Dear Sirs:
Referring to enclosed clipping from
New York paper, desire to say, that
whilst 1 am not a subscriber to your
valuable paper, nevertheless, desire to
participate in your contest, defining a
politician as follows:
"A politician is a man without visible
means of support, by fair or foul means
controls votes, which he places at the
disposal of those, through whom he OBJ
tains graft or possess sufficient infiu-
ence to make him an officeholder, but
this does not mean, that an offceholder
must necessarily be a politician"

VIEWPOINTS
Wants No Volunteer Reciting.

Editor the Missourian:-Th junior
law class voted the other day that
hereafter no one shall recite until
called upon by the teacher. 1t would
be a good thing if this rule were ex-
tended to all divisions of the Univer-
sity.
Too often is seen the student who
prepares only an occasional lesson
and who depends at such times on
nerve and a ready flow of speech to
get more credit than he deserves.
Others, who prepare their lessons
carefully each day, allow timidity or
their sense of fairness to cause them
to sit in silence until called upon.
Their only real chance to show what
they are worth is in examinations.
If no student could recite until
called upon it would give all an equal
chance. S.

TIGER SQUAD HAS OSTEOPATH
DIR. II. f. Bailey Is Official Doctor for
Football Team.

An osteopath, Dr. H. F. Bailey, a
graduate of the American School of
Osteopathy of Kirksville and a for
mer track man at the University of
Illinois, has been selected as the doc
tor for the Missouri football squad.
Doctor Bailey's work is to care for in
juries. He dons a football suit every
afternoon along with the squad, and
follows up every play. He does this
to be sure that the men do not over
work themselves, and to be close at
hand in case of injury.
Doctor Bailey says that if a man
is given attention Immediately after
he is injured, he has much better
chance for speedy recovery. An
epidemic of sore throat bordering on
tonsilitis has been the most trouble
some factor here this year. Groves,
Lake and Clay have been the chief
sufferers. With one exception,
MOore's knee, which must be watched,
Doctor Bailey thinks that the team
is in fine physical condition at pres
ent. Doctor Bailey does not hold the
position of trainer but is expected
to watch for and correct all injuries

.DO III NOW."

Don't wait until you are inspired to
accomplish great things. Many spend
the greater part of their time either
waiting to be inspired or to be in
the proper mood before going to work.
The sooner We learn that inspira-
ton follows work, not work inspira-
ton. the more We will accomplish.
Those who accomplish great things
along any line accomplish them not
by waiting for an inspiration, but by
buckling right down to work.

NEW SOCIAL SERVICE SCHOOL
DIR. {. A. EIIwOOd Gives First Lecture
i'm Kansas City.

i'm Kansas City.
The Kansas City school of social
service was opened Saturday by
DR.. Charles A. Ellwood, professor of
sociology at the University of Mis-
souri,. Doctor Ellwood delivered two
lectures to the fifty students who en-
rolled. He will deliver ten others on
Saturdays.
The object of the school is to
train persons in social work. 1t was
founded and will be run under the
auspices of the Kansas City Board
of Welfare, of which l.. A. Halbert is
president and Jacob Billikopf is a
leading member.
The school board met in Kansas City
Saturday and elected DR.. Ellwood as
advisory member to represent the
University. The lectures which he
will give can be used as University
credits. The students in this social
service course are not necessarily re-
stricted to Kansas City for their fu-
ture work but can work anywhere
in the United States.

NEED OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Under a rigid cross examination a
few days ago one of the witnesses in
an important case confessed that she
had previously testified falsely in or
der to shield one of the defendants in
the case. In the trial of Governor
Sulzer now in progress in New York
the indications are that false testi-
mony is being introduced. In fact it
seems that perjury is becoming an
altogether too common practice in
this country just now.
Witnesses regard too lightly the
significance of their oath, and in many
cases give testimony favorable to one
side or the other without regard to
whether it is true or not In some
instances there is little doubt that the
testimony of witnesses is actually
bought and sold as merchandise This
is plain attempt to block justice
and should not be allowed to go un-
punished
The disregard of witnesses for truth
is one of the greatest obstacles to
the enforcement of the local option
law and other liquor restrictions. 1t
is hard to secure conviction under
ordinary conditions and doubly SC
when witnesses wilfully perjure them
selves.
In most states perjury is regarded
as a serious offense, yet prosecutions
for its practice are singularly rare
The officers have been too slow in
prosecuting for the violation of this
law and consequently the mass of ev,
idence given in any ordinary case is
much more unreliable than it should
be. A few prosecutions for perjury
would soon put a stop to the danger.

mony.

First Time it Appears as a Separate
Class.

DR.. R. L. Ramsay of the English de-
partment of the University is giving
a course entitled Narration and Des-
cription," in which large part of the
work is writing original short stories.
Though the course has been given
the last two years." Doctor Ramsay
says, this is the first time it appears
as a full course, separate from other
classes in composition. 1t is not the
primary purpose of the course to make
short-story writer's, though if any of
the members have talent, it will appear
in their work In that case they can
enhance their ability by the study OF

DAIRY TEAM Is WORKING, TOO
Missouri Has Good Chance This Year,
SAYS Coach Rppan

Every afternoon, while Prof C. L..
Brewer is working his team into
shape, Coach William NJ. Regan is
giving another Missouri team its
workout. That is the dairy judging
team.
Fifteen men make up the squad.
This is the largest number that has
ever been out. Mr.. Regan says that
the quality of the men is above the
average and that the prospects for
Missouri at the National Dairy Show,
to be held at Chicago October % to
November l are good.
Missouri will compete with all of
the leading universities in the United
will be keen, especially among the
Universities of Oregon, Nebraska and
Missouri and Pennsylvania State Col
leges, for the teams of each of these
schools are coached by old Missouri
men.
The squad visits the various diaries
around Columbia for its tryouts. The
team, composed of three men, will be
picked in about two weeks. These
men will then go to the Iowa Dairy
Show, at Waterloo, Ia, to study all
breeds of dairy cattle, and later will
go to Green Forest, Wis, to study
Guernsey and Ayrshire cattle. From
there they will go to Chicago.
