WHEN YOU GO HOME, WHAT7

Few University students realize
what they owe to the University and
the state for giving them an oppor-
tunity to get an education. If the
hundreds of thousands of dollars that
the University costs each year had to
be paid by the students, many of these
students would not be here.
The Christmas holidays afford an
excellent time to pay this debt in
part. The University must continu-
ally grow in order to live up to its
greatest opportunities. And in the
matter of getting students the word
of a friend beats any bulletin ever
issued. Go out to your old high
school, talk to the seniors about Col
umbia, tell them what the school here
has done for you. You will be help
ing them, yourself and the Univer-
sity OF Missouri.

THE PAROLE SYSTEM.

Since 1898 more than 1000 convicts
have been paroled from California
penitentiaries. OF these, s. per cent
have made good"-only 249 out of
the whole number violating the con-
ditions of their parole. OF the 249
violators, 153 were returned to prison,
but only % of them had committed
new crimes. This is fraction more
than 1 per cent of the total number
paroled.
The report from which these fig
ures are taken shows that paroled
prisoners have earned more than
$1,000, 900, and out Of their earnings
have saved more than 100000. In
recent typical month, out of 465 men
on parole, not one was idle. Their
aggregate earnings for that month
were almost $4,000.
There has been much criticism OF
the operation of the parole system in
Missouri, but the foregoing figures
show the incredible folly of keeping
under lock and key great many men
who would make good citizens, earn
a living and help support those de-
pendent upon them, if they were
given a chance. The parole system
is not only humane and just, but eco
nomical for the state. If it were used
even more extensively in Missouri it
might solve the congestion problem
in our penitentiary today.

mand of General Butler and Admiral
Porter.

the Alps mountains, connecting the
towns of Savoy and Piedmont, was
completed by the French and Italian
governments.
1879-Telegraphic connection was
completed between the Cape of Good
Hope and Great Britain.
'1884-An earthquake destroyed
Albania, a city Of Granada in Spain.

CHURCH AND SOCIAL REFORM.

A broad platform, representing the
broad views of broad-minded. pur-
poseful men, is that adopted by the
federal council of churches at its
quadriennial meeting in Chicago.
Here are some Of the planks:
For equal rights and complete JUS
tice for all men in all stations of life.
For the protection of the family by
the single standard of purity, uni
form divorce laws, proper regulation
of marriage and proper housing.
For the fullest possible develop
ment of every child, especially by the
provision of proper education and
recreation.
For the abatement and prevention
Of poverty.
For the protection of the individual
and society from the social, economic
and moral waste of the liquor traffic.
For suitable provision for the old
age of the workers and for those in
capacitated by injury.
For a release from employment one
day in seven.
For a living wage as minimum in
every industry. and for the highest
wage that each industry can afford.
For the most equitable division Of
the product of industry that can ulti-
mately be devised.
Each one of the foregoing princf-
ples for which this council Of church
es declares is sufficient subject mat
ter for a strong editorial. But dis
cussions and theories are not wanted.
Practice and action are desired.
The churches. united. have firmly
established themselves as a militant

A public remark Sunday that the
gospel is not preached - II should
he. caused quite q sensation to the
hearers. The speaker added that
our church people are going to the
bad without realizing II. But II
seems the truth, regardless OF
whether It is realized or not. The
preachers are not to blams en-
tirely for not telling the whole
truth an they are not expected to
do 30. Most church members are
more concerned about who shall
occupy the places OF honor than
who shall be saved; the members
expect bouquets thrown at them
constantly instead OF being told
that they are a stumbling block
rather than an inspiration to their
fellows under present conditions.
