THE COMMERCIAL CLUB AND
ELECTRIC RAILROADS

The committee on railroads of the
Commercial club has taken distinct
step towards obtaining an electric rail
road for Columbia. Their plan is to
eliminate the consideration of all eX-
cept one of these roads, and set SyS-
tematically at work TO get this one.
They propose to work for the road that
makes the best general proposition.
This method of elimination is good
one. for the road that is most earnest
in its intentions to build is the one
that will make the best proposition.
1t has been pointed ont that Colum-
bia cannot properly aid all three rail
roads. This is true. But Columbia
can materially aid IN the construction
of one. 1t was realization of this that
led to the action of this committee.
This plan is a good one. 1t is one
that will get the railroad situation in
Columbia on a working basis.
When the committee accepts the
proposition of one OF these proposed
electric lines, it becomes the duty of
the Commercial club and of every citi-
zen Of Columbia to set systematically
to work and see that the citys side of
the proposition is carried out. 1t is
only in this way that Columbia can
obtain an adequate system of trans
portation.

Mock Trial Tickets.

To the Editor Of tho University Missourlan:
As long as there are students who
would buy tickets for speculation, the
mock trial committee should devise a
new method OF selling them.
This speculation evi! can he over
come by selling tickets 1T the door on
the night of the trial. rescrving 10
seats, but letting first come be first
served. This viii save the trouble of
selling tickets days beforehand and

NEW YORK MEN KEEP HATS ON
Woman Complains That They Show
Lack OF Respect to Her Sex.

There is an undeniable tendency on
the part of New York men nowadays
to cling to their hats much more in,
slstently than they ever did before.
L was recOnciled to having men
keep on their hats in the elevators of
the downtown office buildings" said a
New York woman who now lives in
London but makes several trips year
here on account Of business, "as it is
taken for granted that they are as
much out OF doors as the halls. On
the other hand, it is new to me to see
men walking about the corridors or
winter gardens of hotels where there
are women gathered at tables or read
ing with no more indication of the fact
that women are present thah if they
were in the heart of Africa. Men in
New York used to take off their hats
under such conditions and they showed
altogether a much greater disposition
to take off their hats at every oppor-
tunity than they do now."-New York

o the Editor of the University Missourinn:

To the Editor Of the University MissOur!an:
Il have been in the same class S~v-

him This remark was heard among
a group OF students attending fun
eral Of a stranger, but who might have
been their friend.
To have studied in tic same class
six months but never spoken to yoyn
classmate is not strange when one
considers tn" large number Of student :
who have been here four Years or
more and graduated from the same
class without having spoken to one
another.
AS a student walks through the
school buildings and along the streets
every day, he, no doubt. sees many
with whom he has attended class. or
is now so doing He may wish to
speak to some of them, and they to
him; but they do not care to speak
out, because they have not been prop
erly introduced. They all refuse to
try greeting, each fearing to run
the risk Of being considered immod-
est, but each having a desire to know
more of his fellow student. II. W.

YOUNG MEN AND FAR EAST.

Admission to the Far East is now
free to all young men of faith, pa
tience and ability Ancient beliefs and
methods have withdrawn in favor of
the modern ideas and ideals. The
Orientals are now just as pleased to
send their youths to the West to learn
as to welcome the Occidentals who
come to the East to introduce their
latest sciences of social and physical
progress.
The Far East is only closed to those
who have not the foresight of the great
prosperity in the decades to come and
who have not the endurance to over
power the obstacles that must be met
in the first few years.
Although many countries in the Far
East will offer great opportunity, there
is no brighter and better field than
that Of China. The Chinese, a peace
full and highly developed people, are
seeking knowledge to develop their
abundant and varied resources, and
are importing the best methods of the
West to reconstruct their social and
political institutions.
They who have the best to offer will
find a ready market among people
who may have once been sick but
never so weak as to be unable to re-
store their strength and regain their
rightfuI power and position among the
nations of the earth.
Although the Chinese are indus
trious and economical, they cannot
make the best use of their mineral
deposits without the modern machinery
and expert supervision which the
United States may furnish. To make
possible the general distribution of
wealth among the people. the rivers
and streams may help, but are in
sufficient without a network of rail
roads. Railroads can only be built by
engineers who know how. Who knows
how to do this better than engineers
coming from a country that has the
longest and best system in the world :?
China has been able to sustain an i'm
mense population of 400 millions
wholly by clumsy farming and crude
manufacturing. Who can foretell its
possibility in this direction if the ag-
ricultural sciences as taught in the
best schools of this country are ap-
piled in the improvement of the soils
of that great empire?
China has adopted modern system

BERl1N-The Krupps OF Essen
have circulated a private and conf.
Dental offer to well-known scientific
experts for an invention which shall
project electrical energy 10 distance.
The basic idea is to direct powerful
electrical currents into the gas bag Of
balloons and explode them: also to
direct this current into the magazines

of education. Into the beauty OF its
own laws and literature are now
added the science, languages and phil
osophy of the West. Who can be
better fitted to convey this knowledge
10 its people than the SONS and daugh-
ters of parents who have developed
and whose own duties are to perpet-
uate and improve their culture and
civilization?
For men who have more money to
invest than skill to labor, China will
be a great field. The cotton mills, the
silk failures and the blast furnaces.
all backed by rich supply of raw ma
tcrials and diligent workers will insure
a rich return. The great ocean which
washes China's eastern shores will en-
able It's fleets TO carry the products of
its natural resources to ali parts OF
the globe.
To those who have done their work
and had reasonable return for their
money, China will be an Eden in which
to live. 1t is in the zone OF power, the
North Temperate. No more supcrsti-
ton or persecution, but Il cOnstitu-
tional government and a friendly pCO-
pie will meet all who go there. not To
conquer but for mutual benefit.
The Young men ci the West are not
only desired. but needed tC form the
cast with those of the East to play in
the drama of true human progress.
The present is the beginning of an
other young mems era. Ii must al
ways be young mans world. To
youth belongs the enthusiasm that
would overcome the obstacles and Ell
courage important action. Youth has
not learned the intricate Self-interest
but the simple altruism. Alexander
conquered all before he was thirty
three. Napoleon won his brigadicr%
rank at twenty-four.
The Far East is a greater territory
by far than that of Alexander or Ma
poleon. 1t is a field not only for young
soldiers, but for merchants. mechanics,
farmers and educators, for all persons
who can look forward to the most dis
tant parts of the world.

DANDRUFF MEANS BADNESS

Wise people say there is nothing
sure in the world but death and tax
es.
But that dandruff means badness
later on is just as sure as either
death or taxes, and every physician
knows it,
Dandruff is caused by a germ-a
vicious, persistent, tenacious germ
that up to the discovery of one of the
worlds greatest scientists, was sup.
posed to be unkillable. That discov-
cry is called Partisan Sage, and Len
hart, the druggist, who is the agent
in Bismarck, guarantees it to kill ev-
cry dandruff germ and remove all
traces of dandruff in two weeks or
money back.
But Partisan Sage is more than
dandruff killer; it is guaranteed to
stop falling hair, itching of the scalp,
and all diseases of the hair and scalp.
1t contains just enough of sage
properly combined with other in
gradients to make any woman's or
mans hair grow luxuriantly. 1t makes
everybody's harsh, lustreless hair
change to soft, lustrous, and beauti.
full hair Lenhart sells it at so cents
a bottle, or you can get it direct
from the American makers, The Cir
oux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y, at the
same price by express, all charges
prepaid. The girl with the Auburn
hair is on every bottle.
