In Kansas City.

The student who goes to Kansas City
next week will find many things of in
terest to visit in his leisure hours.
For the student of economics. the
pit. on the third floor of the Exchange
building at Eighth and Wyandotte is
teening with interest between the
hours of ten in the morning and one
in the afternoon. The entrance to the
visitors gallery is on the fourth floor.
Each packing house has corps of
guides to lead sightseers through the
cold storage rooms. canning rooms, etc.
Armour's is only short ride Oil the l.
road west from Union Depot
The two largest banks-the First
National al Tenth and Baltimore. and
the National Bank of Commerce at
Tenth and Walnut are worth seeing.
They are models of convenience and
comfort.
A museum is found in the basement,
and an art gallery on the second floor,
OF the Public Library at Ninth and Lo-
Gust. Restful games may be played in
the lounging room of the Y. NJ c. A
building at Tenth and Oak.
Plays that are successful in New
York or Chicago appear at the Shubert
and Willis Woods theatres with the
original companies. The following
year they are likely to be offered at the
Grand by other companies. The Or
pheum and the Empress are favorites
with the vaudeville lovers Of Kansas
City.
An idea of modern business methods
is gained by trip through the large
stores-Emery, Bird & Thayer;
Jones, Peck's and John Taylors.
The game will be played at the Cor
don-koppel field near Electric Park in
| the southern part of the city 1t can
be reached by the Troost avenue or the
Rockhill car line. 1t is likely that ar
part of the crowd on the Prospect ave-
nue. car line.
The first five streets east of Main
street are Walnut, Grand. MCGEE, Oak
and Locust. West of Main street in
order are Baltimore, Wyandotte, Cen
trail. Broadway andWashington.

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
THE FOOTBALL SCALES.

A review of the scores Of the
Thanksgiving games fer the past four
years puts new hope into all Missou-
rians. When the games were first
played the scores were one sided in
favor of Kansas. Twenty or thirty
points used to be made against the
Tigers. who could not score. That was
the day when the scale was uneven
and the balance in the kansans' favor.
But the old order has passed.
The teams on either side of the bal
ances are more evenly matched. In
the last years the games have been
closer In 1906 a scoreless game was
played; then followed two games in the
Kansans' favor, but by relatively small
margins; then last year the Tigers
turned the scales in the other direc-
ton.
This year the teams are we'll balanc-
ed 1t is difficult to decide which will
have the balance in its favor. Large
margins are not to be expected. In
past years united effort on the part of
the students was not SO noticeable,
but. recently it has added weight. May
the fact of the undecided balances
urge all loyal Missourians to put their
whole weight in the contest, and thus
turn the indicator, as it were, for Mis-
souri,.

SOCIALISM MORE POWERFUL.

With the election of Victor Berger,
OF Milwaukee, to the National House
OF Representative a new influence in
the political life OF the United States
must be recognized. He is the first
Socialist to enter the House of Rep
resantatives from any state, and. as
ne says. he probably is only the fore
runner of others in the near future.
Socialism has been called by men
in both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, the problem of the fu-
ture that the dominant poiitical party
will have to solve.
While Socialism has not been ar
gued pro and con, it is a recognized
fact that it is a growing political faith.
and presents a problem that everyone,
even the Socialists themselves. will
have TO help solve. Socialism is gain
ing ground, and it may soon be a
party that will rival other political
parties.

say openly that we would include in
the definition wealth and position.
Yet in large part of our converse
ton and writing and relations with
each other, there is a tacit under
standing that they belong there.
So, into country whose ideals of
what makes a gentleman can hardly
be said TO be so fine as those held in
England, this refreshing statement of
the marks of gentleman comes with
force and helpfulness. Maybe we
shall have as lofty Ideals of our own
when we are as old as England
Meanwhile we shall profit by serious
consideration of such sentiments as
those quoted by Dean Lawson.

Thinks Victory Is Ours.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Even the st. Louis papers concede
that the Tigers are much better
team than they were when they
played in st. Louis fortnight ago.
But the game with the Jayhawkers
will not be decided by the sport writ
ers. 1t will be played and won by the
team itself and it's support. The
Tigers in the field and the rooters on
the bleachers are going to win that
game from Kansas Thanksgiving Day.
The face of every player on the
Tiger team is set, confident and reso-
lutte. The will of every student is
just as determined. Tigers, play your
best! Rooters, keep up the spirits Of
the team by roofing! We've got the
team, we've got the spirit-less than
week now until the victory.

