diculous must be done by the power

can be done is we'll illustrated in the
operations of the federal trade COM
mission. This commission is helping
us to establish Just relations between
business and government It is aid
ing the development of thousands of
smaller enterurises by giving them
practical information of the highest
value.
ut seems to me It is pertinent to
inquire OF MIR. Hughes whether. hav-
ing the opportunity to do so. he
would discontinue this federal trade
commission?

I. DAKOTA REPUBLICAN,
SENATOR FOR WILSON

New York. Oct. 26.--Another
stalwart republican Of the old school
Henry Clay Hansborough. for IS
years a United States senator from
North Dakota-has declared his sup
port of President Wilson. In an open
letter to Republican Candidates
Hughes, In which he subscribes him
self "A Wilson Republican" Mr..
Hansbrough invites the nominee to
suppose that ne and the president oc-
cupied reverse places.
Suppose. he says. you had been
president of the United States dur
ing period fraught with startling
and unexpected world events, and that
Woodrow Wilson should resign from
the bench and take the stump
against you.
would not such a campaign on his
part impress you with the littleness
in his conception Of the high duties
belonging to your great office?"
Mr. Hansbrough then recounts the
great Achievements Of President will
son-his peace policy. tariff commits
sion. federal reserve act, rural credit
bill and eight-hour measure-as-
suming that Hughes had caused
these to be enacted, and adds:
Had you exercised your best judg
ment in conformity with the best in
terests Of all the people. regardless of
their party affiliations and Mr. Will
son, seeking to supersede you as the
chlcl executive Of the country were
to declare that nothing You had done
was right and everything you had
done was wrong. ask you If the re-
suit would not be very depressing 10
you. a patriotic and fair minded cit
lSen.
This was the feeling that prompt
ed me- after listening to one Of your
first speeches in this campaign. 10
declare MYSELF in favor Of the re-elec-
ton Of Mr.. Wilson.
but for the fact that you are
seeking an office, wouldn't you cast
your vote as I intend to cast mine
for the man who has done his level
best and succeeded in many big things,
rather than for the man who ignores
the bigger things and deals vaguely
with the little things?"

The WestmOunt Bus.

Editor the Missourian: Two years
ago the people living in Westwood
and Westmount had a means of trans
portation, the Westmount bus. Now
there is no means of getting to the
downtown district without calling a
taxicab. The distance from the down.
town district to this residence district
is long enough to warrant the running
of a car at regular intervals. The
Westmount bus was too heavy a car
to operate at a cost low enough to
make a profit.
1t is only matter of time until Co
lumbia will have a street car service.
The growth of the city will make such
a line necessary. But until that time
comes there is enough of demand
for transportation in Westwood,
Westmount and other parts Of the city
distint from the downtown district to
justify the running OF bus line.-P.

What School Spirit Is.

Editor the Missourian: Now that
school spirit in the University is ap-
parently aroused from the apathy of
the last few years, the student body
should make sure that 1t does not
again return to its vanwinkling with
the close of the football season.
The spirit which stands behind the
team during a. series of victories may
be only mob spirit delighting in the
prowess of the side it has picked to
win. The spirit which stands back
of a team, winning or losing, which
demands fair play of the team and
its opponents, asks for the best of
every student in the field and class
room, on bleachers and campus, works
not only for the athletic reputation
but for the financial and scholastic
welfare of the school, and, being all
these things, survives the annual foot
ball season and the many years after
graduation-this is unmistakably
school spirit.-G. B.

THE PREPAREDNESS WOODPILE

Should the United States own its
own munitions plants and not give
out contracts to private persons to
furnish us with the sinews of war
preparedness would lose its big boom
Did you ever stop to think what
President Wilson meant when he in
timated that private parties in the
United States were trying to make
conditions worse in Mexico in order
to plunge the United States into a
war with Mexico? Many persons are
interested in getting us into war, and
the most strongly interested are the
owners of the munitions plants.
Such a condition was true in Eng
land. Many of the powers of the Eng
lish admiralty owned stock in the arm
ament trust. War with Germany
meant thousands of dollars in their
pockets. How would you like to &C
to war to increase the profits of Mr..
Dupont, who by the way would prob
ably not enlist as a private at once:
Get to the bottom of the prepared
ness woodpile, and you'll find the
armament trust.

Uncle SAM AND THE CROUCH

The world has many perpetual
grouches, who have scattered them
selves rather equally. Perhaps there
was some preordained reason for this
for certainly no one community could
tolerate all of them at once.
These grouches always must find
something to grumble about. Their
crouch may be a legitimate one. If
all were satisfied with conditions
there would be no chance for change.
The crouch may be of some advantage
in making the world move on, after
all. Yet with this one redeeming
feature, which may, by chance, show
itself, other less admirable traits are
too unreasonable to be tolerated
Certain persons in Columbia have
been heard to complain of the situ-
alton of mail boxes. Uncle Sans
site for these seems not to agree with
their idea of convenience. Mail boxes
should be placed closer together is
the plea. There is no system to the
present plan-and so on runs the ar
gument. Kansas City has solved the
problem of pleasing everyone by
placing a mail box in every street car.
Columbia, without street cars, would
have to substitute the next best sys-
tenn, which would be box at every
corner of the residence districts as
well as the business districts. Then
someone would insist on having one
at every door. How would Uncle Sam
succeed in pleasing the public?
Columbia has as efficient a mail
service as could be found in any city
it's size. The mail is collected regu-
larly. Boxes are reasonably close to-
gether. Why grumble at the distance?
II it's just for something to grumble
about, a discussion of why mail boxes
are painted green would cause less in
convenience and worry to the mail
carrier, who is doing his best to serve
the public according to the system
Uncle Sam has provided for him.

KIDDIES HAD THEIR OWN PARTY
Elementary School Pupils Planned
and Made Halloween Program.


These cookies were made by those
ladies in there" a first-grade pupil in
formed a visitor, pointing to group
of seventh-grade girls at the Univer-
sity Elementary School Halloween
party Tuesday afternoon. Those Ia
dies" did make the cookies, and the
art class made the black cats, the
witches, and the grinning Jack o
Lanterns, while the pupils in the ma
ture study class, decorated the school
with oak leaves.
The party itself, like the prepara-
tions, was in the hands of the pupils
and every one from the 6-year-olds to
the pupils almost ready for the high
school helped in the entertaining.
The little folks sang about the Jack
o. Lantern, played blind mans buff,
ran peanut races and rejoiced in pop
corn balls, apples and cookies.
The older children's part of the en-
tertainment was worth seeing, too.
Harlan Hibbard gave a short talk on
the origin of Halloween. A group of
girls gave folk dances. The most
spectacular part of the program was
the dance of the goblins.
The program was followed by
games, Virginia reels, and the serving
of Halloween dainties.

THE ANSWER

Problem-Given the expenditure of
100000 and the assurance that the
money accruing from taxes will be
spent for the benefit of the Columbia
district, is it wise to go back to the
old system and lose the money spent
and the assurance of local benefit for
a saving of 10 cents on S100?
Answer-NO.
The Columbia district will not give
up its present advantageous system
for saving of l cent on $40.
