THE VISITING NURSE

The Charity Organization Society
should have the cooperation and help
of all Columbia in its fight against
tuberculosis in Columbia. Obtaining
the services of a nurse is thing the
society may be proud of. Few cities
the size of Columbia have visiting
nurse. With the assistance of persons
outside the organization large bene-
fit will result.
The nurse and the society win ae-
complish good not only for the vic
tins who are relieved from suffering,
but for the entire community.
The selection of Miss Edith Frances
Haines is wise one. A former resi-
dent of Columbia, a graduate of the
University and former student in the
School of Medicine, she is unusually
well equipped for her work here.

The object of these contests is to

regulations and restrictions are plac.
ed on the sale Of butter by the various
state. and Government laws.
This is accomplished by scoring the

This contest though of recent origin

Vote the Way You Think.

Editor The Missourian: In regard TO
the coming student government cleo
tion students should be Independent.
University students. strange to say.
are, more than any other class, more
easily lead by what others say and by
popular beliefs. than by their own in
dividualt convictions.
Students must learn to cultivate
convictions of their own and not de-
pend upon others for their ideas. To
be more specific, students should not
vote in this election for man merely
becuase he has more. Endorsements
than any other, or because he is more
popular than the other candidates.
indeed, these facts tend to prove such
a candidate not as fit for the position
as a man who has greater actual pow
ers but who is naturally not adapted
to becoming popular. At any rate it is
not the measure of popularity that de-
termines a mans fitness for such an
Office. -
As Henry Schott of the Kansas
City Star pointed out in speech here
students must take interest
in the uplift of politics. not negatively
but positively. The sooner students
come to learn Of their importance IN
political standards of the
future. the greater the service they
can accomplish.
And their attitude on selecting rep
in this new political
scheme they have chosen will largely
determine their political status in Ia
ter life. They should from the very
first rearrange their standards for po-
htical qualifications. If they do not
do SO. their move in adopting student
government will be useless if not
harmful.

According to Frank Shaw. farmer

on the road to Jefferson City, the
residents of the country through
which the cross-state electric line is
going to pass are enthusiastic over
the proposition. They realize the
value of the new road and wish to do
everything they can to have it put
through in hurry. The citizens of
Ashland and the farmers living be-
tween Jefferson City and Columbia
have given literally to the bonus for
the road. Mr.. Shaw said:
The new Kansas City and ST.

wagon road to jefferson City. All of
the farmers in that section of the
county are enthusiastic over the pros

Lester Bermond, the Tiger sprinter,

THE RIGHT KIND OF GROWTH.

Columbia is beginning to assume
the proportions Of city. Although
her population strides are not as great
as some other towns. people from
many sections are moving here;
and no town in the state can claim Q
hisher class of citizenship. There has
been no great effort put forth to in.
crease the census figures, consequent.
ly the undesirable element is limited
J in numbers. \.
But it seems that the time is almost
here when there will be an even influx
of population. 1t seems certain that
at least one electric railway will be
built through the town and that rail-
way shop will be located here. With
the coming of a railway there will be
other industries, for Columbia will
then have a main line and special in
ducements to offer. 1t follows that
more people will come here to make
their homes.
Now, what kind of industries and
what kind of people does Columbia
wish to come? 1t would have tine
industries that employ the highest
class of labor-it does not want enter
prises that would fill the town with
unskilled labor and illiterate families.
Columbia wants skilled workmen,
high class artisans. storekeepers. pro-
fessional men and capitalists. With
their families, who would be men Of
enterprise and capacity. We have a
splendid beginning on which to build
a city that will be famous for its citi-
zenship.
The way to build city is to take
care of the people it already. has and
seek always to bring others here that
would be a credit to the community.
Let Columbia have the best govern
ment possible. the cleanest streets
possible and the best business houses
and industries possible. Public serv.
fee concerns should be raised to the
highest efficiency, educational facili-
ties should be even more complete
thap now and the churches and cultu-
raj socities should strive harder than
ever before to make this the best
town in Missouri. Nothing that would
add ,attractiyeness and efficiency
should be oyerlooked.
II these are held in mind and the
right kind of efforts are put FORTH.
Columbia will grow faster than ever
before and the growth will be the
right kind.

BUNDLE OF PICTURES
Will Be an Exhibit Before the Grand
Jury in Dynamite Case.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 16.-Bundles
of photographs showing how bridges.
viaducts, derricks and buildings had
been wrecked by dynamite and nitro
glycerin were taken before the federal
grand jury today. They were part of
the evidence in the governments in
vestigation of the dynamite conspiracy
and were gathered by J. A. G. Baderf.
a detective employed by the National
Erectors' association. Baderf investi-
gated more than 100 explosions, begin
ming with one at Millers Falls, Mass,
in 1905. and continuing down until Oc-
tober 16 1911, when dynamite was
found under a bridge near Santa Bar
bara, Cal, just before President Taft's
special train passed.
Baderf traced the movements of the
McNamaras and the operations of Or
tie Mechanical, who went out from the
headquarters of the International As
sociatior of Bridge and Structural Iron
Y 'o~kers to do the fjobs."
Special attention was given to the
plan of John J. Mcnamara, secretary

explosions occur simultaneously in far
scattered places.

derf as showing that persons other

Own Head Off.

Los Angeles, Dec 16.-Samuel P.

Iy today and then committed suicide
The Ayerses have been here about
three months. The elder man lost his
wife some time ago and remarked yes

the back of the head. The bullet pene-
trated his brain, but surgeons said he
had a slight chance of recovery. The
double tragedy took place at $50
O'Clock this morning. Father and son
occupied adjoining rooms. 1t is sup
pos. = that the elder man entered his
sons room and after firing a bullet
into the Iatter's head hurried back to
his own apartment and .~-nmitted sui
eide. A bullet entered his mouth and
almost tore the top of his head off.
Soon after coming to California
Samuel Ayers purchased ranch at
Beaumont, near Riverside. Apparent
ly, the family was well to do. Pass
books showed comfortable deposits in
several banks. Samuel Ayers was
about SO years old and the son about
20 Joseph Ayers has been uncon-
scious since the shooting.
