The students of the University of
Missouri need not be afraid of saying
too much in praise of the band. Other
universities may have better football
teams, better depa it inputs, liner build
ings, but not one in the United States
can boast of Inning as good a band.
Even the ln-st Military sehools in the
world, West Point and Annapolis, were
forced to concede to Missouri the honor
of leading in this particular.
When the cadets went to the .lames
town Exposition they were forced to
compete with the best trained cadets
in the country and were naturally not
quite so finished in their work. Put
when our band made its appearance
"the btuff was all olT." Other bands
gave up in discouragement and their
instruments were locked up in the
rases, not to appear again until the
standard of competition was not so
high.
The band is not fairly good; it is
very good. It is one of the lwst in the
middle west and plays music which
few bands will undertake. Its tbirty
fie pieces make a volume of music
which is inspiring and when speeches
fail to arouse enthusiasm, just turn the
band loose on "Dixie." Xo Freshman
is fully impressed with the reverence
which is due "Old Missouri" until the
majestic strains of the band playing
that refrain bring every man, woman
and child to their feet.
And the band does good. Eleven
sweating, panting, and oftimes bleed
ing Tigers are crouched on the ground
waiting for the passing of the ball to
set in motion that plunging, charging,
fighting mass. Perhaps the struggle
is desperate and defeat or victory de
pends on (the next few downs, and
maybe the men are weak and exhaust
ed by long, hard playing. Pitterness,
or weakness, or possibly despair creeps
into the heart of some poor man on
whom the play depends; and he weak
en. Then is the time when the band
wins games for the thrilling ring of
some stirring air goes straight from
his ears to his heart and inspires his
very soul with new life: the ball is
p.iscd to him and he plunges with
.superhuman strength through a hole in
the line and fighting irresistibly, he
and the band carry the ball over the
line for the winning score.
WANTED-ARMY OFFICERS.
According to a late report from the
War Department, the army is sadly in

est way is to enlist as a private and I

then take an examination and "go up
from the rnnk."
Any man of fair ability and possess
insr a good high school education with
the proper preparation can pass the ex
amination. The second way is by civilian appoint
ment. Each year the Secretary of War
designates men to compete for the
vacancies that may be open after the
enlisted candidates have been provided
for. The examinations given the civil

listed men and are in English, Mathe
matics Jlistory, (Constitution, of the
United States, International Law, Army
and Xavy Regulations and Geography.
If the candidate wishes to enter the
Coast Artillery he must also have a
knowledge of Chemistry, Mechanics and
Electricity.
By a recent order from the War De
partment, any Engineering graduate who
desires the coast artillery is exempted
from the examination in all the sub
jects except, the additional J.ubjects
enumerated above and the Constitution

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS
The First National Bank of Fort
Scott, known throughout Kansas as
"Grant Hornaday's bank," has closed
its doors. The bank has lost in de
posits since the panic of last year.
There was a run on the bank for
two days, which necessitated the clos
ing of the doors. Announcement was
made to depositorsr that 50 per cent
of the dividends would be paid by
January 1, and the balance in three
or four months. Only the stockhold
ers, it is said, will lose anything.
Giant Hornaday was a banker-politician
and is a prominent man
throughout Kansas. He has been
"mentioned" several times as a can
didate for governor, and was a can
didate for Congress several years
ago. He was always known as a
member of the "machine." Horna
day has lived in Kansas since 187C.
He has done much for the town of
Fort Scott, it being full of "Horna
Iays Institutions." The failure of his
bank has caused much surprise in
that section of the country.
When the Queen of Spain recently
announced her intention of prohibit
ing bull-fighting in Spain, she launch
ed herself on a sea of troubles. This
national sport of the Latin countries
is so inherent in the people that it
would be impossible to put an end
to it. Without the great "Corrida de
Toros" life to the average Spaniard
would be uninteresting and a bore.
At every bull-fight at least five
bulls are killed and sometimes as
many horses. The crowds go wild
with enthusiasm when the "mata
dor," with a clever thrust puts an
end to the enraged bull. The cham
pion matador of Spain was killed
in Mexico last year, and the head of
the bull that killed him was placed
in a store window in the business
district. It attracted so great a crowd
that traffic was for a time stopped.
Bull-fighting can no more be pro
hibited in these countries than can
foot-ball in our own country. It was
tried in the City of Mexico and failed,
and now the government is building
the largest bull ring in the world in
that city. It could no more be stopped
in Spain than it could in Mexico.
The Queen is attempting one of the
most unpopular changes that could be
possible.
King Victor Emanuel, of Italy, is
the one sovereign in the "world who
has never had a debt. His expenses,
however are enormous. He hands over
$400,000 a year to his mother, and
keeps up from eight to ten palaces,
and is paying off the debt of an ex
travagant father, and a still more ex
travagant grandfather.
Victor Emanuel holds the theory
that while the country Is poor, her
sovereign should pay off debts. He
abhorred the idea of pawning his jew
els should he get in debt so he there
fore decided to cut down expenses.
He disposed of one hundred head of
horses that were at the Quirinal pal
ace, eating much and doing little,
and kept only those that were needed
for royal use. In addition to this, he
discharged several cooks, and the
queen has to wear the same gowns
and hats as many as three times.
Certainly this kind of a king will
never leave his country bankrupt.
VAUGHN BRYANT.
VICTORIEN SARDOU,
It is an older generation of playgoers
and an older order of theater managers
who will most regret the death of Sar
dou. The vogue of the Sardou play has
for some time been on the wane. A
new public has new dramatic ideals and
standards, and the quarter of a century
since "Daniel Rochat" and "Fedora."
which has brought Ibsen and Shaw on
the boards and Iutj heard the changes
rung on the "problem play." inevitably
relegated Sardou to the background.
But what modern playwright has so
long exercised his charm over audiences
as Sardou t His plays were a sure guar
antee of box-office receipts to managers,
and the fame of more emotional ac
tresses was liouiid up in his roles than
is true of any other recent dramatic
author. What one of his contempora
ries could boast so large an output of
marketable drama?
The Sardou drama is in no sense lit
erature. It is doubtful if a solitary
passage remains in popular memory, a
single epigram. He was a playwright
in whom the acting possibilities of the
play and the demands of stage manage
ment were always uppermost. He was
in a sense the Dumas pere of the French
stage, adapting to dramatic needs the
skill in portraying human action and
human motive on a historical baek
.'lound which distinguishes the great
master of romantic fiction and showing
a parallel gift in the creation of sit
uations of intense interest. Xew Y'ork

