CHICAGO. Nov. S.-William B. Nc
Kinley. chairman Of the republican
national congressional committee,
shortly before Il o'clock tonight made
the following statement:
When 1t is considered, as now seems
10 be the fact, that barely two-thirds
Of the republican vote in the middle
western states came to the polls, and
the further fact that factional differ
ences had aroused unusual bitterness
among the republicans, the result of
today's election is not al all surprising.
Every effort to promote harmony
was made by this committee, in many
instances with success.
The revision Of the tariff always has
proved a disturbing element in Amer
ican politics. and this year has been no
exception. Judging by the light vote
polled, the republican party yesterday
had the same experience it had in 1892
two years after The passage of the
aIcKinley bill
-4t that time 40 per cent of the re-
publican votes in the middle western
states was loath to vote for the re-
publican party when II was not quite
clear that the Mckinley tariff measure
was the one they wanted.
"TOdaE's election is a repetition Of
the result at that time. It is my opin-
ica that after two years il shall have
been proven that the present tariff has
been beneficial to the country and the
same conditions viii prevail as in 1884
when the republicans swept the coun-
Try.
After the democratic Wilson tariff
hill had been made law, the distress in
the country was so widespread that the
people returned the republican party to
power by tremendous majority.
Looking 10 the future fl is my opin-
son that this defeat will wipe out all
fac onal differences and that the re-
publican party viii present united
front in 1912.
There viii be no question in my
mind that the American people in 1912
VIII yield to the parent patriotic de-
mand made by the present occupant Of
the White House in a substantial in
dorsememt Of the wise and patriotic ad-
ministration he has given them"
Bourbons Claim IS Majority
CHICAGO. Nov. S-James T Lloyd
chairman Of the democratic na tional
congressional committee. issued the
following statement tonight:
Present indications are that con-
gress viii be democratic by about 35
majority Thus far the returns indi-
cate that olu prediction estimates
were about correct.
The causes which have led to the
result are well known. It is serious
rebuke 10 the republican party for its
failure TO reduce the tarin-as the peo-
PIE believed the party had promised.
The high cost Of protected manufac-
1ured articles. which has resulted in
the greatly increased cost Of living, had
very much to do with producing this
result.
There is general dissatisfaction at
existing political conditions and with
the present republican administration.
This has led TO its reputation as far as
could be done at the polls.
The democratic party has won the
victory because the only hope of the
people is i'm its supremacy.
The republican party has shown by
its course that it viii not enact legis-
lation in the interest Of the masses
wnere such legislation would be to the
Getriment Of the classes.

LIVE WHILE ALIVE.

There is difference between living
and existing. To live means to be
active. Real living brooks no waste
of time. neal living is using the days
given one so that they will be of the
greatest benefit to the individual and
to society.
We are alive today; there is no
assurance that we will be alive to-
morrow. So today should be used for
a purpose, and we should do more than
merely exist. Mere existence is par
sitical. II is taking from society with
out making any return.
We are alive today and today we
should live.

An Ideal Book.

To the Editor Of the University Nissounan:
For the honor student to whom
minutes are precious, and the student
infected with spring fever, to whom
necessary work is sin, THE School
in the Home" by Newell Dwight
the books received in February at the
general library
The Bible is called the Great Book
This little book contains the great
chapters of the Bible and gives reas-
ons for their greatness. Perhaps some
of the university students who attend
Sunday school would disagree with
the authors choice of the first, eighth,
twenty-third, forty-sixth, ninetieth
ninety-first and one hundred and third,
as the greatest Psalms. But if they
consider that not personal liking alone,
but also the preference of great men
of the past, was examined, they will
surely abide by the decision.
For instance, the ninetieth Psalm
was the favorite both of Dante and
Milton, while Martin Luther said that
the forty-sixth Psalm was ever in his
mind in the hours of his greatest peril.
One of the bravest martyrs of the
early Christian church said of the
ninety-first Psalm, 1T makes suffering
oaSv opd dooth q doliuhf
1t seems worth while to read the
great chapters of the Bible if only for
the satisfaction which sweeps over
person, when, in conversation, he is
able to quote some passage referring
to the matter at hand. For example,
the careful student might say: Happy
is the man that findeth wisdom, and
the man that getteth understanding:
For the merchandise of it is better
than the merchandise of silver, and
the gain thereof than fine gold. She
is more precious than rubies; and all
the things thou canst desire are not
to be compared unto her."
The student who is down here to
learn some of the principles which
govern profitable living, and moi
merely to get degree, might vel
sign up for the book at the desk anG
spend few minutes jotting down il
a fly leaf of his Bible-or his room
mates, if he hasn't one-this lis
chosen by men who lowered above
other men of their age simply be
cause of their knowledge of men ant
of conditions. What was choice foo(
for men who have been great, surel,
wouldn't hurt students who hope t,
be great in the future.

UNIFORMITY in LAWNS.
Gardens and Lawns-No. q.

