things for which they suffer most.
That which costs most is most talked
Of and most priced. Because we have
suffered, because we have worked, be-
cause We have hope that all these
things will bear fruit ought we he
patriotic and love this land and this
flag. Patriotism is as normal con-
stituent Of the spiritual makeup as
is q belief in God and justice. Men
do not turn from God because the
ways Of life are hard, nor do normal
men become unpatriotic because some
conditions are not ideal.
heard = mother say short time
ago that she taught her child to not
love this country. I asked her what
country she did teach him to love. 1t
staggers the imagination to take
away from child that which is COM
mon to all his associates and leave
him nothing instead. When we take
away hope, we must put something
in its stead. IF country is unbear-
able, then we must go somewhere
where conditions are to our liking.
If we seek the ideal place, it is not on
this earth. The reason this is such 4
polyglot land is because men have
left every land in the world to find
here the ideal. Every other country
in the world acords the same condi-
tions to q greater or less extent.
But whether you go to Europe, or
to the south of the equator, you find
men from all other parts of the world
and find them with love still for the
motive land. Negroes in other coun-
tries still love America and the
American flag makes little thrills run
up their backs unless tears come to
the eye.
It is one thing to plant discon-
tent in young minds, with no other re-
suit than bitterness, and quite an
other to teach the hope that we will
some day realize the ideals set forth
in the Declaration of independence.
But ideals do not come through
prayers alone; it is only by dint Of
hard work, mild persistence and the
waging Of moral and political battles
that we move on to better conditions.
Any coward can quit a country or
scene, but it takes courage of the SUP
premest type to wage an insistent
fight for rights which are slowly
granted. It is the highest act of pa
triotism to insist that all people shall
be accorded their inalienable rights
Of life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness. For then we have reawak-
ened the civic Consciousness to the
highest national ideal in the world.
We are equal in the great democracy
before birth, we are equal before that
great democrat death; it is only in
the brief span between the two eter-
mites that there is any difference.

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part Of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed into
the system, making you feel dull and

gestion and assimilation of food. This
condition is quickly relieved by Cham

OF VITAL INTEREST

Voters should be interested in
propositions which vitality concern
them. At the general election on No
vember there will come up before
the voters of Columbia the question OF
whether the Columbia Special Road
District should be abolished.
More than 100000 has been en-
pended since the districts organiza-
ton. 1t is claimed by many that the
abolition of the district would make
this expenditure count for nothing.
Voters should be interest in ques-
ton that involves such large ex-
penditure. They should be informed
on the merits of the controversy.
Are you informed on the question
of the abolition of the Columbia
Special Road District?

Is Missouri Spirit Dyingl

Editor the MissOurian: For many
years we have closed every football
mass meeting at the University by
singing "Old Missouri" A few years
ago the custom was extended to sing
ing "Old Missouri after every game
before leaving the bleachers.
One of the worst evidences Of our
declining school spirit is the indif-
ference many show to our University
hymn. A few at each game still honor
this custom, but there are always long
streams from the bleachers clear
through both gates, men wearing caps
or hats. laughingly Indifferent of those
remaining or of "Oid Missouri"
Missouri was rich In songs and
yells few years ago. In 1912, while
Ames marched down after down, the
rooters stood as one man and yelled
necessarily, Missouri, Missouri, Mis-
souri," until the Tigers had halted
Ames. After the defeat not a man
left until "Old Missouri" had been
sung,
Every student likes to hear of these
things at mass meetings. Then why
not do them? Such spirit seems un-
known this year. Alma Mater" I'm
Son" and even the older yells are
forgotten.
In a group at the Union one Friday
night a man started whistling Alma
Mater" Two freshmen and sopho-
more stood listening a few minutes
and then started ITO Much Mustard"
Is that our school spirit now? Let's
get acquainted with this school of
ours.-A Senior.

Missouri Spirit and Loyalty.

