Marathon Race
Probable AT Park

AS suggested in the BuIlettn
on Monday last, an alteration has
been made as regards the press ta-
Bile at the Athletic Park. and the
scribes will now be seated In COM
fort at the mauka end Of the grand
stand, where there will be no pililiia
about not being able to see the work
done around first base.
The seats in the grand stand have
also been all numbered, and tickets
that are sold at the gates will en-
title the buyer to specified seat,
which cannot be jumped by anyone
else.
Manager Douthitt is figuring on
a Marathon race to be run early In
September. and Chinese. Japanese.
Hawaiian and other nationalities
are expected to enter for the event.
The exact length Of the track is
yet known. but It will probably pan
out at about six laps to the mile.
A Marathon would certainly draw
big crowd, and II liberal prizes
were offered no doubt a. number Of
runners from the other islands would
enter for the race.
Douthitt has several other ideas
which he will make public in, the
near future, and the chances are
that the Park will be the scene of
many interesting sporting events.

No Poet for the Aeroplane.

To the Editor Of the University Mssourian:
Mr.. GOrts of London was quoted as
follows in Mondays Missourian: Ed
ucatiOn has rid the world of genius.
Gray could look at COW or hear the
curfew and show his genius. But
where is the man today who can re-
spond to the inspiration of an aeroplane
flight :"
Apparently he considers sensation
al occurrence the proper stimulus for
the Muse. Great inventions may fire
the ina gination of the commercial pro-
moter. but often do not appeal to the
poet in the least. Why did not Gray
sing of Franklins feat of drawing elec-
tricity from the clouds. which must
have seemed as wonderful in his own
time as the aeroplane does in ours? The
COW was never startling invention,
nor was she peculiar to the eighteenth
century. Most of the good poetry has
been produced under the spell of the
omnipOtent trinity, Wine. Woman and
Song" Surely none of the three is re-
stricted to any age or cline.
Since Gray was. perhaps. the first
scholar of his age. why was not his
genius impaired: Why quote him as
an example of what the heaven-born
gift can accomplish when undefiled by
learning? Lanier cried out against Poe
that .he knew too little" Certainly no
one has ever been accused of knowing
too much. If injury has been done by
modern education, it is due to the
methods employed and not to any in
herent defect in education itself.

Fraternities Again.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Since no one has come to the rescue
of "P" in his articles on Too Many
Fraternities.' the writer would like to
put himself on record as strictly ia
voring everything that 'P" has writ
ten. He would also like to place on
record the large number of faculty men,
bers and students who have been heard
to express themselves as being opposed
to the great number of fraternities
that have grown up mushrOOm-llke
around the campus of the University
of Missouri during the last few years,
and whose purpose seems solely to as
sist the foolish student in spending his
fathers money.
A few years ago there We're only
about half dozen fraternitics at Mis-
souri,, and they stood for something.
that is. their members went in for stu
dent activities. Some of the fraterni-
ties went in for debating: some for
athletics: some stood for high scholar
ship; and others excelled along literary
lines. Now we have fraternities that
stand for poor scholarship: Others that
encourage their members to resist uni
versity authority: Others that encour-
age hoboing: others that encourage in
temperance: and others organized for
the sole purpose of getting certain
professor that had incurred their en-
nifty out of the university. These lat
ter organizations should be compelled
to disband. for they can do naught but
cause discomfort and encourage insub-
ordination in the student body.

SUMNER BASEBALL

We must side with Mr. A. A. Stagg in
the controversy now being carried on
concerning the playing of professional
baseball by college athletes during the
summer months.
Those who favor this form of athletic
exploitation speak as if they were
championing an entirely new thing
They cheerfully overlook summer base
balls awkward and blackening past
But no university man who took part
in the recent movement for the reform
of intercollegiate sport can ever forget
the corruption that began with and
radiated from the practice of allowing
undergraduates to make expenses at
semiprofessional ball throughout the
long vacation.
Mr.. Stagg is entirely right in his un,
compromising stand against the rein
PRODUCTION of this demoralizing prac-
tice. He is not fighting a theoretical
evil. but one with which the whole
college world is practically acquainted

The Red Cap Brigade.

