sisting of Scripture reading and pray
er and followed by testimony from
various members.
Mrs. Vayinger. state president, pre-
sided over the institute in her usual

press in our work to disseminate
knowledge and chrystalize sentiment
was dwelt upon.
Mrs. Stanley presented the next
Prohibition, What More Will There
be for the w. G. T. U. to Do?" The
thought was presented that state wide
prohibition will not solve the problem
of the elimination of the saloon. She
said National prohibition, will place
the liquor traffic on the same plane
as other crimes, murder, arson, etc.
We have worked, will continue to
work for this. This accomplished we
will still have the results to care for.
The social evil, the narcotic habit,
and gambling with other evils will
still remain among us and woman S
work is to lift up the world.
Rev. Traum spoke few minutes
upon the evils of the cigarette habit.
After noontide prayer the institute
adjourned to meet this afternoon.

FIREMAN DRAW LOTS


The firemen have drawn lots for
their vacations and Phil Riley is the
first to get off. Mr.. Riley began his
vacation today and will spend a week
at Logansport, returning to duty next
Saturday. Frank Carter will be the
last to take his vacation, his rest per-
iod being the last week in September.
No two firemen will be permitted to
be Off duty at the same time. This is
the first year in which the firemen
have been granted a vacation They
have been endeavoring for some time
to impress upon the mind of the board
of works that they were entitled to a
vacation just the same as the police
men and are now very jubilant over
their success.

peasant lad in dull little village in

Why Beat Kansas?

| To the Editor of the University Missourian:
Each student has his own views on
this question, but if he had only a
few seconds to answer he probably
would reply: Just because
To the Anglo-Saxon. hard fought
physical contests are the spice of
life. May the better team win" is
the toast ii contestants in cricket
polo, golf, baseball and football alike.
because of this love. there has arisen
in America the plan of pairing the
football teams most nearly equal in
strength, and of saving the game be-
tween this pair as the goal of the
season, the last game on the sched-
ule. When to the natural desire to
be successful Of the men on each
side is added keen desire for su-
premacy from other causes, there is
a battle royal.
In our case, the states of Missouri
and Kansas have been rivals in
every respect since the civil war. If
one produces more wheat, the other
leads in spring chickens and eggs.
If one has more beef cattle, the other
eXcels in number of dairy herds. If
one has William Allen White, the
other has Harold Bell Wright. If
one has Bristow and a Stubbs. the
other has q Champ Clark and a
Hadley. If the leaders of education
in Kansas are Chancellor Strong and
President Waters. Missouri comes
back with President Hill and Dean
Mumford.
Without Kansas in the race, Mis-
souri, would have little incentive for
its best. But when Mis-
souri, has sinews like steel and plen-
ty of wind, when the spirit to do or
die handed down by the early set
tiers. from "Old Kentuck" and Vir-
ginia is added, and when the deep
rooted desire of the Anglo-Saxon to
win the day is counted in the assets.
why, Missouri can't help winning.
That is, of course, if she fights shy
of those two paramount evils. over
and under confidence,
Kansas must be beaten.

Defeat of No. II.

The defeat OF the eleventh, amend
ment providing for the proper finan-
cial endowment of our state university
is to be regretted. Had the question
been presented by itself, with the pub
lie mind free from the harassing COM
plications of a political contest and
a sheaf of other proposed amend
ments, the verdict doubtlessly would
have been favorable.
AS regards constitutional amend
ments the lesson of last Tuesday is
clearly impressed. There should be
limit to the number of constitutional
amendments proposed at one time, and
questions of this character ought to be
submitted in the iOslation of their own
merits
There has been some apprehension
that DR.. Hill, the president of the state
university, might except very flatter-
ing offer TO go elsewhere if this amend
ment were defeated. 1t is known that
another institution is desirous of OBJ
tanning his services. If this should be
included among the consequences of
Tuesdays decision it would indeed be
deplorable. Notwithstanding the reiec-
ton of IL" there can be no doubt that
the people Of Missouri are justly proud
of the state university and are ready
to do their full duty by the institution.
All that is wanted is that the oppor-
tunity to do that duty be presented
under fair circumstances.-Joplin

Ths Man Hiuher Up.

THE Man Higher Up" is styled by
Henry Russell Miller, its author, as the
story OF the fight, which is Life, and
the force, which is Love. The hero
is a man of the crude ore of which
fine steel is made, who fought his
way from tenement waif to newsboy
mill hand, ward leader, party boss,
mayor of great city, governor of a
great state. The story abounds in
character sketches of the enemies who
opposed him, of the women who loved
him and of the women whom he loved.
