Resolutions

At a call meeting of the John NJ.
Stone Camp, No. 131, United Con-
federate Veterans, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were past:
Whereas. in the years 1866. 1866 and
1867 the United States Government did
levy and collect q tax. known as a cot
ton tax, ranging from five to seven
dollars on each bale of cotton raised in
the several cotton states; and
Whereas, the stated amount collect
ed from this cotton amounts to Sixty
Million (more or les) Dollars; and
Whereas, the Supreme Court of the
United States has declared the levying
and collecting ofthis tax was u~nconsti-
tutional and unjust; and
Whereas, this sixty million dollars is
now and has been for forty-seven years
in the United States treasury; and
Whereas. a number Of men and wo-
men are still living who labored hard to
produce this cotton<and paid this tax.
They are now old and decrepid but still
have to toll for their daily bread; there
fore, be it,
Resolved that the United States hav-
ing unfairly collected this tax. it should
not unjustly withhold it from the legal
owners any longer. but should at once
return it to the several states who paid
it according to the amount paid by
each state.
Resolved further, That the United
States should have no right to say what
disposition each state should make OF
its portion of this sixty million dollars,
as it is not the property of the United
States Government but the property OF
the States that paid it.
Resolved further. That this money
should be returned and used as a PEN
sion fund to pension all worthy Con-
federate Veterans and their widows.
Resolved, That a copy of this pream-
Bile and these resolutions be mailed to
Hon. John Sharp Williams and Hon.
James X. Vardaman, U. S. Senator'S,
and Hon. E. S. Gambler, Congressman.

New Years is the usual time for
the smokers, drinkers, and all those

ed it, revolutions.
Students have a different time. If
all the good resolutions should be
kept which have been made last week,
the University of Missouri would be-
come known as model educational
institution.
Many of them will be kept. Some
will be kept only week; then the
would-be student will begin to fire.

But that is no reason against max
ing a resolution to do more of that
for which you came to college. Even
if it should be kept only a day or
week, il is worth just that much.

"Wet" or "Dryr

Editor the Missourian The first
real test of the relative strength of
the wet" and dry" forces in the
western half OF Missouri is about to
be made The fight has centered upon
the appointment of United States
marshal for the western district and
the efforts of the Anti-Saloon League
to prevent the appointment of John
TObin of Kansas City to that office.
The Office of United States marshal
is an important one from the stand
point of the liquor question, for upon
this officer and his deputies depends
the success of the new Webb Bill
against the shipment of liquor into dry
territory. 1t will be the duty of the
United States marshal to seize these
shipments and to secure evidence
against the law violators. Since the
marshal has the power to select his
own deputies, the responsibility for
the success of this law rests largely
upon this appointment.
The United States officer receives
his appointment from President Will
son through the recommendation of
the United States Senators. Temper
ance people from all over the district
are writing TO the President and to
Senators Reed and Stone protesting
against the appointment of Tobin.
These officials should defer to the will
Of the people in making their recon-
and appointments and in
case they do not the voters should see
TO it that they are promptly retired
from office. The success of any law
depends upon its enforcement and to
a certain extent the voters can affect
this enforcement by seeing to it that
the proper men are appointed or
elected to office f.

