It is wonderful how Intensely loynl sciro ol our great dully newspapers oft on Ix'conr.e. Their zeal In taking of-f-jnbo at a ellfeht cast upon somo great national figure, Is so great that it of ten loads thorn Into an exercise of the Imagination, so that they are able to detect such si! hts where nono are In tended or cvch oxlst Thus It 1b that wo nro informed that Chancellor An drews called Abraham Lincoln a boor In an article- In Success. Anyone who road the article through wouldi upon sober-minded reflection hesitate to as port that such n statement was made 1 herein, nut why are not these papers v illlng to bo exact? Why do they not Ftato that Chancellor Andrews said that Abraham Lincoln would have been less of a boor if he had had college training, audi then let the people draw the inference, if any can reasonably be drawn? They bIiow too gront a will ingness t find Chancellor Andrews at fault, and prefer to interpret what ho says to suit thomselves. One thing is certain. No paper has ever shown conclusively that Chancellor Andrews has said oxpllclty that Lincoln was a booj and the statements alleging that lie did must be taken with a certain amount of reserve. Any loyal citizen would be quick lrr-resenting a slight cast upou Abraham Lincoln, and we do not believe that anyone would bo any more prompt in so doing than Chan cellor Andrews, for he fought under him and was wounded during the war and served three years under him In a personal capacity. The second' Junior theme is now duo. and the asking of extensions is now in order. Most students find it difficult to- pick out some certain time for con centrating theli efforts in evolving a production U.at they are willing to allow to pass nsthelr best, when a time limit extending over several months is ullowod'. This is especially difficult for the busy student who has practically the whole of hisi timo speciaflcally taken up. Yet there is no truer test of the progress that a student has made in college and of the Increase in men tal capacity than the writing of such themes. Everyone who alms to ac qulro a good education should seek first of all to become prolific in expressing himself, as well as in forming new ideas and to cultivate a stylo that is peculiarly hlB own. A person may copy after another, but at the best ho can only bo an imitator, and if he follows too closely, his own stamp of Individ uality will bo lost In tho attempt to assume ono belonging to someone else. The English courses here are Intended to give tho student a knowledge of the MtlfcMr-la-Chlf Mteaat llanacar Oroalator Only a week remains before the Rhodes scholarship examinations, and it is certainly timo now that those who aro thinking about ontoring the contest should have their minds made up, The fact that tho examination is merely a qualifying ono ought to encourage many to enter, who might have reason to fear if tho outcome was to be the result of a test of scholarship alone. Tho fact that athletics and' qualities of character are taken so largely Into consideration, shows tho liberal views of tho man who has given this oppor tunity to so many American students. Whoever wino will havo to work for it and show himself well fitted In all tho requirements demanded. Consid erable interest in the examination lias been aroused among the people of the state, as the conditions and general purpoBo havo been published widely. Ono drawback is that some of the best men in school are so greatly occupied with other duties that they can not afford tho timo necessary for prepara tion. Yet wo can rest assured that the man who does succeed will be deserv ing of the place. O Hair-cutting has come to figure quite largely In the manifestation of class spirit at Michigan, and somo of tho students there havo shown great ex portncsB as amateur barbers. This Is somewhat similar to the customs of the aboriginal inhabitants of the coun try, only the students aro content to do with less. There Is certainly pome- tliing very gratifying in beholding a. rival classman shorn of beveral of hi. locks, his beauty being thus marn d. At any rate It makes work for tho bar ners. and they at least can not object. Tho existence of class spirit is often made evident in peculiar ways, but wi think that the Michigan students nro well advanced in the formulating ol original designs. Junior Boys Meet This Morning. The Junior boys will meet during tlu chapel period this morning to stir up IntouoBt in baseball matters. Will Ram sey has been elected captain or the team. All of the places on the team will have to be competed for, and no man will find a berth waiting for him unless ho makes some attempts to se cure it. Tho Juniors are confident that they have material for a winning teanv. President Allen has appointed W. J. Woods manager of the team. The Seniors and Sophomores have already chosen their managor and captain, and tho Freshmen will very shortly be right In line. Class baseball should create some excitement this year, as the s,ioit is a healthy one and affords' an exi cl ient opportunity for the rival oigani zatlons to compete with each other without tho loss of life or limb. High Sch ol Debate. Professor Fogg addressed tho South eastern Nebraska Teachers' assocla tlonat Beatrice last Friday night at the close of an unusually fine debate, in which eight high schools of the state participated. His subject was, "De bate and Its Value." E. H. Clark was ono of the judges of the contest, which resulted in the victory going to Mr. Ronnoker, of Beatrice. Professor Fogg reports an excellent time and a debate of extraordinary merit. A crowd of eight or nine hund red was present and much enthusiasm was in evidence. Each town represent ed in tho debate sent a large dolgation. and much rivalry for chldf honors lent unusual spirit to tho contest. Have you seen the swell tan shoes at Sanderson's.
