Permanent Student Organization.

Ts the Editor OF the University MlSsouran:
A permanent and centralized organ,
ization Of the student body is much
needed at the University. The fol.
lowing plan based on experience and
observation in one of our largest uni,
versities seems quite practicable to
the writer.
All strictly student affairs should
be managed by president of the stu.
dent body with the help of cabinet
selected by him and business man.
ager elected by the faculty. The presi-
dent should be elected near the close
of the school year for the following
year by ballot of the student body.
The election coming in the latter part
of the school year, the students would
be well acquainted with each other
and the ability of the student leaders
could be easily judged by their work
of the year. The secretary of each
class could collect and be responsible
for the votes of his class and whole
day should be given to balloting SO
each voter would have ample time
for thought. The secretaries as a
committee could count the votes at
the close of the day.
The president should appoint a
chairman and with the advice of the
chairman committee to take charge
OF each student activity such as the
Glee Club, dramatics, debating and
the various athletics and publications.
He with the chairmen should compose
the cabinet which should control all
student affairs.
None of these should receive any
salary with the exception of the bust
ness manager VINO should be paid a
salary which would be attractive to
the most capable alumni. He should
be an alumnus of this University and
should have been a leader in student
activities as an undergraduate. 1t
should be his business to attend to the
detail of the management of all the
student activities and to advise the
cabinet. The faculty might also ap-
point an advisory committee for each
student activity The services of the
coaches should be provided from the
faculty at the request of the cabinet.
By means Of this system each stu
dent activity would always be man.

body because those in power would
be in close touch with the students.
Then balance between all the activ-

would admit a student to all or any
part of the activities could be easily.

"WHITE CHRISTMAS" DESIRABLE


The wheat crop in Oklahoma is said
to be greatly damaged, if not ruined
by the drouth this year. Farmers
in this vicinity also are watching the
clouds anxiously, and wishing that a
good snow might come. A farmer
said a few days ago that he didn't
see how wheat could live and make
a good crop unless rain comes within
the next two weeks.
Yet many of us have been congratu-
lating ourselves on the splendid
weather we have been having. The
failure of the wheat crop in Oklahoma,
Kansas and Missouri would effect the
cost of living next year, and it might
also make times exceedingly hard
throughout this section of the nation.
1t is the custom among many people
to wish for white Christmas" and
certainly a heavy coating of snow
would be a great Christmas gift for
Missouri. and the Creator might also
be implored to send his Christmas gift
early.

ELECTIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN

1t seems strange to Americans that
two elections should be held within
a year in England, but the elections
in that country are conducted in a
very different manner from those in
the United States. English elections
unlike those in America, may last for
several days, or even weeks.
The term of Parliament is during
the power of the party which con,
trolls the ministry. When the ministry
loses its power one of two things
occur, the ministry resigns, or Par,
lament is dissolved, regardless of the
supposed seven year term of office.
In pursuance of this custom Parlia-
ment has been twice dissolved within
the past year.
The present contest in England is
between the Liberals and Conserva-
tives, and the gist of the difference
between the two parties is over the
power of the House of Lords. The
Lords have baked a great many
measures of the Commons, and reform
is proposed along three distinct lines:
First, the Lords shall be prohibited
from rejecting or amending any mon
ey bill; second, that the Lords must
pass any bill that the Commons pass
in three successive sessions; thirdly,
that the term of Parliament must be
decreased to five years.

If he will only remember what
responsibility rests upon him, and
conduct himself in the manner in
which he would gain appreciation at
the University, he will not do any
thing to injure its cause. At the
same time he should have the same
respect for the institutions of his
home that he had before he went to
college, whether his views have been
changed or not. He should also re-
member that he does not know quite
everything.

SURPRISES IN CENSUS RETURNS

SURPRISES IN CENSUS RETURNS
The most un-looked-for result of the
last census to Missourians was per
|haps being surpassed by an Eastern
state, one of the New England group
Massachusetts won sixth place from
Missouri with per cent of increase
more than three times as large. The
increase in Massachusetts was only
a few thousand less the last decade
than the preceding one, while in Mis-.
souri, the increase was less than half
what it was from 1890 to 1900. Texas
crowded Missouri out of fifth place,
but this is not so surprising to Mis-
sourians because they have watched
Texas grow. Indeed they have
watched it very closely, for a part of
the increase is the result of the mi
grafton of Missourians. The increase
in Texas was larger in numbers but
smaller in per cent.
The worst loser in the population
free-for-all race was Iowa. Not only
did Iowa drop from tenth to fifteenth
place. but there was an actual de-
crease in the number of persons.
Iowa is the only state in the Union
in which there was an actual loss
in population. One other state, Maine
dropped five places in rank, from 80
to 80, but there was an increase in
population.
Perhaps the most remarkable in
crease was in Nevada The change
in rank was only one place, but the
per cent of gain was 934 Other
states gained in larger per cent than
this, but in all OF these there was
large increase in 1900. In Nevada in

