The Railway Age in an editorial
shows that during the last nineteen
years. while the number OF railway
employees has increased only 81 per
cent. their total annual compensation
has increased 391 per cent. In the
meantime the roads have been hover
ing on the brink of bankruptcy. And
yet the employees are asking not only
for more wages but for the roads
themselves.

HAPPINESS IN MARRIAGE
DECLARED SECONDARY
Prof. Durant of Columbia Makes
Prime Purpose the Production
of Robust Children.

CHICAGO. November 6.-Happiness
of man and woman is only secondary
affair in marriage. the prime purpose
of which is to produce robust chill
dren. Prof. William J. Durant of Co
lumbia University said in a lecture
at the Sinai Social Center here the
other night Where there are no
children there is no marriage" he
added. Free love is impossible. the
professor said. because conquests of
man are praised by other men, but
If woman has had one free love
affair she is held in ridicule and be-
Titled by her associates"
Most men now marry after they
have become incapable of love-" the
professor continued, and then comes
your divorce.
Courts say that divorces are due
to cruelty, drunkenness and half a
dozen other things. but they are all
wrong. The three fundamental rea
sons for divorce are: l, the natural
| vanity of both sexes; 2, psychological
| incompatibility; 3, lack of children"

the nations of the world. according to
DR.. Yamato Ichihashi, professor of
Japanese civilization at the Leland
Stanford University and official ad-
wiser to the Japanese delegation at
the international labor conference,
who addressed the City Club at it's
weekly luncheon yesterday afternoon.
Japan is under financial strain"
he said. land she welcomes any plan
that will enable her to avoid future
war and to continue her peaceful pur-
suits. Whenever I get a chance 1
like to take a shot at that so-much-
talked-of DOGGY of war between the
United States and Japan. That DOGGY
is talked of too much. / am not at
all a stranger to some of the reasons
that prompt these wild dreams.
try and Japan are willing that this
wild talk should be sifted and exam
ined analytically and it's utter base
lessness barred before the world"
In speaking of industrial conditions
in Japan DR.. Ichihashi explained that
ers are thoroughly awakened as to
their rights and are eager to better
their position.

Would Keep Columbia Clean.

Editor the Missourian: A few even
ings ago an article appeared in these
columns giving an account of how Co
lumbia was undergoing a thorough
cleanup preparatory to the arrival of
the students. This is quite significant,
as a communities health is often
measured by the degree in which it
keeps clean, and often contagious dis
eases could be minimized or eliminat-
ed if it were possible to keep the air
free from dust and dirt.

director at Kansas City, said, "Dust

FOR A COLUMBIA BAND

Plans are under way for the organ
ization of a band in Columbia, not one
of those proverbial town bands where
every musician is his own leader, and
the net result is as harmonious as a
barnyard full of braying live stock, but
a band that the town of Columbia can
be proud of, one that can play Schu-
bert and Irving Berlin with equal
grace.
Columbia should have band of the
type found in St. Louis, Chicago and
other cities; perhaps not as large, but
approaching them in quality.
There are more and more functions
here each year that require band mu-
sic for their success. Visitors to Co
lumbia gauge the town by the things
that are in prominence here. When
the band plays attention is invariably
attracted to it. If the music is good
the town benefits; if bad the town suf-
fers.
Let's have municipal band worthy
of Columbia.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Wants Factory Near Campus.

Editor the Missourian: What is Co.
lumbia's greatest need? When Co.
lumbia awakes to take care of its la
boring people and the University its
students, the city will get the popula-
ton and the University more students.
l have seen possibly two hundred Mis-
souri, boys go back home because they
could not work their way through
school in Columbia. We all know that
both black and white laboring people
must beg charity every winter in Co.
lumbia. We all know this is because
there are SO many people and so little
work in Columbia; that labor is no.
where poorer paid than in Columbia.
The white laboring man, the negro
laborer, and the student who would
work his way through school-can get
neither the work nor the pay in Co.
lumbia
The newspaper and the Y.M.C.A. an
nounce that Missouri boys want to
work their way through school this
year. If they cannot work their way
through school in Columbia, they will
go to school town with enough busi-
ness where they can work their way
through school.
A factory Immediately adjacent to
the University campus, turning out
some product in which there is large
margin of profit; in which both men
students and women students can
punch the time-card for the hours of
day or night that they are working

by Columbia business men or operated
by the State of Missouri-who will
say this is not "Columbia's greatest
need?"

BACK TO THE FARM

Again the town dweller has been
Disseminated against, and the farm
er has been told he is the salt of the
earth. The House of Representatives
has refused to take fermented apple
juice away from the rural dweller.
The tired business man who must toll
crate miles and miles of asphalt or
brick pavement daily must now be
satisfied to forget his troubles and
thirst with a bottle of red soda pop or
glass of Bevo. The farmer can sit
under the shade of his fruit tree and
drink hard cider to his hearts content.
1t is unconstitutional for the city
man to let his mind wander farther
than the insipid pinks and greens of
the soft, very soft, drink. All the
farmer has to do is crush few BUSH
els of leftover apples, put the juice
in a barrel and carelessly forget to
put the corncob stopper in the proper
aperture until he has a wild, hair
raising mixture of vinegar and fruit
juice with kick in it that would
make mules hind foot look weak
and foolish.
Back ON the old farm with the chick
ems, Ford and hard cider is where Old
Man Dissipation resides today. The
straphanger of the city hasn't a
chance. 1t was deemed that the ques-
tions of what is to be done with the
crop of dark-brown bubbles and with
the League of Nations were too much
to be settled simultaneously by the
same person. The House of Repre-
sentatives took a straw vote and de-
cided that the League of Nations
should be dealt with by the urban in
habitants while the pastoral dwellers
did away with Prince (he was forced
to abdicate) Alcohol.
Perhaps the move was viciously
planned by land boomers who were
jealous of city fiat owners. At any
rate, it is expected that there will be
a rush to return to the simple life
down on the fran this fall when the
apples turn red and yellow and be-
gin falling into the creaky, old cider
press. The cry Back to the Farm
will be answered
