deeper than circumstance. 1t Is in
his nature. He has the tempera-
ment of the artist, not of the poll
tician. The artist lives by the in
tensity of his emotions and his i'm
pressions. The world of things is
colored and transmitted in the
calm of his mind. He is subjec-
tive, personal, a harp responsive
to every breeze that blows. The
breath of the May morning touches
him to ecstasy; the east wind chills
him to the bone. He passes quick
ly through the whole gamut of
emotion, tasting a joy unknown to
coarser minds, plunging to depths
unplumbed by coarses minds. He
is a creature of moods and mo-
ments, and spiritually he often dies
young. The successful politician
is made of sterner and harder stuff.
His view is objective. and the less
introspection he has the better, for
introspection palsies action. He ap-
plies his mind to things like me-
chanic. They are the material that
he moulds to his slow purposes. He
is not governed by them, but gov
erns them. He is insensitive to
impressions, and, if he has emo
tions and impulses, has learned,
like Gladstone, to be their master
and not their slave, to use them and
not to be used by them. He is, in
fact, a man of business, cold and
even in his enthusiasms,
not poet lit with the roselight of
romance. Walpole, Pitt, Chamber
lain, Asquith-these are the type of
the politician. Lord Rosebery's /
is that of Bryon rath- /
Pr than of these.-A. G.. Gardiner. (

sTTLING DIFFERENCES.

ne members of even the bes
gulated families-and churches
nave differences. The case We have
in mind concerns churches and a
school, and the highest court in the
state was asked to deliver its opin-
ion in the matter.
The Missouri Supreme court last
week settled a long standing dis
pute as to the validity of the union
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
and the Presbyterian churches. At
ter several years litigation the
union movement has been held
valid.
This last court opinion overrules
the decision of Justice Graves,
made in 1909, concerning church
property at Warrensburg. Other
church property and the Missouri
Valley College at Marshall were in
volved in the latest decision, as
we'll.
When union was decided upon,
the general assemblies of the two
churches were authorized under
their respective constitutions to
take steps toward effecting such
measure. The approval of the ac-
ton by the presbyteries of ths
churches-also a requisite of or
ganic law-makes the union valid.
Having been properly brought
about through these recognized le-
gal channels, individual members
are unauthorized to question the
action. The decision is in lire with
opinions in similar cases from the
United States Supreme Court and
eleven state supreme courts.

The Fountain of Youth.

Two middie-aged bachelors, bald,
dyspeptic and grouchy, were intro,
duced to each other at their club
one dismal February afternoon, and
were left to entertain each other.
81 remarked cleverly that the
weather was rotten. And the man
stared at me a moment and then
burst out: Yes, and let's get out of
it,
Where? / responded.
There was a map of the New
World on the wall and he suddenly
put back his chair, crossed over,
and drew huge circle about the
lower half of North America.
'Say!' he growled; let's get canoe
and paddle around the Gulf of Mex

The idea struck, and after a hur-
ried discussion of plans they de-
cided to start that day to find the

is kept up throughout, Charles
Tenney Jackson begins his story
of "The Fountain of Youth" 1t is
a fresh, outdoor story of the care

five months canoe trip through
the swamps of Louisiana. The peo-

The Literary Trawler
Lord R0sebery.

1t was said of Sir James Picton,
TINT brilliant hero of Waterloo, that
he would never have learned to
command because he had never
learned to obey. Lord Rosebery
never learned to obey. He served
no apprenticeship to life, and the
Inconsistency of the brilliant ANA
teur is over all he does. Above all,
he served no apprenticeship to
politics. Fortune, cruel in its kind
ness here as always, sent him
straight to the House of Lords.
Again. the palm without the dust.
What a mind, what endowments
the man has," said Mr.. Churchill,
speaking of him to me. "I feel
that If I had his brain I would
move mounpins. oh, that he had
been In the House of Commons!
There is the tragedy. Never to
have come into contract with real
tiles. never to have felt the pulse of
things-that is what is wrong with
Rosebery."
There is truth in this; but 1t is
not all the truth. He has, 1t is
true. the petulance and impatience
of the unschooled mind. But his

NAY DRAFT NEW BILL
League Of Municipalities VIII Con.

( DR.. Isidor Loeb, dean of the Uni.
versity faculty, went to Sedalis
yesterday to attend a meeting of the
League of Missouri Municipalities
He said the meeting would consider
a number of points of different in
terest.
ut is probable that at this meet
ing of the League, a committee will
be appointed to remove the defects
of the present law concerning CON-
mission form of government when
applied to cities of the size of Co
lumbia," said Doctor Loeb. "They
will probably be asked to frame a
new bill, and to request its passage
by the General Assembly at it's
meeting next month.
THE present law on the commits
sion form of government for Mis-
souri, cities has been pronounced
unconstitutional and void by Judge
Frank Diyelbiss in the Circuit
Court of Clay County. Most Of the
members of the League are con-
vinced that the act is invalid. They
expect such a committee to draft a
new and constitutional bill for pre-
sentation to the Legislature to be
selected at this meeting of the men,
bers of the League"

JOIN THE .SPUG' CROWD.

A few years ago a blind man re-
iceived picture book as a Christ
mas present. A newspaper man
heard of the case and wrote fun
ny story about the picture book
and the blind man. A genius read
the story and then his mind began
to work. He started the Society
for the Prevention of Useless Civ
ing. The step was widely recog-
nized as being in the right direc-
ton. The custom of giving Christ
mas gifts had grown to the point
where, in many cases, it blessed
neither him who gave nor her who
took, but imposed an unnecessary
burden upon both. The result was
in cumbering rooms with trash
which the owners would never have
bought for themselves.
But after two seasons of approx

C0LUMBIA,s NEEDY FAMILIES.

The Charity Organization Socie
tvs investigators found them-th,
sick and afflicted, the MANNED ant
aged, the widowed, trying to fighl
starvation from their children's
throats. They found them without
food, without coal, without light

There are now more than two
hundred families in Columbia who
are on the verge of want" the So
ciety says. There are 1850 resi-
dents of Columbia, according to the
latest directory. Surely there are
enough dollars among these 10000
to take care of the 200 who are suf-
fering. Surely there is enough of
human kindness in their hearts to
make them glad to be able to help.
mo. 1 won't give anything for
the Belgians," said a well-dressed
man last Friday when asked to con-
tribute to their relief fund as he
took a 10-cent cigar from his
mouth. I'VE have too many right
here in Columbia who need food"
And this man smokes 10-cent ci-
gars just about all day. He never
thought of smoking scent cigars
for a while and giving the nickels
saved to charity. He could have
contributed dime te the Belgians
and hao other dimes left for Co.
lumbia's needy had he curtailed mis-
own selfish indulgences. But that's
another story.
There has been a great hue and
cry about our needy this year. That
is one thing the Belgian fund move
ment in this country has done. 1t
has stirred up the spirit of giving
and has centered attention on those
right here who need our help.
What was given to the Belgians
hasn't broken anybody up. Most of
the donations were small. Added
together they bring life to a starv-
ing people. The United States
can well afford to help both the
Belgians and those at home who
need it.
This is an unusual year. 1t calls
for self-sacrifices from some. From
others only a crowding out of self
shness, a few pleasures given up
