THE CAMPAIGN OF 1912.

Looking at the campaign of 1912
these months ahead, indications are
that the struggle between the DEM
ocratic and Republican parties will
be a memorable one For the first
time since 1896. the Democratic
leaders admit that there is to be
more to the contest than a nominat-
ing convention and a prefunctory
campaign
Eight short years ago, following
the triumphant election of Theodore
Roosevelt and Republican Con-
gress. prophecies We're made that the
Democratic party could never come
back" Several prominent Demo-
Gratis went on record as expressing
this belief and many Republicans
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-01-24
also thought so. By 1908 the Demo-

also thought so. By 1908 the Demo-
Gratis had shown signs of returning
power and in 1910 made such gains
that they are entering the 1912 cam
paign with renewed hope.
June Is the Republican party will
hold its national convention. June
%. just seven days later, the Demo-
Gratis will meet. Interest in these
events is dOubly increased by the
fact that in each party there is a
struggle between the radical and con-
rvative elements. With the won
derful growth of an independent
spirit in American politics, added
importance centers on the principles
that will prevail in these cOnven-
tions and become written into the
party platforms. Should either con-
vention err seriously, the result is
sure to be reflected in the November
election.
1t is a time when radical and con-
must come together and
settle upon a policy that shall be
and at the same time
safe and sane" ANY policy, to
win, must be satisfactory and helpful
to both the producer and the ulti-
mate consumer. The party that
strikes this happy medium will be
The party that fails will
have lost an advantage that may take
years to regain.

81 Remember" I"

Il don't exactly remember these
things that happened in the year
1S49, but | have heard my father
speak of them" said f. w. Stephens.
Two things happened in 1S49 that
are pretty well remembered. 1t was
in this year that gold was discovered
in California. Then a, tremendous
sleet that winter destroyed thOus-
ands and thousands of acres of for
ests. Another thing happened that
was of great deal of importance to
me; | was born, but as | have said,
| do not remember these things ex-
cept as have heard my father speak
of them"

L'ENN'OI

You who have lived in the Land,
You who have trusted the trail;
You who are strong to withstand.
You who are swift to assail;
Songs have sung to begule,
Vintage of desperate years
Hard as a harlot's smile.
Bitter as unShed tears.
Little of joy or mirth,
Little of ease | sing:
Sagas of men of earth.
Humanity suffering,
Such as you all have done;
Sayagely faring forth,
Sons of the midnight sun.
ArgOnauts of the North.
Far in the land God forgot
Climmers the lure of your trail;
Still in your lust are you taught
Even to win is to fail.
Still must you follow and fight
Under the vampire wing;
There in the long, long night
Hoping and vanquishing.
of the Wild.
Reaping a barren grain;
ScOurged by desire, recOnciled
Unto disaster and pain:
These my songs are for you,
You who are scared with the
brand;
God knows have tried to be true;
Please God yOu will understand.

The Newest Books
Descriptive Writing.

Much that has been written about
writing might be summed up in the
hard-headed maxim of the average
working author: ITO learn how to
write, write" But it is just as true
that the path of the student-and
who that writes is not always a stu
dent?-can be made easier by the in
culcatiOn of correct fundamental
principles. A study of Descriptive
Writing by Evelyn May Albright,
assistant professor of English in
Ohio Wesleyan University, cannot
but prove helpful to anyone interest
ed in the technical side of English
composition. AS the writer justly
observes, preparation for descrip-
tive writing is. very simply, the hab-
it of clear seeing and right feeling"
such, it might be added, is the pre-
paratiOn for journalism also. The
treatment of the subject is clear,
concise and logical, dealing with the
gathering of the materials for des-
criptiOn, methods of organizing
those materials to get the desired
results, and the relation of descrip-
tion to narration. Part III consists
of well-chosen examples of the va
rious kinds of description, from the
works of the recognized masters. 1t
is gratifying. to the reader who be-

WEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

John d. Rockefeller has $780,
OO,OOO," said Colonel William C.
Hunter, but have $4,000, 900 in
the bank of happiness, and Mr..
ROckefeller's millions can't buy one
hour of it,
1t is too bad that Colonel Hunter
ne0atived that inspiring remark
when he said later to the students
in the School of Journalism
Don't be a reporter. The work is
thankless and it won't pay a big
salary
We think Colonel Hunter meant
to say that the life of a reporter is
exacting. When his eyes grow dim
and he loses one bit of alertness the
reporter must be pushed aside. The
call is relentless. But there is no
iiS hoiC ioSSiudtlu6, uOle ludl CdllS
for finer courage. The reporters
hand is on the pulse of the world;
he knows the joy of creation; of
large service to mankind; he may
expect a sufficient income to live
comfortably, and large pay in the
currency of happiness which the
man whose aim is mOney-making
cannot know. He may reasonably
expect better things up higher.
The reporters life is a large life,
and his pay much more than the
gold he receives

What the Old Grads Sd1o
Five Years Ago.