Editor the MissOurian:-Ho to put
to constructive use the present appall-
ing expense of the United States army
and navy and still be prepared tC
avoid war by being prepared is prob
lem that is coming more forcibly to
the attention of citizens every day.
Secretary of War Garrison and the
New York American have recently
made proposals that give a wealth Of
promise.
Combined, the two plans seem to be
almost perfect; yet in being carried
out the combination presents nothing
that would require superhuman ability.
This is the combined plan:
Instead of building so many power
full ships for the navy the Government
could either construct or subsidize a
vast fleet of commercial ships, which
in number would far exceed the navy
OF any other country. Battle equip
ment in the way of guns and amuni
ton would be kept at the ports and
navy yards so that the fleet could be
equipped short order. On the rivers
and lakes another feet of ships would
be maintained which could be used
as torpedo ships and the like. All these
ships would be especially constructed
so that they could be used in war.
In place of the present military
academy would be number of
national universities that would train
men both as soldiers and as tradesmen
and mechanics Men would be taught
trades and professions without cost to
themselves. In addition they would
be given good military training. Thou
sands of men would go to these
schools, for they could go directly
into industrial life instead of going
into an army where idleness consumes
large part of the time. The one
obligation would be that in case OF
war these men would be required to go
to the front In addition there would
be more advanced schools for officers. !
similar to the present academy, but
which would also give more training
for life as a civilian. BY these means |
the country would not only avoid the .
present great waste of funds but would |
be as well prepared for war as under
the old plan.
At present the lives of thousands OF
good Americans are being thrown
away in service in the army and navy.
They are adding practically nothing
to the country and the idleness is max
ing poorer men out of many Of them.
Moreover their support is a milestone
around the neck of industry. II
What small portion of the army
has done in Panama ought to foretell
a day of greater constructive use for
the United States soldier. 1t is to be
hoped that the men of power at Wash
ington will see a vision in the con-
struction of Panama and make plans
for more useful army and navy. N.

VIEWPOINTS
State Prohibition by Small Units.

Editor the MissOurian:-If you were
asked to give the most significant in
dication of the present trend of public
opinion toward the saloon, what would
your answer be? The fact that it is
becoming a disgrace for city to vote
for saloons? The growing interest
in anti-saloOn work which the college
and university men are taking?
1t would be easy to mention many
others, but is not the stand which is
being taken by the influential press
of the country the most significant?
The Kansas City Star of January 81
printed column and a half editorial,
taken from the Philadelphia North
American. With it was a map of Illi-
nois, showing the growth of local op-
tion, reprinted from the Chicago Trib-
une. In the papers named, you have
three of the six most influential and
best paying papers in the United
States. Each is taking decided stand
against the liquor traffic
1t seems that another editor was
right who said that the men engaged
in the liquor traffic were foolish
enough to tackle buzz saw. Whom
the gods would destroy. they first
make mad" Give the devil enough
rope and he will hang himself"
Missouri voted wet" in 1910 by the
largest majority of any state. The
saloonists at once became insilent
and overbearing. Result: more than
100000 more people live in no-license
territory in Missouri today than at the
time of the 1910 election.
The 1913 report of the Anti-Saloon
League of Missouri shows that fifty
three elections have been held since
the statewide vote. Forty-eight were
won by the "drys." There were eight
cen elections in 1918. All but one We're
victories for temperance.
But the greatest fact OF all is that
the victories were mostly in large
county seats such as Mexico, Macon,
Nevada and Fayette. These centers
acted as feeders" for the dry terri
tory around them.

PiGANISM OR IDLENESS!

There is no mistake in the answer
of Kansas City to the challenge of
paganism. More than half of the city
went to church Sunday. In addition,
many converts were made without eX-
ira effort The great feature of this
answer to the challenge is that it
came without a greatly organized and
continued campaign.
When Billy Sunday goes to a city
for six weeks evangelistic campaign
it seems that nearly every person in
the city is thinking seriously of relig
ion in a few weeks. His meetings
probably are the greatest religious
awakenings of the present generation.
But they are preceded by several
weeks of concentrated organization.
prayer and material preparation.
There is even a corporation formed
to carry on the financial burden of
the campaign.
In Kansas City the response came
almost spontaneously. This condi-
ton seems to show that we are not
so much in danger of paganism as of
simple idleness. 1t seems that the
churches simply need a greater spirit
of work, just the will to do plain. hard
work.

In evil their sons are sunk;
What is it has brought them there?

OF seven men out of ten;
From bunk big fortunes are made

Are partial to bunk, indeed.
We applaude the bunk in the play,
We like the bunk in the book;
There is bunk in the poets lay
And bunk in the ladys look;
There is bunk in the statesmans
speech
And bunk in the smooth mans
smile;
Bunk is the thing that each
Is falling for all the while.
Bunk, bunk, bunk! This is the age of
bunk!
1t comes in every shape;
1t comes in every guise;
There seems to be no escape
For the foolish or for the wise;

And what most men think renown,
Is nothing more nor less,
If the truth may be written down.
