johnson, wrote many of the printed
speeches more from his brain than his
notes, yet, by his perseverance and un-
tiring industry, he won for Englishmen
the right-not openly acknowledged, but
tacitly conceded-of knowing how far
their representatives act up to their
promises and their principles.
The final struggle between the press
and Parliament came in III and the
battle was a dramatic one. Leading up
to it were numerous fines imposed by
Parliament for the printing of noble
mems names. On March IL, III, the
House of Commons made complaint
against several printers, six in all, for
printing the proceedings of the House.
Among these was J. Miller, of the Lon
don Evening Post. When Miller was
arrested, he appeared before the Lord
Mayor. Bass Crosby, Esq, was dis
charged on the grounds that the speak
er's warrant was illegal and had the
messenger arrested for assault. This,
together with the similar action of sew
eral other aldermen staggered the
House. A trial followed and the alder
men were committed to the Tower. The
city of London, of course. was mad!
On July %, Parliament was prorogued
\
and its power to hold the aldermen IN
durance expiring. they marched out OF
the Tower amidst the triumphant
shouts of the multitude. The House OF
Commons took its defeat and the House
of Lords accepted its example. The law
stepped in and took its place as the
power to try printers and since then
the English people have been told freely
the words and doings of the members
of Parliament.

Blasting Moves Mountain.

A whole mountain located near Pali-
SADIE, in Nevada, has been set in mo-
tion by blasting on the line of the West
ern Pacific Ranroad. Every available
section man in the employ of the South
ern Pacific Company has been set to
work trying to save the new tunnel re-.
Gently completed at a cost of sl5OOOO.
1t is believed that the company will be
compelled to abandon the tunnel and
make another route around the hill
Only few hundred feet south the
Western Pacific recently completed a
similar tunnel. The heavy b,ast;no
done in boring this tunnel apparently
has shattered the whole mountain and
it is moving.

Knockers and the Coach.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
This is not written in defense of any
one; our coach does not need defending.
His work speaks for itself.
And, students, beside this, even if
there was cause for knocking (which
most emphatically there is notl, what
is the use of knocking? Do you real
i've that if you would be loyal and not
hinder the progress of the team from
now on to Thanksgiving, YOU could put
away your hammers and talk about
something else. If you cannot say a
good word, then keep still.
Those that know our coach well
enough to say. would speak for him as
being in the front ranks. as sincere
worker, a loyal man to his men, and
careful man to work for. and last.
but far from being least, a perfect gen.
tleman.
The coaching side of his work need
not be touched upon. 1t has been
proved. Cayou, a good coach? Ger
tainly. But even if he did have light
men, they were not even in the right
place at the right time Saturday. Why!
For two reasons: First, the plays were
good; second, the men played them WELL
Too much praise cannot be given the
men for their improvement in team
work, but let us not forget that the
coach who gets all the blame for a lost
game and none of the praise for games
won. Come, let us be fair. If We can
not, then let us be quiet.
Now, all together, and help push
the Tigers over for victory Thanksgiv-
ing. Are your knockers going to let the
man you knock be more loyal than you!
If you knock him or his men, then you
are; you have lost your spirit. c.

LOVE
FOR SINGING

4 NAPOLEON has been described as
almost a music hater. A recent
writer put him at the very foot of
the list of modern rulers so far as ap-
probation or even federation Of music
was concerned. Now comes an English
denial of the slander. 1t is admitted
that the musical tastes of "the COrsican
ogre" were not elevated. But for all
that he loved singing so much that
many time after a concern he ordered
the vOcalists to come to the palace and
sing before him and the Empress Jo-
sephine. A curious anecdote is told of
his brusque manner of dealing with ar
lists. One night at concert at the
Tmleries while Duport, the famous vio-
loncellist, was performing solo, the
emperor suddenly entered. His majesty
nodded his head approvingly and when
the piece was finished said to Duport:
How the deuce do you manage to keep
that instrument so mOtiOnless!" and
taking up the cello he tried to jam it
between his spurred boots. Poor Du-
port nearly tainted when he saw his
treasure treated lik a war horse. For
several minutes he looked on, trembling
from head to foot. At last, however,
he darted forward and called out 'Sir."
in such pathetic tones that the empe-
ror handed him back the instrument.
Duport thereupon showed how the in
strument was held, but every time his
imperial master extended his hand to
attempt to do ithimself Duport threw
himself back in alarm, till finally Jo-
sephine whispered something to her hus-
band, who burst out laughing and put
an end to the cello lesson.

