Kissed the "Marryinq Alderman,

L
Alderman Jim Smith, who for IL
years has been known as one of the
marrying Aldermen" of the city, was
kissed for the first time in his polit
ical career yesterday afternoon by a
bride.
The kiss which caused the Alder.
man to blush to the roots of his hair
was delivered smack upon his lips by
one OF the prettiest brides that has
ever appeared at the City Hall.
The ceremony was over and the AL.
|derman was thinking of some orisf-
nal way in which to offer his congrat.
ulations,s he says, when the bride spoke
up and said:
1--WE simply got to kiss the Alder
man."
And she did.
Mrs. Gillen is short and it was not
an easy matter for her to put her
arms around the huge Alderman's
neck, but she managed somehow. The
Alderman does not deny that he
leaned a little forward to aid her

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
THE FREsHMANps OPPORTUNITY

What is University for? Why this
spending of SO many hard-sarned dol
lars and four of the best years of ones
hfe?"
These are questions that must be
forcing themselves upon the freshmen
at they attempt tor find their places
in the life of a University. If a man
is going to do anything, he must first
see clearly the meaning of what is to
be done, and then with every power
OF soul and life. do it. The failures
among University students are much
larger than most people realize. Ev-
cry year scores Of students leave
school because of their health or
the larger opportunities" at home or
in some, other school The fact that
one is enrolled in University does
not guarantee success. He must pay
the price as in any other line of ef-
fort. He must understand the mean
ing Of education.
- Missouri spends each year half a
million dollars on its State University.
Hundreds Of parents endure real hard
ships to make it possible for their sons
or daughters to come to the Univer-
city,! And why? Certainly not to
create in this state a social and intel.
lectuar aristocrary.
Missouri has problems to solve in
politics, in education, in religion, and
In business. To help solve these
problems, the state has established at
Columbia great school, where three
thousand young men and women can
come each year to learn the real mean
Ing Of life; where they can be trained
to think through these great problems,
and, after a while, return to the coun-
try districts, villages, towns and cit
les and help those who have not had
this same opportunity.
As Mr.. Bryan so well said the other
night. Education is supposed to pre-
pare a man to bear a heavier load"
Let each student who wears the little
cap these days think of these things.
Let him have a vision of the posi-
bilities Of the life of an educated man,
and then with great enthusiasm and
courage let him throw himself into
this University course. His life will |
then be a credit to the University and |
q blessing to the state.

success.

The fact that eighteen students of
the School of Journalism of the Uni.
versity of Missouri from different parts
of the United States learned of the
University through different leading
literary and news publications shows
that Missouri is being advertised as
it never has been before. 1t further
demonstrates that advertising pays.

should be worn by every student in
the University of Missouri and by ev.
cry man in Columbia. In no better
way can persons show their loyalty
to the University for the next six
weeks. The buttons will be sold in

money from the sale will go to the
amendment fund.
The alumni in st. Louis and other
cities and towns in the state are
working hard for the passage of the
amendment. They realize its impor-
lance to the future of the University.
The students here should manifest at
least an equal realization of the good
to be derived from a permanent SUD.

cents for a Beat Kansas" button,
Their action received much common
dalton, and rightly so, for it showed

Our Old Friend.

~ Our Old Friend.
The football season may be consid:
cred to be in full blast when our old
friend, Beat Kansas, appears in the
state at the end of next week to be-
gin his seasons work. Beat Kansas
will be remembered as the star who
was unanimously accorded all posi-
lions on the all-Missouri valley team
after the season closed last year. I'm
like Gilchrist of Missouri, Beat Kan
sas 81 not hampered by being required
to do all his playing on the teams of
one state. He has license to range
the whole Missouri valley at will. Hon.
B. will begin the season in Kansas,
carefully avoiding the University and
combining his work to the Ottawa, st.
Marys, Baker and Washburn teams.
He will finish the season with a grand
swing around the circle, through Iowa,
Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
Beat Kansas journeyed from the east
last week in company with Coach Hol-
lenback of Missouri and was warmly
greeted in Columbia.-The Kansan.

SAID Concerning
The Uniuersitu

The dispatches say that whereas
"Bill' Roper shouted and waved his
arms while training his football team,
Hollenback, his successor, speaks in
low, terse voice." The first thing
Hollenback said after reaching Col
umbia was that he had come out west
to beat Kansas. A man who is going
to say things like that ought to say
them in a low voice.-The Kansan,

TO the Editor Of the University Missourian:
The increasing activity Of the Young
Women's Christian Association at the
University this year is probably due
to the efficiency of the secretary.
Unique entertainments are attracting
the attention of university women. The
Y. VIC A. party at Read Hall last
Saturday was well attended and the
conversational game enjoyed by all.
Doubtless the group parties to fresh
man girls which are now being planned
will be quite as successful.
The employment bureau of the As
ISOLATION seems to be accomplishing
more this year than it did last. AL
the indications point to strong Or
ganization this year. M.

To the Editor Of the University Missourlan:
Columbia boasts of her beautiful
and wellpaved streets, yet there are
probably few villages which possess
a rougher thoroughfare in the better
sections of their town than Is Uni
versity avenue.
Scarcely day passes that a heavy
truck of some description is not mired
on this street within a block of the
University campus, and it is in such a
dreadful condition as to be avoided
by automobiles and lighter vehicles
whenever possible.
To person visiting the University
the ocean-like waves of this street
would make one almost afraid to cross
it, and courage greater than that of
Peter would be necessary to walk on
this street after few hours of lain
fall. 1t looks bad, too, for Columbia,
to have so prominent street in so
awful condition. B.

Hays thefts were extremely bold, but
adroit, and until he fled after committing
the last, which was the safe robbery, he
had not been suspected. He was on duty
as night porter and the attacks on the cash
drawer and safe were made each time dur
ing intervals Of a few moments when the
time just before he went off duty. He
robbed the safe when the night clerk went
into the bar shortly before O'Clock to
check up the cash register, and was
gone when the clerk returned. The money
was not missed for an hour, and when
search was made for the porter his room
was found to be deserted, with every evi-
dence Of a hurried flight Of the occupant
The police department was notified by
Manager Parks and Hays was traced TO
Omaha where he went on a Cookbook car.
The search for him was prosecuted vigor-
Ously He was traced throughout the south
west and barely evaded arrest at New
Orleans, Brownsville Tenn, and Houston,
Tex, and again at Nashville.
The negro has a bad record. Among the
papers left by him in his room was a dis
honorable discharge from the Tenth cav
airy, q negro regiment at San Francisco.
Manager Parks wrote 70 the commanding
officer at Alcatrez island, San Francisco
bay, and got the reEro's record. 1t showed
that he had just completed a term in

be indicted on four counts, two charging
robbery and two Of robbery and breaking

down to the telephone company's conduits,

College Product
Former Ambassador Declares Graduate
Inefficient Compared with
Self-Made Man.

That the college man is inefficient com
pared to the man who has worked his
way up in the world from the bottom
rung is the declaration of ID. e. Thompson,
former ambassador to Mexico He also
disparaged modern sports, putting them
down as the amusements Of these same
college men.
Il have found in dealing with men in
business life that the college graduate Is
not worth anywhere near as much as the
man who has learned to work from neces-
sity and started at the bottom to come up.
However, the boy who works himself
through school is becoming a different
proposition from the usual college product.
He has learned to work. The usual class
OF men get into one class of frat in col
lege and are showed into another when
they get into the business world. I'm not
much Of a sport myself. l only went TO
