toward others. The man who has the
least to be proud of usually has the
highest opinion of himself. When you
enter the Office of a business man OF
college professor, you can estimate
pretty accurately his influence in the
community by the courtesy he shows
to visitors.
He may greet you with a scowl and
GOODNESS of manner that seem to cov-
er you with a film of ice and at the
same time his actions will tell you as
plainly as spoken words, There is the
door. I'have no time to be bothered
with you"
Or perhaps he is one of the self
important men whose every remark
seems an insinuation of your inferior
ity and of the condescension in talking
to you. In either case you go away
with a very low estimate of the man.
Instead of impressing you with his
superiority as he intended, he points
out his own inferiority in failing to
know the value of courtesy.
The world likes an approachable
man and one who has a friendly
greeting and a word of encourage
ment for everyone.
Remember that the object in life is
not to be centered solely in self.
Ones success is not measured by the
self-important air one is able to as
sumo, but rather the lack of it; and
the man who will succeed in business
is the man who always wears
CHEEKY smile and has a pleasant word
for all.
The folly of conceit is best express
ed in those verses by Samuel Walter
Foss:
l would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road,
And be a friend to man.
see from my house by the side of
the road,
BY the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor
of hope,
The men who are faint with the
strife,

But 1 turn not away from their
smiles and their tears
Both part of an infinite plan;

THE GOOD OF ATHLETICS.

Juvenal, a Roman satirist, asked by
an anxious mother what she should
pray the gods to send her boy, said
"A sound mind in a sound body
That should be the aim of every uni.
versity-a sound mind in a sound body
1t is said a man is never too old tc
learn, but he cannot learn health from
books alone. Most men without
physical strength like to console
themselves by thinking of "the su-
periority of mind over matter" Phys
ical superiority does not mean mental
inferiority, in the schools at least.
University athletes must be students
before they can be on teams.
The trouble is not that We have too
many athletic contests, but too few.
1t is sometimes hard to take exercise
from a mere sense Of duty to our
selves. II every man had a chance to
match himself physically against his
fellows, We would not have many un-
sound bodies housing sound minds.
An athlete learns to be temperate.
He has to be, or he cannot retain
physical fitness. And physical fitness
does not interfere with mental fit
ness.

SITTING THE JOB HUNTERS.

The old problem of patronage that
has been the bugaboo of every Presi-
dent since the time of Jackson seems
to have been solved by Wilson. All
the numberless applicants for posi-
tions will have to go through a pro-
cess of elimination at the hands of
the Cabinet members, according to the
plans announced
There is no reason why the Presi-
dent Of the United States, with all
the demands that are made upon his
time. should be compelled to spend
hours and hours listening to the
twaddle of petty politicians seeking
appointments to minor offices. Presi-
dent Wilson's announcement that he
will not be at home to anyone con-
corning these appointments except
those whom he invites to call, will
meet the approval of the Nation.
When the voters send a public SER
want to Washington to look after their
interests, his time is too valuable to
waste on trivialities. In the mean
time the applicants are at liberty to
find a furniture store and talk an arm
off a chair.

Says Club Critic Is in Earnest.


Editor the Missourian: Your pa
per of March contains a communi-
cation signed "T. W. G." in which a
statement is made that the U. d. Club
allows but twenty minutes for a man
to eat a meal. Either "T. w. G." fail
ed to ask anyone or else was badly
misinformed. Anyone who has any
connection with the club knows bet
ter than that
The U. d. Club allows thirty min
utes for each meal. This is not an
arbitrary rule, either, for il a man
needs more time he can have it. The
members run the club.
1t has been the custom in the past
to tell all sorts of stories about the
U. d. Club. But if a personal exami-
nation is made it will be found that
the U. d. Club ranks the highest A
few who had believed some Of the
stories undoubtedly pricked up their
ears when they saw the report Of
the pure food and drug commissioner.
No eating place in Columbia stood

OPPORTUNITY FOR PROGRESSIVES IN
THE HOUSE.

Members of the Progressive party in the new
House of Representatives have special response
bility in making the best use of Mr.. Underwood's
willingness to treat them as a party unit.
In the long program of legislation to come up
at the extra session and at the regular session which
vii! follow, it will be for them to stand guard in
defense of the principles of their platform when
ever the issue is joined. With Victor Murdock of
Kansas, who seems to be their favorite candidate
for Speaker, or any other acceptable leader they
can help either of the old parties when it is tine
right track and curb it when it goes wrong. There
need be no playing for selfish advantage, none of
the petty squabblng and scheming in which Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike almost sure to get
tangled.
This small body of men, in speaking for the
100000 voters VINO supported the Progressive na-
tional ticket at the November election, will have
task that may do much toward shaping the political
lines of the future

THE FIGHT AGAINST TAMMANY.

Governor Suffers effort to organize the New
York Democracy into independence of .Tammany
bossship is at least an interesting sign of the times
Crusades aiming to put Tammany out of business
have been many and So Intellectual that not many
people are able nowadays to get enthusiastic over
the prospect of startling results.
But the governor is something of practical
politician himself, he has unbounded ambition, and
has always been right independent figure. He
knows very we'll that Tammany is weak by reason of
the graft and vice and crime revelations in New
York city. The establishment of a new Bronx county
is counted means to weakening still further the
grip of Tammany in the greater CITY, The Kings
county (Brooklyn) Democracy is reported likely to
cut loose from Fourteenth street and ally itself with
the State organization that is being invited to sup
port the governor and his upstate allies
Ia New York city Tammany is preparing for a
fight to renstae itself in power at the city hail. and
the various ant-Tammany elements Republican
Progressive, and Democratic, are negotiating and
comforting with reference to uncaton of interests
and strength as against Murphy. The time seems
most auspicious for such campaign But, whether
it shall succeed fail confidence in the overthrow"

stands the plucking. 1t doesn't seem as if that we're

REAL AID FOR FARMERS.

The American farmer is making a good record
but he is not getting the net result as whole to
which his efforts entitle him.
He is paying too high interest on his money rela

whose attitude is that of the consumer which ad

ABOUT OUR GILDED AMBASSADORS

There is a renascence of interest in our dipIo
matte representation abroad, which in its presen,
form is concerned largely with the question of wheh
er the Democratic party has enough men, rich enough
and willing enough and expert enough at the art OF
spending their riches, to fill the ambassadoriaI posts
Most of the discussion turns to the expensiveness
of the business of being an ambassador There is
plenty of regret that the country docs not provide
the ambassadors with which to live up to their
station without drawing their private means. But
il seems as if this rather misses the real point
B. Franklin, who was quite an efficient diplomatic
agent was not very eXtravagant one. No more
were the Admses. Nor Jefferson Those old
fashioned persons, with very real problems in inter.
national relations their hands, managed to stand
very well with the countries 10 which they were &C.
credited, despite that they not famous spenders
Is it not possible that new turn could we'll be
given to this present consideration, by an effort to
popularze plain living and high thinking as dipo-
matte qualifications? Is it really necessary for the
American ambassador to be persona grata with the
florists, caterers, shop keepers, and like classes in
order that ne may be welcomed by the fore n office
that has to wise his credentials? There have indeed
