MORE LIGHT.

No institution that serves the state
is helped by concealment toward larger
service. Certainly the University of
the people of Missouri has all to gain
by the widest knowledge of what it is
doing and by the most microscopic
inquiry into its expenditures.
Investigation has always helped good
causes and always will help good eaus-
es. The people have only to be well
acquainted with their University to
give it such support as will make it
worthy of the great state. 1t stands
for higher education. 1t trains for UNI
selfish public service. 1t is the Uni
versity of all the people.
Expenditures of the peoples money is
a legitimate subject for inquiry and
comment. The statutes of Missouri rec
ognize the fact by providing that every
account of the University shall be open
to inspection by any citizen at any
time. The governor appoints board
of visitors which makes annual inspec-
tion. A legislative visiting committee
comes biennually for investigation of
the University. The Board of CuratOrs
at its monthly and quarterly meetings
inspects, investigates and audits-and
makes printed. public report of every
warrant issued by the University. its
amount and purpose. Probably no state
institution anywhere has more frequent
or more thorough investigation. 1t is
proper and right that his should be So
In its present condition that which
the University of the people of Mis-
souri, most desires is

The Alpha Phi Sigma.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Last fall the Alpha Phi Sigma, the
organization of senior girls, fulfilled one
of its purposes by publishing collec-
tion of songs and yells of the Uni
versity. This act was greatly appre-
ciated by the student body. Heretofore
this organization has always maintain
ed reputation for broad -mindedness
and fairness, and has done much to-
ward developing the proper spirit
among underclass girls. But it seems
from the present outlook that the ideas
of the leaders of this organization are
now somewhat warped. A reception to
the freshmen girls has been planned for
Friday night when the whole Organi-
ZatiOn should have known that the
fourth number of the University lecture
course will be given that night.

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

Governor Hadley's plan to appoint a
commission of from ten to fifteen men
to study and investigate the matter Of
liquor legislation for Missouri is a plan
that should meet the approval of both
prohibitiOnist and i-prohibitionist.
His plan is to have a commission to
study the liquor question the same as
there are commissions to study tariff,
railroads, agriculture and many other
subjects. This commission will hear
arguments and investigate liquor laws
from the standpoint of the brewer. the
saloon owner, and the local optiOnist
There have been numerous bills pro-
posed at the present Legislature for the
control Of the liquor traffic. A COM
mission of this kind could do great
deal toward settling this important
question, for it could hear all sides and
make impartial decisions. This COM
mission could report on all matters
pertaining to liquor legislation, the To-
cation and conduct of saloons and inns.
and the sale and consumption of intOxi-
eating drinks in all parts of the state.
Nc one doubts that this is a most i'm
POrtant question. one that requires
careful consideration, and a commission
to consider the entire matter would
be an important step toward its intelli-
gent solution.

ii. Clay Pierce. president of the Wa
tersPiercc Oil Co. has announced that
he will accept the decree of the
Missouri Supreme Court and dissove all
connection with the Standard Oil Co..
and has paid the $4,000 fine imposed by
the court. The decree goes into effect
March l. and before that time the
Standard Oil Co. must dispose of the
sixty per cent of stock which it owns
i'm the Watcrs-Pierce firm. This is the
elimination of the memorable fight be-
gun three Years ago by Governor Had
ley. then attorney general of Missouri.
In the progress of the case he was the
first to compel the officials of the
Standard Oil Co. to testify on the wit
ness stand as to their connection with
the other sO-called Independent compa-
nics doing business in the state. The
officials of the Standard at that time
made fun of the young attOrney-gen-
cral who had the courage to force them
TO testify As to their organization.
Now the time has come when the hu-
NOR is on the other side. for they must
comply absolutely with the decision that
he has caused to be rendered by the
highest court i'm the state. for as gov
ernor he has the power of enforcing
the ruling that he himself secured while

A record-breaking automobile show
has Just closed in Chicago. and another
of equal Importance closed in Kansas
City two weeks ago. ST. Louis is at
present preparing for the biggest exhi-
bitiOn of the kind ever held i'm that CITY.
The average number of entries for the
three shows will be something like 300.
and the combined value of the cars will
equal S7,OOO.OOO. while the retail sales
of the shows in the three largest cities
of the Mississippi valley will amount
probably to SlO.OOO,OOO. As direct result
of two shows which have already been
held. 400 new agencies have been es-
tablished. These figures are significant.
They show that the automobile is no
longer mOnopOlized by the residents of
the large city, but that the citizens of
the small towns. and even the farmers
are beginning to see the value of the
motor car as a means of travelling
Each year sees an increase in the ef-

it probably will not replace the heavy

is the most efficient means for light
