"eooD WILL TOWARD MEN"

Christmas Day is the happiest day of
the year. No other holiday is ceIe,
brated by so many different nations
of the world. Every home of wealth
is brilliantly Illuminated, and children
gather round the broad hearth-stones
taking presents from bullying stock
ings. Grandfathers and grandmotll-
ers join the merry children, and the
day is happy one forsall.
But there are childish hearts that
do not have warmth and mirth on
Christmas day, and there are many
persons stopped with age who culver
in the cold and think of bygone days
and departed friends. The newsboy
on the corner and the old man who
sells shoe strings in a sheltered corner
of the street each deserve some re-
membrance that will cause them to
think of Santa Claus, and of the Saw
ior who was born on Christmas day.
A little gift, friendly smile. or
word of comradship given to these peo-
pie less fortunate than ourselves, will
help make their humble Christmas
day brighter, help them realize the
true spirit of Christmas.

TOO LONG TO WAIT.

The present Congress sitting in
washington is an example of the fail.
ure of Congress to represent the lat
est sentiment of the people. This
Congress may pass laws directly con-
trary to the desires of the people ex.
pressed in the election last month.
1t is thirteen months from the time
OF the election of members of the
House of Representatives until they
take an active part in legislation. In
England Germany, and France, the
legislative bodies are compelled by
law, to meet within certain period All.
ter their election. varying from thirty
to ninety days. In the United States
there is a considerable period after
the passing of law before it goes
into effect; in these foreign countries
laws go into effect much sooner
This is in direct contradiction to the
ideas of the trainers of the Constitu.
ton. They provided that Congress-
should meet the first Monday in De.
cember, but gave Congress power to

A Favorite Spot.

To the Editor Of the University Misscarian:
Each student doubtless has a favor
ite spot around the University-a
scene whose recalling always presents
pleasant impressions-to his mind the
most beautiful place about Columbia.
The gymnasium, shortly after night
fall, holds that place in my mind.
When | leave the building, feeling the
,exhileration which accompanies cold
bath and brisk rub down followed by
"a plunge into the colder air out of
doors, | always stop moment to take
a backward glance at the great stone
structure.
In the center of the picture is the
large lighted entrance, with cleaning
windows on each side, to balance the
light effects of the foreground. The
upper part of the building, by contrast.
is almost Of inky hue, which on moon
light nights looms black against the
light blue of the sky. Without the
light, the building resembles the wall
of fortified city. STUDENT.

THE INVENTORY.

Christmas holidays are the inven-
tory weeks of individuals. The cor
poration, the manufacturer and the re-
tail merchant set aside a few days
each year to find out whether the bus
mess has been losing or making
money 1t is also a time for inaugur-
alton of ideas and plans, schemes
thought of months before, but put
aside because they could not be used
at that time.
Christmas week is to the people
what inventory week is TO business.
except perhaps that persons are un-
conscious OF the balancing process.
What person has not resolved to quit
some more or less bad habit with the
coming of the new year? Where
there has been something in life
in the past year that was detrimental,
or at least not beneficial, the resolve
is made to cast it out.
The New Years resolution is gen.
orally considered joke And with
trivial things it usually is a joke. But
there are more serious resolutions.
A man may resolve that in the year
to come. he will reduce the amount of
time spent in idleness; that he will
keep busy; that he will do something.
And this determination is sure to
bring success.
Why is such resolution made? 1t
follows naturally the self-inventory. A
waste has been found of the raw
materials Of success, the resolution is
an effort to stop that waste.
Christmas week is time to learn
ones self. To know thyself" is to be
an expert in this inventory process.
And the result of this experiences is a
successful life

THE RETIRING BUSINESS MAN.

