But they, too, enjoy Christmas, for their disappointment i- over in a few hours and is nothing compared to the weeks of delightful anticipation which have passed, and seeing the toys means almost as much to them as possesion to other children, for they probably will never know what it means to possess. SPIRIT OP THE NEWS 1 1 viewpoints The selection of Philander C. Knox as secretary of state in Taft's cabinet meets with the approval of most people. Mr.

Knox made an excellent record as attorney general under President Roosevelt is regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in the Unitel States. Besides this fact there is the diplomatic ability of Mr. Knox. The new secretary of state is a "mixer" of the highest type and with his shrewd skill in handling people, will doubtless make a success in his new and important office. Mr.

Knox will succeed Eli-Im Root, who is considered generally to lie one of the best men who have headed the presidential cabinet. INCREASED PAY FOR JUDGES. The President's recommendation of a higher salary for federal judges has raised a question that is not likely to be settled until the increased salaries are granted. In the compensation which it give. it nllieials tor tlieir llie state Judge Jones, sitting at Union, in the case of the night riders charged with the murder of Captain Rankin a few months ago, has issued an edict that none of the ministers of the city refer to the case in tlieir pulpits while it is on trial.

Similar orders have been issued to the Tennessee papers in regard to printing testimony in the ease, the avowed purpose of the orders tieing to prevent the stirring up of strife. Whether a judge has the right to thus "liottlc up" the press of an entire state should come somewhere near approxi mating the wages offered for similar Jand the ministers of a city, would seem sen-ices in economic fields of labor.

To the Editor of the Cnlrerslty Missourian: There should lie a larger dormitory for the University girls. Read Hall is the only one we have anil this only accommodates twenty-eight of the hundreds of girls in the University of Missouri. Provision is made for a great number of the lioys and they have lioth Benton and Lathrop Hall. It is much more necessary to take care of the girls, for the boys can hustle for themselves and it doesn't make so much difference where they stay anyhow. But a girls' room is her home.

A young Freshman girl comes into town for the first time, scared to death. She is willing to go anywhere just so she gets in somewhere, and is thankful to have a place to lay her head and cry off her homesickness. Everything depends upon the start a girl gets in a University and some provision should lie made to accommodate more of the girls. CO-ED. HE IS OLDEST IN SERVICE AS MEMBER OF BOARD OF CURATORS A.

Everybody in the world likes Christmas; from the grouch v. old, office worn, bookkeepi' the little pickaninny who gets a few-second-hand toys from the family her mother washes for: from the old maid whose stifled mother instinct finds joy in giving to a neighlior's children, to the blushing sweetheart whose loman-tic heart is enraptured at the gift of her lover; from the mother who. in spite of her complaints of the buffeting of the crowded shops, finds keen delight in selecting a toy to satisfy her remarkable six-year-old son's mechanical taste, and a doll for her litle daughter who is, at the age of eight years, as sweet and motherly as if an angel controlled- her very thoughts; from this mother to the children who lielieve in Santa Claus and see him in their dreams for weeks before Christmas. Christmas gifts? Why. they are worthy of the day which is devoted to their giving.

Who can deny that he likes to receive gifts, and how eminently unfit to lie allowed to partake in Christmas festivities is he who does not find keen joy in giving them! So much trouble to find what to give? Yes, but what delightful trouble; like the pangs of the little boy's first love affair when he lays at night unable to sleep. excruciating are the pangs which tug at his heart strings, but what other pleasure is half as delightful as those pangs? Good times? Why. just to walk down the streets and pass the houses with holly-adorned windows is having a fine time; isn't it fun to shop with the holiday crowds and force your way through groups of people with loaded arms to a counter covered with shining tin monkeys, and bright green parrots, and fuzzy dogs and pick out the one that the baby will like best? No. it isn't all fun. not quite all.

for our pleasure is dimmed at times as we move down the slushy walks after daylight has sped and the shop windows are resplendent with galy colored toys and shining, shimmering, decorations by the knowledge that everyliody cannot Ik as happy as we are. There, in front of this attractive window filled with tos, are two little urchins, one a lioy probably eight years old, and one a little girl three years jounger. The little fellow is ragged and his torn stockings and half-laced shoes are pathetically thin and the contrast is bitterly vivid with the shimmering furs of the lady standing next him. A wisp of tow colored hair hangs over his dirty forehead and his yellow shock is visible around the heavy cotton cap drawn over, his ears.

VARSITY NOTES This is Press Clulr week in Wisconsin University. The Men's Club in connection with the City Press Club gave a dinner Wednesday night, while Thursday evening the women were addressed by a well-known magazine writer. Why Not with Illinois? To the Editor of the Unlrerslty Missourian: Why not more games with Illinois? Why is it that the University of Mis souri and the University of Illinois have so few athletic contests? Whv has the University of Missouri po few relations with the University of Illinois? The University of Missouri has lie- come one ot the leading state univer sities of the country, so why not have more relations with the university of a state that has a recognied leading state university? Outside of Kansas, Missouri has more in common w-ith Illinois than any other state, so why not have more mutual relations? Is the Mississippi river an insurmountable barrier? There are more students from Illinois attending the University of Missouri than from any other outside state, and they would like to ce Illinois receive more attention, especially in the matter of inter-collegiate contet.

such as baseball, track, tennis, and debating. During the past four years, the LTni-vcrsity of Missouri has met only one team from the University of Illinois. That was in tennis last year, and the Missouri team was successful. It might also be said here that the tennis team that was defeated here at Missouri afterwards won the championship of Il linois. Students from Illinois, professors from Illinois, citizens from Illinois, and all persons interested in Illinois at the University of Missouri would like to see Missouri meet Illinois in at least one contest during the coming semes ter, and that is baseball.

MEMBER OF ILLINOIS CLUB. Campbell Wells AMPBELL WELLS, chairman of the Executive Board of the Board of Curators of the University of Missouri, is in jioint of service the oldest memlier of the 15oard. Mr. Wells was appointed a curator of the Uni versity in 1S07 by Gov. Lon V.

"Did you step on her feet during the basketball dance?" sympathetically inquired the man who reads the Missourian. "This in't a local event I have reference to," explained the solicitor somewhat acridly. "I was going to make a report of the latest historical discovery." "Go ahead," prompted the basketball man; "after hearing that the midnight ride of Paul Revere was a fake noth ing can surprise me." "For my part." continued the solic itor, "I'm willing to relegate the William Tell story to the mountains, and even admit that our revolutionary heroes stepped off the bag. but it's hard to renounce the old love story of Anthony and Cleopatra." Tell us about it?" demanded the Junior Medic. "Didn't they meet for the first time on some kind of a boat:" hazarded the Freshman, who regarded events previous to the last presidential election as ancient history.

"Yep." replied the red-headed "Soph" with the wart on his nose, anxious to show how much he knew about it. "Anthony was a sort of a ward politician and stump speaker in Rome. I guess the Ikiss wanted more otes, so he sent Anthony into Egypt with a bunch of campaign buttons to swing the country for him. He was crossing the Nile on a ferrylioat. I think it was.

when he met Cleopatra." "So he fell in love, quit Jiolitics. and met his fate?" guessed the Freshman. "Not if you want to lie up to date." corrected the "Soph." "The latest re ports have it that Anthony played the Queen for an easy mark to help him set himself up as a rival of the lioss." What I would like to know?" aked the Arts student slowly, during the pause that followed, "is how Anthony was able to do it." Well." finished the "Soph." "the Queen doesn't seem to have lieen the beauty the society paiKTs of that day said she was." "It's worth thinkins aliout at least." remarked the Arts student as they filed ont.
