This Is what tlio. students think of tho socloty.

Again we are forcibly struck with the sincere Idea that the present method of choosing these men Is fundamentally wrong out of place IiTlTlTemoeratk TTodyT TlTesio "men If the organization Is to be worthy of consideration. If the organization is to be moro than a mutual admiration club, if the organization is to carry weight with the students must neces sarily bo the popular loaders. Tho usefulness of this, organization de pends directly upon tho popular lead ership of Its members. It Is directly from tho students that tho Innocents, through leadership, can over bo worthy of second consideration. It may be argued that thirteen mon of the graduating class are bqttor qualified to chooso tho thirteen best men from the junior class than is the student body. Theso men, we aro told, know who is who and choose ac cordingly. Out after all, Is It not merely an estimate on tho"T)nrt of theso thlrteon well-meaning men? Aro they not but estimating who are the moro popular men who aro tho leaTler8? Are they not, among them selves, trying to fathom public opin ion, trying to chooso tho mon who are Cornhuskers.

Manager Swift of tho Cornhusker was to glvo away one do luxe book to one out of every hundred persons who placed their or ders beforo 8 a. m., Wednesday, April 1st. Tho book was to havo the lucky person's namo on It In gold. Tho win ners were to bo determined by a sys tem of numbering and drawing. Fur ther, out of every hundred copies sold after 8 o'clock one person was to be given ti tie lu.vo book ' in place or a standard which thoy might order. Tho names of tho winners in tho drawing wero to be announced in tho "Rag" and on the Cornhuskor bulletin board In front of tho ofllce. It may also be noted that those commissioned to take orders used tho drawing thus provided for as an Inducement In urging stu dents to subscribe. In tho Nebrnskan of April 3rd, Man ager Swift was quoted aB saying that the salo of Cornhuskers was "the host over." Evidently ho was even then being asked to namo tho winners, for the same article goes on to say: "The I prizes to be given on the orders takon before 8 o'clock on the tlrst day will" be -annouTicrtTtlnrlirHt of tills week or early next.

Thoy alone aro fitted to be members of an organization which will havo real power among tho students. What we wnnLro-the-mrturHl-leailer: W-e- ask you, WHO IS BETTER ABLE TO CHOOSE THEIR LEADERS THAN THOSE WHO ARE TO FOLLOW? Wo firmly believe with Thomas Jcf forson that all tho people aro wiser than any Individual or group. The Innocents, wo aro reliably told, choose, on the other hand, tho men that they believe will further their own specific ends, not those that will have power, or thoso who havo earned for themsolves popular recognition in thp University.. Neither Is any sort of representation aimed at, nor is recognition for past achievements taken as proper criterion for choice. Now wo ask, just what aro theso ends? They aro doubtless what thoso thir teen men bollove tho best for tho Uni versity. Again refer to Mr. Jefferson. To sum the whole thing up in a word, thg, Innoconts do not wish to choose c lea'dors, they do not tfjsh to - glvo Cosmopolitan Club.

This latter was also Included in the announcement of March 31.) The last of that week and the first of the next came and went, as well as the last and first of several succeed ing weeks, and yet we have not heard from Manager Swift. Ills silence has been broken but once. On April 9th the Nebraskan contained this statements-"In response to tho question as to why he has not announced the winners . . . Manager Swift smiles and says, "I've just simply got too inmiy things on my mind now, but before long I'll be ready to mako the announcement."

Everybody cordially invited. dents who ordered Cornhuskers for Mr. Swift to immediately hold tho long-dolnyed drawing and announce the winners? Ho at least should give u reasonable explanation of his delay and sot a date for the drawing. The keeping of his promise in regard to this matter will mako it easier for future managers to hold the confidence of the students. . McB. To the Subscribers of the Daily Nebraskan : During the campaign for new subscribers during the past registration week, promissory notes for $1.00 were taken by the management as equivalent to the cash subscription. While these notes aro payable on the demand of the publishers, it is not the intent of the pub lishers to demand the payment at a certain date but it understood that payment must be made be fore tha signer of the note leaves school. Those who are indebted to the Daily Nebraskan for the present semester may visit tho offioe in the basement of University Hall at any time and upon the payment of $1.00 receive a receipt in full.
