CID GUARD BEHIND TIGERS
Permanent Organization Of RoOters Is
Planned at University.

Planned at University.
A movement was started Friday
night at the students mass meeting
to form an organized body to be the
official roofing club. The name of the
organization will be the Old Guard.
"The poor showing that the Fight
ing Five Hundred a temporary or
ganization from Kansas, made at the
Thanksgiving game last year is proof
enough that Missouri needs a perma-
nent organized body of rooters," said
E. l.. Breckner, president of the stu
dent body.
The Old Guard will be permanent
organization whose duty will be to
fight for the Tigers. This is the first
permanent organized rooters club that
has ever been established in the Uni
versity. 1t is the idea of Mr.. Brock
ner. He intends to give every student
a chance to fight for his school.
Buttons will be sold to those who
wish to be members of the new organ
ization. These buttons will be han
died through Mr.. Breckner. They will
be sold for ten cents each and no one
will be given commission for selling
them. Mr.. Breckner said that the
buttons will be here by Friday and
he intends that every student shall
have one before the Ames game next
Saturday. This will be the first meet
ing of the Old Guard
The money that comes from the sale
of the buttons will be used for COW
ering the expenses of the mass meet
ings and to send the members of the
band to Kansas. There will be no
other buttons this year. The Old
Guard button will be the official but
ton of the rooters.
The plan has the Enforcement of

nan. yell leader. The committee has
decided that the Old Guard will use
the north bleachers. This will be for
men alone so they can be close to-
gether and the yell leaders can devote
their entire attention to the men as
a body.
At Lawrence a special section will
be reserved for the Old Guard. 1t is
the plan of Mr.. Breckner to have spe-
cial cars for the club on the trip to
Lawrence. These will bear large
banners, he thinks, will do much to
advertise the school as well as to beat
Kansas
J. C. Written made a short talk be-
fore the students at last nights meet
ing. He pointed out the fact that
were going to meet Mis-
sourian on the football field Saturday
which would mean that the real test
of the Tigers strength would be
shown. The student speaker was
George Wilson of the School of Law.
MIR. Wilson spoke of the advantages
in organized roofing. He said that
Missouri would not fall down in her
attendance at Lawrence in November
but would show Kansas the real Mis-
souri, way of doing things Mr.. Will
son spoke of the Fighting Five Hun
dred" from Kansas dwindling to the
'Timorous Twenty-Five" at Missouri
last Thanksgiving.
Bobby" Lakenan spent some time
in giving the entire student body a
practice in yelling. The athletic COM
nittee and the Ad Club distributed
small books which contained the Mis-
souri, yells and songs. Only 800 of
hem were finished in time for the

history bearing on this very question.
Canntng's famous boast that he had
called In the new world to redress
the balance OF the old" Is entirely alb
sent from his production. He also
suppresses the very scrupulous car
shown by Lord John Russell with re-
gard to the Anglo-French expedition
to Mexico to confine England's action
to that permitted by the Monroe doc
trine. and its revelation Of the fact
that he knew exactly what the Mon
roe doctrine a BY the English
specifications the allies were to send
naval and military forces. lombard
forts, land forces. occupy territory II
necessary to secure payment OF the
JUL and other claims. But they were
not to undertake to set up a govern
ment or maintain permanent control
of that country. When 1t was dis
closed that Louis Napoleon had pro-
vided the machinery for an empire
to be supported by French bayonets
ENGLAND promptly withdrew. n the
United States. when it had leisure.
made Louis Napoleon withdraw with
much less credit.
1t is interesting to observe that this
writer regards 1t as having a bearing
on the question that the United States
has acquired American territory. The
Monroe doctrine does not forbid any
American republic to extend its terri
tories. either by purchase or conquest.
Under that doctrine it was entitled to
acquire Texas or California as much
as Chile or the Argentine republic
were to acquire Patagonia.
The desire Of this writer to bring
in a wholesale indictment against the
United States is revealed when he
cites provisions Of the Clayton-Eulwer
treaty in parallel columns with what
has been lone by the United States in
the construction OF the Panama canal.
He is apparently in ignorance Of the
fact that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
was superseded by the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty before a stroke Of work
was done at Panama. If he is not, he
certainly desires to keep his English
readers in ignorance Of the fact.

Talks With Men of
National Prominence
Denmark is inst bepinnine ~ .don,
At Washington. D. O.

Denmark is just beginning to adopt
new scientific farming methods, al
though farmers have been using
intensive methods for years." remark
ed Holger Mollgaard. professor of
physiology. and director of the physi-
illogical laboratory Of the Royal Vet
Urinary college Of Copenhagen. "Al-
though the Danish farmers are some-
what behind the times. they employ
their land to greater advantage than
do the farmers of the United States"
continued Prof. Mollgaard. "Natur-
ally. with their limited area, the farm
ers Of Denmark have had to make
their lands yield all that was posi-
BILE, and h average production per
acre has been a great deal more than
in this country. But until the last two