Dining Club Permits.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
The question of University Dining
Club meal-permits demands the imme-
date attention of those in authority.
This year, whenever permits have
changed hands, it has been invariably,
as far as the writer's observation goes,
at a premium. The Club in the second
provision of its bylaws sets forth it's
object as economy. Now, if this prin-
ciple is to be carried out in spirit as
well as in letter, it is absurd to keep
the price of board down to Sl.5O, and
yet put no regulation upon the ex-
change of permits, and suffer specula-
tiOn in them to be carried on.
The precedent established this year
is only a fOrerunner of what will fol-
low next year, now that the demand
for permits has outgrown the capacity
of the Club for accommodating them.
What is to prevent student from buy
ing two or more permits at the first of
the year, and disposing of them later
at a profit? The regulation that no
student may receive more than one per-
nit is manifestly useless when it comes
to meeting this condition of affairs.
One mans money, if not one man, could
purchase any number.
The remedy is simple; make meal
permits nOn-transferable, and if they
are to be exchanged, let it be done
through the treasurer of the University,
from whom they are bought, or through
some one appointed by the Club to serve
in this capacity, and let him see to it
that they are exchanged at their pro-
rata valuation, the only fair way.

PARLIAMENTARY NEWS.
In Auditorium

From the very beginning of newspa-
pers in England, there existed a feeling
of hostility on the part of the govern
ment. There was, perhaps, some ground
for the attitude of the government in
the nature of the early news sheets
but it's first attacks were made not sc
much upon the contents of the news
letters" and ''mercuries" as upon their
very existence. Ed Coleman Q635), the
first martyr to the cause of journalism
in England, met his death because he cir
culated his news letters, not because he
wrote them. Whatever the cause, there
early arose an enmity between the gov
ernment and newspapers, which found
one of its clearest expressions in the
struggle which the two had over the
reporting of Parliamentary news.
Originally, the accounts of proceedings
of Parliament were by the authority OF
the government, A Perfect Diurnal of
the Passages in Parliament" published
in l642, being the first weekly publica-
tiOn with this news in it. But in time
the reports became more and more elabO-
rate, and fearless. Many "Mercuries'
sprang up that published government
news and criticisms upon it without
government authority.
January %, l722, there appeared, in
the Journals of the House of Commons y
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That no writer's do
presume in their letters or other papers
that they disperse as minutes, or under
any other denomination. to intermeddle
with the debates or any other proceed
ings of the House. Resolved, also, that
no printer or publisher of any printed
newspaper do presume to insert in any
such papers any debates or any other
proceedings of this House or any COM
mittee thereof"
But, despite Parliament's efforts to the
contrary. reporters continued to write
up its doings. Edward Cave was one of
most spirited and systematic reporters.
1t was in 1863 that he began to make
Parliamentary news a special feature
of his "Gentleman's Magazine" With
the aid of two other men, he would get
the news secretly and publish it in his
paper with the initials of the speakers.
His determined efforts brought forth an
other resolution from Parliament simi-
lar to the one of 1922 But Cave had
recourse to his ingenious plan of substi-
tuting easily discernible names in "An
Appendix to Captain Gulliver's Account
of the Famous Empire of Lilliput," and
though he was brought before Parlia-
ment and reprimanded and his editor, DR..

A NEWSPAPER CREED

YAMES McCLATCHY & co. is th'
firm name of the publisher of tn
~ Sacramento Bee. Mr.. McClatch!
has put his newspaper creed into th'
following concrete form:
The Bee demands from all its writers
accuracy before anything else. Better
lose an item than make a splurge ont
day and correct it next.
Equally with that, it demands abso
lutte fairness in the treatment of news
Reports must not be cOlOred to please
friend or wrong an enemy.
Don't editorialize in the news col
umns. An accurate report is its owl
best editorial.
Don't eXaggerate. Every exaggera
tion hurts immeasurably the cause il
pretends to help.
If mistake is made it must be cor
rected. 1t is as much the duty of a
Bee writer to work to the rectifcatiOr
of wrong done by an error in an item
as it is first to use every precautior
not to allow that error to creep in.
Be extremely careful of the name
and reputation of women. Even when
dealing with the unfortunate remem'
Der that so long as she commits nc
crime other than her own sin against
chastity she is entitled at least to pity
Sneers at race or religion or physi,
cal deformity, will not be tolerated
''Dago," "NIick," ''Sheeny," even ''Chink'
or Jap" these are absolutely forbid
den. This rule of regard for the feelings
of others must be observed in every
avenue of news. under any and all con-
ditiOns.
There is time for humor and there
is a time for seriousness. The Bee
likes snap and ginger at all times. 1t
will not tolerate flippaney on serious
subjects on any occasion.
The furnisher of an item is entitled
to hearing for his side at all times,
not championship. If the latter is
ever deemed necessary, the editorial
department will attend to it.
Interviews given the paper at the
papers request are to be considered
immune from sneers or criticism.
In every accusation against public
official or private citizen, make every
effort to have the statement of the ac-
cused given prominence in the original
item.
In the case of charges which are not
ex-officio or from public source. it is
better to lose an item than to chance
the doing of a wrong.
Consider the Bee always as a tri-
bunal that desires to do justice to all;
that fears far more to do injustice to
the poorest begger than to clash
swords with wealthy injustice.

