"It will be necessary for the
Department of Law Enforcement

NEZPERCERS IN WORK
ON THE PECK GRADE
Delegation of 25 Joins Grew From
Central Ridge and Peck In
Improving Road.-Big
Dinner Feature.

AT recent meeting of the Nez-
perez Commercial Club, a proffer
was made to the citizens of lower
Central Ridge and Peck that a
delegation of Nezperce business
men would go to the Peck grade
for days work on any date suit
able to the people of that section.
i Wednesday, June II, was the
day set for the acceptance of this
proffer. and at Tuesdays meet
ing of the local Commercial Club
announcement Of this fact was
made, and some 25 men volunteer
ed to take advantage of the op-
portunity to help put the Peck
grade i'll better condition for
the heavy traffic demands made
upon it. and, incidentally, to also
help dispose of the big dinner
which the good ladies and the
Commercial Club of Peck had
promised the road workers.
True to their agreement, the
Nezpercers loaded up several au-
tomobiles yesterday morning and
drove to the scene of action. Here
they were met by large turnout
of native better road enthusiasts,
and, equipped with all sorts of
road tools. the little army extend
ed its lines down the five miles
of the grade and attacked with
excellent results each rough and
traffic ic-deterring spot the elements
and heavy hauling had made.
By noon the road presented an
altogether different appearance
and so did many of the workers.
The job was not entirely finish
ed. but some of the men of the
hoe. the shovel and the plow
were very nearly so. Therefore,
when the dinner call was passed
up the line from base headquart-
ers in Peck, there was no argu-
ment about the matter, whatever
none stood upon the order of
going, but the entire command,
from general to private, moved in
the direction whence assembled
the alluring aromas of chicken
and gravy, beef and potatoes,
salads and dressings, coffee and
cake, pies, pies, pies. and-well,
you know, if you have ever had
the pleasure Of being in at big
dinner in Peck-and if you have
not, you we missed lot.
When the hungry workers as
sembled about the Community"
building, where the dinner was
served, they found another army
Of the gentler sex ready to serve
them-and, if the proof Of the
pudding is in the eating, there
was convincing evidence here in
superabundance. Indeed, it was
well the bulk Of the road work
had been disposed of, for most OF
the visitors from this neck o. the
woods at least were not only too
full for utterance. but they were
too well fed to do strenuous labor.
However, the major portion OF
them continued to make some eff
fort at the task until late after
noon.
Whether the traveller over this
scenic piece Of highway will real
ize and appreciate the effort ex-
pended on this day to make his
going better. will in no wise tenn
per the feeling dominant with the
Nezperce delegation which took
part in that effort. This feeling
is that the day was most happily
spent and only pleasant memor-
les are conjured by the incidents
it called into being.

THE MULATTO PROBLEM

Since the landing of the first ship
load of negro slaves on American
soil prior to the time when the Col
onies had thrown off the yoke of
Great Britain, the United States has
had a negro problem. But her negro
problem of several years ago has of
late years become a mulatto problem.
Estimates based on the census of 1910
show that of the ten millions of ne
groes in the United States, almost
half are of mixed blood.
1t is the negroes of mixed blood
who are dissatisfied and ambitious
socially. The mulattos, of the North
especially, are the trouble makers of
the race. Immediately after the Civil
War, it was the yellow negro who
became the tool of the carpet baggers
in carrying out their nefarious
schemes.
''In the North" says Edward Byron
Reuter- in his latest book, entitled,
The Mulatto in the United States"
the mulattos of education have tend
ed to be agitators for equal social.
civil and political rights. Their spir-
it is one of complaint and bitterness.
They represent a grievance rather
than a policy of constructive work"
In the South, however the educated

THE OPEN COLUMN
Why the Discrimination

Editor the Missourian: Men who
served in all branches of the United
States army except the Student Army
Training Corps are to receive from
the War Department a bronze button
in recognition of their service Why
except the members of the Student
Army Training Corps?
The college men of the country
were led into the S.A.TC. units by
group of college professors who knew
nothing about the army and a group
of army officers who should have been
anything except army officers. Men
anxious for immediate action were
persuaded to fit themselves for COM
missions by the appeal that by SO do
ing they could do greater service for
the country.
The S.A-T.C. was one of the War
Departments failures-failures which
must come in so huge task as max
ing over a great industrial nation
into a war machine. The officers
were, for the most part, untitled for
their work. 1t was found that the
combination of military and academic
training brought progress in neither
and in general the plan was failure.
But the boys in the S.A.T.C. were
not to blame. They had an hour less
sleep each night than the men at
Camp Funston, they had worse food;
poorer equipment, less able officers,
less sanitary quarters and did as
much work on the drill field as the
men at the big cantonments and did
their class work, too. And had the
war lasted another three months, they
would have gone to France and fought
as valiantly as any other troops.
Most of the men who suffered in
the S.ATC. probably do not want
medals. They would rather forget
their little experiment in military life.
But the War Departments action
seems just little bit unfair. H.