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
The palm garden on the north end
of the second floor of Academic Hall
is getting to be as popular as the cam
pus or Balance Rock for the inevitables
of the University. The Horticultural
men did not realize what a nice cozy
corner they were shutting off when
they placed the plants there. In cold
er weather it will be still more popular
and as it is a small place an addition
might be necessary. A few nice pil
lows would be appreciated, as well as
several footstools for the higher win
dows on either side. The tloor might
be carpeted with a few rugs, also, but
this would add more to looks than
comfort. The enthusiasm of the cam
pus club will wane when the bitter
blasts sweep around the corners of the
buildings and freeze the delicate street
trotters. Some provision must be made
for them and this would be about
the cheapest plan possible.
LOOKER-OX.
The Use of Titles.
To the Editor of the University Mlsourian:
Sometime ago the University of Chi
cago decided that its members should
be called plain "Mister." making pos
sible exceptions in the case of Doctors
of Divinity and Doctors of Medicine.
Possibly in time these, too, will be
eliminated. Other universities adopted
or followed up the idea. At any great
graduate university the title Ph. D.
means no more than does a Colonel in
Kentucky. Doctors of Philosophy are
so common there the title carries with
it little honor unless there is achieve
ment behind it. Xo real man needs a
title.
This wholesale use of titles has be
come a sign of the colloquial univer
sity. To dub the instructor, who is
just out of college, doctor or professor
makes a joke of the title as well as
the man. This is an especially com
mon method of grafting among Fresh
men. If the big men have discarded
the handles to their names except for
the catalogue, it is certainly ridiculous
for the little man who is not titled to
allow such empty flattery. Any man
who is afraid to discard his title has
not much faith in his personality or
ability. M. P.
The Honor System.
To the Editor of the University Missourian:
Can it be that the differences are in
nate which enable the honor system to
flourish in the southern colleges and
universities and fail in the north and
west? Back of the honor system is
a high chivalry which demands re
spect between man and man. Any
other system of examination is an in
sult to self respect. Is it that there is
a lack of chivalry in the north and
west? The main objection to the hon
or system is the conflict between the
loyalty to the individual and loyalty
to the institution. But the standard
of the university can be no higher than
the standard of the individual. The
honor system is a process of weeding
the anti-social individual out of the
college community. This system has
been practical in many places, but
Princeton is the only northern college
to adopt it successfully.
The only practical way to introduce
the honor system is to start it in the
grade schools. It will necessarily fail
when it is begun with Freshmen as
they enter college or university ami
when the sentiment does not thor
oughly support it. They can have no
conception of what it means, but if
they have conformed to it in the Gram
mar and High Schools they will be sat
isfied with no other system. Judge
Lindsay says that he finds this method
practical in his dealing with the street
arabs of Denver and these small boys
have the strongest code of personal
loyalty of any clan.
The honor system has never proved
especially successful in women's col
leges or co-educational schools where
there are many women. This is large
ly because women are too often ruled
by their emotions and sentiments to
look at anything in an impersonal way.
"Oh. I would not tell on any one."
is the attitude of most women in re
gard to this system, not realizing their
duty and part in the creation of pub
lic sentiment.
The fraternity system is the greatest
enemy to the honor system. 3Iany a
fraternity has kept swift and just pun
ishment from falling on the bead of
one of its members, thus losing the
mot important thing alwiut the sys
tem its absolute impartiality.

