REAL SUFFERING.

We think We suffer when crops are
short, but Judging from reports from
Russia our hardships are but mere
inconvenience in comparison.
Not only were the crops short in
Russia last year. but everything else
green was literally burned out. The
famine this year is much worse than
that of 1906. Grass fodder so utter
ly failed to materialize that the peas
ants have been forced to dispose of
all their horses and cattle
Now they are living on "a mixture
of flour, acorns, bran, weeds and the
bark of trees ground to POWDER" ac-
cOrding to one Russian writer. THE
result is illness with innumerable
Deaths" this man continues. what
will happen towards spring God only
knows."
An American who has experienced
poor crops can best realize how much
better off he is than the Russian
peasant when he is told that the way
people are now living over there
$1.50 will pay for a hundred meals.

THE LOYALTY OF PROFESSORS,

THE LOYALTY OF PROFESSORS.
There are men in the faculty of
the University of Missouri who might
now be drawing larger salaries at
more prominent schools. There are
not one or two, but many, perhaps
a score of them. Their names are
not mentioned here because they are
not men who delight in nOtOriety,
but every upper classman knows of
such instances and every alumnus
could probably name not less than
five or six.
We had one notable instance of
such self sacrifice not long ago.
There have been numerous others
where the call has not been so pub
lie nor so insistent and consequently
the refusals not widely published, if
at all.
One such man. now dead, has been
remembered by the donation of
handsome portrait to the University.
So long as the picture of DIR. Paul
Schweitzer hangs on the walls of the

versity. younger in years of service
than he was at death. but no less
cOnsecrated to the work of serving
the state and the school.
Educators have often wondered at
the ability and standing of the Uni
versity of Missouri faculty despite
the low salaries paid. There is many

MAYORS COMMITTEE
TO PLAN A FITTING
TITANIC MEMORIAL
Mr.. Gaynor Will Name Thirty
Leading Citizens to Re-
ceive Suggestions.

Following a conference had by Mayor
Gaynor to-day with 1--WE distinguished
citizens, announcement was made that
the Mayor will name q committee Of
thirty. with power to Ike recommen-
dations as to the form TO he taken by
the great Titanic memorial, advocated
by The World.
Joseph Fl. Choate. Rabbi Joseph Sill
vernan. the Right Rev. David II. Greer,
Henry Clews and DIR. John II. Finley,
President Of the College OF the City OF
New York. attended the conference. 1t
Is probable that all 1--WE will be members
OF the committee. Former Comptroller
Herman A. Metz. who happened to be
In the Mayors ONCE shortly afterward,
was promptly named as one Of the COM
mittee. Ralph Pulitzer. Samuel Inter
myer, Robert w. De Forest, DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler and Henry L.
Towne were unable to attend to-day.
When the meeting opened Bishop
Greer suggested that the form Of the
memorial should be artistic rather than
q commercial one. and said that he
some great monument TO the Tttanic's
dead-a statue. perhaps. rather than a
school or public building.
Mr.. Choate suggested the appointment
Of the Committee OF Thirty. In which
all present. including the Mayor. fully
concWred. 1t is likely that the full
committee. when appointed. will meet
next week and may plan a great me-
mortal meeting to further the move-
ment for a more substantial tribute.
Effort will be made to get President
Taft to attend IL such meeting Is
held.
Among the many suggestion as to
the form which the memorial TO the
Titanic's victims might take that have
been received ut the Mayors Office, is
one from G. l.. Riker OF this city, that
the memorial erected be In the form
Of a light house. Mr.. Riker believes
that the lighthouse should be located
at some perilous point on the coast,
Illuminated by most powerful light
and with great fog horn that may
