The fact that a portrait of the gov
ernor was distributed with the Journal this week, when the ciy
was full of republicans, is a basis for the suspicion entertained in
some quarters that the governor is not entire ly out of politics. His
address at the university commencement served to emphasize the
suspicion. It is predicted that should there be a prolonged contest
between Majors and MacColl, Grounse will be proposed as a com
promise, in which event there is no telling what might happen.
Professor Herron'a incendiary socialistic address at the commence
ment exercises of the state university Wednesday morning has been
the talk of the week, and Governor Crounse has been heartily con
gratulated for his earnest rebuke to the sensational speaker. We
believe the governor cannot be too strongly commended for his ac
tion. To those who say that his remarks were in bad taste, we
would say that the Herron'e address was much more than a viola
tion of good taste. It was an insult to the intelligence of the stu
dents of the university. Such addresses as that delivered by the
Herron breed populism and socialism, and populism and socialism
breed anarchy.
There is a great deal more good in the world than bad, and wo
are sorry for the man who is unable to find anything to praise. His
intellect is dwarfed. If the Herron really believes that 'here is no
honesty in our courts, that judges and all public officers are rascals
that society is rotten to the core and that the country is on the
verge of irredeemable doom, he is mentally deficient and should be
restrained from inflicting his vagaries on the public. On the other
hand, if he is uttering this bombast for effect, ho is a scamp,
and should be suppresed. Either horn of the dilemma does not
place the Herron in an enviable light.
The remarks made by Chancellor Canfield in introducing the
Herron would indicate that ho was aware of what this man with a
new political vision was going to oxplodo for tho bent-tit of the stu
dents and tho public, in which case the chancellor must bo blamed.
That part of tho public which has a Btrong antipathy for tho vagar
ies of populism and socialism has been very lenient with tho chan
cellor and tho university authorities in their apparent leaning to
ward these things, and recognizing the great efficiency of the work
now being done in the university, is disposed to withhold uli criti
cism. But the Herron address was a littlo too much and tho opin
ion has been expressed in this city that tho dressing down admin
istered by Governor Crounse will have a good effect in checking
thistcndency to populism or socialism, or whatever you may call it-
Somo have remarked that it is proper to hear all sides of a ques
tion, and that therefore, there could be no valid objection to the
llcrron's address. It is proper to hear all sides of a question; but in
the last threo years the speakers selected by tho university have
given us little else. lesides socialism. Washington Gladden, Mr.
Bryan and tho Herron all represent the same tendency, and we have
had too much of this doctrine. The other side should have a chance
The street railway ordinance was disposed of at the special meet
ing of the city council Thursday evening. One lurid contemporary
has had much to say about our "corporation ridden council," and
yet there were only two votes in favor of the ordinance.
If Mayor Weir desires and expects to receive the consideration
due his office and be invited to deliver the address of welcome at
republican and other political conventions held here, he should
train down to the point where he will be able to keep Weirism in the
back ground in making a public address.
It is a dull day in Lincoln when there isn't some new and interest
ing development in the Oliver-Lansing feud.
When a senior of tho University of Nebraska can become a senior
at Yale, and this is to be dono by Mr. Dixon of Nebraska City, it
argues well for the thoroughness of the instruction at the state
university.
