LOOKING AT
THE UNIVERSITY
An "Aareeable Young Gentleman"

William Cross, of Columbia, Mo-.
secretary of the State Board of Chari-
ties, was he"" this week and visited
the county farm. He had some criti-
cisms to make OF the buildings and
accommodation OF the inmates of the
farm. but thought Superintendent Bur
ton was managing the institution re-
markably well under the circum-
stances He visited the county Jail
also. but as the county is going to
have new one we don't suppose he
will mention what he saw in the
old one. Mr.. Cross is son of Newt
Cross. formerly of Clark, cashier of
the Farmers and Merchants bank
here He made the Herald a call
while here and we found him to be

To Help the University.

| 1t is of vital Importance to the state
! of Missouri that larger and more per-
manent provision be made for its UNI
versity. which includes the agricul-
| tural college and school of mines.
The state has not lived up to its re-
sources, its obligations or its oppor-
tunities in providing for its chief seat
of learning. 1t has not even kept pace
with less populous and wealthy COM
monwealths in this respect.
The privilege the people OF Mis-
souri, now have of initiating legisla-
ton is to be exercised on behalf of
the university. There should be no
difficulty in procuring the signatures
of per cent of the legal voters of
two-thirds of the congressional dis
tricts TO a petition to submit the pro-
posed constitutional amendment pro-
viding for specific tax levy in lieu
OF the appropriations now made for
the maintenance of the university. 1t
is hampering and undignitied that the
curators and others representing the
leading educational institution of the
state should be obliged to go to JEFF
fersOn City and lobby for every ap-
preparation that is made even for the
operation of the university. And it is
still more absurd and restrictive that
hn lntn t,,I tnx
which is specifically directed to apply
to this institution, must also pass
through the formality of legislative
appropriation.
The proposed tax levy is only three
cents on each one hundred dollars OF
assessed valuation-a very low rate
for such purpose, yet expected to
yield something more than is procured
by maintenance appropriations, and
for legislative help.
The amendment petition will soon
be placed before the voters of the
state, as the petitions must be filed
in Jefferson City before July l. There
should be such spontaneous re-
sponse to this most commendable !
that, even without much |
effort on the part of the promoters, |
more than the necessary per cent !
of voters will sign in every district in
the state.
Missouri ought to get in line with |.
those states that have made ample |
provision for their universities, agri- |
cultural Schools and kindred institu-

Journalistic Patriots.

Kansas. heralded all over a wide
cXpanse OF national domain. owes its
celebrity to one OF two things; the
vagaries OF its statesmen and poliIi-
clans or TO the loyalty and patriotism
OF its editors.
Every Kansas village or town o"
city has loyal journalistic corps.
which boosts the state and its re
sources from years end to years end
and with never ceasing din and vim.
There exists not among the men who
run the papers OF Kansas one dis
loyal son, whether he be natural born
or the imported article.
And Yet Kansas has no real school
of Journalism, save that OF experience
and state pride. 1t has been said that
the greatest booster in Kansas is
Coburn of the state board of agri-
culture. He writes lyrics on Her
Majesty. the kansan Hen, or His
Royal Highness, the Kansas Hog. aud
every paper in the state publishes
them and runs editorial comment on
the same.
Missouri's School of Journalism
may we'll take up state patriotism
and boosting. 1t might be we'll to
have department OF state publicity
study, where the future editors and
journalists might get better acquaint-
ed with the resources of the state and
what Missouri can do when it trys.
The trouble has for too long been that
the state has not been trying to do its
dead level best. Things have changed
and Missouri's resources should be
exploited as being as versatile and
magnificent as the cast and character
OF her statesmen. Missouri produces
other crops besides Champ Clark=

FOR A VEHICLE TAX.

Some time back mention was made
OF taxing the vehicles in Columbia in
order to raise funds. The article was
discussed feebly and now apparentl,
has been dropped.
What was wrong with this idea. and
why was it dropped? A tax on We
hicles would add to the revenue O.
the city considerably and be per-
manent one at that
Different gradations could be as
sessed on the different kinds OF We
hicles. according to their value.
For Greater Columbia" is the
motto of every citizen; the greater the
city the greater the need OF finances.

