DEBATING SOCIETIES MEET.
Prof. Shepard Speaks to Members Of
the N. S. U. Club.

Prof. W. ]. Shepard discussed in
tercollegiate and intramural debating
before the NJ. S. U. Debating Clul
at its first meeting Saturday night. De-
bates this year will be held with Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas and Wisconsin
Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri will
form the triangle this year, each con-
testing with the other two. The
single tax will be the subject for
these debates.
Professor Shepard told of the great
interest at Wisconsin in intramural
debating. In discussing this phase he
said the greatest value of debating to
the University is ITO develop a gen.
eral ability on the part of a large
number of students to speak intelli-
gently on their feet before a reason
ably large assembly.
The Athenaean Literary Society,
holder Of two cups awarded for
placing the largest number of men
on the interstate debating squad,
held its first meeting in Room $40,
Academic Hall.

WEALTH IS HANDICAP
TO STUDENTS, HE SAYS
DIR. R. l.. Wilbur of Leland
Stanford, Jr., U. Practi-
cally Bars "Idle Rich.
MUSTN'T OWN AUTOS
Circular Sent Out Prohibits
Taxis and Flowers for
the Goods.
By United Press.

| BY Unlteu Fres5.
PAL ALTO, Cal, Sept. 25.-
Wealth is a handicap to the college
student and the poor boy has the ad-
vantage, according to DR.. Ray Lyman
Wilbur president Of Leland Stanford
University, in statement today.
As a consequence of this belief
Doctor Wilbur decreed that beginning
this year autos may not be owned by
students; that too frequent dances, the
purchase of expensive flowers for CO.
eds 'and similar luxuries will be
banned.
Doctor Wilbur has sent a circular
letter to students parents saying STU
dents with too much money are not
desired at the school, if they are in.
clined to spend their time in the pur-
suit of pleasure.
Urges Small Allowances.
The letter urges parents to refrain
from too liberal allowances and warns
them that as the number of entrants
this year is limited. those students
who fail to show they are doing hon
est work will not be permitted to re-
main.
Stanford does not particularly seek
poor boys and discourage the entrance
of the wealthy, Doctor Wilbur ex-
plains, but experience has shown that
the poor boy has, on the whole, made
a better record, both as a student and
afterwards. His appeal, Doctor Will
bur says, is an endeavor to save the
wealthy lad from his own particular
dangers.
1T takes time to run an automo-
bile and it often leads to life off the
campus, to extravaganza and much
foolishness," says the circular, ad-
ding: There is plenty to do in the
way of variety right at the university,
with its swimming pools, athletic
fields, gymnasiums, beautiful walks
and the like.
There is no need to go to San

JUDGE HENRY LAMM

Tomorrow Judge Henry Lamm
comes to Columbia as the Republican
candidate for Governor. His coming
as the leader of state political
party should make his welcome none
the less sincere. Judge Lamm prob
ably realizes that Boone County will
not go Republican in November. 1t is
likely that he scheduled his Boone
County speech just to give his many
friends a close range view of himself
in the fighting clothes of political
contest-for Judge Lamm is fighter.
Hale and hearty at 20 he is stump
ing the state with the fire and en-
thusiasm of a man of thirty. He is
an example for young men, for al
though old in years he is as young
and fresh in spirit as the youngest
University student.
Judge Lamm will probably not car
ry Boone County politically, but he
can carry away with him the knowl-
edge that political difference does not
alter Boone County's hospitality to
him.

A Royal Snake Staughterer.

The secretary bird is one of the most precious birds in South Africa It is royal game. and any person de- stroying one is liable to 8 fine of $50 Majestic looking birds. they stand about three feet high and generally go in pairs They are of drab color with black, feathcry legs, and are valued for their propensity for killing snakes. Where the secretary bird is seen there are sure to be many reptiles about The bird beats down it's adversary first with one wing and then with the other, at the same time trampling on 1t with its feet until the snake is sufi- ciently stunned to catch it by the head with its claws. Then the bird rises far up in the air and drops it's victim to the ground to be killed. By this means thousands of venomous reptiles are de stroyed.-LOndOn Scraps.

MormOns Trapped.

FL PASO, March 17.-It is report ed here that the troop of United States cavalry under command of Col. Dodd is making all speed for Casas Grandes, where it is said, Villa and his followers have the members of the Mormon colony near that town in trap and is preparing to slaugh- ter and plunder them.
 Every effort is being made by the troops to reach the place before Villa can take the town. It is believed the Mormons have been apprised of Will las movements and have adopted some measure of self-protection. but their number is so insignificant and they are SO lacking in proper arms that their defense will be of short du- ration.
 It is believed that the American troops will be able to reach the place in time to save the colony from de- struction.

BULBS IN A BOWL.
An Easy Way to cultivate Miniature
 Eloattno Cardena.