Straining After Society.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Half the strainers in society are an
abomination. They strive and strain
every nerve to the bursting point, just
to put on one more ruffle and think
that dress will take them through the
world. Such petty aristocracy is dis
gusting to the truly aristocratic. The
real society woman looks down on them.
They really do not deceive anyone ex-
eept maybe few upstarts of their own
class. The worst part of this is, that
they think they are better than the gen.
eral run of mankind. However no one
is deceived but themselves. Sad to say
the University of Missouri is greatly
Overrun with such creatures.

ELIOT AND MORSE

@HARLES w. MORSE, recently con-
victed of misapplication of funds
and sentenced to serve fifteen
years in prison, and Charles W. Eliot.
who recently resigned as president OF
Harvard College, were contrasted in their
lives and examples by President VIII
liam Dewitt Hyde in a talk to the stu
dents of Bowdoin College in Brunswick.
Me-, recently. President Hyde said, in
part:
Besides the election the week has
brought two events of notable signif-
canoe the conviction of Charles W.
Morse and the resignation of Charles W.
Eliot. You could not get q greater con-
trast, than the lives of these two men
one built on the sands of selfshness, the
other built on the rock of faithful ser.
vice.
Fifteen years in prison is the logical
and fit conclusion of a career of getting
as much as possible, regardless of how
one gets it or whom one gets it out Of
The gratitude and admiration of the
American people is the appropriate re-
ward of forty years of brave, patient,
arduous, devoted work. The world ia
the poorer and business is the more pre.
carious for the schemes of a man like
Morse.
In elementary, secondary, collegiate
graduate, legal, medical, theological and
practical education, in industry. busi.-
ness, government, morals, we are all
richer, safer, happier and nobler for the
work of President Eliot.
when he came to Harvard in 1865. II
was little more than a country school.
Even in the courses in science the work
was laid down to learn so many pages
of some textbook. We all know what
Harvard College has become under his
influence and how his influence has
spread. As the result of the labors of
President Eliot hundreds have had a
better education.
His work has not been entirely con-
fined to Harvard. He has liberated ele-
mentary schools from the old system of
learning pages of useless dates and facts.
He has studied relations between capital
and labor and become a champion of
right. He studied municipal government,
he has had a powerful influence in morals
everywhere, he has made himself felt as
a power for good. He lays down the
duties of the office with the gratitude
of the whole American people"
President Hyde also told of President
Eliot's work in upbuilding the courses of
the medical, law, and theological schools,
the improvements made there, and in
closing went back to his comparison of
Morse and Eliot in these words:
''Self fforgetful devotion and unscru.
pulOus selishness are the inner attitudes
whose outward marks are fame and in
fanny"

I TITLE snatch of ancient song
What has made thee live SO longi
Flying on thy wings of rhyme
Lightly down the depths of time,
Telling nothing strange or rare,
Scarce thought or image there,
Nothing but the old, old tale

Offspring of an idle hour,
Whence has come thy lasting power,
BY what term of rhythm or phrase,
BY what subtle careless grace,
Can thy music charm our ears

LANDMARKS of the human mind

One by one are left behind,
And a subtle change is wrought
In the mould and cast of thought;
Modes of reasoning pass away,
Types of beauty lose their sway;
Creeds and causes that have made
Many noble lives must fade.
And the words that thrilled of old
Now seem hueless, dead, and cold;
Fancy's rainbow tints are flying,
Thoughts, like men, are slowly diving;
All things perish, and the strongest
Often do not last the longest;
Ihe stately ship is seen no more,
The fragile skiff attains the shore;
And while the great and wise decay,
And all their trophies pass away,
Some sudden thought, some careless
rhyme,
Stlii floats above the wrecks of Time.

song, isn't the only country success.
Thre are other town achievements
coming to notice, and the most recent
was the "wuxtra" edition of the Uni
versity Missourian Saturday afternoon.
The MissOurian extra was q demon
stration to the class in journalism in
the State University. It was a success
in more ways than being a practical les
son to the class. Here's about the way
it was handled.
Reporters of the School of Journalism
were on the gridiron staff, photographer
and all. In the grand stand, shut of
from the general tumult of the game
and its buzzing auditors, an expert foot
ball man of the Missourian staff, sat in
soundproof booth with a direct wire
into the composing room of the printing
office downtown. The play was called
to the man at the telephone as the ex-
perts watched the game through glass
door in their booth.
At the other end of the wire in the
Missourian's composing room, another
man sat with telephone headgear, talk
ing the "story" off into the ear of a
linotype operator. Others were making
up the page as fast as line was cast,
and five minutes after the game was
over. boys sold the papers to the crowd
returning from the field.-St. Louis Star
