ADDITIONAL JUDGE BILL PASSED.

The bill giving an additional Judge
to the Fifth judicial district has pas
sed both houses and owing to the ur-
gent need. will doubtless be promptly
signed. There is n feeling that the new
judge should come from some other
place than Pocatello. T. s. Becker of
American Falls. a Progressive with
strong Democratic inclinations, is a
candidate for the position, and Is said
to have some influential support for

DOING HIS PART
against /.

The man who has done most of al!
workers for the cause of prohibition
is perhaps Richmond p Hobson. AL
though he may be accused of talking
more for the $4,000 the Anti-Saloon
League is paying him every year than
for his personal interest in prohibi-
ton, Hobsons sincerity as a pronl-
bitionist was established long before
he took up the liquor fight as pro-
fession. While serving in the House
of Representatives, Hobson had the
greatest prohibition classic ever pre-
pared put on the congressional record
Millions Of copies of this, sent out
over all the United States, have done
much for the cause Of the saloon
fighting brigade.
Hobson does nothing as a leader
in a local prohibition fight. He has
never directed a local option or
statewide campaign. His part has
been the bigger task of creating SEN
timent for prohibition over the entire
nation.
There is no immediate cause for
Hobson's coming to Columbia. 1t is,
however, the things done without i'm
mediate aim that often count in the
long run. 1t is such work as Hobson
is doing that has made the anti-saloon
movement grow SO fast in the last
ten years. II within the next two
decades the United States goes dry.
to Hobson will be due much of the
credit.
To be sure, the hero-politician is a
faddist. Yet he has the ability to
make his fads seem reasonable, even
after they are tempered, and his talks
on prohibition have done much to
help.

TESTING HOSE WAS AMUSING
However, Bystanders Enjoyed Sport
More Than Firemen Did.

Just what effect cold weather has
on fire hose has not been fully
known. But the Columbia fire de-
partment is prepared to give infor-
nation on the subject now.
Chief E. n Kurtz told the men to
test the old hose which was lying
around, the durability of which was
doubtful. They tested it, twenty sec
tions of it. For nineteen sections the
work was rather monotonous, each
piece standing nobly the strain Of
the city water pressure. But on Sec

firemen as he emerged from the min

Near the nozzle which the tester
was holding the water had made a
large rent, and having successfully
eliminated the fireman from the scene,
had spurted twenty feet in the air, to
the amusement Of several bystanders.

CHURCH MUST BE MILITARY.
So Says the Rev. Burris jenkins, Who
win Clese Series Tonight.


"The church of today must .appea
to the heroic, to the military spirit in
man. rather than to his selfish nature
II it would succeed" said the Rev
Burris A. Jenkins OF Kansas City, in
his second address of the day at the
University Auditorium last night.
Doctor Jenkins took for a text
these words of st. Paul: Endure
hardships as good soldier OF Jesus
Christ" He compared the deeds OF
the disciples of Christ with those of a
soldier.
I'VE must admit that two of the
greatest European institutions, the
church and the International Brother
hood of Socialism, have failed to pre-
vent the great war;" said Doctor Jen-
kins. Socialists of France and Ger
many declared they would not take up
arms against one another, but today
100000 socialists are in the trenches
Pope Plus X died of broken heart
because he could not stop the conflict
There is an institution in Europe
greater than either Of these. 1t is
militarism, which appeals to the
heroic, unselfish and military spirit
in man. The church must invoke the
heroic spirit in the days which are
before us if it would win men to
higher service.
I'm the past the church has appeal
ed to the selfish side of mans nature,
holding out to him the goal Of personal
salvation. The church must get the
spirit
"There is plenty of the military
spirit in the young people Of Amer
lea, and there was never a better op-
portunity than at the present time for
its use. There is a call for workers
in social service. The poverty which
ls SO manifest among our working
classes must be eliminated as far as
possible. It is said that 100000 per-
IONS die from preventable diseases
Zach year. There is a great work to
De done in this field. Dishonesty and
,raft must be done away with. There

