ATHLETICS BENEFITED
BY NEW CONFERENCE
in Missouri Valley Now Have
Cleaner Sport and Better Rules. Eliminating
"Ringers" and Professionals from Games.

letics, the rules provide that: All game
must be played on grounds immediatel.
under the control of one or both schools
taking part. The election of captain.
and managers must be with the approx
al of the committee on athletics in eacl
school. No football game shall b.
played with any team which does moi
represent an educational institution
nor may games be scheduled with any
high school, academy, or Independent
professional school. Freshman football
teams may play only with teams OF
their own school.
Not more than half of the expenses OF
a training table may be paid by the
athletic management and the sum paid
must not exceed $4OO. All expenses
must be officially audited. Legitimate
expenses are: Part of training table
costs, expenses for travelling, uniforms,
shoes, and other articles of clothing;
medical expenses, and the cost of in
expensive souvenirs for players and the
payment of coaches and rubbers.
No arrangement seems to have been
made for baseball paraphernalia.
Professionals Barred.
No student shall receive remuneration
for playing and none may play who
have been paid for participation in any
athletic contest nor may anyone play
under an assumed name. Further, no
student shall represent his university
in an athletic event if, either during
the school term or vacation, he rep
resents any other athletic organization.
All "eligibles' must be bona fide stu
dents who have passed entrance and
Freshman year requirements and who
are taking successfully at least ten
hours work. If student fails in one
department and ''1ops" to another, he
is not eligible for one year. No stu
dent can take part in athletics for more
than three years in the aggregate. If
a student drops out of school without
having attended full, half year, he
must on his return attend six consecu-
tive calendar months before becoming
eligible.
This set of regulations is not held
I'D as a model. Perhaps it is not even
the best possible under the circum-
stances. But, to get the college ath-
letics of this section of the country
on a mutually agreed-upon, working
basis is. a big step in the right direction,
even if the agreement is only of fac
ulty representatives.

WHAT OF EDUCATION

And God created man
Male and female created he them y
We believe that the Lord made no mis-
take in this much of his great work
of creation. We believe that He wisely
placed both boys and girls in the same
family. He intended that they should
play together and associate one with
the other. They are suitable compan-
ions and one supplements the life of
the other.
What then shall We say of co-educa-
ton? We believe in it. 1t has a sof
tening influence on the boy. He is more
guarded in his speech, more respectful
in his manner, more careful in his
dress and more earnest in his work.
He keeps in closer touch with civiiiza-
tion, for where is there any civilization
without woman? He will work more in
the class room and strive harder on the
football field. What will he not do to
win the smile of approval from some
lady fair?
Ii he should steal some hour from
class for little chat with winsome
FRESHMAN girl on the third floor, that
time is not wasted. There is more in
life than textbook and laboratory. He
becomes better acquainted with cult
waited women and can better select the
mistress of his future home.
But what of the coed? Segregated
in women's colleges a girl gets boy
struck" ANY kind of a coat rack may
furnish her diversion and amusement
She often resorts to tricks and decep-
lions to obtain a few moments of a
boys company. She can make no claim
of any friends but thinks any will do
for the present. She becomes a flirt.
How different it is in a mixed school.
She has friends of both sexes She Sc
lects and rejects. She will be conven
tional for both boys and girls demand
it. She. likewise, has an incentive to
study, and will neglect no assigned duty
To write some good for nothing a
midnight love letter. She is thrown
more on her own responsibility and de-
velops strength of character so useful
in later life. She can study men and
make a wiser selection of a husband.
We believe in co-education because
it has proven successful. 1t is the best
way to develop manhood and woman
hood.

GONE doubt has been expressed as to
the utility or necessity of special
- education for the profession Of
journalism. The Quakers have always
had doubts as to the propriety of any
special, or peculiar education being
necessary for the ministry, the spirit
being able to speak through the hum
blest citizen to his fellow man. In law
and in medicine special culture, or at
least aptness for the profession, have
long been expected from their votaries.
As culture brOadens and the world
grows relatively small and readily ac-
cessible to all, it is becoming manifest
that the person contemplating jour
nalistic life can make his path thereto
and his entry therein with far greater
degree of economy of effort and with a
far greater probability of final success
if he has had some more special prep
aration along that line than has at
tached to such ventures in the past,
where thousands have failed because of
their attempting something of which
they did not possess the slightest CLEAN
of knowledge. Trade schools, technical
schools of all kinds, our so-called nor
NAL schools, for teaching teachers, our
military schools for teaching soldiers,
our religious schools for teaching
preachers, all demonstrate the appre-

That Street Sweeper.
To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
An excellent example of how far
wrong a good thing may go was af-
forded few nights ago on Hit street,
just south of Broadway. The street
sweeping machine was at work there,
and turned just as man and woman.
the woman attired in white. passed
along the narrow walk.
The sweeper was throwing Il volume
of dust waist high. With a fence bar
ring one side of the narrow walk.
there was no escape for the couple. The
woman gave scream and the man
made an Intellectual attempt to leap
out of reach of the dust bath. while
the negro driving the sweeper guffawed
in unrestrained mirth.
Sweeping the streets is good thing.
but when residents of Columbia must
thus pay for it, it becomes somewhat
expensive. Is there street commits
sioner here, to look after such things :?

