After DR.. Hill.

1t has become known that prepare
tons are under way in the board of
curators of the Missouri state uni
versity to appear before Governor
elect Gardner and committees of the
Missouri legislature to combat an or
ganized fight on DR.. A. Ross Hill,
president of the university, and a
possible curtailment of appropria-
tons to the university.
Governor-elect Gardeners proposed
repeal of the collateral inheritance
tax law, the entire proceeds of which
go to the state university, and his ad-
vocacy of the enactment of a general
Inheritance tax law, all of which
would go to the state treasury, does
not met with the approval of the uni
versity authorities.
Under such a law the university
would get no money except that ap-
propriated by the legislature, which,
1t is feared, would mean that, if the
university got anything, it would be
| compelled to maintain a lobby at
Jefferson City during the session of
the legislature. Many years ago the
university lobby was one of the most
pernicious at the capital. Largely
with the idea of doing away with this
lobby, former Gov. Lon V. Stephens
urged the collateral inheritance tax
to go to the university.
A legislative fight involving the
university is anticipated by members

A World. Wide Monroe Doctrine

The European nations will probably hesitate
long time before they decide TO accept Mr. Wilson's
world wide Monroe Doctrine. The sample they have
seen cannot command it to them any more than it
has been satisfactory to the people of this country
during the last four years. We have not made good
use of it in dealing with Sano Domingo and we have
made no use at all of it in dealing with Mexico Per-
haps it is a matter of reflection among the more
powerful of the belligerens there would be Monroe
Doctrine by this time if the had not interviewed
1t is rather hateful doctrine best those powers
to whom Mr.. Wilson's remarks especially ad-
dressed-Great Britain France and Germany. 1t has
been actively used against all of them in the past by
strong and determined American governments. 1t
has been neglected their serious disadvantage by
our present government
The Monroe Doctrine it interpreted until
four years ago carried with it dual responsibility
the duty of protecting the nations of this hemis-
phere against foreign aggression and the duty OF
seeing that those protected nations behaved them
selves.
There has been no occasion for discharge of the
former duty within the last four years and the latter
duty in the of Mexico has been most shamefully
evaded Mr. Wilson could not have prescribed more
unpalatable thing for the begerents than world
wide extension of the Monroe Doctrine
Such a mental attitude as must be that of the
nations accept his Interpretation of it-a league
for protection of weak nations would leave its
extension, very existence unnecessary. Nations
suddenly become altruistic would recoil from
reaching upon their weak neighbor. If they were
all altruistic. the Monroe Doctrine would only
add to the of in Europe The altruistic
nations would be called upon to fight those still
worldly minded who would encroach upon the
rights of the weak.
less all nations enlisted in it would have the
effect of broadening making peace itself

.P|CKET|NG ()PHE Id IN COURT;
CITY LOSES ON FIRST APPEAL

Judge Stanford ruled yesterday that
the city ordinance regulating the right
of the city to control its streets is I'M
constitutional, upholding the city court
by his decision. The case will be APP
pealed to the supreme court
Picketing which has long been an
eyesore to the public, will be contin-
uei as right and proper under this
ruling.
the huge banner which in bold black
and red type called attention to a de-
partment store said to be unfair TO
organized labor was displayed in the
court room. 1t had been carried by
Frank NJ Craig charged by the state
with carrying a sign with intent to in
fluence an individual in not patronizin9
shops not recognized by the unions.
In the course OF the arguments Judge
Richard +. Sloan preached the doc
trine of intolerance after a word bat
tie with F. C. Struckmeyer who rep
resented the defense.
The city attorney in arguing the
right of the city to restrict the use OF
the streets for picketing declared that
the labor man believed his rights were
paramount while he considered all men
had equal rights.
Glass distinction" shouted f. G.
Struckmeyer
His argument is obnoxious" he con-
. tinued as he flung his arms dramati-
cally and stamped about the court
room.
This is either a childish display O.
temper or an attempt to appear drama
tic" said Judge Sloan quietly. INC
doubt my argument is obnoxious to Mr.
Struckmeyer. The doctrine of men who
speak for organized labor seems to b,
to seek something sinister and wrong
in logical argument 1t is their stool
in trade. They talk nonsense and insul

resent"

burst on the part of Mr.. Struckmeyer
was for theatrical effect upon the few
union men gathered in the court room
TO hear the case appealed from the city.
Mr.. Struckmeyer contended that the
complaint made no allegation of dis
tnrbance of the peace which the city
has power to restrain. He said that the
only charge made was that a banner
had been displayed in a peaceful man
ner without attempt to intimidate or
to coerce the passerby.
Judge Sloan declared that picketing
was offensive to the people; that public
sentiment was rot in favor of it. He
said that the general public did not
wish to be involuntarily drawn into
the labor trouble. Why should one
proclaim to the world their attitude on
any question? Why take sides? he
questioned. Is it right or fair to set a
person down as unfair to labor if he
; enters a shop or restaurant before
which picketing is being carried on?
rs it proper to put the rights OF
labor above the rights of the public?'
was another question propounded by
judge Sloan.
Judge Sloan argued that the indivi-
dual must surrender his rights for the
! interest of good government and called
! attention to the black list written into
the laws of this state by organized
labor, which limits the freedom OF
! speech. He offered on objection to the
law only letting it serve as a COM
! parison as to restraints that must b,
exercized for the interests of peace
and government.
He asked for the right of the mum
cipality to control its streets that the
| city ordinance to this effect be up
/ held. He denounced picketing on tn,
| ground that it was aggravating t.
| men, aroused passion and led to dis
| turbances. To prevent the results tina
come from picketing he argued tn
city's power to regulate the publi
streets
