Americana Consider Morals, English- men the Property Rights Involved, Says Prof, Guernsey Jones. That temperance agitation In Eng land wHl Increase, with a growing Chance of final BUCcesB, Is the expec tation of Professor Guernsey Jones, who spoke at Convocation yesterday on "English Temperance Legislation." Professor Jones emphasized the dTFl ferent ways In which Americana and Englishmen approach the question. Here It is a question of morality; there the primary consideration is prqperty. , s "The temperance movement which Js sweeping over this country has its 'components in European countries," said Professor Jones. "The move ment there seems mild compared with tours, England being the most pro gressive. "The timidity with which the Eng lish have approached the temperance question has npt been due to better conditions there- than elsewhere. In .fact, the English saloons are quite as objectionable as our own and their (numbers are proportionately greater. In all England the proportion of sa loons to population is one to three hundred. Here in Lincoln we have one saloon for every thousand or twelve hundred inhabitants. In Ox ford and Cambridge, two great Eng lish university towns, the number of persons to each saloon are one hun dred and eighty-four and one hundred and forty-five, respectively. The Eng lish saloon interests wield a tremen dous political Influence. Thus we see that the problem Is even more press ing there than In this country. "The"rea8ons for the timidity fn approaching- the natter are" several. Tradition in England is opposed to legislation which restrict individual llberty. Gladstone In the early nine ties condemned the refusal, of licenses on the ground that such action would harm free tTade. We must consider also that in England, the brewing business is. eminently respectable. 'Lords are among the leaders of the -liquor Interests. The business is a recognized avenue of political prefer ment "The English persist in looking up on -the question from the standpoint of the property Involved, They be lieve, that the liquor -dealer must be compensated for his loss of income. The first temperance measure became a law in 1904. It provided that every holder of a license must contribute about $50 to a compensation fund, this money to be used in compensating dealers , whose licenses 'were retired. The English license is peculiar in that, although it is" subject to re newal annually, it has come to be re garded as a permanent asset of the ;holder. ,. Licenses are valued as high as 150,000, their value "of course be . tag . entirely speculative. About ten .'years ago the 'brewers bought up a , (CoatInnibnJpage4)j Junior ABBOTT'S ORCH.

The adoption of the Freshman rulo by the Athletic Board has made quite a change in the line-up of the Corn huskers. Shortstop Harris and Catch era Sturtzeneggor and Greenslit wero put on the bench. This has forced Wo change of Klein to first baso and Denslow to backstop, while shortstop Is again wldo open.

Tho advent of Sleuter has put new hope into the hearts of the fans, as the left garden is now sure tp be welL cared for. Tho pitching staff is causing some worry on account of tho wildness of most all of the boys, but it Is still early In the year and by the time the trip Is well started tho boys will be playing a number one baseball. When the Cornhuskor baseball team leaves on the Eastern trip they will not need to be ashamed df the equip ment that has been furnished for their use in the games.
