CHRISTMAS IDEALS.

Most people think of the Christmas
spirits as sour-faced gods who sit in
a dark and gloomy heaven and, with
wrinkled brows, ponder and quarrel
over what to give each other for
Christmas, instead Of blowing on their
trumpets peace, good will to men,"
And that is about the size Of 1t.
Christmas is so much a time of gift
giving alone these days, that it would
be we'll to have Thanksgiving imme-
diately following it, in order that we
might give thanks for the bountiful
harvest of gifts that we have reaped

BE PROUD OF THESE.

Columbia is not perfect. Defects
are more easily seen than perfection.
That is why we point out the faults
of the place too often. There are at
least five things which Columbia has
of which every resident should be
proud. There are more but these are
first
The "dryness'' of the place is a
thing to take pride in. 1t would be
hard to find another community with
such a large number of students
where the morals are as high. Pro-
hibition has been the greatest factor
in establishing this sound condition.
Then Columbia has the University,
colleges and high school, the worth
of which cannot be estimated, for they
equip young men and women for ac-
tive lives of usefulness wherever they
go. Any community should be hon.
ored in having such institutions Of
power for service.
This town has covered up mud with
miles Of brick paving and concrete
sidewalks, and has constructed a mu-
nicipal water and light plant. which
reveals an enterprising civic spirit
worthy of the largest cities.
Columbia has stores relatively as
complete as those in large CONNER
cial centers. 1t is possible for every
resident to supply his needs within
the town, receiving goods and service
not excelled in distant places.
There are men and women in Col
umbia who are working for the better
ment of mankind in many different
ways. These persons are impelled by
no desire for gain and apparently have
no other motive except that which
comes with an enlightened social
sense. It is their desire to have every
person count as one. These servants
who are doing much to help the con-
dition of mankind are an asset which
is impossible to place value upon.
They are doing things of which Col
umbia may we'll be proud.

OUR INDUSTRIAL SPIRIT.

The industrial spirit is growing in
the University. 1t is taking the place
of Greek and other classical studies
that are now sometimes regarded as
useless. Whether this is a good move
is a matter of personal opinion. There
can be no doubt, however. that more
attention should be paid to the devel-
opment of the industries.
The population of this country is
growing rapidly and with it the prob
lem of living becomes more complex.
Each year it grows harder to make
a living. Each year the amount of
food for each person grows less. In
less our industries are developed we
will soon be in sore straits.
Years ago, when the Bonne Femme
Academy was in existence, a young
woman recited her graduating essay
in Greek. Today there would be very
few degrees given out if this was sud-
denly made one of the requirements.
II merely shows that we are turning
from the literary side to the indus
trial side of life.
1t is well that we do this, for the
more produced the more we have to
eat. And to many people of the lower
classes. the eating problem has be-
come serious-far more SO than those
who have plenty really think.

Civil War and it ends in the New
York of some thirty years ago. The
descriptions of old-time New York
give the real flavor of the time, but
the winsome and willful heroine and
her gallant and obstinate lover are as
true as they were in the days when
Betty and her lover lived. The whole
book breathes the Christmas spirit in
a singularly sweet and delightful
fashion. The pictures are charming
and suggestive of the past and hap

PanSy Meares.

In "Pansy Meares." the story of a
London shop girl, the author, Horace
W. c. Newte, takes as his heroine q
simple country girl of great beauty,
who, to escape from an undesirable
step-father and the boredom of coun-
try life. makes her way to London
and starting in as waitress in tea
shop, passes through all the phases
of hardship that await the penniless
and unsophisticated young woman in
a great city. Despite her vigilance,
she falls into the various traps set for
her. but is rescued at length by her
country lover of olden days, once held
by her in contempt, but ultimately ap-
preciated for his true worth.
The white slave traffic, an impor-
tant topic of the hour, plays a prom
inent part in the story.

Make Foreign Students Happy.

Editor the Missourian: We have
with us a good many students who
come here from foreign lands. Christ
mas is coming and they can't go
home. To show them we are glad to
have them come to our University in
stead of stopping at eastern schools
why not give them each a Christmas
present or an entertainment? This
would be sensible and would show
them that we have the right spirit.

