WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
 ABOUT BILL AT POLI'S.
The Telegram, Dec. 12.

The Telegram, Dec. IF.
 'fWelch Is a Hit-Leads We'll Re- ceived Bill at Poli's Theatre"-Joe Welch, the popular Hebrew charac- ter comedian is undoubtedly the hit of the bill at Poli's this week. Welch appears in the character of the de- Jected Hebrew business man who tells rattiing good comedy monologue. The witticisms are new and bright and while in themselves they are amusing, when delivered in Welch's characteristic fashion they become a absolutely iya.irresistdbie. Welch has been for years great favorite with theatregoers who appreciate a really clever monologue. His personal pop ulsrity was amply attested by the ap- plause which greeted his appearance before theS first nighters. The excel lence of Welch's new monelogue will no doubt be proven within a few short weeks when others will appear impersonating him and stealing laughs at his expense"

 "Old Soldiers Are Hit on Poli Bill Joe Welch. Thomas J. Ryan & Co.,, and Sutcliffe Troupe Also Please Large l. ,.; Audiences;".A great wave of Polls last night when the Old Sol- dier Ffddlers concluded their act by playing the old war tune, As the Stars and Stripes floated to the breeze, everybody stood up and cheered and then joined in the chorus of the national anthem. The veterans of the Civil War received one of the biggest ovations ever given to an act in this city. Combining as they do representatives of the Union and Con federate armies, these musicians make peculiar appeal to all theatre goers.
 Joe welch, who has appeared here many times both as a vaudeville star and as a member of musical com panies, started the ball of laughter rolling last night. Welch does not spoil things by an exaggerated make up and does not make his dialect too pronounced. His monologue is new and is delivered so cleverly that the mirth is continuous.
 The Post, December 12.
 "Joe welch has made Bridgeport CTS laugh before. He made them laugh last night Probably more fast night than he has in a long time It is sometimes said that when you have heard a hum oriSt or a monolO- gist with good jokes once you have heard him for time eternal. But Joe proved an exception to the rule last night at Polls when he came out with a new lot of jokes and in that quanit characteristic way rolled them out one after another. He went right through the string from start to fin ish with scarcely hesitation and the laughter which followed the first one was continuous until he was through" sSi Tho Standard, December 12.

Held Ont Inducement.


 ''Chamberlin, to induce him to join, held out the inducement that she had $40, ,000, when he knew, and had no reason to suspect she had as many hundreds. Chamberlin says that Will Ram Yang advised him of the old woman and how easily he could rob her. William Yang says there is no no doubt but that Yang tells the truth.
 ''It Is said there should be honor among thieves
 "Chamberlin divided about $42 with Taylor, and kept back $90. No money found on Chamberlin Taylor, when arrested. frankly admitted the truth and told the whole story. Chamber lin denied 1t until confronted with Taylor and his written confession and then admitted it. Chamberlin, in my judgment, is utterly incorrigfble and would resort to crime as soon as released.
 'I make this statement and leave it with MT Pigott to be used if occa- sion should require in case of my death.
 .eTILToN E. DOoLITTLE.
 New Haven. July 1S, 18S7."
 Presented Many Times.
 This statement by MT. Doolittle has been presented at every session of the pardon board for the last fifteen years or more. but thus far the board has taken no action.
 While no definite statement to that effect can be secured, it seems to be the opinion that MT. DooNttle half way promised Taylor that in consid- eration of his aiding the State, he would do all in his power to secure his release after he had served ten or fifteen years. In furtherance of that supposed promise, MT. Doolittle left one of these statements with MT. Pigott and another in the States at torney's office.
 Tn this State the unanimous vote of the pardon board is necessary in order to secure the release of a pris- oner, and it seems that on each oc- casion at least one member of the board has seen fit to impose an objec- ton.
 In addition to the Doolittle letter there are letters from many of former Governors of the State favoring Tay- lor'S release.

THE MISSOURl.KANSAS DEBATE

| Tomorrow night the Missouri-Kan,
sas debate will be held in the univer-
| siiy Auditorium. While there are no
mass-meetings to herald the coming
of such contests. and there is never
the wild enthusiasm over them that
mark athletic events. their coming is
none the less significant. In debating
contests the best brains of the schools
are represented.
Debating has long held a place in the
intellectual and educational life of
man. Although it is argued that, as an
art. il has lost some of tits power and
influence, however it still plays a
great part in the speech and press of
the world.
The University of Missouri stands
high in the debating percentage. In the
number OF contests in which teams OF
this school have taken part, most of
them have been victories for the Uni
versity. Not since 1904 has the Uni
versity of Kansas taken 4 contest from
Missouri.
Every student of the University
should hear this debate, and as many
people of Columbia as can attend
should avail themselves of the OppOr-
tunity. Both universities are after vic
tory The best team will win. Will il
be the one from Missouri or the one
from Kansas?

THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

IF you are going to do anything per
manent for the man generally you will
have to begin before he is a man." once
said Theodore Roosevelt. former Pres
ident of the United States.
This is the fundamental idea of the
Boy Scout movement which has had
such a large following in America and
England. Teaching the boys of the
country to be self-reliant and instill-
ing correct moral principles. are the
chief aims of the organization.
The fundamentals OF scout-craft, mil
itary organization. methods of main
tanning discipline and cooperation,
knot-tying, signaling, wOodcraft and
night scouting-are some of the things
included in the education of the boy
scout. He must know the principles
OF camp sanitation, personal hygiene
and first aid to the injured, besides
being efficient in camp routine.
This movement was started in Co.
lumbia but for some reason it failed.
Reconsideration of the matter might
revive interest in the project. Certain
ly the teachings are such as TO benefit
any boy.

Advance Grades to UndercIassmen.

Editor The Missourian: Because of
the fraternity situation regarding
grades, most of the professors keep
students who are fraternity members
informed as to their relative standing
in the class. This applies especially
to the underclassmen. Other students
in the class have no way of determin-
ing their grade. Why not apply the
plan indiscriminately?
The freshman and sophomore years
are unusually the trying ones for STU
dents grade is decidedly questionable
What is the objection to keeping Stu
dents in these classes ignorant of their
standing? Why not let all of them
know where they stand? SENIOR.

CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION.

Almost unanimously the Illinois
State Senate has passed a resolution
providing for the calling of a consti.
tutional convention and for the adop.
tiOn of the initiative and referendum.
Only a .two-thirds majority of the Gen
eral Assembly is necessary to call the
revision convention.
The present constitution of Illinois
was adopted in 1870. 1t is more minute
than a fundamental instrument should
be, and fixes the salaries of many of
the state officials. 1t also goes into
great detail as to the duties of certain
courts and officials and limits the pow.
er of the legislature in certain of it's
functions.
New courts have been created in H.
linois since the adoption of this con-
stitutiOn. Four amendments have been
adopted. Modern ideals of government
have changed in the last four decades.
The modern state is vastly different
from the one created forty years ago,
and new forms of government have
succeeded many of the old.
AS one of the foremost states in the

ment.

NO ANNEXATION.

The echo to the first call for reci
prOcity treaty was annexation. The cry
was taken up by the people of Eng,
land and those in our country that Op
posed the treaty.
1t has also been insinuated by thousc
ands of citizens of the United States
and not a few foreign powers that our
government contemplates annexing
Mexico. A great Republic embracing
all of North America from Panama to
the Arctic is the foreign conception of
Americas intentions.
The people of the United States have
had no serious thought OF annexing
Canada since the war Of 1872. They
secured all the Mexican territory they
wanted in the war with that nation
sixty-five years ago. We do not de-
sire to add to our domain 4 country
settled by Mexicans and infested with
incurable revolutionary germs. Nor
have We any intention of annexing Can
ada, whose citizens, though almost our
brethren in blood, have different insti-
tutiOns.

The Honor System.

The Agricultural and Mechanical
College of North Carolina is the latest
Of the large schools to adopt the
honor system. Following the lead
taken by the University of South Caro-.
lima nearly one hundred years ago,
many institutions have introduced this
plan.
Each school has its own particular
honor rules. but it is conceded that the
system in force at the University of
South Carolina and Princeton Univer-
sity, the latter having modelled its own
after that of the Carolina school. is one
of the best in the United States.
Some of the most essential points
are:
1. The honor committee is made up
from the four classes. the Senior men,
Der being chairman.
2. The unsubstantiated testimony
of one witness shall not be sufficient to
convict.
3. The accused is allowed to intro
duce any material testimony, with the
privilege of selecting two students to
act as his attorneys
4. A four-ffths vote of the commit
tee shall be necessary to convict.
). A three-fourths vote of the stu
dent body may reverse u decision of
the committee.
6. Two student-attorney may de-
fend the accused before the student
body. They are not allowed to appeal
to prejudices and emotions.
Z. All proceedings of the honor COM
mittee are secret.
The honor system is growing in ia
vor. Why not have it at the Univer-
sity of Missouri?