Editor the Missourian: l. wanted to
know if l ever heard Of Illinois spirit.
Yes, sorry to say, have. l heard of
the great sportmanship Illinois stu
dents showed last year when their
basketball team lost two successive
games. They blamed the coach and
the team and Grabbed" about every
thing in general. Does Missouri want
some of that kind of spirit? MOI!
Since l. discussed the "so-called"
progressiveism of Illinois in abolish
ing all forms of hazing and other COL
lege traditions, would like to inform
him of the attitude Of Missouri stu
dents and alumni l have talked with
or heard talking about the disgusting
way the freshmen have been acting
this year. l say disgusting" for that
is the very word two alumni Of II said
when they saw a freshman walking
across the campus between two girls
and smoking big pipe. One Of them
said, Il guess this will be a corre-
spondence school before long, so that
when you graduate you will be glad
of it,"
/ am not knocking. for / love Old
Missouri and always will. l don't be-
lieve in severe hazing like the bag
rush or annual duckings, but I do
believe that if we want to make the
alumni feel as If they still belong to
Old Missouri and not a business col
lege we should enforce the freshman
rules passed by the student body II
it is necessary to expel freshmen
from school for violating them. No
school can live without Alumni, and
there will be no true Alumni IL they
have no traditions that are dear to
the college man to look back upon

The Unlicked Cub.

Editor the Missourian: The wearing
of freshman caps is one Of the prob
lens which the abolition of hazine
has left for solution. Another prob
lem is whether the freshman who can
cheer and won't cheer must be made
to cheer.
When hazing was in vogue, there
was no choice. The freshman wore
his cap or was the object of a vista
tion. The freshman cheered or was
forciby reminded that he should
cheer.
These restrictions were not in op-
position to personal freedom. They
were in recognition of the fact that
the new man in the University must
learn that he is not a law unto him
self, but that he is part of the mass
and must follow it's rules.
Furthermore, no school worthy OF
the name exists without its tradi-
tions. That most important schools
demand some distinctive headgear for
freshmen is proof of the necessity for
the tradition.
Some Missouri freshmen are, in the
exuberance of the feeling of being
college men, discarding their caps.
Some freshmen who still wear their
caps and occupy the freshman sec
tion in the bleachers find whistling
the most active roofing they can do.
School spirit demands the observ-
ance Of school traditions, be they only
these regarding the wearing Of fresh
man caps. School spirit demands that
freshmen be taught that the school
team is something more than eleven
men they have paid to watch.
Their discipline should lie with their
fellow freshmen. Hazing has been
abolished, and few regret 1t, but the
"unlicked cub" remains. His educa-
ton should be undertaken by the
cubs who have learned.-B.

ALL HALLOWS' EVE

All Hallows' Eve is a quaint old
name which holds in it the memories
Of countless superstitions and Gus
toms. Halloween is the wayward and
boisterous grandchild of the old feast,
a descendant whose name has been
altered in pronunciation until its kim
ship is forgotten.
Modern customs have so treated
many of the fancies of our ancestors
Santa Claus, once the well-beloved
patron saint of children, who brought
them only the little gifts dear to child
hood, now serves to advertise depart
ment stores. Christmas itself is a
time for exchanging gifts, not giving
them. Drinking the New Years
healths has grown to the point of un-
dermining the health of the celebrants.
st. Valentines Day is remembered
chiefly in the expression of low senti-
ment, not in the tributes of lovers.
Even at the beginning of the last
century one of the worlds great poets
thus voiced the revolt against the
loss of mysticism and spiritual imagi-
nation
I'D rather be
A pagan sucked in a creed outworn;
So might 1, standing on this pleasant
lea,
Have glimpses that would make me
less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the
sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his
wreathed horn.'
In the effort to demonstrate its in
dependence of ghosts and goblins,
imps and fairies, saints and sanity
Intervention, our hobbdehoy civiliza-
tion has bent itself sturdily back