FIoattn0 Garoen8.
 A novel way of growing bulbs. such as crOruscs. has teen tried with good success. After securing che bulbs the next thing is to get one or two rnther large cOrks. Through these holes are bored and the bulbs fitted into the openings in such way that the under side. from which the roots spring. Is near the lower part of the cork.
 Now obtain u large shallow bowl and 6ll this with pure water. Float the corks. with the bulbs in place. on the surface and set the whole thing aside in a rather shady position for two or three weeks. At the end of this time it will be noticed that the roots are growing down into the water: thence forward place in sunny window should be selected. ....
 The upper shoots of the bulbs will start to grow rapidly, and at this time It is good plan to arrange little moss to hide the upper surface of the corlss. or. if preferred. however. grass 0r. some other seed. such as. cress. may he sown to provide a green covering.
 There, is nothing to do but to keep the bowl well supplied with water and change this now, and again. Finally the 1owers emerge. and then the effect is extremely pretty. The bulbs may be planted in this way any time up to early. January. though naturally the sooner they are started the earlier they will bloom.-S. Leonard Bastin in St. Nicholas.

WcTORIA'S LETTERS.
Royal Secrets That Are Stored Away
 h Buckingham Palace. ...

Hoydb secrets mat Are Storeo away
 h Buckingham Palace ..
 We may wonder if the world will ever be allowed to see the private cor respondence amassed by the late Queen Victoria says a writer. It Is stored away in a strong room built into the walls of Buckingham palace. and the queen shared her confidence with no one.
 So long as she was physically able to do so she opened and closed the safe herself and arranged its contents. When she was too feeble to do this she employed an old and trusted secretary. but even he had to work under the royal eye He was never allowed to keep the keys nor to read the letters that he handled.
 Queen Victoria was always s volumi' nous letter writer. and she was in con- stant communication with most of the royalties in Europe. Every domestic secret and privacy of royalty during half q century is said to be represented by the contents of this wonderful safe. and it is easy to believe that the mod ern historian would find his hands full if he were permitted t" browse among these letters.
 But probably ne will nave to wait a few hundred years. and then his pop ular audience will be q languid one. It is one of the ironies of life that we can never have thing when we want it, Pittsburgh Press.

COL, RICHARDSON
 GOES ID BORDER
MAY NOT RETURN TO ALASKA
Said to Have Taken Command of Regiment of Troops that Will GC to Mexico Immediately.


 lay last, printed an Associated dis latch to the effect that Col. w. P. richardson, chairman of the Alaska load Commission, had joined the United States troops on the Mexican ,order and had taken command of a egiment .a... /,
 All efforts to obtain an off1cia' onfirmation of the dispatch here have cen without success. Major David ;on, the ranking officer of the Road Commission at present, stated to c representative of the Prospector that le had heard rumor to the effect; hat Col. Richardson, was with the roops on the border. and had also. cad the dispatch in the Times, but, hat no official communication to this effect had been received here. ; !
 Major Davidson stated that he be- ieved Col. Richardson would well ;ome the opportunity to go to Mexico in the event of trouble there, and that it was not at all improbable the press dispatch was correct. Whether. or not Col. Richardson would retire permanently from the Road Commis- sion, in the event he had assumed command of a hody of troops along the border, or would be merely tenn porarily absent, Major Davidson said he was unable to state at this time, as the latest communications he had received from Washington had made no reference to any change in the Commission. He said, however, he expected to hear from Col. Richard son personally within 8 few days.
 Intimate friends of Colonel Rich ardson here, say that the report of his being assigned command of a reg iment of troops on the Mexican bor- der does not come exactly as sur prise, as the Colonel had intimated before he started for Washington that such might be the outcome.
 Col. Richardson has held the posi- tion of Chairman of the Commission since the creation of that body, and under his direction has been done practically all the work on the gov ernmeut roads and trail in the Terri tory. It is due largely to his jnde- fatigible efforts, both in securing the necessary appropriations and in di- recting the work, that the Territory now has a system of roads aud trails that have been all important factor in the development of the country.
 His work on the Valdez-Fairbanks road alone, q work in which he took the deepest pride, and which he hop ed to see become the main artery of travel between the coast and the in- terior is sufficient to have earned him the gratitude of every resident of this division. Hampered by meagre ap- propriations which had to be thinly spread over the whole territory, he has brought this road from a mere trail blazed through the forests, to a highway equal to that in many an older section of the country. over which, for a greater portion of the year automobiles carry passengers and freight without difficulty and at high speed.
 Colonel Richardson will be greatly missed if he does not return to Alas ka, where among his friends may be counted practically every person in this division, If not in the whole terri tory, and there will always be q warm spot in tho heart of every Alaskan for Colonel Dick"
