BALLA|NE SPRINGS
ONE BIG SURPRISE

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA new
factor appeared today to add inten-
sity to the already sufficiently ex
cited situation over the Alaska
Coal lands ON the eve of the Ball
niger Pinchot investigation. John
Ballaine, of Seattle, said to be one
of the largest individual property
owners in Alaska, made PROPOSE
ton in writing to the senate COM
mittee on territories of which
Beveridge is chairman, offering the
government a royalty of so cents a
ton on the coal mined for a lease of
FIVE thousand acres of the choicest
coal lands in Kattalla and Manan-
ka district.
On such tonnage the royalty
would net the government, Ballaine
claims, as high as S2,OOO,OOO per
hundred acres. This proposal con-
templates a radical departure from
the past practices in the govern
ment's disposal of Alaska coal
lands and comes avowedly to do
battle with another proposition
embodied in bill that has been
prepared but not introduced de-
signed to permit the sale or lease
of such lands at the rate of ten
dollars per acre.
It is said that the general fea-
lures of the plan have the approval
of high officials in the administra
ton and of the influential members
of both houses of congress, includ-
ing some of the prominent insur-
gent leaders and of Delegate Wiker-
sham, of Alaska. Ballaine in his
letter to Beveridge, offers to give
bonds of 81, 100000 for the per
Torrance of his part of the agree
ment.
He makes the charge that other
interests now have at work in
Washington a lobby headed by
former United States Senator in
support of the bill referred to
above. under whose provisions. he
declared, the government would
extend an unconditional guarantee
to the railroad or railroads which
these interests propose to build in

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of us?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak OF export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with IA
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods Of
manufacture So that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand IS
recognized as without Il rival in clean
illness and delicious flavor. 81

AN IMPARTIAL PRESS

operations OF government inevitably
furnish opportunity Tor scoundrelism.
and against this curse all parties and
the people must continually wage an
unrelenting war" Clearly this is the
policy OF wisdom and OF justice. 1t
was formerly the custom of the par
tisan press. generally. to blind the
pGb!ic TO wrong-doing OF officials
within their own party and to mag
Nifty offenses committed by public
servants OF the opposing political
party. Naturally this results in bias,
prejudice and the miscarriage OF JUS
tice. Bribery malfeasance in office.
Ol failure III llie performance oI puDllc
duties are otfenses against the people,
irrespective OF party, and should be
prosecuted impartially and punished
justly.
The press owes it to the people to
expose truthfuily wrongs OF this ma
ture. TO turn ON the crime and the
criminal the full light of publicity. In
this way. ami in this only. can the
purifying influence OF the press be
telt to the full.

BOULEVARD FOR COLUMBIA.

Now while Columbia, through her
representative citizens, is considering
plans for the future satisfaction and
well-being OF her inhabitants, it would
be well for her to consider the con
struction OF a boulevard.
Such a plan has been mentioned be
fore Now is TIE time for it to be-
come a reality. Since property own
ais generally have sanctioned the
idea. no trouble would be experienced
in getting the right Of way. The uni
yersity would gladly consent to the
construction OF a boulevard through
the state farm property.
a boulevard running from north OF
Town through the town and some dis,
tance south would be of immense
pleasure TO the people and would
make a more beautiful Columbia.

MAGAZINE BUSINESS A GUESS
Scarcely Another Field So Whimsical
and Uncertain

SSa'S Icy HIClISI FIelu SC whimsical
and Uncertain.
The announcement that Putnam's
Magazine is to be absorbed by the
Atlantic Monthly throws an interest
ing light upon the condition of letters
in America.
There is scarcely a field in which
the element OF chance enters so com
pleteiy as III that Of magazine pub
lisLing. Certain OF the periodicals
are gold mines" Others bear as
poets Of q bottomless pit. There is
now magazine for every day of the
month. with a few left over. And
some are catching on and some are
not and the public does not see that
they are not all, in the main alike.
AppletOn,s magazine, for instance
which suspended publication a year
or so ago, fell into the prcatice of
publishing a story by o. Henry and a
poem by John Vance Cheney in a GER
tain issue; and in the corresponding
issue HamptOn's published a story by
Booth Harrington and poem by Dor
Othea Garrison. The next month the
authors were found TO have changed
places. Taken the year through, the
bill of fare was about the same; yet
Appleton's suspended. and Hampton's
is now going everywhere.
Putnam's which is to be merged into
the Atlantic, forms part of a career
which shows how the magazine max
ers are kept guessing. Several years
ago it absorbed the Reader, which, in
turn. had absorbed the Critic. Thus.
the Atlantic will hereafter represent
, three magazines. beside itself.
The fact remains, however, that the
Atlantic Monthly is almost the only
one of the magazines which possesses
marked individuality in these days
| and it will doubtless continue un.
changed. despite the obligations of
another publication which it has as,
sumed.-St. Louis Times.