The Wabash restored its Sunday

time without them.
Governor Folk recommended in his

the general fund and also the war
claim of $465,OOO.
Columbia gas was reduced from

HIGH SCHOOL FRATERNITIES.

Fraternities and sorOrities in high
schools have been meeting with re-
peated setbacks. They have recent
ly been barred from the schools of
Los Angeles, and the same result
has practically been accomplished in
New York. Many towns in Massa-
chusetts, Kentucky, Minnesota,
Washington and other states have re-
fused to recognize them.
FraternitieS originated in the
larger colleges. In boarding schools
and universities where students come
from a distance they serve a purpose.
They not only perform social duties
but also provide a substitute for

in ordinary boarding houses.
Little excuse, however, exists for
the formation OF Greek letter SOcle-
ties in lower schools. Few students
do not live at home. The stimulus
to the social life is not needed, and
as matter of fact, is not desirable
when coupled with the ordinary So

Poetry of Robert w. Service

Poetry, We are told, is without a
doubt in bad way. So also are pO-
cts. There are those who account
for the poets poverty by saying that
poetry is too high brOwed Some, too,
have the idea that the saying 1.-The
more you put into it the more you
get out of it, is as true of poetry as
of baking. They mean that most of
our poetry is so subtle that only the
juggler. whose sleight-Of-mind de-
ceives the understanding, can inter-
pret enough meaning into it to make
us believe that there is anything to
be got out of it. These arguments
are, perhaps. both base and baseless
Nevertheless, when poet is seen
who has never had to cheat his bar
ber in order to remain at his prOfe-
sion. his work deserves some special
consideration.
Robert w. Service, variOusly
known as 1.-The Canadian Kipling"
and the poet of the Yukon" has
made poetry pay. Here is one of his
little volumes that has, as he himself
would say, gone through God only
knows how many editions" He and
his publisher must have lost count
long ago. At any rate, his two VOL
about the last six years. They have
sold from end to end OF the British
dominions. And what kind of poe
try does he write?
Services verse is mans verse. 1t |
takes no Juggling to arrive at his !
His meaning is startlingly |
clear. 1t slaps one in the face. A |
turn through the pages of some of |
his work will best show the out
standing features of his verse.
Service caught the spirit of the
Yukon and the harsh struggle there
for existence. The Yukon is the
lone land, the great white land
where:
oh, it was wild and weird and wan
and ever in camp O. nights
We would watch and watch the
silver dance of the mystic
Northern Lights
The Yukon is the land which
'alls for men, strong for the red
'age of battle but the others :
he misfits, the failures :
hey are trampled under foot. The
Yukon has, though, spell all it's
OWN: Its the cussedest land that
know" and:
Some say God was tired when he d.
made it; :.
Some say it's fine land to shun;
Iaybe: but there's some as would .
trade it
For no land on earth-and I'm
one
The sincere profanity" as some
me has styled it, of the foregoing
ines runs runs throughout the pO-
try. The poetry is cOllOquial and n
t times bit brutal For example,
he Lone Trail sometimes leads to
he NOrthland:
and the scurvy softens your
bones,
md your flesh dintS in like putty,

and you spit out your teeth

The profanity of the poetry is from
the stock-in-trade of all who have
stock. Its very naturalness is con-
!vincing. Sam McGee from the cot
ton country could not stand the
north:
He was always cold, but the land
of gold seemed to hold him
like a spell;
Though he'd often say in his homely
way that he'd sooner live in
hell"
Then Service has caught the pop
ular philosophy of the mining town.
1t is rebellion against the shams of
society:
Il am sick to death of your we'll
groOmed gods. your make
believe and your show"
His poetry. too. is saturated with the
doctrine of evolution as now accept
ed by the plain man. In
that saturatiOn he has, no doubt,
struck popular note.
In addition to the convincing To-
cal cOlOring of his poetry, its
strength, and its popular philOsO-
ply, Service has a happy knack of
