LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
FOR THE BEST MUSIC.

The announcement that three OF the
most noted musicians in the country
will be heard here this season is news
that will be welcomed by students,
faculty and people of Columbia. The
opportunity of hearing musicians of
the class of Kirkby Lunn. Yolando
Nero, and Mischa Elman is one which
few towns of Coumbia's size have.
1t is, moreover, especially good that
the series includes vocalist. a pian-
ist. and violinist.
Last season the price OF tickets for
the three Symphony concerts was So.
Although this is lower than the price
charged in the cities for such con-
certs. il is nevertheless true that
many students could not afford to pay
that much. 1t should be the aim OF
uuslcIOFeTS at Inc University OF Mis-
souri, to give everyone the benefits OF
first-class music. The announcement
that tickets for this seasons series
will be sold at $3.50 in the main sec.
tion of the Auditorium and 81 in the
gallery will make it possible for a
greater number to attend all three
concerts this season than ever before.
1t is for the University and Columbia
people to show that they want the
best Of music and their support of the
concerts this season will surely prove
that they do.

COLLEGE MEN AT THE POLLS

There have been founded recently
all over the country organizations
known as College Civic clubs. Their
object is much what the name indi.
Gates, club OF college men formed TO
consider and attempt solutions of civic
problems. On election day the mem.
osrs watch the polls and serve as chal.
lengers to see that no frauds are car.
ried out.
But the work is not confined to
merely watching thspolls for one day,
o. listening to addresses made them.
They work all the year. Their OBJ.
ject is not so much TO reform" as
10 join with progressive officials in
working for better civic conditions.
Such an attitude and such work tend
10 quicken interest in civic problems.
and stimulate the members to attempt
solutions for them.
There is an active demand for col.
lege men in this line. They are val
liable not only as watchers at the polls
but as active workers with knowl
edge of existing conditions. Much
good may be accomplished by organ
rat1ons OF this kind if they try, not
10 reform, but to inform the members
OF the club about actual conditions
and then work together with the au-
tliorlties in applying the desired rem
edies.

tive point of view. The opponents
of wage legislation agree that, ordi-
narily, conditions in the sweated in
dustries are bad. They admit that
the wages are not as large as should
be paid, although they oppose fixing
a scale of wages for varied and COM
pleN industries through legislation.
The point at issue centers in the "ad-
visibility" of wage legislation as a
remedy for such conditions. however
unfortunate they may be.
The opponents of wage legislation
further maintain that other evils
would rise with the fixing Of mini
mum wage. They say that the prices
on the commodity would necessarily
rise, eounteracting in way the ef-
feet of the wage, which supposedly
would be higher than at present. If
higher. they show that the sweated in
dustries would attract men and women
from other employments. and leave
the problem in essentially the same
condition.
Another strong point advanced
against the minimum wage is leaving
the regulation of a wage scale to leg
islators, whose influence might be
bought by managers of sweat shops
for selfish purposes. These legisla-
tors would not have a personal in
terest in the regulation of wage
scale. and might not be sufficiently
Informed on the problem to adjust
each wage to each industry with fair
ness To all concerned. The enforce
ment of minimum wage law is also
questioned.

ing, in spending the $125OOO bond is?
sue for the Improvement of the water
and light service.
The laying out, or the STRENGTHENING
out. of a plan to furnish water and
| light to 10000 persons is not an easy
proposition. To do this satisfactorily
requires much technical knowledge
and familiarity with all its details.
A person uninformed Oh the problems
which will necessarily arise could not
be expected to solve them. A group
of such persons perhaps would be
more sure to fail.
The present inadequacy of the wa.
ter and light service in Columbia is
due in part to the inexpert methods
of installation. 1t has cost the people
much money to learn the value of
knowing how to do a thing before at
tempting to do it. The present ser.
vice is not what it should be for the
money expended. The voters have
said they were willing to pay for an
Improvement in the service. They
said this because an expert had recon-
mended this Improvement. Dean
Shaw had made a thorough investi-
cation of the machinery and equip.
ment, and had said what the trouble
was and how it should be remedied.
He recommended the bond issue, and
they Endorsed his recommendation
They showed unqualified belief in his
ability and judgment.

MINIMUM WAGE LEGISLATION

The question OF the advisability
of applying minimum wage legislation
in the fields of the sweated industries
is being studied by debaters for the
preliminary contest to be held after
the !Christmas holidays. This ques-
ton will be debated with Kansas from
the affirmative. side.
Those favoring the question of
wage legislation ,maintain that persons
employed in the sweat shops are not
properly paid. that the moral infiu-
ence OF such work is bad. and that
unsanitary conditions exist. They
maintain further that wage legisIa,
ton. whether federal or state. would
be desirable means of bettering con-
dltions without working an Injustice
to other industries.
The negative side OF the question
IS equally strong from an argumenta.

TIME TO ACT ON ELECTRIC ROAD

IL has been practically guaranteed
that the Central Missouri Electric
Railway will be built if 500, 900 bonus
is raised for the construction of the
line between here and jefferson Civ
Columbia's part OF this bonus is only
$4,000, and the business men OF the
city should raise that amount within
very short time.
But with the raising of its share of
the bonus, Columbia's duty does not
end. Columbia's should see that the
smaller cities along the line do their
duty and raise their share OF this
sum. Let Columbia raise her bonus,
and then it can say to the smaller
towns, I'VE think that this is a good
thing, and have given $4,000 for it.
It's up to you to do your share
And it is up to every city, however
small, in Central Missouri to boost
this electric railway. Its value to
every town and community cannot be
over-estimated. There is no richer
farm lands in the world than in
Central Missouri, but in point of
transportation facilities this area is
lar behind the times. and the fullness

munity cannot be realized until

TEMPLE ISRAEL is TO
HAVE SUNDAY SERVICE
Policy of Eastern Synagogues
to Be Followed Here

Announcement was made yesterday
that commencing September 4 DIR. ia
cob Nieto, rabbi of the Temple Israel,
will inaugurste a Sunday service after
the manner Of the synagogues of the
big cities Of the east
The announcement will come as a
surprise to the local Jewish community.
for, strictly speaking, this is a move
ment in which the extreme reform
wing of modern Judaism has been in
terested. Doctor Nieto on the other
hand has been spiritual adviser of a
congregation that is so called con
servative."
In the east. both i'm Chicago and New
York. Sunday services have for many
years proved an attraction. Doctor
Nieto said yesterday that he was
prompted to take the present step be-
cause it had been borne out by expe-
rience that the eXigencies of modern
business life preclude the possibility of
businessmen taking any part in public
worship in Jewish communities.
An attractive program of sermons
and lectures has been prepared by Doc
tor Nieto and it is expected that the
new movement will receive prompt
recognition at the hands Of that ele-
ment OF Jewish faith which has been
unable to attend the Saturday service.