70 the Editor Of the University Missourian:
What do the red caps mean! Stats
ties would show that forty per cent Of
the university girls wear these scarlet
tam O'shanters. Such cOncensus of
opinion indicates a subjective value that
is not apparent to the observer. Let
us get back of a superficial estimate.
Are they red rags of defiance that are
cast to the men? Evidence will not bear
this out. Mere man has been seen car
rying books for these red tam O'shan-
ter wearers. Are they anarchistic
crowns that surmOunt these pretty
faces!
Is it the badge of allegiance to some
leader? The color means fight some
where. Or, perhaps. the prevalent idea
that men think red is the most beauti-
fuI color in the world has brought this
deluge of red caps. 2.

NEED
OF FAIRGROUNDS

VNDER an act of the Massachu-
l setts legislature, cities and towns
having population of 10000 or
over are authorized to vote on the aues-
tion of providing public Fairgrounds
and paying for them by incurring in
debtedness beyond the municipal limit
to an amount not exceeding one-half
OF l per cent of the assessed valuation.
The act having been accepted by popular
vote, 1t becomes mandatory to estab-
ilsh within specified time at least one
pubic playground, conveniently located
and OF suitable size and equipment, and
at least one other playground for every
additional 10000 of population.
A number of cities have already yot.
ed, and in every case the law has been
accepted with little or no opposition.
The people are manifestly alive to the
very great utility of the playground as
a means OF improving the health of the
children and better fitting them for the
work OF the schoolroOm. Such provis-
ION must be recognized by all thinking
persons as a basic educational require
ment.
The child must have room. means and
opportunity to play or its physical be-
ing suffers and its mental faculties are
affected As well deny
air and space to the growing plant as
deny the same advantages. together
with active bodily exercise. to growing

ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI

Newspapers of Illinois are united in
asking that the legislature of that state
do everything in its power to increase
the salaries of the teachers in the
state university. Illinois believes in edu-
cation. The people of the state speak
with pride of the accomplishments of
the school and are jealous i'm guarding
its best interests.
This fact is shown by the fact that
for the year ending June. 1907. the uni
versity of Illinois received from all
sources an income of Sl007 OO9. nearly
twice the amount received by the uni
versity of Missouri. which had to be
content with S533.659. Larger appro-
priations than ever will be made this
year.
Certainly Missouri does not want H.
linois to assume such leadership in
the cause of higher education The
accomplishments of the university. the
impetus to ambition. the capsheaf of
the school system are all worthy of the
hest support from the general assem-
bly, of Missouri.-Joplin News Herald.

VIEWPOINTS

THE University Missourian invites eontri-
buttons. not to exceed 200 words. on matters
of University interest The name Of the
writer should accompany such Letters. but will
not be printed unless desired. The Cniver-
sity Missourian does not express approval nor
disapproval Of these communications BY print
ing them.l
Juniors Neglect.
To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
The freshman SAYS: 1T will be two
long years before l can have my pic
ture published in the Savitar." The
sophomore: Next year l can answer
present on the pictorial roll call of up
per classmen."
But when the junior year really
comes, he compels the editors to spend
precious hours and to exhaust their
energies, coaXing him to come across
with his likeness. 1t may be human
nature, but it makes lot of extra work
for the men who get out the leading
souvenir of our life in the University.

