RELIGION AND THE DRAMA.

According to Current Literature,
since evolution moves in a circle
or a spiral, the drama may be swing.
ing around to the old morality stage
of earlier times. This magazine points
out that the New Theatre recently
staged two of the old English morality
plays and that Henry w. Savage has
had the temerity to produce mod
ern morality" play.
While change in modern drama
would doubtless be pleasing to many.
it seems that as yet the modern NOR.
ality" play has not been highly sue
cessful. "Everywoman" by the late
Walter Browne. is, according to Cur
rent Literature" very poor imita-
ton of the earlier morality play, "Ev-
erynan ''-,-'--
In Germany at present two religious
plays are the center of discus sion.

Urges Support for Debating.

Editor the MissOurian: A Universe
Ity has as its primary object the train
| ing and development of the intellect
With this as premise it is strange
that intellectual contests should re
lceive so little support from Univer.
sity students and a University com.
munity. The attendance at the recent
lMissouri-Kansas debate would almost
deny the validity of our premise, and
lit is indeed a deplOrable fact that de.
batting secures 80 little support from
the student body. Without depreciat-
ling the value or pleasure of a physi-
cal contest, it is only reasonable to
say that an Intellectual contest is more
valuable and just as beneficial, if not
quite so pleasurable. to the public in
general
Missouri has been remarkably sue
cessful in her debating contests, hav-
ing lost but one debate in the past
three years, and having defeated Kan.
sas every year since 1904. But this
is not due to the support of the STU
dent body, but to the debating clubs
of the University.
One week from next Saturday, Mis-
souri, University will debate Oklahoma
University here. Missouri will be rep
resented by two strong speakers, B. G.
Clark and o. J. Myers, and there is
no reason why there should not be a
crowd of at least 500 students at the
debate. The question to be discussed
is living one. not dead issue of the
past, but one which every citizen of
the country should know about, and
take an interest in solving. The facts
of whole library on the subject have
been gathered and boiled down for con.
else and effective presentation. Why
not come out and absorb some of
them?
While the different clubs and de-
partments are appropriating the pro-
ceeds of their stunts to good causes.
why does not debating come in for
share? 1t needs the funds. 1t de-
serves help and support as much as it
needs funds and that is pretty badly.
Come ont and help Missouri win,
mean you-not the other fellow, but
You may bring him along.

RUSsIA'S NEW ToLSToY.

Within few months after the death
of Tolstoy one has come to succeed
him as the leader of his people. He
does not lead as did Tolstoy, however
and is more interested in the political
than the social welfare of the Russian
people. This man is Peter Stolypine,
the head of the Russian ministry.
Stolypine is in the position of wheat
between two wheels. On one side the
socialists and radicals are grinding
him, and on the other the reactionaries
and conservatives. He is the luber-
cant which enables the Russian Duma
to transact its business, for if it were
not for him sparks would be continual
ly flying between the two houses of
that body. He has, made the Duma
an efficient legislature and in doing so
has received the ill-will of both parties.
Through his influences Finland and
Poland were incorporated into the
Russian Empire as regular pro-
vinces instead of subject states. and
for this he was removed from the mead
of the ministery, but not for long.
StOlypine is the consistent friend of
the people in a country where consis-
tency is almost unknown and where
the rights o. the people have been trod
under the heel of tyrants since he
country came to be. He is the liber-
ator of people. and deserves place
coordinate with Tolstoy as god-fath
er of the New Russia.

THE CONSUMERS LEAGUE.

One of the many organization.
which exist today for the bettermen
of the condition of industrial workers
is the Consumers League. Wher
founded in 1890 this association was
the first to recognize publicly the re
sponsibility of the consumer or pur
chaser for the conditions of the work
ing men, women and children.
The purpose of the league Is to
accquaint the purchaser with condi,
tions under which the work is done
the wages paid, and the hours OF Ia
Dor of the producer. 1t appeals to the
employer to allow inquiry into the con.
ditions of his work-people and to i'm
prove them when possible.
The league uses a label, attached to
the article for sale, which indicates
that the garment or article has not
been made under sweat-shop condi-
tions. 1t has also a list of fair
houses" which contains the names of
stores that deal justly with their en-
ployes. The New York branch of the
league has for its standard of fair
house" one in which equal pay is CIV
en- for work of equal value regardless
of sex, in which wages are paid by
the week, and the daily working hours
do not exceed ten. A half holiday
must be given each week at least dur
ing the summer months. No children
under IA may be employed in these
houses.
The leagues label is used by 65
manufacturers. It's fair list" contains
a large number of great stores. SIM
liar organizations have been formed in
France, Germany and Switzerland,
and there are more than twelve states
in the Union, including Missouri, that
have factories approved by the league.
They include chiefly textile manufac-
turers. and make all grades of cloth
ing from the cheapest to the finest.
For a score of years the league has
published a white list" of stores
where the employees are justly treat
ed. In place of this old list there
will be published from time to time
statements of actual conditions as
they exist in individual stores. This
will allow freer exercise of judgment
on the par of the consumer and will
make his responsibility greater
Much of the responsibility for in
dustrial conditions rests with the wo-
men. for they are the shoppers. If
they insist on garments being purchas-
ed from sanitary factories, where the
employer gives his employees more free
hours a day, employs only those physi-
cally able to work, does not have
small children working for him, and |
pays ample wages. the merchant will |
see that it is to his advantage to con- |
form to these requirements.

tons a declaration to pledge the
teachers to votes for women"
Mr.. Murray was head of the Colo
RADIO educational department during
1893 and 1894, during the term of
Governor Waite. During his term the
franchise was extended to women in
Colorado, and at the next election a
woman was elected to succeed Muir
ray, and the office of State Superin-
tendent in Colorado has ever since
been held by woman.
Mr.. Murray has been a resident OF
San Francisco for number of years
and is now secretary of the California
Democratic State Central Committee.
But the fact that woman suffrage
robbed him of his job, and for nearly a
score of years has kept any other man
out of the office, has not in the least
lessened Murray's ardor for equal sur
frage, as proved by the radical set of
resolutions, drawn by him, which he
will present to the National Educa.

Chicago, July 10.-Fourteen more
deaths had been added to the appalling
list due to the heat at o'clock to-
night. The temperature lowered near
the 90-degree mark throughout the
day, but the humidity was more
marked than ever and intensified the
suffering. Dispatches from outside
points indicate that the two-days' re-
spite from torridity had been ended in
many places and that the temperature
is rising again at all points. A
sprinkle of rain fell this afternoon,
but it was turned to steam the mo-
ment it struck the hot pavements and
buildings, thus increasing the suffer
ing.
Chicago's death rate jumped to the
highest point in many years this week.
Burial permits had been issued for
842 persons up to Sunday night, and
it is considered probable that there
will be applications for approximately
1907 more tonight. Not all of these
are direct victims of the heat, but q
large percentage is in that class.
Ninety of the number were stricken
dead by the sun.
The total number of deaths was SOC
more than the previous week, and the
mortality among babies was more
than doubled. One hundred and sixty
five babies died from heat causes
The alarming infant mortality is
causing much anxiety in the health
department and special nurses anc
physicians are being sent through the
congested districts to assist mothers.
Free ice is being distributed to all the
poor and posters printed in many Ian
