CITY AGAINST COUNTRY.

The drift of population toward the
urban and suburban areas in this coun-
try has been very marked within re-
cent years. We are fast becoming an
urban nation.
In 1900 the percentage of population
living in the oities and towns was 4O.5.
In 1910. it was nearly 46.3. Nearly
100000 Americans and immigrants,
who expect to become naturalized, live
in the cities and towns of over $500
population. During the decade cover
ed by the census, the rural population
gained only Ill per cent, while the
urban population gained nearly 40 per
cent.
In seven states, the rural popula-
ton has actually decreased, while
there is not single state or terri
tory in which the urban population
has not gained at least 10 per cent.
These facts are of the utmost impor-
tance. They bear on our food supply,
on our export of farm products, on
unemployment in cities and on con-
gestion with its physical and moral ill
effects.
immigration is a great factor in the
situation, for it is well-known fact
that the alien in this country rarely
seeks the farm. Even the agricultur-
al laborers and skilled farmers of
Southern Europe prefer to congregate
in the cities and do factory labor and
street cleaning rather than take their
chances in the country. How to dis
tribute these aliens better and to pro-
vide work for them has long been rec
ognized as one of our serious prob
Iems.
AS regards native Americans, there
Is need of back-to-the-farm move
nent as we'll as for the improvement,
If rural living conditions. Scientific
social life, the introduc-
ion of music and other arts, of the
telephone, rural free delivery and 9TH
# conveniences are counted on to
heck drift Of the young to the great
titles. but it is only by cooperation
nd organization of the rural COM
nunities that it will be possible to
these drawbacks to a life
therwise free, attractive, healthful
nd inspiring. |,

W. ]. BABB IS WICHITA MAYOR
Brother Of ]. G. Babb Wins Campaign
With 500 Expense.

W. ]. Babb, brother of ]. G. Babb
secretary of the University, was elect.
ed mayor of Wichita, Kan. in the las,
election. The vote for Mr.. Babb was
7.615 and for his opponent, who was
formerly mayor, 1854.
Mr.. Babb received a B. S. degree
from the University in 1873 and LII.
B. in T6.
The Wichita Beacon comments on
his election as follows:
"The election of Mr.. Babb follows
the most remarkable campaign ever
made in Wichita for the Office of
mayor. and it challenges the commun-
ity with singular force. It seems to
point out that Wichita will be able
hereafter to select a mayor with dis
cernment in spite of ferocious cam
paign of abuse and vituperation. It
ought to put a stop to future use of
yellow journalism in city politics.
Mr.. Babb's campaign occupied a lit
tie less than twenty days from the
time he entered the race in the
primaries to yesterdays election, and

MEN AND STRAW HATS.

Men delight to call women the
slaves of fashion. They enjoy berating
them for their devotion to its DEGREES
But nine times out of ten these very
men are bigger towards before the
dictates of fashion than woman ever
dreamed of being. The straw hat is
the biting test.
Every city and community has men
who rise in times of need and prove
themselves heroes. They will brave
the flames, battle with swirling floods
and protect women and children from
peril. But before the dictates of GUS
tom they will fail miserably There
are many species of bravery. The man
who would rush to battle for his coun-
try would not dare venture out with
the first straw hat of the season and
receive the unkind glances and the
pert remarks of his fellows in the
street.
But there always arises some cour-
ageous individual who appears with
the first straw, and who goes his way
undaunted between April showers or
at the risk of March winds.
We need more definite guide in the
determination of the proper time to
don the first straw hats. OF course
the date would differ widely as We go
north or south of the equator. The
men of Havana blossom forth with
straw hats while the men of Colum-
bia are still debating the advisability
and the men of Quebec are clinging
contentedly to their comfortable felts

and Sewer Sanitation" and Enforce
ment Of Public Health Measures" are
important subjects to be discussed.
Practically one-half of the deaths
among infants in Columbia are due to
pulmonary and intestinal diseases.
These diseases are preventable. Few
cities of 10000 have such comprehen-
sive health ordinances as Columbia.
The city ordinances regulating water
supply, sewers, the disposal Of gar
bage. the care Of milk, cream and but
ter are adequate safeguards to public
health If enforced. But these meas
ures are not enforced.
They cannot be enforced until there
is a public demand for enforcement.
The Civic League has started to create
this demand. 1t is a necessary step
in making these measures effective.
Excellent health ordinances passed
by the City Council in 1905 have never
been enforced. Few citizens know
there are such measures in Columbia
They cannot be enforced until the
citizens recognize their value and cali
for their enforcement. The Civic |
League has made the proper begin
ming. The people must be educated
before they will use proper precautions

Editor the Missourian: Now comes
some student who wants to wear white
trousers and a blue serge coat to the

MEANING OF THE CANAL.

