"SOngS and SatirpS."

Edgar Lee Masters. author of
spoon River Anthology" considered
by many to be the most striking and
important contribution to American
letters in recent years, has gathered
several of his newer verses together
under the title, Songs and Satires.'
These qualities of imagination, of ori-
ginality and of humor which were
largely responsible for the success Of
Spoon River Anthology" are again
exhibited in this new collection of
poems. Here Mr.. Masters writes on a
variety of themes and in a variety Of
moods but always with penetrating in
sight into human nature and sympathy
for human frailities. "Songs and Sat
Tres" will serve to make still more Sc
cure the authors position in American
letters.

Objects TO Movie Methods.

Editor the Missourian: Permit me
through your Open Column to protest
against what | consider a fragrant
abuse of the confidence of the theater-
going public by the Paramount Pic
lures Corporation.
In the Saturday Evening Post of May
appeared an advertisement by this
company addressed to Everybody who
is interested in clean, wholesome pho
toplays," whom it urged to sign and
leave at the boX-office of the local thea
ter a coupon which read: 81 am oppos-
ed to sensational and suggestive pic
lures. | want the best. ! should like
to see Paramount Pictures. ...' In
the same advertisement appeared the

mark that stands for Quality and
Cleanliness"

the word, Recommended" in the ad-
vertisement of the picture by the Co
lumbia Theater as guarantee that ii
would not be sensational or sugges-
tive, | attended the exhibition the
other night at the Columbia Theater
of the Paramount picture. "Out of the
Drifts" In this Paramount picture,
indecency and evil suggestion were
paramount. The moral which it pre-
tended to point did not excuse the re-
production before the eyes of the au-
dience with disgusting detail of a
drunken debauch in a society, which,
If it exists anywhere outside the cor

am not going into the question OF
whether it is desirable to have these
scenes exhibited. The advertisement
referred to is an Acknowledgement that
their exhibition is undesirable. The
only question | raise is, are picture
shows in their advertising to be judg-
ed BY the same criteria of truth and
honesty as other reputable enterprises,
or mus they be put in the category
with breweries and saloons and shun-
ned as altogether evil? l.. c. FRY.

"WOOd and StOne.~

Dedicated with devoted admiration
to the greatest poet and novelist of our
age, Thomas Hardy" appears as the
introduction to John Cowper POwys'
novel. Wood and Stone" In this
startling and original romance the au-
thor turns aside from the track Of his
contemporaries and reverts to quar-
ters drawn from races which have
bolder and less conventional views Of
literature than the Anglo Saxon race.
Following the lead of the great Rus
sian Dostoivsky. he proceeds boldly to
lay bare the secret passions, the un-
awakened motives and impulses which
lurk below the placid-seeming surface
of ordinary human nature.

THE FIRST MEXICAN WAR

Mexico has shed American blood
upon American soil. War exists. ana
exists by the act of Mexico herself"
This statement reads like a descrip-
ton of the situation of today with re-
spect to the United States and Mexico.
But the words were spoken more than
seventy years ago, in May. 1916. by
President Polk to Congress.
General Zachary Taylor, who had
had been ordered to advance to the Rio
Grande with 1000 men, was attacked
by Mexicans, who regarded the for
ward movement as an invasion of their
rights. When the report of the con-
flict reached Washington, Congress
accented the issue and war followed.
1t always happened that the Ameri-
can armies in the field were largely
outnumbered. American soldiers,
however. won renown by the splendid
fighting qualities they displayed. and
their chief commanders gained great
military regulations.
The victories of Palo Alto and Buena
Vista are associated with Taylor's
name; those of Cerro Gordo and Chap
ultepec, with that of the commander
in-chief. General Winfield Scott. Gen
eral Scott occupied the City of Mexi-
co: other expeditions seized California
and New Mexico. On February ,, 1918,
a treaty of peace was signed at Guada-
lupe Hidalgo, which was ratified by
both parties. Actual fighting, however,
did not end until July of that year.
The state militia and the volunteers
Mexican conflict, as they promise to do
in the approaching trouble. More than
$4,000 militia and volunteers were en-
gagged in the war, twice the number OF
regular troops. A total of ll2,23O men
fought in this war.
1t was during this war that Colonel
Alexander W. Doniphan led his band
of 900 Missourians into the heart of
Mexico They were hundreds of miles
from any base Of supplies and lived
from the country through which they
passed. Successful in all their fights
with the enemy, the MissOurians re-
turned home with the loss of scarcely
n man.

In the Fairy Library, series Of

Joseph Jacobs, president of the Eng

is "Europas Fairy Tales The popu-

that the publishers have felt warrant
ed in making an entirely new set of
electrotype plates. They are the most
delightful books of fairy tales, taking
form and contents together, ever pre-
sented to children. The charming and
original designs by John b. Batten, a
folklorist himself, are all preserved
in the new edition.

The Open Column
Those NiIitiamen Forgotten.

Editor the Missourian: Many prais-
es have been heard in Columbia during
the last few days of the business men
supporting the men of the machine
gun company gone to the Mexican
border. Not a word has been seen in
praise of the men going without
friends to say good-by or to hold their
jobs open.
Some of our boys who Joined in
peaceful times left with hearty fare
well. Many need no jobs, and others
have their positions held for them.
With all regard for these men, let us
remember the boys who, knowing the
consequences, gave up all they mad TO
enlist. Friday a group of young men
entered Columbia to work for whole
salers. Tuesday when the militia were
called, three resigned their positions,
with neither pay nor position in sight
to enlist. Almost unknown to Colum-
bians and with no fond farewells, they
answered the call.
Another militiaman, in debt for
school expenses. left the position that
would have permitted another year In
college to join his company. It's easy
to hear or make speeches glorifying
our own boys, and our best regards
are none too good for them. But mean
while. may we remember our visitors
who have shown the same patriotism
against odds. those who went silently.

THOSE WHO REMAIN
4 man.
The boys have gone.

The boys have gone.
All over the country young men are
leaving their homes and work to ans
wer the call of the nations best in
terests, as those in charge of affairs
deem it.
1t was an inspiring sight to see the
crowd gathered at the Katy station TO
see Columbia's boys leaving. 1t shCW-
ed that the spirit of the United States
is as it has always been, deep and
strong when the need comes.
Those who have gone to prepare for
war seem to be giving themselves TO
their country more than those who re-
rain. At least the prospect Of being
wounded or killed on the battlefield
looms high above the service rendered
by those who stay at home The mo-
mentary cry of the crowd sweeps the
minds of the people on to the world
old glory of war, and they are apt to
forget that those who remain at home
are rendering just as worthy service
+ their country if they go calmly
about their daily tasks.
All praise and honor to the youth
that is gone; he deserves our admira-
ton and high regard-but remember
the lad who stays at home. and let him
know that his efforts are appreciated
also, and that he is expected to help
his country.

States. those who go and thGs' who

the most direct appeal to every citi-

cation Of notable phases of presiden-
tial politics. together with personal