No other single institution brings so
great influence Tor the good OF the

character and il its rank amongst
other Institutions OF like nature in
America should induce acceptance of

This is essentially all age OF edu-

university training and specialization.
The University of Missouri the repre-
sentative educational institution OF
one OF the richest and most produc-

To occupy that place requires the

up university. At present the Uni.

Whitten on Gardening.

A lecture that should be especially
interesting and instructive to Kansas
City at this time will be that OF J. c.
Whitten, professor of horticulture in
the University of Missouri, at the aud
itorium of the Central high school to-
night. Professor Whitten will give a
practical talk on home gardening, both
as to utility and Identification. Kan
sas City is famous for its attractive,
well kept homes and for its profusion
of flowers; but it can learn much
about the adOrnment of premises from
man of Professor Whitten's knowl-
edge and experience. Also. at a time
when the city is awakening to the
possibilities of home gardening. and
when the products of the back yard
or the vacant lot may be made big
economic factor in the family, dis
course III soil preparation, seed Sc
lection and plant cultivation ought to
be especially inviting.
The Whitten lecture is one of a Sc
ries given in Kansas City under the
auspices of the University of Missouri
for the double purpose of promoting
farming and gardening and showing
the resources of the State Agricul-
tural College, which is a part of the
City Star.

THESE GIRLS SHARE SECRETS
Even Most Timid Has to Mark Her
ENGAGEMENTS on Bulletin.

1t is the custom in a number OF
girls boarding houses for each young
woman who has an engagement to
announce the fact to the others in
the house. In one house the girls
have placed bulletin in the hall, and
on this each girl is expected TO record
all her engagements, the names of
the men and the places she will visit.
The bulletin is a source of constant
interest, and discussion has already
started as to who shall have it for
a souvenir at the end of the year.
AS rule, none of the girls object
to giving this information. but occa-
sionally some one endeavors to make
and fill an engagement without any
body else's knowledge. In this case,
if the other girls get an inkling of
her intentions, they conspire to break
her of the bad habit of keeping a Sc
cret, and from a long receiving line
at the door when the caller arrives,
or otherwise make things embarrass-
ing for the offender and her friend.
The plan works successfully, and af-
ter one experience of this kind a girl
is usually willing to give the required
notice to everybody in the house.

Boost the University.

The plan to submit a university
amendment TO the Missouri constitu.
ton through the medium of the init,
atlye petition of the voters affords a
fine opportunity to give spontaneous
help to this institution. The peti-
tions will soon be ready for the sigma
lures of voters. In order that the
amendment may be submitted at the
next state elecion five per cent of
the qualified voters of each of two
thirds of the congressional districts
Will have to sign the petition Right
here is where general cooperation is
needed and where the welcome oppor-
, tunity is presented.
There will be no formal organiza-
ton TO promote the cause. The move
ment has been started by the univer-
sity curators. 1t is non-partisan. 1t
is for Missouri. 1t is especially for
the young men and women and the
children of Missouri, to the end that
they may have as fine university facIl-
tiles, as good an agricultural collega,
as the youth of any other state.
When copies OF this petition are
available they should be taken in hand
by every organization in Kansas City
and throughout the state, no matter
what the fixed objects of the organi2a-
tion may be. All the business associ-
ations or clubs. ali the educational or
social organizations. all the women'S
societies as we'll as mems, all the
churches and all the schools should
have a hand in promoting this cause.
1t would seem to be especially fitting
that the subject be presented to the
school children by the teachers. to
be carried home to the voters of the
families OF school children.
The proposed amendment would Sc
cure for the university a permanent
maintenance revenue by making
small tax levy for that purpose and
would relieve the institution of the
burdensome necessity of having to
lobby for every appropriation needed
10 carry on its great work. II also
would be expected TO make the main
tenance revenue somewhat larger
than the university has eniovej
through appropriations, but this in.
crease would not be larger than is
absolutely needed to build up the ir.
Stitution and put it on the basis that
the great State of Missouri shorld
wish it to be.
Every friend Of education, every
voter who has pride in his state, Will
be given an opportunity to furthe,,
this legislation-which will be III,
first instance in the State of Missouri
of direct legislation by the people
Kansas City Star.
