A Vow For the Fourth.

Let us. standing by our fathers
graves. swear anew, and teach the
oath to our children. that, with Gods
help. the American republic. claspins
this continent in its embrace, shall
stand unmoved. though all the powers
OF slavery, piracy and European jeal-
ousy should combine to overthrow it.:
that we shall have in the future, as
we have had in the past, one country,
one constitution and one destiny; that
our sons may gather strength from our
examples in every contest with despot-
ism that times may have in store to
try their virtue. and that they may
rally under the stars and stripes to
battle for freedom and the right of
man. with our olden warcry Liberty
and union. now and forever, one and
inseparable. John jay. July 4, 1861.

Arbor day has its uses. We have
three of them in this state. two APP

superintendent of public schools. They
serve to kindle and spread an interest
in tree growing. though the reforesta-

In the same way can best serve its pur-
pose by being used to increase the APP

The actual work Of constructing good
roads must be done by experienced
road builders under the direction of
skilled engineers working all through
the year when weather conditions
make road construction possible.
An Economic Question.
The road question Is an economic

It 1s question Of real benefit, pleas

be plenty Of explanation to the fact.

the possibility of still more efficient
work for Columbia.
In the last administration the city
prospered in many ways. But the
mayor and the council have differed
on many questions. Both sides claim
credit for what has been done. What
ever the facts may be, more could
have been accomplished If no friction
had arisen.
The new nominees are not making
any definite questions an issue in
their candidacy. So they will have
nothing to support that will mean a
division in the administration at the
outset. Instead of bitterness. all is
good feeling. Columbia sincerely
hopes that this condition will last and
looks forward to the best conduct of
her interests.

A NEWSPAPER WAR LORD.

William r. Nelson, editor and own
er Of The Kansas City Star, who has
been dangerously i'll the last few
months, is improving. Thousands OF
his friends and admirers in Missouri
and surrounding states have prayed
for the recovery of this journalist
fighter. this man who has spent his
life in public service. The great
newspaper which he has builded is
recognized for its worth by staunch
friends and bitter enemies, just as is
its owner.
In the thirty-five years since he
founded his newspaper, Mr.. Nelson
has been fighting advocate for what
he thought was right. A look at the
columns of The Star will show that
this publication has always been a
leader in the building up and the
beautifying of Kansas City. Mr.. Nell
son and his paper have been always
on the side of the right in curing
Kansas City of her social evils and
other civic ills and shortcomings
These campaigns have been accom-
plished in spite of bitterest opposi-
ton, and yet thirty-five years prove
beyond doubt that the Judgment of
Colonel Nelson has been right in more
than a majority of cases and that
actual mistakes have been few.
Nor is the work or influence of
Colonel Nelson confined to Kansas
City or to Missouri. In the middle
west especially, and In the nation as
a whole, the name of The Kansas City
Star is respected, the name of Will
liam r. Nelson, journalist, is admired. |
His great individuality Sticks out" in
every column of his newspaper and !
this characteristic has made it one of |
the closest counsellors of each men, /
Der of the family in every one of the |
many thousand homes in which it cir
1t is the hope of his friends
and admirers, in the profession and |
put of it, that Mr.. Nelson may be able
% perpetuate the qualities of great
ness and influence for good in The
Kansas City Star.

LINCOLN BEACHEY,

Next to Ralph Johnstone's deatl
in Denver several years ago, the death
Of Lincoln Beachey at San francisco
Sunday probably will come as q
greater shock to the American people
than that of any other aviator. AS a
rule they have become callous to
such fatalities, but in the case OF
Johnstone there was sincere grief
that his life should be ended as 1t
was.
So 1t is with Beachey. He was so
well known and had made flights be-
fore SO many people that they had
come to think of him in personal
way, and his name was almost syn
onymous with safety in flying. His
complete and graceful mastery of his
own bi-plane had made 1t seem that an
accident to him was impossible. Then,
in order to please the people, he tried
his hand at a new machine, a mono
plane, and at the second trial it be-
trayed him to his death. This poem,
which appeared in the Denver Post
at the time of Johnstone's death. is
just as appropriate of Beachy:
The Jealous Spirits.
Man, who had chung to the little
round earth
And plowed the purple seas,
Looked into the sky where the pinions'
And forgot his hard-won ease.
He built him kite of lathe-turned
sticks,
A thing of silk and steel,
And launched himself into outer
space
Where the Jealous Spirits wheel.
They waited and moeked-they
waited a space,
Till he grew overproud:
Then lightly the Spirits poised and
smote,
And the wings became a shroud.

