Nebraska has finished the 1924 season in the Missouri Valley confer ence. pood a claim as any other team in the Valley to the year's champion skip. Drake, Missouri and Nebraska have each been beaten once this season. Although the Nebraska percentage may not be as high as that of the other leaders, the Corn huskers demonstrated their power in successive victories over the Kan- sas Jayhawks, the Tigers and the Kansas Aggies. And each game showed the increasing strength of the team. The Daily Nebraskan believes that the Cornhuskers of 1924 are well have been based apon the supposed fact that criminals are almost invari ably of low intelligence. But recent Nebraska men, have shown with a fair degree of conclusiveness that criminals are more likely to be older intellectually than the average. Assuming that these tests are indi cative of the caliber of the average convict, the futility of corporal pun ishment becomes apparent. Most men would say, if they were questioned, that physical punishment, after a certain age at least, could never make them less obdurate. It is ordinarily said that the criminal cannot be rea soned with he only understands bodily pain; but the average man, with whom the criminal seems to be on a level, must be dealt with in the exactly opposite fashion. Even in the face of this startling reversal of the theory of criminal perversion, there may be arguments in favor of corporal punishment. Yet, the whole question is reopened, and abolition of such methods of disci pline should be considered. Whether a newspaper is reporting the words of another, or making a state ment on its own authority, the court have held the paper must accept re sponsibility for the truth of its state ments under the laws of libel. There are, of course, occasions in which the newspapers enjoy what the courts have termed "conditional or qualified privilege," under the pro tection of which they may print ac counts of judicial, legislative, or other public or official proceedings. Even on these privileged occasions the accounts must be fair, accurate, without malicious intent, and must give both sides of the case. Contrary to the popular belief and the common practice of certain cam pus correspondents, the phrase ac cording to Police Officer So and So" does not make the account privileged. Complaints made in a police station and charges made by a police officer are not privileged. A criminal charge made by a public officer it not privi leged, even though that officer be the District Attorney himself, unless il; is a part of a proceeding that is both public and official.

Ten rules that should be observed by every man who wants material success were recently propounded by an easterner who is prominent as a financier, an art patron and a public man. Successful men have always been fond of laving down rules to ide young men to success. Usually They are broad generalities that mean nothing. The latest ten rules are: 1. ICemember that every task, no I matter now trivial it may seem, is an important one for the young man getting on in the world. 2. Remember that the most serv iceable of all assets is reputation. 3. Think. Exercise' the spring of your brain. 4. Go for a ride on the horse of your imagination from time to time. 5. Be read', be fully prepared, be patient. 6. Be neighborly; be a good sport 7. Work hard; don't spare your self, but don't become a machine. 8. Taken an interest and due share in public affairs. 9. Meet your fellow men with con fidence. 10. Avoid ostentation. The first two of these rules are excellent Almost any young man has experienced their working, suc cessfully or otherwise. "Learn how to think" is the cry of all successful men. Thinking is not a process that can be learned, and most of these successful men re alize that truth vaguely. It is pos sible to apply set form of reasoning to a particular class of problems, but the problems of business world are sever exactly duplicated. The other six rules sound some vchtt like Kipling's plus and minus list of the proper attributes of a man their sum is zero. "Work bard" but "don't become a machine.' Where is the dividing line? What is a due share in public affairs? What is "fully prepared?" How long should the young man be patient? How far should he trust others? Until someone who has succeded presents a definite list of rules that do not contradict themselves it will be the winest thing for young men to scheme deliberately for rapid pro motion and admit that luck is the all important element in "success."

A movement in Texas was recently reported working toward petitioning the legislature to abolish all corporal punishment in the state's prison sys tem. Recently the "dark cell" was done away with at the Texas peni tentiary, and there has been a corres ponding increase in flogging. A somewhat barbarous form of punish ment, called the "horse,' was abol ished only two months ago on the ad vice of physicians.
