/ Mr.. Cantrill may be rjght.whep he say $
| eignty-fiye per cent OF the 1909 crop
would have been pooled if his advice
had been followed. We firmly believe
that 100 per cent Of any crop could be
pooled if everybody S advice could be
| followed, but Mr. Cantrill knows how
impossible it is to have every thing to
suit everybody We also believe that
IS per cent of the 1909 crop could have
been pooled if Mr.. Cantrill and his
board had not made a fight against the
society, and we believe the same thing
could be done in 1910 if the opposition
to the pool would stop fighting.
Mr.. Cantrill has certainly got more
for his pooled tobacco than be receiv-
ed before and he admits that he is
willing to take the stump for the pool
without pay whenever our leaders
concede to the demands of the people.
An interesting question right now is
what are the demands of the people,
and who has right to speak for
them. If the representatives of the
pOolers on the various boards do not
represent the people, whom do they
represent? Certainly they are not
fighting the pool. MIR. Cantrill GER
tainly does not represent the pool, for
he is fighting it. What then. and
whom does he represent? Why is he
not for the pool? We:would:be delight
ed to have him with as. We would be
delighted to be for him for Congress,
but four years ago we made VOW
never to be for anything or anybody
who was against the pool, and so help
US. God, we propose to be true and
faithful to that vow.

Chance for Taft to Make Good.

Here is chance for President Taft
to make good his words. The New
York World says: ut is a fair. chal-
lenge that Champ Clark, the Demo
cratic leader of the House, filings at
Mr.. Taft. The president has admitted
in his speeches that the tariff on WOOL
en- goods should be reduced. Very
well, says the leader of the minority I;
send special message to Congress
demanding a reduction in the wooden
schedule, and if Chairman Payne will
report the bill the Democrats will off
er no amendments. That is fair pro-
posiotion. 1t disposes of the plea that
the excuses of the Payne Aldrich bill
cannot be corrected without opening
up the whole q lestion of tariff revision
again. The wooden schedule which Mr.
Taft himself refuses to defend can be
revised downward without touching
another rate in the tariff act. If MIR.
Tart is wise he will accept Mr.. Clark S
ch llenge and help give the American
people cheaper clothing at once.

Editorial Comment on Thomas
Cantrill Race.
Home Paper Against Cantrill.
(Georgetown News. J

(Georgetown News.)
Mr.. Cantrill has issued a statement
in which he declares open warfare
upon the Burley Tobacco Society.
This action upon his part may DE good
politics, but it is certainly poor policy
for the good of the pool. His state
ment, which we publish in another
column, is an appeal to the prejudices
rather than an argument against the
contract. His one objectiontoffered to
the contract-the insertion of a sew
enty-five per cent clause-we do not
believe can be magnified sufficiently to
cause the growers at this critical time
to desert from the firing line, and sur
render to the common enemy-the
trust.
The organization which he so bit
terly denounces is the same organiza-
tion which succeeded in defeating the
trust in 1867. 1t is the same Organi-
cation which proved to be most val
liable political asset to him in 1908.
If his actions since then have changed
aypolitical asset TO political liability,
why should be blame the organiza-
ton. and seek TO disrupt it?

Bleached Flour Not Nutritious.

J. H.. Sheppard, a professor in the
chemistry department of the South
Dakota State College, testified in tn e
Federal Court at Kansas City Thurs
day that bread from bleached -four
was not as nutritious as that made
from unbleached.
The professor said he had digested
the bread he used in making tests for
the case with aifiuid composed of n.y.
drocloric acid and pepsin. Bread made
from unbleached flour digested quicker
than that made from bleached flour
bread was neve- digested.
''The failure of part of this bread
to digest was due to the presence of
nitrogen preoxide," said the witness.
1t is the Governments contention that
nitrogen peroxide forms when -four is

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
TO MAINTAIN DEMOCRACY

II at the election November s, the
voters of Missouri do not adopt
Amendment No. II the University
may be compelled to charge larger
tuition fees. At present, these fees
are larger than they have been for
several years. If these tuition fees
are still increased, they may well form
an insurmountable obstacle to some
boy who would have otherwise man.
aged to work his way through col
lege. At present, there are several
hundred young men and women who
are working their way through the
school, either wholly or in part.
This democracy is one of our great
est subjects of pride. The University
of Missouri has the reputation of be
ing truly democratic school. If the
authorities are forced to charge high
tuition, We will of necessity, lose oul
democratic character. This would be
a misfortune for the whole state. Mis-
souri, certainly is not trying to built
up an aristocratic school. The Uni
yersity is for all. rich and Door alike
Its object is to educate the young peo
pie of the state, SO that they can bet
I ter serve Missouri. II the Universit.
of Missouri loses it's present compar
atively democratic character, much o
the states work in building up an ed
xucational system will be lost.

