A PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION The patriotic celebration that is planned for the University next Tuesday will be a test oC the real patriotism that does exist hereand it will be a test that the University welcomes. The Ne braskan believes that every man and woman student and every faculty member who can walk next Tuesday will march from the campus to the auditorium, and take part in that celebration. The University is recognized as the leader in the best thought of the state. It stands for the best citizenship, the highest ideals, the worthiest amotions. Because of these things the eyes of the rst of the state are continually turned toward the University, to see what stand it is taking on the issues of the day. The University can perform an immense service for the stare, and a greater one for the nation, by making the coming patriotic meeting a demonstra tion of sincere and earnest Americanism. The University can do this and it will. OMAHA DAY The comparatively small number of University students who accepted the hospitality of the city of Omaha last year on the first "Omaha Day" was disappointing especially to those unprogrssive souls who stayed at home. For they missed a day that was full of fun, excitement and interest. Omaha succeeded as a host, the University failed as a guest. But Omaha came back strong. The same proffer of hospitality has been made for this year, and May 4 has been set for the date that the students will visit Omaha and be entertained by the citi zens there. Mr. E. V. Parrish of the Omaha Commercial club, on the campus arranging details of the trip, yesterday said that he was confident more students would come, and he guaranteed that Omaha's end of the day would be more interesting than ever. The metropolis of the state has won a name throughout the country for its hospitality. The Knights of Ak Sar Ben. the Com mercial club, the University club and the other community organiza tions of Omaha know how to entertain royally. Any student whose ennui is so inerown that he decides the trip isn't worth the effort, is going to regret staying in Lincoln when the "live" ones all journey to the Big Muddy.

Reward. 1301-2 To the Editor of the Dai!y Ne braskan: Since the American decla ration cf war against Germany, th'. peopk of Lincoln, and particularly the students and faculty of the state University, have been variously ad vised, by different intellectual 'eadcr of diers shades of opinion, on how the patriotic citizen ought to feel toward his country in the pres'1,1 crisis, and how he ought to act wh n his country may require h's services. After lalkinR the matter over pri vately with about twenty five mem bers of the listening element of the local population. I desire to sub mit, for the consideration of the experts in the definition of patriot ism, the following courses of con duct. whih the twenty-five cjuiet folks believe are the safest, sound est and most servireable courses of conduct for the citizen to pursue at this time: First. The citizen should tempo rarily hold in voluntary restraint his liberty of speech so far as the is sues raised by the dedartion of war are concerned. Second. When the citizen is prop erly approached hy a person or per sons apparently clothed with the proper governmental authority, and is requested by such properly au thorized person or persons to perfe, m a certain act for the benefit of his country, such for example as pajinp a war tax or enlisting in the srmy. then ihe citizen should prompt! and eiFeiently and without comprint or discussion perform the requested set vice. n ic not believed that America will be long Involved In war, end It probally won't be long until those of tis who feel so inclined cs.n throw off their momentary restraint and iegin again to proselyte for a sphere of Intellectual anarchy. In the meantime. It Beems that It might not be a bad Idea to proceed for a while along the line of the kaiser's poor, oppressed subjects "Keep our mouths closed on two edged Issues and do almost as we are told." C. L. REIN. I ! FORUM j i I An Alumnus Heard From Lincoln, Neb., April 16. 1917 To the Editor of The Daily Nebraskan: 1 Suppose a man saved your life at the risk of his own and at the ex pense of a mangled arm; suppose jyou helped him to a chair and bound up his wounds; suppose you i loaned him an old coat to shelter him from the weather while he was being taken home would you calt vour action "charity?" Would you consider that you had been stirred by feelings of compassion? Suppose a sailor on a torpedo boat, drenched by freezing spray, was made comfortable by a blue muffler, knit by a member of the College Wom en's Naval Reserve league, would you call it "charity?" Would you consider it compassion or pitjj that furnished the yarn and the knitting? American seamen need no charity. If your real to be a worker for the; College Women's Naval Reserve league is prompted or stirred by feel ings of charity do not take up the work. Do you buy the yarn. Do not knit. Keep away from the meetings of the league. You are not wanted. Do you realize that every time a bluejacket stands a watch at sea he is doing it for you; do you ' realize that the lives of the entire j ship's company may depend upon jthe comfort of the men on watch, t and do you realize that if that ship's company happens to be lost their ! lives are lost for you? I The United States navy is the best ted and best clothed navy in ; the world. Everything that is neces ! sary for the health and efficiency of the individual is supplied by the gov ernment so far as possible. There are many good reasons why such things as mufflers and wristlets are not supplied to the men in our navy or in any other navy. There must be a limit to the articles of cloth ing given the men. Our government cannot give every bluejacket a Sara toga trunk, a few hat boxes and some urn brellas. There are certain inti mate things which every individual feels are entirely personal to him self and add to his own comfort; in jthis case comfort is efficiency plus. It is a small thing, after all, that you are asked to do. but let it first of all be considered that the noble women who are members of the Col lege Women's Naval Reserve league are patriots. They think patriotism and, what is more to the point they act patriotism. No thought of charity enters their minds. If they were not women, they are of the kind who would be on the ships doing their part, or in the trenches ready to "go over the top." That is the kind of humanity that animates the workers of the College Women's Naval Reserve league. If they were fighters they would fight as hard as they work. If they were shirkers they would not be working at all for this cause, but they might be making beaded pincushions for some benighted heathen who never saw a pin in bis life, or embroidering slip pers for some unmarried curate who already has a closet full of slippers. It is true that "charity suffereth long and is kind;" also that "charity begins at home," but patriotism be gins at home, too, and the home of patriotism follows the flag. "No charity is asked of the peo ple of the United States at this juncture, but a visible material pa triotism is demanded." LEONARD W. TRESTER.
