The Open Column
Gardens and Rubbish HeapS.

Editor the Missourian: A Colum-
bian planted a flower garden this
spring, He spent time in cultivating
it. He constructed a fountain and
stone benches. He marked out paths
and installed electric lights. He was
proud of his achievement. He exhibit
ed the garden to visitors, and they
went away pleased. They pointed him
out as an exceptional man.
The day came when he grew care
less. He began to sweep the dust
from his house into the garden. Tin
cans, debris from repairs on his
house, packing boxes and other rub
bish followed. His once beautiful
garden. Barrels of plaster from store
Now, no one will believe this story.
The thought of a business man with
an appreciation of the beautiful de-
stroying his work is ridiculous. Yet
this is exactly what some Columbia
citizens are doing. They are making
rubbish heap of Broadway.
The pavement has been well swept;
lighting system, including electro
liers larger in number than is found
in most cities of Columbia's size, has
been installed; flower boxes have
been placed at each street intersec-
ton, and signs making the paths for
traffic have been placed-all this with
the intention of making Broadway the
show spot" of Columbia, that visitors
may be given a good impression of
the city and leave for their homes
with words of praise.
But Columbia's garden is fast fol-
lowing the fate of the business mans

rooms undergoing repairs, piano
boxes, packing cases and sweepings
from the stores find their places at

usual sight on Columbia's man thor

HE sCORNED POLITICAL FAME

The late Judge William Muir Will
liams lived and died in the house In
which he was born at Boonville. Fame
came to him and lawyers from all
parts of Missouri and even from other
states climbed the wooden stairs lead
ing to his office door, seeking his ad-
vice on important cases. Judge Will
liams found Boonville large enough
for his one ambition-to be a good
lawyer. He began the study of law
when a deputy in a county office.
Many tempting political honors were
dangled before him in his long and
useful life but he steadfastly refused
to be drawn into the whirl of politics.
Once he was named to the supreme
court of the state but later resigned
and refused to accept the renomina-
tion rendered him. Many better and
laws resulted from his ef-
forts. He always tried to settle out
side of courtrooms the woes and
quarrels of mankind brought to his
ears. When final summons came,
death found Judge Williams at his
desk-a good lawyer, unafraid-Mis-

1874 ENROLLED IN MANUAL ARTS

NUMBER is Largest iii HlStOTy VI De-
partment-New Equipment Added.
Students taking courses in the de-
partment of manual arts of the Uni
yersity number 1874 this semester,
compared with 16O for the first Sc
mester of last year. This semester's
enrolment is the largest in the his
tory of the department.
The department is better able than
ever to take care of the increased en-
rollment because of the equipment
that has been added. A complete new
system of shavings exhaust pipes in
the woodworking room take the shaw
ings to dumps on the ground floor.
There are also new safety switches
and grinder, the latter especially in
teresting because it's delivery took
from September, 1915, to August, 1916,
as result of pressure of war orders.
In addition, four speed lathes are be-
ing made by students. The machines
that were wrecked in the fire of the
old Manual Arts Building have been
repaired and are ready for use.

BATHTUBS AND MOTOR CARS

Two automobiles to one bathtub.
This was but one of the many start
ling facts recently unearthed by a
commission sent out to investigate
living conditions among Iowa farmers.
1t is a condition probably true of Mis-
souri, or any other state of the great
Middle West agricultural territory as
we'll.
In the midst of statistics On the
increased number of automobiles In
use, how often do we stop to consider
how many other things the farmer
or the city man, either-does not have.
OF the advantages of motor car in
widening ones sphere of contact
little more need be said; but of the
disadvantage of living without bath
tubs-the symbol of an adequate
water system-there is much to be
said.
Cleanliness may have been meant
to take second place to godliness, but
certainly never to gad-about-iness
Contact with ones fellow-beings may
be necessary to the proper culture of
the soul, but contact with soap and
water is much more necessary to the
proper culture of the body, without
which the soul is gone.
Lack of bathtubs is but one phase
of the problem. Inadequate facilities
for carrying off waste and refuse, a
polluted water supply, diseased live
stock, lack of knowledge of the most
elementary facts Of personal hygiene
and improper means Of caring for the
sick are some other aspects of the
situation that demand notice, and what
is more, remedies.
1t all means, of course, that too
little attention is paid to rural health
and sanitation, whereas the same

The enrolment in the College of

THE WHY OF WILSON AND Hill
This is not a political editorial.

This is not political editorial.
A recent communication to the Mis-
sourian from one of its valued readers
censures the paper severely for its
familiarity with the names of national
and local dignitaries. This week
noticed" the reader writes, headlines
which read thus: Wilson's Sister
Dead Wilson Wins Unions and
Hill Praises Underclassmen.' Many
centuries ago a great teacher and
leader of men taught that respect is
due to those in authority. 1t seems
10 me that a paper which is published
by the School of Journalism, whose
zane is national-a paper which is,
| believe, the official organ of the
state university should give to the
chief executive of this nation his Of
fetal title and likewise the president
of the Univ ersity.''
The Missourian is not disrespectful
to those in authority. The familiarity
which is censured by the reader is
that of respect. We never refer to
the great English dramatist as Mr..
William Shakespeare nor to the first
president of the nation as Mr.. George
Washington. Nor do we refer to Mis-
souri's late poet laureate as Mr.
Eugene Field 1t is either Washing
ton, Shakespeare or Gene Field. 1t
is not disrespectful use buC one of
familiar reverence and respect
Furthermore, type has a certain
standard of measurement. AS there
are fixed standards of poetical lines.
SO there are fixed standards of head
lines.
The Daily Missourian is not the
organ fof an institution. 1t is con-
Quoted by a corporation whose MEM
bers and board of directors are STU
dents in the School of Journalism.
Its interests are those of the Univer-
sity merely as a newspaper which |
wishes to further the growth of the |
institution and of Columbia. 1t is |
not a partisan journal. Its editorials |
and its editorial policy are enlisted |
only in what it deems right.
When the interests of Columbia, the |
University or Boone County are at
stake, there you will find the Missou-
rian to defend them. , Its statements
are unbiased and independent.

Washington's birthday.
There are three classes of people
in the United States today, pacificists,
led by William J. Bryan who are for
peace at any price; militarists, with
Theodore Roosevelt as leader, who
want a great standing army with the

preparedness. The latter class is lar
