Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class
mall matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
The board of regents yesterday requested Professor George E.
Howard to remain in the service of the University at half time, and
a salary was offered to him equal to the maximum salary paid to any
dean in the institution.
This is one of the first recognitions, in a pecuniary way, of schol
arly work in this University. Some of the greatest men that have
ever, been, connected with the faculty here have received incomes
ridiculously small in payment for their valuable services, and have
remained here only because of their sentiment for the school.
Professor Howard's offer is the first step in the right direction to
give the practical appreciatfon for services rendered.
Tonight Nebraska meets Kansas in a debate, at the Temple thea
tre. The Kansas say that they are coming up here to win another
victory from us. If It Is with the same kind of determination and
spirit that they displayed here, the eighteenth of November, they
stand a pretty good chance of carrying out their threats.
Though the debating team has not been defeated by Kansas in
the last fifteen years, the "cycle of victory" cannot change this year,
of all years.
This is Nebraska's chance to avenge the victory on the gridiron,
and the battle of words promises to be an interesting one.
The Innocent society is the honorary senior men's organization
at Nebraska, and the tapping of the Innocents on Ivy day is one of
the near-traditions of the school.
The men are chosen from the new senior class, as men who are
leaders, the ones who have done worth while things and deserve
recognition. To them certain duties are given; certain responsibili
ties are entrusted them. They are in a position to command respect
from everyone.
The answer of the Innocents to Dean Engberg's statement, both
of which were printed in Tuesday's Daily Nebraskan that answer,
written by grown-ups, presumably sensible men, was childish. If
there were no faculty men to demand proper conduct at the banquet,
the ones who were responsible were the senior men who are "the
leaders" the Innocents. Surely, even if two or three were "disabled,"
the remaining number of men in charge of the banquet should have
had backbone enough to request that the students conduct themseKes
in a more fitting manner. It is a deplorable state of affairs when
four hundred University men cannot draw the line between a gentle
manly good time, and an evening of infantile rowdyism.
The Innocents did a great deal in attempting to make the ban
quet a success, and they accomplished several worth while things.
They started right, and truly much credit should be given them.
But they failed, sadly, when they did not command the order that
was wanting. The absence of the faculty shifted the responsibility
to them.
The punishment meted out by Dean Engberg is harsh, but it was
inevitable. ,'
One member can cast a shadow on an otherwise admirable organ
ization. Some of the members have fallen down in their responsi
bilities. The argument that the Innocents act secretly and if the or
ganization fulfills its duties, that is sufficient, can only be answered
by the fact that no organization, no matter how successful in its
accomplishments, can command the proper faith from the public if
its workings are secret. It is an impossibility. There will always be
a shadow of doubt concerning that organization. It Is human nature.
The thing for the Innocents to do now, is to spend the rest of the
year in showing of what calibre they really are. If they make good
in every opportunty they receive that will do moVe to justify them
than all the ridiculous statements and hasty threats that come from
angry and injured feellng3.

More People Today Have Gun Fever
Than Ever Before In History of
Spirt Many Clubs Formed
in Pennsylvania.
No sport lu the country enn be just
ly said to have developed to a greater
degree limn trnpshooting. It is a fact
that more people today have guu fe
ver than ever before in the history of
the game. There is something about
It which "mysteriously draws you In
to the sport" Is the explanation of an
enthusiast. It l different from others
In that the Interested ones participate
Instead of just look on. Of course,
there are galleries for spectators,
which sometimes consist of large
crowds. Those that have the real gun
fever say you can't remain n member
of the gallery long, there's something
draws you Into the gnnie. Figures
seem to indicate that this must be
true, for the sport now lias 500,000
bnckers. Five years ago it didn't have
a qunrter of that number. In Pennsyl
vania alone there ore 500 trnpshoot
ing clubs and an average club con
sists of 50 members, so that makes
25,000 gun bugs.
Extensiveness of Sport.
An idea of the extensiveness ot
trapshooting cuu be had from the fol
lowing figures gathered from the re
cent grand American handicap held In
St. Louis: In it G38 crack trapshoot
ors made entry. It cost ench one from
58 to $13 to enter, and the Interstate
association, under whose auspices It
was given, donated $500. This made
n purse of $6,194. Cap. Jack Wulf,
the winner, received C19. The sec
ond man received $557.45, and the
three men that tied for third place
won $443.(50 ench. Other winners re
ceived various amounts down to $42.25.
During the five days 227,250 clay
birds were used, which, at an average
cost of 7 cents for each bird and shell,
would equal SI 5.1)07.50 spent for the
necessaries. This was not nil. Th
participants came from every state In
the Union and even Canada, and this
traveling expense, plus practically a
week's hotel bill, would average $10C
a shooter. Besides, there were more
than 12,000 spectators, as is always
the case at such special occasions and
nll of them didn't reside in St Louis,
so they also spent neat sums, thus in
creasing the banks clearings. It It
estimated that $000,000 was spent ic
this manner.
