SAFETY FIRST,- SAYS CALENDAR
Railroad Publication Warns Chill.
dren to Keep OF Tracks.

The University Elementary School
has received from the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad System several large dis
play calendars which warn children
to keep off railroad tracks. "The
Dangerous Shortcut" is the title of
the calendar, and it has a colored
picture showing boys and girls cross
ing the rails as a train draws near.
Beneath the picture in large type is
the warning: Every year more than
5000 American boys, and girls and
grown folks who take such risks as
these throw their lives away. Don't
you be one of them"
Every available space throughout
the calendar is filled with a direct ad-
monition. Make safety one of your
resolves" is timely hint for Janu-
ary. "A short cut across the tracks
may save you hundred steps-and
cost you a leg or an arm or your life.
Don't take this chance" October
brings this bit of philosophy to the
school child: You have two arms.
two legs and one life, and you need
them ALL"

"IT CAN'T BE DID"

Standardized dress is a laudable
tendency, but an impossible perma-
nency. AS a protest against Fash
ions enslavement of womankind and
the sacrifices to Mammon that Fash
ion entails, standardized dress is ex-
cellent-as a tendency. Few women
of character will fail to sympathize
with a movement toward simplicity
and economy in clothing. But uni
forms for women, Estheticism for
bids.
Mankind loves variety. The desire
for individuality may not be an in
eradicable instinct. but good-looking,
suitable clothes are at least a great
pleasure to both men and women.
Admitting the excessive dominance
of too rapidly changing styles, the
enormous expenditure OF money on
women's clothes and the tragedy of
too little money to crafty the love of
prettiness, few pleasures can be
bought so cheaply and enjoyed by so
many as a becoming wardrobe. Few
reforms could add a deeper drabness
to the dull gray of life than the stand
ardization of women's clothing to a
point even as great as that establish
ed by men.
If the aim of the Uniforms for
Women" propaganda is to lift and not
to attain, it merits enthusiastic sup
port. But as an actuality-"it can't
be did"

NATION TO BE DRY, SAYS BRYAN
Two Celumbians Report Procedure at
Prohibition Conventions.

L. H. Capehart of the Y. NJ. C. A.
staff reported the events of the ma
tional convention of the Intercolleg-
late Prohibition Association at a
meeting of the Young Peoples Branch
of the W. c. T. U. at the Christian
Church last night. The convention
was held in Lexington, KY, during
the holidays.
Mrs. John Windsor, general secre-
tary of the Y. p. B., who has return
ed from the state Y. P. B. convention
in st. Louis, reported a good meet
ing. with all the local branches rep
resented.
Mrs. Windsor said that W. j. Bryan
was present and announced that the
effort to obtain statutory prohibition
for the United States would probably
carry. Mr.. Bryan will be in Jeffer-

discussion of the establishment Of the
coffee houses as a substitute for sa-
looms and adopted as a slogan the
phrase Coffee as a Substitute for
Liquor as a Stimulant"
People drink in saloons because
they like stimulants and also be-
cause at the bar they can often meet
their friends and chat with them.
the coffee house can offer to the peo-
pie a much better meeting place than
the saloon, with none of its evil.

STATE PRESS OPINION
"Prexyo Hill.

From the Clinton Daily Democrat:
In the school notes of this papel
somes days since appeared a friendly
mention of President Hill. of the State
University, and an expression of dis
approval of certain attacks being
waged upon him.
Members of the University Board
of Curators are denying that any at
tempt is being made to discharge
President Hill; yet there are signs
that this work is going on just the
same. And his friends are not idle
as is shown by the resolutions that
were adopted by the St. Louis Cham
Der of Commerce and the sending of
a strong delegation of business men
to Columbia to give personal back
ing to these resolutions.
This paper yields to none in its in
tense and partisan devotion to De-
mocracy. 1t would hasten the day
when all men and women shall be
Democrats. But if any Democrat de-
mands "Prexy" Hills head upon a
charger because he has refused to
show partisan bias, we balk, If he
has greatly deteriorated as an edu-
Gator; if the great institution he
heads is languishing as result of his
errors and manifest incapacity; if a
rare opportunity exists to replace him
by man of exalted superiority, We
might better understand this move
ment. But as the matter presents
itself to us, we don't care a copper
what are his politics or whether he
was born in this country or in Cana
da. He is well doing his work, is be-
loved by the student body and has the
of the alumnae. The Dem
ocratic party cannot afford to coun-
tenance fight either upon the Uni
versity or upon President Hill who
has stood as its defender and has
fought for its rights.
The Democratic party was not re-
sponsible for the financial plight of
the University. President Hill was
neither responsible for it nor was he |
bound to suppress the fact. AS we re-
member it. the leading Democratic
paper of Columbia went much furth-
er than President Hill in pointing out |
he acute financial difficulties of the
State University.
Missouri is rich in resources of |
higher education. We have five Nor
mails and a School of Mines. All
hese are, in sense, local, maintain
I'd for special training and for the
of contiguous counties.
Ne have but one University. Its SUD-
'ort should not be sectional or parti-
AN. We should rise above bubbles
md wrangles. Holding no brief for
resident Hills defense, we deplore
he attacks made upon him and the
nfriendly attitude maintained in
ONE quarters toward the institution
e heads.

Bridge, golf and poker have given
way to the new game of Moving the

Kansas Goods Against Anti.SmOkers.
The girls at Kansas Wesleyan Uni
versity at Salina. Kan, have expressed
an utter lack of sympathy with an
anti-smoking movement among the
young men. Some of the young men
recently organized an anti-smoking
club and pledged themselves not to
swear or gamble. They requested
the young ladies to refuse to have
dates with all men who had not sign
ed the pledge. The girls answered
that each felt she had ample time
to reform a man after she married
him.
