"PATRONIZE OUR PATRONS"
The business management of the
Cornhusker has asked students to
patronize the firms which are advertis
ing in Nebraska's annual book. That
students do this, recognize the stores
that are helping the school, is not
more than just.
If it were not for the advertising,
such a Cornhusker as Nebraska stu
dents have come to expect, at the
usual price would be impossible. The
subscription price would have to be
almost doubled.
Students will be benefitted by trad
ing with the firms that advertise in
student publications as the firms that
have unusual opportunities to offer
are the ones that will wish to call
students' attention to what they have
to sell.
THE FETE OF NATIONS
The most elaborate All-University
party ever given at Nebraska will be
staged in the Temple Saturday eve
ning. It is the plan of those who have
charge of the party to make such a
fete an annual affair if students
wish it.
This year is a particularly appropri
ate one for such an indoor pageant as
the annual outdoor Nebraska pageant
will not be given this June. These
annual June pageants which have be
come known all over the country and
which other states have in several In
stances copied, are necessarily very
expensive. On account of war condi
tions it has been decided not to give
the pageant this year.
But there is no reason why Ne
braska University cannot have a suc
cessful pageant of its own. The ex
pense of such a fete will not be great.
Students and faculty are furnishing
the plans, the costumes and donating
their time. In this way it will be
possible to meet expenses by an ad
mittance charge of only 30 cents.
The "stunts." while guaranteed to
entertain, are not silly, pointless ones,
Dean Amanda Heppner said yester
day. Every program is worth-while.
The fete will be interesting. Tourists
seldom have a chance to see a bit of
Great Britain, France, Italy, Hawaii,
Russia, Greece, in fact such a glimpse
of the world in one single evening.
WHERE DIVINE RIGHT
CAME FROM
The kaiser is the foremost exponent
of faith in the divine right of kings.
In fact, with the possible exception of
the Austrian emperor, he is now the
only royal exponent of that faith. His
utterances on the subject have always
made him seem a curious mixture of
modernism and medievalism to Ameri
cans. At Konigsberg in 1910 he referral to
the subject in a remarkable speech. In
which he said:
And here my grandfather, agalu
by his own right, set the Prussian
crown upon his head, once more
emphasizing the fact that it was
accorded him by the will of God
alone and not by parliament or by
any assemblage of the people or
by popular vote, and that he thus
looked upon himself as the chosen
instrument of heaven, and as such
performed his dutips as regent
and sovereign.
The same divine authority that at
tached to his grandfather attached
also to him. "I regard my whole posi
tion," he said to the representatives
of Brandenburg, "as given to me di
rect from heaven, and that I have been
called by the highest to do his work."
In the "Golden Book" of Munich he
wrote the sentiment: "Supreraa lex
regis voluntas," 'The will of the king
Is the supreme law." In another ad
dress he said: "There Is only one
master la this country. That am. I.
Who oppose roe 1 BhftU crUBh t0
pieces."
The odd thing sbout the divine right
business is that it was Introduced Into
Europe by Alexander the Great as an
instrument of statecraft. Alexander
dreamed of himself at the head of a
world state. While he ws conquer
ing Asia he worked out a plan for the
building of a thousand battleships to
sudbue Italy and Carthage. The Ques
tion was a to the position of the
head of the state. In meeting this
question Alexander took advantage of
the readiness of the Greeks to accept
the will of the gods without feeling
that they were bowing to tyranny. In
Egypt the king was regarded as divine,
the son of the sun god. So Alexander
determined to have himself declared
a god, In order to take advantage of
a god's privilege as head of the state.
So he marched out Into the Sahara
desert, to the shrine of Anion. He
went Into the temple alone, and when
he came out he was greeted by the
high priest of the temple as the Bon
of Zeus-Amon. Word of this was
spread through the ancient world.
As Alexander advanced on his ca
reer of conquest he sought to awe the
conquered people by his divinity.
Everyone who approached him had to
kiss his feet. He was to be included
among the gods of each city and offer
ings were to be made to him.
His Macedonian companions objected
strenuously to his foolishness, but he
carried it through as a matter of state
policy. The glamour of his success
dazzled those who came after him, and
the outcome was that the idea of the
ruler as ruler by divine right was
popularized in Europe.
In Prussia today the tradition of
Alexander still survives.

Part three, the tableau entitled
"The Message," pictures the allies,

Immediately after the pageant, the
Philosophy club will stage the short
tableau, "The Ideal Republics," wheih
will portray Plato's republic, Colum
bia, the city of God, and the war-like
state of Lycurgas. These will be
centered about Hecate, the two-faced
goddess of the parting of the ways
which the club has taken for its em
blem. The setting for the tableau and
the costumes will be Greek.