The Fortunes of the Landrays,

lHc rOrtuucS OF tne L0n0fayS.
Since the publication of Vaughn
Kester's popular novel, .The Prodigal
Judge" his publishers have decided
to reissue an earlier and strong story,
"The Fortunes of the Landrays" is
a big book in the same sense that "The
Prodigal Judge" is a big book. 1t
belongs to that class of large and am
pie fiction which just now promises
to have long-neglected hearing. 1t
is tale of men and of empire, of tall,
robust, masculine figures, and of
women of like quality to love and
cOmrade them. In Virginia Landray
Vaughan Kester has painted his most
sumptuous portraits of a woman
"The Fortunes fthe Landrays" is
an American novel, broad as the Mis-
sissippi in it's sweep and as typical
and characteristic of the country as
is the Father of Waters itself.

from our friends. The feverish en-
ergy that many display in trying to
rob Christmas of the spirit that makes
it the finest of all festivals is amaz-
ing. But the true Christmas spirit is
so much bigger, so much finer than
we are, that it sweeps aside our poor
and foolish vanity and lifts us up in
spite of ourselves.
Above all, Christmas is time to be
charitable to the really needy. A
helping hand to the lowly, smile to
the sick and a word of encouragement
to the disheartened are some of the
grandest gifts that can be given.
Christmas is a time for love, for
thoughts of friends and for meditation.

THE NEW BOOKS
Atlantis.

The greatest figure in contemporary
German literature is Gerhart Haup-
man, recipient of the Nobel prize for
literature. His latest novel, "Atlan-
tbs" is a story of American life. Art,
the theater, politics. and other
strands are interviewer in the narra-
tive disclosing a psychological insight
and literary medley that amaze and
captivate. No single work will illus
trate better than this novel why
Haupman has become so potent an
influence in contemporary European
letters. Like many classics in liter
ature, it will interest different people
for different reasons; some will care
for it because of it's narrative, to 9TH
ers it will appeal because of its SYM
bolism, and again there will be those
who care primarily for it's psychology.
The duel nature of the hero responds
to conflicting influences; the struggles
between the spirit and the flesh are
all portrayed. A pen sensitive to the
nuances of life describes the gaities
of an ocean voyage, the tragedy of a
sinking vessel, the sordid side of the
theater in New York, and the forces
virtue, hypocrisy, art, puritanism -
that contribute to the spirit of Amer
lea.

For Better Shows.

Editor the Missourian: 1t seems too
bad that Columbia theater-goers can
not be provided with a better class OF
shows. If good shows, with first-class
companies, could be induced to come
to Columbia, there's no doubt a good
patronage could be built up. But a
class of shows with poor acting, poor
music, which receive no applause or
arouse no enthusiasm and lose haif
the audience before the performance
is over, will not serve to build up
dependable theater-going clientele.
Let's have more good shows! p.

Suggests Gateway for Campus.
Editor the Missourian: The Uni
versity of Missouri has one OF the
prettiest campuses in the United
States. But it has no gateway at
the entrance. The landscape is nat
ural. The flower beds, rustic bridg-
es, winding walks, Columns and new
flag pole are all arranged with the
idea of beautifying the campus.
Would it not be we'll to have an
arch or gateway at the opening!
Some time ago a movement was
started to build one at the Eighth
street entrance. However, it has been
dropped. Rollins Field has a -beauti-

Labor Bill Suggested
by President Taft
is introduced

WASHINGTON, Feb. .. - President
Taft's recommendations for the estsb-
lishment OF commission on industrial
relations are embodied in a bill intro
duced in the house today by Representa-
tive Hughes. democrat, Of New Jersey.
The bill is significant in view Of the ex-
isting labor troubles at Lawrence. Mass,
and other sections of the country.
In his message the president urged q
commission on Industrial relations to in
auire into the relations between en-
ployers and employees. and the various
methods tried for maintaining peaceful
conditions In the Industrial world.
The Hughes bill Is similar to
one to be introduced in the senate by
Senator Borah. which would provide for
commission OF nine to serve without
compensation. The Department OF Com
merco and Labor would be authorized to
cooperate with the commission and the
latter would include not less than two en-
ployers OF labor and two representatives
OF organized labor. The commission would
inquire into ''the general conditions OF
labor IN the principal Industries In the
United States, together with an inquiry
into the methcGz employed in foreign
countries for the maintenance OF peace
In the Industrial worid,r
House and senate committees on labor
soon will hold hearings on the bills.