Some time ago business man in st.
Louis announced that having reached
fortune he would retire and enjoy
life Immediately following this an
nouncement comes one from Geo. W.
Perkins who for many years has been
associated with J. Pierpont Morgan
and who has been regarded as one of
the leading business men of this coun-
try. Mr. Perkins. like the st. Louis
man, has made a fortune, but he re-
tires for different reasons. AS he re-
tires he makes the following state
ment:
New poblems have followed the or.
ganization OF the great cooperative
combination of capital, and it is my
hope that the experience l have had
may enable me to contribute some
thing toward the adjustment of these
matters, which seem to me to be of
the largest consequence to the coun-
try"
There are yet many good things in
American life. There are those who
would have us believe that modern
business starves out the better I'M
pulses in man and yet it remains
true that the most conspicuous SER
vice being done in this country today
is by wealthy men, The American
people will welcome Mr.. Perkins in
this new field of endeavor and will fol.
low his leadership as he blazes out
the way in the solution of some of our
vexing industrial and social problems.
1t is ten to one that after all Mr..
Perkins will get more pleasure out of
life than the man who retires to en-
joy it.

Those Hot Air Furnaces.

10 the Editor OF the University Missourian:
This is a complaint from one who
Is tortured. How we envy you, you
fortunate students who live in steam
and hat-water heated houses. How we
long to be in your shoes. Who? We
who live in those vile hot-air houses.
Such sarcastic statement it is-hot
air. AS if the air were ever hot.
Truly, who can say that the room is
ever filled with anything except gas
and smoke? If You don't want to have
the sore throat. you have to shut the
register every time you hear the old
man fix up the furnace Verify. ii is
worse than no heat at all.
Hot air indeed. 1t is notifying TO
place your hand in front of the regis
ter and feel "a blast of not hot-but
cold. icy air, shooting up to torment
you and make you put an extra over
coat on your bed. All, woe is NE

it should cause an attitude of humility,
feeling of responsibility. and desire
to fulfill ones obligations.
Students of the University of Kan.
sas have adopted the plan of adver-
Using their university during the
Christmas vacation by means of coun-
ty clubs. That method of advertising
has. been followed at our university to
some extent for several years and has
proved good one We ought to per-
feet and elaborate it.
Just word may be the means of
bringing some worthy student to the
University next year. Another word
may get vote for the mill tax when
it shall come up again.

Viewpoints.
For More Reference Books.


Ts the Editor OF the University alissourian:
Because of the small supply, of ref
erence books on certain studies in the
library many students have formed
groups of two, three or four and
bought these books for use at home.
They intend to sell them for half price
at the end OF the semester and divide
the nominal return.
If all these groups should give the
books to the library instead of selling
them, there would soon be plenty of
books on the reference shelves, and
the cost to each OF the donors would
be trif1ing. 1t is all right to preach
to the folks in our home towns about
their duty TO the University, but it
wouldn't be a bad idea TO remember
our duty to the school also.

Athletic Finances

To the Editor OF the University Mlssourau:
Since the decision of the Missouri
Valley Conference that games between
conference teams shall be played on
college grounds the question of the
Missouri-kansas Thanksgiving game
and its finances will arise. 1t has been
stated by those who know the inside
facts of athletics at Missouri that the
Thanksgiving game is the golden
egg for athletic funds. Basketball
baseball and track 80 in the hole"
and it is with the proceeds from foot
ball, especially the THANKSGIVING
game, that the deficiency in athletics
is met Fifteen thousand dollars is
about the sum that comes to each of
the universities from this game when
played in Kansas City. What will it
be when in the college town?
The seating capacity at Missouri is
small, 5000 being a liberal estimate
of those who could see the game. AT
a dollar and half a seat this would
bring in $500. Kansas would get her
share of this. Whether Missouri's
share would be enough to support
other branches of sport we do not
know. However, the funds would be
lessened.
AT this stage the question of the
general athletic ticket comes in and
with it the question as to whether this
"o'tld set athletics on a firm finan-
cial basis. AT other universities the
system is employed. Why should if
not be begun here? It might be tried
for season, and in all probability if
would be found to give support. finan.

alter this provision. 1t probably was
intended that the law would be chang
ed to enable Congress to meet imme-
diately after the inauguration of a
new President, so that he could put his
platform into effect. But under the
present system President can have
no influence upon existing conditions,
except by special session of Con-
gress. until the December following
his Inauguration in March.
This delay in the expression of pub
lie sentiment has no parallel in any
other government, and not only pre-
vents for year the enacting into law
of the peoples desires, but enables a
Congress not representing the people
TO continue to enact laws.
The changing of the date of cleo
ton would not help matters. for No
vember is the practical time for cleo
tons. and it would necessitate the
changing of the date of the Inaugural
ton OF both Congressman and Pres
ident.

