MUST HAVE GOOD ROADS

Missouri needs good roads. The
people of this state have put up with
the Inconvenience and wastefulness of
bad roads long enough. 1t is time that
they were waking up to the advaa-
tages to be gained by having better
roads. The state would increase in
wealth. Farms in many sections of
the state would more than double in
value. The rural districts would soon
be more thickly settled and a great
advance in improving up the farms
would naturally follow. The state
would gain in wealth in population,
and in beauty by making good roads.
Good roads have great Importance
as an advertising feature for state
How are the roads," is one OF the
first things the prospective citizen
wants TO know. one OF the last things
the visitor forgets about country is
the condition Of its roads. Adverti:-
ing pays. Let's have good reads.
Missouri is more backward in re-
gard to road building than most states
Why? Probably largely because the
state is so prosperous as it is. But
there is growing feeling that the
best is none too good for Missouri.
Whatever conduces to the prosperity
and attractiveneSs of Missouri ought
to be more and more emphasized and
ought to hold more and more the at
tention of the people of Missouri. the
elder Cato always ended his speeches
with, Carthage delenda est" Every
promoter of the welfare of Missouri
should always close his appeal with,
Missouri must have good roads"

Columbia is doing right in advertis-
ing itself. Out in the state a great
deal is said about the University of
Missouri. But how much is said about
Columbia? Columbia, it is -said Of
ten enough is the home of the Uni
versity of Missouri. But how often
is it said that it is more than that ?
That is the test.
Columbia has been known for fifty
years as the home of the states
school, Now it has come to be a bust
ness and trade center of large impor-
tance. Now it may be known as
something more than the home of n
great institution. 1t is the advertising
of these other things, commerce and
business, that Columbia can well IF.
ford to give its attention. 1t needs
more advertising of that sort. 1t is
worth more.

MEGA PHONE
For Missouri's Youth.

To the Editor of the University nfissonrian:
| Unless the University has in the
near future a considerable sum of
money for an enlarged equipment and
teaching force, definite action will be
necessary on the part of the board of
curators to limit the attendance. At
present there are many students who
cannot take the work they desire be-
cause certain classes or laboratories
are overcrowded. For the last ten
years the University has been finish
ing off the basement and attic rooms
but all these are now filled. The
present generation of students will be
cared for with the present equipment.
So that the mill-taX amendment be-
comes not so much a question for the
students now in the University as for
those who will come in three, five or
ten years. 1t is either the success
of the mill tax or some other form
OF larger and better support for the
University or limit upon the number
of students who can enter the Univer-
sity each year.
Out in the high schools and prepar-
atory schools of Missouri there are
hundreds of students whose life ambi-
ton is to come to the University. In
every section of the state there are
parents who are planning to send their
children to the University in coming
years
The success or failure of this amend
ment bears a vital relation to this life
ambition of these boys and girls and
their parents. Is it possible that the
people OF Missouri with their wealth
and their state pride and loyalty will
allow measure IKE the miII.,av
amendment to fail and thus bring about
condition that will deprive hundreds

WANTED-MORE MEN

One man does not make a football
team any more than one swallow
makes a summer. The coach insists
that more men are needed on the Uni
versity squad Any one who knows
anything about the football situation
does not doubt his statement. We
have good team and every student
ought to be proud of it. The men have
grit and nerve, and each one does his
best AID fights hard. But aren't there
more men in the University who have
the weight and the strength and the
ability to play football? The coach
ing force protests that some of the
players are scarcely big enough to
carry a football. The big, strong men
among the students should heed this
call. 1t is call to arms. Football
is part of the University and as such
is worthy of the hearty support of
every one.
The students of the University want
the best team it is possible to have.
They are right about it. The football
record counts for a good deal. Hun
dreds and thousands are wondering
whether the Tigers will beat Kansas.
You. Missouri student, who could play
football if you would, won't you help
decide this question?

SYSTEMATIzED JUSTICE IN IOWA

SHSTEMETiZEO JUSTICE IN IOWA
Frank S. Shankland, candidate for
the Iowa state legislature from Polk
county, is advocating the addition of
three justices to the Supreme Court
of that state. He suggests that the
court be divided into three branches,
each to have three Justices, and that
each branch have a separate func-
ton: One to handle equity, one law
and the other criminal cases. On any
case of grea. Importance all would sit
together.
The advantages of such system are
many. In the first place it would
facilitate the handling of the legal
business of the state for there would
be three tribunals instead of one. The
appealed litigation of that state is now
in congested condition and Mr..
Shankland advocates this proposition
as the representative of the bar of his
district.
In the second place it seems that
the justice could be made specialists
in their branches. Some are certain
to be more efficient in certain lines
than in others, and this would develoD
their efficiency and enable them to
handle the cases in their branches
with greater eXpediency.
The whole idea is a good one and
it would seem to be a step toward
more efficient and expedient means of
securing supreme court decisions.

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
COLUMBIA RESPONDS

Missourians are proud of the Uni
versity and of Columbia They are
alive to everything that goes on here.
The great dailies of st. Louis and
Kansas City print more news stories
from Jefferson City and Columbia, per-
haps, than from any other city in the
state outside of the cities in which
they are published. Mention the
name, Columbia" anywhere in the
state and there arises in the mind
OF the hearer such conceptions as
achievement, cu'ure, citizenship, pro-
gress, learning aud efficiency. Thay
cannot be separated. Inc city and
the University are fortunate in the
very name: Columbia" Try to i'm
agine name more in keeping with the
conceptions mentioned above.
Columbia does well in responding
to the interest and good wishes of all
Missourians by splendid effort 20
make itself fitting home for such a
university Of such state. This effort
will not be overlooked by the voters
in the coming election, in which the
University is SO vitally interested.

WILL WE FLY SOON?

Flying records have almost ceased to
| be cause of much general comment.
Indeed the announcement of a new
record has come to be expected in the
newspapers every day. The breaking
of aviation records is big" news no
more.
A long distance record was broken
Saturday when Archie Hoxsey ended a
105-mile flight in st. Louis. And, ap-
parently just as preliminary work
out, he flew several times around
race track in Springfield, ILL.,, and beat
Barney Oldfield in an automobile. A
few years ago the feats of OldfieId
were about the biggest 'thrillers" i'm
aginable. Today he is easily out
classed as a rapid-travel artist by the
bird-men.
And who knows but that the flying
machine may some day be as common
as is the automobile today? 1t al
ready has reached the stage where if
is no unusual thing for a non-prof ,s-
sional, person knowing nothing about
aviation. to take trip through the
air. 1t has been only few years since
the acknowledgements carriages
they were called then-was in the
SAME stage of development. 1t was
rather reckless risk TO
ride in one of them. Perhaps some
still regard the 'horseless carriage" as
a reckless means of travel. At least
the regard is not general
Possibly it will be a long time be-
fore flying machines become as CON-
non as are automobiles now, but GER
.ainly there has been much advance
nent in aviation in the last few years. |

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:

have not been behind the team as
they should be. The school is aroused
now to the state of affairs. 1t is up
to us to do something. The Beat
