Kitoictl nt the post olllee at L'ncnln, Neli

IL has oflc:: been questioned wliy
It is that a city ordinance prohibi
ting tho riding of bicycles upon tlio
side walks Is not, from tho moral
point of view, as applicable within
die university fence as it Is without
It is very true that tho walks are
tho only means ol access to tho vari
ous quarters of tho campus ul. since
thoso must bo used by pedestrians
also, there is valid reason for piolii
blting blcycie tiding upon them.
Cureless ridets are ineideco upon
these walks as well as upon those
through tho city, and the possibilll
ol aicldints Is almost as great.
Tlio recent "roast'' administered to
the Daily by its esteemed contem
porary, tho Ai rowhead, has brought
to the editor a number of "dltorl.'.K
in reply trm poisons not connected
in any w.iy with the uapcr. For the
must part theseare too ituporat ie
to publish. The Dally has no
quarrel to pic!: with ainone The
article in question was animated by
personal toolings and nothing else,
.lust how "representative' a sheet
may bo that will ueiinil personal
feelings to emp out in tills way is
left to the student body to decide
The Daily d ies not tool the slmht
est tremoi ol fear at such narrow
criticisms even limn the pen 0 the
selfslled Mighty Ones. The paper
has not et reached the ideal )T its
oil tors by any means. In pait
ibis Is due- without doubt, to the
shoitc linings of tin so behind it.
In a groat measure, howovei. it is
tho result or the lack in Lincoln just
it present of suitable facilities Tor
urlnting a Daily eolloiie puncr.
Whether or not the Daily Is represen
tative or not will bo lolt to Its read

Lewis Morrison's "Kaust" has

other words fl vo thousand perfor
mances havo been "given of this
classic play. This jeer's production
of Morrison's version of this play is
tlio most olahorato in costumes,
scenery, electrical effects, vocal and

As soon as the Spanish Armiitaiu
had secured then intlepentlent e they
promptly turned their attention to tho
canal question In 182f the young He
pupblic of Central America notitied tho
t'niied States that an uieiican 1 t)rn
pany was icatly to undertake the ton
stiuition of the Nit magna canal, and
urged the lorulusion of a tie.it to
promote the scheme The Intel -oceanic
canal question was one of the chief
subjects of tlrst u.-ision in the Panama
longiefc-H of 182(i At that time tho Re
public of Central rnerica had entered
into a eontiact with the .sanguine
Auiiilican corjLUany, the forerunner of
so many others The coinpan agreed
to begin work within twelve months,
if possible, but at any rato, within six
months afterward. That was Just
three-quarters of a century ago, and
tho canal Is still patiently waiting.
Hut now that I'nele Sam has taken
hold of the undertaking things will
probably begin to move.
