The Yale Advance.

Judging from the keenness with which Yale has gone in for spring football practice, next fall is going to bring about a decided change in Eli affairs. The most encouraging feature in Yale football is that Tad Jones, Mike Sweeney and Captain Black all have the personal mag netism that makes for the best type of leadership, and this means new enthusiasm that New Haven hasn't seen for a long long time.
 Yale was at first surfeited and stale with victory up to 1908. Then she vent stale with defeat. The hour is about ripe for the renaissance.

A Camp Song of the Giants. The bitter days on us now Across the dreary fold; The laurel no more Wreathes our
 brow
 As in the days of old; The cheering that once came our
 way
 Is silent now, and still, Where black defeat holds us at bay And life has lost it's thrill; But as the drifting shadow hears Across our pathway strung, We hold one dream of vanished When Mattys arm was young Deep in the Barren Lands at last We face the hopeless fight Where mOcking echoes of the past Return beyond the night. And ghosts Of glory and renown Come back from Long Ago To haunt us as we gallOp down The way that leads to woe; But when along the vanuuished beat The morunful dirge is sung, We hold one dream beyond defeat- When Matty's arm was young
 
 game
 Where all must one day yield; We know the fickleness of fame Along the open field; We know the bitterness that comes To those who've held command. When from afar the muffled drums Roll back across the land; But as we reel and fall today. The broken clans among, One dream they cannot take away When Mattys arm was young.
 The season is of course a trif1e soon and demure. But so far we have beard little or no loud cheering from those who picked Cleveland to give the Mackmen a terrible battle for last place

Appreciation Of Lectures,

Editor The Missourian: The value
of lectures often goes unheeded. Nc
week passes in Columbia without one
free lecture. Other towns are thank
full for few Of these in months and
then pay high to get them. Scarcity,
as usual, adds to appreciation. Co
lumbia could well apply this scarcity
TO make the people understand how
much value the lecture brings.
The fact that lecturers are to be had
so easily here seems 10 lower them in
the estimation of the majority of per-
sons. No matter how well recon-
mended one may be, he is greeted by
a comparatively small and unappre-
ciative crowd. His coming is taken as
a matter of course.
If the average Columbian or Uni
versity student had to remain in other
towns for a while, he might learn to
appreciate the advantages here. No
line of work, no phase of life, is
missed by the lecturer in Columbia
The best to be had are obtained. There
is no person who cannot find his spe-
cial subject discussed at some time
From every lecture some general good
is to be derived.
Suppose Columbia should go through
a whole school year without having a
lecture. Then a howl would go up
hat the University is becoming ineffi-
oient. This complaint would be justly
made. Yet such a plan would be
good lesson for people who grumble
about the things that are needed and
10 not make use of the advantages
hey have. These lecturers are
brought here at someone's expense. Tc
lear them at any price is considered a
privilege in other towns Your own
ducation is at stake; your view of life
S checked in its broadening by dis
egard of the message which the lee
urer brings. s.

AT HOME FOR TWO DAYS

At critical time, when the people
watched the developments of the Eu-
rOpean war, the controversy about
armed steamers, the question of the
submarines and the Mexican situation,
the election for President could COM
pletely change the curiosity of the
whole country.
For an entire week the election took
the most prominent part in American
life For two days everything else was
overshadowed by the election news. No
one thought of wars, and even the
newspapers neglected all other news
than that of election returns.
Wilson and Hughes were in those
days the persons upon whom the eyes
of a hundred million Americans were
turned. In foreign countries the e.ec-
ton news was watched with almost
as much interest.

