The Literary Trawler
The Writer'S Work.

ANY literary work which conveys
faithful facts or pleasing impress
sions is a service to the public. 1t
is even a service to be thankfully
proud of having rendered. The
slightest novels are a blessing to
those in distress: not chlorOform
itself a greater. Our fine old sea
captains life was justified when
Carlyle soothed his mind with
"The Kings Own" or "Owen Fors-
ter" To please is to serve; and so
far from its being difficult to in
struct while you amuse, it is diff
cult to do the one thoroughly with
out the other. Some part of the
writer or his life will crop out in
even a vapid book; and to read a
novel which was conceived with
any force, is to multiply expert
ence and to exercise the sympa-
thies. Every article, every piece of
verse. every essay, every entrefilet,
is destined to pass. however swift
ly, through the minds of some por-
tion of the public, and to color,
however transiently, their thoughts.
The writer has a chance to
stumble, by the way on some
thing interesting, something en-
couraging, were it only to a single
reader. He will be unfortunate, in
deed, if he suit no one. He has
the chance, besides, to stumble on
something that a dull person shall
be able to comprehend, and for a
dull person to have read anything
and, for that once, comprehended it,
makes a marking epoch in his edu-
cation.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

"FEELING FINE, DOCTOR

The wheels in our mills are hum
ming again. The levee negroes,
singing, are busy loading cotton
bales for shipment and the south
ern planter is smiling once more.
The line of men seeking work is
steadily shortening. Here and there
it is being heard that goods cannot
be delivered as promptly as they
are wanted because the factories
are too busy.
The world abroad has turned to
the United States for its supplies.
An import excess of 20 million dol
lars in August has been changed
to an export excess of about so
million in October. The deficit in
our bank reserves in New York,
which sank to 43 millions in Au-
gust, has risen to surplus of near
ly Is millions.
Clearing house certificates are
being retired. Wheat embargoes
have been lifted and the cargoes of
wheat are bringing back stream
of gold. Money is available for f.
nance and enterprises.
We are simply feeling fine after
that August attack of financial bill

pers for the starving Belgians. The
plan was to obtain enough food and
clothing to fill one ship, but now
there is enough cargo for two ships
and more coming.
People in all walks of life are
eager to give their money, from
the baby's penny to the $1,000 check
of the millionaire. One noticeable
thing is that the poor seem to be
giving much more than the rich.
There have been a few $1,000 dona-
tions, several score of 500 and any
number of $50, $40 and $40 ones.
But the great mass of the fund was
made up of IS, 81 and 81 bills, no
small proportion of it in quarters,
dimes, nickels and pennies.
A remarkable feature of the do
nations was the number of negroes
who contributed. Scores of boys
and girls in the cities have turned
over their little pig and toy banks.
Old pieces of jewelry and rare coins
have been given to swell the fund.
And then to think that we meet

erybody is lust looking out for

THE STARVING BELGIANS.

Whatever our individual attitude
may be in regard to the war in Eu-
rope, we are all united in the feel
ing of deepest sympathy for the
Belgians who have been obliged to
suffer the heaviest burden. So
many battles have been fought in
Belgium in the past few centuries
that it has been called "the cock
pit of Europe"
In spite of bloodshed and sorrow,
the Belgians have always stood for
the highest. One of the earliest
schools of music fiourished in Bel
GUM, and one of the earliest
schools of art was established there.
The Belgians have given to the
world some of the greatest artists,
musicians, and writer's and have
done so much in commerce that
all nations have cause to praise
them.
Perhaps the man who adds to the
Belgian relief fund does not think
of this past history of the Belgians.
It's the nature of Americans to help
the fellow who is down and out, IL
he deserves it. There seems to be
no limit to the magnificent philan-
thropy of the American people. One
day last week persons in Philadel-
phia subscribed more than $4,000
to the fund started by the newspa-

FROM SCRUB COMES A TIGER
Philip Savage Proves Missouri
Spirit of Making Good.

If you are looking for concrete
examples of the Missouri Spirit
that you hear about, take Philip S.
Savage. Savage has been trying,
trying, trying for four years. Two
weeks ago he reached the aim of
all those years of hard work. He
played on the team against anoth-
er Valley team. Then last Satur-
day he played on the team again
against another Valley team.
Phil Savage was a scrub. Every
year some other man edged into
the team little ahead of Phil
That does not mean that Savage
was not a good football player. One
reason why he did not get ahead
was that he played position where
he could not give the best of him
self.
He got a new position. When
things looked a little bad in the
back field, Savage got a chance.
He made good. He did the same
kind of work at Drake that Mis-
souri, rooters saw him do in the
Washington game. Now Phil Saw
age is not scrub, he is unit of
the Tiger Squad. Perhaps he may
face the Kansas Jayhawkers.
During those four years of ap-
premiership, when there never
seemed a chance for him, Phil went
right along. He did not shirk. He
came out for practice as regularly
as the regular men on the team.
He did not grumble about his work,
he did not LAY down." He tried.
Phil Savage has been trying in
track and in basketball. He may
not wear an NJ when he leaves the
University, but he will have the
of knowing and having
others know that he gave the best
of himself all the time.

The Open Column
Useless Clubs.

