A GROWING EVIL.

The figures showing the increase
OF divorces in Boone county are but
part of general tendency all over
the United States. In 1880 the per-
ccntage of divorces in 100000 popula-
tion was 3.S. whereas in 1900 it was
7.3. Since 1900 the percentage has
increased. When the Roman Catholic
population is subtracted, there is one
divorce for every six marriages.
The worst part of the figures is the
alarming increase they show with no
prospect of abating. Every year shows
more divorces in proportion to, mar
riages. The reason is that divorces
texts. Already in many states il has
become so easy to get a divorce that
people do not stop TO consider
whether they are suited TO eacn Otnef
before they marry, hut rush into mat
rimony regardless of whether they are
congenial to each other or not.
The justification usually offered fol
divorce is "incompatibility. This car
often be avoided by reasonable dis
play of forbearance. Often divorce
proceedings start from silly quarrels
which little patience and forbear
ance would smooth over If divorces
were not 50 easy to obtain. families
would be forced 70 use more religious
fOrbearance. and the divorce evi
which is seriously threatening tht
American home. would be thing ol

NO TIME TO LOSE.

News that the city council intends
to open bids for the site for the new
water and light power house sounds
good from the standpoint of tire tax
payers of Columbia who are anxiously
awaiting the installation of new
water and light system. The bids for
property will be opened at the coun-
cils next meeting. January 3. and un-
less some complication arises, the
site will be chosen. About twenty
five tracts OF land have been recon-
mended to the council. and many of
them doubtless are suitable.
No time should be lost in the selec-
ton Of site and the beginning of the
erection of the new plant. After the
actual work on construction of the
building begins Columbia will have
20 wait eight or ten months before
the new service is ready A year at
the least is the time required to get
the new system in good running order
"a long time. it seems to some tax
payers. for the money they voted 10
be spent.
Work on the plant probably will
begin soon after the first of next year
provided the site is obtained and the
preliminary arrangements arc salts
factory. If site is chosen that is
near the present plant, less time will
be required, as the present wells
could be utilized. Tho plant probably
will be located in the north part OF
| Columbia, near the Wabash railroad
as shipping facilities and water con
nections are better there.

In College and After

President Lowell in an article in
the December number of the Harvard
Graduates Magazine, undertakes to
use, as basis for Judgment on the
oft.discussed question of the relation
between college student rank and af
ter success, certain statistics of the
standing attained by Harvard A. BIS
in their subsequent studies in the
Harvard schools of law and medicine
Two claSSifications are involved. the
one according to the nature of the
studies chiefly pursued by the student
while at college. the other according
to the rank attained by him upon his
graduation as A r. Under each of
these claSsifications, the question Is
asked, what percentage of students of
Il given type took their professional
degree cum laude. And this is Pres!-
dent Lowell's summing up:
THE conclusions to be drawn from
the whole matter are thnsa: Thal it
makes comparatively little difference
to what subject man devOtcS him
self in college, but it makes ai inI-
mense difference how good Il scholar
he is; and that the men Who are dcS-
tined to take the highest rank in the
law and medical schools are markediy
better scholars both in the prepara-
tory schools and in college than their
fellows. In intellectual power. as in
other things, the boy is father TO

CONSULT YOUR CONSCIENCE.

Is there public conscience? There
is. but it fails to predominant in the
bodies of all men when they walk into
the presence of a tax assessor or go
before some board of equalization to
determine the amounts Of their taxes.
Every tax assessor will testify to the
fact that they are rare persons who
will come up and make honest state
ments about the amounts of their tax
able property.
Ask man why he does not give
in his property according to its value,
and You will be promptly told that he
does not simply because other men
perjure themselves 10 escape taxation
If we may Judge by the actions Of
property owners in matters of taxa
ton. then perjury has ceased to be a
crime and has become one of the
cardinal virtues.
or course it is unjust to have one
man pay taxes on ihe, full amount of
his property. while his neighbor goes
|unmolested, though he pays on only
a small part of his entire amount of
taxable property. Then you ask:
Where is the remedy?"
The remedy is with the people.
Every man should make an earnest
effort to abide by the law. giving in
his property at as nearly its real
value as he is able. If every man will
do this-and it is something that
every man can do-then there will be
sufficient revenue in the city, county
and state treasures. If every owner
of taxable property would be honest
enough I'D no tHiS tleie Woulu Sooil
be enough money to make all neces-
sary civic improvements. and advance
ment along all lines would be made
Then, too. the rate of taxation would
soon be lowered

ing much attention at this time. and

ENTERTAIN THE GUESTS

During the first week in January
Columbia will be the host of fifteen
hundred farmers and il is the duty
of the citizens to see that this city
acquits itself nobly. This year the
students of the University of Missouri
will have returned from their vaca-
tion and the difficulty of obtaining
lodgings for the guests will be in
creased Because of this fact the
citizens should exert greater effort TO
see that the farmers are properly
lodged and their visit here made one
OF entertainment and pleasure. Co
mmbia must make good"
The convention formerly was held
in various towns over the state, and
now these towns are watching closely
every meeting so that they may seize
upon the least Indication that would
show Columbia is unable to treat the
farmers right. For this reason un-
usual effort must be put forward to
prove that this is the best place to
hold the convention, and Columbia can
take care of them. The proper spirit
has been shown by the Commercial
Club in taking hold of the work this
early and endeavoring to reserve all
vacant rooms in the city for that
week.
Every citizen of Columbia can also
help. II you have vacant room or
can provide housing for the guests let
the Commercial Club know You must
do this. 1t is your duty to the city.
This convention must be retained by
the city of Columbia because this is
the logical place for il to be held.
This city is centrally located; the
University of Missouri and the Col.
lege of Agriculture are here; the Co.
lumbia Commercial Club exerts every
effort to entertain visitors; and the
people delight in chance to show the
farmers OF the state what Columbia
Mo-, really is No other town in the
state has these advantages to offer.
Moreover this year several other
organizations will meet. here Farmers

Concerning the first OF President
Lowell's conclusions. on the other
hand, there is considerable reason tor
hesitation, both as to the conclusive.
ness of the statistics and as to the
true significance OF the conclusion il
self. The four great divisions under
which the men are classified according
to the studies to which they were
chiefly devoted are language and lit
Ierature, natural science, history and
political science. and philosophy and
mathematics. Now, to begin with.
the fourth OF these divisions, because
the whole number of students under
it in the law school was only nineteen,
and in the medical school only eight
There remain, then, at best. only tho
other three groups as basis for the
conclusion that it makes little or no
difference what studies a man may
have pursued at college, so far as
regards his success in his professional
course. But an extremely important
objection must be entered against this
conclusion; namely, that each of these
large groups includes an enormous
range, and that studies chosen with.
in the group may be of the most
diametrically opposite character as
regards mental discipline. In language
and literature, it may make all the
difference in the world whether one
takes Greek or English: in natural
science, whether the choice is physics
or geology; in history and political
science. whether it is political econo-
my or modern history. In word.
the classification is too loose to be
made the basis of any confident con-
clusion as to the Indifference of choice
of subjects.-New York Evening Post.
