DANGER WITHOUT HONOR.

The greatest number of fatalities
among the men who are trying to
solve the problem of aerial navigation
will be kept up this year because of
the twenty-seven lives lost in the
Zeppelin balloon accident.
Disasters in the air have never
seemed to lessen the enthusiasm or
determination of the aviators. Any
thing Will be risked for the sake of
doing a little bit more
And for the danger and bravery in
volyed. the air men get little of honor
or praise When a life is lost it is
looked upon by the public more as the
result of foolhardiness than as a sac
rifce for the good of humanity. But
if ever aerial navigation is made safe
through the efforts of these men, then
they will be spoken of as real heroes.

SUFFRAGE FOR THE INDIANS.

The American Indian wants the
right to vote. Delegates to the annual
conference of the Society of American
Indians held in Denver this week voic-
ed the sentiment of their people when
they adopted resolutions asking for
the right of suffrage.
Why should the Indian not vote?
Fifty years ago the ballot was ex-
tended to the negro. who is no farther
advanced intelligently or morally than
the Indian. The chief reason the red
man has so far been denied the right
of the ballot probably is that in his
present defenseless condition he is
an easy prey for unscrupulous poll
tieians who enrIch themselves by plum
derfng him OF N lands. The situation
as shown up at nis smerous times is dis

TRY WALKING,

There is something refreshing in a
long. brisk walk these days.
Try it Get away from Broadway.
The lazy stroll up and down the busi-
ness streets is a tax on energy rather
than stimulus Get out into the
country and keep your eyes open. The
country around Columbia is ideal for
this ancient sport 1t is picturesque
and full of interest.
Walking is good exercise. It is not
so strenuous as football or baseball.
but there are some who need milder
exercise. Besides there are some who
cannot compete in these contests.
Get out into the country, and re-
member that there are other places
just as interesting and just as beauti-
full as the Hinkson and the State
Farm.
Try the new and untrodden paths.
By the way, girls can walk, too.

graceful in the extreme, yet nothing
has been done to stop it.
1t is time the United States govern
ment withdrew from a partnership in
such transactions by granting TO the
Indian the power to say who shall
have control over his lands and by
opening to him the United States
Court of Appeals, a right which has
been denied to no other nation except
the Indian.
1t is doubtful if even the negro has
been treated more unfairly by the
American Government than the Indian
is now being treated by allowing him
to be held up as an object for eX-
ploitation by greedy politicians.

EDUCATION AND RESOURCES.

We learn in economics of the in
ter-dependence of society. that loss
in one place means loss in many
others; that much of our difficulty
today is caused by the small leaks that
any one person does not notice in a
short interval of time. but that to-
gether make a mighty force for in
efficiency.
We learn in chemistry how very
small particle of matter may unbal-
ance the equilibrium of large mass
and change its entire nature
We learn in physics how a small
unforeseen force may after while
wreck a powerful machine or rstruct-
ure
We learn in ethics how a subtle in
fluence may undermine the moral con-
dition of society and remain unseen
for a long time.
We learn on the athletic field how
the man who wins is not the man who
is far superior to all the rest. but
the man who has just an edge on
the others. a contestant wins a race
by fractions of a second. Running
separately a practiced eye could not
tell which was the swifter. One now
has valuable medal and reputation.
and has made his hackers happy.
The other has only the benefits OF the
training, and disappointment
In fact, our whole education is to
show the value of the fine edge that
makes for highest efficiency, and to
show how this fine edge may be at
tanned. True education is supposed to
give an appreciation of the importance
of details and the apparently insignif-
cant facts.
Yet-we leave our lights burn while
we are out of our rooms. We open
the windows when a room gets too
hot, but do not shut off the heat
We borrow our neighbors' things, and
return them when we please To
supplies furnished by the University
we help ourselves, for we don't pay
for them. We get all the latest fads
while plenty of perfectly good mate
rial is stuffed into the bag. We pay
our bills when We please Gf we have
any credit. We satisfy most of our
whims. We hire everything done for
us. We never think of putting a
Slightly worn article to use OF an
other kind, or mending it The fur
mace is its place We laugh at grand
mothers idea of saving the scraps.
And yet-we talk about the high
cost of living.

THE LEADER AND THE MAN LED.

Two men may live in the same town,
20 to the same church, talk with the
same friends, read the same newspa-
per and. to all appearances. lead the
same life As for intelligence the men
may appear to be nearly equal
Yet one OF these men may be a
leader in his town. man whose opin-
ion is sought on all matters of i'm
portance. while the second man may
be considered as of little consequence.
He is the one who looks to the other
man to lead him.
The difference in these men is not
one OF intelligence but of observation.
The man of little consequence to the
community is the one who has observ-
ed only those things which are to his
immediate interest. The leader sees
things with larger vision. He sees
those things which concern others as
well as himself Because of his keen
interest he gathers facts, retains them
and places them in the order of their
significance. He sees the nobler and
inspiring things, toe, which the other
scarcely realizes.
The first is leader because he
sees things as they are and his opin-
ions are of some consequence to the
public. The second is led by the
first because he observes only those
things of interest to himself.

VIEWPOINTS
Mental LazineSS.

Editor the MisSourian:- n:-ThOuSands
of men and women are mentally lazy.
They are sure they could never master
a certain science, though they spent
"a life time in studying it; yet they do
learn things which are much more
difficult and which require the same
mental capacities.
Half the men in the world who are
not sensitive to music think it would
be impossible for them to read musical
notation. In fact, any man of ordinary
Intelligence can master any subject
provided his determination is strong
enough. He may not learn it as quick
ly as someone else, but he will learn
it just the same. Too many men posi-
.vely refuse to apply their minds
They prefer to emerge from school as
ignorant as fishes when all that is
needed is strong determination and
an application of the mind to the task.
1t is phenomenon of mental lazi-
ness that ii is often most acute in
those naturally able. 1t is produced
by instructive or natural, or by a sense
of pain in the effort which, like the
pain to the arms in swinging. can be
overcome only by practice Let the
ecessity for learning a thing become
imperative and the fancied inability
speedily disappears, showing that in
the first place it was nothing more
than lack of application. lie.
