sissippi river commerce. The pro.
moters have gone to San Antonio to
present the plan, and they will ask,
for the sake of the Missouri river
states, tnat the project be indorsed,
if not materially aided otherwise.
1t is recognized fact that the re-
viyal Of this river trade will mean
money to the adjacent states. The
plan has been before the people of Mis-.
souri, the last few years, but every
attempt at actual progress has been
baked because of lack of funds. Pro.
moters are now endeavoring to obtain
government aid, as the dredging and
cleaning of the river will require mil
lions OF dollars.
Once opened up for commerce, the
investment will realize a great profit
because the fields for usefulness of
a river traffic system in the Missouri
Valley are practically unlimited. This
fact is not denied anywhere, but when
the proposition is put before the pub
lie for support, funds are not appro-
priated. But the promoters are not
disheartened, as other projects just
as worthy have met opposition.
1t is now their plan to get the mat
ter before the nation through the Con-
gress which meets this week in the
South. A government appropriation
is what is deemed necessary now. and
it is to show the nation the opportu-
mites for greater commerce in the
Central states that the matter is to
be brought before this assembly.
Not only is Missouri taking def
mite position in this regard, but Kan
sas, too, has joined hands with the
Missouri promoters. Several of the
boosters on the Southern trip are
kansans, and they also are going to
plead the cause. Several Kansans
are quoted as saying that navigation
on the Missouri means better markets
for our crops and better transporta-
tion facilities. The Commercial Con-
gress should easily recognize its real
worth

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
LET US BE THANKFUL

What have we at the University of
Missouri to be thankful for?
Let us be glad for the privilege of
spending period of our lives in such
an institution. Let us appreciate an
executive and a management whom
difficulties seem only to incite to
closer adherence to wise policy. Let
us foster that undercurrent of sober
wisdom and that sense of propriety
which permeate the University COM
munity, and are present even when
all gravity seems lost in excitement.
Let US value these virtues because it
is due to them that wise counsel is
able to shape and mold the sentiment
Of the community
We should be stimulated to increas
ed loyalty by the bright future before
the University-a future that will be
realized through and in spite of diff
culties and disappointments, but
whose realization will be valued cor
respondingly more for having been
thus worked out.
Our thanks are due for the circum-
stances which enable those in close
touch with the affairs and life of the
University to see victory even in the
recent defeat of measure upon
which, we had brought ourselves to
believe, almost the life of the institu-
ton depended.

THE HISTORY OF THE
DAY---THANKSGIVING.

From the earliest years of history
it has been the custom to observe a
time of Thanksgiving. Only recently
has fixed day been set and observed
annually. We find, however, that the
early Greeks and Romans manifested
this spirit of thanksgiving in their
festival days, held in honor of the
goddess of agriculture, and the an
cient Jews held their Feast of Tab.
ernacles' which consisted of religious
services and feasting in the seventh
month, the month corresponding to
our November
The custom of having special DAYS
of religious Thanksgiving became gen.
eral throughout Europe before the
Reformation and was kept up by the
Protestants afterward.
This same custom came to America
with the first colonists. In 1921, af.
ter the gathering of the first harvest
by the Plymouth colony, Governor
Bradford ordered three-days Thanks
giving. Later it was taken up by the
other colonies as they were estab.
lished. During the Revolution the
Continental Congress recommended
days of thanksgiving annually.
After the Revolution, THANKSGIVING
was observed irregularly until 1880,
when the northern states following the
lead of New York made it an annual
holiday. 1t was not until about thirty
years later that the custom became
general in the southern states.
President Lincoln issued a procla-
nation in 1864 making the last Thurs.
day in November a day for special
thanks for the blessings of the year,
and since that time, THANKSGIVING
has been celebrated annually on that
day. The proclamation of the presi-
dent creates the holiday in the District
of Columbia and in the territories
while it is created in the states by
OF the respective gov
ernors.

KEEP COLUMBIA BEAUTIFUL

A great change has taken place in
the appearance of Columbia in the last
ten years. There is scarcely a street
which would be recognized by the
person who knew it as it was a de
cade ago. The paving of streets and
Tile building of many new homes have
helped to make more beautiful Co
lumbia. The many new buildings on
the business streets have done much
to give metropolitan air to that sec
tion.
All this has added to the attractive
ness of the city, but it might have
added much more had the improve
ment been systematic. A board of
civic improvement in Columbia could
do much toward making the city more
beautiful in the future Building reg
ulations are needed here, especially
in the business section.
A law governing the distance from
the street at which houses must be
built would establish uniform lawns
in front of homes. This would add
much to the beauty of the residence
portion of the city. There should also
be committee on public improve
ments which would have as it's first
duty the cleaning of the streets. And
public parks should be provided while
the city is young and the land can
be procured comparatively cheap.
Millions of dollars are spent in
larger cities altering streets and pro-
viding public, parks after the growth
has demanded such changes. Had the
citizens of these cities by foresight,
when the cities were young. provided
plan for the building. much money
would have been saved.
That Columbia will continue to
grow is certain. and that a plan of city
building is necessary if Columbia is to
remain a "city beautiful" is convinc-
ingly pointed out by the experience
OF many large cities.

