JUDGE DEFENDS
Light FINES OF
|. CROOK GAMBLERS

ohjcoting strongly to the intimation
that Che gamblers arrested in the New
Anangtoh hotel han gotten or easily,
Judge Monsarrat, said today that he
| tkcught the penalty was ample.
y Three hundred dollars is q heavy
zine. Judge Monsarrat remarked. "and
that was the penalty Johnson paid.
The prosecuting attorney asked for a
heavy penalty and thought $500 was
enough. Johnson had some crooked
dice and lot OF gambling parapher-
MALTA, but it was not being used in the
game raided. AS a matter OF fact,
Johnson was merely PLAYING in the
game, just like the men who were fin
ed SIS, and the heavy penalty imposed
was because the gambling outfit was
found in his room. Corbett, am In.
formed, was not really the man be-
hind the game In room 10. but never
theless he was fined SEQ.
If these men were the only gamblers
in town II might be different. But
there are other games. From small

imum penalty Of 10 years in cases OF
this nature.
tence. City Attorney Brown said, In
substance:
May II please the court. the prose
cution feels that the sentences about
to be imposed upon this defendant
upon his several pleas of guilty should
be nest substantial. and by substantial
] mean a substantial term of impris-
! onpent.
The law provides a penalty of i'm
prisonment in cases of this kind not
TO exceed 10 years at hard labor, or
by fine not to exceed five times the
amount OF the money embezzled.
The defendant In these cases is not
the young, immature man that Hoogs
was, nor Is he the old man of So
years Of age that Louis Abrams was
when. upon their pleas of guilty. they
were sentenced by this court to pay.
fines OF $1,000 each.
! Nor has this defendant, as ] am
informed and believe, made good a
single cent Of the property embezzled,
whereas, in the cases of Hoogs and
Abrams, complete restitution was.
made
1T may be that, as strict principle
Of law, the matter of restitution should
not enter into the question of sentence,
but II always has and believe always
will influence the court to some ex-.
tent in the passing Of sentence.
This defendant for years, as clerk
in the circuit court. has been in po-s
sition To become familiar with the adj.
ministration Of criminal law, and to
know full well the serious conse-
quences of taking and spending other
peoples money and IL cannot be said
that the example of the penalties inn
posed in the Hoogs and Abrams cases
Influenced this defendant in any Of
his entertainments, for the reason that
this defendant committed these en-
bezzlements long prior to and before
these sentences Of $1,000 each we're
imposed.
This defendant knew just as well
as your honor knows, as / know and
as hts counsel knows, that the maxi.
mum term Of imprisonment for EN-
bezzlement Of $1,000 or more was 10
years at hard labor.
THE entertainments of the Egan
by this defendant covered
period Of several years. They were
series of entertainments committed by
this defendant with his eyes wide open
and knowing the fearful risk he ran
by so doing.
Under all these circumstances, itl
seems to. the prosecution that II ever
a case Of embezzlement deserved, JUS
titled and called for most severe and
substantial term Of Imprisonment, this

THE COUNTY CLUBS

One of the greatest advertisements
that the University of Missouri has
is the county club. The work Of the
county club covers all that many cit
liens of the state are interested in.
Reports are sure to break into print
in the home towns IL the club does
enough to keep alive. In fact the
work Of the best clubs is to get news
in print
The work of the individual student,
when related at home, tends mos of
all things to create a favorable senti-
ment for the University. Regardless
of the fact that the county clubs tend
to keep the student interested in the
home county and in contact with eth
er students from that county, it is
worth while for the good that it does
the University.
The M. u student who is loyal
enough to belong to county club and
advertise the doings of his fellow stu
dents from the same county for the
good it will do the University is the
greatest asset of the University.

proximately six pages of "E-E-Ea

the number is made up of miscellane-
Gus items about Missouri graduates
in Columbia and elsewhere. A con-

There are. however, eight lines on

On the other hand. there is, on the
fourth of the athletic pages, some
thing that looks as IL It might turn
out to be of ultimate educational in
terest-"Women Best Scholars Yet"
But eight of the twenty-nine lines run
to the following effect: Varsity ath--
letes are not flunkers, but lead the
non-athletes. Their standing of 96.5
is 8 more than the average of the
men not on athletic teams. The av-
erage for the total number of stu
dents in the University is 97.4. The
averages are computed on the grad
ing system which gives extra credit
for superior work and detracts for
inferior scholarship"
Now every thing in this citation is
strictly true In point Of literal fact,
but entirely inaccurate in implica-
ton. Varsity athletes that funk are
not counted in the statistics; made
Ineligible by fiunks, they are for the
purpose not varsity athletes. The
student who is spending his main en-

WHEN THE STUDENT VOTES

Student politics has always been hot
at the University of Missouri. Cam
paigns and elections follow each 9TH
er with great frequency. All kinds Of
officers and queens are chosen each
year. Some get their first experience
in practical politics; others have
their first chance to cast ballot
Thus the University becomes school
for voters.
The student Of today is the vo.er
Of tomorrow. Today he shows the
same indifference or interest that he
will show in the real elections of
tomorrow. It is a sad commentary
upon the political life of the future
that so few of the students feel any
responsibility about their voting or
use any individual judgment in cast
ing their ballot.
Just as politics in the outside world
is forced through the Indifference or
ignorance Of the voter to become par
ty politics, SO voting in the Univer-
sity elections deteriorates into a de-
partmental affair. But, while in the
one case the great size of the cleo
torate affords some excuse, the very
smallness in the other case makes the
situation unjustifiable.
To vote for a man simply because
he is an engineer, farmer or academ
has only the sanction of laziness and
irresponsibility. Good politics is not
party politics or department politics
but "best man" politics. The sooner
the student takes advantage Of the
opportunities for voting here, the bet
ter prepared he will be for the prop
er exercise Of his voting privilege.
