CONTEST In PILOTS
ASSOCIATION
Each One Of Eighty Members
is Nominated in Race for
the Presidency

Every one of the members of the
Pennsylvania and Delaware Pilots
Association has been nominated for
the Office Of president Each de-
lclines to withdraw, and one of the most
peculiar elections is now being held.
The polls opened at the headquarters,
on Walnut street. Philadelphia, on
Monday, and will remain open until
the end of the month. Each pilot
as he brings a vessel up from the Del
aware Capes visits the Headquarters
and casts his ballot.
The present president is John p
Virden, who has held the position FOR
12 terms in the last IA years. Ever
since the association was organized
the Virdens, of Lewes, have been
powerful factors in Il. They have
always held high offices, and opposi-
tion has been made to their domi-
nation regularly but In vain.
Last year the factions opposing
Captain Virden Objected fusion. but
their candidate was defeated. This
year his opponents were unable tC
unite on any one candidate, and the
nomination of every one of tAe S(
members followed. Despite this stu.
alton Captain Virden feels confident
he will be elected again.
The Office Of president merely car.
ries with 1t the right to dictate the
policies OF the associations and the
man holding the position does moi
have to pilot a vessel in or out OF the
harbor. All of the money earned by
the pilots is pooled, and after all ex.
penses are paid an equal division OF
it is made TO all.

MINICIPAL OWNERSHIP

There has been accelerated discus
ion of the question Of municipal own
.rship ia the last few years. 1t has

With other cities. will have TO meet the
ssue.
II will be- well to consider carefully
he fallacics which appear in the dis
.ussions so freely carried on in books
md newspapers. The debate has pro-
luced two widely different views
Dne holds complete municipalization

'ther is the conservative or reaction
ry view which opposes all attempts

porations il appears that municipal
ownership is a problem each city must
solve for itself. taking into considera-
ton its peculiar local conditions.
Why was the operation OF the municlp-
al light plant in Detroit a clear sue
cess and the city-owned gas plant OF
Philadelphia a dismal failure? Local
conditions were factors in each case.
Anyhow, a better standard OF public
morality is necessary to the success
of public utilities whether owned
privately or by municipalities.

THE NIsSOURI-KANSAS GAME.

There has been much agitation in
the Kansas City papers of late favor
ing the return of the annual Missouri
football contest to that place. The
dissatisfaction which is said to exist
with regard to the present system, as
a matter of fact. comes almost en-
tirely from the Kansas side, and pre-
dictions are even made that the game
will be transferred TO Kansas City
next fall. SO confident is our competi-
tor that the change will be made that
Coach Mosse OF that school in his an
nouncement of the schedule Of games
for 1913 names Kansas City as the
location for the game with Missouri
II is easy TO understand why both
Kansas City and the X. L. rooters are
in favor OF the change, for both would
profit thereby. The big game means
much financially TO the town where
il is played, however. and il is hardly
fair to deprive Columbia and Law
renee OF the advertisement which they
earn.
On the other hand the alternating
games afford an opportunity to the
prospective student to see and COM
pare the two schools. Kansas STU
dents tell us themselves that the Uni
yersity of Missouri far outclasses her
rival in beauty and general appear
ance and first impressions made upon
the prospective student are generally
decisive. The University of Missouri
must be seen to be appreciated and
for this reason We are sure 10 be the
losers should the game be returned TO
Kansas City.
The most powerful objection 70 the
change however, is a moral one. CO.
lumbia and Lawrence are both small
towns and comparatively free from the
immoral influences of the large city,
while to unload three thousand col
lege students in Kansas City would
be imprudent to say the least.
The only reason urged for the
change is a financial one While the
statement is probably true that the
game in Kansas City would draw larS-
er crowds still il has never yet failed
to net profit wherever it was and
there is no reason for believing that
it will prove loss in the future.
Since it is purely matter of amount
Df profit 10 be- made the argument be-
comes very insignificant beside the
moral and educational objections
which involves the welfare OF the stu
Tents themselves.

leaving school this spring
should come in the store be-
fore school closes and get the
articles they yet need. What
we have not in stock can be
secured in few days from St.

The Pre-Engineer should get his
set of instruments now. During spare
moments this summer he can use them
enough to become familiar with their
detail. Every man should buy good
set of instruments. He will become
used to them while in school, then
they will serve him better when he
has job.
