Affair Thoroughly Enjoyed by All.Strong List of Toasts. The Y. M. C. A. gave its annual ban quet last night to the members of that association In the university armory. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, a large and representative crowd was present, plates for one hun dred having been laid. The banquet was pronounced by tHose present to have been the most successful ode which has been given for some time. The fact that it was held In the armory seemed to make it a still more univer sity like affair than it would otherwise have been. About 7 o'clock the members seated themselves to the long tables, which had been tastily decorated and ar ranged in the armory. The persons present were a thoroughly representa tive crowd of university people. The banqueters were all in a happy mood, singing together a number of familiar songs and giving the university yell at no distant intervals. The Y. M. C. A. glee club favored the crowd with a number of its best selections, which wore well received. A. Ross Hill as toastmaster called for a number of toasts. Chancellor An drews spoke on the "Relation of God to Man jand the Secret of Future Success." Secretary Bailey, of Omaha gave an interesting talk on the place which the association holds in the university. The other speakers of the evening were D. E. Thomas, H. B. Ward and J. D. Ringer. All took up different phases of the Y. M. C. A. and its relation to the university. The following menu was served by downtown caterers. Escaloped OyBters, Cold Boiled Tongue. Cold Boiled Beef.

Chapel exercises Tuesday morning were conducted by Rev. W. C. Wil liams, after which Chancellor An drews Introduced Hon. C. O. Whedon of this city, who spoke on- "Needed Anarchistic Legislation." In introducing his subject Mr. Whe don mentioned the fact that during re cent years anarchists from all parts of the world have takon advantage of pre vailing circumstances and have made a city of the United States their headr quarters. Anarchy Is antipathetic, and the opposite of all government on the part of the state. Mr. Whedon spent most of the short time alloted him in discussing the principles of the most prominent an archists of the time. Right, they be lieve to be the power of might, and laws are not to be obeyed unless they appeal to the anarchist in the way in which he believes to be right. THREE ISSUES The Nebraskan announces that temporarily issues will be published only three days In the week. This course is made necessary because of lack of support on the part of advertisers, principally. The large firms, whose patronage of college publications heretofore has been generous, have this year been represented among tne advertisers either not at all or very little. Tne subscription patronage has been, on the whole, good. However, nearly one-half of those who have been receiving the paper reg ularly have failed as yet to pay their subscription bills. These facts have determined the board of directors upon the course here announced. It Is possible that daily issues will be soon resumed. Such issues will be re sumed as soon as tho support received from advertisers and subscribers will justify It. For the present there will be Issues on Mondays, Wednes days and Fridays. THE HESPERIAN PUBLISHING CO. By the Board of Directors, J. W. CRABTREE, President. GEO. L. TOWNE, Secretary. J. I. WYER, T. J. HEWITT. Anarchism is an egotistical right, and help can only come to the masses through egotlBm. It Is one of tho moqt essential facts that the poor will al ways wish to have more, and It is not money that does the harm, but lack of power to take It. A prevailing system of anarchy, says Mr. Whedon, means the complete abo lition of classes. The liberty of man consists in that he obeys the laws of nature, and a change in our present system of government could only end in a civil war. The anarchiBts of today do not op pose organized society, but socloty as now organized, and believe in (1) the liberation of the producer, (2) tho free dom Of. tVe government, and (3) libera tion from religion. They act on the principle of Do what pleases jrou, and act as you think best. Human experience, said Mr. Whedon, teaches that those who commit crime are those who have thrown off the fetters of custom. The hopeful side of the situation is that moral degenerates are the excep tion and not the rule. Under the teachings of Christ humanity has ad vanced. Everything belongs to all, and anyone can take what he can. PRACTICE IN DUST Baseball Team Puts up Snappy Work, in Spite of tho Bad Weather. Now Man for tho Box Shows Up Well. In spite of the wind and dust which prevailed yesterday afternoon, the baseball mon put up a snappy and vig orous practice. Under the direction of Koohler, captain of the pcrubs, the, men who meet at 1:30 wont through prac tically the same practice that tho first team undergoes. Tho number of scrubs who practice regularly has dwindled down to about twenty, but there has been a great im provement in their work during the last few days. From prosent proBpocts It is quite probablo that Captain Kooh ler Will be able to put out a team that A WEEK ONLY. will prove a formidable antagonist to the first team. Another new man was added to the first squad yesterday. Leatherby, a pitcher of some reputation, will try for honors In tho box. The practipo yesterday gave him no opportunity to show his ability, as the men did noth ing but catch the ball. Fifteen men now meet for regular practice at 3:30. Hood did not shaw up yesterday, but his place on third was vory creditably filled by Bender. There will be only two mqre days of practice before the Easter holidays, but active work will be again begun next Tuesday.
