The University of Missouri

Without question the greatest and
best institution in Missouri is the Uni.
verslty of Missouri Missouri has the
right to boast of many things that
are now making the state great vet
Missourians should remember that our
university is the greatest of all. It
has been the main cause of the states
rapid advancement for a period of
years and if allowed to accomplish
its purpose it will in few years more
make record that will attract the at.
tention and admiration and confidence
of educated people everywhere. The
University of Missouri is in great
measure responsible for the splendid
immigration we now enjoy, it is re-
sponsible to major degree for our
material advancement, our social i'm
provement and our religious progress.
Every true Missourian will give this
school his honest and most helpful
support. 1t is destroyer of social
and religious ignorance and it has
been the means of enthusing the peo-
pie in all things that build and uplift

STUDENT.
That Mill Tax Petition.

To the Editor OF the University Missouran:
We have heard much in regard to
the mill tax proposition Tor the sup,
port OF the university.
The first thing that must be done is
10 get more than 2U.Uru signatures to
the petition in order that it may be
brough before the people of the state.
We have heard that the alumni are
going to have charge OF the WORK
getting these signatures. Getting 30
OUO signatures to a petition is no easy
job. 1t is a big undertaking. Every
student should be enlisted TO the
cause. Every student should take it
upon himself to help in some way.
He should at least realize that the
task is yet to be done and that it is
no easy task. II is one that will take
time, money, and labor.
The students are willing and anxi-
Gus TO help. They are waiting to
know what they can do. Would not
mass meeting be good thing TO out
line some rlan by which every one
could be brought in and given an
opportunity to cooperate in this great
plan. J. F. W.

BASEBALL ETIQUETTE.

Baseball is not entirely game
hedged in by the rules that govern the
caperingS of the players and the oft,
times questioned verdicts OF the UNI,
pire. II is a game that is as much
played by the bleachers full of fans
as by the players themselves. In fact
it is the fans that make baseball.
In this great playing OF the fans
on the Sidelines there has grown up
code that is !. t of the game. So
far this code OF etiquette is unwritten.

Students and Liquor Question.
To the Editor OF the Cniyersity Missolriap:

Since 1900 the people OF the United
States have spent two million dollar.
year for various alcoholic bever
ages. About $5uu. .0U0.uUD are invested
in this industry Some OF these drinks
are poi>ons ii used above certain
quantity. while others are not only
/ harmless. but give energy and
strength. About One-half of the liquor
in this country is temperately used
The best argument against the use
OF liquor is not that it Injuries men
50 much physically as morally. 1t is
not 50 much the liquor as the saloons
that has ruined so many men.
How to prevent the weaker brothers
from being ruined by the excess use
OF alcoholic beverages is social
problem worthy OF the consideration
Of college students more than other
class. as they are considered better
Informed OF public affairs. They
should look at the problem from all
sides. They should investigate how
other countries are solving this same
problem.
That there should be some govern
mental control Of this drinking habit
no one would dispute. But how shall
this be done is the vital question that
college men should help to answer.
Can prohibition be possible? While
one may recognize that the drinking
evil should be condemned he cannot
ignore the many Questions put forth
in opposition. Prohibition aims TO
stop at once the sale of liquor. Can
a evil of thousand years be remedied
in one day? Will not this sudden
move drive thousands of men from
regular employment to idleness and
is not idleness one of the potent
causes of crime?
The other means suggested to solve
this problem are local option, high
license. government monopoly, and
state diSpensary. All these have adj
vantages and disadvantages. 1t is the
duty OF the college man to inform
himself of these methods so as to be
able to study them scientifically and
lead his fellow citizens to fight the
evil in the most helpful way.
Fifty years ago the Norwegians
were said to be the heaviest drinker
in the world. Today they are the
lightest. They are still selling liuuor
but its sale is regulated by the gov
ernment in such way as to make
saloons Improbable
Saloons cannot be moved by fanati-
cal attacks of the good, but often im-
patient people. Disease that has been
long infected requires time to cure.
To completely destroy the evil, it
must be done gradually. 1t is the
duty of the college man, whose educa-
ton enables him to look forward and
outward, to devise a better means 10
uproot an evil which causes directly
or indirectly eighty-four per cent of
the crimes committed in the United
States every year. H w

THE COURTS OPINIONS.

Two notable opinions were render
ed by the Supreme Court Of Tennessee
In the same case on last Wednesday.
One of them by Justice Shields is that
of the able, impartial jurist, who seeks
only the material facts that equal and
exact justice may be done. The other
that of Justice Beard, is the pleading
of an advocate seeking by suppress
ing facts, giving others a meaning
that they do not deserve and through
a maze of legal quibbling and techni-
calities at last finding route to de-
feat the ends of justice. Never was
there so marked contrast between
two opinions delivered by any court
The opinion of Justice Shields will
rank with the other great deliverances
of Tennessee's high court. Calmly,
with rare discrimina-
ton and painstaking detail, the jur-
list goes through all of the confusing
maze OF immaterial evidence and tech

luences of their crimes, and lays bare
he real facts. And one who reads
md carefully ponders Judge Shields
has revealed to him in all
II it's enormity the crime for which
he Coopers should have served life
in the state prison or gone TO
he gallows II equal and exact justice

Judge Shields has little or no regard ,
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1910-04-22

for the specious pleading of the Grim
often appears to be to defeat justice
and prevent the punishment Of crime
Judge Shields believes that laws were
made to be enforced, especially and in
particular the law against murder
He believes that the only way to pro
tect human life is to punish those
who take it; that the only way to
compel respect for the laws is to en-.
force them.
The opinion of Judge Beard is a
distinct disappointment to his well
wishers It Is the specious pleading
OF the advocate rather than the i'm
partial deliverance of the Judge. AS
brief for the Coopers is not weak
document; as the opinion of great
court 1t is entitled to little or no
consideration. The Chief Justice as
sumes that every word spoken by the
Coopers was the truth and that what
ever was said in conflict with their
testimony must be explained away or
altogether disregarded. The Herald
has a high respect for the Supreme
Court of Tennessee but candor COM
pels it to say that it has very little
for this latest deliverance of the Chief
Justice. No admirer of the martyred
Carmack, no one familiar with the
ives character and conduct of the Coop
ers and their victim can have a very
high regard for the judicial ability
and character of one who wrote the
opinion in this case.
1t is gratifying to know that Justice
Neil, than whom there is no more con-
painstaking nor harder
jurist in America, stood
for the supremacy of the law.
We are not disappointed in Judges
