Since there BeemH to bo tho general opinion that tho university should have a fountain on the campus, some wealthy alumnus could show his loyal ty to IiIb nlma mater In no better way than by donating one. What Is the matter with track ath letics? There Is plenty of material In tho university but not enough spirit and enthusiasm to bring It out. Ne braska ought to have a winning team this year. The only big game of the basket-ball season which will be played on the homo iloor will occur tonight and therefore no student can afford to miss it. The game last night at the audi torium showed that the visitors aro no novices at the game. While tho 'varsity team expe ts to win, it never theless needs jour presence. There is a time and place for all things, so it is said. In the same way student enthusiasm In any particular line should not allow itself to over How except where it will do most good. At times it may be carried bo far as to cause disgust, rather than Interest in that which it is meant to discourage. A. S. Pearse has resigned his posi tion as commandant of the Omaha high school cadets. A "Celebrities Ball' was recently held at Michigan university at which all tho students who had gained some recognition while In collego were pres ent. It was a gathering of those who had risen to Btations of honor In every line of university activity. This is an innovation in tho line of university social functions. Inasmuch as Ne braska has boundless resources In 'the matter of "celebrities," it might be well for this Institution to do something similar. A meeting of all the "great student Intellects" now in the univer sity would be one which might result In much pleasure. COMMUNICATION. Lincoln's Saloon Question From a Student's Standpoint.

Higher educational In stitutions aro generally established In small communities and thus avoid the unfavorable Influences of large cities. The merits of any town or city giving higher educational advantages should at least have tho one Important factor It should be morally clean. The standards of morality should bo above tho average; If they aro not, they should at least be guarded by laws which will be conducive to the desired end. Lincoln's politicians, at present, aro considering tho saloon proposition, and every business man who has tho success of an enterprise at heart is considering it. Every religious de nomination has the "saloon question" before its people. These three general classes of citizens are coming to one of two views: oither that "tho saloon is a necessary evil," or that It should bo done away with. Tho reasons for supporting either of these two views need not be enumerated. But there is the political Influence; there Is the liquor dealers' anT consumers' point of view, and there Is the home pro tectors' point of view, or better known, tho moral influence standpoint, no two of which work together harmoni ously or tend to bring about, the same result. If the consumer and non-consumer were to settle the matter, as two opposing sides, tho question would at once present a different aspect. Tho only rational stand, however, for or against tho saloon can be that for principle. The man contending for party views in a question of morality should be discountenanced. The man who contends upon the public forum that saloons should be maintained sole ly for financial support should be hissed by a higher public sentiment. The influence upon the moral stand ards of a community is tho vital point which concerns every citizen who de sires a pure social atmosphere. What ever debases the Intellect or stands as a barrier to moral Influences cannot be for the social welfare of any people. The man who argues for clean munic ipal government and a ( ity of good repute barters legitimate means by fa voring what does not Contribute to that end. In the present liquor question before the voters of Lincoln it appears that the moral influence phase is not figur ing as greatly as might be expected. It Is reported that the representative business men are taking the stand of the high license remedy, for the two fold means of suppressing an evil on one hand and of increasing tax receipts on the other. This method we recog nize is the policy which allows the open saloon today. The saloon question is one that should vitally concern every student and paU:on of the university. The prosperity of the school depends large ly upon the moral atmosphero sur tlons. A demonstration from the stu 'rounding it. The patrons throughout tho state look first to this. The stu dent coming into our midst expects more or less an ldeq,l state of condi dent body of the university against the open saloon may reasonably be ex pected. Tho student, professor or sup porter of tho university who looks in differently upon tho liquor question which threatens the welfare of the In stitution disregards his best Interests. What kind of moral education may tho student expect of tho citizens of Lincoln. Is tho student's point of view to bo considered? ROBT. A. HARRISON. Goods House SYDLES CYCLE CO.
