The cry goes around the campus twice a year or three times if an election is thrown out on account of "dirty politics". Last year the cry was stronger than ever and the Student Council took elaborate precautions. A clean election seemed inevitable. The Daily Nebraskan came out with a picture of the crowded polls, and the re port of a record election. But, rumor has it, even that election was not with out its extra ballots nor as free from party manage ment cs could be wished. This was not the fault of Mr. Buck, then president of the Council. One hundred per cent cooperation was necessary. One hundred per cent cooperation, apparently was not to be had. Probably the "clean" elections of the past were not conducive to fair supervision by the Council members so elected. Now rumor is about again. She whispers that two faculty members will stand guard behind the booths on election day next Tuesday. This can only be brought about by an act of the StudVnt Council, but recognition and admission by that body that it wishes a clean election is the first step towards procuring one. Mr. Jensen, president of the Council this year, is bending every effort to bring about a clean election. He can not do it alone. Nor can he, judging from the past, intrust the job to his fellow council members and rest assured that what the Council professes to desire as a whole will not be violated by individual members when the opportunity arises. Faculty supervision of student elections is not the ideal situation, but a clean election under faculty supervision is preferable to auuLuer kind under student management. A COMMON BASIS Considerable comment has come to this office about the editorial, "Just Decisions", which appeared in yesterday's Daily Nebraskan. In it the question of publication and athletic eligibility were discussed, and recent actions causing the dismissal of the editor of the Cornhusker were commente.d upon. This editorial, however, was not intended to of fend the persons who caused the dismissal. Only one grievance was held against them, that being the lack of a definite rule which would decide without question the matter of eligibility, as is done with athletes. No other comment was intentionally meant against this action. The steps taken were fair, and the incident, although regrettable, will result in a finer cooperation between the students and the authorities. That the au thorities did wrong in making the decision or that they knew of the ineligibility of the Editor of the Cornhus ker at the time of his appointment is not now ques tioned. The difficulties did not arise until some time after the appointment was made. With this situation as an example, students inter ested in publications and other activities will have def inite eligibility rules to follow. When a student files for any office from now on he must remember that his scholastic requirements are the same as those of the athlete. If he is unable to ir.eet them while in of fice, his fate will be identical to that of the football player who is kept from the big game. NO SPECIAL TO MISSOURI? Telephone calls pour into the offices of The Daily Nebraskan every afternoon asking why there is no special train to Missouri this week-end. - Students on the campus seem to wonder, but no one knows just why a train could not be chartered. There are two very good reasons. First, no railroad goes directly to Columbia, Mis souri; so it is necessary to make negotiations with two systems for a special. When this complicated program was attempted it was found that the railroads would not consider the trip profitable unless a large number of students (twice as many as are going now) could be promised for the trip. No organization would defin itely guarantee as large an attendance as this for such s long trip. If the requirement had not been so strin gent some campus organization would have sponsored the special train. So, in the first place, the program was considered impossible financially. Another reason stood in the way. Suet a trip could have been made successful if every student at tending had promised to ride on the train, but the roads to Columbia are excellent, and consequently the major ity of students prefer to drive down. A lirge Nebraska gathering at the game Saturday is necessary. At present prospects look fairly good foi a rooting section. But in the absence of a special train, student are urged to drive to the game and help to make the Nebraska rooting section a "noisy" place, which the Cornhusker eleven will notice when they run out on ine Missouri stadium field Saturday. In Olher Columns Students who attend this institution perhaps do not realize the importance of the state which supports it. Here are a few important facts taken from a recent editorial in the Omaha World-Herald: Meaty Facts About Nebravaka. . Nebraskans may well be proud. Sixty years ago this state was admitted to the union. Ita raw hills and valleys have become agricultural won ders. Its total wealth, is now $5,500,000,000, an av erage of four thousand dollars per capita. The total state income amounts to 719 million dollars per year. Of the total population 47 per cent live on farms. It is now erecting a nine million dollar state canitol. During the past three years three thousand miles of permanent highways have been construc ted, and extensive contracts awarded for many more miles. The combined value of live