Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
Saturday, the twenty-eighth of October, is the last day of regis
tration, which means that if certain candidates are elected some of the
people who want them in office had better get busy and register be'ore
it is too late. It is easy to put things oft till the last minute, but '
there is always danger of the minute after the last coming before it
is expected.
The University man is presumably a well-educated man, and a
well-educated man is supposed to be a broad-minded person, with
intelligent ideas on the government and economic questions. There
fore it is much more important that a University man should register
and cast his vote than the uneducated, ignorant foreigner who will be
dragged to the polls, and will cast any kind of a vote, anyway.
It is a serious matter that the right candidates be elected this fall
and it will be far more serious if they aren't.
There are only three more days in which to register.
The team and band will not arrive in Lincoln until tomorrow.
Vacation is a temptation can't blame them for not being anxious to
start into their work again.
Ten days till mid-semester!
Again this stupid lack of spirit! There were three men and six
women, out of a class of two hundred and fifty, who attended tho
senior class meeting, yesterday. As a result eight of them were
elected to office, which is perfectly all right but very ridiculous. When
a person gets to be a senior, is it beneath his dignity to convene with
the howling mob or is it because there Is a "sameness" to all this
class rpirit and these meetings "you know?"
There are always the same persons who can be relied upon and
when they receive even the slightest rcognition, the first ones to
find fault are the ones who have been sitting back calmly till the work
is done and the music starts.
The seniors are becoming old, and are nearly grownups, but their
manner Of haughty contempt, or the usual unconcern, one of the two
which was the cause of so few at the meeting this manner or spirit
is the thing that must be driven out of the atmosphere at Nebraska,
and it would be very fitting for the seniors to set the example. There
must be more wholesome, whole-hearted enthusiasm and boosting.
It must pervade the whole atmosphere, so that we can breathe it,
think it, hear it and see it everywhere.

Sheldon B. Coon, '09, now industrial
secretary of the Spokane chamber of
commerce, has sent to The Daily Ne
braskan a statement issued by the Spo
kane chamber of commerce because
of the various conflicting reports that
have been given out of the effects of I
the prohibition law in Washington.
The statement contains merely sta
tistics from the comptroller of the
currency, which'' tend to show that
with booze driven from the state, Spo
kane has not suffered in a business
way, but has, in fact, prospered.
L. II. Douglas, former state Univer
sity student, and now district grazing
examiner in the United States fores
try service, with headquarters at Den
ver, Tislted the University yesterday.
He had just come from San Francisco
where the grazing supervisors in the
forestry service had met for confer
ence. He was accomp-nled to Lincoln
by bis wife and a ten-months-old baby.
Drake. Howard Drew, famous ne
gro sprinter, holding world's records,
comes here to enter law. Ex.
a larger sum, only 4,000 soldiers have
been recruited. Why? Because
Americans are not patriotic? No, be
cause a standing army is a commer
cial proposition, and if a man can
make more money at peaceful pursuits
than he can in tho army, he will not
Join. In time of prosperity, a stand
ing army cannot be materially in
creased." In this respect America Is no differ
ent from European countries, where the
speaker said, standing armies were
maintained because the governments
considered them a necessity, and kept
the ranks filled by compulsory service.
" Patriotism Is Not Dead
"Patriotism is not dead. It is here
today just as it was in the yesterday
of history. The conditions are not
right, we cannot see it. Let the op
portunity come and the world will see
in America an example of patriotism
which it has never seen before. Like
Mount Ranier on a cloudy day, it can
not be seen. Bring a vital need, and
like that mountain It will appear in
incomparable glory."
Commercialism, not only in the mat
ter of preparedness, but in all phases
of life, received a severe arraignment.
"I sometimes think," said the con
gressman, "that Americans hold the
dollar so close to the eye that it blots
out everything else. We are, It seems
to me, raising our boys to make money
rather than to render service to the
world. It is a matter of indifference
how much money you make; how
much property you accumulate. You
come into this world with nothing and
leave it with nothing. It's what lion
between the coming in and the going
out that counts. No life is in itself
its own justification."
Mr. Reavis laid particular stress
upon the importance of the education
being enjoyed by students in the Unl-
vorsity, and reminded his audience of
the sacrifice and self-denial upon the
Innrf nf ttnruntii tn make this education

possible. That it is more important
than anything else in the world was
the expressed belief of the speaker.
"I have voted for conservation of
water power, of timber tracts, of nat
ural resources of every kind. And yet
the one thing which we should con
serve above everything else la the
youth of America. The strength of
this nation lies not with the president
nor congress, not with the navy or far
flung battle-line; her greatest strength
and her greatest promise lies in the
education of her children in the Chris
tian homes of America."
GOOD ROADS BONDS
BEFORE VOTERS
(Continued from Page One)
meeting of citizens and taxpayers at
the court house a few weeks ago. Pe
titions were drawn up for the sub
mission of the proposition, and the
first suggestion that $500,000 be asked
for was changed to $800,000. An active
organization has been formed of farm
ers and business men of Lincoln and
neighboring towns in the county, to
boost the proposition before the
voters.
STATE FARM PROVES
FALL PLOWING OF
WHEAT WORTH WHILE
That early fall plowing for winter
wheat pays is evident in all parts of
Nebraska as well as on the experi
mental plots of the agronomy depart
ment of the Nebraska experiment sta
tion at the University farm. Wheat is
growing well on land plowed early, but
is not out of the ground on late-
plowed land.
In one cultural experiment at the
University farm, plots were plowed
at various times, but were seeded at
the same time. The August-plowed
land shows a good growth of wheat,
while September-plowed land has
none. The reason for the success for
the early plowing is that the land is
put in condition so as to hold the
moisture supplied by early rains.
