N THE 1920 COLUMBIA BAND
&. II. AsIlIOck Has ClariOnet Played
by His Father 30 Years Ago.

G. H. AshlOck city jailer. has
c.arionet that his father played in
Columbia before the old University
was built and before the time of the
old courthouse. 1t is conservatively
estimated to be ninety years old.
More than likely. though. it is hun
dred instead of ninety.
Samuel L. Ashlock. the owner of
the old clarionet, played in the Co
lrmbia band with the old instrument
in 1870. There were eighteen MEM
bers of the band at that time. AL
though it was brass band with
horns and drums, fddles We're used.
This old band played al balls and
dances. and at the first fair held in
Boone county.
The old clarionet was brought
with Samuel l.. AshlOck from Ken
tucky. When he got to Columbia he
bought the land where the Wabash
station now stands for Sl.25 an acre.
Nr. Ashlock was hat manufacturer
and made hats at the corner of Ninth
and Broadway. He often talked of
the war of 1872. being a boy at that
time. He helped build the old Uni
versity. and when the war broke out
he moved out on farm southeast
OF town.
The clariOnet is made OF fine wood
and is finished in pure ivory. The
II outh piece is made of horn. The
metal on it was gold plated but il
has long ago worn off. The wood has
turned yellow with age
The favorite tunes played by Mr..
Ashlock were. The Campbells are
Coming" and "MOsart." and old In
dian tune.

The christmas Spirit" that DR.. c.
about yesterday afternoon at the Y.
~. G. A. was not the spirit of spend
ing one day in feasting, giving and
il, good fellowship. He believes
tl.at the true Christmas spirit lasts
throughout the entire year and is the
spirit of unselfish service. II is not
enough to give to people and leave
them in their poverty and distress.
The spirit should be that of lifting
them above the need of charity.
christmas is time when We
should take stock of our relation to
this life" said Doctor Ellwood. We
cannot have peace on earth with

orld. but peace can only be on
earth among men of good will. As
We know. that sentence that We quote
a this time of the year was wrongly
translated. Ii should be Peace on
earth among men of good will
Doctor Ellwood said that world
peace would not come through arbi-
tration alone. He said that the spir-
it of war was yet among men. The

and labor and there is cut-throat

law of service which has the spirit

Peace and War.

The following verses on The Pro-

sent to the University Missourian by
Harry b. Erkman:
Oh speed the time when war shall
cease,
And let us have eternal peace.
For war is wrong,
And earth's great thrOng,
Should raise the clamor, Give us
peace
Yes peace is our first great desire.
And love of peace an inward fire,
Oh give us peace.
Let envy cease.
And wars hOarse cry OF british ire.
And do not say eternal love.
And peace. goodwill was from
above
Declared in vain.
And wrong must reign
IN place of universal love.
But aid the wide world soon to .in.i
The strength of some united mind.
When hatred all
At last shall fall.
And love of peace the nation bind.

Address at dwelling Cere.
mony Of Statue Replica.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-The address of Rep
resentative Richard Bartholdt of st.
Louis at the ceremony today when a
replica of the statue of General Baron
Steuben was presented to the German
emperor by the American delegates
appointed for that purpose, MIR. Bar
tholdt and 8. B. Wolfram of New
York, was in part as follows:
Your Majesty: BY direction Of the
president Of the United States We have
come across the ocean to fulfill the
purport Of resolution unanimously
adopted by the American congress
providing for the presentation to his
majesty, the German emperor, and the
German people Of statue of General
Won Steuben, a great German and erst-
while citize and hero of two conti-
nents, as gift from the American
people. II in the performance Of this
honorable mission may be permitted
to interpret the sentiments Of the peo-
pie Of the United States, would say,
on behalf Of President Taft's special
embassy that the pro-offered donation
is to be pledge of peace and amity
and guarantee of the sincerity of the
earnest hope. cherished by all Ameri-
cans, that the effect of this ceremony
may be to draw more and more close
ly the bonds Of traditional friendship
and good will which, strengthened as
they are by the ties Of blood, have
always SO happily united the great
German empire with the great republic
of the west. the United States Of
America.
1.-THE name of Steuben will ever
awaken patriotic memories beyond the
ocean. Its bearer was the embodi-
ment of German order and discipline
and Of that loyalty Of which the poet
says. II 1t were not as old as the
world, surely German would have
invented it. He was not only the or
der-creating genius of the colonial
army, but also the indefatigable,
though modest organizer Of victories.
In just appreciation Of his great
achievements greatful people, nobly
disregarding national distinctions.
honored his memory by the erection,
in front Of the white house in Wash

commemorate his valuable services as
we'll as those rendered by the Germans
generally to the cause of American
independence And today's celebra-

international courtesy, but may we
not also interpret the ready accept

erous willingness, on the part Of Steu-
ben's old fatherland and it's exalted
sovereign. to appreciate and honor
those who by their conduct abroad
have added lustre to the German
name? Millions of hearts on the other
side of the Atlantic which throb warm

rejoice exultantly at such interpreta-