stock and crops amounts to $569,877,390. The state ranks first in cattle per farm, the annual beef production amounting to 1,400,000,000 pounds. It has the largest horse market in the world. The annual surplus of pork amounts to 1,332, 632,894 pounds. The yearly value of milk produced on the farm amounts to $43,340,000. .The value of poultry raised in the state amounts to 32 million dollars annually. During the past five years the corn crop has averaged 218,107,000 bushels, of which about 80 per cent is fed to live stock on the farms and in feed yards. Over three million tons of alfalfa is raised for the market each year, which brings the agricul turists between 35 and 40 million dollars. Sugar beet sales amount to about five million dollars per year, from which is mauufactured an annual surplus of 80 million pounds of sugar. An additional outstanding fact about Nebras ka is that it has no bonded indebtedness, and can not have any, except 100 thousand dollars for emergency. World-Herald. Notices X H C SPECTATOR I have observed, how that when a Delusion or Mis apprehension is once conceived (or, if you wish, not conceived), it is likely to propagate itself to the Point that Men accept it as truth without applying to it the Test of Reason. This is probably the origin of all our Religions and much of our Philosophy, though I hesi tate to say so for the Reason that I am not sure just what Religion is. But at any rate, I hasten to explain that the Cause of this Train of Thought is a certain Letter which appeared in the Daily Nebraskan of yes terday. Since my Readers are most likely to be those interested in College Affairs, and those mentally alert, they probably read the Letter in Question, a commun ication signed by L. M. M. which purposed to discuss this Column. I quote: "It is too absurd for words to think for a moment that he (the Spectator) has any idea of service driving him onward to ch unflagging labors." Now this is the Sentence which caused me to speculate upon the Human Susceptibility to Delusion and Mis apprehension. One can see clearly that L. M. M. enter tains a mistaken Idea of my Purpose and Ideals, and I remark that I myself had never harbored the Suspicion that I was giving Grounds for any such erroneous Con clusions as he has drawn. And indeed, it was only the other Day, when I was perusing the columns of this Newspaper, that I ran across a statement by the Sec retary of the esteemed Young Men's Christian Associa tion; this Statement, I say, instilled in me the Desire to do Good, created in my Soul the Hunger for Service, and furnished the Basis for my Writings in the Ne braskan. I quote the Christian Secretary's words: "Not only should we do things for ourselves, but also for others. It brings out our personality." This, then, is the Golden Ideal for which I write, and none other. L. M. M. appears to think that I write for fun. I would say to you, Mr. L. M. M., would you consider it Fun to be harried by a Mr. Haliam, who demands in the interest of truth and justice that I discontinue my Column? Would you term it Fun to make yourself a Martyr to the End that the Campus might be uplifted? Ah; it is only the Vision of Service that compels me to con tinue my Column. As my last Proof that no mean Desire for Amuse ment is the Ground for this Column, I submit to Mr. L. M. M. that only those who are having Fun give the Appearance of Solemnity; and if Mr. L. M. M. will call 'round at the Office he will find me a Man of jocu lar Disposition. I say it is the solemn Man who hai the Fun in this Life, and as a Concrete Instance of this I refer my Readers to the Editor of the Awgwan, a Campus Publication listed in the Directories as "hu morous magazine." Now this Editor sits at his Desk day in and day out with hardly a Smile crossing his Countenance, for I have visited him on several occas ions and have always found him in a Solemn State. Perhaps I should add that this Editor is at this Point in a state of Frenzy that borders on the Hysterical, for his Publication is to come off the Press within a very few Days, and what with the Anxiety as to how the Public will receive him, and the Worries as to when he ran get enough Humorous Copy to fill up the rages, the Editor is in a bad way. For the benefit of my Readers I note that I am to have a ."clever Ru mination," as the Daily Nebraskan called it in the forthcoming Awgwan. And I take Occasion to warn my Readers tnat they have been misled, for there is not a Clever Line in my Column. I have had Cause to suspect, in this matter of Publications, that the Campus will soon be thrown into peculiar Situation as regards Material for Thoneht For not only is the Awgwan to be published soon; but The Prairie Schooner has threatened to come oft the Press within ft few Days too, so with all thia Intellec tual Stimulation on the Campus I suspect there may mime isiuicujties witnin the Student Body, be same Difficulties within the Student Body.

A girl concealed in the box car gives the action of the play an additional twist, and furnishes added impetus when the action of thc comedy shifts to a small town. A prize fight robbery, and an elopement help tangle up matters into what seems to be a hopeless state, when the "Deacon" arrives, and with his ludicrous actions and keen wit, manages to extricate the heroine and her lover from their dif ficulties, besides clearing up all other complications.
