A statement was issued today by

It re-establishes American shipping,
will be practically helpless i'm case of
war. This warning obtains particular
force from the fact that both Admiral

LET JUSTICE BE SWIFT

specially should justice be swift and

negro population here. and as a whole
the negroes are of good character
But if such crimes are allowed to 20

the character of this negro population
might easily be changed
II such crimes become frequent
here, it would hurt the town much

her New England rival surpassed her
Reasons for the greater increase
in the population of Massachusetts, a
state one-eighth the size of Missouri
are difficult to ascertain, but it is
probable that the increase in the i'm,
portance of manufacturing during the
past ten years is chief. The lands
open to settlement in Missouri arc
now practically all gone. 1900 acres
remaining where in 1890 there were
1,151 900. The lack of these lands,
once a magnet to draw settlers, ac-
counts for a smaller increase in new
population.
More immigrants have entered the
United States within the past decade
than at any time previous, and these
immigrants naturally remain in the
East, settle in manufacturing COM
munity like Massachusetts rather
than in an agricultural community like
Missouri. This accounts for one item
of increase favoring Massachusetts
over Missouri.
Several million acres of lands in
the West have been opened to set
tiers in the past ten years, and have
drained the population of Missouri in
their settlement.
While it is hard to explain. it =
evident that Massachusetts has sur,
passed Missouri, and now it remains
for Missouri to come to the front and
surpass her little rival of the New
England states. and if possible to pass
Texas, and in 1920 resume her place as
the fifth il population among the
states of the Union.

About Knockers.
TO the Editor Of the University Missourian:

What's the use OF anything?
This seems to be the attitude of a
number of students at the University
of Missouri They don't take part
in any class organization, they don't
study much, they are not interested
in athletics, they don't do anything
but knock.
Holding oneself aloof from every
thing disdainfully is not being inter
lectual-it is merely morbid cyni-
cism. Cynics never did much good
in the world. The great things have
been done by men with enthusiasm.
Perhaps enthusiasm may be misdi-
rected.
We may be too care free. We may
support football too much and not
pull for the mill tax enough.
But at any rate, being more Or less
care free is better than being a pes
simistic growler who does nothing
but knock everything and everybody,
and does nothing himself to remedy
the evils he growls about.
After all, it is still the same Old
answer: thing is worth while if we
make it worth while. 7. X. S.

Root!
To the Editor Of the uniyer.lty Mlssourian:

To the Editor OF the University Missourtan:
The defeat of Missouri by Ames
Saturday in football put crimp in
the chances of the old gold and black
for the Valley supremacy. Missouri
rooters feel that the game should
be theirs, just as they felt that Mis-
souri, would beat Kansas last Thanks
giving day. The Tiger supporters
relied on the same Missouri spirit to
carry them through the game Satur-
day that carried them through last
season, but apparently the spirit failed.
This may be due to adverse luck,
lack of spirit, or inefficiency of spirit.
But it is evident that whether the
spirit was lacking before the game or
not, there will be a tendency to al
low this spirit to grow lax since the
defeat, unless the rooters guard them
selves. Many feel that they put their
faith in what resulted to be & false
idol, but this view should be avoided
and guarded against. A team can not
be ever victorious; allowance should
be made for expenditure of similar
effort in other institutions.
The defeat was bad medicine" to
Missouri enthusiasts, but If judged
in the right light, it should be an in.
centive to harder work and more eX.
tensive effort. There are other con.
tests to be decided this fall, and some
of them are more important. Mis-
souri, still is in the first division of
Valley football, and the season is just
well under way. Harder work and
more spirit can remedy Saturdays hui,
initiation. Missouri can still show
you" championship football. with the
students behind the coaches and the
team. r.

rector of athletics at the University

mate of him printed recently in a pa

SOME "ADs" THAT DECEIVE

In looking over a newspaper you
are often attracted by an exceptionally
we'll written headline over what you
suppose to be an ordinary news story.
You find that the story has an inter-
esting lead and you read almost to
lie end before you discover that you
have been trapped into reading a
patent medicine advertisement. This
sorm of advertising, is to be found
more frequently in country papers and
small city dailies. 1t has long since
)een tabooed by all the large and rep
liable city dailies. 1t is called "dis-
honest" advertising, and justly so.
The fact that it is so common in
he small papers is not due to any
dishonesty on the part of the publish
ers of the papers, or to any desire to
ool their readers. 1t is due to plain
ignorance of the art of advertising.
Men who have made advertising n
study, and understand the psychology
Of it have found out long ago that this
manner of drawing the attention of
the public is not successful.
A man wants to read advertising of
his own free will. He does not
'Iant to be tricked into it. When a
good news story turns out to be
latent medicine "ad" the readers in
crest changes to disgust and lie
passes on to something else without
'eading the rest of it. Advertising
Il this sort does not please and con-
sequently cannot pay.
