mers Union held a we'll attended
meeting in this city last Saturday at
which time plans we're formulated for

last meeting Of the year 1911. At

nature of love-feast and house warm
ing, for at this session they will oc-
cupy the rooms recently fitted up by
the Redmen and the dedication will
be in the line Of the usual progressive
spirit displayed by this organization.
Several topics Of Importance will be
taken up and discussed, chief among
them being perhaps the advisability
Of forming independent road districts,
an act being passed by the last legis-
lature which provided where suffi-
cient number of people in certain
district petitioned the commissioners
Of the county for an independent road
district, the commissioners should
order an election held and if a majority
voted for the creation of such pro.
posed highway district the same should
be created and the power to levy
taxes for road purposes and expend
money for the roads and highwa,
improvements should be placed en-
tirely within the hands Of commits
sioners appointed by the governor fol
theNistrict. Another subject which
will be taken up and considered viii
be; docs the Supply and Demand
Govern the prices of Farm Products9
This is question the discussion o
which should be of interest to all.

Nezperce Local Option Election.

Petitions having for their pur-
pose the calling Of another local op-
tion election are being circulated in
Nezperce county and it is hoped a
sufficient number Of signers will be
obtained by tomorrow so that the list
may be filed with the board. The
first petitions made their appearance
in Lewiston last Friday and in few
hours over 500 signers were obtained.
Others are being circulated in the
remaining precincts Of the county.
The petition will be acted on at the
January meeting Of the board and the
election cannot occur earlier than
March 9th. At the election held two
years ago when Nezperce was put in
the dry column by majority of over
800, the county embraced territory
out Of which has been carved the new
counties of Lewis and Clearwater,
reservation country principally and
also dry. With the trimming down
of the county it is. in the dry column,
according to the returns of tho local
option election by 100 majority. But
there is little doubt as to the county
returning to licenses and regulation.
Over in Lemhi county, where they
have been getting their booze via the
bootlegging route, the county went
back to regulated saloons by an over
whelming majority at the election held
last week.

Wholesaling Meat.

Grangeville is getting quite name
in the wholesale field. the Peoples
Meat Market is now shipping regularly
meats to the butchers Of Ilo and
Reubens and will also supply several
other surrounding towns in the near
future. The purchase correctly figure
that it is much cheaper to purchase
their meat than to employ the neces-
sary help and slaughter the same,
and the prices made by Grangeville
dealers makes it a matter Of great
economy to buy here as against Spo-
kane.

Gone to Investigate Crime.

Word has been received from
Deputy Sheriff Thompson, who is in
Elk City on business, stating that a
man has been sent from Dixie to the
Salmon river section where Pruitt is
supposed to have killed his partner
early in November and to have cast
the body in that stream. The party
left Dixie last Saturday and it may
be some little time will have elapsed
before his return to civilization. In
the meantime Pruitt is being held in
the county jail to await developments.

Football in Russia.

Football is taking an extraordinary hold of the Russian youth. A series of matches played recently in a large Russian city attracted over 20,000 spectators at each game. It is the English game according to association rules that is played and the terminol- ogy is adopted without translation. It sounds curious to hear a Russian crowd shouting "offside," "corner" or free kick" as they watch the play. But most wonderful of all is the vo- cabulary of the reporters who descibe the matches. Apparently they are really musical critics of some preten- sion, for their published reports abound in mention of the crescendo passages and bravura thrills accom- plished by the football players.

COLUMBIA SHOULD ~DREss UP"

You would expect a wealthy man 70
keep we'll dressed. You would be sur
prised to see him with patches. un-
slightly stains and blotches on his
clothes. Why not expect a wealthy
and self-respecting city like Columbia
to be well dressed also!
Columbia has many fillooking spots
that must be removed before the town
can look dressed up" Ugly old out
houses in back yards, junkheaps on
vacant lots. old vehicles, piles OF
bricks and lumber on side streets-all
these are like grease-spots on an 9TH
erwise goodsiooking suit of clothes.
Besides these there are hideous, tat
tered billboards which scatter bits of
paper up and down the streets. There
is no excuse for these blots on the
city's good looks.
There are also some uns:ghtly
things that are not the result of care
lessness-they are put there inten-
tionally. OEerhanging street signs
and sidewalk displays on the busy
streets are not only offensive to the
eye but may be dangerous. There is
no telling when a wire may become
rusty and break and let a heavy sign
fall to the pavement. The displays of
groceries and meat in front of stores
take up room which belongs to pedes-
trians. A sidewalk on a busy street
like Broadway cannot be too wide
When a display stand occupies three
or four feet of the pavement it is an
inconvenience to passers-by. Then
the objscts themselves are unpleasant
sights. They are often, to say the
least. disgusting.
II may seem at first that many
street signs and sidewalk displays are
sign OF thrift. That may be so.
But they are also s;gn that the
city is behind the times to the ex-
tent that it has not acquired the
knack of keeping well-dressed.