Planned for School Of Medicine.
A postgraduate course for prac-
ticing physicians In Missouri win be
offered by the School Of Medicine OF
the University this year from May
to 2s: This is the third year that the

onstration work in clinical micros-
copy. 1t will give practitioners a
chance to become acquainted with the
latest methods in bacteriology and
will show them the development Of
pathology in its relation to clinical
medicine. The preparation and use
OF antitoxins and vaccines, examina-
tions for disease germs and various
disease tests will be given.
The course will be given by DR.. M.
P. Rayenel in bacteriology and pre-
ventive medicines, and Dr. d. H. Dol
ley in pathology. Instructors Martin

The Open Columr


Editor The Missourian VIII the
University Of Missouri ever have a
swimming pool? This question may
sound out of place at this time of the
year. but nevertheless it is topic OF
much discussion among the students.
II will continue to be topic of dis
cussion until the question is an
swered.
Last fall. a petition for this addi-
tion to the athletic equipment of the
university was started among the stu
dents. Many signed it. Considerable
interest was taken in the matter by
girls as well as boys. What became
of the petition?
The University of Illinois has a
first-class pool for the benefit and en-
joyment Of It's students. And the fact
is used to great advantage in the bull
letin of the school There are few
state universities that do not have a
swimming pool. 1t is a good adver-
tisement and attraction for the school,
Much discussion on the necessity of
every student taking part in athletic
events is now heard among the ath-
letic directors of leading universities.
The discussion Is well directed. But
every student cannot find time to take
part In the competitive events-and
many do not care for that kind of ex-
ercise.
Swimming combines practically ev-
cry sort Of physical exercise. And
those who do not like this sport are
few.
Many students come to the Uniyer-
sity Of Missouri each year and are
disappointed on learning that 1t has
no swimming pool. There are many
here now who are eager to see this
addition to its athletic equipment.
Will the University of Missouri ever
have swimming pool? e. R. E.

SANTA FE HAD BEST
YEAR OF ITS HISTORY

The fiscal year ending June 30,
1915, was the largest as to earnings,
both gross and net, in the history
Of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway system, according to the
report Of the directors, through E.
p. Ripley, president, to the stock
holders. The gross revenues were
$l2O, ,662,727. The net earnings were
$36,916,609.
Two reasons, Mr.. Ripley says,
contributed mainly to this result
the unprecedented wheat crop OF
Kansas, and the largely increased
yield of agricultural products of all
kinds in the so-called plains coun-
try in western Texas and western
Oklahoma. The wheat OF Kansas
and Oklahoma was largely export
ed via Galveston, thus giving Santa
Fe properties the longest possible
haul, and this created a marked I'M
provement in business for the Texas
lines, resulting in net earnings IN
excess of previous years. The Pan
ama-Pacafic exposition at San Fran
cisco and the Panama-California
exposition at San Diego have Great
ed some passenger business, but at
such low rates." Mr. Ripley said,
las to afford little If any profit.
Notwithstanding the companyS
favorable showing, the income aP-
plicable to bond interest, dividends,
improvements of property and
siren gthening of credit, Mr.. Ripley
explains, was only five and four
tenths per cent of the investment.
The total expense for operation
during the year was s7S,24s,S12. To
this sum is added the interest on
the bonded debt, $12,7S5,747, and
taxes, S5.4s7,316. making a total OF
s96,531,s75. This sum deducted
from the gross revenues OF $12O,-
