Senator Stone at Capital on Mission.
Washington, May 7.--Senator Will
liam j. Stone of Missouri arrived
in Washington Thursday and was
much sought on account of rumors
which spread about, in news
paper circles in particular, that
he had been summoned to the capital
either by the secretary Of state or
by the president to confer on inter
national questions, which are more or
less acute just now. At the White
House and at the State Department
1t was stated no summons had been
given the Missouri senator, and the
latter himself denied that he had re-
ceived any summons.
The senator will be here for sew
eral days, and expects to see the pres
ident before he departs. He has
made no engagement so far at the
White House or State Department.
Curiosity concerning his visit to
Washington was aroused chiefly be-
cause Of his being the head of the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate.

Columbia, Mo-, May 5.-As I write
this I have mt heard the result Of the
bond election. But what ever the
verdict Of the people l hope that It
will be accepted by the minority with
good grace and a sweet smile, one of
those all wool, a yard wide and fast
black smiles guaranteed not to rub
off or in, It's mighty easy to viii
and smile but it is a great deal more
worth while TO lose and grin.
Mexico is going to arrive. Column
bia with its magnificent income from
the University and the student body
has exceptional advantages and they
are making The mont Of them as their
growth and progress in the past de-
eade goes to show. Mexico will do
the same thing as soon as we agree
to forget the little things which fan
petty jealousy and organize to work
as one for the city's betterment.
Mexico will never be any greater
than we make it. We cannot expect
everyone to line up in the parade for
its greater improvement for that
would shatter every historical pre-
eedent. But there always has been
and will always be sufficient progress
sive citizens in The Optimistic City
to shoulder the burden and meet the
issues, as they come, with encourage
ment and work.
Because a citizen is working for
what he thinks is best for Mexico is
no cause for those who disagree with
him to make the matter a personal
one, Many times the Ledger has
been accused Of a mercenary purpose
in its fight for improvements by cit
liens who, when they sought some
thing they felt Mexico needed, forgot
their criticism Of a few months be-
fore and slipping their hammer into
the scabbard fell into line. Matters
Of public interest should never be
allowed to assum the microscopic
proportions Of personal prejudice.
When they do the good Of the commun
ity is stunted and no benefit can come
of it.
Mexico is a wonderful little city;
you appreciate this fact the more
when you get away and can view it in
perspective. The citizenship is Of an
unusually high standard and is noted,
wherever You 20, for its progressive
spirit and conservative judgement.

Columbia, MO-, may b.--W wrestling
with the night wind, across the cam
pus and among the stately columns,
the following epic. reminiscent bf
the battle line at Neuve Chappelle
and every ~incessant vietrola, came to
US last night as the child of the spirit
of ~burlesque, an attribute of no
mean proportions among American
under-classmen:
It's a long way to Kansas City,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Kansas City,
Where the beer and whisky flow.
Good by Sarsaprilla,
Fare well and good by,
It's . long,Iong way to Kansas City,
Since Mexico went Dry.
1t is interesting to note, since the
above verse introduces the subject,
that since Mexico followed Columbia,
and eliminated the manufacture of
human blotters, they now refer to the
University pupils as students and not
as "Stewed-nuts."
At the meeting Wednesday, Miss
Marie Rose, society editress Of the

The following clipping taken from
the Carson City New News, of the
November 10th issue, gives an account
of a football game in which an Indian
team under the tutorsbip OF Samuel
j. Mclean, son of our James Mclean,
who is disciplinarian and athletic TO-
structor of the Indian school at that
place, showed great class:
In the football game between the
Indians Of the Stewart Institute and
the Reno High yesterday, the Indians
defeated the Reno boys by a score OF
73 toe, which proves the argument
that all the Indian boys needed was
practice at the game. This is the
first season they have played, and in
fact they had never even had The o.
portunity Of Witnessing a real game
before theywere organized by Samuel
j. Mclean and drilled during the
past few weeks for the contests which
they have entered.
The'game was played on the Indi-
an field at the Stewart Institute and
the Reno team was clearly outclassed
from start to finish in all departments
of the game. The Reno PLAYERS
gained ten yards once during the en-
tire game, while the Indian backs
and ends simply ran, rings around
them and gained from 10 to so yards
in end runs. Both teams were evenly
matched in weight, and the Iudians
played great game and their inter
ference was considered by the Reno
coach as the best be has seen.
From the manner in which the In
dians played the game yestt r Law it Ia
