"With another yonr comes tho promise
of now, nml ppphnps worthier on thus
lasms, In our monthly lltomture.
There la n prosper that tho sereins
nohlo countonnnco of our twn Wash
ington will regard ua from Uio maga
zine pages. Instead of tho dark vlsng
of tho groat wnr-lord, Napoleon. As
for tho lnttor, tho public Is beginning
(o confess some fatlguo In tho con
tinued exhumation of him. They turn
with pronounced pleasure to tho con
Bldoration of tho great wnrrlor nnd
Christian gontlomnn of our own lnnd.
Hnrpor'a Magazine for ISflfi promisos
a aorlos of Washington nrtlclos on
llvoned by ithe hand of Howard Pyle.
Tho young folks' "Hound Tablo" pub
lished by tho samo company will give
spaco to tho serial, "A Young Cavallor,"
recounting incldonts of Washington's j
boyhood. For tho ladles' Homo Jour
nal, Gon. A. W. Grcoley. V. S. A., the
Artie oxploror, has prepared a number
of nrtlclos upon tho porsonnl sldo of
Washington, viewing him n a neigh
bor, husband and friend. Other maga
zines aw catching tho spirit,
Tho discussion as to which of Uioso
two mon is tho moro worthy of re
nowod public Interest, may bo eas'.ly
loft to dobatlng sooiotlos. It Is a qnos-
tlon of norsonnl tasto. whother one pre
fers .to admlro tho ooncontrated will '
and tho matchless war-gonlus of a
grand tyrant, or to rovoro tho rounded
character ot a pnnce-ioving paumi,.
with tho head of a king and tho heart
ot a llttlo child, ljoubtloss ono may do
both without admitting a comparison.
As far as most Amorlcans arc con
cerned, wo will bo permitted to hopo
that tho wave of interest in Washing
ton will submerge and surpass Napo
leon's splurge. For to us suroly Wash
ington will always bo,
"Tho first, tho last, tho host,
Tho Clnclnatus of tho west."
The studonts of tho unlvorsUy of
Missouri have our deopost consldor
tions. What .an interesting prospect
lies before them in achievements upon
tho gridiron! Think how they can
stand around tho side lines and cheer
their team on to victory over Purdue or
Depaw! Indeed, maybo Doano will
meet them! What preparations they
can mako for the event! Enthusiasm
will bo rife. All Columbia will turn
out 'to seo tho mighty tigers struggle
with somo professional Y. M. C. A.
team. It will bo a glorious ovent.
With another appropriation and an
eastern coach, Missouri may beat every
ono of them. Oh the glory of a season
without ono defeat! We listen for the
scream of the eagle when Missouri has
beaten all the high school teams she
has selected to play with her.
Tho plan Teoontly adopted by the
Registrar of issuing a record book to
each student, is a commendable plan.
Heretofore mistakes in tho catalogue
have caused endless trouble. The
student has had no moans of telling
whother Ills credits were entered, un
less he asked about them or else waited
for the appearance of the catalogue.
The new regime will be appreciated.
Everyone without trouble to the Regis
trar, can now determine exactly his
Standing and mistakes can easily bo
rectified. If tho recipients of the
books are as careful to keep them
posted as they are supposed to be, am
ideal system will soon bo in vogue.
It haa teen highly amusing to observe
the persletance on the part of editors ot
college papers in Uhe clamoring for a
new and entirely original college song.
Hardly a month goes by without some
vertKe editorial dwelling upon the ad
visability of manufacturing a standard
college song which will take the place
of tho three or four seinUoHjrliml pro
duotlnawe now havoon hand. It I to
observed that the prayers of ihe odtti
have thus far been ntmnswvivd. Thi
la nothing nlraiijpr about nhln It would
only bt atraiiRv If the roveine was rtu
ease. When you need n eollege mum
you on n't go nHcviil cud built nm like
yaw build i mil fenoe or oohlekon ooo.
U 'takes wnsldernWe labor and n Rrv.i;
deal of ability to wrl'.'on trly mwhoi louts
song taking for Rmnlod thru 'thl Is
tho krtnd of production "the poralnton;
writers of editorials iro tsJamorhig r -and
the ambitions youth who take
day off end trtv to nianntetnve em-,
netlng on the sumreHtlons of Die numer
ous editors will nmbnbly be jrrently sur
prised and very muoh disappointed nt
the mm It a. The fnet hnt otlw ool
leRes 'have these wings nmuta nlntolute
ly nothing so for as wo ore concerned.
The eastern coHojkw have graduated
hundreds of mon and among them haw
have been one or two good muslokms.
Thorn men Imve had o. thorough must
enl edmvitlon end naturally know con
siderable about composition, yet they
nil selmowllge'thnt It is no mean 'task
to mpoM x good college song. How
then en It be expected thru weoan have
a .strikingly original college melody
composed by fellows wbose musl.ml
eduontlon oonslsts dn a few lessons on
the autohnrp or a course of nolf-lnstnns
tlon on nhe mouth-orgnn.
There ws a very amusing Incident In
connection with this college song mania,
Ixist year tho lOngllwh club enme to the
startling conclusion tlintt we needel an
orJprlnnl song ond it hey nntnmlly
thought that It devolved on them to get
It. They considered t of such great Im
lon Hint they used up the greater part
of two or three valuable meetings In dis
cussing It. They finally decided to let
every one write words which they con-1
sldered tunefully and appropriate nnd i
bnl-ntr tSiem lo the next meeting and I
select tho versos which seemed Imbued !
with Rreotost genius. It was never I
known whether ifhe verses wore all so
good nhnt tJi- were unable 'to decide
or not. There wn.s n ngne rumor 'that I
most of tho vorsos wore wondrous bad, I
but 1t was uiiAuMientlcntod. It Is sum-)
clontlo say thnt the long-talked of song I
never .aw tho llprht nnd tho world was '
robbed of another wontby creation. This
lnf,""ce Is of course not expected or In-
tended to dlscournpe nnyono, It moroly
son-es n,s an example. And, mnrk you,
tho Kngllsh olub only attempted to

they oxpeotod to grip from an old Gor
man university song.
"What is uho moaning of tho expres
sion 'cheap skato'?" asked nn inquisi
tive second prop.
"A cheap skate." tnnsworod Hay Toole,
dreamily, n ho thought over his last
week's adventures, "Is whore you bor
row another fellow's skates, sneak Into
Lincoln ipark, steal somebody's lunch

Curly Andrews went home to get a

R. Palmer Teele wore his little Jer