KANSAS CITY'S DIVORCE MIL

KANSAS CITY'S DIVORCE MILL
Kansas City must soon start to i'm
prove its divorce conditions. or 1t soon
will be known as formidable rival to
notorious Reno. For instance, the
Kansas City circuit court recently
granted 100 divorces in three days.
Practically all were default DEGREES,
the defendant not appearing in court.
About nine-tenths of the plaintiffs
swore to statement that they did not
know where the defendants now live.
The Kansas City Star told of one of
the case. in which a man sworebefoeie
Judge Burney that his wife had de-
serted him and had gone to Pennsyl-
vania. There were three children, he
said. and he had been sending money
to care for them. In this instance the
judge investigated and had a letter
written to the wife, She answered
that she knew nothing about the d.
vorce proceedings and that her hus-
band had done nothing to care for the
children. The husband had deserted
her. she said, but she was too poor to
do anything about it, having the chill
dren to care for.
Many such cases of injustice would
come to light if investigated. 1t is
entirely too easy to get a divorce,
when ninety out of hundred DEGREES
are granted by default. The judges
admit they are the victims of much
dishonest testimony, but they can dc
nothing. The result is that hundreds
Of wives and children are the victims
Of speedy decisions.
Chicago has a Court of Domestic
where the cases are thor
oughly investigated 1t has been a
success from the start.

SYMPATHY FOR OUR NEIGHBORs

The saloon won its fight in Boon
vile the other day. A short time be-
fore John Barleycorn won another
fight in Moberly. Both of these towns
are sister cities of dry Columbia.
Columbia is glad she is dry; she
glories in the fact that she will new
er be otherwise But Columbia does
not gloat over the fact that she shook
herself from the bonds of alcohol,
while her sister cities still support the
corner saloon.
Columbia has not yet become an
arid desert in her relation to "booze."
Boonville and Moberly are just two
of the towns that make an occasional
oasis possible in Columbia. Columbia
is sorry for this. But she regrets still
more that these two towns, with 9TH
ers, are not even able to enjoy the
comparative "dryness" which exists
here.
Columbia is not censuring these
towns. She sympathizes with them.
There were honest. fearless people
who fought good fight, even if they
did lose. The elections in both towns
showed there is a gradual tendency
toward a dry community. The work.
ers for cleaner life will continue to
fight Rum and his allies. Columbia
looks forward to the time when these
cities will see the light-to the time
when she can share her place on the
water wagon with Boonville, Moberly
and other Missouri cities.

BLAME 1T ON THE KATY

It wasn't very long ago that prac-
tically all of the common peepul
had it in for the railroads. There was
generally some cause, too. This feel
ing has been dying away in later
years; most persons have learned
that it doesn't pay to fight the rail-
roads, and the railroads have learned
that they don't get very far by fight
ing the people. The day Of blaming
the railroads for everything is past.
But now, when we had begun to

Thirty Years Ago.

Columbia was established Novem-
Der Is. 1921. Its population in 1876
was 4,165. 1t is elisibly located in
the midst of the bluegrass region of
Missouri and has long been distin-
guished for the beauty Of It's natural
scenery, well paved aud cleanly
streets. The culture. intelligence and
hospitality of the people. and especial
ly the beauty and accomplishments Of
its women, are proverbial"
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1915-12-07

believe the railroads nearly human
the NJ. X. & T. organization has an
nounced such unreasonable changes
in the schedule out of Columbia that
we can honestly-almost wickedly-
blame the Katy for a whole lot of in
convenience to Columbia.
For instance: The trains which ar
rived here and departed at 1850 and
1855 p. m. respectively have been re-
moved from the schedule. A local for
Sedalia leaves here now at 7:15 p.
m, but the train for Oklahoma AMI
Texas leaves at o'clock. This ne
cessitates a wait in McBaine until los
o'clock in the morning for southbound
traffic or until 2:30 a. m. for persons
going to ST. Louis. Can the average
person imagine anything more un-
reasonable. more inconvenient and
apparently with more malice afore-
thought?
The fact that 9 o'clock is the latest
any train leaves here also compli"aes es
the handling of mail and makes its de-
livery much slower, for after O'Clock
there is; no train until 10 o'clock in
the morning. other changes nearly as
ridiculous have been made
1t is hard to discover the motive be-
hind the Katy's act. If it was dcne
with an idea of hurting Columbia
as has been suggested-the Katy will
find that it will not help any but will
do a great deal in the long run to in
jure the standing of the railroad.
