Dormit0ries for Girls.
To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
There should be a larger dOrmitOry
for the University girls. Read Hall is
the only one We have and this only
accommodates twenty eight of the
hundreds of girls i'm the University of
Missouri. Provision is made for a
great number of the boys and they
have both Benton and Lathrop Hall.
1t is much more necessary to take care
of the girls, for the boys can hustle
for themselves-and it doesn't make so
much difference where they stay any
how. But girls room is her home.
A young Freshman girl comes into
town for the first time, scared to death.
She is willing to 60 anywhere just so
she gets in somewhere, and is thankful
to have a place to lay her head and cry
off her homesickness. Everything de-
pends upon the start a girl gets in
University and some provision should
be made to accommodate more of the
girls. COED.

A CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION.

Some folks say they don't like
Christmas. but they do. Everybody in
the world likes Christmas: from the
grOuchy. old. Office worn. bOokkeeper to
the little pickaninny who gets few
second hand toys from the family her
whose stihed mother instinct finds Joy
in giving to neighbOrs children. to
the blushing sweetheart whose roman
tic heart is enraptured at the gift OF
her lover; from the mother who. in
spite of her complaints of the buffeting
of the crowded shops, finds keen delight
in selecting toy to satisfy her re-
markable six-year- sons mechanical
taste. and a doll for her little daughter
who is, at the age of eight years. as
sweet and motherly as if an angel
controlled her very thoughts: from this
mother to the children who believe in
Santa Claus and see him in their
dreams for weeks before Christmas.
Christmas gifts! Why. they are
worthy of the day which is devoted to
their giving. Who can deny that he
likes to receive gifts. and how emf
nently unfit to be allowed to partake
in Christmas festivities is he who does
not find keen joy in giving them. So
much trouble to find what to give!
Yes, but what delightful trouble; like
the pangs of the little boys first love
affair when he lays at night unable to
sleep, SO eXcruciating are the pangs
which tug at his heart strings. but
what other pleasure is half as delight
full as those pangs?
Good times? Why. just to walk
down the streets and pass the houses
with holly adorned windows is having
a fine time; isn't it fun to shop with
the holiday crowds and force your way
through groups of people with loaded
arms to counter covered with shining
tin monkeys, and bright green parrots,
and fuzzy dogs and pick out the one
that the baby will like best? No. it
isn't all fun. not quite all. for our
pleasure is dimmed at times as We
move down the slushy walks after day
light has sped and the shop windows
are resplendent with galy cOlored toys
and shining, shimmering, decorations
by the knowledge that everybody can
not be as happy as We are. There. in
front OF this attractive window filled |
with toys, are two little urchins. one |
a boy probably eight years old. and one
a little girl three years younger. The |
little fellow is ragged and his torn !
stockings and half laced shoes are pa
thetically thin and the contrast is bit |
terly vivid with the shimmering furs |
of the lady standing next him. A wisp |
of tow colored hair hangs over his |
dirty forehead and his yellow shock is
visible around the heavy cotton cap
drawn over. his ears. One red, rough |
hand is stuffed in his pocket and the |
other holds that of his little sister who .
is swathed in dingy. greenish. brown

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

The selection of Philander C. Knox
as secretary of state in Taft's cabinet
meets with the approval of most peo-
pie. Mr.. Knox made an excellent rec
ord as attorney general under Presi
dent Roosevelt is regarded as one
of the ablest lawyers in the United
States. Besides this fact there is the
diplomatic ability of Mr.. Knox. The
new secretary of state is mixer" of
the highest type and with his shrewd
skill in handling people, will doubtless
make a success in his new and impOr
tant Office. Mr.. Knox will succeed Eli
hu Root, who is considered generally
to be one of the best men who have
headed the presidential cabinet.
Judge Jones, sitting at Union, Tenn,
in the case of the night riders charged
with the murder of Captain Rankin a
few months ago, has issued an edict
that none of the ministers of the city
refer to the case in their pulpits while
it is on trial. Similar orders have been
issued to the Tennessee papers in re-
gard to printing testimony in the case,
the avOwed purpose of the orders being
to prevent the stirring up of strife.
Whether a Judge has the right to thus
bottle up the press of an entire state
and the ministers of city, would seem
on the face of it to be doubtful
question. That agitation i'm the news
papers and from the pulpits aggravates
an already strong public sentiment is
undoubtedly true. But the means the
Tennessee Judge has taken seems to be
il direct abrid.ment of the rights of
the pulpit and the press. either of
which has a right to be heard at any
and all times. on any and all subjects.
Judge Berry Thurmand. in the cir
cult court at Warrensburg Mo-. has
handed down decision to the effect
that there is no law in Missouri pro-
hibiting members of the Christian Sci
ence Church from healing. or attempt
ing to heal. after their own methods |
The question has long been a mOoted
one and was hOtly contested in the
courts at Warrenshurg.
