Department Games Successful.

Editor the Missourian: The series
lof inter-department basketball games
held just before the Christmas hol;-
days should be continued Each of
the six contesting departments-or di-
visions-have played three other
teams. These games are not COM
pleted, since each team should play
two more opponents before it can
truly assert its supremacy Inter-de-
partment games, as. introduced by
Coach Jones, have already proved a
success. as far as interest is con-
cerned. Many of the games have been
as fast as Varsity contests. They
too. there is more spirit in such COM
petition than between classes. This
has been demonstrated in the popular
ity of inter-department track meets
held last spring over inter-class
events. Coach Jones is wise in apply
ing this feature to basketball. II is
hard to get men out for inter-class
games. Where five can be scraped
together for such competition, ten
will sign up for inter-department
games. and material is developed for
the Varsity besides. Let's continue
these inter-department games.

AMERICAS LOSS IN AIRCRAFT

The last day of December, 1910
witnessed the crushing out of two
lives. one on the coast of California
and one on the north coast of the Gull
of Mexico. Both these men were
areonauts, John B. Moissant and Arch
Hoxsey, native Americans. Each had
excelled in his field of aircraft, Hoxsey
having risen to greater altitude than
any other human being, and Moissant
having driven his craft a greater dis
tance than any other of the bird-men.
Each was trying to break his own
record when the accident causing his
death occurred. Each was killed by
his machine turning turtle when at
tempting to alight.
, And so the two men who had won
for America the first place in areonu-
tics were killed. Curtiss. the Wright
Brothers and many others are left
to represent America among the aero
nauts of the world, but whatever prog
ress may be made in aircrafts. no
airmen will ever surpass in courage
and skill the two Americans, Moissant
and Hoxsey.

THE GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

A large number of people have a
habit of making New Year resolu-
tons. If they have formed bad habits.
they wait till the first of the year and
then solemly register the pledge of
never again" In two or three weeks
they are at it again. OF course. there
are exceptions but this is generally
the end of the average effort to BE
good"
Now the New Year resolution is a
fine thing--if it is kept-but the
trouble is that it is only reached after
|procrastination and that is the thief
of moral fibre as well as time. If one
feels himself in the grip of Habit,
it is dangerous to wait till the begin
ming OF the next year TO break it.
When that birthday of good intentions
arrives the clauCeS are tudl Tue per-
son has become willing slave of that
particular vice
Sound the war cry of never again"
as soon as you find that you are be-
ginning to like your threatened mas
ter too well, and the great danger
to your will power will be removed.
The will is like muscle of the body
that becomes stronger by use.
The best resolution you can make
at this season is to stop making reso-
lutions. Put up your right hand and
wait for the beginning of year to
speak sincerely: Never again will i
stop anything that is doing me harm"

HOW HAMPTON'S
MADE ENEMIES

The following Is q part OF lohB
article explaining the position OF the
Progressive Magazines. especially
Hampton's, in the new movement
led by the President and The Money
power to stop their sharp criticisms
called undertaking of great industrial
social, financial, governmental and
moral evils:
Now to turn to another phase OF
the subject, one which is so person
al that we have hesitated to deal
with It publicly until events of the
last several months have made 1t
clear that the time for silence has
passed.
During Hamptons brief existence
II has fought steadily against the
Money Power. BY reason of It's
independence and its strict fidelity
to it's conception of journalistic re-
sponsbility, It has turned the light
into many dark corners, and In each
of them It has made an enemy.
one article dealt with the mystery
enshrouding the affairs OF Trinity
Church Corporation. That expose
resulted directly In the reform OF
Trinity tenements, as well as in caus-
ing the Corporation to break its LONG
silence and tell the public something
OF its affairs. Readers who recall
the extensive ramifications Of Trim
itys financial connections, reaching
into many of the most powerful in
stltutions in Wall Street. will real
ize that this magazine did not make
any friends among those money
kings who used even the church's
wealth to advance their interests.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS HlS MIND
Tells Magazine Men Postal Rate
Fight Is Not Ended.

Washington, March 2. --- President
Taft told the magazine men bluntly
that his fight for an increased rate
on second-class postage was on to a
finish, and that they might as well
prepare TO face the issue again In
the next congress If II is defeated in
this one. He suggested that the
methods used by some of the maga-
zines In combating the proposed
legislation we're the kind usually re.
sorted to in defense OF cause for
which there is no defense.
This declaration to a delegation OF
magazine publishers who called at

time after the president had received
word from the capitol that II would
be impossible to pass his second.

WASTING MILLIONS ON FORTI
FICATIONS.

In urging the naturalization OF the
s canal, Chairman Tawney of the Com
mittee on Appropriations declared
that the fortifcations would ultimate
ly cost $50, 100000, besides S26'OOO'-
900 a year for maintenance. Prob
ably few members Of the House who
vote for the Administrations policy
put much faith in the official esti-
mates of $4,000, 900 in the total cost
Of fortihcation.
In matters of this sort the Govern
ment always spends more money
than was first proposed. The item
of $3,0oO,O 900 voted by the House as
an initial appropriation Is a relative
~ small sum as military expenditures
go. The advocates of a forthed
canal would have been glad to start
with only 100000, so long as they
succeeded in committing the Govern
ment TO theih scheme.
The War Department is now pre-
pairing plans for IA garrison OF 6'ooo
troops to man the fortihcationsThis
means that the next demand Will be
for a large increase in the size OF
the army
II is the same with military eN-
penditures everywhere: the more Is

more governments are called on to

London, March 'l.-,rhat the Boer

tions of English politicians In high
places, is the charge made In the
autobiography of Che late Sir wii-
liam Butler, which appeared to-
dav. ~
Butler was military commander In
South Africa, just preceding the war.
He declares that he repeatedly warn
ed his government of the imminence
OF war but his suggestions we're not
only disregarded but were resented
because he insisted on holding the
English responsible for the trouble.
He attributes his recall to his re-
fusal to cooperate in plan to force
the Beers to fight.
on arriving in South Africa, Butler
says he found that the local English
interests were striving to infuriate
the Beers to the point of an out
break. These interests attempted un-
successfully to get him to send false
| reports back to England to inflame
the English, mind against the Beers.
Even when IL knew 1t was facing
war. the English government, Butler

struggle. but curtailed the strength
and equipment of her troops in South
| Africa.

force replies from Miner, Joseph

retary at the time, and Earl Lands
