Editorial Remarks
"Tho feariess stand of Caspar Whit
noy and his Indifference to hostile
criticism," Is still a topic of discussion
among the disparagers of Nebraska's
football team. Now that some of us
have succeeded In acquiring a vague
Idea as to who Casper Whitney Is.
through the prejudice in which ho Is
fearless in his Btand that he has dis
played, we feel It our bo unden duty to
thank hjm for not cancelling n sched
ule such -as is not surpassed by that
of any team In the west. In hlB fear
less Btand lie has but expressed his
own views which were formed by ac
cepting the testimony of prejudiced
rarties. thus imbibing their prejudice,
in spito of the fact that they failed to
show proofs, which In the eyes of any
fair-minded authority would be neces
sary before he announced iin opinion
Involving such a question .as has been
at iEBiie. He overlooks a charge ex
isting against one Institution, while
pieferrlng the same charge-against an
other, and in so doing he has shown
himself fearlessly prejudiced or Ignor
ant as to tho situation, either of which
showB his incompetency to venture
such an opinion.
In his ranking of teams ho shows
tome oggroglous errors of Judgment,
which aro disputed by authorities on
football all over the country.
For example, Wisconsin is put ten
places ahead of Northwestern, In spite
of the fact that Northwcbtern played
Wisconsin to a standstill. Then too.
Northwestern did not lose a game dur
ing tho wholo season, while Wisconsin
Buffered defeat, which point, though
secondary to tho first, must be taken
into consideration. -
Comparative Bcbres' may not count,
but Northwestern showed herself equal
to Wisconsin in an actual game. Hence,
If a team's standing Is not to be based
upon the showing it has made, then
what is it to bo based upon? Mr. Whit
ney is entirely inconsistent Jn this re
, "gard, and even though "his ranking' is
not based on comparative'scores alone,
but on tho stylo of play, conditions un
der which games were contested, rela
tlvo importance of games on the
schedule, as well as tho season's all
around record of the elevens undor
discussion," he can not pile up enough
technicalities to offset Northwestern's
showing, as she played as consistently
during .the wholo season as did Wis
consin. Wo enter Into" discussion of
this particular case to show where T)
Whitney ia In error, for if he errs In
one Instance ho is -apt to err in oth
ers, whether deliberately or otherwise.
This is not only our own view, but one
held by' authorities ?ho were In as
closo touch with tho game as Mr. Whit
ney, and just as competent to Judge
correctly.
All University people should take
cognizance of the fact that ex-Chancellor
Hrnton will epenk tomorrow at
convocation, and make It a point to
attend He has witnessed and aided the
beginnings of n growth that has at
tained manelous results. His was the
task of laying tho plans and providing
for a future which the passing of time
has brought into an Immodiate present,
from which we look back upon the
stages of advancement of our Univer
sity to the point where the beginnings
are centered. Here we see him stand
ing as the central figure, striving to
lay foundations upon which a lofty su
perstrm turc might be reared.
Twenty-seven years is a long period
of time in the history of an Institu
tion, and especially In ours. Many
changes have occurred, and of those
who wero identified with the early his
tory of our University few now remain.
They are now laboring in other fields
or hae been summoned to rest from
their labors in this world. Yet through
out all this period of rapid changes and
development ex-Chancellor Benton has
never lost sight of his first charge, and
It is n pleasure to us to have him with
us.
o ,
The invitation sent by the authorities
of tho t. Louis fair, urging us to send
a contingent of cadets to share the en
tertainment that will be provided for
military organizations. Is well worth
careful consideration. Other institu
tions will Le represented, and wo could
undoubtedly make a good showing be
side any of them. Of course tho ex-pens-..'
is considerable, but It Is never
theless ery reasonable, taking Into
consideration the accommodations of
fered. It would be much less than
undir many other conditions. Such an
exr-erience as would be afforded the
(adets tor an outing could not be sur
passed, and this fad is well worth
keeping In mind, and we are glad to
see that measures an being taken
here for the necessary investigation as
to whin we can do in regard to the
mat tor.
Palladian Debate.
The Palladian debateis argued the
labor union question last Saturday
evening, which gave rise lo the se
quence of logical statements and an
occasional outburst of spontaneous ora
tory. Alter this spirited debate had i eased
t he regular business was taken up and
a commltUe appointed by President
Smith to select the speakers and make
all necessary arrangements for the an
nual debate with Doano college, which
will probably take place the middle of
next semester.
It is the earnest desire of every
member of tho club to Increase its
membership. We believe that the
debates that are held each Saturday
evening- aro interesting and instruc
ts e and will inculcate in the minds
of tiie people who hear them a desiro
to become familiar with some of the
leading isms. We ""extend to all an
urgent invitation to come and take
part in the parliamentary discussions
and lively debates.
The department of botany has re
