THE FIRST VICTORY.

That the bright young men who
went to Kansas City as representa-
tives of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Missouri in the
stock judging contest were awarded
the silver trophy was pleasing news
to all Missourians. 1t is great jump
from last place to first place, yet this
is the feat these young men have ac-
complished. The other contesting
teams, from Iowa, Nebraska and Kan
sas, naturally were the pick of those
colleges, and were all coached by pro-
fessors expert in the fine points of
judging stock.
1t may not be out of place to take
this victory of the stock-judging stu
dents as an omen presaging victory
for Missouri's football team Thanks
giving Day.

"OUR TEAM DID IT."

The stock judging team from the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Missouri won the $500 trophy,
first prize, over teams from Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska at the American
Royal Live Stock show in Kansas City
yesterday. Surely the students and
faculty of the university and the citi-
zens of Missouri can hold their heads
a little higher today, for our team
did it." Although we can not give
McWilliams, Ryland, Weaver and
Hackdorn, the students on the team,
their MS in recognition of their
work in defeating the teams from Kan
sas, Iowa and Nebraska, we certainly
are proud of them anyway We are
as proud of them as we will be of an
other Missouri team after Thanksgiv-
ing Day, provided the victory goes
the same way.

WHAI The PRESS MAY Do.

The responsibility of journalism
in international affairs is weighty,"
says Edward Cary of the New York
Times, in the opening sentence of a
pamphlet recently issued by the Amer
ican Association of International Con-
ciliation. Journalism has generally
two functions, according to Mr.. Carey:
ITO furnish information and to COM
ment thereon"
The task of the first of this double
office has been rendered quite simple
by the news-collecting agencies in this
country and in foreign lands. The
editors problem has become, conse-
quently, one of selection rather than
of collection. What remains for most
editors is the form of presentation and
the comment on it.
For the great papers," says Mi
Carey, for those that can afford to
maintain editors-resident at the cen
ters of affairs, who know the under
currents of sentiment and interest
that influence political action, there
is clearly responsibility that the
least sensitive might well feel. 1t is
not easy to define it, but it is unmis
taxable and it is considerable"
The chief responsibility of jour
nalist in international affairs is for the
influence he may exert on the feelings
of his readers, and so on the general
sentiment on which so much depends
The same news can be presented in
a manner to excite or to prevent eX
element The sensible and practica
rule is always, so far as possible, tc
give peace the benefit of the doubt
so to address readers as to keep then
cool, and fair, and rational"
AS to editorial comment, Mr.. Carey
asserts that Every consideration thai
appeals to a man in private life tc
make him just and temperate anC
strongly to the writer on internationa
affairs, since his influence is far wider
and the influence may be far more i'm
portant and enduring"
The task of the Journalist is to ge
at the truth and, as near as may be
the whole truth
The writer of headlines" accord
ing to Mr. Carey, often does much
mischievous work. His impulse an(
desire is to attract the eye, the atten
ton, of the public, if but for moment
and in that moment much harm ma!
be done
Mr.. Carey believes that in modifi
cation of these headlines more largely

that every student in the university
is waiting with anxiety their arrival
so that they can pin them to their
and for the new spirit" at the Uni
versity of Missouri. When student
pins one of the tiger heads on his coat
he will not only show his loyalty to
the team and all that goes to make up
a successful team and loyal spirit
but he will also contribute something
toward Thanksgiving Day victory
and, furthermore, he will do it in an
honorable way.

MUSIC WORTH WHILE.

The musical organizations of the
colleges and universities in Columbia
have united in an effort to bring the
st Louis Symphony Orchestra to this
city for series of three concerts to
be given in December, January and
February. The fact that these three
societies are working together is in
itself sufficient argument for the
worthiness of this enterprise. The St.
Louis Symphony Orchestra is an or
ganiZation of excellent reputation
among musical circles. To bring it
here it is necessary to guarantee
$1,000. 1t should not be difficult to do
this
The young men and women who
for an education, for culture. And
that education which does not include
knowledge, or at least an apprecia-
ton of good music is not a well round
ed one. Music appeals not only to
the intellect, but to the soul, the
sensibilities as can no other art. 1t
speaks in any language, it opens up
an endless vista of delights. 1t may
mean a beautiful sunset, a poem, a
Dream a tragedy, or a comedy, any
thing that comes within the sphere
Of human emotions. Surely he who

VIEWPOINTS
"Everyone Get Behind Roper"

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
AS former student who still loves
Our School let me congratulate the
university upon the acquisition of
Coach Roper. | remember an interview
from a well-known football critic of,
| think, Chicago, published in a St.
Louis newspaper last year, in which
he said: Missouri has more good
football material in the shape of
husky, fast and willing men than any
other school in the West. What they
need is a coach" And at the time |
felt that every man who knew the
conditions at Columbia knew with me
that the statement was true.
Now you have the coach Every
one who has followed athletics knows:
who Roper is. He has proven himself
a brilliant coach. 1t is up to the
school, which has never failed yet
to stand behind him. He may not beat
Kansas this year. but give him the
men to work with and see what hp
will do. Down here in ST. Louis we have
a baseball manager named Bresnahan.
Baseball men may have heard his
name. He inherited a tail-end team
when he took the reins last spring
They are finishing seventh. Yet We
folk here are glad, because he hos
shown that he is wedding out what he
cannot use and training what he can
and next year we will begin asking
| for a place in the first division. Keen
right behind Roper, and be patient
We have lost to Kansas often enough
goodness knows, not to feel too bad
over just one more defeat-if it is a
moral victory" There are many
men who used to be with you at the
Athens of Missouri who are watching
what the school is going to do with
Roper, and what is just as important
what Roper is going to do to the
school. Just keep behind Roper.
AS newspaper man, let me con
| gratulate the men who are making
| the University Missourian. 1t is eX
cellent, geographically, editorially
and reportorially The bright" stuff
is where it ought to be, and the
news is where it ought to be and how
| it ought to be.

Courtesy to Women.

To the Editor Of the University Mis>ourian:
Inc University OF Missouri is es.
pecially noteworthy for it's uniform
courtesy to its women students. The
aggressive ''show me" spirit of Mis-
souri, today has not superseded the
old-time Southern gentleman" polish
but has merely been added to it, max
ing a combination which will win the
way for Missourians wherever they
care to go.

A great many people are under
the impression that after they
have paid hunters license. and
same recorded in the books in
the sheriff's Office, that is all that
is necessary. The laws require
and say plainly that a man to
hunt must procure a hunters Ii
cense from the sheriff and that
when hunting he must have said
license in his possession, so as to
be able to show it to the game
warden when asked to do so.
Otherwise the man hunting is
liable to a fine by the district
