NEWS WRITERS HAD BANQUET
SCOOP CLUB AND M. U. PRESS CLUB MET.
Thirty-Two Guests at First Banquet of the Two Missouri Valley Schools.
"Well, I guess the millinnium's about due," said a former student of the University of Missouri, after he had looked and listened a moment at the door of the grill room of the Sexton hotel in Kansas City Saturday night.
What he saw there was a group of students and former student of the Universities of Kansas and Missouri sitting together at a banquet. What he heard was the Kansas yell applauded by Missouri men and the Missouri yell applauded by Kansas men. The Scoop club of the University of Kansas and the Dana Press club of the University of Missouri were holding their first meeting together.
Six members of the Dana Press club journeyed up from Columbia to attend the meeting, with Prof Frank Martin of the Missouri school of Journalism. They are all enthusiasts in newspaper world and the members of the Sooop club say they profited much from meeting the Missouri men. The Dana club members present were Prof. Frank Martin of the University of Missouri school of journalism; J.B. Powell, managing editor of the University Missouri an; H.E.Ridings, president of the University Missourian board Vaughn Bryant, J.E. Chasnof and G.V.Kenton.
Thirteen active members of the Scoop club were present. Arthur Riddle of the Minneapolis Messenger, Wallace Hovey of the Hawaii News-Democrat, and John Paul Jones, who is now practising law at Bonner Springs, were alumni members who came to Kansas City for the banquet. The remainder of the thirty-two guests were alumni of the Universities of Kansas and Missouri, who are now in newspaper work at Kansas City. They were Henry Schott, C. L. Edson, Jerome Beatty, Marvin Creager, Roy Roberts Cecil Eastman, John Lovett, H Clay Waters and H. M. Hoelke of the Kansas City Star and Times Theodore Alford and James Craig of the Kansas City Post.
Jerome Beatty of the Kansas City Times, the first president of the Scoop club, was the toastmaster. J. B. Powell of the University Missourian, Harry Kemp. "Dooley" Riddle of Minneapolis Frank Martin of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri, Henry Schott, Marvin Creager and C. L. Edson of the Times, and James Craig of the Post were the speakers.
Mr. Craig told of the trouble he had when he first went into newspaper work at Kansas City to find another college man on a paper there who was not from the University of Kansas.
"Finally," he said, "Frank Martin came down from Nebraska, and then we two could get together and say what we pleased about the Jayhawkers."
C. L. Edson read a chapter of a novel he is writing, a love story with its setting the University of Kansas. "A novel," said Mr. Edson, "should be eaten like a watermelon. It should be broken open and the heart should be secooped out first. Too often we gnaw through the rind of a story
only to find when we get to the heart of it that the thing is rotter inside." Acting on this theory Mr. Edson, instead of putting his introduction at the beginning of the book, has placed it at the end of the first chapter.
Henry Schott gave the journalism students a talk about "Getting a Job." He extended to the two clubs an invitation from Col. W. R. Nelson to be the guests of the Star at their next meeting in Kansas City.
Harry Kemp read two poems which he has lately had accepted by the magazines, and a third, which he composed on the evening of the banquet in honor of the newspaper profession, is as follows:
Here's to that, modest, unpretentious band
Who fling the day's news broadcast through the land,
Who, mid most of our joy, and woe,
and strife.
Keeping their fingers on the pulse of life.
Like wise physicians, on the symptoms dwell
On these, our times, and future ills foretell.
Not theirs the light that beats upon a throne;
They pass their arduous days and nights, unknown;
Sufficient praise to them is work well done.
With each new day their toil's anew begun.
And thus they ever lift the Present's glass
Wherein the world may see its own self pass
In swift review, fleet as the wings of Time.
With Poverty and Wealth, Reform and Crime.
Yet, though unknown, they grope not with the blind,
But grip the hidden springs that move mankind;
A power is theirs to make and unmake fame.
Though they themselves have no recorded name.
To them the Mighty and the Haughty bend,
And all the Powers that be must con descend
From their proud course—the prince the general bold,
The magnate, rich in stocks and bonds and gold—
And many a Public Graft which flees the sight,
By them is caught and dragged forth into light
Of open shame—so here's to those brave men
Who fight the Nation's fight with val iant pen;
For Public Good, long may they strive and be
The People's guardians of Liberty.

VESPER SERVICE CLOSED SERIES
DR. GLADDEN ON "THE NEW KNIGHTHOOD."
For the Past Week the Lecturer Has Addressed Large Audiences Each Day.
Dr. Washington Gladden gave a fitting close to his series of lectures during the week of the Bible Institute in his address on Sunday afternoon at the vesper service on "The New Knight hood." To outline the characteristics which are to exemplify the new chivalry he quoted several of the admonitions in the letters of the apostles Peter and Paul.
Though the spirit of the ol chivalry is not to be ridiculed, Dr Gladden suggested its limitation in that the old knights were willing to exercise their virtues for but a limited class. Furthermore the new knighthood is an improvement because it consecrates rather than condemns trade.
Dr. Gladden presented a strong elaboration of an argument of Professor James, which advocates the preparation for a close friendship with poverty by the modern man as an excellent moral equipment for war. According to the great Ohio preacher, the distinctive mark of the new knighthood is courage—the courage which is not afraid of poverty. The man thus armed is truly brave and can be independent in his efforts for the betterment of mankind.
The founder of the new knighthood inevitably is Christ who though rich, became poor. To obey him will bring the truest membership in the order of the knighthood. The beauty of the authem admirably sung by the chorus furnished to the large audience a pleasing addition to the afternoon service. The instrumental prelude and postlude fully equaled the high standard which has been attained in that part of the vesper services during the past winter.
