THE TORRENS TITLE SYSTEM.

If Missouri should adopt the Tor
rens system of guaranteeing land I'll
ties, would it work to better advan-
tage than in Illinois, Minnesota, Mas
sachusetts, California, Oregon and
Colorado, where the system has been
used for several years?
The object of the system, which
originated in Australia in 1857, is to
establish and certify to the absolute
ownership of an absolute and inde-
feasible title to realty, and to simplify
its transfer under governmental au-
thority. A title is registered and a
governmental certificate is issued,
which states the interest the person
has in the land Afterward the title
to the land cannot pass except by en-
tering on the register the name of the
transferee and the issue OF a new
certificate to him on the surrender of
the old one.
All mortgages, liens or other mat
ters affecting the title to a piece of
registered land must be noted on the
page of the official register which is
set apart for that land. The theory
is that the exact condition of the til
tie to a piece of registered land at
any given time may be seen by turn
ing to the page of the register that
has been set apart for It.
An important feature of the sys-
tenn is an indemnity fund to compen-
safe anyone who has been injured by
the operation of the act. While this
may not be essential to the working
of the system, it is significant that no
law has been put into successful op-
Grafton that did not make provisions
for such a fund.
The Torrens system has been sue
cessful in Australia A modification
of the system has been practically a
failure In England. In the several
states in this country in which some
kind of a modification has been in
troduced, it has not proved much of
a success. The systems strongest
advocates failed to patronize it in

The Literary Trawler
Some Sources of Hisfor,.

There was once an accomplished
conscientious rabbits and intellectual
cockatoos were dear. He lived in the
neighborhood of large school, and
some of the urchins whom he kindly
entertained discovered his amiable
gullibility. Henceforward, whenever
they were short of cash, they stood
and spoke thus with themselves
Lets go and pitch yarn in to old
-. Shall 1t be your sisters cat
this time, or my governors retriever"
These preliminaries adjusted, our
young friends hastened to the Au-
thor's house and communicated some
new and startling fact in natural his
tory. This was gladly received, care
fully entered in the notebook, and
shortly afterwards reproduced in
print. Meanwhile the boys had jam
and sausages for tea, and the princi-
pal narrator went back to school with
half-a-crown in his pocket. Sir
George Cornwall Lewis in his forgot
ten essay on "The Influence of Au-
thority in Matters of Opinion" traces
the word authority" to the Latin
auctor, and says that IAN auctor
meant the creator or originator of
anything. Hence any person who de-
termines our belief is called an auc-
tor. AS writer's, particularly of his
tory, were the authorities for facts,
auctor came to mean a writer" Little
did the country clergymen and subur-
ban spinsters who revelled in the
disquisitions on the
intelligence of the lower animals
dream of the real authority" for
what they read. Though, indeed, Mr.
was the writer, and a volumi-
nous and sententious one. it was
'eally the boys of Mudport Grammar |
School who were the authorities for |
acts" and therefore, according to
Sir G. c. Lewis, the true Authors of
he wondrous tales. Early In life
hey had found their way into the
'anks of that great profession which
anges from Herodotus and Shakes
'eare to Rudyard Kipling and George
Z. Sims; and they shared the convic-
ion of Horace Walpole's young
riend, that there is nothing so
harming as Authors, and to be one"
When Matthew Arnold saw "in the
rontispiece to one of Mr.. Hepworth
)ixon's numerous but well-merited
ditions, the manly and animated
eatures of the immortal Guide to

laiming with pride, T too am an

THE MOST PREVALENT PHRASE.

IHE MOSI ThEN ALENI fnhASE
One of the chief businesses of &
University is to talk. Through con
versation of one sort or another, al
its affairs are carried on. The in
structor teaches by talking; the stu
dent asks questions. Among them
selves, the students converse contin-
ually. But what phrase or what ex-
preston do they use the most? Here
at Missouri, for example?
Among those nominated for the
prize are:
Gee. if l can't find anything else
to do, I'll have to study"
THAT bell again!"
Professor, l am so deeply inter-
ested in this course. | wonder if
can get some more along the same
line next semester?"
Really, I've had a grand time to-
might. Thank you SO much"
Hep, hep, hep, hep; one, two,
three, four
Company, attenshun!"
Dear Dad:-The man at the bank
tells me. ....."
"Kill him now!"
Freshman, the telephone!"
Freshman, the MALL"
All these are good in their way, rep
resenting pretty generally the stu
dent activities. Really the most gem
eral phrase, however, is the outcome
of the incessant hurry and rush in
which the average student lives and
works-and sleeps. It's this:
Whats the timer"

OREGON BOTTLED UP"
Villa Representatives Announce That Ir
aquatic Is Being Invested.

Washington, d. c., May l3.-Villa
representatives here announced Tuesday
that the Carranza army under General
Oregon had been driven backward and
bottled up by General Villas forces at
Irapuato, and investment of that place
was in progress. No advices reached the
state department to confirm this report.
The department has had very little in
formation as to the military situation in
central Mexico recently, presumably be-
cause of the limited facilities south of
the border.
Duval West, who is awaiting here an
opportunity to present full report of
his recent tour of Mexico as President
Wilson's personal representative, so far
has revealed his conclusions only to Sec
rotary Bryan in one brief interview,
The Carranza agency here announced

denying that General Obregon had met
with any reverses and that Villa had ad
vanced.

Italian Cabinet Called into
Hurried Session to Con-
slider the Communication
MODS IN ROME
CRY FOR WAR
Vienna Ready for War; It.
ally Is to Act To-
day

Rome, May l3.--What is considered
the last definite proposal of Austris
concerning the territorial concessions de
day by the Italian government.
The cabinet at once went into session
to consider the communication.
Troops wes called out Tuesday night
to dispense a great crowd of war enthu-
siaiss who paraded the principal streets
crying "Down with Austria Down with
Giolitti" and cheering for PreIsier Sa-
landra and Minister of Foreign Affairs
Sonnino.
Most of the persons in the throng
apparently felt the greatest luminosity
toward former Premier Giolitti, who is
regarded as the leader of the peace par
ty. An attempt was made to storm
his residence, but it was frustrated by
soldiers. The crowd ieered as it passed
the German Ecclesiastical college.
Demonstrations similar to that in the
capital are occurring in the larger towns
throughout the country. Clashes with
those who favor neutrality have been
prevented several times by the inter-
vention OF troops and the police.
Every precaution has been taken by
the authorities of Rome TO protect the
Austrian and German diplomats accred-
tied both to the Quirinal and Vatican.
Final decision as to whether Italy will
declare war or remain neutral rests with
King Emmanuel The Italian constitu
tion gives TO the sovereign alone authori-
ty to declare war, make peace, and con-
clude treaties
There is a diversity of opinion in the
capital, however, as to whether action
by his majesty should be purely formal,
or simply in accordance with the decis-
ion reached by his ministers. Those who
favor making his constitutional preroga.
tive more than a matter of form are
urging that as soon as Austria makes
its final decision regarding territorial
the cabinet shall ask the
King to take supreme command and rely |
ipon his Judgment.
Apparently, however, a majority of
he people believe the cabinet must as
ume the responsibility one way or the
,ther with the certainty that its de.
ision will be sustained almost unani-
nously by Parliament and the country.
The part that Parliament is to play /
emains uncertain. 1t may or il may not
e asked to express an opinion as to the
sisest course to pursue.
