City. with an enrolment of 43O, has
q membership of twenty men, and In
the last year spent 81 for current ex-
penses. -
In comparison with the neighbor-
ing universities. the Y. NJ. c. A. at
Missouri stands second to none.
Both Illinois and Kansas are two
hundred behind it in membership.
But at Illinois the seven religious
meetings held during the year had an
average attendance of 800 men,
against fifty-three for Missouri.
The pride of Michigan University
is it's Y. NJ. c. A. The students have
worked hard to enroll large mem
bership. with the result that 400
belong to the association. The ex-
penses for the year at Ann Arbor
were $4,000.
In the periodical called Association
Men. published by the Y. NJ. c. A.,
one number is devoted to the pro-
gress Of ten years. Discussing the
work done among college students, it
says that the membership has
doubled. going from thirty to sixty
thousand; the Bible class students
in the association have tripled, now
numbering $4,000, while the secre-
taries have come up from 80 to 1S1.
Some general facts about what the
association is doing are interesting.
Twenty-four thousand three hundred
boys We're taught to swim during the
past year; the men taught were
about fourth of this number. The
total value of the real property
owned by the Y. NJ. C. A. is $62,OOO,-

A MORAL VICTORY.

It was just, said labor generally
when the Mcnamara sentences were
pronounced. The true mettle Of the
unionists showed itself. The pill was
bitter and nerve was required to
swallow it without finching. but Ia
tor on the whole stood the test.
Following the defense made by the
unions, the confessions were a Sc
we're blow. But a great lesson was
lesrned-one Of those old-fashioned
lessons taught so forceibly by ex-
perience.
The lesson was we'll received. 1t
proved to the labor unions the fol-
IL of Mcnamara methods as an aid
70 their cause. It proved to their ap-
parent satisfaction the harm violence
will do them in their struggle with
capital.
Labor stood valisntfy BY It's lead
-ers 80 long as there WAS an doubt
of their guilt. It was just it should.
Then, when the truth WAS learned 1t
accepted the outcome In the proper
spirit. .
In its crisis labor did not forget
nor can it ever AFFORD to-that 1t ie
an integral part Of society. that its
interests are as social as those Of
anyone.

PUBLIC OPINION THEIR BASIS.

PUBLIC OPINION THEIR BASIS.
International opinion or the con-
sensus of individual opinion in q na-
tion makes international laws prac-
tical and applicable.
Our state does not secure Obedi-
ence to the laws solely by means of
punishment and penalty. 1t is In ex-
ceptional cases that men refrain from
crime through fear of corporal pun
ishment or fine. In the majority of
cases persons refrain from violating
law because of apprehension OF
public condemnation. National laws
are thus sanctioned by public opin.
ion, and they are capable of en-
forcement so far as they are in con.
formity with the opinion of the peo-
pie. International laws are enforced
by the same kind of sanction-publiC
opinion.
In former times, each isolated ma
tion was satisfied with its own opin.
ion. separated from all other nations
by mutual ignorance and misjudg-
ment. The improved facilities for
transportation, travel, commerce,
communication and the press howev-
er, have changed the condition. The
breaking down of this isolation
makes possible the overspreading OF
a common international opinion,
upon which depends the existence OF
international laws.
How international opinion is to be
educated properly is the greatest
problem that confronts the world.

THE TRIAL OF THE JUROR.

For more than q month Harry
Wsldron Of Kansas City had been q
prisoner. Then. one dark night he
left his prison chamber In q hotel
and aed-no one knew where.
Waldron had been guilty of no
crime-at least he was not charged
with one. He was merely one man
of twelve who had been 50 unfortu-
nate as to be chosen on the panel of
the Hyde murder trial. For more
than four weeks he was under the
surveillance of a deputy sheriff. care
fully watched during the day and
locked in at night.
Is it any wonder that this man got
to thinking of home, that his jury
duties grew irksome. that he wanted
to get away from it all? He was ac-
cused of no crime, yet he was held
prisoner for more than thirty days
and the outlook was for much longer
imprisonment.
We read long stories Of the hu-
man-interest side Of murder trials.
We read of the mental strain on the
McNamaras, on the Hydes and the
Beatties, and the husbands and
wives, fathers and mothers of &C.
cused persons. We seldom read OF
the Harry Waldrons, the men who
must sit for days and days and
sleep as prisoners night after night
until the life or death of the defend
ant fades into triviality beside the
one mad desire to be free. We are
inhuman in our treatment of purors.

Professors Od1ce Hours.
Editor of the Missourian: While
it is true that the faculty members
are as a rule busy men. yet they
should realize that there are some
students almost equally busy and
that student has to plan his work
for each day. Many professors are
negligent about keeping Office hours,
OF have Office hours at the most in
convenient time of the day from the
students standpoint. Two or three
unsuccessful Attempts to see a pro-
fessOr is enough to interrupt serious
ly whole days work. Faculty
members should bear in mind this
fact and either keep their Office hours
or not make one feel as though he
had committed a crime by calling at
other times.

survey Of the shoulders that evoked such

AIMS gown, recalled a memory less ancient.

"I've got on in the world by remembering
trfcs,' he said.
Somewhat like a detective suggested
Rodosav blandly.
Somewhat, agreed Saccarello with equal
Suavty.
Has remembering my gown helped you
on in the world:" laughed Ann.
"Who knows. Signorina," he rejoined,
still smiling. who knows"
She had painful suspicion that the terri
bic old man not only knew she had treasured
his praise at the opera, but set her down as
an arttul mink for pretending to have for
gotten it. She was nervous under his strange
scrutiny at table, and gave Rodoslav but
lukewarm aid in his efforts to prove that
they dwet in a world apart. II was not that
she was half-heartcd. In point Of fact. she
had keyed herself TO a resolve to do her ut
most to help him circumvent this diabolical
old creature who seemed to signify SO much.
But intentions would not serve. SaCcarello's S
legend terrified her even more than the man
himself. Only when the dinner reached its
end did her fear lift and give way to acute
regret. She felt as if she had lost RodOSlay
his Empire.
