PREFERENTIAL VOTING.

In our student election we had an
example of reform in politics. And
no one will deny that it was reform
over former elections, to say nothing
of the saving in expense.
Australia started the preferential
ballot reform in 1897 to reduce party
Influences over elections. Since then
many municipalities have taken it up
in this country. The voter registers
Lot only his first choice but usually all
candidates in the order of his prefer
tnce, sometimes three candidates
only. Various devices are used for
giving these second choices their full
weight in the election.
Students are like so many other
people. They will usually do the near
est the square thing" possible if they
know how. OF course a few may be
olouded by partisanship but show the
great body of them how an improve
ment may be made and they stand
ready to make it. NJ U. students are
no exception to the rule.
If we learn the best in politics here
and after We have weighed the prefer
ential ballot on the scales of eXper-
ience and find it satisfactory we shall
be a great factor in putting it and
other elections reforms into practice
and so help to keep the state clean.
Our elections here provide a good
for state politics.

The Literary Trawler
The Law of Usefulness.

81 am afraid to use this beautiful ia
ble," said the owner. The cabinet
maker ran his hands across the pol
ished surface and felt the thickness of
the wood What are you afraid off"
he asked, brusquely. "You can't wear
out that table Why, do you know
nowadays they'd make fifty veneered
tables out of just the wood you've got
in this one: but this-the more you
use it, the better for it. madam. The
only flaw there is on it now is this
worm hole, and that came, you say,
when you had it stored away in the
loft"
That ninety-year-old table had been
in constant use, had been summed and
aired, and cleaned and polished, and
loaded down with viands over and
over again, without an injury. Left
alone for a few years, and supposed
to be safe from harm, and resting, it
got the only injury of its long life.
You're too bright and too lovely
to be just wearing yourself out doing
so much for other people," said one
woman to another. 81 can't be very
good stuff to begin with, then" was the
retort. Trying to live happily with
ones neighbors never wore anybody
out yet. unless the person was of such
thin veneer that she was afraid people
would find her out"

CHINCH BUG BEGINS HIS ATTACKS
DIR. Leonard Haseman Goes to Carroll
County to Help i'm the Fight.

DR.. Leonard Haseman of the ento-
mology department left Wednesday
for Carroll County to assist the coun-
ty agent in fighting the chinch bug.
This insect has appeared this spring
in larger numbers than ever before,
especially along the Missouri River
bottoms.
I'm some sections of the state"
Doctor Haseman said, ''the wheat
crop will be almost completely de-
stroyed if the pest is not checked. The
damage which is being done now is
by the bugs which have passed through
the winter in the mature stage. If a
new brood is allowed to develop, hun
dreds of acres of wheat will suffer"
Doctor Haseman will demonstrate
to the farmers of Carroll County, the
preparation of barriers to prevent the
insect from migrating from one field
to another "A dust mulch barrier"
Doctor Haseman says, sis probably
the most effective In migrating, the
insects crawl, and if a dust mulch is
prepared in their path, they are un-
able to get over it."
The experimental plots of wheat on
the State Farm, belonging to the farm
crops department, have already been
damaged by the chinch bug. On some
of the smaller plots the pest has been
checked by spraying with a solution
of Black Leaf Forty, nicotine prep
aratiOn which is deadly poison.

THE NEW BOOKS
London, 1918.

London, 1913" is the unmeaning til
tie Margaret de We're Stacpoole gives
her latest novel of middle class Eng
lish life. 1t is story of man who's
word is his bond, who keeps his word
though it costs him millions. and the
affect of this sort of ethics upon mod
ern London.
Musgrave is his name. He comes to
England at the opening of the story
because he believes that South Africa
is going to the dogs or to the Ger
mans. He has sold all of his proper
ty but one farm called Junker Kraal,
which he won at the game of cards
from a man who had robbed him in
his youth.
His only daughter, Phyl, believes
that they have horseshoe hid in this
farm somewhere and does not want
her father to sell it, He, however,
agrees to part with it to an old ac-
quaintance, named Archdale, whom he
believes to be his friend, for a small
price. Before he pays the money he
finds out that a great diamond mine
had been discovered on Junker Kraal.
Knowing he has been hoodwinked he
turns over the deeds to the property,
though he was offered millions for the
land by another firm, because he had
given his word to sell.
Here young Englishman of semi
noble birth, political writer for a
London magazine, named Chatterton,
comes into the plot as the lover of

papers that would send ArChdale "to

AS THE SMOKE CLEARS AWAY.

