THE SHORT COURSE.

The short course for farmers al
the University of Missouri is only
another way the College of Agri-
culture has for being direct help
70 the farmers of this state.
Practical instruction in almost
all branches of the regular course
is what the short course gives
During the four terms which they
attend, the short course students
learn in the quickest and most
practical way the methods of farm
ing taught in the regular course.
The students, whom the short
course brings to Columbia, are real
ly farmers who come here to learn
how to make their farm a better
one. They are wide, awake men
who own farms or are sons of pro-
gressive farmers. They are men
who have come to get all they pos
sibly can out of the course and
they intend to use every bit they
get while here. Some have even
written letters telling they would
be a week late on account of put
ting stock on feed or gathering
corn. They are right off the farm
This year new courses are Of
fered in concrete building and
poultry farming. Much new work
for women is given.
During the seventeen years that
the short course has been given
1880 farmers have attended.
The practical good the short
course is doing is shown by a sur
vey of the work of short course
students a few years ago. The
short course men were raising 45
bushels of corn on an acre while
the average of the state was only
20. Two short course students
were in the stock judging contest
at the State Fair this year and each
won a first prize.
The short course is given at a
time of year when there is the least
to do around the farm. The in
crease in attendance each year
shows its growing popularity
among the farmers.

LID LAWS OF MISSOURI.

Another victory for the "drys.
Also a victory for the licensed sa-
loonkeeper, when the Supreme
Court of Missouri, in a decision last
week, placed a ban on the sale OF
liquors by clubs in Missouri. The
ruling is applicable to all, from
the aristocratic and exclusive or
ganizations down the scale to the
so-called lid" club. Approx
mately 5000 clubs stand an ex-
cellent chance of being put out OF
business.
The opinion of the court, which
was written by Justice Robert F.
Walker also declares that it will be
an impossibility for them to OBJ
tain licenses as dramshops, as 1t is
impossible for corporations to pro-
cure dramshop licenses. The opin-
ion was written in the proceedings
instituted by Circuit Attorney
Thomas B. Harvey of st. Louis to
deprive the st. Louis Club and the
Missouri Athletic Club of their
charters. These clubs have abused
their franchises and privileges in
the sale of liquor, but they will not
be ousted as long as the clubs in
good faith desist from the sale of
liquor.
The decision will in a great
measure prevent the sale of liq-
uor on Sunday. The greatest good
that the law will bring is the fact
that all men will be placed on an
equal footing in regard to the liq-
uor question. 1t is in no sense
fair to permit a club of men of
wealth to buy their liquor at an un-
licensed place simply because the
place happens to be finely equip
ped clubroom and the drinks" are
served in glasses of the finest crys-
tai over a mahogany table. 1t is
none the less a crime to have the
drinks" served over a gambling
table in some hovel or dive" ac-
cording to a fair and impartial in
depreciation of the law.

"THE LAST DOLL is GONE.-

Heinrich was a German toy
maker. All day he worked in his
little shop painting smiles on the
faces of a thousand baby dolls
which gladden. the hearts of a
thousand little mothers at Christ
mas time. Sometimes his skillful
fingers wound springs and fastened
them in tiny, iron engines which
go rushing around and around tin
tracks accompanied by the delight
ed shouts of midget railroad build
ers and engineers the morning af-
ter Santa Clans mas made his an
nuai visit.
One day there came a call and
Heinrich marched away from his
shop, a gun over his shoulder,
with thousands of other toy-makers
to fight over imaginary boundary
lines, to slay his fellow workers
-of other lands. They sent steel
plate home the other day. On it
was an Identification number.
Heinrich's name was posted on the
list of dead.
Some little girl and some little
man are likely to be disappointed
this year when Christmas comes.
The supply of gifts for children.
and older people too, is smaller
this time than 1t has been for years.
The fingers which formerly took
such pains to make gifts to delight
mothers, fathers, lovers and chill
dren are now hooked around the
triggers of death-dealing guns.