When a city man thinks of improv'
ing his lawn, he is likely to confine
his ideas to the boundaries of his own
lot. AS matter of fact, his lawn
bears a relation to the entire neigh,
bOrhood.
Let us take the average city resi-,
dence block. One man believes IN
lawn with a gradual slope to the side,
walk line. Another likes terrace
which ends abruptly at the walk. An
other believes in natural curve OF
rounded surface. Another, perhaps,
adopts a series of terraces.
ANY one of these plans would be
good if uniformly carried out by all
the neighbors. Where no two adopt
the same scheme, however, all are bad
for the neighborhood. No lawn har'
monies with those adjoining it. What
might be a pleasing contour to all the
fronts is broken up into individual
entities which mean nothing to each
other.
The same mistake is often made in
selecting trees and shrubs for plant
ing. One man likes row of elms
near the sidewalk Another likes lOm-
hardy poplars farther back on top OF
the terrace. Either of these schemes
might be good if uniformly carried out
by the residents of one block. Chang.
ing the scheme, with every lot differ
ent from it's neighbors, leads to lack of
harmony. The aim should be to have
trees planted in uniform rows along
the street.
If given individual treatment, a
mans home is only the size of his
front lot If given community treat,
ment, each mans home is as large as
the entire block in which he lives.
For uniformity makes one forget
where one mans place begins and the
others leaves off.

UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVES.

Every student attending the Uni
versity of Missouri is a representative
OF the university. Graduates of the
university are more specially repre-
sentatiyes than the undergraduates
For various activities the university
as a whole, or in parts. selects men
as special representatives. Men so
selected Immediately rise above the
plane of the ordinary student.
Whether the man be selected to rep
resent the university in athletics. de-
batting, glee club, or any other activity
he should feel the added responsibility
that is placed upon him. AS the
university itself is above the indi-
yidual in standards, honors. achieve
ments, and Importance, so that stu
dent or representative should feel that
his responsibility is for more than his
Individual worth.
The fact that great care is used
in the selection of men for athletic
teams, debating squads, and SUCH does
not imply that the men so chosen
are finally fit representatives. 1t is
after selection that they should feel
the added responsibility. The recent
case of an important representative
of the university who failed to grasp
the responsibilities resting on him
serve its full purpose as an example.

A DIRECT TAX.

The proposed constitutional amend
ment providing for a direct tax for
the support of the University of Mis-
souri, should be adopted for the good
OF the university, the people, and the
state.
1t will give to the state permanent
ly endowed institution as the crown
of its educational equipment. 1t Will
place it on a par with neighboring
commonwealth as regards higher
education. With such tax the Uni
yersity of Missouri can become the
greatest in the West.
A three-cent tax will keep the school
within reach of all the people, and
provide a place where poor and rich
alike can obtain an education.
The proposed amendment is not
burdensome. 1t has been designed
along methods used successfully by
other states. 1t is no experiment, and
/ is the logical method to settle the
maintenance question. All intelligent
/ people will treat it as such.

RAISE A GARDEN.

AS man is affected by his home en-
vironment as well as by his COM
panions, why not more men try TO
increase their joy by improving the
surroundings of their dwellings?
Many benefits may be obtained from,
gardens around a home. The system
attic mapping of the ground and the
tilling of the soil would strengthen
the mental and physical faculties of
the gardener. The constant caring for
and the frequent observation of the de-
velopment of plants would increase
ones knowledge of plant life. From
the time of the sprouting of the seeds
to the gatherings of table produce or
flowers, it would enable the gardener
to see the progress and the success of
his labor Small gardens would in
crease the outward appearance of
ones home, and produce vegetables
for the table and flowers for the
rooms.
Small gardens would keep younger
children from the streets and invite
older ones to remain at home. Little
boys and girls want to play among
flowers. Young men and young wom-
en- would see the loveliness and beauty
flowers often suggest. The business
man would be cheered in the morning
as he left his home for the busy Office,
by the freshness and glory and fra
GRANGE of the plants and flowers
around the house.
The having of well-mapped gardens
around homes would give not only JOY
to the families, but also beauty to the
city.

A FORMER CURATOR SPEAKS.

In a long comprehensive article in
the Chillicothe Tribune, Captain A.
McVey, a former curator of the Uni
versity of Missouri, tells many plain
facts concerning the needs of the
university Captain McVey advocates
a new state constitution built upon
BUSINESS lines as best for Missouri.
In the course of his article Captain
McVey has given list of the fifty
or more important members of the
university teaching staff who have
to other schools in the last ten years
because of the insufficient appropria-
ton made for the university.
Our university he says. has for
years been the fayorite recruiting
ground for many universities of the
country. Our losses have been seri-
Gus, at times harmful and embarrass-
ing. We have simply had to stand and
be plucked? Why? Because we did
NOT have the money our sister states
had to spend for educational purposes.
Our university has practically not a
dollar of stable income for mainte
nance"
Give us the money" he declares
"and in ten years we will have the
