ABOUT JAZZ MUSIC

If your neighbOr has a phonograp pt
which plays a piece of music, So
called. that sounds like a brass band
gone crazy, don't put him in the class
with the brass band. He is only one
of the many disciples of the newest
brand of orchestra noise, "jazz music" 4"
The craze has struck Columbia. 1t
"jazzed" in week or two ago. 1t is
the latest from the East, that region
east of the Mississippi. In the East.
jazz music is blamed on San Francis
co. which in turn passes the buck to
New Orleans.
At any rate, the jazz band has rout-
ed the ukelele and bids fair to stav
with us for the summer, at least.
There is no definition of "jazz." 1t
isn't in the dictionary The word is
as "low-brow" dramatically as the
music is harmonically. But a Jazz or
chestra leader says that it takes a
trombone, cornet, piano, clarinet and
furious drummer to produce the
sounds you hear when listening to a
jazz orchestra record Each musician
plays any melody he chooses in every
key that he can. The drummer has
only one key at his disposal, but he
makes up for that handicap by indis
criminately hitting gongs. cymbals
and tambourines. shaking rattles,
blowing whistles and at the same time
keeping up an incessant attack on his
1rums. The combined efforts sound
ike busy day in the foundry.
Dancers highly approve of jazz mu-
nc because of the perfect time. Mu-
'icians are said to shudder at the per-
ect discord. But it's here in Colum-
'ia and will have to be tolerated un-
IL something worse is invented.

no WAR AT HOME

Germany will have succeeded in de.
feating itself should there be any
more strikes. No warning country
can afford to treat labor unfairly in
time of war. This is a lesson that
the United States can learn.
Attempts may be made to lengthen
the hours of labor for men and wom-
en-. to employ child labor. all in the
name OF patriotism. This shortsight-
edness has been shown to be a fail
ure in England. Exhausted men and
women and stunted children make a
policy of poor conservation. What
is more-labor will never submit to
such a thing.
The Government can prevent strikes
by so strictly regulating hours, wages
and conditions of labor that the toll
ers will have no grievance. This can
be done by congressional action or
by making such conditions a part of
any contract entered into by the Gov
ernment with any firm selling supplies
to the Government.

MISSOURFS PLACE

AS the plans for national defense
are being perfected, may the leaders
awake to a more fuller realization OF
Missouri. Now being made the butt
of much abuse, this old state, never
theless. is one of the bulwarks OF
the nation, agriculturally and finan-
cially. Its history is great-few sur
pass it. independence has always
characterized its acts. Its strength
has never been questioned, in peace
or in time of war 1t has always
been willing to shoulder its part OF
the burden, and it has never whim
pered.
NIissouri's citizens, always keen to
the sense of duty, have never allowed
their country's call to go unheeded.
They stand ready to do the same to-
day History shows few states have
given more statesmen of real con-
structive purpose than Missouri.
"A people wonderful in deeds are
the citizens of the show you state.
Native born, nine out of ten, they are
the true type of the real American
when given chance" said L. C. Dyer
of Missouri to Congress. Missourians
tions and the founders of states. |
Lewis and Clark, who opened the |
great Northwest, were Missourians. !
Missourians fought for the independ-
ence of Texas and helped add the
Southwest to our domain. They helped
to conquer the Black Hawk Indians
in Illinois and Wisconsin, and under
Boone and others helped to deliver
the western territory from the invas-
ions of Indian hordes. Missouri has
given leaders to all walks in life-Iit-
erary men, legislators, statesmen un-
by any commonwealth. SOL
dlers and explorers. All have fought
to maintain the official motto, true
in precept and practice, which is Let
the welfare of the people be the su-
preme law"
