The Open Column
Radicals and Thinking,

Editor the Missour1an: Do stud
ents want radicals for professors
viii lectures by such radicals as Max
Eastman. Elizabeth Gurley, Flynn. Bill
Haywood, or Eugene V. Debs stir u1
brains for serious thinking?
A college publication, the Harvard
Crimson, thinks that if Harvard Uni
versity had few radicals to shock
the inadvertent students the elite of
traditional New England would be
greatly benefited.
II is undoubtedly true that a thor
cugh discussion, pro and con, on sub
jects affecting the welfare of the peo-
pie would make students think. and
think seriously of what is happening
about them. This would also stimu-
late students to do personal investiga-
tiOn with the result of original think
ing.
To think and to think without pre-
judice or precOnceiyed notions is the
need of the American universities.

TAXING THE FARMER

Farming methods have changed so
much in comparatively recent years
that taxation now affects the farmer
more often than it formerly did.
1t would have been thought impos-
sible at one time for a tax on the
horsepower of gasoline engines TO
mean much to the farmer, Now the
suggestion that Congress place an
emergency tax of so cents for each
horsepower on all such engines i'm
mediately brings protest.
The National Gas Engine Associa-
ton estimates that such a tax would
mean an expense of more than SIP
100000 a year to the farmers. The
gasoline engine is not a luxury but
necessity. The farmer has his auto
mobile and his electric power: he
pumps his water and grinds feed and
runs all sorts of farm implements
with small gas engines.

Amending the Constitution.

Editor Of the MisSourian: The pre-
paredness problem brings home to us
the same difficulty which the country
often encounters when Congress de-
slres to pass progressive or necessary
legislation. II our lawmakers deem il
best that the Government should have
power over the state soldiers in order
10 insure efficient training for de-
fense. they must wait until the Con-
Stitution is amended But to amend
our Constitution is a perplexing prob
lem, which takes years to solve.
When the United States were estab-
lished, about l2S years ago, the Con-
stitution Of out fOrefathers served its
purpose. We were thirteen jealous
nations bound by common hatred of
England. Our ideal was govern
ment of laws and rot of men" The
people soon found that ten amend
ments were necessary. A short time
later two more We're added. After
the Civil War, we became "a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people" We then added three
r.cre amendments with difficulty.
Now our ideal is democracy and
social justice" After a bitter strug-
gle We did get two amendments
last two amendments since 1870. We
needed more to keep up with our pro-
gress, but We were hindered by old

National helpfulness is a beautiful
ideal 1t is pleasant to think OF an
altruistic, fatherly nation rightlng the
worlds wrongs and chastising its bad
children, intervening in Mexico, hold

PROFESSOR SHEPARD'S TALK

Professor Shepard was right when
he said in his recent address that un-
thinking servitude to the traditions
of the fathers" is out of spirit with
the independence of Judgment and the
sturdy self-reliance they themselves
showed. The present generation
should consider problems unhampered
by bonds Of the past and moved only
by contemporary conditions.
Still. regardless of tradition. consid
ering matters as they stand. would the
United States do well TO adopt the
broad internationalism Professor
Shepard advocates? Or should it stick

4 FUTURE FOR SEXTON ROAD

The paving of Sexton road will, of
course, depend finally upon the decis-
ion of the City Council But just now
it is up to the people on Sexton road to
get together and pull themselves out
of the mud Only twenty-four out of
the forty-nine resident property own
ers signed the petition to the coun-
ell to pave the road J. Paul Price, the
city engineer. seems confident, how
ever, that many others will sign. The
council therefore gave him two weeks
to make further investigations.
II should not take that other twenty
five long to realize the advantage of
having a mile of boulevard, a year
around road, free from the whims of
the weather. Many north-side proper
ty owners probably realize already
how the improvement would benefit
even those outside of the immediate
district.
After the successful and satisfactory
paving of F'yfer Hill, the paving of Sex
ton road would be still another feath-
er in the cap of the city. The future
looks bright for Sexton road and Co
lumbia.

Silent the buildings stand To see

The columns all fanta stically
While dancing fays soft breezeS raise
In mellow praise sublime

That forgetS the flight Of time
For the joy liquescent streaming
From the spirit into time.

In some paradise above
Where music. flowers and mailenS
Are cternally in love.
All. suddenly the moon is gone.

As an old and wise mans brow
The light is fed and love is dead
With the vanishing breath of its vow.
And only the six strange actors.

TRAINING THE ARMY HORSE
Animals That Serve With the British
Forces Go Through System
of Education.