ing affords pleasant and profitable
diversian from studying or teaching.
The clubs usefulness directly to the
University is easily seen.
The larger significance of the GIee
Club to the University. however, lis
developed when it comes into contact
with those not of the University COM
munity by means of its concerts out
side Of Columbia. Heretofore Glee
Club trips over the state have not
paid expenses. But the debt which it
has contracted should be charged to
advertising and good will of the Un:-
versity. The concerts always make
friends for and attract attention to
the University.
1ne university Is better known and
has more fr.ends in Missouri this year
than it had last and will have more
next year than it has this. Hereafter,
there is little reason to suppose a Glee
Club trip would not pay its own ex-
penses. But unless the concert this
year is a financial success, there will
be no club next year.
1t is much more than an evenings
musical entertainment which the pur-
chaser gets for the 50-cent admission
fee to the concert Saturday night

FOR A "HoME" TOWN.

On a certain street in Columbia is
IA plain two-story frame house. The
front gate hangs on one hinge. The
paint on the house is faded and the
yard is Uttered with tin cans, ashes
and old boards. We unconseiously
come to the conclusion that the man
who lives there scolds his wife, beats
his children and throws stones at his
neighbors dogs.
Columbia would be greatly improved
if people would take some pride in
the appearance of the lawns about
their homes. A grassy yard with a
few choice flowers and shrubs is an
evidence of thrift and character. To
the minds of many a home IS not a
home without a green lawn and a few
flowers.
= The large building lots in Colum-
bia make possible a splendid develop
nlent in this direction. Columbia can
be made a beautiful home town, but
1t will take some grass and flowers
and shrubs to do it.

Opposes Sophomore PIedge-Day.
Editor The Missourian: The writer
of the following article has read with
care and interest the two viewpoints
in the Missourian signed by "A Fra
ternity Man" and Another Fraternity
Man." In neither of these articles
was any proof offered to support some
rather strong statements made there
in
To date there has been no compila-
ton OF grades, that know of, compar-
ternity men and non-fraternity men
as a whole. Neither have We any
statements of the scholarship among
the students of the two University
dormitories for men or other board
ing and rooming clubs in town. Be-
fore the fraternity system can be held
responsible for the present situation,
it must be fairly compared W III like
groups of men in the University. On
the other hand, since for the last two
semesters the sorority girls have hal
"a higher average of scholarship than
the non-sorority girls, the fraternities
might as well be justified in concluJ-
ing that life in a social fraternity (the
sororities included within this terml.
is especially conducive to good schol-
arship.
The editorial in the last issue of the
Oven proposing a sophomore pledge
day cannot be taken seriously by the
majority of fraternity men in the Uni
versity. If the editorial referred to
was written by fraternity man. then,
he displayed a wonderful amount of
ignorance on the subject. If written
BY a non-fraternity man, and the editor
in-chief is ultimately responsible for
all editorials appearing in his maga-
zine. then We can excuse some of the
statements made therein as being due
to an extremely limited knowledge OfI
the subject fer which he modestlyt
proposes a remedy.

A. JUST HONOR FOR AIR MEN.


The movement to get Congress to
appropriate money for building mon
ument in honor of Moissant, Hoxsey
and Johnstone should meet with ap-
proyal. For the sake of science, as
well as personal gain and glory, these
men did much to demonstrate the
practicab.lity OF heayier-than-air flying
machines. While engaged in this
work the three men met death.
Monuments or memorials of any
kind cannot compensate for the loss
sustained or express the appreciation
of the American people fol. their hero
ic accomplishments, but some express
sion of national recognition should be
made. Through practical experiments
these men added much to the science
OF aviation; they gave their lives to
the study of this new mode of travel.
Other persons who have added to
some branch of knowledge may de-
serve like recognition-but that does
not detraet from the memory of these
three daring men. Just honor should
be paid to these three who stood
among the foremost of their profess
son and died while engaged in trying
to give something useful to the world.

Il Poem, for Today
Tho Tiger.

civilian Blake lived from 1857 until
1897. He was a painter as well as a
poet, and was eccentric to the verge
of madness. His work hovers on the
border line between insanity and rea-
son, and at times one is dubious where
to place it. He takes up the interrupt
ed strain of the Elizabethians, recall
ing the disused metre and bold flights
of imagination. He had deep love
for children and animals.)
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
Or the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
SUulu lWtcd tuC SfnOWo VI ehS hSHAt
And. when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread
feet!
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil! what dread grasp?
Dare its deadly terror clasp?
When the stars threw down their
spears, F
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make
thee?
Tiger, tiger. burning bright
In the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
