APPOINTMENTS BY MERIT.

The management of Missouri's
eleemosynary institutions is a tribute
TO her citizenship. The common
wealth is fortunate that men of hon
or and ability have superintended
these charities.
Can we improve?
Should the appointive power of
TIE governor extend to the eleemosy-
nary institutions of the common
wealth? Would not this executive
more efficiently administer his office
If he were relieved of the task of
appointments and rid of the office
seekers?
A change tends to paralyze the
efficiency of any plant. Any superin-
tendent is hindered by the likelihood
Gl his tenure lasting only four years
These institutions require special
lists. They present delicate scientific
questions. beyond the business man
agement.
Is it fair that the deaf and dumb.
the blind and the insane should be
the spOils of each political campaign?
The MissOurian believes that the
present splendid administration of
our eleemOsynary Institutions could

service.
Merit. entirely divorced from polit-
iral uncertainties. can alone bring
the highest efficiency.

Why College Education.

Editor the Observation-Disclosures
ing to the definition given by James.
the noted psychologist of America.
education is the organization of ac-
quired habits of conduct and ten
denotes to behavior No place is
better than the college in which
youth learns to acquire good habits.
In the light of experience and civil
lization, men and women must be
brought up under careful instruc-
tion of professors in the way they
should go.
1t is of necessity that youth mist
come to colleges to learn how to be-
have properly, how to think correct
". and how to acquire principles and
facts logically, before their habits
are formed. Perhaps. they may OBJ
tain these things through a series of
bitter experiences, but it does not
pay for anybody in an age of enlight-
cnment to make that experiment.
At present, people believe in the
short cut. The college is the short
est way which leads to a successful
life. Experience tells us that edu-
cation and success go hand in hand.
The aim of colleges is to provide
young men and women with educa-
ton for living a practical and use
full life. That is why many prosper

skirts usually have accordion flOunc-

FEARED At COWETA
order Issued to Monday Night For
Citizens Not en- Patrol Duty to
Remain at Home.

Coweta, Okla, Oct 24.-With about
twenty of the negro leaders under ar
rest and a wagon load of arms taken
from the blacks in Coweta, and held
by the officers, it is believed that there
will be no further rioting there. The
company of state militia remained Mon
day night. The principal develop
ments of the day were the finding of
John r. Thomas, a section foreman of
the Katy railroad, lying beside the
track a short distance from the town
He had been shot and his leg shat
tered Sunday night, and he was not
found until this morning. He will re-
cover.
Pete Williams, negro mail carrier,
who came from Texas, was placed un-
der arrest as an agitator 1t is alleged
that he had been inciting the negroes
for several weeks. The troops and the
county officers spent the day searching
houses and disarming negroes and took
up nearly a wagon load of guns of all
sorts. The town was patrolled again
Monday night by soldiers and citizens.
An order was issued Monday after
noon commanding all citizens of the
town not on patrol duty to remain as
closely as possible in their homes. This
applies alike to blacks and whites and
it is believed that it will be an effec-
tive way of preventing further trouble.
As far as the negroes who live in
Coweta are concerned, the danger is
over A large number have been plac-
ed under arrest and sent to Wagner
to Jail. Others have been searched and
disarmed. But the danger which the
whites have feared all along is that
negroes from Red Bird and other negro
settlements will arm themselves and
come in to renew the riot.