now teaching u farmers how best to
make their farms pay, with gratifying
results.
Farming is the most important in
dustry Of Denmark. and our govern
ment is alive to this. for it is giving
attention to every branch Of agricul-
ture. Danish butter has a worldwide
reputation, n this is the only pro-
duct that is exported to any extent.
We keep u wheat and corn and 9TH
er field products at home. feeding cat
tie and hogs. Beef cattle are not
plentiful in Denmark. but we have
large quantities OF hogs. Because Of
the cost of producing corn. we do not
feed 1t to hogs to any large extent.
We have found through practical ex-
pertinent that hogs thrive on the re-
fuse of slaughter houses and mixed
feeds that could not be used for other
purposes.
1.-The scarcity of beef cattle in Dem
mark has caused a rise in the price of
beef to the consumer. and the retail
price is quite as high as 1t is in this
country-from rs to so cents a pound.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they have in the
United States.
THE foot and mouth disease has
been the source Of much trouble to the
farmers Of Denmark. but 1t is not so
dreadful a malady as 1t is in this
country. We ave tried numerous
times to stamp 1t out. but have never
succeeded. This disease decreases for
the time being the value Of cows at
fected with 1t. but as soon as they re-
cover their value returns. You see.
foot and mouth disease in Denmark is
easily durable and not fatal. as I un-
derstand 1t Is In America. II is al
most impossible to keep 1t out of the
country because of the prevalence OF
the disease in Germany"
Prof. Mollgaard is a delegate to the
International Congress Of Applied
Chemistry. He remained in Wash
ington after the departure of other
delegates to confer with officials OF
the agriculture department. with a
view Of adopting In Denmark some of
the advanced methods of scientific
farming in use in the United States.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IL, 1912
SENATOR cUMM1Ns FoRGETs.

The Times has, in the past. found
many things in Senator Culnnins to
admire and commend. but like all
other men when swayed by strong I'M
pulses. ne seems to be %forgetful Of
facts. We are not concerned in the
merit or the lack Of merit of the Iowa
senator's course in supporting Col
onel Roosevelt instead of Taft for the
presidency, but some of the reasons
he has advanced for that course since
his first public announcement, deserve
at leas, d passing notice.
One of those reasons Senator Cum
minis says. is hat the men who is-
nored the protest Of republican states
against southern representation in
the Chicago convention We're blind
as bats and deaf as adders."
Senator Cummins has been a pro-
gressive statesman in opposition to
all that is called standpatisn1 for the
last twenty years. He has been OPP
posed to the old order of things as
.epresented by Allison and Gear and
other old-line republicans in Iowa
ever since 1892. Vas 1t not as appar-
en-, in 1892. 1896. 1900. 1904 and 1908
as it was in 1912. that southern rep
reservation in republican national
conventions prevented the states with
republican majorities from making
the nomination. But Iowa showed
no inclination to support Senator
Quay when he introduced in the con-
vention of 1900 the resolution to
change the basis of representation so
ina: the south could not exercise a
great influence in the nomination.
Four years ago. when Mr.. Burke
also of Pennsylvania presented a
minority report from the committee
On rules, if Iowa had supported him
4 would have been adopted. and the
oasis of representation in the conven-
zion of 1912 would have been just
what Senator Cummins says 1t should
nave been, and would have been had
1ot the leaders been as blind as bats
and rs leaf as adders." The vote on
Mr.. Burke's resolution was All to SOC,
iowa casting twenty votes no. Had
hose friends of Senator Cummins

lad .91 votes Y to 486 no. and II
would have changed the basis Of rep
..csentation for the convention Of this
year.
1t may be that Senator Cummins is

=! BLAST FRoM ENGLAND.

Percy F. Martin, who is introduced
by the London Financial Review Of
Reviews as the author or THE Myth
# the Monroe doctrine" is stated to
be "the most prominent English writ
er on Latin America" and therefore
inferentially a pundit on the Monroe
doctrine. II so, Mr.. Martin manages
to successfully conceal his knowledge
of what the Monroe doctrine really
is, Of the bearing Of it on subsequent
facts of history and of the entire ir-
relevance Of certain other things
which, Cor the satisfaction of his YAM
keephobia, he incorporates in his ar
ticle.
1t is interesting to note that this
article cites the Monroe doctrine
clearly enough, giving the language Of
President M%onroe's message. But he
then proceeds to cite an alleged pro-
hibition by President Monroe, Of Rus
sia's settling Alaska. II there was
any such prohibition 1t was not a part
of the Monroe doctrine, since the off,
cial declaration of that stand was that
with the existing colonies Of inde-
tendencies of any European power
we have not interfered. and shall not
interfere" Then he goes on and cites
several cases in which European
powers have blockaded the coasts or
publics; and goes on to assert the fol-
lowing as what the Monroe doctrine
means:
Primarily the Monroe doctrine
forbids any European power to in
fict any damages upon any Latin
American state for insults either
to its flag or to it's official repre-
sentatives, or for wrongs per-
petrated upon it's subjects; or to
resort to n violent process Of
coercion for the collection of or
binary debts. or to confiscate for
the payment thereof the customs
revenue OF any American repub-
lie.
In these words Mr.. Martin exhibits
his entire disqualification to discuss
the Monroe doctrine. Not one Of the
things he alleges is forbidden either
in the text of the Monroe doctrine or
the practice Of the United States.
What the Monroe doctrine immedi-
ately forbade was the project of the
Holy Alliance to r~e-establish the SOW
ereignty Of the Bourbons over the
Spanish American countries. What
It has forbidden ever since is the &C.
QUESTION by European governments Of

into play.