HOW ABOUT TARIFF
BRYAN ASKS CROWD
"And if Roosevelt Couldn't
Jail Trust Magnates,
Can Taft?"
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Lilly, Chairman of the Randolph Count!
committee.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for forty five min
utes. He said, in part:
I'VE are in the midst of a campaign
the platforms have been written, the
sons sprained ankle in shape for his
best play, and even with the redoubta
literature is being circulated and the
candidates are on the stump. l say can
didates,' twelve years ago / had to use
the singular, but the Republicans rec.
ognize that it is not undignifed for a
Presidential candidate to appear before
the people. So the sin they accused
me of twelve years ago has become a
virtue by imitation.
Some Republican Logic.
Twelve years ago they charged that
if 1 was elected there would be panic.
They based their charge on the fact that
there was a panic in 1893, when Dem
ocrat was President. and they said be-
cause the President was Democrat the
panic was Democratic and if another
Democratic President were elected there
would be another Democratic panic.
AT that time the Republican can
didate was put forward as the advance
agent of prosperity, whose election
would insure the restoration of pros
perity.
"'Times have changed. 1 appear to-
day as a candidate. A panic is on hand.
The Republicans were in power when
it came, and according to their logic,
it is Republican panic, and l am the
advance agent of prosperity. So my
election can be demanded this year by
the same logic they used twelve years
ago, and my election by the same logic
can be demanded as the only cure for
the hard times under which the people
are suffering"
Talks of Tariff.
''They told you then that if they
were elected they would raise the tar
if. Now in their platform they admit
that the tariff is so high that they
promise 'unequivocally' to revise it i'm
that they are intrusted with
power, and Mr.. Taft says that it will
be downward.
'They offered you an upward tariff
in 1896 as relief from a Democratic
panic and now they offer you a down.
ward revision as relief from Repub-
lean panic. My friends, there is no
to Republican logic.
There is a demand in this country
;oday for the reduction of the tariff,
, demand so widespread and so en-
,hatic that ali of the Republican lead
RS had to recognize it. And, my friends,
hey recognize it in such a way that
10 one can mistake the significance of
heir admission.
KepuDncan PROMISES.
'The Republicans have had eleven
ears, too, in which to revise the tariff,
md now they are down on their knees
aging, IF you will let us in once more
We will do Immediately what we ought
o have done before
"That is their platform. They recOg-
ize that the tariff must be revised |
nd yet, instead of putting in the word
they put in the word revis
on. And revision may mean up or it
nay mean down.
Mr.. Taft says it means both; he says
ONE schedules are to be raised and |
thers are to be lowered, and when l |
insisted that he tell us whether he knew

ciated value of education along special
lines in addition to that broad culture
which is the proper foundation for all
specialized culture. The profession of
journalist is no exception to this and
it is a pleasure to learn that the Uni
versity of Missouri has taken the mat
ter in hand and in addition to its Col
lege of Arts and Science, School of Ag-
riculture, Teachers College, Department
of Law, Department of Medicine, De-
partment of Engineering and School of

Ernest Tate, superintendent of the
Schools at Oregon, Missouri. writes:
We are receiving the University Mis-
sourian in our high school and are en-
jOying it very much. 1t keeps us in
close touch with the University and
gives us much added news of interest

law which provides a penitentiary pen
atty for any man or set of men con-
spring in restraint of trade. 1t is just
as plain as the law against horse steal
ing. And yet while the law against
horse stealing is enforced, the criminal
law against trusts is not enforced.
after seven years the President can
not show one single trust magnate put
behind the prison bars, and if a siren
uous man like the President cannot i'm
prison one trust magnate in seven years,
how long will it take an amiable and
complacent man like Mr.. Taft to put
trust magnate in the penitentiary?"
Mr.. Bryan was bitter in his denuncia
tion of the President for his interfer-
ence in the presidential contest.
Il appeal to your sense of justice, and
1 ask you if it is fair for the President
to try to force the election of the man
he has selected to succeed him. l say
to him hands of-let the American peo-
pie decide"

TO Be THE PUBLIC PRINTER
PRESIDENT DECIDES TO NAME
WILLIAM 8. ROSSITER.

President Roosevelt has reached the def
mite conclusion. as forecasted by The
Star several days ago. to tender the posi-
ton Of public printer to William S. Ros-
siter and 1t is said. the tender will be
made early next week Mr.. Rossiter re-
Gently submitted to the President the re-
suit of his investigation of conditions at
the government printing office.
This report has been in the Presidents
hands for a week. but he has been so
much engaged on other things he has had
no chance to do more than glance over
1t.
On good authority today it is stated
that the tender of the Office to Mr..
Rossiter is with the understanding that
he does not want the place permanently,
and that he will not remain longer than
necessary to make what the President
considers some reforms In the estab-
lishment. Mr.. Rossiter is said to have
informed the President that he does not
desire to become public printer per
manently and would not do so.
To Remain as Long as Possible.
The President is said to have sounded
Mr.. Rossiter as to becoming the perma-
nent head of the institution, but was told
that this could not be. Following this the
President has given 'Mr. Rossiter to UNI
derstand that he would like him to remain
as long as possible.
The details of the plan are not thor
oughly understood. according to the in
formation SO far obtainable.
notwithstanding the clearly understood
intention of the President as to nominat-
ing Mr.. RCssiter. friends of Capt. Brian
acting public printer: Oscar Ricketts, and
others. continue to urge their good quail
ties. Many strong men have told the
President that Capt Brian, by right of
long and meritorious service in the Office
and thorough understanding of every de-
tail. really ought to have the position.
Others have informed him Of Mr.. Rick
etts' popularity with organized labor; his
long experience at the government print
ing office. and his ability, if appointed. to
bring about harmonious and improved
