clared bankrupt by the United States

If the members of the council will
pay particular attention to the cost for
publishing the official proceedings, they
will discover that quite sum of money
is being lost annually to the taxpayers
of Watertown. AS an eye-opener to
the members of the council, they might
refer to the proceedings of the council
published in the ''oficial city paper" on
January 10Th. where there would have
been saving to the city of $ll.03 had
there been an actual count of folios, as
was proposed in the bid of the Leader.
Then the bid of the Leader at 25 cents
per folio would have been another saw
ing of $40, making a total of $15.73
which would have been saved to the
city for the publishing of the proceed
ings of one meeting of the city council.
1t is about time we had watchdog of
the city treasury that the taxation bur-
den may be lessened The ordinance
designating a certain paper as the Off
cial paper at ''6ixed" price per folio,
is too much of graft for this day and
age and may be the means of injunc-
ton proceedings sooner or later.

DEFINES A POLITICAL BOSS

Ex-Gov. F. E. McGovern being asked
to define a political boss said:
1.-The common understanding OF
party boss to my mind, is the man
who is in politics and who seeks con-
troll of things for the personal advan-
tage of himself or of those associated
with him. 1t is opposed to the spirit
of public welfare or public benefit and
implies something of selfish motives .
1t is not difficult to decide who the
ex-governor had in mind in his def
milton of a boss"

FOR good behavior She sat on the
front porch for a time, swinging her
bare feet ind contemplating the shiE-
ing coin. Suddenly she stopped
swinging her feet and began to think,
wrinkling her forehead and her tiny
nose in the process. A nickel would
buy something to eat. She would sur
prise the other children. She jumped
off the porch and scampered away to
the candy store.
Il want some chewin' gum she
told the clerk as she stood on tiptoc
to pass the nickel over the counter.
The clerk gave her the gum. She

when a break seemed imminent with

OUR WAR DISPUTES,

Discussion of the European War
has taa:ed a division in a Chicago
church. his disinteerating effect hes
been felt by other American instiu-
tions. 4; is but natural that Ameri
cans, derived as so many of them are
from the nations at war should be ed
for the time to divide into such par
tisan groups.
But none of these effects can. We
think, be looked upon as more than
temporary. Even the division in the
Chicago church can but quickly pale
into insignificance after reflection by
its members and the consideration of
the elemental fact that at heart we
are all Americans. The power of that
appeal has jus: been demonstrated in
the change of attitude on the of many

ON BEING NEUTRAL.

Being neutral in all matters is a
very difficult task, yet most of us at
tempt it all the time and some of us
attempt it part of the time. Since our
government has succeeded in being
absolutely neutral it deserves much
credit The merchant cannot show
partiality, the teacher must be abso-
lutrly fair to all. the employe has to
maintain an equilibrium of opinion as
tG various interests concerned with
his work and even the clergyman
must be careful to be strictly neutral.
During the present European con-
fiict we have been told that we must
be neutral. Just what does neutrality
mean? Few of us like the sound of
the word. 1t has a weak shilly-shally
sound. Perhaps We are responsible
for this. We have made the term mean
things for which it does not really
stand If we wish to properly under
stand the word we should note the
actions of our government.

ON WAKING UP.

In most any community the tremen-
dous business of awakening in the
morning for the work of the day is
arduous, being almost impossible for
some. Consider then what must be
the difficulties under which the resi-
dents of Detroit, Mich, are living at
present. when there is discussion in
that city of changing time The prop
osition which comforts the person
who likes to sleep late in the morning
is this, is it actually more heart
treak.ng to arise at o'clock a nj
uhner central time than at Z clock
u IN eastern time? Or is the ieali~
any difference, despite the souni and
the apparent discrepancy between the
one hour in central time and the one
hour in eastern time?
~ ohy idIOy bCll us
cussing the change, though central
time is said to be the only legal time
for the city to work, eat and sleep by,
now. Some insist that one hour of
daylight is lost under the present
arrangement. But this need net be
the case However, the optimist en-
plains that Detroit can wake up as
readily at a. m. under central tire
as it tcH at a. M. under EASTERN
time. And she probably will be as
vide awake as othe's who are nrt

the time as they are about the hour

The Open Column
About Cigarettes.

Editor The Missourian:- A recent
newspaper article recounts the in
teresting story of how the girls of
North East High School of Kansas
City were instrumental in influencing
four hundred boys of that school to
quit smoking cigarettes. Just how
effective and permanent the reform
will be, no one can predict, but it is
safe to say that the results will de-
pend on the sincerity and earnestness
of the young ladies, for they have it
in their power to enforce their will.
AS a Coed of Missouri University,
"a rather serious minded one | admit
have been wondering why the girls
of this school could not well follow
the good example of these high school
girls in an attempt to Danish cigarettes
from the halls and campus. at least
We are a decided minority here, it is
true, but that fact is no just criterion
of our power. A minority party is
ruling the United States just now,
very effectively, it would seem.
No one defends cigarettes these
days, not even those who use them
Science has long since given its ver-
dict of harmful" and industry has
placed them under its ban. Further
more, there is something decidedly
fncongruOus, to me, in the way high
er education, such as the University
affords, and cigarettes go hand in
hand as they seem to do here. By
their very nature they seem unsuited
to close companionship. To the visi-
tors and new students who come up
each year, there is an incompatibility
about it that is hard to dispel for
first impressions are lasting. What is
worse, the rule against smoking in
the corridors goes unheeded and un-
One looks forward, logi-
cally, to the time when men students

stating the case. but this may be par
doned one who has to endure for
hours each day the sickening odor of |
cigarette fumes which pervade every
corner of Academic Hall.
| am sure that there are enough |
in the University who feel as
do to start a campaign, whether by |
moral suasion" or by more imper-
alistic methods, to Danish the cigar
,ttes. No task is more worth our
ime, nor could there be a better op-
,ortunity to show our influence and
lbility. Women cleaned up Terre

cigarettes from Missouri's greatest ed
lcational institution. Anna.

WADING GIRLS.

"Wading was a popular after-din-
ner sport" says a new story in telling
of an outing of the Women's Athletic
Association and the Campfire Girls.
Yes, popular, and if to wade is all
they know, dangerous.
1t sounds a bit like trayesty for
members of an athletic association
and the Campfire movement to have
to wade instead of swim. OF course
the facilities for swimming here are
poor. but they have been improved
just recently, and many girls are TAX
ing advantage of this opportunity to
learn to swim. More should do so.
If the athletic association and the
Campfire companies want to teach
their members something useful why
not start a learn-to-swim campaign?
If they cannot all learn here, urge
them to get instruction this summer
The girl who can swim is the posses
sor of one of the most enjoyable and
healthful of sports, and in being able

is of more value and usefulness to so
