WOMAN on THE FARM.

Strange as it may seem, a great
boost for the country is apparently
coming from the city. According to
Edison, the increased use of electric
ity in the home will change and
tighten woman's work surprisingly in
the future.
While of course the city dweller
will profit from this. still it is the
country, or parts of it where the lot
of woman is a comparatively hard
one, that the greatest benefit will be
seen. If this works out as he says
it will, it undoubtedly will tend to
make farm life more attractive, and
in connection with other populariping
movements will help to keep a larger
and better class of persons on the
farms of the country.

Real Directory.

Editor the Missourian: A real STU
dent directory is something more
than a list of students and their Col
umbia addresses. The real purpose
of a directory is convenience. TO
hunt up a students name in the STU
dent directory and then in the tele-
phone directory is almost as conven-
lent as going over to his house and
asking him what his telephone num-
ber is.
A real student directory should
contain a list of students with their
Columbia addresses and phone num-
bers, home addresses and classifica-
ton in the University. In the back
of the book should be list of all Uni
versity organizations and their off,
GERS. The rules and regulations OF

CLEAN LANGUAGE LEAGUE.

The Clean Language League of
America has recently been organized.
The officers of this society say that
they intend to strike at what is be-
coming a national disgrace. They
will try to check improper speech.
Most states have laws against the use
of profane or obscene language in
public places. The society stands for
the enforcement Of these laws.
This society has declared against
the public singing of ribald and sug-
gestive songs. II this new organiza-
ton can do anything effective in this
direction toward driving out low and
cheap ragtime it will do one great
work at least.
Many popular songs are made up of
incoherent nonsense and broad sug-
gestiveness. If this so-called music
be kept out there is a possibility that
real music may be heard and appre-
ciated.

TURKISH NEED.

Lack of modern equipment for the
artillery division of the Turkish army
is cited as one of the contributing
causes of recent decisive Balkan vic
tories. Another and very important
defect in the makeup of the Ottoman
army is found in it's poorly managed
and inefficient commissariat.
Men who engage in warfare need
the most nourishing food prepared in
a cleanly way. Rigorous marches,
hard labor and the brunt of battle
are things soldiers have to contend
with. To attain their highest stand
ard of efficiency they must be we'll
fed. The same is true for the man
engaged in the activities of civilian
life.
Columbia has quite number of
capable commssaries who manage to
place palatable food before satisfied
University of Missouri students.
Maybe there's one here who could
successfully rehabilitate the famished
Turkish army, rescue it from the
ennui into which it has fallen and
feed" it back into fighting form.
Here's a chance for a man with abil-
ity as a commissary to do for the
Turkish army's inefficient commissar-
lat what Morgan Shuster, a bright
young American, did for Persia's dis
organized financial department. How
ever, its probable there would not be
such a paucity of volunteers if the
service were to be rendered the side
of the Christian fighters.

suffrage won in four out of the hve.
The franchise was granted to the
women in Kansas, Arizona, Michigan
and Oregon in the election last week.
This is by far the greatest victory
suffrage has ever won.
1t seems as if a complete victory
for women suffrage is not far away
1t is possible that every political
party will have a woman suffrage
nlank in its platform in the next pres
idential election One thing is GER
tain, women will hold the balance OF
power in the West when election
time comes again.

ARE YOU THANKFUL!

Two days after the national elec-
ton at which he was defeated for
reelection, President Taft issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation.
He invites his countrymen, where
ever they may be, to join on Thurs
day, November 2S, in appropriate
ascription of thanks and praise to
God for the good gifts that have been
our portion, and in humble prayer
that His great mercies toward us
NAV endure. President Taft also re-
minds us of the abundant harvests
and crops and of the fact that peace
within and without has been our
blessing.
Aside from the general blessings
that all have shared, are many indi-
vidual blessings that each person
should be thankful for. 1t matters
not how unfortunate one may have
been. there are always blessings that
he should remember and in return
give thanks to the Almighty.
It is fitting that We set aside one
day in a year to return unto Him oul
thanks.

WOMEN AND POLITICS.

The influence of women in the
Presidential campaign just past was
greater than in any previous election.
Each national headquarters had an
organized bureau to appeal to women
workers, presided over by women
well known in public and social life.
In six Western states women voted
and their ballots played an important
part in the result of the election. In
five other states the right of women
to vote was an issue at the polls, and

BY J. ED aR1LLo.

Fourteen hits in two days is the re-
day he made seven hits in double
in the two games yesterday, when he
made two home runs, triple and four
singles.
According to Philadelphia critics. how
ever. Cobb is batting illegally. Having
nothing else to offer to excuse the, -Ath-
letics for their defeats, the charge is
made that the Detroit batters are violat-
ing the batting rules by the critics and
Connie Mack.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, in speaking
of Cobb's feat, says:
In reality. Tyrus made but one hit
yesterday, that being his home run off
Pitcher Pennock In the ninth inning of
the opening game, and he was legally
out every other time he faced the pitcher,
save the time when he was given a walk
in the eighth inning of the second game
because he stepped OGt of the batsman s
box to hit the ball.
Despite the illegal batting, Manager
Mack refuses to register any kick, say
ing:
- have noticed It, and this thing has
been called to my attention by others
who have noticed it: but since the ejec-
ti0n of Murphy for raising a protest
against this foul method of batting in
the opening game about the only thing
that ! can see for US to do is to sit quiet
and take our medicine so long as Silk
lOLoughlin is sent here to umpire the
games. There never has been a game
protested in the American League and
don't want to be the first to start the
practice. 1 was in hopes we would only
have to stand for OLoughlin for a few
games. but he has umpired twenty-seven
games here so far this season. and it
looks as though they were going to feed
him to us a plenty.
Section Of rule II on page 592 OF
Reach's Official American League Guide,
specifically states that the batsman is
out If he hit the ball illegally as de-
fined in rule so and following Is the
exact wording Of rule 80:
AN illegally batted ball is ball batted
by the batsman when either. or both of
his feet are upon the ground outside the
lines of the batsman's position.
1t is not at all surprising that howl
is going up over the work of the Ameri-
can League umpires this season., The
staff seems to have seriously deterio-
