all-the-year-round movement. The
beautiful Columbia idea is several
years old and is gaining strength
every year, but it cannot gain its
full efficiency until its application
becomes an every day affair. A
cleanup revival every spring or an
annual cleanup day are well
enough, but they should not be the
whole program.
Right now is d splendid time to
put in a few good licks for clean
er Columbia. Clear away the sum-
mer's accumulation of weeds and
garden plants that have served
their time. Clean out the basement
before you put in your winter sup
ply of coal. That box of cans or
can be carted away as cas-
lily now as in the spring. Spring
cleaning would not be so necessary
if there were a little more fall and
winter cleaning. Don't wait till
spring.

is COLUMBIA DRY?

In recent issues of the Kansas
City Star and the University Mis-,
sourian there appeared an inter
view with l.. E. Hill, the genial con-
ductor on the branch line of the
Wabash, between Columbia and
Centralia. The article told of the
difference in Columbia since the
town went dry. Prohibition pro-
hibits," says Mr.. Hill. Why it
used to be that on Friday or Sat
urday nights half of this smoking
car would be filled with drunken
students. But not now. They are
forgetting liquor, and the longer
the town remains dry, the drier it
gets"
While this is true to a large de-
sree, the fact remains that some
students have not forgotten what
liquor is like, and that they have
other places than some dark alley
to get it. Even if the smoking cars
are not full of drunken students.
there may be a dozen cases of
booze" consigned to Columbia, in
the baggage car.
The liquor is here, whether, it
comes shipped directly to the con-
sumer, distributed by blind tiger
agents or whether the moon
sinners" and the stills have come I
to life again.
Columbia may be dry. but re-
mains altogether too wet

THE PRICE OF FREE SPEECH.

Harvard University has decided
at a possible cost of $4,000, 900
that it cannot afford to abridge
freedom of speech.
Prof. Hugo Munsterberg profes-
sor of psychology at Harvard, by
his pro-German writings, provoked
the wrath of Major Clarence Wien
er of London, who had proposed to
bequeath s1O,OOO,OOO to the Univer-
sity. In a letter to the Harvard au-
thorities, Major Wiener threatened
to withhold the legacy unless Pro-
fessor Munsterberg was dismissed.
Professor Munsterberg rendered
his resignation; it was refused.
Harvard could not afford to admit
ANY suggestion that it would be
willing to abridge free speech, to
dismiss a professor, or to accept
his resignation" for any such rea-
son.
Harvard would have suffered
from the loss of Professor Munster
berg. He is one of those Germans
who, like Carl Schurz, have made
the service of the American peo-
pie their life-work. His two books,
American Traits" and American
Problems" have shown him to be
a close student of American char
acteristics.
Even more serious would have
been the stain on the university's
honor. AS one of the worlds great
of learning, Harvard
should be consecrated to the quest
Of Truth. Free thinking, free
speech and free writing are the |
only indispensable weapons for this
Iuest. Ten million dollars is a
small sum to set against the loss of |
'ree speech. Free speech is an ar
icle the price of which is not to |
De estimated in millions of dollars.

PLAN 4.DAY SHORT COURSE
Farmers to Come I'm January for
Lecture and Demonstration.

A 4-day short course for farmers
during Farmers Week was out
lined at a meeting in Dean F. B.
Mumford's office last night. 1t will
begin January II. Sessions will
open at $3.50 o'clock each morning
and continue until 8 o'clock In the
afternoon. Each day there will be
from six to eight lectures and
demonstrations going on continu-
ously in different lines of farm
work. 1t has been arranged as
much as possible so that each per-
son can pick the subject in which
he is interested and attend lee
lures and demonstrations on those
subjects only.
The courses to be given are: Hor-
ticulture, entomology, farm man
agement, rural economics, animal
husbandry, farm crops, soils, dairy
husbandry, veterinary, poultry hus-
bandry and manual arts.

LET LAWYER CURE THE BABY.

We wouldn't call in the plumber
to paste paper on the walls of our
best rooms, would we? Nor We
wouldn't call the lawyer when the
baby is sick. Absurd, isn't it?
Yet We are doing just such fool
ish a thing. in many cases, when
we elect man to public office. We
train men for all service except
that of the public. We no longer
believe that because a man is an
expert brick layer he would neces-
sarily make a good railroad man
ager. We have no better right to
believe that the election of a man
by popular vote, or his appoint
ment by chief magistrate, without
apprenticeship makes him a good
constructor of roads or good
health officer.
This democracy of ours is a lit
tie too democratic. No man should
even be allowed to place his name
On the ballot unless he has been
trained for public service. Even
those who do get into Office and
learn the business thoroughly are
replaced by inexperienced men
about the time they become really
efficient. That's a wasteful, costly,
half-hazard way to run a govern
ment. Too much politics. Too
much politics.
A movement recently has been
started to have universities start /
schools for such training. These
schools would offer courses in mu-
nicipal, state, national and foreign /
service. Then the graduates of such
schools would serve apprenticeship
under public officers. After this,
they would come out for office. And
there are enough Offices to keep
them busy if the field was restricted
to trained men.
Who began this movement? No,
it wasn't a foggy, old college pro-
lessor looking for a job. The Amer
can Political Association suggest
ed the plan. And it has a special
pushing the matter.

The Literary Trawler

There is left upon my mind an
impression of the wonderful ef-
ficiency and the complete enthusi-
asm of the German Army. En-
bossed upon the belts of the Ger
man soldiers is the legend "Gott
nit uns" c'God with usD. They
believe it. They are a virile and
believing nation-such people
make a terrible enemy.-A. J. Dave.

The New Books
"The Authors Craft.

When Arnold Bennett forsakes
the writing of great novels for a
while in order to explain how he
writes them, few thoughtful read
ers can deny that his is indeed the
voice of authority. In "The Au-
thor's Craft" Bennett speaks from
the heart his ideas in regard to au-
thorship.
There are four main divisions of
the work, averaging about thirty
pages apiece. In the first, which
he heads Seeing Life" Bennett
talks on that pet obsession
of authors, observation. Naturally,
he has some revolutionary, or at
least very original, ideas. Bennett
wouldn't be Bennett otherwise.
In the second part, where he
takes up Writing Novels" this
master declares that a sense of
beauty and an intensity of vision
are the two necessary attributes.
In the third division, where he
discusses the matter of Writing
Plays" Bennett admits that he
would rather write two plays than
one novel, but that he would sooner
get seventy-and-seven novels pro-
duced than one play"
Part four closes the book with
a discussion of THE Artist and the |
Public Here Bennett takes up
the attitude of the literary man
toward those who read his pro-
auctions. The last paragraph warns
writer's against attempting to Sc
cure a ready-made interest through
Tipping into social reform. THE ar
list who yields" Bennett says, sis
ost."
It's a wonder he doesn't start a
society for the Prevention of War
