Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second Class
mall matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
Today is election day and the arguments for, and against the
candidates will be many. If you vote, don't make your cross after the
candidate's name that is the most melodious, or vote for him because
you "really don't care which one gets it," but take a couple of minutes
and find out which candidate has the best executive ability find out
his ideals on democracy discover whether he has ever done anything
for the school. Then if you are satisfied that he is the right man,
go in and cast an "intelligent vote."
' There is no man who has not been tempted to tilt his nose in the
air and be a snob. When someone who has no claim to birth, breeding
or brains, carries himself with an air of aloofness, and makes himself
generally disagreeable, someone else's feelings are hurt. The man
or woman who is broad-minded and sensible is the one who displays
refinement and the element of human kindness and abandons the
unklndness of an "holier than thou" attitude.
The Hughes meeting last evening was a "sign of the times."
The Nebraska state hymn which appears in this issued is a com
position which will be sung when we are all gray-haired old men and
old ladies.'
"Thy manly wisdom firm to rule;
Thy womanhood in church and school
Thy learning, culture, art and peace,
Do make thee strong, and ne'er shall cease
To keep thee great!"
When Marcus Poteet resigned his office as business manager of
The Daily Nebraskan, the "Rag" lost one of the ablest business men
it has had for years. Mr. Poteet knows the advertising game from
the beginning and much of the success of the paper this semester was
due to his able work on the advertising end of the paper.
CLASS ELECTIONS
Nothing can add so much to the dignity of class offices as real
competition at the elections. The man who Is elected as the best of
several competitors is certain to command more respect than the man
who needs only his own ballot to secure his election. Class officers
can be. and should be, influential men. There should be more than
one candidate for every office when the nominations close tonight.

THE MAN WHO QUITS
The man who quits has a brain and
hand
As good as the next. . but ho lacks the
sand
That would make him stick, with a
courage stout,
To whatever he tackles, and fight it
out.
He starts with a rush, and a solemn
vow
That he'll soon be showing the others
how;
Then something new strikes his , rov
ing eye.
And his task Is left "for the bye and
bye.
It's up to each man what becomes of
him;
He must find In himself the grit and
vim
That brings success; he can get the
skill,
If he brings to the task a steadfast
will.
No man is beaten till he gives in;
Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful
grin;
The man who fails needs a better ex
cuse That the quitter's whining "What's
the use?"
For the man who quits lets his
chances slip
Just because he's too lazy to keep his
grip.
The man who sticks goes ahead with
a shout,
While the man who quits Joins the
"down and out"

BRIEF BITS OF NLWS
J. A. Waddell of Kansas City pre
sented the engineering department
with thirty copies of "Addresses to
Engineering Students." The book is
a series of articles on engineering
subjects prepared by the prominent
men in this work.
WOMEN AND ADVICE
It is easy enough to understand why
theN women's magazines print so much
about marriage, for matrimony 1b the
one subject in the world nearest and
dearest to the heart of every woman,
and she will read articles concerning
matrimony whether or not the United
States goes to war with Mexico. But
why do publishers give up bo much
space to writers whose highest mis
sion seems to bo to warn the Ameri
can business woraan against lunches
of dill pickles and custard pie, short
skirts, thin blouses and designing em
ployers? Regular hours, lot of hot
water, common sense shoes, "immacu
late shirtwaists" (of fairly thick ma
terial) and "neatly arranged hair" are
regularly recommended to the busi
ness girl in almost any magazine she
may pick up. It would seem that the
average woman who has brains
enough'to carry on the routine work
of an office should know enough to
comb her hair and manicure her nails
occasionally without having to consult
a magazine.
Another curious thing is that this
class of advice should be directed so
exclusively to the business woman.
No one ever yet read an article en
Joining school teachers to beware lest
their skirts be cut one-tenth of an
Inch too far from the ground. One
might Judge that school teachers live
on a higher mental and moral plane,
or that less in the way of outward
appearance and seemly behavior is ex
pected from the woman who works
with children than from her who
works with men. Of course, it must
be admitted that a fluffy little girl in
the schoolroom with the children and
a fluffy little girl in the children's fa
ther's office are two different proposi
tions with the woman at home.
It is to be hoped that the time is
near when women's publications will
discover some of the many ways in
which they may be of real and valu
able assistance to the woman who
makes her living through office work.

GOOD COMPANY
(By Karle Wilson Baker, in the Poetry
Review of America.)
Today I have grown taller from walk
ing with the trees
The seven sister-poplars who go softly
in a line;
And I think my heart is whiter for its
parley with a star
That trembled out at nightfall and
hung above the pine.
The call-note of a redbird from the
cedars in the dusk
Woke his happy mate within me to an
answer free and fine;
And a sudden angel beckoned from a
column of blue smoke
Lord, who am I that they should stoop
these holy folk of Thine?
