try. Columbia has grown from a
small village to one of the most pros
porous and progressive cities in the
state. The University of Missouri has
advanced Beautiful churches have

Jail ns-unhealtnful and unclean
"a place for the spreading Of contagi-

Economically speaking. a thing is
worthless when it has served it's ut

abandoned, and modern sanitary

NOELESSE OELIGE.

Nobility imposes obligation SAYS
French motto. Is there such a thinS
as NOhleSSe Oblige for the university
man? Governor Hughes. of New
York. insists there is.
Why does the State of Missouri
eXpend money for the maintenance OF
the university? Not for the individual
good obtained by the students but for
the greater good that the student will
be able to do for the state through
his advanced efficiency due to more
thorough preparation and training
Governor Hughes said that the mainr
ity of the corrupt legislators were col
leGe trained men. Does the state edu-
cate men to go cut and help ruin its
fair name?
In some Of the large eastern schools.
Harvard and Yale as examples. yradu
ates are proud of their response to
NobleSSe Oblige. Harvard points with
pride to a long list of writer's. states
men. Judges, poets. even presidents
who were graduated from her school.
Roosevelt WAS Il Harvard man Will"
Taft is Yale man. Each has re-
manned loyal to his college and still
holds himself under obligation to his
Alma Mater
There is Il distinctivcneSs about Il
school that expects Obligations from
the men it sends into the world. Mis-
souri, sent her football team to Kan
sas City with the njunriion from the
president. that, Missouri expects
every man To do his duty" Would
not such motto as this be a good
one to apply 10 all student activities
AT all times. not only through school
life but after school life and out in
the world.
Suppose it to be a slogan-the I'M
posed obligation it We're. upon
every student and graduate that he is
expected to do his duty at all times.
Such a sentiment would lit well with
the new Missouri spirit 1t would be
we'll to weave a tradition about the
motto that would hold it typicallv
Missourian Tor all time. Then when
a MiSsoucian has made his distinctive
mark in the world it could be justly
said Of hja: He has done his duty"

CHRISTMAS GIFT OF a JAIL.

The gift season is at hand. People
will give and receive presents. Why
should not this county be the recipient
of a gift? One of the most urgent
needs OF Boone County just now is IA
new Jail. Such IA gift by citizens Of
this county would do much toward
raising the county to place with the
other well-regulated and governed
counties OF the state.
No stronger condemnation of the old
dilapidateJ structure has been uttered
than that BY Dr. \. W. NcAlester.