CHARLES -31. IIARGER, head of
the Department of Journalism of
the University of Kansas, writes
from Lawrence, of the University
3lissourian: "It is a very creditable
paper. You are doing newspaper
teaching in the most "satisfactory way.
i have recently visited the Leland
Stanford and Utah universities and
found that the teaching of journalism
appeals strongly to the Pacific coast
educators, although they have as yet
done nothing definite in that line."
T
HE Washington-3Lissoun toot nan
game in Columbia last Saturday
afforded the University 31is.-ourian
reasons for issuing an extra, which
contained a full report of the game
and was on the streets five minutes
after the conclusion of the struggle.
It was .x newspaper stunt that immor
talized the 3Iissourian and demonstra
ted to students of journalism that it
is possible to print the news while it
is news. Ashland Bugle.
The University of 3Iissouri has gone
practically ahead with what Jo-eph
Pulitzer of the Xew York World sev
eral years since made a great sensa
tion in proposing to do and who then
ostensibly set aside several hundreds
of thousands or millions to accomplish.
The matter was greatly discussed at
the time and its timeliness and feasi
bility were universally recognized.
The University of 3Iissouri, however,
without any display of bunting or
blare of trumpets practically took up
the matter, recognized its applicability
and necessity in the university curric
ulum and have established a School of
Journalism that will demonstrate its
great value and want in this progress
ive age.
Journalism is quite as much a pro
fession as the law or theology or the
highest ranks of literature and needs
as thorough and minute a training.
Again, journalism is as well paid as
any of the professions and is expand
ing in influence, power and demand
even more rapidly than any other.
Young men or boys 'teaching jthc
thinking age, contemplating it or
studying the field of human endeavor
for a chosen sphere, and selecting it
cannot make an investment that will
so absolutely secure their future as
to take this course in journalism.
Were our life to be lived over again
we should attend this school. We
should seek this thorough grounding
in this great profession. The course
contemplates the acquirement of a
thorough education, fitting man for
almost any sphere in life, if the prac
tice of journalism is not adhered to.
The expense is trifling. Xo tuition
is charged by the University. Those at
all interested, young men, ambitious
boys, and those above their majority,
desiring a better equipment for their
work, should write the University of
3Iissouri for fuller information. From
the Bessemer (Alabama) Weekly.
William E. Curtis, of the Chicago
Record-Herald, writes: "I have read
with the greatest interest and approv
al the announcement bulletin of the
Department of Journalism of the Uni
versity of 3Iissouri. It seems to me
that you are doing the right thing
in the right way."
W. O. L. Jewett, editor of the Shel
bina Democrat, lawyer and scholar;
writes: "The paper turned out by the
students of the Department of Jour
nalism is certainly creditable and en
terprising." UNIVERSITY

Pike's Peak Forget-Me-Nots.
The job of Pike's Peak flower girl
is no joke. Just now peachy-cheeked
Dorothy Converse is filling the post, and
she expects that she will be able to
wind up the season, although two prede
cessors have already this season Yielded .i
up the assignment, owing to the effects
of living so high up in the world.
Up, away up, 14,000 feet, on the very
top of Pike's Peak, six or eight species
of flowers are rarely found and then
leading a starved existence among the
rocks. But about 2,500 feet lower the
mountain wears a dotted blue-and-green
veil, a gracious thing, deliciously per
fumed, and just like Pike's Peak forget-me-nots,
and no edelweiss is more
attractive, except for accumulated sen
timent. At the last water station lielow the
summit Dorothy boards each ascending
train with a small shallow oval basket,
filled with a solid blue mass.
"Pike's Peak forget-me-nots, 15 cents
a bunch, two for a quarter," she cries.
Instantly all the honeymooners have
visions of themselves sealing all quanti
ties of affection by gathering the blue
bits on the 'peak, and Dorothy's busi
ness isn't so heavy as when, on the
descending trains, the sentimentalists,
having scoured the summit vainly buy
up her stock.
The Pike's Peak forget-me-not looks .
like its common sister, onlv it is deeper

brings a cry of arbutus onlv the odor

one distinguishes an odor as if of nieo- .

with stronger arbutus is weirdly fS
cmating.
Until the perfumer perpetuates it hep
has something to live for. The Pike'
