it by cooking such interesting things
as these.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Recital at Christian College.

Editor the Missourian: A recital of
unusual excellence was given Friday
night at Christian College by Mrs.
Margaret Roberts Green, soprano,
and Miss Marcia Won Wilhefmj-
Bailey, pianist. Mrs. Green's lyric
quality of voice was heard at it's best
advantage in the Giordani and Capua
numbers of the first group. In the
second group Stars of the Desert" :"
a cycle by Amy Woodforde Finden,
the singer brought out the Oriental
fatalism that has made the composer
famous as an interpreter of Indian
life. The last group, Genevra John
stone-Bishop's ITO an Angel and
THE Winds in the South" was a
happy closing. Mrs. Green's singing
is always pleasure to her audience
and she has the charm of clear enun-
citation that wins the ready apprecia-
ton of her hearers.
Miss Bailey opened her program
with Beethoyen's Andante Favori in
F, in which the composer has shown
his mastery ability to use a simple
theme to build a graceful and elabo-
rate composition. In the Chopin
group the pianist was evidently at
her best. The Valse Brilliante made
an effective opening with its light and
brilliant passages. The usual lyrical
episode was played with fine feeling,
as well as the return to the more Wig
orous theme. The gay whirl of the
ending expresses the life of the Paris
salons where Chopin was in his true
element. The Aeolian Harp Etude
was given with skill, the elaborate
being subdued to the
dainty, plaintive melody. The diff
ficult Butterfly Etude, requiring sensi-
tive fingers and rapid tempo to ex-
press the fitting of butterflies, was
executed. The pianist's
closing group included the Helen
"Cronan," a lyrical compo-
sition with strongly contrasting eli
max. Dohnanyi's "Intermezzo" has
all the fire of a Hungarian compost
ton. The middle epispde is of a
strong and melodious character and
written on broad lines full of dra-
matte climaxes.
Miss Era Bence, as accompanist,
was an integral part of a well bal
anced and wholly pleasing program.

TO ELECT SAyITAR QUEENS

For six days, starting this morning

night, the nine University co-eds in
the race for the five Savitar queen
positions in the 1918 Savitar will be
busy with subscriptions, seeing that
organizations and adv srtisers cast all
votes possible in the campaign. Last
year there were approximately 10000

Last year was the first for the con-
test and it met with such instant
popularity among the students that
hardly was it over before candidates
for this year were discussed. Ar
rangements have been made to post
the daily standings Of the nine candi-
dates outside the library in Academic

COME IN, TAXPAYERS

The United States Government has
sent an expert on the income tax to
Columbia. He can be found, while
here, at the office of the city collector.
His duty is to advise the citizens of
Boone County on how to pay their
income tax and on how to compute
that tax. Very few persons have
made use of his services.
The United States Government has
passed law by which an additional
half-billion dollars will be raised to
carry on the war. The law is COM
plicated and hard to understand, so
this same Government, which is a
government 'for the people" is edu-
eating its taxpayers in order that they
may understand the law. How many
of them are willing to be educated?
This city was selected by this Gov
ernment as one of the schools in
which to give the course in the income
tax. For the education is not through
the printed page, but by word of
mouth. Columbians are given the
opportunity of attending this school,
and yet the number doing so is small.
Why? 1t is not because they already
understand the law; it is not because
there are few whom the law affects;
it is not because they do not know
of their opportunity.

u. s. OWNERSHIP A LA BRYAN

The United States Government is
operating the railroads because we
are in war and something had to be
done. When the war is over the Gov
ernment may continue to run the
railroads because it can do a better
job than private corporations. A ne
cessity in war may be an advantage
in neace.
The federal investment necessary
in purchasing all the railroads in the
United States would be enormous.
Sentiment in some parts of the coun-
try is against federal ownership.
William Jennings Bryan, in an edi-
torial in the Commoner, "The Dual
Plan VS.. Federal Ownership" says
that federal ownership will be the
natural outcome of the Presidents
action in taking over the manage
ment of the railroads and he suggests
his Dual Plan," which seems to have
the advantages of federal ownership
without such a large investment and
without infiicting federal ownership
on states not wanting it.
His plan is for the Government to
own and operate system of trunk
lines running into every state, with
state ownership of local lines. He
contends that the activities of state
should be increased rather than di-
minished and that the ownership of
intrastate lines would strengthen the
position of states without lessening
the advantages of government owner
ship and operation of railroads.
Each state would have access to
the federal trunk line connecting it
with every other state and would be
able to take from that trunk line
merchandise from without the state
and distribute it within its borders
as well as forward its own products
to other states.
Since European independent ma
tions are able to join in traffic ar
rangements in spite of differences in
government and language, Mr.. Bryan
thinks the states should be able to |
act in harmony and would find it to
their mutual advantage to arrange |
for shipments over lines meeting at
state boundaries.
This plan would permit government |
ownership of local lines in states de-
string it, while states not wanting
federal ownership could leave the
state lines in the hands of private
corporation.
Mr.. Bryan also points out that state
ownership of local lines leaves room
for greater initiative and a compar-
ison of ideas which might be helpful
in perfecting railroad operation.
The railroad question must be
solved; it has been solved for war
times and it may be well to make the
present arrangement permanent. But
since Mr.. Bryan's plan seems to carry
all the advantages of federal owner
ship with some of the disadvantages
removed, it is worthy of careful con-

STATE FARM WILL BE
 SUPPLEMENT TO JAILS,
Will Accomplish Reform Work That
 Cannot Be Done in JaiIs.

The state farm for women at East Lyme, which opened for the reception of inmates last week, will have an in creasingly beneficial influence upon conditions in Hartford, according to Miss Anne D. Melvin, probation officer for the juvenile cases in the city police court. At present girls over 21 may not be committed to either of the pri- vate institutions heretofore provided for deiinquents, and many girls falsi-
 fled their ages to avoid commitment to
 the only place to which police court could send scores of women and girls
 who needed constructive reformation
 rather than punishment, Miss Melvin said. County jails are not planned as women's reformatories and they can
 hardly be expected to fill the needs of the hour.
 Delinquent women are committed to the institution, not for a definite sen- tence of 30 or 50 days, as they are sent to jail. but for an intererminate period, or until they show the author ities that they are able morally and | physically to take up their places in i society again and live straight, sober l lives. The purpose of the reformatory meanwhile, is to give these women an6 | girls the environment they ought tc
 have had at all time, while they are collecting themselves for the counter l attack upon the entanglements of or
 Sanized society.

I. H. Newland gave a very helpful talk to which the fel- lows listened with the closest atten- tion. He said in part:
 q want to talk to you today about ideals" Everything depends upon the kind of ideals we have in life Some men have ideals that drag them down, and other men have ideals that lift them up. Our ancestors had ideals that were not as big and broad as ours; at first man cared but for him self alone; then he began to care for others and he took to himself mate and he cared for his family; then he cared for the group, and finally his outlook broadened, and he became vi | tally interested in his country, and pa l triotisn was born, and he became z patriot.
 He at first fought for himself. ant as he became unselfish he fought fol | others as you are now willing to do. i At first man acquired property by force, but now he owns property by proper methods. and he has right t it. Finally, man has taken for hi | ideal, righteousness, and he has comt out of selfishness into unselishness.
 A mans development depends upol his outlook and his ideals, and his de velopment is unlimited if he but hal the right conception of life"