Greet the Alumni.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
If you meet former student in
Kansas City, shake hands with him
and tell him how the crowd has
missed him. Tell him that his college
girl has far-away look in her eyes,
and you are certain she is pining and
signing for him.
The first years out of school are the
hardest, and it warns the heart of a
young alumnus to meet college friends
who assure him that he is still re-
membered.
He will be in the hotel corridor
wistfully trying to get back into the
spirit of things. But he feels that he
is somewhat different from the other
boys. His clothes may lack the col.
iege swagger, or, more likely still, the
cares of business have dulled his
power to instantly harmonic his
mood with that of the other boys.
Draw him into a group that is tell
ing stories of the days when he was
in school-of the military man who
guarded Read Hall on Halloween or
the time the farmers painted the
power-house smokestack.
Make up your mind that you won't
lose your good nature, and that you
are going to have the best time Of
your life. And don't forget to show
the alumnus-or the alumna. if you
are a girl or sport-a good time.

LAWMAKERS at Rollins Aviation Field
The Jayhawkers lost the game be.
cause of their inability to play ball
and keep their feet. They were up
in the air from the beginning of the
game, and never came down.
Missouri chose the east goal, and
when the starting flag was waved both
teams arose from their hangers and
flew gracefully to the center balloon.
AS the teams swooped past the grand.
stand with whirring propellers and
colors flying, it sounded like myriads
of ducks Tapping southwark. A Mis-
souri, player was the first to reach
the balloon and when Herr Mutt, the
referee and starter, tossed him the
acrobat, the game was on il earnest.
He headed his machine toward the
western goal. Just then one of the
Kansas players glided ahead Of him
and the whirl of his propeller caused
the Tigers aeroplane to careen and
glide backward. His aeroplane had
gone behind the starting balloon and
| il was Kansas. The teams were
flying low and Kansas tried forward
pass, which failed and the ball fell
to the ground.
Just here the Jayhawkers lost their
heads and went skyward. The Tigers
settled gracefully to earth, recovered
the ball. and carried it over the west
goal line. When the cheering had
ended the rooters saw the Jayhawkers
mounting higher and higher. When
the entire team had reached an alti-
tude of 1000 feet they circled around
and around, and finally, seeming to
have partially recovered, they headed
west.
According to wireless dispatch
from Lawrence, received just before
going to press, they had not reached
there yet, and it is feared" that the
aeroplanes have become wrecked in
the hot Kennedy trade winds which
are rather strong over that city.
The winning of this game by the
Tigers adds another victory to the
long unbroken line which began over
ten years ago when both teams strug.
gled for supremacy in football. While
the Tigers were rather out of their
environment in the sky, they proved
that they could show the Jayhawk
some fancy maneuvers even there.

TO AID THE RED CROSS.

A movement is on foot to place the
American Red Cross society on a firm
financial basis. 1t is intended to raise
two million dollars for its endowment
and committees OF representative bus
mess men in the prominent cities of
the United States have been appointed
20 raise that amount by private sub
scription
President Taft. who is also presi-
dent of the American Red Cross So
Getty, is at the head OF the movement
and is greatly interested in the sue
cess Of the undertaking.
The importance of the Red Cross
society is known throughout the
world. 1t is the greatest charity or
ganization of its kind in the world
It's banners are seen on every battle
field, and the first succor to stricken
communities is always administered
by the Red Cross.
In the other great nations of the
world the Red Cross is already upon
a solid financial footing, but in the
United States it has not yet secured a
permanent income. The cause is a
worthy one.

ENGLISH VIEW OF "GENTLEMAN.'

In an address at the University as
sembly on the subject English Ideals
of Sport" Dean Lawson of the Mis-
souri, School of Law, quoted an Eng
lish definition of a gentleman in these
words: The King doth only make
knights and create barons or higher
degrees; he doth not make gentlemen.
For whatsoever studieth the laws of
the realm, who studieth in the univer-
sites, who professeth liberal sciences
and will bear the port, charge and
countenance of a gentleman. he shall
be taken for a gentleman"
The words, bear the port, charge
and countenance of a gentleman, -
Dean Lawson interprets to mean that
he shall be honest. truthful and
straightforward; that he shall have a
SoHaiucldlIOu lOi lHe rights anu leei-
ings of others and that he shall scorn
to do a mean or unfair thing"
To an American, perhaps the most
noticeable feature of this happy char
acterization of a gentleman is the Ell
tire absence of any statement about
how much money he shall have. Even
titles are excluded. The author of the
definition took pains to point out that
even knights, barons and higher de
grees" are merely creatures of the
king.
In his positive statement of the ele
ments that make up the composite
which he chooses to call a gentleman
We find these: knowledge of his
country's laws. liberal education. hon
esty, truthfulness. straightforward
ness. consideration for the rights and
feelings of others, magnanimity and
fairness.
We Americans are too consistent tc

