The same democracy may be OBJ
served in other things. If there are
any very rich students there they do
not show it in the clothes they wear.
There is no rivalry. so far as the cas-
ual visitor can see, as to who can
make the loudest display of purple
and fine linen. The general average of
dress is good, but it is not SNOWY.
This democracy also shows itself in
manners of speech. The young men
act like gentlemen. the young women
like ladies. The students are very
much interested in the visitor. Is the
visitor in need of a room? Presto, A
student appears. He smiles. asks a
few questions, goes to a telephone and
reappears. The visitor will find suit

Such-a-Place Has the visitor bag

smiles and the baggage vanishes to
reappear pretty soon at the rooms des-
ignated.

likely be one of the most delightful
experiences of his life. When he

ARE WE COWARDS!

While some persons are branding
the United States as cowardly and
imputing it to Wilson's leadership.
the Paris Temps says:
"The President of the American
Republic is an eminent jurist with
firm views as to justice and human
ity. The United States has at heart
the justification of its position as a
great country and also wishes to
count among the great contemporary
naval powers. These are sentiments
which inspired the President, who at
the same time proclaims that the
United States should give an example
If peace for sublime influence in
the world"
1t is possible that time may come
wh"n to refuse to act would be pure
cowardice on the part of this country,
but that time is not yet here, and
when it does come We won't refuse TO
act. In the meantime President Will
son is keeping this nation out of the
war and by the clear, sane messages
he is sending to the belligerents he
is so establishing the United States
position that even if she should be
drawn into the fight future genera
tions will recognize that it is against
her will and principles of peace.

Lork Kitchener no longer sleeps in
little Camp cot in the war office. He
has moved to York House, for more
than a century the palace of English
soyerigns. But of all the rulers that
have lived there, he perhaps is the
greatest. York House has held princes
of the blood royal who have ruled
the Britians with an iron hand, Dut
the greatest of these has never welded
the power of its present occupant
Though only recently raised to the
peerage, Lord Kitchener is the master
of his fellow Englishmen. He Is the

A visit to the University of Missouri

There are 5000 young men and wom-
en- there, most of them from Missouri.
They are studying to make themselves

this energetic young life, to note its

by the contact.
There is a democracy about the
University of Missouri that is per-

JOHNNIE AND HIS GANG.

Youth is the playtime of life. Some
where about the age of ten every nor
NAL boy begins to take an interest IN
other boys, and we have the boyish
gang. The instinct is almost univer-
sal: Sheldon found that only about 30
per cent of American children do not
belong to some kind of gang or organ
ization. Who of us does not like to
recall the activities of our own par
ticular gang.
The respectable citizen who finds
himself showed off the sidewalk by a
group of young ruffians and the mother
whose child has gone swimming with
the gang for the first time condemn
the gang as an unmitigated nuisance.
The Jewish pedler and the farmer
with an orchard will agree. Even the
best boys individually are unruly in
company with others.
But the gang is not wholly bad.
Sheldon found that athletic or game
clubs made up 81 per cent of the
whole, industrial clubs per cent and
only II per cent were predatory. The
gang goes a long way toward making
leaders and followers of men. There
is an instinct for leadership in every
boy at this age which helped in the
right way will insure for him leader
ship and success as a man. If him
dered. the impulse aborts and the boy
remains a follower to the end. In a
large measure the leaders of boys are
the leaders of men. But the gang does
more; it teaches the boy cooperation
and teamplay. Brewster Adams says
of the New York gangs, "a few years
ago these little fellows were trying to
control the street with their play. Now
they are controlling the city"
So please do not think that Johnnie
is going to the bow-wows just because
he belongs to that particular gang of
bows. He NAV be developing into a
leader of men. or at any rate he is
learning the great lesson of coopera-
ton and teamplay. Remember that
he wants physical activity. and that,
as Forbush points out. the instinct
normally passes over into athletics
and physical training. II you are go

ALL NIGHT MOVIES.

When the night is hot and you can
sleep. what would you rather do as
the next best thing New Workers.
or at least the owners of motion pic
tr houses, have decided that the
mo- es should be substituted, and for
the rest of the summer the reels will
click continuously from s a. m. each
day until a. m. the next.
We should not choose a night OF
movies as a very successful substi-
TIT, for sleep. They might entertain
for a while, but they would not rest
one. What they would really do
would be to substitute eye-strain for
sleep.
Personally. we should rather pay
a nickel to ride to the end of the car
line and then another nickel to ride
back.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1915-05-17

ing to do anything for Johnnie, it must
be in the way of direction and not sup
preston of this instinct. On the
whole we have looked too much at
the possible evils and thought too
little of the good that Johnnie gets
from his gang. Most child societies
are play societies anyway, and, II ne
becomes the best player, he usually
becomes the leader with all that IL
NAV mean for the future.

tie girl who brings sunshine into
every home she enters. They made

experiences of the same charming
heroine and her friends. 1t is a
story that will bring a sure and
swift response in the hearts of
young and old. 1t is a real "sun-

TEXAS HISTORY

ment, for Congress was informed al
the same time that General Zachary
Taylor had been ordered to occupy
and had occupied the western banl
Of the Nueces river, beyond which
Texas herself had never exercised
jurisdiction.
Mexico Willing. &
Mexico under this provocation did
nothing, but declared its willingness
to negotiate concerning the disputed
territbry between Nueces and the Ric
Grande.
The next announcement was that
President Polk had ordered General
aylor, at the latter's suggestion, to
undertake a forward movement. The
inevitable result was a conflict be.
tween Mexican and American troops
and President Polk informed Congress
that .by the act Of the republic Of
Mexico q state Of war existed between
that government and the Uniteo
States"
The war with Mexico was on. II
was fruitless for the Wings to pro-
test, and the "spot resolutions" In
troduced by Abraham Lincoln, asking
the president to state the spot Of
American territory on which the out
rage had been committed, were only
an interesting diversion.
The war was prosecuted to q sue
cessfll conclusion, and, whatever the
motives OF President Polk, his policy
as reflected in his administrati ion, was
attended by results brilliant in the ex-
IRENE. The southwestern boundary Of
the country was carried to the Rio
Grande, and the provinces Of New
Mexico and upper, Calf ornia were add
ed to the national domain.
Polk was not q slavery propagan-
dist ana he had no, pro-slayery policy.
The annexation Of Texas and the war
with Mexico were undoubtedly the re-
suit OF conviction that these steps
were wise and necessary.
