WAR MIGHT END WAR.

AS the competition in navy building
grows keener statesmen's minds are
taxed to find financial resources
Great Britain, almost driven TO the
wall in an effort to keep her maratime
supremacy, appealed to her colonies
for help.
Germany is facing a financial crisis
but is determined to go on with her
naval policy France has partly solved
the problem by joining the Triple En-
tente and thus getting the aid of Great
Britain and Russia in case of war
The United States, though hardly yet
affected, will soon feel the burden of
her armaments And the end is not
yet
IL might be that a great war would
end forever the strife. The hatred
that is accommodating with big navies
would then be expended. 1t is quite
likely that civilization has reached the
stage where it would stand for no
more than one struggle. And at the
end of this great world war it is like
ly that the third Berlin Congress, clos
ing the struggle, would decree that
henceforth the world shall be navy
less.

TOmOrrOw's Reading.

Editor the Mssourian: The chang
ing of the old order has not been ex-
elusive of journalism. Tomorrow's
reading will be different from today's.
Not alone will the physical makeup
of the publications but the style will
be changed
Journalistic style is becoming more
attractive and sparkling. This is
partly because circulation depends on
the attractiveness of the writing.
TOmOrrow's journalism will be more
accurate than today's. 1t wn. reflect
more correctly current life. 1t will be
the better part of life, for it will mini
mize crime. Offensive advertising
will be eliminated. 1t will be a clean
journalism.
AS personal journalism is absent to-
day SO will partisan journalism be
lacking tomorrow. 1t will be strong
and fearless journalism. There will
be much human interest in it. But it
will be the result of the same SYM
pathies that are developing with edu-
Gated humanitarianism. The modern
sob story will have passed out.
The changing of the old order i'm
journalism will be the result, as it is
in all changes so noticeable today, of
the coming of new school of men.
This new school is furnishing the men
with the new ideas and ways that are
all that is old And !
tomorrow will be a new journalism !
as different from today's as is Hearst's :
from Greeley's. NJ.

VIEWPOINTS
The University and Health.

Editor the Missourian: The Univer.
sity owes more TO the student thar
simply book-learning. 1t will fall
short of its service TO the state if il
does no more than teach from the
classroom.
There are brilliant students i'm the
University who should not be allowed
to remain in school. Ii is unfair to
them and to society that they be allow
ed to continue their studies at the ex-
pense of their health. There are some
who are wrecking their health to an
extent that can never be recovered
for the sake of being called a brilliant
student. 1t is the duty of the Univer-
sity to remove such persons.
Further than not allowing a student
to ruin his health, it is the duty of the
University to refuse those in ill
health becoming students. This could
be done by subjecting everyone to a
physical examination as a part of the
entrance preliminaries.
There is more i'm life than being
an E student or making an honorary
fraternity. The first great requisite
of a person is good health. Those who
do not have good health. though they
do know great deal, have little to
their credit. They are not truly men
or women.
IL is surely the duty of the Univer- /
sity to see that the first requisite of
good living is not sacrificed to mere
mental power that cannot last long,
because it is not supported by physi-
al strength. /

THE PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT.

The story is told of how nearly
three-quarters of century ago a poor
county raised more than 100000 to
help establish the state university at
its county seat. Men made great sac
rifices to raise the money. Persons
who could neither read nor write gave
what in those days was a small for
tune.
The university was established.
The little country village became a
seat of learning and some one named
it THE Athens of the West" A half
century passed and the main part of
the University burned. Again the
public spirited citizens raised money
to rebuild the University. The spirit
of THE Athens of the West" still
lived.
As the approach of the twentieth
century neared the spirit of the
thirties and the forties aroused again
in the little village. This time the
spirit called for a civic pride that
paved streets. built new schools and
churches and otherwise made a mod
ern city out of the country village.
The story of Columbia and Colum-
bians is that of great and noble
spirit. None other could have accom-
plished what has been done. None
other would have sacrificed as it has
done that the cause of education
might live, grow and take SO high a
place in the life of the people

FARM ADVANCE.

March 4, James Wilson, sixteen
years Secretary of Agriculture, will re-
tire from the Presidents cabinet
The last annual report of Secretary
Wilson's is a review of the farm ad-
vance of sixteen years
At the beginning of Mr. Wilson's
cabinet service the yearly farm pro-
ductions were worth about four bill
lion dollars. The value of the 1912
crops is more than nine and one-half
billion dollars. The increase has been
steady since 1897, with the exception
OF 1911, when the value declined from
that of the preceding year.
The nations corn field for 1912 was
as large in area as Germany or France.
More than three billion bushels were
produced and the value is more than
three-fourth billion dollars.
Secretary Wilson leaves the cabinet
after a long period of almost stagger-
ing prosperity. He became the guar
dian of agriculture when it was yet
a babe; he will leave it tremendous
in size. The last year OF his service
was the crowning agricultural year OF
the nation.

convention in June 1913. This con-
vention will be held in Oklahoma City
the delegates being guests of the Nor
man chapter of the University of Ok
lahoma. The last convention was in
Boston. The Missouri chapter will
send several delegates to Oklahoma
City.
In speaking of the work of Phi Mu
Alpha in Columbia, DIR. Chester A.
Murray, president of the chapter, said:
The people have been more than ap-
preciative of the idea of having series
of good concerts assured to them per-
manently. Two facts might show
what We have been able to do. The
price has been lowered each year, till
this year, the gallery tickets at 20
cents each for high class music made
purely nominal admission for any
one who really cared to hear the
music. Then the increase in the at
tendance is worth noting. The first
year, six hundred and fifty tickets
were sold. This year the average at
tendance has been 115O.
"The larger crowds have enabled US
to lower the prices and to maintain
a reserve fund to insure the perma-
nence of the work. The appreciation
of the public would seem one proof
that We are accomplishing in a meas
ure what We started out to do-to fill
an actual want in the community for
good music, and at the same time to
create larger want And our motto |
here, has been all the time. Still bet
Ter next year."

