Viewpoints

Editor the MissOurian: With the
splendid improvements being made
by the University authorities, it Oc-
ours to me that none will be appre-
ciated as much as small pavilion on
the golf links. 1t will afford a rest
ing place for players between rounds
and will provide shelter in case of a
light shower. Some times a rain is
not hard enough to drive player
in if he had a shelter at hand to wait
until the clouds pass. AS it is now
lie must sacrifice much good time for
playing to get in out of rain that
would not otherwise hinder his
round. While it is true that the pa
vilion would be used by Cupid's de-
voices, they would not be numerous

EMPEROR SUPERSTITIOUS.
Wears Ring Taken From MosIcm by
Crusader.

BERLIN.-That Emperor William
wears a gold band taken by crusa-
der from the finger of a slain mOslem
foe with verse from the Koran cut
out of the stone setting, will be
shocking news to the people of his
scientifically advanced empire. Ac-
cording to special cable by the
Press Publishing Company to the
World, the talsman is a heavy gold
ring. and set i'm it is a square stone
of dull, dusty hue. To this ring
tradition attributes the powers of
safeguarding its wearer under all
circumstances and bringing him
good luck generally. The almost
magic ring has a strange history. II
was originally acquired by some ad-
venturOus Margrave of Nourem-
burg, crusader. who helped to re-
deem the Holy Sepulchre from the
Moslems and who stripped the ring
from the finger of a Saracen leader
be had slain. The talisman des-
ccnded from Margrave to Margrave,
a much priced heirloom. until it be-
came priced treasure of the kings Of
Prussia and at last of the Emperor.
Cross Replaces Koran Verse.
The verse of the Koran which was
engraved on it has been cut cut ard
replaced by a cross, which it is be-
lieved by the Emperor, has increased
its protective virtues. His people
hear that the Emperor believes firm
iy IN the rings power. Certainly he
is a very lucky man.

BEATTIE TRIAL IN DEMAND.
Eight Special Wires Connected With
Chesterfield Courthouse.

| Chesterfield Courthouse.
In order to handle the extraordi-
nary amount of newspaper matter
from Chesterfield Courthouse during
the Beattie murder trial, the Western
Union Telegraph Company put in
eight wires from Centralia, dis
tance of four miles, and detailed a
score of operators to send out dis
patches. Manager Sale got hold of
the figures yesterday and found that
902,264 words of Beattie stuff was
sent to the newspapers and press as
sociatiOns during the past three
weeks.
Any man who is quick at figures
might be able to estimate the num-
ber of columns required to take care
of nearly 100000 words. but then
he would be only started, for the
press associations served thousands
OF papers. There is no system of fig
uring by which the question of col
umns may be answered.
Thirty newspaper men were at
work daily in that little courtroom.
They worked increasingly. and when
seen that the murder did not attract
attention simply at home. The pub
lie made the story. There was an
element of mystery. display of bru-
tality in the crime as charged by the
Commonwealth that took the country
by the ears. And it came in August
that dull newspaper month the
world over. Had it come. however,
at any other time the demand would
probably have been the same. for the
thing stood out as one of the most
terrible crimes i'm criminal history.
On Monday night after Henry
Peattie's day en- the witness stand,
the Associated Press sent over its
wires into New York more Beattie
trial matter than it sent from New
York on any one night during the
Thaw trials, This gives some idea
of the demand
With all the wire crush out of
Chesterfield, not one complaint was
received, a record which the Western
Union regards as more remarkable
than the actual amount of press mat
ter handled

LARGE BRIDGE COMPLETED.
Span Over Kentucky River Is 1870
Feet Long.

DANVILLE, Ky.,-The new high
bridge of the Queen and Crescent
route over the Kentucky River will
be put in service at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. This bridge spans
the gorge of the Kentucky River and
is thirty-one feet higher than the
bridge it replaces. which was for
years the highest railroad bridge in
the world. The construction of the
new bridge was a remarkable feat
of engineering 1t was built on the
same foundation as the old. without
interfering with traffic.
The new bridge, like the old, was
erected on the cantilever principle
and is of steel with stone piers. 1t is
1890 feet long and the track level is
eos feet above low water mark.

,ENROILMENT IN CITY SCHOOLS

The present Indications are that
the enrolment of the public schools
OF Columbia will be somewhat ahead
of that of last year. Such should be
the case. Not only the increase in
population should bring up the en-
rollment from year to year, but the
increasing interest of the public
st large in educational matters
should bear fruit.
The city has done its part in con-
structing and equipping in modern
fashion the new high and new ward
school buildings, in maintaining the
schools, and in providing high grade
teaching forces.
Those pupils who are old enough
to decide for themselves should de-
termine to be in school and those
who wait on the judgment of others
should be properly encouraged to at
tend or compelled if need be.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Never before have women been sc
influential in the economic world
Widows and daughters of men who
accumulated fortunes are now con-
trolling the vast properties in some
cases with no limited authority
Their management goes far to dis
prove the idea of the necessity of a
man of enormous affairs being OF
finer clay than the ordinary mortal
fer which discretion and wisdom
t:lose women are often found dis.
Playing business acumen unsur.
passed by heads grown hOary in the
profession.
A glance at the way Mrs. = III
Hartman has taken hold of business
will illustrate. Then one might cal
to mind Mrs. John w. Gates, Mrs
Russell Sage. Mrs. Marshall Field and
many others.

A PRINCE LOST HIS CLOTHES.

