royal mine workers.
One American is dead as result of
the riot He is Thomas jackson, a
deputy sheriff. Chris Sadberg. a

sought points of vantage outside
the town and kept up fusillade ..of
Shots until the arrival of Sheriff Kelt-
reinforced by train load of Officers
from Salt Lake City.
The posss replied to tho fire Of the
striker killing at least one Greek and
wounding two others. There may be

month. out of which they had to
spend $40 OF more for powder, while
Americans we're paid as much more.
The Japanese and other foreigners

it was an effort to deter them from
entering the mine that precipi6ats ID

Viewpoint
Professional Baseball.

Editor the Missourian:-FOr some
years there has been an agitation
among certain colleges for the repeal
OF the summer rule. the rule that
fOrbids college baseball players from
joining professional or semi-prOfes-
sional teams during the vacation
months.
The plan has made little headway.
Universities and colleges shy at the
idea OF letting professionalism
into the schools. 1t has not been a
great many years since the colleges
got rid of the last vestiges of the old
practice of football ringers The
freshman rule cured that evil, cured
it effectively and finally
The fact is, college baseball is in
a bad way. Colleges all over the
country are dropping the game Like
it or not, the friends of the game
have come to the conclusion that the
only way 10 save il is to make the
rules of eligibility less rigorous. 1t
IS not that there are not good players
in the schools. there are plenty of
them, but the good men are ineligi-
BILE. There are few successful college
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1911-12-03

baseball men who are financially able
to spurn the call of easy money at
clean work during their vacation.
There is considerable argument for
the abolition of the summer rule in
the fact that college baseball players
spend practically two years in school
before getting chance to play on
the college team. Any man who
makes grades in college for Is
months is bona fide student regard
less of whether he plays professional
baseball in the summer. If the con-
cession is necessary to save the
game, it might be well to swallow a
little pride and look the thing square
l. in the face. w. S.

STANDING BY BREWER.

Prof. C. L. Brewer came to Mis-
souri, with a reputation as winning
football coach. He has faced an un-
fortunate series of accidents and in
cidents this season. He did not turn
out a winning team. But the stu
dents, the people of Columbia and the
alumni believe in Brewer. The hu
initiating season has not shaken their
confidence.
The fact speaks worlds for the per-
sonality and the sterling qualities of
Nissouri's athletic director. 1t also
speaks much for the Missouri spirit.
Over at Lawrence. so the story
goes, big bunch OF roOters left the
field during the Nebraska game. The
hammer brigade had been organized
Immediately after the Oklahoma
game. Only a pitiful handful of the
Fighting Five Hundred" came on
the special train to Columbia The
vaunted lighting spirit" of Kansas

The Missouri spirit hasn't Jagged
this season. Clear down to the mo-
ment when Jimmy Shuck's boot sent
the oval flying for the score that tel
Kansas, the Missouri rooters bacsed
the team and the trainer, winning or
losing.
1t means that Professor Brewer Is
going to have a fo .tIc.l team next

they did to Kansas Cry year after

DO YOUR SHOPPING NOW.

The Christmas holidays are almost
here. And as every one knows. the
two weeks of December Just before
Christmas are always characterized
by mad rush to make purchases.
People stampede almost like cattle
They throw politeness TO the winds.
Such rushes are little short of barbar-
ism.
Should not nation which claims
to be civilized take forethought and
strive to avert such barbarous GUS
toms? The clerks in the stores are
human, and consideration is due
tkem. Early shopping would be ap-
preciated.

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

A first impression is either good ol
bad; it is seldom Indifferent. Ones
first impression of city is usually the
one he receives as he leaves the train
1t may be wrong. but it is hard to
change.
That is why some sign of welcome
at each of the railroad stations in Co
lumbia, as has been suggested, would
not be bad investment. Denver has
utilized the opportunities of such a
plan. There is no reason why Colum-
TIA should not also.
Columbia can best afford to greet
her visitors with a friendly smile.

and create general disturbances. They
overburden the express companies
and transportation facilities. Many
are caused to work late in the night
and all the next day because of these
spasmOdic rushes.
The Columbia stores now have
their Christmas goods ready for sale.
So why isn't it good time to begin
shopping even now? OF course rushes
are not so bad here as in larger
cities, but they are bad enough.
Begin your shopping now and do
away with the custom of crowding
the business of two months into two
weeks time.
