Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 25.-The BIT
ter factional fires are to be rekindled

going to institute war of reprisal in
many of the senatorial districts. He
lis going to take hand in a few of
the congressional scraps. Also he is

he does want to get to work spend

minor matters included in the COVER

The governor has been advised to
get out another special message, one
that will sizzIe and fire it into both
branches of the assembly next Tues
day morning, informing them that
they should be men enough to either
vote the bills up or down and not to
try to dodge responsibility by smoth-

If the governor could get his wa

But whether or not he gets his

A HumiIiatinc Error.

Mrs. Parkhurst, the leader of the
English suffragettes, said at a recent
luncheon at the Colony Club in New
York:
And the women We're mistaken. and
their mistake was humiliating. 1t re.
minds me of a Savoy supper.
"Supping at the Savoy after the
theater were a man, his wife and a
small party. The wife, while course
OF lamb chops was being served. spied
friend in the alcove overlooking the
Thames and went to speak to her a
moment. the two tables not being
more than six or seven yards apart
While the wife stood talking ami
matedly to her friend, the waiter at
her husbands table removed his lamb
chop before he had finished it. When
he noticed this he exclaimed in a loud
voice:
Goodness. where's my lamb?
His wife heard him above the noise
OF the restaurant and, smiling at him
sweetly, she called:
Here l am, darling!'"

Is This Student Law

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
| have been watching the viewpoint
column of the Missourian Tor some
thing regarding an Easter holiday.
Surely if the Board OF Curators knew
how anxious the students are for a
holiday in the spring. they would pro-
vide one of q few days length at least.
The Missourian is in the best position
to bring it to their attention From
Christmas until June, more than Sc
mester, there is no holiday, excepting
the stunt days, which serve only to
draw the student from his studies for
few hours. What everyone wants
is a holiday of several days length
in the spring-just at the time he is
anxious to get away from the CON
tinual grind long enough to draw \
good breath. Nearly every large
school in the country gives Easter
holidays. Why is it Missouri cannot
have them? Somebody seems to de-
light in keeping from the students
every concession he can.

Remarkable Concession.

Then he was elected President of the

was elected President again. He was

forcible. He was an expert fisherman
Late In life he retired to Princeton

THE NEWEST BOOKS.

Those books which do the most
good in the world are those which
set men to thinking. This task has
been well accomplished by Harold
Bell Wright in his latest book, "The
Calling of Dan Matthew'S" The points
to which Mr.. Wright has directed
attention are the defects in the
church. The scene of the story is in
the Ozark Mountains in little town
called Corinth. The hero is a Young
preacher, Dan Matthews, who comes
to Corinth to be pastor of Memorial
Church. At first he is well received.
Later, in preaching the conviction of
his own heart and in the befriending
Oh poor boy and his mother, and
poor, innocent girl, for whose bad rep
utation certain persons in his own
church were largely responsible, he
is driven to resign his position as
pastor. The most influential member
in the church turns out to be the
meanest and the lowest.
The heroine of the story is nurse.
Hope Farwell, who comes to Corinth
to aid in taking care of the sick.
She does not belong to the church
but evidently has a good Christian
character. 1t is through her and
Dams good friend, the Doctor, that
Dams eyes are opened to the real
condition OF the church. The Book

Fraternity Conference Held,

Sixty men, representing about fifty
colleges and twenty-six college fra
ternlties. met at the University Club
in New York City on November 27 to
talk over fraternity life in the colleges.
The conference, which was called at
the instance of President Faunce, of
Brown University, is the first of the
KIND held in twenty-seven years.
The delegates met with the under
standing that they had no power to
commit their fraternities to any line
OF action. At the close of the confer
ence it was voted unanimously to
hold another interfraternity confer
ence within year and to arrange for
the cooperation of all college frater-
mites.

New Plan at Yale.

From Yale comes the announcement
that she will educate foreign students
in their own learning. The complaint
has long been heard from the native
homes of foreign students that they
are compelled upon coming to Ameri.
ca to neglect the language and the
classics, as well as their history. of
their own people. Accordingly Yale
University has now appointed a
Chinese graduate instructor to en-.
able Chinese students to continue
their native studies here.

Would Revise Football Schedule.

| To the Editor of the University Missourian:
AS one who has followed football il
| Missouri for six years, ask the fol
| lowing question: Can our university
afford to play football with any other
eleven in the state henceforth?
realize that this would mean that
Washington, Drury, Tarkio, Westmin.
ster, Central and all the state normal
schools would be barred Such teams
as Rolla Ia part of the university
Manhattan, Monmouth, Knox, Wa,
bash, Washburn or Oklahoma would
make our team hustle to win, thus
Strengthening us for more important
conflicts.
BY going into our neighboring states
for games with state universities,
such as Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska.
Iowa, Oklahoma. Arkansas, Texas.
etc, we would not only create state
pride in our university for such vic
tories as we might win, but in addi-
ton to this we would not be creating
any opposition from any source within
the state by such games, as we have
formerly done by playing the state
normal teams, and as we are now in
curing yearly by playing Washington
University in ST. Louis.
Our game with Washington has al
ways been secondary TO our Interstate
game with Kansas. In the last six
years Washington has not produced
an eleven that has given any team
beating it anything to crow over. The
advertising Missouri has received in
the st. Louis papers has always re-
bounded in Washington's favor, and
has never been beneficial to Missouri
in the Southwest, where our school
needs and derives support, as a game
with some representative Southern or
Western eleven would have been. St.
Louis papers and ST. Louis people can
not be blamed for favoring their own
We might better pursue neutral
state policy of football, and play Hi
nois in ST. Louis. We could thus re-
ceive the united support of all of st.
Louis citizens, and (by walloping
other state teams and leaving our own
college elevens to fight it out among
themselves) could aid in building up
a state pride in our school that might
be of value in dollars and cents when |
the next legislature meets at Jeffer-
son City,
l would suggest the following sched-
lle along these lines:
Monmouth or Knox in Columbia.
Rolla or Manhattan in Columbia.
Oklahoma in Joplin.
Iowa in Columbia.
Nebraska in ST. Joseph.
Askansas or Wabash in Columbia.
Illinois in st. Louis.
Kansas in Kansas City.
