TO GIVE COUNSEL TO M.U. WOMEN
Committee to Aid CO.Eds Appointed
by Association of Alumnae.


A vocational counseling committee
for University women is the latest
progressive movement of the local
members of the Association of Col
legiate Alumnae. To this committee,
according to its chairman, Mrs. A. H.
R. Fairchild, women of the University
will be privileged to come for advice
concerning their future occupations,
what to do, what University work
will best fit them for the future, how
such work may be obtained and what
the working conditions are in that oc-
cupation
While the work is not yet fully Or
ganized, it is the plan of the commit
tee that its members shall be either
women who have had experience in
vocational guidance or those who have
personal knowledge of a number of
occupations. The work is in line
with that of the association in larger
cities, notably New York, Chicago,
Boston and Kansas City.
To give added information to the
choosing of vOcations, HI. o. Sever
ance, University librarian, will have
placed on an open shelf in the library
several books on vocations, particu-
arly for women.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING

Just what would be the procedure if
Columbia cared to adopt commits
sion government?
Under the Missouri statute of
March %, 1913. which covers the sub
ject, the first step would be a petition
presented to the mayor signed by
voters equal in number to at least 25
per cent of all the votes cast for all
candidates for mayor at the last pre-
ceding city election This petition
would ask for a vote on the question.
The mayor, then, by proclamation
would submit the question to the
voters within the next two months. If
more than half the votes cast were in
favor of the proposed change, the
measure would be declared passed.
But il more than half the votes were
against the change, the question could
not be reconsidered for two years.
Under the present census figure of
1862, the voters would elect a mayor
and two councilmen. However, if the
population of Columbia were found to
be more than IL. 900. three council-
men would be elected at the next
regular city election, unless the regu-
lar election was not to be held with
in the next six months. In that case
special election would be called.

apologies for Republican favoritism
of these interests with the hackneyed
but specious plea that it is only
through these vast but private agen-
cies of exploitation that labor can be
employed. This is an economic fall
lacy as absurd as it is to say that to
tax industry and burden it with trib-
ute is the way to make It thrive.
Labor was employed before these
vast and unholy abnormalities came
into existence and it will be en-
ployed when, SO far as their special
privileges for vast, unearned private
gain is concerned, they are no more.
The Journal concludes by saying
that the Republicans are certain to
come into power again, and that
while he basks in Republican pros
perity, Mr.. Doubleday will continue
to abuse the wicked Republicans" I
do not care what the source of any
alleged prosperity, nor what 1t might
do for me individually, If it is not
genuine, If it does not embrace every
body, If it does not rest upon equity
and justice for all. if it does not
offer equal privilege and opportunity
for all, I shall denounce it as best I
know how.
Now, truly indeed, all this is not to
say that Republicans are villains. 1t
is quite possible to love even those
with whom we disagree, though many
good folks have not learned this
sublime, inspiring, and cheering fact.
Quite naturally, that central and con-
trolling tendency of Republicanism.
that pharisaical and aristocratic idea
that comes down in this country's
politics from Hamilton, produces here
and there a sp-ig of the self-satisfied,

type, who if they were not merely

publicans are unconscious of this,
and it may be said of most of them.
including the esteemed editor of the
Journal, that no finer fellows, no
finer men, no finer gentlemen ever
stepped in shoe leather. There is
nothing particularly the matter with
most Republicans but their Republic
anism. As between the two political
parties there is not the difference in
performance that there ought to be,
but the tendencies are Numerically
opposite, one inclining with all the
might that the public attitude will
endure toward Capitalization of
wealth and power, and the other
toward their just distribution; one
toward aristocracy and the other to-
ward the democratic ideals which en-
brace the greatest good for all. Be-
tween the ultra-reactionary type of
Republication and toryism, with its
velvet anarchy of self service upon
the one hand, and the conflicting, ILL
defined and undigested Socialism
which would sacrifice the individual
upon the altar of society, upon the
other, stands that great and safe DEM
ocratic or social democracy which
would render to the individual that
which belongs to the individual and
to society that which belongs to So
ciety. Individual 'obsessions" are of
no moment; party labels are silly, in
consequential things; party machines
are all very much alike; but social
tendencies are of first Importance
and are potentially capable of great
good or great evil. Thinking people
make a understanding to their
thoughts.
