! Experience is a dear teacher but
fools will have no other" according
to Benjamin Franklin. But Franklin
now represents figure in ancient
history of the United States. Times
have changed. The wise today pre-
fer to pay cash in advance for eX-
perience and to get reduced rates.
Practice court in the School of
Law at the University of Missouri is
one of these methods of getting eX-
perience before high price for it is de-
manded by the public. While the
old graduates of this same school are
fighting successful legal battles in
the courts of every state. after having
been through the school of eXper-
fence outside of the University cam
pus. the younger generation of SEN
iOr class students are fighting SINH
lar battles in the class roOm A
small field Of action, true, but it is
a practical way of having theory put
into practice. Ii is one of the most
practical laboratories at the Uni
versity.
This law school labOratory-m
iature court room, if you please
was founded here in 1903 by Prof.
Edward W. Hinton when he became
a member of the law faculty. The
judge, usually the founder but at
times some student. gives the orders
of the court, whips the legal pro-
cedure of the students into court
room bounds and hands down decis-
ions, just as in any circuit court. The
lawyers have practical cases before
them. They give and receive hard
knocks in preparation for coping
with the tricks OF veterans in the
life-sized courts. The practice helps
them TO overcome the stage fright
common in many first cases.
Twice a week, Tuesdays and
Thursdays, the University seniors as

In q Mimic Court

semble in the class room for the
session of practice court. The dock
ct has been made up by Professor
Hinton, so that the attorneys have
had ample time To go into every
side of the case. Both sides have
been given the general statement
and have been made to understand
tn, possibilities. When counsel for
defense faces the judge he has al
ready become acq ainted with things
that he can prove. Counsel for the
plaintiff knows what he can and
should prove.
County, appellate and supreme
courts furnish a great deal of mater
ial upon which the students work.
Names and some minor points are
changed. of course. In this way the
students get chance to try cases
such as they are likely to meet in
actual practice.
Cases involving points of negli-
gence are often heard. For instance.
large pole was set in sidewalk. A
pedestrian had crashed into this pole
at night and had suffered the break
age of few ribs. Now the problem
which comes up to the student court
is whether or not the town can be
held responsible for the damages or
whether the victim will have to bear
the whole burden.
Every senior student in the School
of Law has his case to try. The
docket is followed as in the regular
court The miniature court con-
venes at the appointed hour, p. III.
The adjournment comes with the end
of the case. after the questions of
pleaGings and practice have been put
in such way that his honor" is will
ing to dispose of the trial. Fifty-siX
men are getting this chance of
threshing out the problems of plead
ing and practice. R. B. NJ.

the Fasteners had supposed, but
they were really white like them
selves. wore clothes and lived in

Finally the zone for jests moved
west and Kansas and Missouri came
in for a little more than their share
of the ill-timed jokes at their eX-
pense Next the South became the
joke center and people of other re-
gions try to be funny at the expense
of the Southerners and especially at
that of Arkansas. This has been
carried to the extent that one or two
writer's got out some books about the
state which to these writer's We're
doubtless very funny.
The people of Arkansas appreciate
a good joke when when they hear
one. This may be the reason why
they sometimes carry cards engraved,
Il am from Arkansas: now Durn

This is known and
acknowledged by the people living
there. But on the other hand. the
people of that region have many OBJ
stacles to overcome. However, if
there is anything in statistics, the
South is moving forward at re-
markable rate At the pace she is
now setting she will soon Overtake
and, it is to be hoped, Outstrip the
states that try to be funny in a way
that is really detrimental to South
ern progress.

that Tennessee was corn producing
state, and were astonished at the
great yield and the many fine varie-
ties, and the fact that the Tennes-
see farmer does not have to depend
on any one crop is great argument
in favor of immigration to the state.
All indications point to grea5 de-
yelopment of the South during the
next decade, and those familiar with
the South and it's resources knows
that Tennessee offers greater advan-
tages THAI any other Southern state,
and believe that for the next few
years that state will get the larger
part of the immigration from the
states of the North and Middle West.

exhibit sent out by Commissioned T.

ton, are being made acquainted with
the great opportunities Tennessee Of

will not be out Of place to cover the
ground again, because the subject OF
fertilization is one of the foundation

fact if this one point is lost sight OF,
all others fail and yet l am sorry to
say it is subject very little under

FREEPORT, H., March "a. no
Joint visited by the exhibit OF the
tennessee bureau of immigration has
attracted more attention and ia
vorable comment than at this city
Of Nolthein Illinois, OF great manu-
featuring establishments and sur
rounded by e splendid farming coun-
try. Freeport has about 10000 ropu-
lation the Germans predominating. !
It is said that the largest carriage
factory in the country is located here,
us well as the largest windmill fac
tory. More than 5000 people are en-
ployed in the manufacturing estab-
lishments. This is division head
quarters of the Illinions Central rail-
road, which has shops here employ
ing several hundred men.
Freepoft is noted as being the
scene of the second joint debate be-
tween Abraham Lincoln and Stephen
A. Douglas, and the spot where the
debate was held is marked by large
boulder with a bronze tablet 1t was
the home of Charles ]. Guiteau, the
assassin of President Garfield, and
Guiteau's relatives live here now, his
half brother being in business here
and good citizen. Freeport was
also the home of Jane Adams, of
Chicago.
On the morning of March l the
thermometer registered 10 degrees
below zero, all of which is fine ar
gument for the men in charge of the
Tennessee exhibit, who are urging
immigration to that state. The news
papers of Freeport have been very
nice in then comments on the exhib-
It, which has been seen by large
number Of people. A great many
wealthy retired farmers who have
money invested in lands in the DaS
tas and Canada and in the South west
are becoming interested in the lands
! III Tennessee and several of them are
going to that state to look over the
prospects for profitable investments.
, They have made their money off the
increase in the value of land in this
section and have belief that lands
everywhere are going to increase in
value. The cheap price at which
good lands can be had in Tennessee
at this time is attracting them.
A large number of renters and 9th
ers who have accumulated some mon
oy have been to the Tennessee exhib-
it, and say they are going to the state
and see what are the opportunities
there for the homeseeker.
All the literature carried by the ex-
hibit mas been widely distributed and
read. A new supply of literature is
received at each place visited by the
exhibit, and it is placed in the hands
% people who will read it.
