Nebraska, as pecond-class mail matter, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1914 For it stirs the blood in an old man's heart; And makes his pulses fly, To catch the thrill of a happy voice. And the light of a pleasant eye. Willis. Express your opinion in the Forum. It is open to all. "Do your Christmas studying now," savs the editor of the Minnesota Daily. Would that all people had a sense of humor! Contrary to the beliefs of some, we do not lie awake at nights planning ways and means of molest ing a certain worthy religious organi zation. TRIVIAL LAWS In the Lawrence strike of 1912 mobs paraded flags bearing the in scription. "No God, Xo Master." So the next winter the Massachusetts legislature, as legislatures will, passed a law that red flags be kept out of all parades. This they hoped would end one form tf disrespec to God and the capitalists. As sometimes happens, the wrong animal got in the trap. Says a recent decision of the Massachusetts Su preme uJdicial Court: "The words of the statute are sweeping and make no exceptions in favor of political parties, social organizations, society, bene ficiary' or other associations." In fact, the words were so sweeping that they caught the Harvard crimson. The students now carry a white flag with a little red "H" in the center. Presumably Massahcusetts has sat isfactorily disposed of all its impor tant social problems and ambitious legislators are trying hard to find something new to regulate. We sug gest that they decide whether tan shoes should be permitted at evening parties, whether it Is permissable for women to accept presents from their men friends, and 'whether a man should wear a belt or suspenders. Of course, if a legislature has a few unsolved problems on hand and real izes that adverse social conditions can be made less hard by earnest thought and action, we do not think they should take time to pass freak laws in an attempt to regulate trivial mat ters of conduct.
