HONOR FORMER PROFESSOR
William Linn Westerman to Address
Nebraska Alumni.

William Linn Westerman is a name
known to University students of from
six to twelve years ago. There are
many people in Columbia who remem-
ber him. He was assistant profess
sor of Latin and Greek in the Uni
versity of Missouri from 1902 to 1906.
The October number of the Nebraska
Alumnus announces that Professor

Alumni Association to deliver next
June the twentieth anniversary ad-
dress to the class of '94, of which he
is member. The article gives a
short biographical sketch of Professor
Westerman. Missourians who know
him will be interested in what he has
lone since leaving here in 1906.
Professor Westerman went from the
University of Missouri to the Universe
ty of Minnesota where he remained
5wo years as assistant professor of
ancient history. In 1908 he was made

WHY MORE THAN ONE WORD!

And now they tell us that the study
of languages, and, for that matter,
too fluent a vocabulary of ones own
speech, causes mental and moral in
decision.
This is the reason given: when the
mind knows two ways of expressing
the same thought it hesitates between
the two. From hesitancy in speech
to hesitancy in action is but step.
So the too-fiuent linguist becomes a
moral hesitater, always undecided.
This advice may sound consoling to
those who never could learn Ian
guages" or to those too lazy to use a
dictionary. But the most familiar
tongue is always the one which comes
to mind first. And a choice between
similar words in ones own tongue
should result not only in more precise
speech. but in clearer thinking as

How to Stop the Thefts.

In the Missourian Of October 8, a
letter appeared complaining of the
petty larceny which has been taking
place in the University. The writer
asked for some scheme whereby it
could be brought to an end. There are
two ways to end it
First one might try the scheme OF
not leaving ones belongings where
they are subject to theft. However,
this is difficult thing to accomplish
under the present circumstances.
Since one does not remain i'll the
same building for all classes a large
general locker room is not feasible.
However each class room could be pro-
vided with as many hooks as there
are seals and ones garments could
hang in plain view instead of outside
the door where the owner cannot see
them. as is the case with the rack out
side the library.
No one would be likely to walk Off
with another persons belongings if
they were hanging before the owners
eyes.
So why not persuade the proper au-
thorities to place an adequate number
of hooks in each class room, and then
perhaps so many articles would not be
missing.
They say that an ounce of preyen-
ton is worth a pound of cure, so why
not do something before all of our
clothes are gone. w. K. d.

WHISTLES FOR THE BLIND.

Whistles for the blind people is the
latest in civic welfare Canton, O.,
is the city where the idea is being
put to use. The safety directory OF
that city recently announced that his
department was going to distribute
whistles to all the blind people of the
city who go about the streets.
Whenever they become confused the
blind persons are asked to blow their
whistles. The public has been request
ed to respond to these appeals for help.
The practice will certainly be great
convenience to the sightless. 1t will
also relieve them and their friends
of much anxiety as it will bring a feel
ing of security.

THE CONTEST IN NEW YORK CITY.

By far the most interesting election
to be held this fall is that in which
New York City will choose officials to
hold office for the next four years.
The interest in this election is more
universal throughout the country than
the interest in any state election this
year, or, in fact, in most state elections
in any year. The contest will be un-
usually significant this year because
of the recent impeachment of the gov
ernor of the state by Tammany. The
struggle will center about the question
as to whether or not Tammany shall
continue to run the affairs of the CITY,
New York always has its own polit-
ical ways, and these are often puzzling
to outsiders. AS a rule the fight is be-
tween Tammany on the one hand and
on the other the Republicans, many
independent Democrats and various
other groups formed from time to time
by the Hearst independence League.
This year the Progressive party is also
in the field.
The chances of defeating Tammany
this year depend on the extent to
which the various groups agree upon
a ticket There must be a general
sacrifice of partisanship, and this year
partisan feeling seems to be running
high. Yet the feeling for non-parti-
san, business-like administration has
also been strong.
A fusion ticket has been named.
And the late Mayor Gaynor, the man
who gave to Tammany its most crush
ing defeat. was also nominated to sue
ceed himself on an Independent ticket.
His clean and business-like admins
tration of the city's affairs was ex-
pected to draw to his support many of
the independent votes in the city, but
his death will still further complicate

ROME, Oct. 20.-The Vatican today
announced the result of the first cen
sus which has been taken within the
walls in fifty years. Italy's law
guaranteeing the liberty of the pope
prohibits entrance within the Vati-
can of any official of the Italian gov
ernment for the performance of any
duty whatsoever. AS a consequence,
a census taker couldn't get into the
sacred walls. The Vatican announces
it has within its walls just 42O people.
These include the Swiss Guards and
