The platform stands for no vital pr-incipal that will give the people a fair opportunity in settling the ques tions that are dominating the na tion today and which will continue to grow more pressing. Drawn with the purpose of securing votes re gardless of principles, the platform is a fitting declaration of the record made by the last republican congress which in its session lasting over one ! year failed to enact a single law for the settlement of the questions of re construction and whose record on t he profiteering settlement is minus. The platform declares in eighteen words that the president should have enforced laws hut signally fails to point out any adequate Ii.- Lit ion j that the republican congress passed for the punishment of the profiteers and as a fact, they failed signally to j enact any such laws and blcckcd in every way the efforts of the execu- live department of the government. The plank on the peace treaty and the league of nations is a meaning-1 icss jumuie 01 empty pn rases, so joined as to placate the different el tments of the republican senatorial majority who hav? been milling around with this qi.estion for the past year. The only direct declarations made by the Chicago platform was that of the opposition to President Wilson and the willing desire to lead in the looting of the resources of Mexico, that theN large corporations and trusts might enrich themselves at the cost of the poor unfortunates of that war swept republic. On the labor legislation and sol diers relief the platform also is as evasive as it would be possible to be but in the empty platitudes on the soldier relief can be read the oppo sition of the old guard senators to anything that might threaten the taxing of war profits or the sacred stock exchange of Wall street, where the platform seems to find its inspir ation. Truly on such a platform the last work in reactionary doctrine the party has done well to choose the leader of the standpat senators, to come before the country as a can didate for president. Truly the party of Lincoln has wandered afar from the lofty prin cipals that gave it birth and lost the clearness of vision that they had in the past the only motive of the party at present seems to be the de sire to win the public patronage re gardless of whether the people are given justice or not. :o: HORSES FOR SALE Three head of horses, 5, ii, anil 7 years old, broke to drive.

THE FUTURE OF NEBRASKA UNIVERSITY In presenting a definite program of development for Nebraska univer sitv. the alumni, the chancellor and the regents have.taken the first and most important step toward insuring the proper growth of what will al ways be the most important educa tional influence in the state.. ohraska in the Dast has main tained itsxstanding among universi ties of the nation in spite of, and not because of the physical proper ties with which the state has en dowed it. It has maintained its place by virtue of the loyalty of its faculty members and the love of its students and alumni. Cramped for room, burdened with an unsightly campus pinched in finances, although it represents the truest investment for the future. Nebraska university has never had an intellgient pro gram, never had a comprehensive ideal, around which it might group its ambitions and toward which it might grow. Now the alumni have presented an' adequate plan for the development of the university. The plan embraces the securing of adequate campus space, to include the present city campus: and the program contem plates the development of the physi cal plant along lines that will even tually make the university a source of pride, and not a cause for apology, by the people of the state. The university has needed the guidance of vision to make the high est returns to the state. Vision has dictated the drawing of the plans for adequate instructional buildings, for free air spaces for the athletic devel opment of all the students; for the lecture halls, the auditoriums, the laboratories', the dormitories, the li brary and the state auditorium that must come, in the future. The for mulating of the program is not only a clarion call to the former students of the university, who love it so much, and who' feel so deeply its needs. It is as much a summons to the whole state, to every man and woman in the state, for in its uni versity. Nebraska will ever find the surest source of inspiration for its youth, and the best means of express ing the community thought and ideal of the whole state. It must be continually impressed upon the people of Nebraska that they cannot give too much thought tr the development of the university. It must be constantly emphasized that prompt attention nnm be given to the immediate needs of xpansion. with an ever watchful eye to the fu ture. The plan must be asserted again and yet again, until it will be come not merely a project, but a pur pose; not only a hope, but a reality. This will come when the whole stat-j appreciates tne work the uni versity is doing, the leadership it is furnishing, the idealism it is keeping alive, as well as the practical wisdom for living that it is inculcating into the student who passes its portals. -Fremont Herald. -:o:- it i i : ic or m:itix; Petition for iiiiiiliiirii( of . d ml ii in( rii t or State of Nebraska, Cass coun- Tli.