A REVISED SYMPHONY

Fifty years ago the heroine wooed
success and was wooed by suitors to
the performance of a symphony on
the grand piano. Twenty years ago
the styles in fiction changed, and the
heroine conquered the world to the
tune of typewriter keys. Now it is be-
ing demonstrated that in old. but ever
young, music is being revived. and to
its lively strains gold dollars dance
into the hands of the artist. Enter.
the new heroine-the washwoman.
Miss Georgianna Cuthbert was a
stenographer who made fair wages
She had talent for fine laundry.
Now she makes s6S a week doing
washings for exclusive families in her
home town and has given up all other
work.
The inspired negro PHILOSOPHER
should have added to his aphorism.
The world do move" one clause, but
II moves in circles" Fifty years ago
Washing was unromantic and unre-
munerative; the heroine must be ac-
complished. Twenty years ago the
piano lost in popularity to the bicycle
and the typewriter. Now. it seems. we
may swing back to the work in which
our grandmothers spent their lives

Of course there is room for improve.
ment in everything, but before contin.
uing that campaign let us discover the
conditions which make things as they
are and then suggest the remedy II
one can be found.
Few will deny that Columbia vaude-
Vile is often rotten" and some OF
the movie productions not much bet
ter. But what towns of Columbia s
population, removed from any large
city and with poor railroad connec-
tions has any better vaudeville and
motion pictures? Poor transporta-
/ ton facilities have caused the best
vaudeville performers to refuse to
show in Columbia. In order to pay
out on a high priced act the theater
manager must find a theater in near
by town which will split with him on
the other half of the week. A high
class vaudeville act playing here for
three nights would be stranded for the
rest of the week, as Moberly and JEFF
ferson City exhibit no better vaude-
vile than does Columbia.
AS to the childrens pictures sug-
gested for Saturday afternoon, it is
almost impossible to get these reels
for single performance at reason
abe cost, and such pictures of any
merit are rare An occasional exhi-
bition of these pictures would be pos
sible as a service to children at Sat
urday matinees and an advertisement
for the theater, but an entire change
of program for adults would be neces-
sary for the evening performance
Motion picture productions are ex-
hibited in runs" of two days in Co. |
lumbia according to contract with the |
producers. A break in this schedule !
means loss to the exhibitor Being
isolated from any large city, Columbia
movie managers must stick" closely
TO the schedule of pictures, since spe-
cial films are difficult to get on short
notice.
Compared with the movies of a year
Or two past, the quality of productions
shown in at least two of Columbia s
movie houses is not to be grumbled at.
An occasional film of the "barnstorm-
ng" days must be tolerated.
If someone can suggest a way to re-
move the obstacles in the path of bet
er movies for Columbia, who will CO.
operate with rather than antagonize
movie managers, perhaps a reform
nay be realized in local theatrical
trees. MOVIE FAN

PASSING OF THE SALOON

Halt a century ago antisaloOn liter
ature was generally condemned as un-
readable matter, anarchistic and anti
social. Thanks to the mothers and
wives in that generation and this, the
world is a different world today.
Business men learned the value of
the temperate man for moneys sake,
but with little result at first. Though
reckless in the persecution of home
life. the nations now at war have in
se,f-defense forced their soldiers to be
temperate for eficiency's sake.
But the highest, truest reason for
temperance is now pushing liquor
from America, for the homeland's
sake. We men-and women, too-were
put into this world to strive for hap
piness and usefulness, not to palaveT
over the dollar.
The home and the preservation of
happiness and usefulness there, is the
heart life of the nation; the inspira
ton for better labor and higher goals,
the only acceptable reason for the ex-
istence of business and government.
in An,Qrica
have made us see that. Even Mis-
souri,, backward and awkward, is slow
ly working toward that most effective,
most easily maintained method of
home defense-prohibitio
Prohibition started in Maine in 1851 |
by legal enactment. Repealed in 1856, |
the law was re-enacted in 1858 and |
made part of the constitution in 1884.
All of New England had early proyi-
sions for temperance, varying in ef
fectiveness. States, counties and towns
have followed fast since the organiza-
tion of the w. c. T. U. on Christmas
eve, 1873.
Kansas, in 1880. was the first state
to add prohibition amendment to its
constitution. A week ago nineteen
states were dry: Maine, Oklahoma,
Kansas, North Dakota, North Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ala
bama, West Virginia, Virginia, Wash
ington. Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, To-
wa, Arkansas, Idaho and South Caro-
lima.
At the last election South Dakota, {
Montana, Nebraska. Michigan and Z
Alaska adopted prohibition. In Chi :.
cago and st. Louis, the middle western ;
states have saloon strongholds, but /
even these two cities are losing in sa- 7
loon strength by the changes in the
states outside the cities. The saloon
is going. going faster every year. =
