OUR OPINION.
The Omaha World-Herald has been
endeavoring to enlist tho newspapers
of the state In the campaign It la
making against the Temple Fund, hav
ing assailed their conimon-senBe and
Individuality with tho following mis
leading question: "Shall a memorial
to John D. Rockefeller bo erected upon
tho campus of tho Nebraska State Uni
versity?" In the same mendacious
manner It solicits tho opinions of Its
hired correspondents throughout tho
state, whom It represents to be pure!
unbiased patties. In order to bolstci
up Its unholy assault It has resorted
to tho practice of begging opinions,
hoping to stir up tho more virulent
and easily Influenced of the country
preEs Into favoring it with opinions
that can bo used for publication and
to fill up space and appear under a
heading. Now It exhorts Kb own cor
respondents to make a superficial can
vass and send In as favorable reports
as possible from their various towns,
trusting that they will strive to please.
Considering the class that a man puts
himself in In agreeing to become a
World-Horald correspondent It Is
quite likely that the "opinions" sent
in will bo suitable to its purpose.
This query of tho World-Herald re
solves itself lntq such meanings as
theso:
"Will you kindly lend your efforts
to furthering tho anarchistic attempts
of a partisan sheet seeking notoriety
and the approbation, of those of its per
suasion. Will you please serve as the
tall to our kite In order that we may
use you and any favorable opinion that
you can favor us with? We merely de
sire an expression of purported opln
Ion., whether you are concerned or not.
Wo have an axe to grind, and you can
bo of Invaluable service to us, as wo
will take tho credit for soliciting your
opinion as well as Uiobo of other sub
sidized publications who like yourseir
have no mind or character of their
own."
Such methods are entirely consist
ent with tho World-Herald's attltudo
all along and are characteristic of
that newspaper.
Although tho World-Herald has not
insulted us by asking our opinion con
cerning Its infamous course in respect
to tho Temple Fund, we are willing to
grant tho favor of our own accord. In
the first place tho World-Herald does
not state tho question In an unpreju
diced manner, and thus shows that it
is actuated by selfish interests. It has
expressed some opinions regarding, free
speeeh, but It certainly does not live
up to its own doctrine when it does
not give tho other side a fair show In
the statement of the question at Issue.
Tb- ve,ry wording of the question Is
enough to dlsguBt any editor who Is
alive to the situation and who has any
censo of Individuality and propriety.
We welcome tho opportunity for
having nt our disposal a magnificent
new building that will servo so many
useful puipoBes, and our faculty, stu
dents, alumni and tho friends of tho
Unlveislty are willing lo put forth tho
necessary effoits to bring It within
our grasp We all ap,)ieclate tho work
of Chancellor Andrews, who has de
voted his noblest , efforts and great
executive aibllity In making our Uni
versity one of the greatest Institutions
In tho west. We deprecate the con
temptlblo methods employed by the
World-Herald, and will ceitalnly not
allow ourselves to bo swerved from
our purpose by Its misleading yellow
ness and contorted logic. Wo are not
misled by Its sanctimonious rabidnoss
and Its habit of appealing to all that
Is good and true In Its spirit of feigned
righteous indignation.
Tho World-Herald regards with Ir
dlfferonce the custom of many wealthy
men who spend large Fmg gambling
and betting on the horse races, but
when It comes to contributing to
schools and churches, it flares up in
angry Indignation. Instead of striking
at real, existing evils. It Imposes upon
contingencies that are decent and Just,
with a purpose to deceive and misrep
resent. Such methods arc dangerous
to society, and an abuse of the power
of tho press. There is no cxageratlon
in this. The World-Herald has amply
sustained Its past leputation In its
altitude toward the temple fund.
The temple building is a certainty
We are within easy distance of the
goal. We have reason to congratulate
ourselves upon the piospert of soon
having a building that will provide
quarters for our Christian assoc la
tions, litei ary societies and eoclal bodies
and relieve many of our congested de
partments. The olTotts that the World
Herald may put forth will avail noth
ing and we advise it to return toita
former methods of seeking advertising