SARDONICS

A writer in the Kansas City Star
SAYS of "Sardonics.' a collection of stO-
rie> by Harris VI. Lyon. who was grad
uated from the University of Missouri
ii 1905:
Harris Merton Lyon. reared in Kan
>a> City. was graduated from Contra.
high school IT, 1900 and went thence to
tie University of Missouri: year OF
two on Missouri and Kansas newspa-
pers followed and now he edits Hamp-
tons magazine in New York city and
finds time to write short stories. As
his schC oil day acquaintances remember
him he was cheerful and beaming
houndless in hope and ambition. So its
nor surprising that he has undertaken
to write tales of failure and of bitter
ness and of Crime and crime. And he
has made sketches that almost convince
YOU that he knows what he's writing
about.
The stories are mostly of New York
and are published under the collective
name. '.Sardonics" Mr. Lyon is
unique enough and considerate enough
to omit the New York known to the
visitor from the West. Broadway is
hardly mentioned while the hotels of
solid gol,: and precious stones appear
i. IL
the numbering. man-eating dumps OF
the side streets to which Mr. Lyon
takes his readers. The sound of the
boot and the death gurgIe are met with
frequency that give the visitor from
.hc COW country longing to b. hlcn
home where grown men haven't forgot :
ten how IL laugh.
In spite of his unhappy subjects Mr.
Lyon has made interesting tales, but
the reader cannot help wishing the
oung writer would write about a peO-
Pile who don't murder with stove pok-
ers. There must be somebody in New
York between the Cafe Martin class
and the ''mister-please-si sir gimmc-a-
nickel-to-buy- drink" kind. The only
reason for mentioning this is that it
gives opportunity to ask Mr.. Lyon to
devote his evident talent to happier
subjects. He writes about the thieves
and murderers and wifebeaters as if he
almost believed he were performing a
duty: and he does it we'll. Let him
cheer up bit. and tell about the de-
cent, respectable and most interesting
middle class and he will receive some
of the credit his work deserves. Mr.
LyOn can see and feel and he can write
and he is young. SO look out for Har-
ris Merton Lyon.

HE'S STUDYING
TO BE A POET

III AlLED as the future poet fau'
reate of America by leading men
of letters. H. H. Knibs, formerly
a railroad stenOgrapher. now a student
at Harvard at the age of "a, finally sees
fame reckoning to him.
His first collection CT .erscs. a dry
volume. has just been issued, but al
ready the prediction is made that his
name will not only rank with those of
Keats and Shelley. but men like Prof.
Bliss of Harvard. Prof. Henry Van
Dyke of Princeton. and Prof. William
Lyons Phelps of Yale are unanimous in
praise of his verse.
Gentle and serious minded, somewhat
above the average height and well knit,
his face aglOw with health. Mr. Knibbs
little resembles the average conception
of poet.
Il have been trying to write poetry
ever since l was nine years DID," he
said, land my first worth while poem
was published when | was about Is.
1t was entitled The Wolf Man. 1 re-
ccived my inspiration for this poem
from seeing a print of an old painting
of the wOlfman whose playing upon
the pipes charmed the wolves to fol-
low him and commit any depredations
he desired
1t was not until year ago that
Knibbs decided to take up literature
seriously. At the instigatiOn of the
Rev. Charles c. AlbertsOn, of whose
parish he was member while living
in Rochester, \. ", he gave up his EN-
ployment as stenographer and devoted
all of last winter to perfecting his
verse. and this fall he entered Harvard
University.
A married man. Knibbs is confident
that he will be able to surmount the
difficulties he expects to meet on the
long road towards his goal. He will
spend four years at Harvard. he will
study at Oxford and in Italy, and only
then will he return to Boston to de-
vote his life to literary pursuits.

cult court of Boone county was open

the newly appointed circuit attorney.
was on hand to see that the majesty OF
the law was respected by the hardy
pioneers.
News Came by Stage Coach.
The court had been established by a
special act of the legislature in the
fall of 1920. The first news of its
establishment was brought to Smithton
by the stage coach from Fayette which
ran only occasionally. Intense interest
was created by the report and all show

Justice that must come with a judge, a
sheriff. lawyers and jurors.
The settlers before had been content
to settle some cases by trials before
justices of the peace but in more in
stances by arbitration or personal en-
counters with fists and skulls. Interest
in the new court was of several kinds.
Some wanted to practice law; Others
sought justice, while many hoped for
some new interest. The young men
were ambitious to rise to higher things
and studiously lived with the few law
books available in new country. These
books We're costly and the owners were
loath to lend them. But they felt that
learn they must. and they did.
The establishment of the court re-
minded the citizens that they had suf-
fered at the hands of neighbors and
that they should seek retribution. The
cost of the suit did not seem to enter
their minds for. of course. the judge
must see the case as the plaintiff set it
forth in his petition. Often, those
without grievances sought to stir up
strife to make some showing when
court should be held.