1t is expected that the opening of the
Panama Canal will be accompanied by
an almost worldwide commercial i'm.
petus. Already preparations are be.
ing made in the ports of the Gulf and
Pacific coasts, western South America
and in Japan to take advantage of the
new trade that is anticipated.
At this time it is impossible to CON-
prehend the enormous commercial
advantage that the canal will give to
the United States. Panama, with its
saving of nearly 5000 miles. will prob
ably divert practically all our Aus
tralian traffic from the Good Hope
route. The same is true in regard to
the Japanese trade. And IL toll rates
at Panama are low. much European
traffic will probably prefer the new
canal to the Good Hope route, where
coaling stations are few and prices
high.
The route from the United States
and Europe around the continent of
South America by way of the Straits
Of Magellan will in all probability lose
all the traffic going over it. Not only
will the new route divert the traffic
from the older and longer routes but it |
will create a new and vast volume of |
business.
A writer in a recent number of
Worlds Work says that the people
of Chile are expecting five-fold in
crease in trade with the United States
in the next decade as a result of the
canal. Fortunes await the develop
ment of the vast resources of the re-
publics to the west of the Andes.
After all, the enormous capital that 1t
cost to build the canal will be an in
yestment with great returns.

mind.

l do not believe in doing anything In
a halfway manner. Either make 1t
a dance for the few or arrange SO that
everyone may 60 who desires.

trousers are out of season at this time.

also says that johnson Angle may al

In regard to that matter I wish to
say that the average student who has
only about a dollar that he can call
his own has other things that the
"would-be sport" can never hope to
accomplish.
1t seems to me that one should be
allowed to wear either a dress suit or
white trousers as he may see fit.
This will place a restriction on only a
very few, if any one at all. 1 do not
believe in this argument that we

SHAM BATTLE IN STUNT WEEK
Armies Of Defense and Attack TO BE
Farm University Cadet Regiment.


The University cadet regiment will
have sham battle on the State Farm
during Stunt Week. The regiment will
be divided in two parts. Two COM
panies supported by battery OF
three pieces will defend a fort. Four
companies with a field gun will be the
attacking force.
The battle will probably open with
cannon duel at long range covering
the advance of the attacking force.
The advance will consist of company
rushes until the heavy fire zone is
reached and will then be replaced
by platoon or squad rushes.
The defense will be driven out of
their entrenchments and forced to fall
back and finally captured. The for
NAL surrender which was a feature
of last years sham battle may be CIV

A hospital corps will be on the field
with equipment to care for the

four Of these days he was confined to
his home by sickness.

four of these days he was confined Il
his home by sickness.
HE didn't make a speech. He spen
less than an hour altogether shakin,
hands with the people who came t
see him. He didn't hire a single auto
mobile or helper at the polls. The en-
tire expenses of his campaign are lest
than 5000 which was expended fol
printed matter and advertising.
when Judge Babb's friends became
excited and urged him to employ some
people to look after the situation In
various parts of the city and help gel
out the vote, he said:
"I have read the Corrupt Practices
Act and Article Eleven of that act alb
solutely prohibits such expenditures
as you suggest. I never thought a
man running for a position which
places law enforcement under his
charge ought to begin his career by
violating the law In his campaign.
The Corrupt Practices Act absolutely
prohibits this form of campaigning
and l shall not violate that act. The
mere fact that it has not been taken
seriously in former campaigns is no
reason why I should not take it seri-
ously.'
Mr.. Babb absolutely followed this
course. He didn't have a single
automobile or carriage hired to haul
people to the polls. He had not en-
ployed anyone to poll the town or to
stand at the polling places and check
of the voters as they came in, and his
majority is in the neighborhood of
5000.
1T is a gratifying result and Judge
Babb's attitude in the matter from
the beginning is a gratifying indica-
tion that Wichita will have a mayor
who will not regard the law as a thing
to fit to his own purposes and de-
sires, but as a thing to be obeyed to
the letter"
