Hearst and Mitchell.


In whatever aspect 1t may be regarded there
can be no manner of doubt that Mr.. Mitchell
should spurn any offer of support at the
polls--even If the offer comes from Mr. Hearst

amenities of civilization rest, is facing a battle
that mere youthful exuberance will not win.

Mitchell mainly the things that initiate most

find itself again in the trammels of Tammany.
But after all the main consideration Is the
defeat of the Murphy organization, and Mr..
Mitchell upon whom the leadership In the battle
has been conferred should not neglect any OPP
portunity to strengthen himself at the polls

VIEWPOINTS
What Will the Other Classes Do!

Editor the NIissourian The senior
football men met last night in the
Rothwell Gymnasium to get a class
football team started There is deal
of football enthusiasm in the class
of IA this year because a winning
team will mean that the class has
been all-victorious in the class games
for four consecutive years-for the
first time in the history of class
athletics
The spirit the seniors are showing
is admirable and the example they are
setting before the other classes is a
fitting example for the younger class
es to emulate.
Although they make up the smallest
class in the school, they will turn
out between twenty and thirty men
for practice. Their idea is first to
help the scrubs in the conditioning
of the varsity, but in so doing they
hope to round a team in shape that
will again walk off with the class
championship.
Last year they turned out a team
that was far superior to both the
freshman and the scrub team, so it
is only reasonable to suppose that
their work upon the field every even
ing would have meant stronger and
better varsity
This year it is not going to be a
case of what they might have done,
but they are going to do it with no ifs
and ands about it.
1t was from the ranks of class
teams that such men as Curtis, Jim
mie Shuck and Crosby Kemper rose.
There is no telling how many such
dark horses are about school now,
who can star in Tiger jersey if they
will just get out on the field where
coaches.
If every football enthusiast in
school, which means practically every
man in school, will see to it that
everyone who ever saw a football
gets out there on the field in a suit
and works in the interest of better
Tiger team, it will mean that the
whole school is going to win the Mis-
souri, Valley championship and not
that pitiful handful of thirty-five men.
Let's have less talking and roofing
and more playing. ]. NJ. H.

TOO soon.

a good exciting bandit story now
running in one of the magazines is
about to be spoiled, all because the
magazine did not wait long enough
to print the bandits version of life
in a border state.
The former outlaw tells of his he
roic exploits of every kind, and of how
many times he conquered the sheriff
and his deputies. Now comes the sher-
iff, with a denial that he was ever
beaten by the outlaw. And, what is
more the sheriff says he can prove
his side of the story.
When We begin to make heroes out
of former outlaws, it is well to be
careful that there are no lawabiding
citizens to contradict the stories.

Why Not Vaccinate?

Editor Missourian In the news
papers of last week learned that the
University of Kansas was vaccinat-
ing its students for typhoid Why
wouldn't that be a good thing for this
school?
Our water supply here is not as
good as it could be- At present there
are several cases of typhoid among
the students. One young man has
died.
1t costs only 50 to be vaccinated
but there are many who will not
spend that much money. They'll take
the chance to save 50. There are
others who actually can't afford to
spend that much Free vaccination
will place this preventive within the
reach all.

his youth" in forbidden manner;
pitiful Sallie, splendid Sonya, they're
all real enough to shake hands with;
aye, to suffer with, to stand by and

comprises an admirable study of a
warm-natured girl, improperly train
ed and guided, who but for another
woman5's soul-searing confession and
still another woman's magnificent,
unobstrusively oiered sacrifice, inevi-
tably would have left the safe main

acters are more or less impressionis-

There is no small amount of gently
vital philosophy in this book, and big
questions are discussed with dignity
and reticence. yet honestly and clear
ly. Much high thought has gone to
the making of 'The Main Road" and
in many ways it is notable produc-
ton, wanting, perhaps, naught save
occasional touch of relieving light
ness. Janet's progress through love,
the butterfly life of society,"" suffrage
enthusiasm and still more altruistic
efforts for others is epic in nature.
Yes, decidedly this is novel to be
read more than once.

THE EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE

The proposition put before the re-
cent conference of bishops and off
cials of the Episcopalian Church, to
admit the general public to the con-
ference. whether carried or defeated,
bears a peculiar significance The
agitation is characteristic of the pres
ent tendency in religious matters. 1t
is in accordance with the newer
thought, whether for good or evil, in
church questions.
The tendency is now to put church
affairs more into the hands of the
layman, to make the church popular
in the same sense that government
has been made popular.

victors in that game. So let's raise
our heads, remember what we did to
Oklahoma last year and repeat the
same story gain this year.
Gibson said he never admitted de-
feat until the final whistle blew.
Figuratively the last whistle has not
blown on that Illinois game. The
game is over, Illinois is winner: but

We score on them? And what more
could have been expected. Really,
even if it is against Gibson's prin-
ciple. should we have expected to
win?
Almost everyone was dubious of
that game. Almost everyone half eX-
pected the final score. But they also
had a most hilarious feeling at the
end of the first quarter when We were
ahead. And they had sinking of
the heart when the other quarters
went against us. We've had time to
forget that now. So let's stay behind
our "undefeated' team next Saturday
and keep from soiling that football
slate which is as clean now as it was

girl to wear the beloved's livery and
for a time she is supremely happy in
her engagement to him. But Gregory,
after all, is composed of very COM

son, who long has loved her, comes
keen and crucial trial, out of which,
by and by, comes well-earned joy.

work done by Earle Pearson, adver-
tising manager of the Redpath-Hor-

Pearson was a student in the School

The article describes the methods
OF advertising which are used. The
credit of the success of the campaign
is given to Mr. Pearson. In regard
to the efforts of the manager the
article says:
The ads were prepared by Earle
Pearson, the Horner advertising
manager. You will note their high
appeal. There is none of the bonn
bastic, circus, greatest ever" in these
ads. They appeal to the intelligence
of the people, to their ideals, to their
hearts.
Mr.. Pearson tried artist after artist
before he could get the pictures he
wanted. Finally he found an artist
who could draw real home folks.