Editor The Missourian:-ln ev-
cry college town is seen the ten
deney of the students to organize
into social groups. The tendency
is particularly marked about the
campus of the University of Mis-
souri,. The student body here is
over-organized. There are socie-
ties with Greek letters, there are
societies with freak names, there
are clubs without purpose and
there are clubs that never meet.
There are organizations whose
members have only one duty-to
wear pins; there are organizations
proclaiming themselves to be "hon-
or societies" that dishonor their
names with beer parties"
The University would be better
off if there were fewer societies. An
example of over-organization is
found in one of the smaller schools
of the University-a school with
fewer than $50 students. There
are five societies. Two at most
could cover the field.
The result of such a condition is
that scarcely a man in the school
who belongs to one of the societies
does not belong to at least one
more and some are members of
three or four clubs. Thus the men,
bership is restricted largely to
field that would be elected to men,
bership if there were only one So
ciety. Only one set of men gain
entrance to the organizations. The
rest are left out, with correspond
ing jealousy or i'll feeling.
In the school mentioned, and in
the other divisions of the Univer-
sity as well, men join societies and
pay lOI thC pllNiCSC VI WCdihS I
pins. 1t is a costly procedure. In
itiation fees in a number of organ
izations mount up to striking to-
tai which might better be spent in |
more fruitful activities. The SOON
er this lesson in economy, that of .
passing by the numerous bids Of
membership in one club or another,
is learned, the sooner a man has
earned his right to the title of be-
ing student in an institution of
higher learning.
Already this year at least two
more societies are in process of or

ATHENAEANS TO NATIONALIZE
Debating Society Trying to Form
ORGANIZATION With Schools.

The Athenaean Society Of the
University of Missouri has taken
steps to form a national organiza-
ton of collegiate debating socie-
ties, under the name of The Ath-
enaean Society. At the last reg
ular meeting of the society a COM
mittee of three members, Duane
Tice, Asbury Roberts, and H. K
Poindexter, were appointed to get
in touch with the debating socie-
ties of the other colleges and uni
versities in the country.
1T will be benefit to the men,
bers of the Athenaean Society and
will be of help to Missouri in in
tercollegiate debating contests"
said Mr.. Tice, chairman of the COM
mittee, I'VE will be able to keep
in touch with the representative
debating organizations in all the
universities and colleges in the
country, and in this way be in
formed of the nature of the SUBJ
jects for the intercollegiate de-
bates all over the country. When
any college or university has de-
bated question which Missouri is
to debate we will know of it at
once and will obtain additional in
formation on the question. Also,
We can keep a line on all intercol-
legiate debaters who might come
to Missouri from some other uni
versity."
The plan is to perfect a tempor-
ary national organization by call
ing meeting of Representatives
from the various debating organ
izations in the colleges and univer-
titles of the middle west at st.
Louis either during the Christmas
or the Easter holidays. This is the
first time that a movement has
been set on foot to form a national
collegiate organization of debating
societies.
The Athenaean Society of the Uni
yersity of Missouri is the Oldest
student organization of its kind |
west of the Mississippi River, but |
it never has been affiliated in any
way with any other student or
1t has an illustrious
past. Some of the most noted
graduates of the University have
been on its membership roll, in
Senator w. j. Stone of
Missouri, Senator Catron of New
and the late Senator At
kins of West Virginia. Eugene
Fields, the child's poet, was an
Athenaean. Luther T. Collier of
Kansas City, the Oldest living
ilumnus Of the University, is one
,f its charter members. Mr.. Col
ier is at present writing a history
'f the organization of the society.
This will be published as a part of
complete history of the Athenae-
ms which is being prepared by N.

THE MAN CALLED "BOBS."

When a man becomes great in
the eyes of the world and with his
greatness so endears himself to the
people that they forget titles and
formalities and call him by some
affectionate nickname, he must
have very unusual qualities.
So it as with "Bobs," Lord Rob-
erts, England's oldest general and
most popular war hero, who died
near the battle line in France Sat
urday. He was a man of action,
and his fame rested on his own
works. For more than fifty years
he fought for England, making for
himself a brilliant and spectacular
career, more spectacular because,
though a small man, he was not
afraid to throw himself into per-
sonal encounters. And he always
won As he was advanced he met
his new responsibilities success
fully. Time and again after others
had failed in undertakings he took
hold of them and brought victory to
England
These verses from Kipling's trib-
ute characterize the man in a fit
ting way:
What e does not know of war.
Central Bobs,
You can arsk the shop next door
Can't they, Bobs
Oh, 'e's little, but 'e's wise;
Els terror for is size,
An'-'e-does-not-advertise-
Do yer, Bobs?
Now they've made a bloomin' lord
Outer Bobs,
Which was but is fair reward
Weren't it, Bobs
An ell wear a coronet
Where is 'elmet used to set;
But we know you won't forget
Will yer, Bobs?"
Born at the front, fighting a life |
time at the front, and at SO years
of age returning to the front to
look after some of his "boys," dur
ing which duties he contracted |
pneumonia and died, is it any won
der that Tommy Atkins called him
"Bobs," kings and queens and en-
perors decorated him, and a whole
nation mourns him?