Horses are educated for the Brit
ish army by methods which are rather
lengthy, but in every way efficient.
A horse is first taught to lie down at
a given signal Then he is taught to
trot round a field; then to jump hur-
dies. He is always rewarded for do
ing well.
Gradually he is accustomed to va
rious pieces of harness, until, when
the time comes for him to be mounted
by man, instead OF plunging about
and having to be thrashed into. sub.
mission, he sees at last what the whole
thing is about. and thoroughly enters
into the spirit of it. Then he is
trained to charge at dummy figures,
and he is always coaXed and soothed
if frightened, and soon learns that the
dummies do not harm him; and after
that he is taught to knock them over
A course of noises of gradually in
creaSing violence teaches him to keep
his head, and he is finally put to
charging figures stuffed with fire
works, so that he will not be afraid
OF the noise or flashes if ever called
upon to charge rifiemen Artillery
horses have special courses of their
own, and transport horses, again, are
educated differently.

Useful GIycerin.

Giycerin has many useful properties
according to the New York Sun. Il
will cleanse a cut and cause it tc
heal quickly. In washing clothes
where softness is imperative in wa
ter, the addition of three tablespoon
tuls to an ordinary tub of water will
prove effective When it is necessary
to boil clothes, two tabIespoonfuls
7 in the wash boiler will produce gooC
results.
A little glycerin applied with a fan
ael on shoes that have become hard
sned by wetting softens the leather
which will absorb it overnight. One
tablespoonful of glycerin to eacf
pound of fruit in preserves prevents
the formation of a sugary crystal on
the top. In stewing fruit, fresh O,
eVaporated, two tablespoonfuls OF
glycerin to each pound of fruit, pinch
OF salt and less sugar make a use
full addition.
And, finally, glycerin softens scrub
b1ng water, whitens wood, and is good
for the hands.

RIVER THAMES OFTEN FROZEN
During Periods of Intense Frost in
England Stream Has Been Used
as Highway.

The River Thames has been frozen
over a great many times. The first
frost" of which we have record was
in the year 1868, when the Thames was
frozen over for IA weeks. From No
vember 4, 1888, to February 10, 1434,
the river was frozen over below Lon
don bridge to Gravesend. In 1915 it
was again frozen over, hard enough
for carriages to use the ice. In De
cember, 1864, diversions were held
on the Thames" on the ice, and there
were also fires and diversions" on the
frozen river in the winter of 1607-8.
Perhaps the most famous Of the
Thames fairs-fairs held on the ice OF
the river-was that of the winter OF
1884; in the frost that lasted from
December to February ice II inches
thick covered the Thames, and in the
memorandum of a citizen of London
we find the following entry: THE peo
pie kept trades on the Thames as in
fair until February 1854 About forty
coaches daily piled on the Thames as
ON dry land. Bought this book at
shop upon the ice in the middle Of the
Thames" In 1716 a fair was held on
the frozen Thames and oxen were
roasted in the middle of the river; that
frost lasted from November "a, 1715,
to February 9, 1716. In the hard win
ter" of 1740-1 there was nine weeks
frost, during which coaches used the
Thames as a roadway, and festivities
Of all kinds took place upon the ice. In
the winter of 1889, in the frost lasting
from November until January, the
Thames was passable on the ice oppo-
site the customhouse. In 1884 we
find record of booths erected on the
Thames, and in the frost of January
and February, 1898, the river was
blocked. These are all the dates OF
which there is record up to the winter
of 1894-5, when, in February, 1895, the
river was frozen over at Windsor and
other points and navigation was i'm
peded at Sheerness and London.

Pure Air,

To purify the air of offices or sick
rooms, soak few pieces of brown pa
per in solution of saltpeter and allow
them to dry. When desired for use, lay
handful OF flowers Of lavender, which
can be bought at any drug store, on a
tin pan with a few pieces of the paper
and light. The aroma is refreshing
and agreeable and drives away insects.
II not water is procurable few drops
OF OIL OF lavender in a glass of very
not water is good 1t purifes the air

Audience on the STAGE.

1t was Garrick who first struck a
dow at the custom Of allowing mem
bers OF the audience upon the stage, a
practice which, at Lincolns Inn thea
ter in 1921, led to a most dangerous
disturbance, only quelled by calling
out the military. In October, 1747, a
Drury Lane playbill had the following
appended notice: "As the admittance
OF persons behind the scenes has occa-
stoned general complaint on account
CT the frequent interruption to the per
formance, it is hoped that gentlemen
won't be offended that no money will
be taken there for the future"
