The Literary Trawler

Christianity is not the first religion
to exalt charity as virtue; but the
infinite tenderness of it's Founder for
all whose lives are burdened; His
personal contact with want, and mis-
cry, and helplessness of every kind,
without shrinking, without making it
appear that it was virtuous or la
borious thing to do, but rather as be-
ing the spontaneous expression of the
love of His nature-this caused the
truth of personal sympathy and kind
ness to glow and live with new pow
er and beauty. Through Him it
passed from a duty into one of the
essentials Of truly human life. He
who is without it, is lacking in one
of the elements of the Christian life
and character. X. Smyth.

FOR CHARiTYs SAKE

To the average prosperous person
of Columbia the Charity Organiza-
ton means an institution that hands
out money promiscuously to various
individuals who have accumulated
large families without taking into
consideration the cost of maintain
ing them.
This is not the case. Some of the
now destitute families are ones that
ordinarily are able to care for them
selves, but have been extraordinar-
lily unfortunate this winter. In some
cases the father is sick; in others the
mother is sick, and the father cannot
leave her with the small children
while he goes to earn food and
clothes for the family. Since the
shoe factory, where many of the now

THE NEW BOOKS
Some van Dyke Verse.

1.-THE Grand Canyon and Other
Poems" is a little book of verse by
DR.. Henry van Dyke. Most of it con-
Germs the West; the Grand Canyon,
the mountains, trout-fshing, Indians,
and spring-spring as 1t comes to
Shasta Jim:
''She doesn't. come too suddin, nor she
doesn't come too slow;
Her gaits is some cayprishus, an the
next We never know
A single-foot O. sunshine, a buck O.
snow er hail.
But don't be disappointed, for Spring

A miscellany of subjects completes
the book, and a verse-sequence on
"The Little-Neck Clam" is something
of a stunt, showing how subject
may be treated to make poetry adapt
ed to the style of different magazines.
A humorous touch is given in the last
poem, "Ars Agricolaris," an ode to a

The Open Column

Editor The Missourian May
ask if "S. j." who criticized United
States evaluation of railroads in the
Open Column of the Missourian, made
any attempt to inform himself of that
commissions work? Does he realize
the economic necessity of correct
evaluation of the property owned or
operated by the roads in order that
intelligent legislation or control may
be attempted?
Does he understand that to arrive
at this the following data must be
known: the original cost and present
worth of every foot of road bed eth
er in cut or fill; the cost and present
worth of all culverts, bridges. station
buildings, warehouses, elevators,
shops and terminals; the first cost,
maintainence and deterioration of
rolling stock, yards and road bed; the
first cost and present worth of rail-
road and real estate and right of way?
Does he happen to know that at
the present time there exists only a
very small portion of such data, that
the notes of the original surveys and
record of construction costs of almost
every road that is over twenty years
old have disappeared?

ations, only suggest that he person
ally inspect party at their work and

IRWIN COBB on JOURNALISM
No Such Thing as q Born Writer,
He Says.

He Says.
Irwin S. Cobb, who will speak here
Journalism Week. recently talked to
Yale students about journalism and
writing. The Brooklyn Eagle says
editorially about Mr.. Cobb's talk:
"Some of the remarks of Irwin S.
Cobb to Yale men looking forward to
a career in journalism indicate keen
insight and broad philosophy. For
example.
Writing is trade to be
learned. like bricklaying.
/ don't think there is such a
thing as a born writer.
A college education neither
makes nor mars a man if he is
born to be a newspaper mani
do not say born newspaper
man.
Good reporters are the scarcest
and most valuable things in the
newspaper business of today.
The best thing | ever wrote was
a story in daily newspaper.
Probably no one remembers it
but me, but l know l have never
done anything better.
One of the best features of a
course in journalism is that it is
good as an antidote for too much
study of English. The tendency
of many courses in literature is
to give the idea that the English
language is an end and not a
means.
1--WE commend especially that last
suggestion. The fellow who has moth
ing to say can't get into the news col
umns of daily paper, no matter how
skillfully he writes his nothings. He
may have studied Addison. He may
initiate De Quincy in sentence forma-
tion. He may, in his own Judgment,
be a Dickens and a Hawthorne in one.
But the question of the blue-pencil
arbitrator is What has happened?"
and the worth of the happening is
what counts. Language is means,
not an end That. indeed, is what it
should be in all literature"

THAT QUESTION OF SALARY.

The Board of Visitors to the Uni
versity of Missouri recently reported
to the Governor of the state A re-
port of their report says:
"In speaking of the salaries that
should be paid members OF the facul-
ty. the board wonders how the Uni
versity keeps its instructors. Con-
sidering the learning and capabili-
ties of those employed at Rolla and
Columbia, ii is a wonder that any of
them have remained in our service
49, 1t is shown that the maximum
salaries paid here are we'll below
the maximum in other schools of no
higher rank"
This is a sorry indictment. And
it is true, every word of It, Some Of
its faculty men the University has
failed to keep. Their loss has been
a very real loss to the educational
circles of the state.
That salary question again! Isn't
Missouri a state big enough to pay
well when she is we'll served? Starv-
ing the mind is a dangerous economy.

One Good Story

An illustration of the awful possi-

there at 7:45 with eight friends. for
the telegram when it reached her

needy families were given work, is

capacity, the families are destitute.
Each case is carefully investigated
by the Charity Organization before
aid is given. Only in the most strin-
gent cases is money given. The idea
is not to help the family for the one
day by a small donation of money,
but to find work for the bread winner
so that the necessity for a second call
on charity is obviated.

LET JOHN DO 1T.

Let John do it. This generally
means that it won't be done at all, but
in this particular instance it means
that John-not one, but three of him
do it with remarkable results.
James o. Curwood is an American
writer much in fortunes favor just
now. He writes a novel or two each
year, several short stories for the
magazines and numerous motion
picture scenarios. In this last branch
of his work he employs three young
women who do nothing but read, his
tory mostly, all day long day after
day. When Mr. Curwood is ready to
write a scenario he calls them to
him, they tell him the substance of
what they have read, and he selects
details with which he builds up the
scenario. Truly the modern, depart
mentalized, rushing way of doing
things, and as a result Mr.. Curwood's
income from this source is reported
in fabulously large figures.
All this recalls to mind the way in
which another class of writers have
used history, the plodding writer's
who look up things for themselves.
Tolstoy, for instance, spent years in
the study of history before writing
some of his novels. After conceiving
the idea for "The Other Wise Man.
Van Dyke read volume upon volume
Of ancient history in order that he
might give that lasting little story of
his real character Turn to any great
work that relies upon facts for its
substance and the chances are that
its author did the same.
So while Mr.. Curwood has been
able to get John to do It for him he
gets from it only scenarios; in JUS
tice to him the only end for which
he strives. His best works, his nov
els, are the result of his own exper~
ience and investigation. So it is with
all best things. It takes the intimate
knowledge OF personal digging to
produce them: John can't do it for
you.

-ALKATIvENE ESS Is hall
mark Of femininity. a silent
woman may be admirable. but
she stirs uneasiness. She is
like a moon in eclipse. IN! sterious
and fascinating. but not for daily
life. Tho new woman bent on max

talkativeness. To allow the simple
interests Of daily life to run uncon-
sciously and merrily on the tongue

Gus career she has planned fog wom-
ankind. Not that she would shut
her mouth. Far from it. She would
make her conversattonalist, not

ton between the two that there Is
between the agriculturist and the
life. for while the aSriculturist Is

farmer goes on forever.
For q habit which persists through
the ages, in the face Of censure and

By morning most. if not all. Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