RAILROADS HELP FARMERS

The good derived from railroad
by farming section of country has
long been recognized. Much is said
about the great benefits to be derived
by the residents of community when
railroad is proposed-and it is true
that country needs transportation ia,
cilities before it can be well devel-
oped. This fact, however, has, in
perhaps a majority OF cases, been al
lowed to conceal the truth that the
benefits are not all derived by the one
party The railroad depends almost
entirely on the farming country for
its existence. 1t is case of reci-
procity.
The spectacle of locality catering
to the wishes and demands of rail
road is not unfamiliar. But the tables
sometimes are turned. Occasionally
the railroad must eXpend much energy
TO develop the country bordering its
lines. And, indeed, in the last few
years this has become almost a COM
mon practice of railroads.
One railroad. With lines extending
through Oklahoma and Texas-thc
great Southwest-has just taken ?
step in this sort of work. Instead
of exploiting the homestead idea. that
of carrying many new people into its
territory, this road is planning to De
velop the people who live there now
10 make better farmers of them. This
railroad has obtained the services CT
one of the largest advertising syn
dicates in the country to carry on
this idea of education. One OF its frs
steps will be to issue a booklet con
ltaining a few OF the fundamental
things about farming-a farmer:
primer, as it is called.
If successful. this plan of campaign
should prove OF much more lastin!
good to the railroad than method
previously used 1t isn't so much a!
attempt to improve the land as it !;

Certainly this is commendable va

TWO KINDS OF MAINTENANCE {

1t is urged by those who have given
thought to the proposed Amendment
Number II, that it will benefit the
University of Missouri and the State
Of Missouri in many ways. They say
it will enable the University to look
further ahead and adopt more far
reaching plans. The best teachers,
many of whom have gone to other uni
versities in past years, can be kept
at Columbia Tuition fees will be
abolished. Impetus will be given 10
the College of Agriculture which is
yearly increasing the production of
Missouri stock-raisers and farmers BY
millions Of dollars. They say fur
ther that it will place the University
more nearly on an equal basis with
those of our sister states. The cura-
tors, knowing from year to year what
the income will be, can shape the Uni
versity's future in such a way that
a sure and steady growth may be ex-
pected Indefinitely.
Ii money to bring about these bene-
fas should be asked outright by the
proposed amendment, then there
might be grounds for opposition, al
though even that is doubtful. 1t is
asked that the method of furnishing
maintenance for the University be
changed-that is all. Instead of the
legislature taking it out of the treas
ury OF Missouri, the constitution would
simply levy it as separate tax. The
source would remain the same. The
money comes from the whole people
of Missouri by either plan. Under
the proposed plan, the money would
be provided automatically; under the
present plan there is always wTangling
and humiliation for the University.
The amendment would provide the
necessary funds and at the same time
stop the drain on the state treasury.

Viewpoints,
A Blank Fer the Unmarried,

To the Editor of the University Mlssourian:
1t has remained for the Registrar
OF the University OF Missouri to tell
the world that a man is not to be de-
spised because he is married. Mr..
Switzler has just compiled a list of
names of those officially connected
with the University and indicates
among other things the place of resi-.
dence, telephone number, Office hours
and other matters of general interest.
In a very striking way he has also
indicated whether the professor is
married or unmarried. There
are people in the world who would
have placed before the name of a
married man cross-the emblem OF
sorrow and suffering or the skuIl-tbe
traditional mark of despair and death.
Mr.. switzler has been a University
man all his life; he has been in the
homes of the professors and has
known their home life. Even though
the salary is small and does not come
when it is expected and needed, yet
the skull and the cross would be yer;
inappropriate.
So optimistic is the attitude of our
Registrar toward the married man
tnat in front of each name that can
claim the honor he has placed the
star-the emblem of peace and hone
While Mr.. Switzler is to be COM
mended by every married man for his
splendid Judgment in this regard. yer
not SO much can be said as to the
way he indicates the name Of the I'm.
married professor. He has lust left
a blank. Perhaps he is right. just
leave blank. I'M

A STATES UNIVERSITY

D II state is to accomplish its best.
1 it must have a state university. This
j is the reason that the progressive cen
trail states have powerful state univer,
!; sites; they realize the need and pro-
! vide for them.
: The old, purely academic ideal is
! being replaced by that of utility. In
the face of the value of the older and
& more conservative institutions to the
1 nation, it is easy to see that such
schools as Minnesota, Illinois and Wis
/! consin are gaining a contact with the
i people that can not be offset by the
;, traditions of any older private insti-
tuition.
The state University can teach that
(which the state demands. The man
< agement need not worry about being
: orthodox, or whether its policy will
{ be pleasing to few persons. Draw
ing its support from the people of Il
2 whole state, it is not under obliga-
{ tfons to any single sect or individual.
Thus it gains that asset, necessary
and invaluable to all investigation,
Sfreedom..
2 The state universities have come
tinto their own in the last twenty-five
syears, yet in those states that have
sfostered their growth they have be-
scome the most important organiza-
2tion supported by the state. In these
Estates, so close has become the re-
alation between the university and the
economic, social and political life Of
ssthe state, that the state could as cas-
lily get on without it's Supreme Court,
Aor all Of its eleemosynary institutions
gas without its state university.
= The provision which gave to each
estate the privilege of establishing and
supporting university was a wise
zone. Those states that early took up
Athe matter and followed it out Sc
sriously now have universities that
sthey are not merely proud Of but
(which are doing a positive work in
sbettering life in those states.

NEED OF OF A NEW PosToFFIcE

Four years ago, the new post-office
building was erected in Columbia. AT
the time, it was said that the new
building was large enough for town
the size of Columbia. 1t may have
been large enough then. 1t certainly
is not large enough now.
In these last four years, the town
has grown. The post office business
has kept pace with the towns growth.
Already the employees are badly
cramped for space. What will condi-
tions be in a few years?
Columbia needs a large post Office.