Many of these workers are no
more.
So there's a selfish reason why
one should shop early this year. OF
course there is always the consid-
Grafton one should have for the
over-worked clerk. And body
has a larger variety to select from
when the shopping is done early
But, this year, there might be a
fearful little lady at home Christ
mas morning should the girl behind
the counter say to you, Il am sorry,
the last doll is gone"

The New Books
Sunrise Valley.

In Sunrise Valley" Marion Hill
has written a story which holds
the interest till the end without
having a yillainous character. Even
the rich city chap who falls in love
with the country girl is decent.
The real heroine of the book is a
charming young girl. She is reared
in the luxury of her aunt's home
and has developed the traits of a
snob on the surface.
She accepts a position in Sun
rise Valley to teach with the one
idea to make money enough to not
have to impose" on her aunt, who
finally consents.
She rooms at the home of one of
the directors, young man who
controls the whole community.
Neither has anything to do with the
other until one day she returns
from school and the director over
hears her say that when she closes
the door of the schoolroom at four
O'Clock she dismisses those chill
dren from her mind.
The director gives her his idea OF
what she should do and, although
she hates him for it, he inspires
her to do her best for the children.
She aids in solving a pretty mys-
terry and falls in love with this
dominating man whom she thinks

every politician interested can as
certain, both before and after the
count, which way we used the only
voice we have In the popular gov
ernment. Not that we are afraid
to speak our convictions, or that
we think Columbia and Boone
County politics in any way crook
ed, but what of those who for one
reason or another are afraid to
have their vote known, and what OF
the abuses in cities where the pol
i.icians are corrupt? Will the
election be straight then?
In the first place, each party has
separate ticket, which you ask
for. and if you ask for all the tick
cts. as is your right, you are asked
to return the ones you do not use,
which amounts to the same thing.
Columbia Socialists are actually
smiling, because Tuesday one OF
the judges handed out Socialist
ballots when Democratic were
called for, until number had been
cast and he noticed his mistake.
Count the Socialist vote!
In the second place, the judges
put their initials on the back of
the ballots, but in such a way that
when the slips are handed in, with
the initials visible, the printed
name of the party-Socialist, DEM
ocratic, or Republican-shows
through the paper and can be cas-
lily seen. Why, any machine or
ward boss in New York or Chica-
go would give ten years of his life
to be able to put initials on the
back of a ballot, and see whether
or not the voter he had bought had
delivered the goods! Are the cleo
ton judges in st. Louis and Kan
sas City as innocent as they are in
Columbia?
In the third place, the ballot you
hand in is marked with a number
corresponding to that set opposite
your name. To prevent fraud and
decide contested elections?7Per-
haps, but | should like to meet the
man who thinks this is not equiva-
lent to signing your name to your
vote. If / were a boss I know
where I should pasture.
In the fourth place, there are
SO few booths that everyone stands
around marking his ballot in per-
fectly open and sociable way, and
the whole election, whatever the
law may be, is administered in a
mighty slipshod manner. In at
least one ward, at the local option
voting last year, you had to mark
your ballot outside, before you
could enter the tent to cast it, and
the law which keeps candidates
and heelers one hundred feet from
the polls was so laxly enforced
that one heeler was observed be-
tween the tent pole and a voter
marking ballot. l say this is a
shame and a disgrace in a free
country.
There are other things | might
mention, too, but / shall not, and
shall stop with this question:
since these election evils can be so
easily remedied by known means
the law. the strict enforcement of
it, the single-sheet ballot, and the
voting machine-who is to blame
for conditions as they are? 1 won-
der If it is corrupt bosses or a cor
rupt machine which does not want
to see the system changed because
an honest ballot and an honest, Sc
cret vote would mean the loss of
their grip on the voters of Mis-
souri,? Let the next Legislature
show, by introducing a strict Aus
tralian ballot and all that it stands
for, that it is not afraid of the peo-
pie and their judgment of what is
good and bad, right and wrong