1t is doubtful if there is another

the present time than the press. The
things that can be accomplished
through newspaper by consistent
and persistent effort are remarkable.
The significance attached to news

important that what is in the paper
shall be instructive and interesting at

Of us get a great deal of our knowl-
edge of sociology and economics and
all social sciences from our daily
newspapers.
The sensational newspaper can ac-
complish vast amount of harm. 1t
is not always wise to give all the news
to the public even if it is true. The
highest purpose of newspaper is
not so much to give the public what
it wants as to give ii what it should

Before a Big Game.

Gan address made to the Yale football
team before the Princeton game OF
1897, by the late George A. Adee, OF
New York;
The welfare of the game demands
that the three great universities shall
set a bright, example to the others by
playing in the spirit of true gentle
men in word and deed. This spirit
should be so cultivated as to become
the best feature, the highest standard
of the game, each eleven outdoing the
other in trying to be square and hon
Orable.
You are deserving of all praise both
for practically defeating Harvard and
for maintaining this spirit and stand
ard throughout the glorious game.
OF course you will again maintain it
today. The immortal words from
IThackeray's End of the Play ought
to be in every players heart, to grow
,hreadbare with his old canvas jacket
and his memories of heroic deeds on
the gridiron:
Come wealth or what,
Come good or all,
Let young and old accept their part
And bear it with an honest heart
Who misses or who wins the prize,
Go lose or conquest as you can,
But if you fail or if you rise,
Be each, pray God 4 gentleman.
So much for the spirit. Now for
the action. Princeton openly expresses
fear that Yale is not good enough even
to give her close game.
See to that!
Let Princeton find to her cost that
your test in the fire of the Harvard
game has tempered and hardened ev-
cry man of you into the finest steel,
invulnerable, invincible. Hold fast to
your magnificent Yale sand, discipline
and the teaching Of your admirable
coaches.
Keep your wits about you from the
very start. Be alert to seize upon
every slip of an opponent and to re-
trieve every comrades error. Stand
like the rock of Gibraltar.
Advance like the avalanche. With
the GOODNESS of Wellington in your
heads and the fire of courage in every
fiber of your being.
The supreme hour of your life has
come. In few moments ten thous.
and Yale hearts will throb for you on
that arena. Every Yale man there
would willingly shed blood TO see you
win.
And those girls in blue! Mothers,
sisters, sweethearts. their radiance is
over you now.
The loving worship of fair women
for brave men which preserves the
courage of the human race is yours
now.
One and all of them would tear out
their heartstrings to bring you victory
Yale calls you?
Where Yale calls, there is no such
word as fail.
Now go!
Do or die like heroes and gentle.
men. and may the god of battles
crown the Blue with victory.

Their heads were loWly hung;

"Pm the one to smile and strut,
And speaking of wide swath,
Take a glance at this | cut
And he strutted down the barnyard,
AS he'd done oftimes before,
While the others only "rubbered'
And "cussed" their luck some more.
At the gate the turkey halted.

With a big, mean-looking ak.
There's moral in this story,
It's not difficult to see,
He who struts about like the turkey
Is the victim, soon to be.
This is one time of the year when
the turkey has it over the "Chantl-
cleer."
The large corn crop in Missouri this
year will certainly cause a slump in
the popularity of fried mush. That's
great!
Next Thursday is the date set for
the annual Missouri-Kansas football
game, the last game of the season, the
game that will decide whether the
Tiger or the Jayhawk is supreme

Although the Eleventh Amendment
failed of adoption, nevertheless the
University of Missouri was benefited
in more ways than one by the mill-taX
campaign. Perhaps the greatest of
these was the value received through
the thorough advertising the Univer-
sity got.
To almost every town in the state
circulars and other literature were
sent, telling the people about the state
University. Every phase of the work
done here was emphasized, and the
people were shown the kind of school
they are supporting. The needs of
the University were clearly shown,
and the advisability of an arrange
ment providing for permanent sup
port OF the University was demon
strated.
Because the work done in favor of
the mill-taX amendment did not re-
suit in its adoption does not mean that
the arguments Of the friends of the
University did not do the school good.
People over the state who before the
election were scarcely aware of the
existence of a state University, have
now heard of the work being done at
Columbia. This is a victory in itself.
The question of providing for per-
manent support of the University
will come before the people again.
The work done in the campaign for
No. II will stand the University in
good stead at that time.
