Tho Good Old Days"
At the University.

The StateA University campus has
been so completely surrounded by the
city that present students and faculty
members find 1t hard to believe that
there was time when the ~" was

when we first moved to the prcs
ont campus we did not even have mail
delivery" said Professor NJ. !. Elrod.
one Of the university pioneers, the
other day. There was no telephone
line to the campus then. a rural
road and n path stretching across tho
wide prairie WIRE the only things con-
meeting us with the city. Mail and
express had to be called for in tho
city. and when something was wanted
in Missoula' messenger had to 70
for It. We did have electric lights.
but no other city conveniences.
Now. with the university campus
well inside the city: with street car
lines and fine avenues leading TO tho
oval. We are part Of Missoula and tho
distance from the downtown section
seems nothing. II Is hard TO believe
that once the campus was more re-
mot" than Fort Missoula Is now"

for example. was reduced from 81 to
80 cents by strategy. One day three
Of us wanted to go from the campus

called a cab.
what will the three Of us have
to pay? asked.
"'T Three dollars said the cabby.
Three dollars for one trip
That's the rate.'

Take this man over. and then come

"A few attacks like that by students
and faculty members established the
50-cent rate.
Then there was the express nuis-

THE PRESIDENT At BUFFALO.


The plain talk Of President
Wilson to The American Fedora
ton Of Labor at Buffalo yrster-
day should have stimulating
and helpful effect. We like espe-
e,ally his -traight-out statement
that The power and productivity
Of the couatry shall be kept at
the maximum and that nobody
shall be allowed to stand III the

broad powers of the government
will be exercised to keep industry
