STRIKE Is NOT EXPECTED
Steel Corporation Treating Threats With

10 is reported from the East that

gamated control up to the middle OF
this year. when the corporation de-
clared for an "open shop +" The work
ers struck. but the mills are running
with non.union men. That strike has
been a complete failure.
It is said that the management Of
the Steel corporation believe that IL
the association could not win In a
strike in mills which II once controlled
the men, it win have very little chance
OF making any headway in an attempt
at a general strike. The business men
In the tin plate district we're not in

The corporations is paying as high
wages now as IL ever did. It did not

did several Of the independent steel
manufacturing companies. II is doubt.

where music is not liked. Its value as
a pleasant pastime is appreciated and,
wherever at any public meeting, the
good will and a jovial spirit of the
people are desired, music acts as
the agent for bringing it about.
If the ordinary community attaches
great value to music the university
community should attach still greater
value. To those who have trained
minds music will naturally appeal.
To those who are desiring a liberal
education it cannot help contributing
it's share in producing an educated
man, for it develops the aesthetic ma
ture.
The value of music, then, consists in
it's ability to appeal to mans aesthetic
nature. 1t is valuable from an educa-
tional standpoint and from the stand
point of pleasure. 1t breathes into
the old and the young new life and
inspires them with new and loftier
thoughts.

The Great Kennedy.

LAWRENCE, Kas. Jan. 6.-The
saddest man in the Missouri Valley
is Bert" Kennedy, coach of the Jay
hawkers. Kennedy owns up to the
fact and his countenance betrays it.
The reason for the sadness is that the
coach has learned Roper will not be
at Missouri next year. When the re-
port came that Roper had an offer
from Princeton Coach Kennedy hoped
that he would not accept. He knew
that the Princeton proposition would
take all of Roper's time and he
thought that the Missouri coach would
not sacrifice his law practice to such
an extent. At least he hoped that.
Kennedy has been framing up plays
to use against Roper next year at this
early date. There was nothing that
ever hurt him and Mosse half so much
as the defeat at the hands of Mis-
souri,. That defeat still sticks in their
craw. 1t is hard for them to get over
it. And the only thing that could have
made them feel better is a victory
over Roper next fall.
Kennedy is certain that he could
even up with Roper next year. So is
Mosse. They were both chafrg in
their harness waiting for next season
to open. Roper was a marked man.
They We're after him, and they were
going to get him.
Il wanted Roper to be at Missouri
again next year." Kennedy said to-
day. Frankly, we were going to beat
him. The idea that the Eastern game
was better than the Western style got
me. | know them both and they are
the same. l wanted to defeat Roper
and prove that Princeton did not have
anything over the Vest
(kas.) dispatch in the Kansas CITY
Star.

FOR A GOOD COACH.

The fact that Coach Roper is not
to return to the University of Mis-
souri, next fall has not created much
of sensation among the students.
This attitude of the students is sig
nificant. 1t signifies a confidence that
has in times past failed to exist
Coach Roper was as popular at this
university as man could well be-
The students and alumni would have
met nearly any conditions he might
impose to secure his services for an
other year. The reason was that they
had confidence in Roper and his abil-
ity. Now that Roper is not going to
return there is no great hubub of COM
plant or regret.
The students and alumni feel con-
fident that the University of Mis-
SOull HdS TedCueu IHe stage where
1.-The best is none too good and that
the athletic committee of the univer-
sity will get the best that can be
got to take Roper's place. The ath-
letic committee will do its best and
the students have confidence in it.
So long as Missouri remains unified
in that spirit and determination that
won last Thanksgiving the necessity
of the best coach in the country be-
comes greatly diminished. The work
of the coach, whoever he may be.
next fall has been greatly lessened
by the work that was done by Roper
upon the spirit of the general stu
dent body last fall.
