JAPAN-A MILITARY NATION.

The japanese House of Represen-
tatives passed the budget a few days
ago, in which $46.725,315 is devoted
to preparation for war and $46.31S,-
655.50 to the navy. while only So
249.2S0 is for education and $S,Ol7,-
465 for commerce and agriculture.
.Iapan's reputation depends upon
her military genius. and she plans to
maintain it and make herself still
more famous by enhancement of ar
my and navy. But Japan pays little
attention to economic conditions at
home Her people can hardly stand
the burden of heavy taxes; she has
not paid up all the foreign loans made
during the japanese War; many in
ternational reforms are needed.
Japan has not yet realized that the
age of militarism has passed.

Viewpoints
Defends the Band.

Editor the MissOurian: H. NJ. c."
asked recently through the viewpoint
where was the band?" His griev-
ance seems to be that during the few
weeks the ground was covered with
snow and the weather 20 degrees be-
low his steps were not measured by
the rhythm of band music as he
walked through the Quad"
He also mentioned that the band
had not been present at the basket
ball games as advertised. The band
id not authorize any such advertise
ment. But anyway he thinks we
ought to have been there. 1t is not
always possible for all the A. MEM
bers of the band to attend a basket
ball game Did Fl. NJ c." attend
them all? And if the band goes
without its full membership the show
ing is poor. and is widely commented
on.
But we will be at the Kansas
games and We will be at the Wash
ingtOn Birthday exercises and at the
A-Club Carnival. paying $50 for the
privilege. and that furthermore We
shall give a concert March Plat
which we hope the whereabouts of
the band is firmly established.
The members of the band are stu
dents at work developing particu-
lar phase of their mental makeup.
AS an organization We have ambi-
tions of attaining some success and
popularity, and of filling a place in
the life of the student. Consider
able time and effort is thereby sac
rificed.
incidentally, does one wonder that
we have been staying under cover
and working hard at our concert
when only seventy-five bought tickets
to it last year? The band cannot
furnish amusement for student
body, root for it, and at the same
time continue to progress toward
what good band should be.

The Story the Columns Told

| LathrOp. who was president of the
University when We first came here.
THE presidents house that stands
east of us was erected in 1868. Ii
cost the state $4,000. You remem-
Der. DR.. Daniel Read was president of
the University at the time it was
built. 1t was from him that Read
Hall. the dormitOry for University
women. got its name.
Here's an account in the records
of the erection of an old. old build
ing. 1t wasn't intended for a news
writers factory when it was finished
in 1872. 1t was put up plain, but it
cost $4,000 to build it and it was
given a high sounding name. 1t was
called the Scientific Building Stu
dents could go there and get almost
any course of study that they wished
Chemistry, mathematics. the natural
sciences and the like were taught
there. Assuredly the old building has
served good purpose in its time and
the people of Boone county and CO.
lumbia who helped build it have new
er regretted what they did. They
first intended to make it a home for
an agricultural college and many
other towns tried to take the college
from them. They began calling it
the Agricultural Building in the early
nineties and then when the School
of Journalism was moved in there it
took the name of Switzler Hall.
Now. brothers, come to a sad
part in the records. 1t it the account
of the burning of the old building

them had removed the queer head

the fire they put us out here in a

THE LETTER OF THE LAW.

Magazines, newspapers and public
speakers of recent years and particu-
larly the past few months have waged
a strenuous campaign for simplfica-
ton of our laws. 1t is indeed a sad
state of affairs when our legal ma
chinery gets so hOpelessly clOgged
that justice is delayed until its ad-
vantages are impaired or lost. 1t is
still more deplorable that trivial mis-
takes in grammar or deviations from
unessential forms sometimes thwart
justice entirely. But there is another
side of the question that must not be
overlooked in the heat of our reform
passion.
The basic principle of republican
form of government is the rule of law
rather than men. Our executive de-
partment of the government was
founded as a law-enfOrcing branch.
Our judiciary was founded as law
interpreting branch. The legislative
department of the government, the
branch most directly responsible to
the people, is vested with law-making
powers but even our lawmakers are
under restrictions. They are bound
by the constitution and to an extent
by past laws. for two-thirds majority
is required to repeal many of our
laws. In criticising judges for their
strict Interpretation of the laws we
should not be too harsh, for judges
are not entitled to take liberties with
the law.
Any reform of our legal procedure
should take these facts into consider
alton. Judge Lawson voices the right
sentiment when he pleads for SIM
plification of the laws. To invite
judges to disregard the letter of the
law and to render decision according
to their own standards of right and

FOR BOOK FARMERS.