GOOD MUSIC is ITS PURPOSE
Phi Mu Alpha Fraternity Has Chapters at
Seven Universities and Five Conservatives
What the Organization Has Done Here.

(Baltimore) and Broad Street (Phila
delphia) Conservatives. The organi-
zation publishes magazine for cir.
culation among its members, and the
Sinfonia Annual containing articles
of interest to the general music low
ing public.
Phi Mu Alpha was established at
the University of Missouri in 1907
In following the general idea of the
organization to adapt its methods of
work to the community in which it
is. the chapter here took up the plan
of bringing good musicians to Colum-
bia, as it's most effective work.
The establishment of a permanent
series of musical attractions year
after year was begun gradually. The
first and second years only one con-
cert was given each year. De Pach-
mann and Lhevinne were the first two
musicians to play in Columbia under
the auspices of Phi Mu Alpha. The
third year, the st. Louis Symphony
gave three concerts. The fourth year,
three soloists came. Madam Kirkby-
Lunn, contralto, Yolanda Nero, pianist
and NIischa Elman, violinist.
Last year Phi Mu Alpha offered four
concert series. and one extra number,
Jan Kubelik. Those for whom season
tickets were sold were: Madam Aida,
soprano; David Bispham, baritone;
Harold Bauer, pianist. and the FlOnza-
ley Quartet. This year the number of
included i'm the season ticket
Madam Gadski The Bruno Huhn vo-
cal quartet, and the FlOnzaley string !
quartet, and the viOlinist Zimbalist |
have already played. Two more are |
to follow, Tina Lerner, pianist and
the st. Louis symphony Orchestra.
One of the social features of the
chapter here was the dinner given in
honor of David Bispham, on the Oc-
,asion of his concert here. Mr. Bis
,ham is an honorary member of the
fraternity. In general the Missouri
hapter, however, has subOrdinated
he social feature to the work in CIV
ng the public concerts, though social
meetings are held with the members,
vhen part of the evening is usually
evOted to music.
Other members of Phi Mu Alpha
rho are well-known are George B.
'ortelyou, former Secretary of the
'reasury of the United States. George
hadwick of the New England Con- i
ervatory, a well-known musical COM Z
oser; Henry Russell, manager Of the !
oston opera house; Emilio de Gogo-
"a, the grand opera singer, and Fred
rick Stock, the famous orchestra di- a
ectOr. n
Last year a gold medal was given i
y Phi Mu Alpha for the best musical h
written by any American
an. whether a member of the or
anization or not This year the prize
as been increased to 500 besides the e
Did medal The organization hopes
arouse greater interest in musi-
IL composition in country of prac- Z
cal business men.
The winning composition will be
aged for the first time at the annual h

lHe EtHlCS OF hdStlile was tn'
, subject of a recent magazine article
Another treated Music and the Nov
} les" A third discussed, "How to Ele
vate the Standard of Musical Taste in
Your Town" And fourth was about
The Cultural Value of Good Music.
The first article decided that, as far
as ethics went, ragtime had a pretty
poor show of it. The second found
that the music of the picture shows
though cheap and trashy, was valuable
/ because the only kind of music great
many people ever have a chance to
hear. The third article said that the
best way to elevate the musical stand
ard of a town or to keep it elevated
after you got it there was to give the
people of that town an opportunity to
hear the best i'm music. The fourth ar
ticle showed that knowledge of good
music is an almost indispensable ele-
ment in all-round culture.
Now such articles in popular maga-
zines. while We may not agree with
any or all of their conclusions, are
significant. They prove that music can
not be ignored as factor i'm civilized
society. 1t may be bad music or indif-
ferently bad music, but people are 60
ing to have some other kind of music
when they have had no opportunities
of hearing good music. And, such ar
ticles as these are evidence, it would
seem, of a growing idea that a knowl-
edge and appreciation of the best in
music is part of a broad education,
whether one is a musically inclined
person or not.
Columbia is one of the small towns
having opportunities for hearing good
music. which many cities do not pos
sess through lack of an organization
to arrange for concerts by the worlds |
best artists. The fact that Columbia |
has in the last five years had each win
ter musical season practically the
same as i'm many of the larger cities
Of the country is due to an organiza-
ton among the faculty and students of
The University known as Phi Mu Alpha.
Phi Mu Alpha is national musical
md social organization whose
object is to develop and promote the
interest and appreciation of good
music in every possible way. The
adopted by the various chap
ers vary with the needs and oppor-
unities of their particular community.
The first chapter of Phi Mu Alpha
vas founded at the New England Con-
ervatOry of Music in 1898. 1t was
imply a local music club, called Sim
onia, a name which is still a part of
he title by which Phi Mu Alpha is {
nOwn. Sinfonia became such a sue !
essful and helpful organization at
he New England Conservatory that
he idea of a national organization {
( college men working in the inter- 4
SITS of good music developed. Phi G
Iu Alpha now has chapters in seven
and five conservatories of 6
lusic. The universities: Michigan, {
Iissouri, Syracuse, De Pauw, North c
'estern. Dennison (Ohio) and Okla t
oma. The conservatories are: New
