The Seuenth Column
The Passing Throno.

Count the forms OF the passing throng
AS sadly they fit on their way;
Their features are shaded
And their raiment is faded
They are heroes OF yesterday
Hear the tread of the passing throng.
Marching on through the gloom.
Their heads are bowed in sorrow,
AS they compare the morrow
With the splendor OF yesterdays noon.
WHO are the heroes. stealing away?
And why are some uttering prayers
OF thankfulness, at passing through
Another season of hulabalOO?
The reply is-they're football PLAYERS.

ACT a Charity. Sometimes"

To til" Editor # the University Mi>sourian:
How many people do you know
who possess the characteristic Of being
charitable? Have you ever thought
what charity means? W" have us-i
charity so much in reference to the
aiding of the needy, in the sense OF
generosity to suffering, that we for"al
its deeper meanings. 1t is we'll that
we do act q charity to thu needy
also. 1t was Charles Lamb who sad
Act a charity, somstimes," and lle
referred TO not being over Scriipulods
in doubling the existence OF the seven
snail children and starving wife OF tn.
pleadirg bessar.
To be charitable is not to doubt.
1t is to be liberal. Liberal in the
giving OF aims. perhaps. but also lib
2ral in the judging OF men ana their
actions. To have a liberal c!ispo,i-
tioE toward putting the best cGnst,uc-
ton on the words and actions of other
men. il is indeed an excellent tra;r
to possess. We all admire the man
who sees only good in al t,:ingS. We
cal him an Optinist. Il kind-hearted
nan but we should cali him char
table man.
When Lincoln uttered that bene-
d!ctOn over the great Civil war and
said, with malice toward none. with

est grasp Of great situation His
own whole life was made up OF CHARITY.

the prisoner, or the spy, oonsoling the
widow. and mother.
Ii You do not possess charity in yo,r
heart learn to act charity. Pretend
to be charitable. Pretend to take the
liberal view Of the doings and sav-
lngs OF your fellow men, pretend TO
syn pathize with the poor and needy,
pretend that you are charitable and
the joT you will receive will not Ec

Six Great Men.

SiN of the greatest men in the world
died in one little village in Illinois
Saturday. SO great wer" they that
their merit transcended the limitations
OF earthly achievements and reached
INTO the infinite. Only the beginnings
OF their majestic performance touch I'd
The earth; its completion is woven into
The fabri" ol eternity.
The worlds comprehension is no
test of greatness. Those six men who
died. in comraGship with each other
and with those already dead, were not
marked with en- bIam or with special
courtesy among their fellow men Nor
is fame the measure Of greatness.
Suddenly, throughout all this land.
they gained the tribute OF keen atten-
ton. OF Ten's wonder. Of human sor-
row. 50 pure tlat il upIiited like joy;
so poignant that it struck language
dumb and tolerated no response less
eloquent than the shame OF tears. Yet
this was hardly iame-this flash of
knowledge; We do not even know their
names,
1t was rot that they wcnt--as the
easy phrase has ito certain death.

and Weaklinss; these were strong men

Of the tunnels and the pits; they knew

his own strength unavailing except to
add to the torment of his lingering;
tEe:' knew that men, prone and IN
conscious. We're spread upon the sub
terrane2n floors whose limp and
Strlc ken bodies would revive if the.
could be borne into the imprisoned air
in time; they knew! 1t was no folly.
no bravadO, no reckless daring that
splendid deaths-but wisdom. and
the courage OF high resolve.
No lifetime homage. no splendor of
celebrity. no long career of achieve
ment can be measured with the glory
OF these men who rose to sublimity
when the call came. and died there.
For them an epltaph was written,
long. long ago, and preserved through
the centuries in priceless Book so
that 1t might comfort those who mourn
them today:

For Better Shows.

To the Editor of the University MiS>ourian:
Now that the football season Is past
nest of the students, and Tor that
matter most residents OF Columbia.
will look to the theaterS for their
an nuSements. There is no better way
of the cares of school work or business
than by seeing Il good, clean, whole
some show. Tastes Of course differ.
and it cannot be expected that every
performance should please all. but
there have been in times past thea
trical performances that have pleased
no one.
For a city the size of Columbia the
shows have unfortunately not kept
pace. This may be partly due to the
fact that only one theater is here, and
the lack of competition does not make
it imperative for the owners to bring
high-class shows here. This is a mis-
take Columbia is almost on the main
line between Kansas City and St.
Louis but gets none of the high class
efforts staged in those cities. Second
class shows are good enough is aprar-
emily the way the promoters look at
it. But the university students and
teachers and the well-meaning citi-
zens of Columbia do not think So
For the student TO study ShakpSOpare
in the class room, and sit through two
hours of cheap dreary musical comedy
by seCond-rate company, is a decided
incongruty. H.

She was a girl 26 years old. who had
been helpless for thirteen years, the

on by the terrible experiences which
she went through that day in 1896.

have been more or less forgotten.

characters are plunged into poverty.

THAT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

THAT CHRIS MAS SHOPPING.
The approach of Christmas calls to
mind the annual shopping rush.
Newsr srapers are reminding people OF
the necessity OF early buying. Sales
the few days preceding the mid-winter
holiday. OF course. people will buy
early. They always have bought
early-that the poor overworked
clerks might enjoy their Christmas.
Buyers have good intentions but
they are only intentions. The day
before Christmas the buyers will finish
the list of presents, and not until then
viii they begin the scramble to make
purchases. 1t has ever been thus.
Humane motives for early buying are
forgotten in the rush. The clerks suf-
fer. Possibly the storekeeper in
craaSes the number OF sa!espeopla. In
many cases the increase does not meet
the demand. and the silent appeal OF
tie workers is unheedcd
Now the public has pity for them.
but then it Will he different. Then
the pure haser Will think only OF the
desire for presents. Then the over
loaded shopper Will think only OF tae
23gty store. the lack OF sufficient
salespeopie. and the difficulty he has
IN remaining at the crowded counter.
while he is struggling to keep MS
bundles from going divers directions.
Then he does not wish to pay delicate
attentions; rather he would pat the
meek clerks under his heel and grind
he remaining spark of life from their
bodies.
o.. yes. shopping is so pleasant the
day before Christmas. This is the
reason why so many shoppers sit
quietly down and await that time.

CELEBRATING THE VICTORY.

ne CGteOratiOn OF atniet!r NlCtof-
les is the natural outburst ci student
enthusiasm It is fitting climax to
a great game. 1t is the reserve force
OF school spirit. the outburst OF pride
in the achievement o. fellow students.
As sUCh. nothing should enter into It
that would reflect upon the honor Of
the university.
When purely personal qualification
enters into the celebration the main
though, is lost. The victor is for
gotten. The achievement and what it
means to the university is swallowed
up in haze OF free entertainments.
This is not celebrating 4 victory. i
is merely taking advantage OF the time
for personal pleasure.
When students celebrate in fitting
manner it is then that the true spirit
of the student body is uppermost. and
they do not give vent to their feel
ings TO the displeasure or inconven-
ierce OF others.

become lost it seems that We might
