THE GAME OF POLITICS

Baseball is often called THE Ameri-
can pastime or THE National sport
But is it?
Few Americans aren't glad to see a
good game of ball, and few there are
who do not know the inside dope" on
the game and players. But is baseball
really Americas greatest game?
Next to the weather, politics is the
most nationally talked subject in
America With no set rules it is sub
ject to every mans whim and opinion
and is quite as variable as the wealth
er.
From the young men turning twen-
ty-one and the young women agitating
equal suffrage TO the oldest old men
and the youngest old women, politics
is common topic. Fascinating as a
horse race, interesting as game OF
bridge or intricate problem, yet as un-
certain as an egg marked strictly
fresh," it has an appeal which grows
ever stronger with age and wisdom.
In every walk of life, from the
cracker-box politician, from the butch
er and baker and candle-stick maker
to the city's busiest business man,
politics is the bond of common inter-
est
Yes, east is east and west is west, |
but the subject which holds them to-
gether, in winter as well as summer,
in the mornings and evenings as well |
as the afternoons, is not baseball but |
politics, which above all others seems
truly to be THE national game.

THE JEFFERSON MONUMENT

What does the Jefferson monument
mean to you?
Have you ever paused before it?
Have you ever stopped to think of the
significance Of this simple granite
slab, transported here to the campus
of the first University established in
the Louisiana Purchase, after it had
marked. for half a century, the grave
of the statesman at Monticello?
As a monument to a great man.

ed it with a larger monument, and the
historic slab was brought TO Columbia,

daughter to the first university of the

and his inestimable contributions to
posterity. 1t will do you good.

The Open Column
Tit Cut.Out Fiend.

Editor the Missourian: Most cities
of Columbia's size have stringent ordi-
nances preventing motorists from
using their cut-outs within the city
limits. or al least in the residence dis
tricts. But this city has no such regu-
lation, and the privilege is often abus-
ed by carless drivers.
In many instances the use of the
cut-Out has grown TO be a nuisance.
This is especially true late at night in
the residence portions of the city.
Tired citizens are asleep or trying 10
WOO slumber. when the cut-Out fiend
passes by the open window with a
series of explosions which can be
heard for several blocks.
Persons living in the vicinity of fra
ternity and sorority houses are often
annoyed and kept awake for hours
after the close of a dance, as a result
of the failure of unthinking drivers to
use their mufflers. In the majority OF
cases the annoyance caused is min-
territorial. but some motorists seem to
take 4 particular delight i'm producing
the most possible noise at every pos
sible time.
Some method of curbing the cut-out
fend would be welcomed by all Co.
lumbia residents who do not possess
extraordinarily strong nerves.

More City Trees Haggled.

Editor of the MissOurian: Four
beautiful elms planted some twenty
years ago by G. b. Rollins of this city
were ruined in an hour by the en-
ployes of the city water and light de-
partment.
Not satisfied that the wires over
hung the property of the Columbia
Club and that the cOmpany's pole
was located inside the sidewalk line
and there without permission of the
property owner-these agents tres
passed upon the property and, with
out consent or notification, removed
the tops, took out the central leader
and ruthlessly destroyed several hun
dred dollars worth of fine shade trees
After destroying the trees. the COM
pany removed its poles and wires to
the parking, entirely out of line of the
trees. As a matter of fact the poles
and wires should be located in the
alley which runs through the middle of
the block and which is maintained
for the purpose. All the saving claim
ed by the light company for five years
will not replace the destruction done
in this one last week to the shade
trees in Columbia.
Have we any pride in our city?
Why is the Civic League?

THE NEED OF COST SYSTEMS

Efficient management of any bust
ness has become known as scientific
management. The aim of the business
expert is to work out methods scien-
tifically to eliminate all possible waste
The cost system is one of these scien-
tific discoveries for the retail business,
farm, industrial establishment and
manufacturing plant.
Money invested in financial enter
prises should produce the greatest
amount of dividends or the numerous
articles sold daily should be placed Oh
the market at the cheapest price pos
sible. If the guess-and-miss system
is used. no one knows with accuracy
what it costs to make an article, no y
much to charge for service or work
rendered, what certain department

Of the business, it can easily be

increased farm expenses. He soon saw
the value in dispensing of animals

COLISEUM, ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June
1.-THE National Democratic Con-
vention is in session this afternoon. Al
this time tomorrow the convention
could be adjourned with all of its
business completed-Mr. Wilson and
MIR. Marshall nominated, the rough
edges of the platform sandpapered to
4 dance hall finish and the entire
woodwork adopted, the delegates re-
turning to the sessions which occu-
pied so much time on the trains I'D to
St Louis.
But that is not the program. For
three days the convention crowds must

suffrage workers, from the jefferson
Hotel to the Coliseum, will not outdo
the golden lane of hotel and res
taurant bills from the pockets of the
visitors to the pocketbooks of the
home folks.
The worry of ST. LOuisians is not
about who will be nominated for vice
president. They fear that the dele
gates may stampede the convention,
attend to the business and leave for
home before the end of the three
golden days. taking the greater part
of their rolls with them.
The convention, as useless as it is,
will be a wonderful success. The at
tendance is large, noisy and enthusi-
astic. A ticket to the Coliseum today
was worth more than two Rhodes
scholarships in st. Louis.

ball game there would be no doubt

the only difference between a conven-
