Jill Kinds oi Opinions on the
The Charge of the Shirt- Tail Parade
Ainu! for the night of tho Cnrnlvnl
raid!
Alas! for tho fate of tho Shlit Tall
Hrlgadc!
Alack! for tho warriors who faltered
nnd fled!
All hnll to the heroes who battled and
bled!
How proudly we gazed on that Hheeted
array
Ar II Hwepl toward the barricade, keen
for the fray;
With a Greek-letter battery leading the
van
Amid soul-stirring yells fiom ea fi
stern student clan.
Ah! little we dreamed of the snaie
that wiih sot,
Of the copH and the pimps who sur
rounded the net.
Till the hired banditti who make mur
der n trade
Swooped down like a storm oil the
Shirt Tall brigade.
Oh! long be remembered the conflict so
dread;
The heads that were broken, the blood
that was shed;
Long, long shall the campuR the story
relate
Of the terrible slaughter at Carnival
Gate.
There Sir Knight DeLaocy was
wounded and ta'en;
There allant Sir Huntington stretched
on the plain;
There Corporal Johnson with hands
gory i ed
Stood fighting, bui founded by ranks of
the dead.
Thoie aie tears falling fast at Sorority
Hall.
For faces found missing at morning
roll-call;
Hut never from History's pages shall
fade
The grim, goy fame of the Shirt Tall
Hrlgade. N.

Mr. Editor:
Will you kindly publish the follow
ing? Your paper has had your say;
now let the student body have Its say
also.
We were somewhat surprised at the
sentiment expressed In the editorial,
In Friday's Issue or The Nobraskan.
That the celebration of Wednesday
evening should be likened to rowdy
ism Is indeed strange The editor cer
tainly knows little of the proceedings
and we should beg to Inform him more
fully.
The "shlit tall " parade is an anci
ent custom in the University, and has
become traditional. Seldom ever has

Tor aches that nothing i
else will reach
There are a good many aches
and pains and cases of deep
seated muscular soreness that
will not yield to any ordinary
external or Internal remedy.
These are ruses where a plaster
Is effective, and no plaster Is
quite so effective as the one
which we call the
Hiogs' Belladona and
Capsicum Plaster
These plasters cure back ache,
rheumatic or neuralgic pains,
JL lumbago. etc. IlesultB are
prompt and relief Is sure. We
guarantee them and will gladly
refund the money If they fall to
give perfect satisfaction. We
X have, too, the best Liniment ever
sold good for man, beast or
birds ("Eagles excepted").

unpleasantness been the result. Fights,
rows, etc.. have always been mused
by Interference of some one looking
for double. A better natured, ralror
minded, bigger hcaited ( rowd of men
cannot be found than the "shirt tail
eis." They are always open to an ap
peal to reason, and If left alone will
do no one harm, either physical, or
by destitution of proper!; but It
sometimes happens that our 'most he
roic" police have a thirst for blood
On such occasions it generally nins
We remember hearing of such an oe
cuirence some three or four years ago
After (he battle was over at least one
policeman took a "lay off" and for a
Uru nt least had no stomach for bat
tle. Last Wednesday evening the parad
eis man bed about the streets for a
time, giving I'nlvoislty yells. We be
lieve theie Is no law prohibiting such
conduit Then they man bed down to
the larnival grounds, asked permis
sion to enter, promising to bear them
selves in a gentlemanly manner, give
the 'varsity yells, and retlie. A string
of ooths was their answer. What fol
lowed Is characteristic of the Lincoln
police force. It Is said that one hun
dred extra police were bworn in for
the occasion. They were chosen from
the very worst element of the city.
Knave h. thugs. Jail-birds, escaped con
victs, and cutthroats could be no
worse. Their conduct. In its brutality,
could not be outdone by a French mob
of anarchists. The students Wore not
merely knocked clown, but beaten
shamefully. The conduit of the so
called defenders of "law and order"
was so shameful that the entire citi
zen body were In sympathy with the
students A great many gentlemen of
all ages and conditions actually offered
their services in attai king the police,
if the students would organize and
arm themselves with clubs In several
cases gentlemen from the crowd of by
standers Interfered There Is at least
one case on record In which three or
four "i hampioijs of law and order"
set upon one student and boat hire
shamefully. A gray-haired gentleman
Interfered, saving the fellow's life.
Was It merely to maintain law and
order that these blows were dealt? If
so, why should such extreme brutality
be exercised? We believe that only
reasonable and sufficient force is gen
erally used in dealing with oven the
worst of criminals. In this particular
case defenseless men were shamefully
beaten upon the head In their retreat.
Once knocked off their feet, they were
pounded to a state of unconsciousness.
That lives wore not lobt Is more good
fortune. Was it necessary to pursue
tho retreating band and add to the
t number of those already Injured? Was
It not meie malice or brutal lubt for
blood that leu them on?
You accuse the student body of
coarseness and brutality. On what
grounds do you base such charges?
You certainly have confused your
terms.
When the majority of the citizens
and the entire student body censures
the conduit of the police so strongly,
there is certainly good grounds for the
attitude taken.
We have noticed this peculiar char
acteristic of the Lincoln police force:
their absolute inefficiency. Three train
robberies have occurred almost within
the limits of the city In the last three
years. There Is little doubt that the
expeditions started from this city; yet
not a trace of the robbers has ever
been found. iJist summer a murder
occurred on South Seventeenth street.
Not a clew of the criminals ever came
to light. Something is wrong. Iet
the chlef-of-pollce "take a brace," and
turn the energies of the force toward
something worth while. let them
crush crime. Let them maintain law
and order when it is in danger, rather
than stir up trouble among the stu
dents of the University. J. A. W.
Will Be Good.
A wave of Moral Reform has swept
the University. Five hundred and
forty-nine male students of the Uni
versity of Nebraska met on the ath
letic field yesterday afternoon and,
with but one dissenting voice, voted to

be good. It was voted that tho car
nival was not a proper show for a Uni
versity student to patronize. Smoking,
poker, gambling in every form are
not to bo tolerated. It was albo de
cided to attend church services twice
every Sunday, join a Sunday school
class, and attend the Y. M. C A. It
was further voted to devote at least
two hours to the preparation of each
lesson and not to "out" any lecture;
also to attend all convocation exor
cises, and not to read the morning
papers while the chaplain roads the
scriptures and Invokes tho Divine
blessing.
Hereafter, when Chancellor An
drews lays his weary head upon his
nightly pillow, it will bo with the
thought that his "boys" have their les
sons all well learned, have said their
"Now I lay me," and are peacefully
sleeping the sjecp of the good and true,
each in his own little bed.
It is difficult to account for this
sudden change of heart. It may be due
to the fact that sneak day has passed,
class scraps aie over, the millenium
Is dawning, or that summer vacation
Us only two weeks away, and the boys
are going home to their mammas; or
It may be clue to the beneficent effect of
the carnival.
