POpularizing Evil.

Editor the Missourian:-TheM Minis
terial Alliance of St. Louis has enter
ed protest against the proposal to
erect a monument in honor of Angus
tus Busch in one of the city parks.
The brewer undoubtedly did a great
work for st. Louis by his civic and
philanthropic work, but there will al
ways be doubt in the minds of most
people as to whether the good he did
overbalanced the bad.
In the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants Busch has brought much
suffering and unhappiness into the
world. His success as a business man
depended upon the existence of such
conditions.
There is too much of a tendency
nowadays to popularize wrongdoing
A sin is sin regardless of the pains
taken to cover it up and many good
citizens will join the ministers of St
Louis in questioning the propriety OF
monument for the man who made St
Louis the chief beer center of the
world. |. H. E.

VIEWPOINTS
About Religious Advertising.

Editor the Missourian:-At the be-
ginning of the school year, we were
face to face with the problem of reach
ing every student who was willing to
give fair consideration to any propo-
sition that claimed his support.
After careful deliberation, We de-
cided to try a means heretofore un-
used by anyone in Columbia engaged
in our line of work-we determined to
use the advertising columns of the
Missourian.
The results show that we chose the
most efficient means at our command.
For instance, at the beginning of the
year our Baptist Young Peoples Un-
ion had an enrolment of $50. By the
middle of November, it had reached
276. Last week, we undertook to
increase it to 300 and to get an average
attendance of $50 for the last four
Sunday evenings before the holidays.
Among other things, we put a small
display advertisement in the Missou-
rian, and last Sunday our attendance
was 25S, and our enrolment reached
80.
Since these results are somewhat
better than we have ever got before,
and as this is the first time we have
made use of the Missourian, it is
only fair to conclude that this ad-
vertising is in large measure respon-
sible for the results.
For that reason, we desire to express
our appreciation to the management of
the Missourian for maintaining a
newspaper of such a high character
that it appeals to the best in our Uni
versity life. Very truly yours,

HOPE FOR INTERURBAN REVIyES
Entrance of Mckinley Syndicate May
Make .Paper Tr0lIeys" Real.

The hope that Columbia will have
a St. Louis to Kansas City electric
interurban line has been given new
vigor by the entrance of the McKin-
ley syndicate into the state.
The Mckinley system has cob
web of interurban lines spreading
over Illinois. 1t has terminals in St.
Louis and owns a bridge which spans
the Mississippi River there. 1t began
operations in Illinois by entering the
state capital, Springfield. Likewise
in Indiana it began in the state capi-
tai, Indianapolis, and pushed branch
es out into that state.
The syndicate is beginning opera
tons in Missouri in the same way.
1t has secured foothold in Jefferson
City. The Mckinley people will be-
gin the operation of the Jefferson
City street railway January l. They
will take control of the Jefferson City
Bridge and Transit Company's prop
critics. They have been granted per-
mission to make a million dollar
bond issue. The bonds of this COM
pany should have a ready sale.
The money obtained on this first
bond issue will be used, probably, to
improve the Jefferson City properties
and to make an extension of twenty
six miles from that place to Colum-
bia. Once the company has become
firmly established it is thought that
it will gradually extend its lines in
all directions from Jefferson City
throughout the state. On each mile
of track built bonds could be issued
to pay for further building of the
line.
81 believe the line will be built,
says NJ. G. Quinn, who has long been
! interested in a st. Louis to Kansas
City line which would pass through
Columbia.
Should the line come into Columbia
the Mckinley interests probably will
follow the route laid out by the Mex
leo Construction and Investment
Company which had planned to build
such a railway.

WILSON'S "NEW FREEDOM"

President Wilson's antitrust law is
supposed by many who have given the
subject only a superficial study to be
inconsistent with his New Freedom"
the freedom of business from Gov
ernment regulation and direction.
Those who take this view are using
the popular misconception that free
dom decreases with an increase of law.
that the greatest freedom is coincident
with primitive society or absence of
government.
In discussing this subject of free
dom one must bear in mind the differ
ence between formal and effective
freedom. In primitive society formal
freedom is greater than in our modern
civilization, but the effective freedom
is far less Primitive man had no le-
gal business restrictions. He had
greater formal freedom than modern
business men. But he did not have
nearly the wealth, nor the machinery
of modern business man. Nor did
his government protect him from evil
practices of other business men.
Hence, with unlimited formal freedom
his effective freedom cannot be COM
pared with that of the modern busi-
ness man.
So President Wilson's antitrust law
would not remove "the freedom of bus
mess from government direction" 1t
would simply prohibit practices that
have proved a detriment to society
and hence those that would finally
undo the ends for which they were
made. This law would not interfere
with the growth and development OF
business. Without this law the alter,
natives would be a Government code OF
details which financiers would have tC
follow with pointed exactness, under
direction, and which most likely would
not be system but a collection ot
laws.

THE GREATEST TEXTBOOK.

w. H. Lynch, field supervisor of the
Springfield State Normal School, says
the newspaper is "one of the greatest
textbooks in circulation at the pres
ent time" He subscribes to eighty
seven daily newspapers at a cost of
500 a year.
Mr.. Lynch is right. The newspa-
per is one of the greatest textbooks,
if not the greatest. Without a doubt
it is the most used textbook, and this
is one thing which makes it of such
great value. Nearly everybody, of
whatever class, reads a newspaper
practically every day. The newspaper
is the great common educator. 1t is
read where books are seldom seen. 1t
reaches people a textbook cannot
reach.
For those who have access to text
books and a chance for higher edu-
cation, the newspaper serves as a
foundation for learning. 1t keeps the
student informed of the conditions of
life and things about him. Without
this knowledge he could not apply his
learning in a practical way.

CONV|CTS TO WORK
CHATT00GA ROADS
Misdemeaner COnvicts Will
Be Placed on Highways
About June

Lyerly, Ga, April 4.-(Special.) )-Chat-
tooga county's roads will soon be worked
by the misdemeanor convicts, this
being the decision of the county commits
sioners at a called meeting held at the
courthouse in Summerville this week 1t
is expected that the work will be started
by at least June l. the clerk of the board
having been instructed to notify the COM
missioners of Floyd county that Chat
tooga would want her quota of the con-
victs by that date.
w. A Wright will go to Atlanta this
week to make definite arrangements with
the prison commissioner for getting Chat
tcoga's pro rata share of the felony
convicts, and it is expected to have at
least 16 convicts TO start work with on
June /, and if the plan is successful a
larger number will be worked later.
This step means much to Chattooga
county, as we'll as Floyd and Walker
county since this county has long since
held the solution of lne CYlattanooga-At-
lanta highway. Walker county, on the
north, has splendid pike roads and Floyd
county on the south has good roads up
to the Chattooga line. The. roads
through Chattooga have been in des-
perate condition, it is said, thus greatly
with the completion of the
highway. But now that Chat
tooga's gap will be filed in, it will not
be many months before the Chattanooga
Atlanta automobile highway may be a
reality.
