Let the Library Remain Omen.

Editor the Missourion: Is it pos
sible that the University authorities
wish to discourage studying? For
some few weeks the libraries have
been closed just on such times when
studying is most possible. On Friday
nights there are still a few people
who wish to study: On Saturday aft
ernoon there is no form of amuse-
ment except the picture shows since
the football games have ceased,
therefore, why should the library be
closed? On Sunday afternoon there
are no legal forms of amusement. Ell
ther the authorities wish for the stu
dents to practice the illegal forms of
amusement or they wish for them to
keep idle on that day. 1t is true that
we must conserve coal but it is also
true that to obtain an education we
must study. 1t is also true that we
have other times that we can study
but is it not also true that these times
are the best in the week? Such
weather as we have had lately it
would not be necessary for much heat
Let us have the University open,
heated or heatless.-Student

ever been inside the county or the
city Jail? How many know the requi-
sites of a good jail so that they would
be able to Judge the efficiency Of the
local jails? How many know that
good lighting, good ventilation and
sufficient separation of prisoners are
first steps to prevent repetition of Of
fense? How many know that enforc-
ed idleness and evil companionship
are the direct cause of further crime
Missouri ranks low among the
states as far as county jails are con-
cerned. There are some which are
even worse than the Boone County
Jail.
1t is time that local patriotism as
well as national be awakened and
that we do not permit human life to
be wasted because our Indifference
does not provide scientific care for
prisoners and so prevent economic
and social loss to the community.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND

Political INDEPENDENCE and fnan-
cial independence must go hand in
hand, and until the Irish become
financially independent literal poll
tical independence is impossible
Thus Roland G. Usher, professor OF
history at Washington University, in
a recent lecture in st. Louis, disposed
of Home Rule for Ireland. The STATE
ment is true enough, but 1t resolves
itself into a vicious circle in the light
of the consideration that the Irish be-
lieye financial independence will new
er be achieved until they have OBJ
tanned political independence.
For more than century and half
the Irish have fought for Home Rule.
Small wonder it is that the idea has
become an obsession with them. The
concessions of England in the last
fifteen years have only added fuel to
the flame of their desire, because the
patriots see in them an effort to trick
the country out of its belated inherit
ance.
Mr.. Usher says a deficit of from
ten to fifteen million dollars yearly
stands in the way of Ireland's finan-
cial independence. Surely that is a
small price for England to pay for
the removal of so large thorn from
her side. And there is just the faint
est possibility that Ireland might
make up that deficit II she were able
TO turn energies now employed in
fomenting feeling against old wrongs
into more lucrative channels.

sHIPBUILDING A LOCAL ISSUE

What about Boone County's quota
of men for shipbuilding? From the
Navy Department comes the call for
250, 900 men that the building Of ships
may be carried on twenty-four hours
day instead of eight, as it has been
heretofore
The need for ships is the most
pressing need of the war. Although
according to Secretary Daniels, we
are coming out on top in the fight
with the submarine, ships and ever
more ships are needed to transport
the food, men and ammunition that
must be sent to France to win the
war.

KNOW THYSELF, FINANCIALLY

The law says that every person
corporation, partnership or associa'
tion liable to any tax imposed by this
act (the revenue acD or for the col
lection thereof, shall keep such rec
ords as the commissioner of internal
revenue, with the approval of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, may from time
to time prescribe.
The treasury department has the
power, then, to enforce the keeping
of records by anyone liable to pay a
tax under the revenue act. Those
who are not in that class should keep
records because the practice may ena-
BILE them to get into the class.
The questionnaires made many
Americans admit they did not know
how much they earned last year or
how much they spent on their de-
pendents.
The income tax law is finding men
with incomes liable to tax who can
only estimate their years income.
Men who have charge of large funds
for other people and who must keep
a strict record of such funds, some
times do not keep a record of their
own finances.

some money in his pocket but cannot
tell exact amount without invoicing;
he may think he has money in the

balance Then he may have some
outstanding checks he has forgotten.

money received and money spent will
tell the individual where to cut down

Handling your own salary and liv-
ing within an income is a business
that demands attention; If a man
goes into the business world and fails
to keep an accurate set of books, he
fails and no one is surprised save the
man himself If the individual spends
money here and there and keeps no
record. he is soon without money and
no one is surprised, not even the
spender himself.
If accurate records are considered
necessary for the man with large
income, they should be more neces-
sary for the man with small in

THE OPEN COLUMN
Orchestra Concert at Christian.


Editor of the Missourian: The
Christian College orchestra, Robert ].
White, conductor, achieved fine sue
cess in its initial program at the col
lege auditorium Friday night. Those
who may have attended the concert
expecting to be bored by the efforts
of the average amateur orchestra
were doomed to a pleasant disap-
pointment. The ensemble was in per-
feet accord, instruments were well in
tune, and every player was on the
alert to the cues of the conductor. 1t
was a fine example of the excellent
results that may be attained in or
chestral playing, under careful and
thorough leadership, by well trained
and attentive students of orchestral
instruments.
The young men in the orchestra are
students in the University and their
assistance on the various wind in
struments was indispensable to the
success of the orchestra. But, as is
proper in orchestral combinations, the
string section proved the backbone of
the organization. 1t deserved praise
for its precision. of attack, unity of
bowling, and ensemble. The first vio-
Inns were in true sympathy with the
commands of the leader, and played
with excellent judgment of detail,
whether it was in subordinated ac-
compartment to the piercing tones of
the brasses, or in dainty pizzicati ef-
fects. Given a set of timpani, an oboe,
and a few more reeds the result
would be real symphony orchestra
of no mean ability.
Of the orchestral numbers, the
overture, The Feast of the Lam
terms" by Bennet, and Piernes
March of the Tin Soldiers" were
probably the best rendered as re-
CARDS attack, finish. and attention to
details. The overture was played
with splendid variety of tonal eff
iects. while the mechanical march of
the "tin soldiers" was given with ex-
act rhythm and clarity of phrasing.
Pierne is a French composer of con-
siderable note and this number, while
light and simple in style, shows ac-
quaintanceship with the different
characteristics of orchestral instru
ments, and also healthy imagins =
ton.
Miss Villa Belle Shearer, soprano.
and Miss Esther Ross, pianist, were
the soloists, and they acquitted them
selves in a very creditable manner.
Both are students in the conservatory
of music and not only displayed evil
dence of careful and painstaking
training, but showed themselves pos
sessed of fine musical gifts and pleas
ing personality. Miss Shearer sang
with good expression, beautiful puri-
ty of tone and clear enunciation.
Her high tones are especially pleas
ing. Miss Ross, the pianist, came to

Ordnance Equipment
Ready for Soldiers
Leaving for France

The Army Ordnance Department
has thus far met every demand i'm
posed by the new program for over
seas shipment of American troops,
according to statement by the de-
partment. Despite the great accel-
Grafton in the sending of America an
forces to France, no infantryman
goes aboard ship without a United
States Model 1917 rifle (modified En-
field), bayonet, belt, haversack, pack
carrier, bandoleers, bayonet scabbard
and full mess equipment.
Tonnage is today limiting factor
in the shipment of ordnance mater
ial overseas, especially because of
the present necessity of increasing
the transport of infantry regiments.
Sufficient supplies of artillery
French 75-mm. and 155-mm. and
American heavy railway artillery
are already in France to meet the
present demand. Sufficient machine
guns are also Immediately available
for American forces in France.
