SALARIES AND PROFESSORS

Miss Helen Taft, acting president
of Bryn Mawr College, said in re-
cent address that she wished the COL
lege professors Of the country would
organize and declare a strike. Their
claims, asserted Miss Taft, would be
more just than those of the ministers.
Any action of this sort would not be
against the college executives, direc-
tors or trustees, but against the pub
lie, which should be compelled to pay
for its education.
This is not an idle suggestion on
the part of the president of Bryn
Mawr. The country seems to be awak-
ening to the realization that while the
steel workers, railroad men, garbage
hauleEs and laborers of every descrip-
tion are drawing increased pay, the
educators of the future citizens are
struggling along on practically pre-
war basis,

the perfection of reason. Peradven-
ture, too, if guesses were horses, every
judge would gaily ride :"
Every judge should have two salts
the salt of wisdom lest he be insip-
id; and the salt of conscience lest he
be devilish," says Judge Lamm in
speaking of men in his own profess
sion.
In a case dealing with a corpora
ton known as the "Home-Made Pie
Company" Judge Lamm talks at
length on pie: 1--WE do not under
stand that said corporation made all
the pies eaten in that great and hun
CRY city, but we do understand from
the evidence (and would be inclined
to hold, if necessary that it had a
monopoly in the making and selling
of that sad and indigestible commo-
dtiy known as commercial (as distin-
guished from politicaD pie, commo-
dity abounding in the marts of that
town, it is said and trafficked in for
gain; a pie made of Ben Davis apple
(this is purely hypothesis and, hence,
obiter), split, dried, and subjected to
other forms of mysterious unpalatable
manipulation"
The automobile which finds itself
in the courts so much today is spoken
of thus:
"An automobile is not lethal weap-
on like gun, pistol, dagger or a
billy. Hence no evil intent to kill or
harm is presumed by it's mere use.
1t does not fill the malignant office
of poison in taking life"
Sayings Are Proverbs In Themselves.
Judge Lamm had such a way of
saying things straight to the point
that one may read his opinions and
pick from them sentences which are
no less than proverbs within them
selves. A number of these taken at
random follow:
"a lean compromise is better than
fat lawsuit"
Blessed is he who knowing moth
ing, avoids giving wordy evidence of
that fact"
Technically may become horse,
which once astride, and we'll ridden,
will carry us wide of ultimate right"
There are three kinds of unhappy
men. He that hath knowledge and
teacheth not. He that teacheth, and
!iveth not thereafter. He that knoweth
not and doth not inquire to know"

soul believes in truthfulness; and

tue of soberness; and has peppery

The Evening Missourian., 1919-10-21

Henry Lamm, who was first Asso-
ciate Justice and then Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court Of Missouri
during his term of office 1905-1915, is
a man who, besides having compre-
hension of law in its many aspects,
possesses a wide knowledge of litera-
ture. In the estimation of his ad-
mirers, no man of his literary attain
ments has ever been on the Missouri
Supreme bench.
In the writing Of a number of his
opinions he co-mingled the literary
and legal in interesting ways. His
memory is we'll nigh infallible and
ready to furnish him any number of
literary illustrations and references.
Wit Sparkles in His Opinions.
At times he saw the humorous side
of the case at hand and in writing
his opinion allowed his wit to sparkle
throughout the whole. Again he would
fall into philosophic mood and al
most ramble from the point only to
come back strong and clinch his argu-
ment.
Fred C. Mullinix, an attorney at
law in Jonesboro, Ark, is one of
Judge Lamm's most ardent admirers.
He has gathered together extracts
from number of the 450 opinions
written by Judge Lamm during his
term of office and put them together
in book which he titles "Wit, Wis
dom and Philosophy"
The opinions and excerpts from
opinions make interesting reading
whether looked at from the legal as
pect or the literary. They are not
at all of the dry law" class although
the writer does not depart from any
principle of law to obtain his effect.
In a case in which John Barley
corn figured rather prominently, Judge
Lamm says in his opinion:
"Peradvanture drinking makes
some men surly, ugly, unaccommo'
dating and obstinate; some mellow
merry and yielding; some vivacious
and witty; some stupid and sodden
and since the days of Noah to this
very day all are the worse off in the
long run"
Then, ever ready to substantiate his
remarks by further proof, he give:
references from Proverbs.
Says Justice Is Not Guess Work.
A little of Judge Lamm's philoso
phising is illustrated in this:
Speaking of guessing, there is al
amusing delusion abroad in the lant
to the effect that guessing is a work
ing tool in administering justice.

LABOR IS SCARCE HERE
Other Places Offer Better Wages for
Negro Help.


The labor situation in Columbia is
not as simple as it once was. 1t is
hard to get help here for any kind of
work, according to Columbian house
wives and business men
The reason for the scarcity of help
giving by employers is that other
places will pay higher wages. Rep
resentatives of factories in Detroit and
other northern towns have been here
recently to obtain labor and have Of
fered so much better wages than is
offered here that many negroes have
left.
The same is true of household help.
The packing houses have offered in
creases in wages to women help. This
causes shortage of maids here
The Y. W. c. A. has had about
twenty-five calls for student help in
the homes, according to Miss Maud
Gwin, secretary of the Y. w. C. A., but
this sort of work does not prove very
satisfactorily because of the number
of hours that is required and the low
pay. Twenty or 25 cents an hour is
the most that is paid. The low wage
is the result of plentiful negro help
in former years.
The average wage paid for negro
help in the home varies from S. to Sc
week. This compared with the $12
or S14 that they are offered in pack
ing houses and factories has taken the
labor from Columbia.

