SHOULDN'T WE RE.NUMBER 'EMi

Who in Columbia has not been more
or less ''peeved" by the present lack
of method in street numbering?
To the man acquainted with the city,
numbering does not mean so much un-
less he attempts to direct others. To
the man familiar with the usual num-
bering of city houses, the conditions
here are an aggravation, to say the
least. To the man unused to city,
the lack of system in Columbia is a
calamity. Columbia has a constantly
changing community in the student
body and for their sake, If for no other,
house numbering should be systematic.
To go confidently to a house when
you have a number and ring the bell
with pleasant anticipations of your
friends greeting, only to be met at the
door by stranger who politely tells
you your number is four blocks down
the street, is a severe shock to your
self-esteem, 1t is with feeling of
chagrin that you inquire your way
about as would the veriest stranger.
A little Remembering work by the
city officials would bring order out of
chaos, an6 the citizens would rise in a
body and call them blessed.

The New Books
aSaturdar,s Child.

Fridays child is loving and giving;
But Saturdays child must work for
her living"
1t is a happy, smiling Susan Brown
of Irish-blue eyes and dimples one
first meets in Saturdays Child writ
ten by Kathleen Norris, the author OF
Mother" We laugh with her when
she jollies the boarders in the cheap,
yet respectable boarding house whose,
halls reek with the smell of boiling
cabbage and beef. One adores the
sunny Susan who gives little bounce
of joy as she seats herself in a restau-
rant with blunt, honest Billy Oliver
to eat sardines and drink pale ginger
ale while make-believing it is terrapin
and champagne. We like to sit with
her in the Office where she earns her
living adding figures and dreaming of
marrying her employers son.
But one is a little disappointed with
her later when she enters San Fran
cisco's high society as the paid COM
pany of one of the social leaders. Here
she is in a different world from her
old world 1t uses another code of
morals, different language. She be-
comes cultured and takes well in
high society. She becomes Miss Sue
Brown.
Comes the time when she must
either go back to the old life of pow
erty or leave for Europe with liter
airy man, a married man, under a
promise he will get divorce and make
her his wife. One is sorry when Miss
Sue Brown loses her grip on herself
and goes on board ship to sail with
him. But one is ready to shout for
joy when. an accident prevents her
from sailing.
Then comes the fearful, sorrowing
Susan. One doesn't like her that way
at all. We can't altogether. blame her
for what she has lone, but we wish
she had not gone quite so far. The old
boarding house is hateful to her, now
that she has to return to it. She has
had her taste of wealth.
Follows the struggle to find herself
in the world. She does. 1t comes in
service to others. She discovers she
loves Billy Oliver. Life with him
means the old fight against poverty.
But love wins. And afterwards, when
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1914-10-25

she and Billy have sacrificed each for
the other, and have worked together,
and at last have "a garden where her
babies can make mud-pies and play,
Sue, the laughing Susan again, says;
We've been through some times,
Bill! But isn't it wonderful toto do
it together-to be married?"
Mrs. Norris book is story of a
poor girls struggle against the money
standard when tempted by it, to prove
that love and service, after all, only
are worth while. AS old Mrs. Carroll
tells Sue: you want happiness, we
all do And there's only one rule for
happiness in this world, Sue, and that's
service"
The book is well written, though
packed with homely details. Yet at
times it drags, because of the numer-
GUS characters introduced in which
the reader has no interest. Mrs. Norris
gives too much space to the affairs of
these minor characters.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR SENATORS

Just what, Mr.. Voter, do you expect
the man you send,to Congress or to the
State Legislature to do? Do you ex-
pect the senator or representative to
stand by the platform he ran on, come
what may? Or should he be diplo-
mat always with an eye to his chances
of being returned to his Job when cleo
ton time comes around again?
What do you do day by day? Are you
doing those things which you as cit
izen of the state and Nation should do?
You stand on a platform whose three
strong planks are honesty, hndliness
and truthfulness. If you are honest
in what you do, in your business deal
ings, with yourself and your neighbors
then you are standing by that plank
in your platform-the platform of ev-
cry goou cltlZen.
If you are kindly to those with
whom you come in contact; if you help
your fellow man instead of growing
and kicking at him; if you are thought
full of the little things which mean So
much to those who love you-then you
are standing by that plank which
should be firmly nailed on every mans
platform.
Speak the truth, act the truth by
avoiding sham and pretense, acknoyl-
edge the truth by recognizing that a
man is a man. and you have lived up
to the strongest board in that platform.
So with the senator or representa-
tive. Those three planks should al
ways come first no matter what ar
ticles the political party he repre-
sents drew up for him to observe. If
the senator or representative cannot
with honesty, with kindly justice to
others, or cannot with truth to his bet
ter self vote for party measure he
should not do so. Not even if he. was
elected OH a platform containing that
measure. Time and its demand
change.
For it's Gods platform--honesty,
kindliness and trutnfulness. Con-
science is the party. God made us
members of that party before man
drew up his political differences. Sem
ators and representatives. you and l,
all, should stand by that party no
matter what men may say-men may
do. To it our allegiance is first due.
