BUENos AIRES, June 7.-Broadway has
moved to Buenos Aires.
No longer must the local lover Of mu-
sical comedy depend upon George M.
Cohan, Flo Ziegfield and the rest Of
the roof garden vanguard, as transmitted
by phonograph disks at the decline Of
the northern season.
Argentina has just produced her first
revue, replete with twelve scenes, beau
tifully gowned choruses, dancers, sing.
ers and 25-piece orchestra-and all
home products.
Such an enterprise is no commonplace
affair, for the producer is put to more
hardships than a New Yorker in secur-
ing a cast and the mankin's when he is
at least two weeks distant from the mu-
sical cenfers.
Instead of importing a company, the
management of the new Cervantes thea
ire conceived the idea Of putting one
together from local material, painting
the scenery TO represent familiar places
in Buenos Aires and patronizing local
song writer's.
A pretty girl with a gigantic pen and
a man with its mate, the pencil, set out
to write the revue, achieving in the first
act tavern scene in MOntmartre with
an apache pantsmime sufficiently risque
to add piquancy, but not enough so as
to offend. Then there is local caba-
ret in the second act, equipped with
shimmy artist clad in luminous pearl
costume-the bead dress shimmying
while the stage and the dancer herself
are concealed in darkness.
Next comes a sports chorus with the
Argentine version of bathing beauties,
perhaps little heavier than Mack Sen.
nett's, but delivering the goods. Then
an aviation group in glistening oilskins,
with whole miniature dirigibles fastened
TO their helmets.
My lady. the pining sweetheart, came
out in a bright red dress with her hair
down her back, sub-deb fashion, although
she looked she might have been wailing
over lost loves for good many seasons
past. She had balky horse, for in the
country one must have horse-that is
atmosphere. Then there were chairs set
about in a stiff circle-more Argentine
styles-and all the chairs had seats wo-
ven of reeds-more local color, for cane
seated chairs are made here in the Tigre
delta and used in the poorer houses
throughout the country.
Two rustic cavaliers entered sometime
during the shower-the sad ones tears

INDEPENDENCE.

The Monroe County Appeal, Paris Mo
printed the following editorial last week
The Globe Democrat is an indie
pendent newspaper, printing the
news impariiaIly, supporting what it
believes to be right and opposing
what it believes to be wrong, with
out regard TO party politics.
The above announcement is being
carried at the Top Of the Clobe-Dem-
ocrat's first editorial column every
day. Ii is a matter in which Mis-
sourians generally Will have a vital
interest because it means that the
greatest morning paper in the Mis-
sissippi Valley has very definitely
severed the partnership it used to
maintain with partisan politics and
that hereafter its energies will be
confined to legitimate newspaper ac-
tivities, which consist of fair and
impartial presentation Of the news
and a fair and impartial editorial
effort to make its field better place
in which TO live. The time is not far
distant when every purposeful news
paper in this country, whether large
or small, will do as the Clobe-Dem-
ocrat has done. Experience has
demonstrated that a partisani press
cannot be a fair press. Democratic
papers seldom deal fairly with their
Republican readers, either editorially
or in giving the news. Republican
papers are just as unfair towards
their Democratic constituency. And
just in proportion as they suppress
or color or distort the news in their
effort for partisan advantage they
fall TO that extent below the real
functions of newspaper. A better
class of public officials, more eff
cheney in public service, a better
deal for the people in matters of
legislation and an abatement of
abuses which flourished under party
machines that are sheltered behind
partisan papers will be the public's
heritage when the press as an insti.
tuition adopts such a declaration of
independence as the Clobe.Demo.
crat has proclaimed to the world.

Restaurateur Travelled Overland
From California to Columbia

Instead Of a cubby hole, regular kit.
chen has been built on the back. But
the real magic has been exercised on
the lot itself. Around the lattice fence
honeysuckle and moon vines are being
trained. Small rustic booths, covered
with vines and honeysuckle and made
gay with swinging baskets. have been
built in the tiny open tea garden at
the side. Around the fence and house
flowers Of every shade and hue have
been planted. and the tiny bungalow
has been made sweet with swinging bas-
kets.

ask that these bundles be delivered. Au-
tomobiles will gather them and prepare
them for shipment TO St. Louis and from
there they will be sent directly to the
Near East. Clothing may also be left in
the basement of the First Christian
Church. Money contributions will also be
accepted and applied TO the deficit still
existing in the Boone County quota.
The members of the Near East Relief
Committee expects the citizens of this
city to respond freely to the call for
help. Get the bundles ready, and make
the day success.

