STATE BOOSTS MISSOURIAN
ANOTHER FIVE THOUSAND

The University Missourian is in
stalling $4,000 linotype in its office
in the school of journalism building
on the campus. The machine has
Just lately been received here and is
what is called a No. 2, one of the lat
est patterns of the Mergenthaler limo
types.
The machine was purchased some
time back, but owing to the fact that
the money which the state legislature
appropriated for this added equip
ment of the Missourian company's
plant was not at that time available,
it was necessary to wait until it was
released by the proper state depart
ment at Jefferson City before the ma
chine could be delivered. This is the
third linotype which the state has
purchased for the Missourian, the
total cost being about $4,000. The
cost of the last machine, $4,000, is
considerably more than the yearly
profits of an average daily newspa-
per in towns the size of Columbia.
The Missourian company, with a
capital of $4,000 and which is COM
posed of persons who are in no way
connected with the University of Mis-
souri,, with the exception of one,
prints the Missourian for the school
of Journalism, using the Neff build
ing and all the equipment in it, the
latter all purchased by the state, free
of cost, together with free light, heat
power, janitor service and other nee
essaries to the conduct of daily
newspaper. The Missourian corpora
tion stockholders get the "gravy'' af-
ter these necessary expenses are do
mated by the state.
The taxpayers, of course, are foot
ing the bills.-Columbia Daily Trib-

HARVEY CONTINUES
TO SHRINK

Ambassador George Harvey seems
to grow smaller and smaller as time
goes on. Senator John Sharp Will
liams (Dem. Miss.), referred to his
relative Importance in national affairs
in a recent speech on the Four Power
Treaty. Senator Williams had mem
toned some great names in English
history, when Senator Ashurst (Dem.,
Ariz.), facetiously remarked: "I hope
the Senator will not forget George
Harvey"
Il Decline" said Senator Williams,
"to be diverted from the great, sub
lime heights to which my oratory has
just moment ago risen to the con-
temptation of George Harvey. Not
withstanding the prevailing influence
which the Senator from Arizona is en-
titled to have with me. decline to
have my sublimity of thought brought

fool with George Harvey while am
in earnest about great national
