McCarn on the federal and territorial
indictments standing against him, he
will be relieved of Office here.
Whether he will in any event re

that Mr. Thomas will receive appoint

McCarn. Or it may be read that

Editor The Missourian:-Sin
our last general election when all
proposed amendments to our con-
stitution were voted down many
people have been led to express
their belief that this method of Sc
curing desirable legislation is a
failure. However We should not be
too hasty about condemning the
initiative and referendum until We
have looked around a bit and seen
how this form of law making works
in other states.
The cheering word comes from
California that out Oh a long list of
proposed laws to be voted on at the
November election No. IL provided
for an issue of $1,S00,000 of Az
per cent state bonds interest and
sinking fund payable from State
general funds), to provide build
ing fund for the University of CAL
ifornia, carried by a majority of
one hundred and twenty thousand.
While number of the amendments
were voted OWN and a few carried
No. IL was passed by the largest
majority of all.
The writer does not know wheth-
er they have the long or the short
ballot in California. Information
on this point would be interesting.
One thing is clear though, and that
is that the voters of some states
seem to take the necessary trouble
to inform themselves on the vari-
Gus measures to be voted on and
furthermore that they apparently
are able to discriminate between
the worthy and the unworthy to
some extent at least. Might it not
be possible that the feminine vote
carried the University measure?
Still statewide prohibition amend
ment was voted on at the same time
and badly beaten. Who knows?

The state should establish a trans

The majority of textbooks which
come from the educators Cf this and

who has not specialized in the par
ticular subject which is written
about. Verbs are thrown anywhere,
to stand awkwardly blocking the
path of the reader. Subjects are
divorced from their predicates.
Feeble, useless words are pushed
into the printed lines everywhere
possible. True, this makes great

down the number which might be

A MEDAL WORTH WEARING.
president.


when he is least expecting it, every
man in Columbia will be asked to
buy a tag to help the destitute Bel
gians. He will be allowed to give
1 whatever he cares 10 and whatever
his conscience prompts MIN to give.
In return he will receive a card
board emblem, suspended on a
string. This he is expected to wear
on his coat, so that others may see
that he has done his duty and so
that he will not be approached a
second time.
This tag has been chosen as the
medal of charity. The wearer of it
indeed may feel himself a follower
of the Nazarene. who said that
faith and hope were we'll enough
in their place, but that greater
still was charity.
At the same time, that Columbi-
ans are wearing their medals of
mercy tomorrow, German soldiers
in the Belgian trenches will be
wearing the iron cross of the Kai-
ser. This most coveted military
honor has been awarded freely in
this present war and to the very
men who have driven the Belgians
from their homes and who are most
responsible for the de-
plorable condition of the Belgians.
These iron crosses are medals
of military efficiency and courage.
They are awarded. for especially
hard work in the killing of oppo-
nents or for brilliant courage in
the defense of con ,rades. They typ
ify the spirit of destruction of
which war is the greatest exponent.
They are given for deeds that are
retrpgressive ra' iher than progress
We in human a fairs. They are the
exact opposites of the tag-day en-
,lems, being g wen for the refusing
Of mercy rat aer than for the ex-
libition of Il lat most brotherly of
rats.
Yet these crosses are priced more

We love them not, we hate them not
We hold the Weichsel and Vosges-

We have but one and only hate,
We love as one, we hate as one,
We have one foe and one alone,
He is known to you all, he is known
to you all!
He croucEes behind the dark gray
flood,
Full of envy, of rage, of credit, of
gall,
Cut off by waves that are thicker
than blood.
Come, let us stand at the Judgment
place,
An oath to swear to, face to face,
An oath of bronze no wind can
shake,
An oath for our sons and their sons
to take.
Come, hear the word, repeat the
word,
Throughout the Fatherland make
it heard:
We will never forgo our hate,
We have all but single hate,
We love as one, we hate as one,
We have one foe, and one alone
