In the last number of the VARSITY
Life there appeared among the Ten
Commandments one which | think
was entirely uncalled for and | wish
| in this viewpoint. to say few things
which will enlighten a large number
of students.
The Commandment to which | re-
fer is the one which reads Thou
shalt not have a decent Glee Club. -
In the first place | should like to ask
those who wrote this Commandment
and also the members of the Student
Body who is to blame for this con-
ditiOn which they claim exists?
have worked with the Glee Club at
various times since | have been at
tending this University and believe
that | know more of the Glee Clubs
condition than any other student in
this University.
The Glee Club has been for the
last few years in a bad financial con-
ditiOn and | attribute the lack of in
terest and support of the students to
this. In 1907. the Glee Club had a
debt of $50 which the club the year
before had contracted. That club
came out about even on their eXpens-
es and paid little on the bill of the
year before. The club took a trip
south the following year and quit at
the end of that season with a debt.
including the old one. of about $500.
The following year the trip was
somewhat of failure and the club
was stranded at CarrOlltOn and were
compelled to pay their way home.
The club last year paid off about
$210 of the $500, were not we'll sup
ported i'm their efforts and did not
get to take a trip. The club of this
year is working hard. and. should
they pay off all the debts which the
clubs of 1906 and 1908 contracted.
they perhaps may get to take short
trip: if not. like the club of last year.
they will have to stay in Columbia.
This in brief is part of the history
of the club since 1907. Recently
when the past debts of the club We're
looked up. ii was found that there
was about S12J which the club
owed for old Outlawed debts be-
sides this $50. There is not a single
member of the club today who was

contracted. Last year there were
about three who came into the club

THE ASSETS OF MISSOURI.

Figuratively speaking. Missouri a:
a state is as rich Croesus. Its assets
are tremendous. Its tangible wealth
is enormous. Its yearly surplus of
products runs into the many hund-
reds of millions of dollars. Its man
ufacturies reach all over the world
In many it leads the world. But re-
markable enough its greatest asset
is one as yet undeveloped.
Missouri has one of the most no.
table river systems of the world. In
miles of navigable rivers it leads the
union. But perhaps the most I'M
pOrtant of these rivers is as yet un-
navigable. The broad Missouri.
draining an immense part of the
state has not yet been made suitable
for river traffic Why this is SO. is
only one more of the great mysteries
of craftsmanship. 1t cannot be that
the state is not awake to its real I'M
portance Yet the delay. What to
deepen that river would mean IS
plainly obvious. The broad Missouri
valley would become a continuous
lire of cities, ever increasing in size.
Railroad lines would form a network
around the state and the commerce
of the state would be infinitely in
creaced