Division of Train Left NObleman
With Only a Night Shirt.
A curious misadventure which a
few days ago befell Prince Fursten-
burg has just become known. The
emperOr's friend was travelling to
Slawentzitz to attend the funeral of
the late Prince HOhenlOhe. and had
retired to rest in sleeping car after
handing his clothes over to his valet,
who took them with him to a COM
rartment in the next carriage.
Owing to the large number of
princely persOnages who were jour
neying to the same destination it was
found necessary to divide the train
en- route. Unfortunately the Sleep
ing car with Prince Furstenburg was
sent on in advance, while the servant
and the clothes Jagged behind. At
kandrzin the slumberer was awak-
ened by an official, who told him that
quently resume his attire. The lat
ter part of the injunction. however,
it was impossible to follow. since the
prince had nothing to his disposal
but the nightshirt he was wearing.
AS the car he was in was bound
further in a direction that was not
his, there was nothing for it but to
make dash across the platform in
his scanty garb and secrete himself
in a waiting room until the missing
garments turned up. The valet ar
rived quarter of an hour later, but
before his master had completed his
toilette the second train had depart
ed. and the only way to reach his des-
tination in time was to telegraph to
Slawentzitz for a motor car.-Kan-

Ten Plans Chosen Tentatively For
S3OO.OOO Cell House.
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. - Ten
tative plans have been agreed upon
for a new 100000 modern cell
building at the penitentiary.
Harry G. Clymer and H. H. Hohen-
schild of Rolla, have been selected as
architects, and accompanied by State
Auditor John p Gordon and Warden
Henry Andrae they departed today
for an inspection of the Federal pris-
on at LeavenwOrth and also the Still
water, Mimi, Penitentiary. After
their return work upon the new
structure will begin.
What is known as the old cell
building, structure little better
than an ancient dungeon, is to razed.
A part of the building was erected
about seventy-seven years ago and
for thirty or forty years following
was added to as the demands re-
quired.

ECONOMY.

Spendthrifts often think they are
economical. Many of them are on
insignificant points, while On things
that really count they don't spenu
their money-they simply throw IL
away. It's like the man Who bossted
of his economy to his wife because
he had refused to pay five cents lor
a rair of shoe strings but bought two
pairs for five, and next day paid MS
tailor $40 for a suit of clothes that a
less distinguished workman wouid
have put out for $50.
There is economy and false eeono-
nv and absurd economy. But neither
false economy nor absurd economy Is
real economy and to practice either
is merely to deceive oneself.

WANTED-A SQUARE DEAL.

The denunciations by college men
of r. T. Crane. the Chicago multi.
millionaire. seems to be another in.
stance of giving the most prominence
to the inferior element. Let one col,
lcge man go wrong and his malefac-
tions are proclaimed throughout the
land and the many who go about do
ing good are overlooked and unmen-
toned. Exploitation of the sensa-
tional is becoming stereotyped.
But there come answers from
school authorities in as certain terms
saying that such conditions as Mr..
Crane speaks of do not exist in their

GOLF THREATENS TO
D|SPLACE BASEBALL
Throughout Towns in Mis-
souri, Especially, Scotch
Game in Favor.
NOT 50 THREE YEARS AGO
National PaStime Meant ONLY
for Cities, Reason for
Change.

Golf has invaded the smaller cities
in Missouri and with another season
bids fair to become the most popular
Outdoor sport, says a dispatch from
Jefferson City to the st. Louis Re.
public. No Missouri city considers
itself of much Importance just now
unless it has a golf club.
This was not true a year ago, and
three years ago there were no golf
clubs outside of the large cities and
perhaps one or two health resorts
patrOnized by people from the large
cities. The country clubs are coming,
too, and another season will see them
a permanent attachment of perhaps
every third-class city in the State and
even cities of less statutory dignity.
Some weeks ago attention was
called to the apparent decadence of
baseball in the smaller cities of the
State. 1t is not in evidence yet that
golf is undermining the great Amer
ican game, for it appears that as a
rule, the devOtees of the links have
never been much on patrOnizing ball.
Eut the spread of golf in the country
is undoubtedly due to the same cause
that is detracting from baseball, to-
wit: A consuming desire on the part
of the people who live in the cities
to spend their leisure time i'm the
country when the weather will per-
nit
There is much evidence to show
that the automobile is the prime sin
ner against baseball, for it affords an
easy means of the city people
getting out in the country. and when
they get out i'm the woods or fields
they are getting away from the dia-
mond.
A Jefferson City man, DIR. Talbot.
narrowly missed capturing the first
prize at the State golf tournament,
which ended at Sedalia Saturday. A
year ago neither jefferson City nor
Sedalia had a golf club or a country
club. and now they are very much in
evidence with both. But a year ago
both supported baseball clubs and
supported them well for cities of
their size.
The clubs, good for their class, and
not far behind the st. Louis Browns,
are the same today, or were at the
opening of the season this spring.
but both soon wearied of playing to
empty benches, and may be referred
to now in the past tense.
Baseball grounds are in the cities,
not in the country. Perhaps if they
were moved several miles out of the
city limits the city people would hunt
them up and fill the seats at every
game. But this is only conjecture
What seems reasonable is that base
ball must keep close to the shore in
the smaller cities until the city peo-
pie tire of golf. picnics, fishing par
ties, etc, if in reality they ever do.

schools. And there is the possibil-
ity Mr.. Crane called many men with
college hatbands and college pins
and belts college men who never saw
the inside of a college hall.
For the sake of argument one
might grant that Is per cent of the
college men are failures after grad
uation. Then Mr.. Crane might make
some interesting investigations in
obtaining the percentage of failures
among non-college men.

NEW YORK.-MOre than 100000
children have reported for duty at
the 525 public schools of the city of
New York. Pupils enrolled in pri-
vate schools, parochial schools, busi-
ness and charitable schools and the
city colleges, brought the total ap-

into consideration.
Before June 80 next it is estimated
125,0OO more children will have

Between 10000 and 10000 of the
public school children who reported
today will be put on part time be-
cause there is not room to seat them