A NEW SUIT OR PATCHES?

The mere fact that eleven amend
ments to the state constitution of Mis-.
souri, were voted on at the recent
election is evidence of the need of
an entirely new constitution.
These amendments involve many
fundamental changes in the constitu-
tion, and in addition, include many
principles essential to the government
of modern American commonwealth.
Almost every phase of governmental
function was touched upon in these
amendments, showing that the whole
constitution needs to be revised. The
present constitution is obsolete. hay-
ing been made in 1875 when Missouri
had not half the present population.
BY the referendum this revision is
impossible. The election proved that.
1t is impossible for every voter in
the state to acquaint himself with the
necessities of the constitution, hence
much unintelligent voting. 1t also per-
mits the exercise of a prejudiced bal.
lot.
With the great needs for revision
existing under present conditions, a
constitutional convention is the only
efficient method of accomplishing the
needed object. The constitution of
1875 will not answer for the twentieth
century. A call for constitutional
convention should be made by the
legislature.

Student Advisers for Freshmen.

To the Editor OF the University Missourtsn:
Ihe system OF having the upper

men as being tried at Harvard ought
to be productive of good results.
Freshmen naturally look to those of
the upper classes for advice and try
in greater or less degree to pat

the first month or two of the college
career the freshmen are confused
Their entrance into the college COM
munity requires a re-adjustment of
their habits and customs and those
who have already passed through this
period OF re-adjustment and have
adapted themselves to the various
phases of college life can be of almost
invaluable service to the freshmen.
This work can be done more advan.
tageously by students than by teach
ers and officers of the school. To the
freshman there seems to be a gulf
separating him from his instructors.
This attitude is rarely entirely over.

LOWER THANKSGIVING PRICES

Food prices drop as Thanksgiving

recent newspaper article. 1t seems
that prices everywhere have Slipped
a cog and the consumers, of course
are going to get the benefit Such a
state of affairs has not been exper.
fenced for years at this time in the
season.
The order for the reduction in meat
prices has come direct from the big
producers and packers-another re-
markable event. The packers appar-
emily realize that lower prices must
come. and with their promise, consum-
ers can be reasonably certain that
prices will be lower.
The news of such a move naturally
is received gratefully everywhere. es-
pecially among the poor, Anything

cede is always good news, but with
visions of that Thanksgiving dinner.
everyone feels that vote of thanks
is due the packers.

Missouri's Traditions,

To the Editor Of the University Minwrian:
| Why do the colleges of the east such
as Harvard and Yale have such a
strong hold on the young men OF
America? Mainly, perhaps, because
of their traditions.
The University of Missouri is an
old school but little attempt has been
made to establish college customs and
traditions here. Why not name the
| columns after the presidents of the
University and dedicate each column
to the students who attended the
school during the rule of the CORE.
spending president? Such plan
would place the past of the college
more concretely before the students
of today
The alumni, or descendants of the
alumni, of each period, could issue a
monograph for general distribution
telling of the interesting events of
that period-of student pranks. sto-
ries of men now famous, anecdotes of
popular teachers, football tales, real
and platonic love affairs, and anything
else of. value that would interest the
average Missourian or college student.
These booklets should put the Uni
versity in even more lovable light
than is now the case.
The everyday Missourian is a good
fellow and when he comes better to
understand the practical results, ideals
and human interest side of college
life, he will save warm place in his
heart for the University of Missouri.

DRUGGISTS FOR
DRASTIC LAW
Indiscriminate Sale of Intoxi-

Stores Condemned

Pittsburg, Pa. Sept. 14.-Drastic
resolutions tending toward legisla-
ton, vital alike to the drug trade and
the public. some Of which were al
most sensational marked the opening
day of the twelfth annual conven-
ton of the National Retail Druggists
association in session here. Presi-
dent C. H. HUM of Minneapolis, in
his address declared war on the in
discriminate sale OF liquors in drug
stores; emphatically announced that
a reform was demanded and that the
reform must be brought about by the
pharmists themselves. Later in the
day the Ohio pharmaceutical associa-
ton presented a resolution protest.
ing against the laws requiring drug
gists to take out liquor license.
The Chicago delegation demands
the change of the name wood alcohol
to wood naphtha."
An anti-suicide resolution recon-
mended the restriction of the sale of
carbolic acid to mixture of one
third each, acid, glycerine and water
"a preparation that may be taken by
would-be suicides in large quantities
without causing death, while another
having for its object the suppression
of the dope flend" demanded that
proprietary medicines containing
cocaine and other drugs, be sold only
upon prescription.
The diagnosing Of cases and pre-
scribing by druggists was also con-
demned.