MILLIONS FOR BOOK FARMERS.
The New York State Agricultural
Board, which was created by the leg
islature of 1911. favors larger ap-
preparations for agricultural educa-
tion. An appropriation is recommend
ed for leach union or high school
teaching a class of not less than ten
in agriculture, and for each common
school district giving an approved
course in nature study
Federal direction of agricultural
education is opposed because the
autonomy of the states should be
preserved"
Appropriations aggregating nearly
$12,OOO,OOO a year for agricultural
education are pending in Congress,
Consequently the report will excite
comment.
The board does not reject Federal
aid, but it is opposed to ''bureaucrat-
ic regulations" insisting that each
state should handle it's own funds,
together with any money granted by
the Washington government for agri-
cultural education.
How far" it is asked docs the
New York board represent the feeling
of farmers throughout the country"

THE PASSING OF THE

One of the results of the develop

IN his book of reminisc enCes. FIFTY
Years in Theatrical Management. Is
the disappearance of the talking

Following, and his friends in each
city welcomed him just as warmly
on each recurring season as the pat
rons of vaudeville now greet their
tavorlte comedians, singers and dan
GERS.
The old clown was a man of in
mite Jest, and his quips were a great
part OF the performance. But he was
eliminated from the circus by the
coming of the enormous tent and the
three rings. for in the vast spaces
now given over to the show he could
not be heard and his wit would be
wasted. He has been succeeded by
a multitude of broad pantomime and
burlesque artists who depend upon
amusing makeup or eccentric acts to
to get the laughs. Wit and repartee
thus have been succeeded by the slap
stick and horse-play. Some of the
great circuses-great not in size but
in the quality of their offerings-in
the COS and '7Os, according to Mr..
Leayitt. had "galaxies" of clowns
who competed with each other in
their witty sallies.
Mr.. Leayitt himself, among his
amazing activities during his so
years in the amusement field, was
once clown, being a popular feature
of the Whittemore & Thompson New
England circus in 1865.

CHAMP CLARK NEVER,

Who HELPED HIM WIN
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
St Charles, Mo-, March "a pref
ty story of devotion and gratitude
that centers about Speaker Champ
Clark, has just come to light in this
town by the death of Miss Fannie
Hopkins, one of the best known wom-
en- in st. Charles. Twenty-Five years
ago, when Mr.. Clark was first nomi-
mated for congress, he made a speech
in the little French village of Por-
tage des Sioux on the Missouri river.
Miss Hopkins was then resident
of that place, which had only 100
inhabitants. She heard Mr.. Clark's
speech, and became his ardent ad-
mirer. Clark was defeated in that
campaign, but two years later he
again became the nominee. Miss
Hopkins thereupon set to work to
make votes for him, and it is said
she had as much to do with Mr..
Clark's carrying that town as any
one. Ever since then she has been
working for Mr.. Clark for President.
Some weeks ago the speaker learned
that the old lady was i'll. and he
wrote her the following letter:
January 10th, 1912.
Miss Fannie Hopkins, Saint Charles,
Missouri:
My Dear Miss Fannie am
very sorry, indeed, to hear of your
illness, and hope that you will soon
recover your health. You know that
| have always rejoiced that you
were one of my old guard" 1t is
easy for me to have friends now, but
you stood by me like thoroughbred
when ! didn't have many friends, and
when / needed them very much in
deed and after all is said and done,
the old friends are the best friends.
"Of course, | am proud of the
great army of friends which / now
have, but the new ones. no matter
how numerous, or how high up they
are, can never crowd out of my mem
DRY and my heart those who have
been so faithful for so many years.
IF there is anything that | can
do to contribute to your comfort or
your happiness, let me know.
"Goodby, and God bless you
Your friend.
CHAMP CLARK"
The day after Miss Hopkins re-
ceived this letter, she died, but just
before death claimed her she was

gratitude of the man who was her

STARTLING FIGURES AS TO
EXPECTATION OF EGGS

Exploration of eggs from the Unit
ed states last year, Notwithstanding
high prices, was the largest ever re-
corded. While current market re-
ports and current decisions of the
cost of living indicate unusually high
prices in the domestic markets for
this article of consumption and COM
merce, the bureau of statistics is re-
porting larger expectation in this
line than ever before. The number
of eggs sent to foreign countries in
the year ending with December, 1911,
was 10 a million dozen, valued at
2 q million dollars, while the high
est record OF any earlier calendar
year was s "a million dozen, valued
At y million dollars in 1907. In
addition to this, there were sent to
Hawaii and Porto Rico about 15O,-
600 dozen. Meantime the importa-
tion of eggs in 1871 amounted to less
than l million dozen, valued at about
$4,000.
Trade currents in this article OF
commerce have shown a remarkable
change in recent years. Formerly
the Importation of eggs was large
and the expectation small. A quar-
ter of century ago an Importation
usual, the imports OF 1884, 1885 and
1886 having in each year exceeded
1 6 million dozen, while the exports
at that time averaged but about "a
million dozen annually. Last year
the imports were less than million
dozen, while the exports, as above
Indicated. were 49, million dozen.
The reduction in the Importation of
eggs occurred Immediately following
the enactment of the tariff law OF
1890 which placed duty upon that
article of commerce, and the imports
of eggs, which had ranged as high
as l6 million dozen per annum, eX-
ceeding . million dozen in the fiscal
year of 1890, dropped to million
dozen in 1892, l y million dozen in
1894, less than | million dozen in
1896 and a quarter of million in
1899, since which time the number
| seldom exceeded 800, 900 dozen un-
til 1910, when the number imported
| increased to over 100000 dozen and
in 1911 to y million dozen. In the
calendar year of 1911, as above in
dicated, the total was slightly less
than 1 million. On the export side,
the number sent out of the country
was, in the calendar year 1880, but
$4,000 dozen; in 1890, 100000 doz-
en-; in 1897, l " million dozen; in
1900, practically 6 million dozen; in
1907, million dozen, and in the cal
endar year 1911, as already indicat-
ed 10 u million dozen, valued at $2,-
1000
Cuba, Canada, Panama and Mex
leo are the chief countries to which
eggs are exported from the United
States.