HUMAN DOCUMENT ADVERTISER

When the student goes home Christ
mas he will find a great many eyes
fastened upon him, looking for i'm
provements, for defects or changes
for the worse in him. 1t cannot be
doubted that any school or college
is judged by the sort of men it turns
out. Every student, then, is repre-
sentative of what the university stands
for.
If when boy left home he attended
Sunday school regularly, was indus
trious, had no bad habits, and was
what the neighbors spoke of as a
mice boy" any change in him will
be quickly noted If he wears extreme
so-called college clothes. idles time
away and smokes cigarettes and care
fully colored meerchaum pipes, his
changed condition is considered the
work of the University. One would
naturally call such a view narrow,
but such views are frequently taken.
There are not great many such
cases, but the student cannot be too
careful of his conduct, especially if
he is from small town. while at
home during the holidays. When a
boy comes to the University MANY
of his ideas change We say he is
broadened." If the student is loyal
to the University and wants to helm
advertise it, he must use Judgment
and tact, and not be overzealous in

than 10 per cent. The change to
an increase of 93.4 per cent is
large one.
For gain in rank California car
ried off first honors, passing from
twenty-tirst to twelfth place. The
amount of increase was almost 900, 900,
excepting New York and Pennsyl-
vania, the largest of any states.
The California increase was COL per
cent. Oklahoma increased more than
109 per cent and went from thirty
eighth to twenty-thlrd place. Wash
ington increased more than 1870 per

sissippi river Fourteen states made
an advance step in rank and ten of
these are west of the Mississippi river.

Saturday in Washington by
President in Person.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Taft
administration is about to defend 1T
self aggrcssively before the people Of
the United States.
Convinced that the public mind has
been impressed by attacks upon the nd
ministration in many parts of the conn
try, and that criticisms cannot be per
mitted to pass unanswered without in
Jury to Republican prestige, the party
leaders have decided to 'carry the war

President Taft is now declared 70 be
ready and anxious to assume :he of.
fcnsive The opening guns will be
fred next Saturday in Washington by
the president in person, and IN chicago
by Attorney General Wickersham.
Mr.. Taft Will speak in this city on
the subject of organization and he will
be supported By other powerful orators
of the Republican party. Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham s subject Will be the
policies of the administration.
Other speakers on the platform with
Mr.. Taft will be Senator Lodge, Rep
resentative Mckinley Of Illinois, chair.
man OF the Republican congressional
committee; Representative Duncan Me
K,ulay Of California, and John Hays
Hammond.
Reason for Anxiety,
Nothing has created so much interest
among the Republican leaders IN Wash"
inpton since the inauguration of Mr..
Taft as the plan now formulating TO
defend the administration. Some Of the
acts are to be brought out about the
operation of the Payne -Aldrich tariff
hin and it is expected that Legislators
will be called upon to answer the
friends of the administration with some
concrete evidence If this subject is 10

addition. ii is hoped statement may
be issued showing very great SAVING

ditures.
Little is being said by the party
leaders about the issue Of 'Cannon-

il would be inadvisable for him to

Special to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, April S.-President
Taft attempted TO justify the action OF
Senator Aldrich in putting through the
tariff bill in the senate by series of
deals instead OF settling each schedule
on It's merits. in n conversation with
near insurgent Republican congressman
recently. The president said the IN
surSents themselves had made it neces
sary for Aldrich to make trades to get
through any sort OF bill whatever. The
president admitted that swapping sched-
ules for votes was not fair way To
legislate, The president declared that II
the insurgents had come into camp and
agreed 10 "bc good that II would not

told the president that the indcfensIble

He Spent Happy Days of
His BOyhoOd.

WORCESTER, Mass, April 3.-Pres-
ident Taft put in a busy Sunday today
with visit To Aunt Della TORY and
the scenes OF many boyhood reminis-
cences at Millbury and an address here
this afternoon before the joint meeting
OF the Brotherhoods of Train Service-a
mass meeting OF nearly 1000 railroad en-
ployees-at Mechanics hall,
The president declared he believed in
labor organizations. But as chief mag
lieved also in the right OF every iran to
labor as he will. to earn the wages that
he will! and II he so chooses, TO stay out
of labor organizations. The presidents s
first assertion was greeted with Il wild
outburst Of applause. His second state
ment received only a scattering response.
Later. however. the president again
aroused the railroad men to enthusiasm
by saying he believed their organizations
were necessary to deal with organizations
OF capital and by detailing his deep Inter
est in legislation looking to further re-
duircments OF safety appliances and 10

noon and the entire city turned out 10
bid him welcome. He rode at the head
of the procession OF some nifty or more
machines that had been driven TO Mill

the city was lined with many thousands
and the quiet OF the Sabbath afternoon
was broken with applause. Ehe Sunday
