BRING Closer Together.

To the Editor OF the University Missourian:
Something should he devised 10 bring
the students and faculty more closely
together All the student secs is the
professor in the class room. The stu
dents do not know some professors at
all and some students 90 through this
inStitut ion without meeting half of the
instructors. There would be more in
terest taken in the work and in the
school itself il they were brought into
closer relations. \ personal interest
would be manifest and one would feel
tina, he had some tie besides IA mere edu-
ational one There j. no existing con
ditions that will give the student Il
chance Ia meet all the faculty. Some
sort of social intercourse. if established.
would not only add interest but pleas
ure 10 the school life. 1t is beneficial
to the student Just to get To mix with
and talk to such learned people a some
on the faculty are. 1t is an education
in itself They can tell in few sen
tcnces what it will take you Years To
learn for yourself. They have already
been there and know.
Most of them are not mere machines
Of knowledge aS some seem to think.
They unbend and are As interested in
things. events and people as the stu
dent himself. What is the Professor
after all but an older student, Faculty
and student should pull together both
in and out OF school.

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

No deep waterway at this session
of congress-" was the semi official re-
port sent out from Washington yes
terday. or in other words. Congress will
take no action during this session on
the Lakes-to- -the-Gulf deep waterway
proposition. Thus it seems that all the
efforts which have been made by the
citizens of the Mississippi Valley. look
ing toward consideration of this all
important question at the present ses-
sion of Congress has come to naueht.
Outside of the tariff question the
Lakes to- the Gulf canal is the most i'm
portant piece of legislation before the
American people. To the people of the
Mississippi Valley it is the ailabsorb-
ing question. The great population of
this. the greatest agricultural region
i'm the world. is more interested in a
canal that will enable them to send
their farm products to markets cheaply.
than they are in the tariff question.
What they want is a channel down the
Mississippi and tributary rivers that
canal when it is finished. that will en-
able them to reach the future markets
of the world. as soon as they are open
ed to them. Various reasons are ad
vanced for this pOstponement Of the
waterway question. The present low
condition Of the United States Treas
ury is urged as a vital reason. the deep
waterway question should he embodied
in special bill and not included in
the Rivers and IIarborS Bill is another
reason: the lower portion OF the Mis-

C. W. A. RECEPTION
The Committee is Preparing 10
 Entertain a Large Party.

The Catholic Women's association held a meeting last evening. This is the first meeting held in some time, the pressure of other matters having crowded out the regular monthly meetings, and consequently there was large attendance and much en- thusiasm manifested over the coming reception.

The classes were well attended and will be continued this term with the ex- ception of the afternoon art class, which 1t was found necessary to drop, the members to be accommo- dated in the evening classes.
 The topic of discussion last evening was the leap year party, which will be given Jan uary 31 in City hall.

THAT s4,0oO OFFER
Attorneys For West Main Street
 Victims Will Confer.

The offer of the railroad company to pay $4,000 to the estate of each of those who were killed in the troll ley disaster on the West Main street crossing recently has not been yet considered by the lawyers in the cases. As $5.000 is the utmost that could be received from the company even if jury found the cause of the accident to be gross negligence on the part of the company, which is extremely doubtful, and as it would entail considerable expense to go to law, it is very probable that the offer will be accepted. In the cases of those who have been injured the circumstances and the law are differ ent, for there the compensation would be awarded according to the earning capacity of the injured party, allowing, as in the case of instan- taneous death, that the railroad com pany were found responsible. The lawyers, it is reported, who have death claims against the company will hold conference before reply is given

THE KlNDREGAN SUIT
Commissioners Are Looking Into
 Inc Claims To-Day.

Attorneys McMahon and Seery
 this afternoon had a hearing on the
 claim of the Riverside Cemetery as- sociation for $500 against the estate of the late Joseph w. Kndregan. Having left no will MT Kindregan
 made no provision, it seems, for the care which the family burial plot in Riverside has been given. There is another claim against the estate which may cause some difficulty. MT Kindregan gave orders to marble cutter to draw up a design for a tombstone. When MT Kindregan saw the draft he was astonished to see not only the name of his wife, deceased, on it, but also his own. He became furious at the idea of having his name on his tombstone before he was entitled to that last honor and shooed the marble cutter and his de- sign out of his presence. The cut ter's claim is for the time he expend- ed on making ,he drawing of the monument. .
