not the children of Missouri need 10
be educated as we'll as those of Kan
sas or Nebraska. or OF Minnesota or
Wisconsin?
Missourians have reason to be proud
of their University. The progress it
has made has been remarkable. Il
has grown in almost every way IN
spite of the fact that it has been con-
fronted all along by inadequate sup
port. Every year brings in larger
number of young men and women
than the preceding one. Every year
sees the addition of new courses. E.-
| cry year the standards of scholarship
are raised and every year sees that
the men and women graduated from
this school are more fitted to enter
upon their life work.

THE eleventh AMENDMENT

The eleventh constitutional amend
ment provides for a special tax OF
three cents on the hundred dollars
OF the assessed valuation of the prol..
erty of Missouri for the support an,l
maintenance of the state University.
The amount coming from this tax
would be set aside specifically foi
the University. There would be nc
lobbying to influence the legislature
to appropriate sufficient funds. But
it should be understood that this
amendment would not bring to the
University larger amount than has
been given it by the legislature. The
advantage in having the mill-tax doe.
not lie in securing a greater amount
but in securing an amount which
can be counted upon. The increasa
III tne amount received from year t.
year would be gradual for it would
have to come from an increase in the
value of the property in the state. The
amount received by the Uniyersits
should increase annually because the
people OF the state are constantly re-
quiring more and more of the Uni
versity.
Why should not the University of
Missouri be supported as literally as
the university Of any other state Of
equal wealth and population? But it
is not. Some states that are even
behind Missouri in wealth and popula
tion give a much greater amount for

THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT

The boy scout idea is attracting at
tention all over the world just at pres
ent. There are great many reasons
Why the movement has been success
ful, but the greatest of them is that
the idea appeals to a boys imagini,-
ton.
There are but few boys in America
r-ho haven't been Daniel Boones and
Buffalo Bills and Diamond Dicks. and
there are but few who haven't en-.
gagged in Indian battles and other per
ilous and exciting experiences. Yet
mas any boy in America had the
chance to learn things of value with
his play, or did his games every really
satisfy his love for combat and scout.
ing expeditions?
The boy scout movement is success
full because it has the heart interest
'Cf boys-many of them. 1t follows
the boys chiefest idea of pleasure
and enlarges upon it. 1t directs his
thoughts into interesting channels. ana
at the same time eliminates the bad
effects which some times result from
boys imaginations.

For Work at Home.

To the Editor Of the University Missouran:
Students of the University are do
ing a good work in aiding in the dis
tribution of circulars for the proposed
Amendment No. II, but more prac-
teal work may yet be done on elec-
ton day by those who can not get
home to vote. Students should go to
the smaller precincts in and about Co
lumbia and carry on a systematic
campaign among the voters as they
come to cast their ballots. 1t is the
final argument that counts. Organ
ize in groups, and work all day at the
polls. The mill tax at least would

TO the Editor Of the University Missourlan:
It's pretty easy to talk mill tax here
in Columbia where every body else
is doing the same thing. 1t may not
be quite SO easy when we get home
but we ought to be so full of the mill
tax spirit that we could talk to any
person or group of persons on that
subject. We can approach any voter
with bold face and ask him to vote
for the Eleventh Amendment for ne

THE MILL TAX AND COLUMBIA

The MILL AK AND COLUMBIA
The same interest in the passage of
Amendment No. II should be manifest
as characterized the rebuilding of the
University after the fire in 1892 At
that time, it looked doubtful whether
he University would receive suffi-
cient encouragement from the legisla-
sors to justify the erection of new
buildings. A similar condition con,
fronts the people of Columbia.
Unless permanent and fixed
amount is devoted to the University
the growth of the school will be i'm.
paired. This directly affects the peo
pie of Columbia in slightly different
degree from the earlier experience
when the fire destroyed the main
building. 1t is up to them to carry
the amendment in Boone county and
aid in making the mill tax a part OF
the constitution of the state.
Citizens should not be satisfied by
the casting of their single ballot in
favor of Amendment No. II. They
should talk to friends and relatives
and make the campaign personal
|affair. The most effective campaign
is one of personal work. Each voter
should make it a point to see that
two or three other votes should ac
company his in favor OF permanent
support for the states greatest school
University Missourian., 1910-11-04

A vote for the mill tax is a vote for
a greater school. 1t is vote to free
the University from the mistakes OF
an early constitution which could not
have foreseen the possibilities of the

for permanent support rather than
"a biennial gift from a depleted treas.
ury. 1t is vote for higher and more

