WEDNESDAY, JANUARY o, 1916 It is indeed encouraging to note that the more or loss new School of Commerce has had such a wonderful growth since the first semester in 1911-1912 school year. Five years ago 257 students were registered in this school the first semester while the registra tion the first semester this year shows an increase of .rG4 in attend ance or a total of 821. AVe are wondering what the next five years will bring after the showing made during the past five. It was formerly thought that anyone could be a business man but thinkers are waking up to the fact that the failure of ninety per cent of all business men is due mainly to one thing and that being a lack of knowledge of the fundamental principles of the science of business. We look up to a well developed engineering department, an ex cellent law school and a wonderful agricultural college; why not recognize from now on that the School of Commerce is now one of the big divisions of the university and that the prospects for the future are that it will rank with those now highest.

To Students of the University of Ne braska: Politicians are laying wires for the next election and editors are writing paragraphs on the necessity of sav ing the party at all hazards. As the same anxiety seems to prevail in all camps it must be there is a difference of opinion among men presumed to be of the same party. Hence the appar ent object of selecting a candidate as near a safe zero as possible so that he may please everybody and no body at the same time. Party first the state second and still we won der what ails Nebraska. Nebraska needs a man, not neces sarily a professional politician nor yet a rabid partisan for her chief executive. By a process of elimina tion, aa Mr. Burns says, we may sort through the possibilities, discarding those unfitted by bias and prejudice until we come to the man for the place. And what manner of man .shall we choose? Not the banker, blinded by the glit ter of 10 per cent, and shut In from the common herd by barriers of brass and mahogany. Not the lawyer, cer tainly, for we have tried him and found him wanting, more inclined to reverence the past than to respect the present and future. Not the business man, for he is to apt to hold up busi ness as an idol which we are to serve rather than make it serve us. Not the doctor, nor yet the preacher, for both are narrow; nor the artisan for his training is too limited; nor the farmer for he can seldom get away from his chores. With all this elimination, who then is left? The president of the United States is neither doctor, lawyer, merchant nor chief. Woodrow Wilson, academi cian, student; scholar, eminently fitted by mental training and habit of mind for the office of chief executive, has given us an administration that makes an epoch in our history. We need a man of the same qualifications for our democratic governor. In our own state University we have a man beloved by hosts of stu dents; a student of society and its institutions; a man fair and impartial in his judgments. He knows why states of other days have fallen into decay and what errors we must avoid if we are to escape their fate. He knows the story of the rise of an cient kingdoms, their progress from democracy to imperialism and subse quent decay. He knows that the Roman empire was doomed when her agriculture languished, and that mod ern empires have built upon the old false foundations which must inevit ably crumble, and he knows too that a nation's prosperity is based upon the prosperity of all its people and not upon the wealth of the few and the poverty of the many; and people of all times, ancient, medieval and modern, are very much alike, and the science of government is simple ( enough that all may understand It. .With all his knowledge of statecraft A lecture on the Engineering" by L.
