1t is hoped that the investigation
proposed by the House Committee on
appropriations of the finances Of the
University and other state institu-
tions will be prompt and thorough.
The records are public proper
ty and the public have a right to
know-and should know-what def
cit exists, why it exists and all the
facts connected Herewith. The facts
when known will demonstrate beyond
question that the University has been
wisely and economically administer
ed and that the state has received full
return for its investment. Every
friend of the University encourages
legitimate inquiry into its methods
and condition and welcomes all in
vestigation that seeks the whole truth
in the service of the public.

comparatively still, except for a low,

excited groups and discuss in ejacula-
tory language Mabel's last dance or
Hubert's new bicycle. Instead they
proceed to place at the end of the
hall made inviting by comfortable
chairs, pictures and magazines, Sc
rious and fiction. For the more dill
gent ones there is a set of encyclo-
pedia. The shelves contain such pe-
riodicals as Survey, Independent, Con-
gressional Record, Scribner's, Har-
per's, Century, American and the daily
papers. On one wall is Prophets;
on another, "Parthenon."

STATE PRESS OPINION
From the Joplin Globe:

From the Joplin Globe:

upon the University of Missouri
through President A. Ross Hill
Frank Farris and Senator Buford
leaders in the fight two years ago
have denied any such intentions.
Farris. who is Democratic floor
leader of the house, is reported to
have said that he will leave the Uni

self or the Rolla School of Mines is
made by university authorities. He
was successful two years ago in OBJ
tanning the passage of law creating
a complete school of engineering at
Rolla and the comforting of engineer
ing degrees similar to the school at
Columbia. This bill was contested
by the board of curators of the Uni

a number of former students of the
University, characterizing fraternities
as "snobbish and undemocratic," and
urging their abolishment. Among the
signers is Walter c. Martin of Lamar.

KING COTTON AGAIN REIGNS

Nineteen fourteen saw the fall o
cotton from the throne as liking" O
all crops; he was unseated and cas-
into the waste, and from his follow
ers of the South came the cry of BUY
a-Bale!"
Long live King Cotton!" is the or!
of today-the monarch of the Soutl
again reigns.
From and 9 cents cotton has riser
to 20 cents, and the question is
Where will it stop" The once i'm
poverished South is now a rejuvenat-
ed territory, and from the picker to
the producer the new prosperity is
being felt.
Wartime has brought demand for
gun-cotton and other cotton products.
The acreage of the last year in cotton
in the South was less than it usually
runs, and in this is the secret of the
new South.
Discouraged by the failure of a
large cotton acreage and their loss,
the planters of the South have turned
to the raising of stock and staple ag-
ricultural products. They have ceased
to gamble their entire allotment upon
cotton.
This year the boll-weevil wreaked
its greatest havoc, but the South was
protected. 1t had turned its atten-
tion not only to cotton but to corn,
cattle and grass. Southerners have
applied the rule of common sense and
avoided speculation.
And as a result the Christmas pres
ent of the South was one and one
quarter billions in revenue. Mill
hands receive higher wages and have
improved conditions; the planters
families enjoy greater prosperity; the
negro picker has heaps of money"
and the entire section is blossoming
in prosperity. /
The South has learned it's lesson. |
Newspapers of the section urge the
growing Of more staple crops and the
limiting of the cotton acreage.
From the prosperity of the year and !
the rejuvenation of the South, the |
planter will, no doubt, follow the call
of "less cotton and a greater price"

MISS BAILEY PLEASES AUDIENCE
Piano Recital ut Christian College Is
Varied in Style-Mrs. Green Assists.
By ]. M.

By ]. M.
In spite of the uninviting weather
fairly large audience attended the
piano recital given last night by Miss
Marcia Won Wilhelmj- Bailey in the
Christian College Auditorium. One
outstanding feature of the program
was the variety of style in the selec-
tions. The program proved to be a
study in contrasts. The dignified and
stately "Bouree" by Buch- Saint -Saens
was followed by the melodic Preludes
of Chopin. which were in turn fol-
lowed by the intellectual Brahms "In-
termezzo," the chief theme of which
consists of three tones presented in
the different registers of the piano.
These various characteristics were
skillfully emphasized in the rendition
of the numbers. This proved Miss
Bailey versatile performer and
true interpreter.
Mrs. Green, who assisted in the
program, sang her selections in an ar
tistic manner. She leaned toward the
lyrical rather than to the dramatic
side of her art. She has a voice of
clear soprano quality.
1t is with pleasure that one hears
the performance of musicians who do
their work in the classroom so unas-
sumingly, and who do more for the
uplift of musical taste and education
than they are credited with.

Here's Something to Do On Sunday!
Editor the Missourian: Let's gel
Columbia out of the Tank Town
class and permit the moving picture
shows to exhibit on Sunday. Colum-
bia is about the only city of any size
in Missouri that prohibits the exhi-
bition of moving pictures on Sunday.
In most live towns the picture shows
have special Sunday programs with
high class clean pictures that con-
tribute a great deal to the community
life of the town.
The New Hotel is about ready to
open. We want the travelling men to
make Columbia their headquarters.
Certainly they will not come here
when surrounding towns offer some
thing to do on Sunday and Columbia
offers nothing but the "Blue" variety.
If we want the new hotel to pay-and
stay open-let's do something.
The picture show people claim it is
not profitable to show high-class films
here all the time. Let's give them a
seven-day week. Perhaps they will
pay then-pay the owners-and the
too, in better films.

zone with loss of 67 lives. There were only l67
on board and it is assumed that virtually all of
them were members of the crew.

Grief at the war department over the bad news
was mitigated by relief at the thought that had
the enemy gotten the ship on her outward voyage
it would have been considerably worse. Details
of the enemy attack and the rescue of survivors
are awaited with mpatience.
