ROYAL DEMOCRACY
Since the fall of Wiihelm Hohen
zollem, the only kind of king the
world will tolerate is a democratic
king.
The king of England has had no
royal prerogatives for many years.
He has been little more than a good
old English custom. But despite that,
he was a leader in the British aris
tocracy and had no first-hand ac
quaintance with the poorer elements
of his kingdom. But this has been
changed since the war. King George
is now taking a real interest in how
the other half lives, the prince of
Wales goes slumming in London and
the poor now approach nearer Buck
ingham Palace than ever before.
It is a way the English have of
settling problems by meeting them
halfway. This attitude of English
royalty toward the masses is one part
of an effective method of preventing
the cauldron of unrest from seething
over into soviet, bolshevist and red
demonstrations as it has done in so
many other countries.
It is an undesirable commentary on
Columbia to have travelers discussing
the "numerous mean-looking" dogs
in this town.
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
There is agitation in Missouri to
repeal the Workmen's Compensation
Law. Most of those opposed to the
law are employers and their motive
is selfish. It is true that there are
some flaws in the act. but instead of
repeal, the bad features should be
remedied by the next Legislature.
Forty-six states have similar laws
and this is proof enough that a com
pensation law. is a benefit to em
ployes. The two states without this
law are North Dakota and Arkansas.
Due to the strenuous competition the
pay of workmen is at the minimum
of the wage scale. Under such cir
cumstances employess should be will
ing at least to provide measures for
aiding disabled employes.
Many who signed the petition some
time ago did not know anything about
about the law and signed only be
cause the names of some acquaint
ances were on the list.
How many want Missouri to be
classed on this question with North
Dakota and Arkansas?
WHERE THINKING LEADS
Frank J. Downing, president of
Manhattan Borough, recently came
out against libraries in a speech in
New York before the state legislative
committee. '
"Men go into libraries, read them
selves to death, and then come out
and try to upset the government,"
he said.
It is possibly true that theie would
be less revolution if no freedom of
thought existed. A nation which has
such complete authority over its citi
zens as to regulate their thinking
can easily regulate their actions,
Much inconvenience can be avoided
by the stoppage of thought. That is
the reason so many persons in our
country are not worried over the set
tlement of the Peace Treaty or the
League of Nations. Thinking is an
exercise some persons are not used
to.
No, Mr. Downing, we would not have
a country of uneducated, unread and
unthinking people. We prefer even
an occasional revolution rather than
to go without the privileges which
we .have 'gained through this educa
tion, reading and thinking.
A COMMUNITY HOUSE
Let's build a community house for
Columbia. Columbia needs a common
meeting place where the whole town
can get together.
In the majority of cases when a
city project of this kind is mentioned,
a city park is immediately thought
of. Parks are desirable. They are
good places for the sweltering inhabi
tants of a city to cool off in but they
are usable only half the year at the
most. Something that could be used
the year round is none too good for
Columbia. If possible let us have a
park, too, but by all means let us
have a municipal auditorium, owned
and operated by the city.
A municipal auditorium helped
greatly in the uniting and organizing
of the peoples of San Francisco. Kan
sas City has her Convention Hall,
where the residents of Kansas City
gather to participate in or watch ev
erything from a political meeting to
a moving picture performance of a
fairy tale for the newsboys of the city.
Chicago has her Coliseum, where dele
gates of political parties from the
city, state and Nation gather to form
ulate policies.
A meeting place of this sort would
be an attractive addition to Colum
bia. Columbia is a city of conven
tions. Nothing would be a greater
drawing card to large state organiza
tions than a commodious hall that
could house their meeting comfort
ably. Partisan political speeches, coUjld
be heard here without a check of ex
pression. At present the University
Auditorium is- used for this purpose.
Patty politics cannot be indulged in
there. It is not permissible for Dem
ocrats to slay Republicans in a battle
of words there, or vice versa. The
University is a state institution, sup
ported by people of both parties. It
does not belong to Columbia.
Columbia's community house would
not be reserved only for politics. It
would be the home of community
dances and ' sings." Entertainment
and comfort for the town would be
provided here. It would be not a
country club for the exclusive few,
but a town club for the varying tastes
of the many.
All together, let's give Columbia a
community house. It would help build
a spirit of comradeship, appreciation
and mutual aid between the 12,000
inhabitants of the town.
