Kea. as secondStaM mail matter
under the act of Congress of March 3,
1S79.
"What a sigh of relief, has gone up
to the skies now that we know that
Mayor Miller's dancing ordinance,
which is to establish a minimum ago
limit for male dancers unless accom
panied by a guardian as 21, will not
affect University parties. Think what
would happen to the remaining dances
on the schedule if only voting men
were permitted to come. Think what
the freshmen, sophomores and juniors
narrowly escaped social eclipse. As
for the other provisions of the ordi
nancethose prohibiting the bunny
hug and other "mysterious holds,"
The Nebraskan refuses to be alarmed,
even though it is announced that these
regulations will "hold sway" at Uni
versity affairs as well as at public
dances.
The letter from Lieutenant-Colonel
Yates, formerly commandant at the
University and now military attache
on the Roumanian front, shows that
another military expert in a position
to know views America's struggle for
the cause of democracy as a long and
stern one. America must be recon
ciled to the prospect of a tedious, ex
hausting war, and should guide her
self accordingly, and the University
must devote itself with increasing dili
gence to the task of turning out young
men and women trained to aid in the
war in some capacity. The Nebraskan
is glad to note in this connection that
the University is taking the lead in
promoting a girl's school of stenog
raphy and telegraphy, which proposes
to fit co-eds for governmental and civil
positions. Cornhusker co-eds, who have
shown by their support of war activ
ities their desire to serve, will now
have the chance to train themselves
for a definite work and to do it along
with their other college studies.
is
olo-tho
The Atchison Globe, one of the most
influential country newspapers in the
Missouri Valley, is fiercely censuring
the editorial efforts of Theodore Roose
velt, and, in an article this week
goes so far as to assert that he is
doing more harm, through his con
tinued criticism of tho administration,
than is the scorned LaFollette. Sum
ming up its accusations, the Globe
concludes with this significant sen
tence, the philosophy of which Tho
Nebraskan has often stressed: "Head
strong patriots so often do more harm
than traitors." That Theodore Roose
velt's energetic big stick has exercised
a wholesome and stimulating influence
on America before the war and in its
early stages all fair-minded persons
will agree. And those who are anx
ious that the war be carried on with
the greatest effectiveness are the last
to desire the checkmating of construc
tive criticism. But it is indeed evident
that continued harking back to past
mistakes and past weaknesses, just
as truly as uncalled-for ranting in the
name of patriotism, tends rather to
destroy than to build up the country's
morale.

ON KEEPING FIT
Preparedness for national dofonso
demands that ovory individual koop
himself physically fit to ubaro in tho
patriotic work of serving tho nation.
There is not a studont in tho Univer
sity to whom this does not apply. It
applies to all; it applies to you.
The student who has tho heaviest
classroom work is tho last person
who can safoly ignore tho require
ments for regular exorciso in tho open
air. Insufficient exorcise, which is
necessarily weakening mentally and
physically, is often tho first step to
unhealthy habits. Now soriouBly ask
yourself if you aro negligent as re
gards ventilation, if you deprive your
self of needed sleep and if you over
eat day after day. In this day of
strife everyone is called, and every
one must respond. From The Univer
sity Daily Kansan.
THE FIRST INTERE8T
INSTALLMENT
rin iiennmlinr 15 the first install
ment of interest on the two billion dol
lars of tho first issue of Liberty Loan
bonds became due. The amount ap
nrnvfmntfid $35,000,000. being $1.75 in
terest on every one hundred dollars
of bonds.
Holders of coupon bonds obtain
their interest money from any bank or
postoffice in the country by simply pre-
enntine thfilr COUDOnS. Holders Of
registered bonds are sent checks for
their interest by the Treasury.
Hereafter every six montns ten to
fifteen million American citizens are to
receive interest money on their Lib
erty Loan 'bonds from the United
States Government. This is going to
create a closer and more direct associ
ntinn of these citizens with their gov
ernment, and tho effect of this asocia-
tion is going to be of great value to
thn Nation. In making tnem more

The Liberty Loan is not only a great
finnnrinl transaction: it is a great na
tinnnl force, a creat national bond be
tween the bondholders and their coun
try, a creat influence for better govern
ment and better citizenship. Treasury
