Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
And still the sign remains. Some one is rather slow In taking
down these forbidden "ads," even after they have served their pur
pose long since.
Today is election day and nearly every man in the University will
vote. The vital thing is the support of the principles that one be
lieves best. Personal or party prejudice should absolutely be elim
inated. Whatever men are elected president and governor there is
one issue that should be successful above all others, and that is the
amendment for state prohibition.
Alcohol is harmful, and a man who can vote for an issue which
is a hindrance to the very best health and welfare of the country
should not be allowed in the society of self-respecting citizens. Mr.
Bryan brought out one of the best arguments against the use of
alcohol, when he said that no normal brain has ever been created
that demanded a stimulant, and if the brain was not normal and did
demand alcohol as a stimulant, the man was abnormal and should
be classed as a defective. Vote for the "prohibition of the sale of
alcoholic beverages, except for medicinal purposes," today, and do
one of the best things, from a moral and economic standpoint, that
it will ever be your privilege to do.
The corridors in U hall are one conglomerate mass of humanity
between classes. They are filled with a hot, anxious, pushing mob
that is intent upon one thing only "to get there."
If a little system were put into practice, and one stairway be
used for those going up, and the other stairway for those going down,
the confusion and the unpleasantness of a jabbed eye or a mutilated
foot would be done away with.
There is no reason why the halls, especially on the first floor,
should be so crowded. "System" is one of the dominant rules in the
teachings of the institution, system in study, system in living and
even in recreation is taught, why not a system in keeping out of a
congestion that is suffocating and dangerous and develops this man
ner of clearing the halls, as another point for our efficiency record.
The Nebraskan straw vote yesterday shows the general trpnd of
student opinion. There were overwhelming majorites, both for the
president and for the dry amendment. It is interesting to see what
way the wave of sympathy is carried, for a certain man or issue.
There is no doubt that Mr. V. J. Bryan's speech at 9 o'clock had
an influence on the vote, but how much of an influence can be left
only to the opinon of each reader. Nevertheless, the result of the
vote cannot help but indicate the way that Nebraska will vote today.
It is inevitable.
William Jennings Bryan addressed the University faculty and
students in the Temple theater at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and
he devoted two-thirds of his speech to the dry amendment. Mr.
Bryan is an eloquent man and whatever he says has weight with his
audience. He could have given his time to the presidential campaign,
but the amendment for prohibition in Nebraska came first in con
sideration. Mr. Bryan can be admired for the fearlessness with which he
attacked his own party in this state for not supporting prohibition.
A man who has the courage to call his own party names before
fifteen hundred people, is no weakling, at any rate.

FORUM
To the Editor of The Daily Nebras
kan:
Every student in the University
ought to respond to your editorial ap
peal for a revival of song, with long
cheers and prolonged applause. As
you suggest, the newly discovered Ne
braska song, "The Scarlet and Cream"
ougiH to come back into general use.
This beautiful, stirring alma mater
song ought to be sung at every ban
quet, "mixer rally; in fact, it ought
to be used in groups large and small
where college men and women are
gathered, used as a medium of ex
pressing their loyalty and college
spirit.
No university ought to allow the
popular syncopated ragtim? melodies
to displace the traditional alma mater
songs. These old-time songs have
transmitted the spirit and traditions
of the institution from one class to
another andfrom one college genera
tion to another, and no institution can
afford to allow them to fall into dis
use. The mere titles are enough to
stir the blood. Princeton men for
more than a half century have been
singing "In Praise of Old Nassau, My
Boys, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!"
There is i half century between
Fair Harvard." "Cheer Boys, Che.'r"
of Hamilton, 'The Mountains" of Vil
liams, and "On Wisconsin," "Hail Min
nesota," '"The bcarlet and Cream. '
but years of WV und traditions ar.'l
deep sentiment are wrapped up in
these bits of college verse and music.
Will somebody who has lived more
than ten years in this University com
munity tell us why the "Scarlet and
Cream" is unknown to the present
generation of Nebraska students?
Why was it ever given up as an alma
mater song? How can it be brought
back into general use for the expres
sion of the deeper and finer Nebraska
spir'? Will somebody .answer these
cuest ions and will the editor of The
Nebraskan please publish the words
of this old song in some issue of the
paper soon?