About Those Chimes.

Ay, tear the battered old bell down,
Long has il peaIed the hours.
Till the sleeping students ears pricked
up
Like lilies revived by show'rs.
And oft at noon his heart has throbed
To hear its fall and swell;
For it spoke 10 that inner aching void,
Sweet as dinner bell.
Alas, the best are cast aside,
And the old gives place to new;
The slippers OF TWO years since have
holes
Where the toes come smiling
through.
SO now few are advising Us.
Burdened with surplus dimes.
To plunk down thirty thousand such
And blow" for a set of chimes.
A bird in the hand"-the proverbs
trite;
When the three-mill tax goes
through.
And Prexy has only to push a spring
For an extra million or two.
And buildings rise in a single night
We'll mention those dimes again
When the state institution is backed
by the state.
But the bell will do-till then.

LOOKING AT
THE UNIVERSITY
The Thanksgiving Game.

ne lHdhNSSI'i'lS SdHle.
Tie strong Endorsement OF the
Thanksgiving football game by the
Kansas university alumni was per
hals To be expected. but nevertheless
it was not only deeply gratifying to
the people generally OF this commun-
ity but was also strictly in line with
right reasoning and the logic OF the
situation. The proposition adopted by
the students OF the university. TO drop
the annua! contest. is. per contra
equally illogical and hasty in its con
cIusiOnS. The objections upon which
the action OF the students was based.
and which bear on their race the ear
marks OF the faculty, are three
namely. commercialism, gambling on
the game and drunkenness Ill connec-
tiOn with it. Taking them in order.
there Is nothing Commercial" in hold
ing the annual contest OF the greatest
eMpitieS more than any other the gen
erouS rivalry that obtains between
Missouri and Kansas, and which con
taius more OF the inhabitants OF each
state il more equal division OF num-
bers than any other city or town in
either state. Where else could be
found an audience which is more thor
oughly representative OF the traditions
and spirit that animate the people OF
the TWO states than right here in little
old *. G.? And where else could a
field OF contest be selected which
would afford more perfect assurance
OF fair play and genuine enthusiasm?
As Tor the gate receipts, which we sup
pose constitute the basis of the charge
Of cOmmercialism. it is certainly no
ground for legitimate criticism. but
rather OF just congratulation that the
people OF this community give such
generous support TO the foo all ath-
letes OF the two univers. .ties-sutfi-
cient to enable them to carry on all
their other athletic sports without tax
ing the pockets of the students who
are greatly benefited by such sports
but who would otherwise perhaps lack
the means TO crafty their love of
them. Without the annual receipts
from the Thanksgiving football game
the athletic features. which now put
I both universities on an equal footing
with the Eastern universities. would
be poor and uninteresting. 1t would
seem like straining foolish pride to
| the extreme to refuse to hold the
Thanksgiving game at Kansas City be
cause it pays large profit there, when
it is universally admitted that at no
other place could such perfect assur-
ances of fair play and genuine love
Of. the sport be found. AS for the
gambling, it would be certainly as
prolific at one place as another; and
the drunkenness, too, does not lie at
Kansas City's doors, for cOllegians are
proverbially well equipped with their
'ticklers." and besides, the young men
who attended these universities have
graduated long since from their baby
clothes and nursehood days. If they
! can not be trusted to behave them
selves in large city now without the
watchful supervision of their mothers
and teachers, then the lessons of NOR
