne
mas something to live for The Pixies
Peak forget-me-not crouches close to the
soil, and in the height of its season,
when the lights are just right, one be-
ileves the blue of the skies is still IN

The Honor System.

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
Can it be that the differences are in
nate which enable the honor system to
flourish in the southern colleges and
universities and fail in the north and
west? Back of the honor system is
a high chivalry which demands re-
spect between man and man. Any
other system of examination is an in
suit to self respect. Is it that there is
a lack of chivalry in the north and
west? The main objection to the hon
or system is the conflict between the
loyalty to the individual and loyalty
to the institution. But the standard
of the university can be no higher than
the standard of the individual. The
honor system is process of wedding
the anti-social individual out of the
college community. This system has
been practical in many places, but
Princeton is the only northern college
to adopt it successfully.
The only practical way to introduce
the honor system is to start it in the
grade schools. 1t will necessarily fail
when it is begun with Freshmen as
they enter college or university and
when the sentiment does not thor
oughly support it. They can have no
conception of what it means, but if
they have cOnfOrmed to it in the Gram
mar and High Schools they will be sat
isfed with no other system. Judge
Lindsay says that he finds this method
practical in his dealing with the street
arabs of Denver and these small boys
have the strongest code of personal
loyalty of any clan.
The honor system has never proved
successful in women's col
leges or cO-educational schools where
there are many women. This is large
" because women are too often ruled
by their emotions and sentiments to
look at anything in an impersonal way.
"Oh. / would not tell on any one"
is the attitude of most women in re-
gard to this system. not realizing their
duty and part in the creation OF pub
lie sentiment.
The fraternity system is the greatest
enemy to the honor system. Many
fraternity has kept swift and just pun
ishment from falling on the head of
one of its members, thus losing the
most important thing about the sys-
TENTS absolute impartiality.

THE UNIVERSITY BAND.

The students of the University OF
too much in praise of the band. Other
universities may have better football
teams, better departments, finer build
ings, but not one in the United States
can boast of having as good a band
Even the best Military schools in the
world, West Point and Annapolis. were
forced to concede to Missouri the honor
of leading in this particular.
When the cadets went to the James
town Exposition they We're forced to
compete with the best trained cadets
in the country and were naturally not
quite so finished in their work. But
when our band made its appearance
"the stuff was all Off" Other bands
gave up in Encouragement and their
instruments We're locked up in the
cases, not to appear again until the
standard of competition was not so
high.
The band is not fairly good; it is
very good. 1t is one of the best in the
middle west and plays music which
few bands will undertake. Its thirty
five pieces make volume of music
which is inspiring and when speeches
fail to arouse enthusiasm. just turn the
band loose on Dixie" No Freshman
is fully impressed with the reverence
which is due ''Od Missouri" until the
majestic strains of the band playing
that refrain bring every man, woman
and child to their feet.
And the band does good. Eleven
sweating, painting, and Oftimes bleed
waiting for the passing of the bali to
set in motion that plunging, charging,
fighting mass. Perhaps the struggle
is desperate and defeat or victory de-
pcnds on the next few downs, and
maybe the men are weak and exhaust
ed by long, hard playing. Bitterness.
or weakness, or possibly despair creeps
into the heart of some poor man on
whom the play depends; and he weak
ems. Then is the time when the band
wins games for the thrilling ring of
some stirring air goes straight from
his ears to his heart and inspires his
very soul with new life: the ball is
passed to him and he plunges with
superhuman strength through hole in
the line and fighting irresistibly, he
and the band carry the ball over the
line for the winning score.

King Victor Emanuel, of Italy, is
the one sovereign in the world who
has never had a debt. His expenses,
however are enormous. He hands over
100000 a year to his mother, and
keeps up from eight to ten palaces,
and is paying off the debt of an ex-
travagant father, and a still more ex-
travagant grandfather.
Victor Emanuel holds the theory
that while the country is poor, her
sovereign should pay off debts. He
abhorred the idea of pawning his jew
els should he get in debt so he there
fore decided to cut down expenses.
He disposed of one hundred head of
horses that were at the Quirinal pal
ace, eating much and doing little,
and kept only those that were needed
for royal use. In addition to this, he
discharged several cooks, and the
queen has to wear the same gowns
and hats as many as three times.
Certainly this kind of a king will
never leave his country bankrupt.

$3.50 to $1,000 for few days use of
it by getting in touch at once with
students of the University OF Missouri

The railroads have declined to make
an excursion rate between Columbia
and Kansas City for the Thanksgiving
Day football game between Missouri
and Kansas. So 300 Columbia students
have decided to go to Kansas City BY
water, if they can get a boat. They
are willing to pay $3.50 apiece.
There is no ship canal into Colum-

Journalism expects to start crusade
for one in its paper, the University

students plan to take the boat at Nc

As there are no lights on the Mis-.

When the Queen of Spain recently
announced her intention of prohibit

ed herself on sea of troubles. This
national sport of the Latin countries
is so inherent in the people that it
would be impossible to put an end
to it. Without the great "Corrida de
Toros" life to the average Spaniard
would be uninteresting and BORE
At every bull-fight at least five
bulls are killed and sometimes as
many horses. The crowds go wild
with enthusiasm when the "mata-
DOR" with a clever thrust puts an
end to the enraged bull. The cham
pion matador of Spain was killed
in Mexico last year, and the head of
the bull that killed him was placed
in store window in the business
district. 1t attracted so great a crowd
that traffic was for a time stopped.
Bull-fighting can no more be pro-
hibited in these countries than can
football in our own country. 1t was
tried in the City of Mexico and failed,
and now the government is building
the largest bull ring in the world in
that city. 1t could no more be stopped
in Spain than it could in Mexico
The Queen is attempting one of the
most unpopular changes that could be
possible.
