Trees can be planted, artistic flower
beds arranged. shrubs placed with ar
eye to landscape gardening and lawns
kept well trimmed and green. Un-
slightly lattices and buildings may be

Thousands of dollars might be spent

city might be unsightly because of the
barrenness of its residential section.
The improvement of the lawns is
not a costly thing. nor does it require
a large amount of labor. Once he

of making wars; its cooperation is

why cannot the press prove that
it can suppress war itself, that it has
the genius and breadth of vision, coup
led with the love of humanity, to make
peace at time when all belligerents
are weary of strife. and thus demon
strate before the world that the pen
is mightier than the sword? There

QUAKE SHAKES THREE STATES
Shock Was Felt by Many Persons In
Columbia YESTERDAY.

The earthquake reported by tele-
graph in the Missourian yesterday was
felt in Columbia and surrounding
towns. Several persons called the
Missourian office late yesterday aft
ernoon and said they had felt the
shock. Most of them believed that it
was due to an explosion This morn
ing's st. Louis Republic says of the
earthquake:
"The greatest violence of the two
shocks was felt in this city and in ST.
Louis County. The first shock was
felt at 1852 o'clock and other IL sec
onds later.
THE physical effect of the tremor
was felt from five to fifteen seconds,
but the full duration of the disturb
ance was more than seven minutes, ac-
cording to the seismograph at St. Louis
University.
Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois were
shaken by the quake. Distinct shocks
were felt in Kansas City, Mo-, Decatur,

In these revolving days. it is hard
ly likely that even reactionaries who
had GalileO up for heresy could deny
that the world moves. Over in Rus.
sia a revolution makes dizzy progress
over night. and Asquith in England
has declared for woman suffrage after
the war. Traditions go overheard like
sandbags from a balloon as the air
ship of state mounts into the higher
ether. and there falls among them,
along with autocracy and woman's
sphere. the ancient idea of academic
isolation
A few days ago President Wilson,
former head of Princeton University,
recognized from his official position
as leader of a great nation Paul n.
MilukOff, former professor at Moscow
University. now minister of foreign
affairs in the new government he has
helped create.
1t was not SO long ago that Bernard
Shaw phrased popular opinion when
he said. Those who can, do; those
who can't, teach" Such was the view
of those hard-headed men who called
Wilson pedagogue and clamored for
practical business man to run the
affairs of the country, instead of an
academic visionary.
Recent events have revealed that
the men who have been in close touch
shown grasp of world politics and
with education and learning have
statesmanlike vision that the old
narrow utilitarian diplomat never
achieved. The university is no longer
cloistered from the world-it is be-
coming "a vital hotbed of political
thOught"-it is the cradle of intellec-
tual revolutions. The new Russian
minister is startling illustration of
the practical driving force of idealism

Detroit Publisher, Known

A plan for peace to be brought
about through the Press Congress OF
the World is contained in a telegram
received yesterday by Dean Walter
Williams of the School of journalism
of the University from James Scher-
merhorn. publisher o, the Detroit
Times. Mr.. Schermerhorn proposes
that instead of being postponed until
1919 the date of the Congress be set
ahead a year, and the sole purpose
of the meeting be to perfect a last
ing peace. The Detroit publisher is
well known in Columbia as speaker
before Journalism Week audiences.
Last spring he spoke at the Made-In-
America Banquet. the closing event of
the 1916 Journalism Week.

lows:

Diplomacy and the good offices
of neutrals having failed to effect a

press of the world to try it's hand
at devising scheme of preventing
further bloodshed, wastage and suffer-

earth into a covenant of enduring
peace, on this day of triumph over
the tomb by one who came to give
light to them that sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death, to guide
our feet into the way of peace?

postponing the assembling of the
