THE NEW BOOKS

The best part of Modesto Hannis

Writing Simplified" is the quotation
from Emile Zola, which is the preface
to the volume: 1.-The worst of all evils
for a beginner is to arrive and sue
ceed too soon. He ought to know that
behind every solid reputation there lie
at least twenty years of effort and la
bor." The little volume, however, con-

A Dissenting Opinion.

Editor of the Missourian: | cannot
cOnscientiOusly leave without protest
the group of editorials upon interna-
tional relations published recently in
the MissOurian. Enthusiasm for a
preconceived ideal has led them, feel
to sweep aside whole group of def
mite and weighty facts, with a result
that is far from wholesome.
have lived more than half of my
life in the empires of Japan and of
Germany, and | cannot see how any
doubt can be thrown on the main foun-
datiOn of facts presented by Doctor
Powers recently in his discussion of
these two nations. l am not discus
sing here the sOundness of his theoret-
ical propositions, some of which l be-
lieve his zeal led him to characterize
as facts" but l am referring to the
broader basal facts of national and
dynastic aspiration which he present
ed. A keen and accurate analysis of
the East Asiatic situation can also be
found in Professor Veblen's paper en-
titled THE Opportunity of Japan
Journal of Race Development, Vol. 6,
July, 19l5).
l doubt if many persons appreciate
the religious and mystical ardor of the
Japanese Imperialism, of their Mika-
do-ism. The Pacific Ocean is far too
small an offering to lay at their Mi
kado's feet. Nothing less than the
Solar System is his legitimate inheri-
tance, as lineal descendant of the Sun
Goddess, and heir of her empire. /
may be accused here of poking fun,
but l am not. am simply trying to
speak in the terms of the wonderful
Japanese symbol-myth, myth so full
of political potency, of religious and
significance, and of po-
etical beauty that only the unappreci-
ating could scoff at it. A.G.

Not to Boss Murphy of Tammany
Hall, although before November Z il
was not thought possible to elect a
chief executive without the electoral
vote of the Empire State.
Not to Boss Taggart of Indiana, the
second of the demagogues, supposed
to be the power behind the party in
the second most important state, nor
to Boss Sullivan of Illinois, who failed
to deliver his state and who probably
lost that commonwealth because wOm
en- voters balloted against bossism
rather than against Wilson.
Not to Wall Street, doomed as the
destiny which shapes the business and
financial conditions of the country
since the President began his financial
reform, nor to big business interests,
which consider the Adamson law a
measure which in the end will similar
ly affect all workers of the land.
Not to women, for. although in Kan
sas he won, in Illinois and Oregon he
lost.
Not to the war howlers, whose idea
of national honor is the sacrifice of
human lives.

THE LONG VIGIL

Each newspaper man in the country
who kept the long vigil during the re-
cent election, waiting and working so
that the returns could be given to the
people at the earliest moment, can
take to heart the message sent by Mel
vile E. Stone, general manager of the
Associated Press, over the circuits of
that organization to the "A. P. men,"
1t was that same loyalty and enthus-
iasm which kept the Missourian force
on duty until early Wednesday morn
ing. resulting in issuing for Columbia
and Boone County an extra with un-
usual complete and accurate figures.
The A. P. acknowledgment speaks
for itself:
ITO the A P. men: 1t is just that
acknowledgment be made of the splen-
did work of the Associated Press
working corps in the present emer-
gency. A situation unexampled in any
former Presidential contest has been
presented. 1t is a situation full of
menace to the peace of the country.

The fact that the work of collecting
and compiling the votes has been car
ried on exclusively by our non-parti
san organization, and that the public
has not been dependent upon the ex.
cited claims of the party managers
has been of incalculable value. The
service We are rendering is very try
ing, but worth all it costs.
ITO the men who have kept unbrok-
en- vigil, night and day, since the polls
closed, and who are still patiently, but
with unfiagging energy, keeping ward
in the interest of no party or candi-
date, but of the truth alone, a great
need of praise is due. 1t is fine op-
portunity for public service faithfully

LEGISLATURE MAY.
DISCUSS SCHOOLS

That the question raised by the Col
lege Club some weeks ago when it
filed a letter with the governor and
with the superintendent and commits
sioners of schools may go to a commit
tee of the legislature for discussion
before it is dropped is the intimation
made by Governor Pinkham today.
The matter will probably be taken
up by a special committee of the legis-
lature, said the governor today, when
asked If he intends to make answer
to the recent published statement Of
two Of the ladies of the College Club
regarding a conference they held with
him a few days ago, that is, if the
College Club will press their indicated
plans and the department Of public
instruction desires to go into the mat
ter. The public then will probably get
the exact text of what I did say TO
them"
