CHEAPER GAS in THIS TOWN.

The order of the Missouri Public
Utilities Commission, published in
today's Missourian, reducing the rates
charged for gas by the Columbia Gas
Company, will, of course. be well
coined by gas-consumers.
The action of the Public Utilities
Commission shows the power of pub
licity and public opinion. The Mis-
sourian's campaign of publicity on
the gas question voiced the public
opinion of this community. The Or
der of the Commission is the result.
The lower rates should work no
hardship to the owners of the gas
works. Added consumption which
the reduction will cause will doubt
less Offset any temporary loss Of
revenue. However this may be, the
new rates are fair to the consumer
even if the dividends of the gas
works are lessened.
The reduction in gas rates by the
gas works which an outside COM
pany owns, should be promptly fol-
lowed by a substantial reduction in
electricity rates hnd the establish
ment of a supply store by the city
water and light department which
we all own.

is AMERICA PROGRESSIVE!

Americans are inclined to regard
the English as a people that cling to
outworn and absurd political GUS
toms. AS a matter of fact, our Brit
ish cousins are more progressive in
this regard than we Americans are.
The point is that in England that
absurdities that they hang on to are
harmless absurdities like some of
the royal prerogatives and officials
with obsolete functions. When they
find that an institution or custom
blocks progress, they get rid of 1t.
Notice. for example, how neatly they
disnosed to the House of Lords when
II got in the way of progressive leg
islation.
In America we have a mucn less
rational reverence for things as they
ora We are more conservative and
d;strustful of political change. We
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1915-02-04
don't discriminate between HARM
less and harmful absurdities.

don't discriminate between harm
less and harmful absurdities.
For example, take that time-hon-
ored institution, the filibuster. 1t has
become hallowed by a century Of use
and by legends of long-winded hero
ism, until our legislators would be
loath to part with it. And yet it has
been used again and again to block
legislation.
In England they have made safe
guards against obstructionist tactics
of this sort. 1t is possible in the
House of Commons, for instance, to
limit speeches and to close debate.
But in America We like to travel
along in the same old rut. The Eng
lish appear to learn from exper-
ience; Americans do not We can't
rightly jeer at English conservatism,
at any rate not as far as political in
stitutions are concerned.

MODERN WARFARE.

All that once made war spectacular,
brilliant, in a sense fascinating, is a
thing of the past. Under the present
conditions warfare is merely slaugh-
ter at long range and by machinery.
1t is slaughter without the romance
of old time battle. No more Paul Re-
we're rides, nc more Sherman raids,
but in their place the Zeppelin that
sails at a safe height over eommu-
mites of nop-combatants pouring
down upon them destruction and
murder.
On the sea there has been colossal
destruction and pitiful loss of life,
but no single combat under equal and
fair conditions. On both sides many
ships have been struck by an unseen
foe from the depth of the sea or from
explosive mines so placed as to trap
the unwary.
In such warfare there is no circum-
stance of fine inspiration. 1t tends
to nothing but horror Surely there
can come out of this war nothing but
the fact of universal peace.

CENSORED NEWSPAPER.

The Missourian is a censored news
paper.
Censored newspapers are of two
kinds-those which are censored by
some outside person, principality or
potentate and those which are CEN
sored from within and by themselves.
Some newspapers in all countries and,
just now in war times, all newspa-
pers to a certain degree in some
countries, are in the first division. 1t
requires the censor from the outside
to keep them from transgressing the
proper limits of publication or, at
least, those who control the press
think so. Sometimes this censorship
is for an evil purpose, the suppress
sion of news which the public has
right to know or the warping of hon.
est comment. At other times and
elsewhere it may require the censor,
as sort of policemans club, to keep
an irresponsible journal from doing
damage through reckless if not mali
cious publicity or discussion. At all
times, however, the censorship of the
press from the outside is dangerous
and liable to lead to evil results.
The other kind of censorship is by
the newspapers own conscience.
With no outside censorship limiting
its freedom of speech, it recognizes
its responsibility to add care in state
ment. Having no outside guardian,
it takes larger precaution to publish
only the truth and only that truth
which will best serve the public well
fare. 1t is subject to the most rigid
censorship-all its own. 1t is this
kind of censorship, increasing in the
freer nations, which is making the
other kind of censorship unnecessary
as it is undesirable.
The Missourian is a censored news
paper-but it is Of the kind that CEN
sors itself.

PHELPS BILL PASSES SENATE
Provides New Audit Of University
Funds-OppOsed by Harris,

The bill introduced by State Sena-
tor William H. Phelps, providing that
all appropriations out of the revenue
and collateral inheritance funds of
the state be paid by warrant drawn
by the state auditor, passed the Sen
ate yesterday by vote of 25 to 5.
State Senator Frank Harris of Co
lumbia fought the measure vigorously.
There is no need of such law, he
declared. Senators Carter, Moore,
Yancey and Rogers also voted against
the measure.
at is the duty of the auditor now,
under the law passed two years ago."
said Senator Harris, ito check up
the accounts of the University and
other state institutions each year. If
he has not done this, he has not done
his duty There has been no squan-
dering or misappropriation of funds.
The bill, if passed, will have the eff
feet of taking the management of the
state institutions out of the hands of
the Board of Managers and placing it
in the hands of the state auditor.
at is placing in the hands of the
auditor a big stick to hold over the
University and giving him a political
machine such as We have never be-
fore seen in this state. The bill is
against the best interests of the insti-
tutions and will prove an absolute
detriment to them"
Senator Phelps, defending his
measure, denied that he held i'll feel
ing toward the University.
Il am a friend of the University and
1 want to see it prosper and do good
work" he said.
The emergency clause of the bill
also was adopted. If the bill is
passed by the House, it will become
effective as soon as it receives the
approval of the governor.

The Open Column
The City Manager Plan.

Editor The Missourian:-Col
can take up the improved commits
sion form of government when the
bill creating city managers for mu-
inequalities of the third class in Mis-
souri, becomes law.
We are told that Columbia's aspi-
rations to commission government
are unconstitutional, and anyway,
Columbia would be unsatisfied with
the present law as soon as the new
plan became feasible. The pro-
posed bill is the last word in small
city government and would use lat
est business methods in running the
city.
The manager is supreme-so long
as things run smoothly. Being man
specially trained for the job, he is
given a free hand until his work
proves unsatisfactory. The ease
with which he may be removed makes
it imperative that he administer wise
ly.
While the legislative powers or
dinarily rest with the commission Of
five men, elected by popular vote, a
wise provision gives the voters power
to initiate legislation. The city gov
ernment is brought much nearer the
people than under former plans. At
the same time it is made more effec-
tive through the GENERALIZATION of ex-
ecutive power.
The city manager plan should
prove long step forward in solving
the problem of small-city govern
ment. M.

The Literary Trawler

In his own life, then, man is not
to expect happiness, only to profit
by it gladly when it shall arise; he
is on duty here; he knows not how
or why, and does not need to know;
he knows not for what hire, and must
not ask. Somehow or other, though
he does not know what goodness is,
he must try to be good; somehow or
other, though he cannot tell what will
do it, he must try to give happiness
to others.-R. l.. Stevenson.