The whirling May breezes whip
away the streaming smoke-wreaths
from the 'Made-in- Missouri" corncob
pipes distributed to the guests at the
"Made-inM Missouri" banquet Friday
night, and there remains the ash of
another Journalism Week-an ash
completely burned out and gray with
the memories of good friends met, but
consumed and colorless because of the
full draft that was made upon it and
because of the satisfaction and enjoy
ment that accompanied the burning.
Journalism Week has come and
gone, and nothing remains to speak
of its presence here at the University
but list of names in the registry
book in Switzler Hall. One hundred
and ninety-odd signatures there are,
names representing journals from all
parts of the United States Calculat-
ing the attendance with an eye to
those who came, but who did not reg
lister, the conservative estimator must
place the total of guests close to a
round three hundred.
The School of Journalism, the Uni
versity. Columbia-these have little to
show that there ever was a Journal
ism Week held. The real impression
has not been made here. But out in
the state, out where the editors live
who spent last week in Columbia,
there is a difference. The subscribers
may not be able to detect it in the
first issue-perhaps not in the second
but sooner or later they will wake
up to the fact that they have an up
to-the-minute newspaper man in their
community, man who knows the lat
est ideas in his profession, and the re-
wards they give him will be not un-
worthy of the service that he renders.
Journalism Week leaves no mark on
Columbia. 1t has a bigger mission. 1t
leaves a mark on the state and on the
states journalism, which is the pulse
of the commonwealth that mark
is the sterling guarantee of progress,
the 20. X" of advancement in ideals
The effect may not be seen immediate
ly. but in making better editors, Jour-
nalism Week annually makes a better
press, and through the press, a better
state to live in.

EIGHTEEN YEARS OF WARNING.

Eighteen years ago the London
Daily Mail began to warn the English
people of the dangerous and design
ing hostility of Prussia. Since that
time this paper has been unremitting
in its efforts to acquaint the British
people of the significance and import
of Germany's hatred and the jealousy
of the dominion "on which the sun
never SETS"
1t is so clear itself of the many at
tacks and criticisms that have been
made from all sides, during the eigh-
teen years of effort, that the Daily Mail
has recently published collection of
all the articles it printed dealing with
Germany's attitude This book is
called the "Scare-mongerings from
the Daily Mall" and shows the ever
increasing enmity of Prussia toward
England, commencing as far back as
1864, when the sympathy of Great
Britain for Denmark in the Schleswig-
Holstein campaign aroused the bitter
resentment of the Prussians. This
hatred was increased by England's
neutrality during the Franco-Prus-
sian War, kept simmering by jealousy
of the ever-growing prestige and COM
mercial expansion of Britain, and fl
nally revealed itself, to many by the
friendly attitude which Germany ex-
pressed toward the Beers, the Kaiser
even extending his congratulations to
President Kruger. on the occasion of
the defeat of the Jameson raid.
The book, while it reads like an 81
told you so," is justifiable in that it
answers such imprecations as "scan-
dal-mongering," 'jingoist" and yellow
journalism, that the Daily Mail has
heard from all sides. That it foresaw
the future trouble with Germany, bet
ter than some of the British govern
ments during this time is shown by
the unpreparedness with which Eng
land went into the war.
Articles dating as far back as 1904
and forecasting a German invasion of
Belgium, in order to strike at France
and England were published in the
Daily Mail. England was warned of
the fortifying of Helgoland, an island
at the mouth of the Elbe, fortified un-

til it is now impregnable, and lying
as it does in the North Sea, is a sec
ond Gibraltar, a constant menace to
the shores of the British lies.
Daily Mail has constantly urged a
greater naval strength and larger
land forces. While its cry for greater
naval strength has been needed, the
lack of sufficient land forces has pre-
vented Great Britain from rendering
efficient aid to the French and Bel
gians on the Franco-Belgian frontier.