COLUMBIA MAN AT CANAL FORT
Captain j. F. LOOmis Commands Coast
Artillery Company,

j. F. Loomis, formerly a student in
the University and son of W. L. Loomis
of this city, has been placed in COM
mand Of the Seventh Company of the
Coast Artillery at Fort Omadore near
the Pacific entrance of the Panama
Canal
In a letter to his father Captain
Loomis tell of the island where his
company is stationed. A great road
way which has been built from the
mainland to the island about two
miles from the shore, directly oppo-
site the entrance of the Canal. Fort
Omadore, built high on the island, its
great guns pointed toward the Pa
cific Ocean, protects the canal from
any enemy which might endeavor to
force the strait. Guns which proba-
bly, are the largest in the world are
now being placed behind the fort.
Captain Loomis attended the first
officers training camp and received a
commission as second lieutenant. He
was sent to Fortress Monroe for three
months. There he was promoted to a
first lieutenant. He arrived in France
on Christmas, 1917, and saw more than
eighteen mouths service abroad. He
came back to this country last July
and was Immediately sent to Fort
Omadore.

THRIFT

During the war the necessity for
thrift was preached from pulpit and
press. 1t was practiced throughout
the country by rich and poor alike.
But with the signing of the armis-
tice the people went back to the old
habits of spending. Not only this,
but with the increase in wages, many
developed an abnormal spending abil-
ity. Then, too, when the war ended
many were tired of doing without lux
uries and pleasures, and wanted to
have a good time, so they threw dis
cretion to the winds and went on a
spending spree.
Today the gospel of thrift is again
being sounded by men of affairs
throughout the country as the best
cure for high prices.
Thrift is a negative virtue in this
country. Frugality is false economy
Such is the current doctrine in this
country
Thrift is economy; good husbandry
Emerson described his own prudence
as of negative sort. 'My prudence
consists in avoiding and going with
out, not in the inventing means and
methods, not in adroit steering, not in
gentle repairing" These are the
qualities of thrift. Thrift does not
consist in going without, but in in
venting means and methods, in adroit
steering, in gentle repairing. Thrift
calls for self-denial. Thrift means
economy in small matters. 1t is the
enemy of waste, the friend of efficien-
cy. Thrift is lesson learned in the
hard school of experience.
The Evening Missourian., 1919-10-21
ON THE WEATHER

The weather is the one universal
topic of conversation that is nearly
always timely. We are always talk
ing about the weather, most of the
time unconsciously. Still, few of us
realize how much may lie back of
gentle rain or windy day. Not many
of us appreciate the effect change of
weather has upon us and our work
A noted American psychologist has
even gone so far as to find a direct
relation between the amount of crime
committed and the prevailing weather.
He found that throughout period OF
dry windy weather, his crime curve
went up alarmingly; throughout per-
iod of gentle rains and pleasant sun
ny days, the jails were practically
empty. During hot summer months
there were more cases of suicide, and
during a long, cold winter, the chief
misdemeanor was petit larceny.
Teachers throughout the United
States kept statistics for the psycholo-
gist, and from these and his own OBJ
servations he was able to draw sew
eral conclusions about what weather
was good for us and what was not. A
gentle rain after a period of warm
days is decidedly beneficial. The teach
ers found that after such a period,
the attention curve of the pupils went
up, the students were quieter, better
behaved, and more willing to apply
themselves. But during the rainy days
intelligence curves were not as high as
on bright warm days succeeding a
period of rainy weather.
Teachers in the southwest found
that their pupils were at their best
during the mild days of winter, and
worst during the windy days of au-
tumn and spring.
All of this goes to show that wealth
er really affects our dispositions, and
in the end, perhaps, has more to with
our destiny than the stars under which
we are born.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Clovis, July IA number of Clo-
Wis people, including representatives
of the Clovis Oil company, left Fri
day for La Lande and fabian to wit
ness the "spudding in" of the first well
to be drilled by the Clovis Oil COM
pany. The site of the we'll is on Sec
ton 2, which is state land and if oil
is found one-eighth royalty will go to
the state of New Mexico. 1t is the in
tention of the company TO work two
shifts, day and night, and to rush the
work to a conclusion as fast as ma
terial can be had and finances will
permit.
A car of coal was unloaded at the
site Thursday and the water supply
system is being installed. Mr.. Lietz,
a Wichita. Kans., driller of twenty
nine years actual experience, will have
entire supervision of the drilling work,
He says that it looks like an oil field
to him and is about as enthusiastic
over the proposition as any resident of
La Lande, near which point the well
is located.
This is the first well to be actually
started in curry Roosevelt or De Baca
counties, although others are making
preparations to begin operations at an
early date