4 Lay Sermon.
THE APOSTLE PAUL.

| One of the greatest names among
men is that of the apostle Paul Few
men have been so fortunate in pre-
pairing for their life work and few men
have been more happy in their choice.
And yet Paul was unconscious of his
mission until he was past 80 years
old.
Somewhat Of the cosmopolitan at
mosphere which we enjoy so much
today surrounds the early years of
Paul: His birthplace, Tarsus, was a
city of many races and OF various in
terests. He was of pure Hebrew an
Gentry and a Roman citizen, surround
ed by Greek culture. In the home he
talked Aramaic; in the streets he
spoke Greek.
There are several things in the early
life of St. Paul that are found too
seldom today. His early school train.
ing was carefully supplemented by the
educational and cultural influences of
the home. He acquired his ideals of
life and his ambitions at his mothers
knee. Ten years spent in careful
and systematic study of the Jewish
law and traditions at the feet of CAM
alicl in the great city of Jerusalem
and ten more years spent in thought
and nominations at his home in Tar
sus, fitted him for the great work for
which he was destined.
Courage, enthusiasm, tirelcss effort,
and above all an absorbing devotion
to God and to the extension of Chris
tianity were the characteristics of this
man Paul. His cosmopolitan training
fitted him TO become the successful
world-missio nary and the organizer of
many churches. His enthusiasm and
tireless efforts are manifest in his epis-
ties. written hurriedly and without
strict attention to the rules of gram
mar and rhetoric, which, nevertheless,
are among the 'divinest compositions
of men" and which contain treasures
priceless to every Christian.
. Not every generation can produce a
Paul. but the one Paul stands yet as
an inspiration and beacon light to the
world

The Kansas captain seemed to take
it as matter of course that Missouri
University was naturally crooked
in its athletics. Every school III the
conference knows there is not cleaner
institution in Missouri Vaiiey attn
letics. To support his fear that MIS-
souri, would play Macomber. despite
its announcement to the contrary
Johnson cited the instance OF track
meet in which he charges that Mis-
souri, was unsportsmanlike. He says
that the Anderson twins, both weight
men. were entered in an event. One
of the twins was the better and easily
won first. Johnson charges that in
.tead of the other Anderson competing
when his turn came. the same twin re-
turned and won second in the event.
AS a matter of fact, know posi-
lively that that statement is not true
and is merely an invention OF the
Kansas track men to account for their
losing the meet. The only ground for
the story is that when the second An
derson came forward to compete. one
or two of the Missouri men joked,
saying that they bet it was the same
one competing twice" The Missouri
athletes knew each of the Andersons,
however. and knew that the same An
derson was not duplicating. Several
of the Kansas men, however, took up
the hint, and decided among them
selves that they had been cheated.
Now Tommy Johnson comes for
ward with the story to injure MissOu-
ri'S reputation. TRACK MAN.

REPRESENTATION AND CENSUS

According to the new figures by GEN.
Gus enumeration, Ala members of the
House of Representatives would rep.
resent the increase over 1893 of the
present time. This is an increase of
eighty-two members at the regular ba-
isis of representation, which is 1884,
1000 persons for each representative.
A rate of 100000 persons for each rep
resentative would mean an increase
of twenty-seven members in the
House.
This number is unwieldly, and
should be limited by a change in the
basis of representation. Such a
change may be difficult, but the party
in power usually owes some OF its
success to the growing and developing
parts of the county which would be
benefited by a larger representation.
Nevertheless the increase in numbers
in the House of Representatives must
eventually be stopped
Since there has been decided
growth in such states as Washington
and Oklahoma, an increase in the num-
Der of persons making the basis of
will not seriously affect
conditions. The older states would OBJ
ject to decrease But the good of
the governmental legislation is always
greater than special favors to certain
states, and it is hoped that higher
ratio for representatives will be estab-
lished by the incoming Congress.