Christian College Started Here
in 1851 in Small House

The incomple.ed home Of DR.. ]. II.
Bennett and twenty acres Of land
were bought. As a result Of the various
additions and enlargemenis made, it was
by 1884 the best equipped college in Mis-
souri, for women. Only the main part
of the original building remains, which
is the conservatory of music. Ii stands
directly back of St. Clair Hall, with
which it is connected by q covered pas
sageway.
St. Clair Hall, the main dormitory and
administration building, was erected in
February. 1900. Only recently was it
named st. Clair Hall in honor Of Mrs.
Luella ST. Clair-Moss, president of the
college for nineteen years.
Within the last twenty years six build
ings have been erected to meet the
growing needs of the institution, at a
cost of half-million dollars. Missouri
Hall, the newest addition to the cam
pus, was completed last fall. 1t accom-
modates ITO students.
Christian College is the only college
in Missouri that may boast Of an Andrew
Carnegie endowment. Mr.. Carnegie Of
fered to give the college money for
new Academic Hall if his offer would
be equalled. 1t was matched. He and
Mr.. r. H. Henderson of St. Louis gave
the building, ]. S. Dorsey Memorial Hall,
and an endowment Of $25,OOO to the
college.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS:
CONVENTIONS.

Arbitrary or inAexible custom is
one definition Of Convention, given in
Webster's New International Dictionary
II Mr.. Webster were writing his book to-
day he would probably have to add a
footnote explaining that most customs
modified by those two adjectives have
practically been scrapped.
The American people have ccased to
regulate their actions by those Of their
ancestors. Rather, common sense is used
in all situations. There are, OF course,
pc,ple in the world who are afraid to act
according to their own will, because The
neighbors might call them unconveniion-
a.. But the number is decreasing and the
fear of conventions is diminishing.
However, all conventions are not to be
despised. Nor is Convention" to be
confused with etiquette" There are
some conventions that it would be fool
ish to abandon. They really deserve
place in our social code. Ii is the fool
ism. useless ones that should be done
away with.
The people who live according to the
basic conventions and who substitute
their own standards for petty customs are
the ones who get the most out Of life.

Every ten years Christian College sets
aside one week in which all graduates
may come back to the scene of their col

the work there now. Homecoming week
should have been last year, but on ac-
count of the incompleieness of Missouri
Hall the celebration was postponed un-

First steps toward this first Protestant
college for women in Missouri were ta-
ken by DR.. Samuel Hatch and Prof.

in September, 1851, with John Augustus
Williams as president.
At first. a small house in town was
used. but the rapid growth made it ne
cessary for the college to seek larger
quarters.

EDUCATION FOR ALL.

Statisticians have estimated that ones
chance for success in the world with only
an elementary education is ! in 4l,250,
while with a college education the pro-
portion is / in l72. Whether or not these
figures mean a great deal it is evident
that education must play some part in
helping a person to better his station in
life.
A college education provides those
who have its benefits with running start
in life. We are not all created with the
same mental brilliancy. There are some
who succeed without education because
iEey we're born with more talents than
others but a college education helps to
put any man on a better footing than
the one who has no education.
In old times education was meant Tor

An Address to

DR. Arthur Lee Odell, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Phoenix,
delivered an address at the gradual

last night which held his audience
spellbound with interest and appre-
citation.
"The Great Unexpiored" was DIR.
Odells subject, and he handled it
with a mastery and understanding
which few present day speakers
possess.
''The Unknown Dr. Odell declared,
''is the magnet which draws men into
greatness" The unknown America

of this earth out of the great un-

are lack of appreciation. ignorance
and timidity.
Seven pupils of the Murphy school
received their diplomas at the closing
exercises last night. In addition to
the principal speaker there were
other short talks and Introductory
remarks. and fine program of
music
