REAL STORY IN A TRAIN NOTE

parture Of . Student

Reporter Finds Human Interest b De
parture Of . Student
A new reporter assigned to the Wa.
bash train might have put it this way:
Francis r. Brown, freshman in the
School of Engineering left for his
home in Kansas City yesterday. But
behind these facts lies a story.
About two weeks before Thanksgiv-
ing Mr.. Brown received news from
home that his fathers eyesight was
failing and that his health was becom-
ing impaired.
Then he received news that his faith
er was rapidly getting better. Neither
the bad weather nor the humbling
given by the Jayhawks could spoil the
day for him then.
But yesterday he was notified that
his father had suffered a relapse. 80 he
left for home. He will not return un-
til his fathers health improves.

EFFICIENT CITY GOVERNMENT

The Supreme Court Of Missouri b.
a recent decision has made 1t posi-
BILE for municipalities of the state tt
adopt the commission form of govern.
ment. Every city now can rid itseli
of partisan and spoils politics and in
stitute business methods and re-
sponsibility in its government.
When Galveston was almost de-
stroyed by food in 1909, quick and
efficient action was necessary to save
the city. So it was wisely decided to
do away with the checks and balances
temporarily and vest the whole muni-
cipal government in the hands of a
commission. The commission per-
formed the work of both the legisla-
tive and the executive departments;
unhindered by legal red tape, reor-
ganized the city government; planned,
financed and built a great sea wall;
raised the ground level Of the city,
and reduced the tax rate ami debt
The new form of government served
the people well, and it was retained.
The running expenses of the city were
reduced one-third.
The combined commission and city
manager plan of Dayton, Ohio, was
instituted in about the same way. AZ
ter the destruction wrought by the
flood of three years ago, the citizens
wanted quick and efficient action.
They did away with the city council
and mayor. who were working at
cross purposes and accomplishing
nothing. What a difference there
would be in Kansas City if that city
had the commission government.
More than 200 municipalities in the
United States now have the commits
sion form of government. Why do
they like it and urge other cities to
adopt it? Because the system has
eliminated partisan politics to great
extent and has brought efficiency and
ponsibility-because the city ad-
ministration must work in the light
where the people may see.

A FORTUNATE DECISION

The decision of the Supreme Cour
Of Missouri In upholding the legisla
tion passed in 1918 to take the spend
ing of certain road taxes out of the
hands of the county courts and vest.
ing the power in the special road dis
tricts was a fortunate decision fol
Missouri.
1t means that more will be accom-
plished in road Improvement. When
the money went into a common fund
and was distributed out over the
county, little permanent road building
resulted. The amount given to any
one community was not enough, to
make permanent improvements. Isn't
it better to concentrate the money in
smaller area and build permanent
roads?
Now If there were only some way
to concentrate the state appropria-
tions In those districts of the state
which really want permanent roads
and are willing to help build them,
what an amount Of money would be
saved and what a showing Missouri
would make in few years with re-
spect to hard roads!

Serious and Less So.

Editor the Missourian: In the
whirl Of college life, there are some
students who take themselves toe
seriously. it seems. They get to
thinking on certain phases of life in
certain ways and develop into a mu-
tual admiration society.
Others get so serious In their stud
les that they have no time for student
activities. They keep their noses 50
deeply buried in books and in lessons
that they have no time to join in the
fun incidental to university life.
Both kinds, and all the variations
between these two, will do well to
take an inventory of their mental
wares occasionally. Examine the kind
and quality Of fun being afforded by
life.
1t is well for all Of us to loosen up
q bit, see ourselves as others see us
and profit thereby.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

Time was when the country editor
rumpled his hair and strode up and
down his Uttered office-then, scrib-
bling fiercely, hurled several columns
Of bitter invective at his partisan ri
val. His business department took
care of itself, subscriptions being paid
In anything from cabbage to cash.
Between political campaigns. national,
state and local, he found little time
to advance the cause of the common
people. Miraculously he escaped
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Today's country editor has differ
ent mission and different method.
He believes in service-not to the po-
litical leader, but to the public. His
paper is the peoples, not the party's.
Whatever is for the good of the COM
munity he advocates, with the old
time fire and vim and enthusiasm.
Whatever Is bad for the community
he denounces. but his denunciations
are minus the old-time personalities
and bitter invectives.
The people respect his opinions be-
cause they know him. His utterances
mean more to them than those of the
unknown writer's of the city press.
They respect him also because he has
become business man as well as an
editor. He sees to it that his paper
is efficiently managed and that his
credit is good at the bank and the
stores. He prefers cash to cabbages
in return for subscriptions.
Because of the close. intimate touch |
with his subscribers, because he is |
known in the community,
because he is respected as a business
man as well as an editor, the modern
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1915-12-08

country editor has field for service
that Is big and vital and far-reaching.
To the man who has learned to love
the smell Of printers ink and who
loves to serve his community. who
takes pride in clean, progressive.
efficient and prosperous paper, the
country field presents an irresistible
appeal.