SAID Concerning
The Uniuersltu

1t is the duty of every student nj
the University of Missouri to get
votes for Amendment No. H." Those
who can vote must keep saying.
Come thou and do likewise to the
Eleventh Amendment
Each and every farmer Of Boone
lcounty should have a personal
Interest in Amendment No. IL. They
have advantages for obtaining advice
from the College of Agriculture which
other farmers do not have. A vote
for the proposed amendment means 4
permanent support for the University,
land a better College of Agriculture.
Among the people of the state, none
should be as favorable for the pro-
posed Amendment No. II as the voters
in Boone county. They are really the
cnes who may get greatest results
from the University. with it's College
of Agriculture and Experiment Station
within easy distance from their farms.
The mere fact that a university is sit
Euated in county means much to that
fcounty. Each and ever voter of
Boone county owes vote to the Uni
lversity for the work it is doing. He
| may pay that debt November S by
casting ballot for Amendment No.
III.
! Every voter of Missouri, no mat
tier what political party he belongs
to, should vote for Amendment No.
II. The adoption of this amendment,
means bigger and better University.
The University exists for service to
the state. 1t furnishes the highest
intellectual training possible to get
in Missouri. 1t aims to prepare the
young men and women of the state
flor the many-sidedness of life. 1t
breaches out directly to the citizens of
| the state and helps them in their diff
ficulties whenever it is able. A great.
ler University will do more toward
making a greater Missouri than, any
other state institution. Therefore
1t should receive the support of
IAN loyal citizens of the state.

COLUMBUS MAN
GROUND TO DEATH
INMATE OF MILWAUKEE SANA
FORUM ESCAPES AND LEAPS
BEFORE TRAIN.

Milwaukee, Jan 29.-Suffering from
nervous prostration, Jesse Smith, a
patient at the Milwaukee sanatorium
in Wauwatosa, escaped from his room
yesterday morning, and clad only III
a night robe, ran screaming down the
street and threw himself in front OF
passing train, being ground to
pieces underneath the Weels.
Smith was As years of age and
lived in Columbus, Wis. He was
brought to the sanatorium about five
weeks ago for treatment. He suffered
from various and strange hallucina-
tons and at times became quite vio-
lent.
He had to be closely watched. Yes
terday morning about $50 o'clock, a
nurse entered his room, carrying a
drinking glass in one hand and bot
tie of medicine in the other.
Smith lay in bed, staring wildly at
the ceiling. On seeing the nurse, he
leaped from his bed, and brushing hen
aside, ran into the hall, thence into
the street and toward the Wauwatosa
depot of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railroad.
There were but few people on the
streets at that hour of the morning,
but the mans maniacal screams
aroused the neighborhood. AS he
neared the depot a southbound passen-
ger train came rushing along Smith
saw the train and ran directly for it.
He leaped on the track within few
feet of the oncoming engine. He was
struck and hurled twenty feet in the
air and fell in front of the train again,
to be crushed beneath the wheels.
Charles Judson, Wauwatosa under
taken, has charge of the remains,
which will be shipped back to Column

ST|RS MIL WAUKEE
LETTERS TO DR.. KEMPsTER RE-
GENTLY DIVORCED BASIS
OF $4,000 SUIT.

Milwaukee, Jan. 29.-Letters written
by Mrs. Kate A. Townsend to DR..
Walter Kempster and now in the pos
session of Mrs. Frances Kempster, re-
Gently divorced from DR.. Kempster
are at the bottom of the $4,000 Sian
der suit of Mrs. Townsend against
Mrs. Kempster and her sister, Mrs.
j. " Quarles, Mrs Thomas Ferguson
and Mrs. Thomas H. Brown.
Attorney Edward P. Villas for Mrs
Townsend said that the contents OF
these letters had been misrepresented
and that his fight would be to have
them produced.
Mrs. Townsend does not know
what has been said against her except
in what has followed as a result OF
what was said,'' he declared. Il have
known her from little girl and / am
sure there is absolutely no truth in
the charges made against her in con-
nection with the Kempster divorce.
She went away this winter in the
hope that when she came back to
Milwaukee everything would have
been quoted down.
When she returned, however, she
found, according to the complaint,
that a conspiracy had been started to
have the doors of Milwaukee society
closed against her and that a move
ment was on foot to have her expelled
from the Daughters of the American
Revolution and from the Woman S
club Of Wisconsin
Mrs. KempSter was cited to appear
at 10 a. m. February 2, before Court
Commissioner Joseph w. Collins at
Port Washington as it was understood
that she had been residing in Thiens-
Vile, Ozaukee county Mr.. Villas,
however, has an affidavit saying that
she resides in Milwaukee, living part
OF the time with her sister, Mrs.
Quarles. According to Mr.. Villas, the
matter will be taken up here, follow
ing conference between himself and
Robert McMynn, attorney for Mrs.
Kempster.
Attorney Villas said he had filed no
papers in the case and that the first
steps in this direction had been taken
by the other side. From notices so
far served, he was of the opinion that
the case would come up between Jan
uary 81 and February S.
I'VE SHAH seek to prove the abso-
lutte truthfulness of Mrs. Town
sends letters, said Mr. Villas. "She
has no copies of them and she has no
recollection of what she wrote We
won't have them or Mrs. Townsend
misrepresented. We will stand or fall
by them"
Mrs. Townsend has been ordered to
show cause at 10 d. m. today before