GRADUATE WRITES WAR POEM
Capt. Allen v. ElstOn's Verse Appears
in Kansas CITY Star.

captain Allan V. ElStOn, who was
graduated from the School of En-
gineering here in 1909, has been in
the service since May, 1917. A poem
that he wrote recently appeared in the
Kansas City Star. 1t probably tells
of his own experience with American
troops in being rushed across France
in box cars to reinforce the sorely
pressed French and British forces.
Captain Elston's mother, Mrs. Sarah
Gentry Elston, was the first woman
to be graduated from the University.
She received her degree in 1873.
Captain ElstOn went to France with
the 314th Engineers. Later he was
sent back to act as an instructor at
Camp Humphrey and then to Camp
Shelby, where he was placed in COM
mand of 1000 negro troops. They
were preparing to leave for France
when the armistice was signed.
The poem follows:
HOmmes guarantees.
To the Western front, it was from Brest
Eighty crawling hours;
And all that time without a rest,
They stood a soldiers supreme test
Humiliation: for the law
Is hard that humbles, and you never
saw
Yearlings bound for Omaha,
Closer packed than these brave lads of
ours.
The trench had all of battles halOs:
The billet had Romance
The cattle train had neither one Of thosn
But Yankee soldiers gamely chose
To win this first fight ever faced
They were too proud to be disgraced,-
standing up-they crossed the
breadth of France
Chevaux huit sur hommes guarantees
Eight horses or forty men:
Would this ignoble trial daunt,
Would its suggestive meanness taunt.
Their kingly souls: We watched their
faces,
As. mystifed. they took their places.
For broken spirits more than fire

HE EVENING MISSOURIAN
SOME POSITIVE ADVANTAGES

The three-term system at the Uni
versity in Columbia divides the school
year into the fall term, approximate
ly the four months of September, Oc-
tober, November, December; the win
ter term, January, February, March,
and April; and the spring-summer
term, May, June, July and August. The
spring-summer term is divided into
halves of eight weeks-each half term.
as are the other full terms, being COM
plete in itself. With the exception
of two weeks in August, the Christ
mas, Thanksgiving and intra-term
holidays the University is open to stu
dents the year round.
The advantages are obvious of a
system by which, while students may
enter or leave the University at any
of four times during a year; by which
teachers have for rest, study and re-
search any one of the terms most ef-
fective for the purpose; and, by
which, at the same time the states
chief educational institution is contin-
uOusly in use Some of these advan-
tages, however, it may be well to
point out, lest malice, ignorance or
toryism obscure them.
The system gives the professor more
freedom as to the time of year when
he will rest, or, as is usually the case.
prepare the next years lectures or do
research work.
1t enables teachers who usually
count on doing a half terms extra
teaching to follow that practice and
yet have a vacation of ten weeks.
1t reduces no teachers vacation but
increases the normal vacation period. |
IL enables students from farms to
do normal years work in the Uni
versity and be at home in May when |
they are needed to plant corn.
1t enables self-supporting students |
to get jobs at the time of year when !
the demand for their services is the
greatest, and it gives them practically
month more each year for earning
expenses for the following year
1t especially enables engineering
students to accept positions in their
lines. at the time when the demand is
greatest and before students in other
engineering schools are available.
1t enables students with no special
responsibilities to do two and one
half instead of two terms of work an
nually and still have vacation of tea
weeks.
1t enables public school teachers in
eight months schools to spend an en-
tire term in the University. 4
1t permits, by division of the spring
summer term at June 20, the teachers
in nine and ten months schools, in the
larger towns and cities, to enter soon
after their schools close and remain
in the University from six to eight
weeks, as did the old summer session.
AS for the town of Columbia it hard
ly seems desirable to abolish the Uni
versity for part of the year
