LOOKING FORWARD.
Tho Dally NobraBkan ontora upon
another yoar's work undor conditions
fully hb auaplcIouB as any that havo
obtained at this Institution. Ub Hold
of notlvItleB proaontB a bright array
of proBpocta. Tho University, giving
promlBo of nn Increased attendance,
a atrongor oducatlvo system, and bov
oral winning athletic teamB, offora all
tho opportunities for success that a
cbllogo dally should doslro. At the
outeot thlB pnpor will adopt tho courso
bollovod to bo the best for tho In-
torosts of this growing Bchool and
will follow It throughout tho aomoBtor.
This will not bo a radical policy.
Neither will It bo extremely conBorva
tlve, but rather will bo a liberal
course.
For thla aomoator, at loast, tho
Dally NobraBkan will be no enthusias
tic xr ovor-zenlous reformer. It will
not try to revolutionize tho customs
of thla "University or bring about any
changes In the established regulations
of tho achool, and will accopt tho
present order of things with complac
ency. But tho Dally Nobraskan will
stand for what la bolloved to bo right,
and whore publicity can aid any Unl
voralty enterpriao, or help a party
which Is working for tho welfare of
thoatato school, tho columns of this
paper will bo thrown open to lend
assistance to Uiobo deserving of it.
The Dally Nobraskan last semester
was slncoro and Btood for good prin
ciples, but In tho enthusiasm for its
cause It allowed ono reform to go too
far without making protest. Tho
Dally should havo Boon that cer
tain men who wero attacked and
Ib nooded. Thla may bo In class,
politics, or In fraternity or social
circles; but In each case tho motive
back of tho opinion will not bo
prompted by prejudice or dealro 6f
Bolf-aggrandlzemont.
Covort assertions havo frequently
boon made that since tho board of
regents purchased tho Dally No
braskan over two years ago a censor
ship has been placed over thla paper.
Tho present editors begin tholr work
without tho knowledge of any re
striction on what Bhall bo printed in
theso columns, and nro froo to ex
press an opinion on or publish any
University happening. No censorship
oxlsta now. If ono la established this
semester tho University public will
learn of it. Tho Daily starta out
unfettored and desirous of treating
all elements with falrnoBB. No one
society or department will rocelvo
fnvora that any other cannot get.
Fraternity man and "barb," engineer
ing student and debating student will
bo troated without favoritism.
With Its nowa apaco Increased tho
Nobraskan should bd nblo to "cover"
tho departments of tho University
more thoroughly than It wbb prepared
to do boforo thlB year. Football, oc
cupying as It does an Important place
In tho life of tho Nebraska student,
will continue to rocelvo a great deal
of attention. Other departments nnd
tho various societies of tho school,
howovor, will not bo neglected. An
offort will bo made to print all tho
University happenings that are nows.
giving them whatovor spaco their
valuo demands.
The Nebraskan may fall In Its alms,
but It la going to mako an earnest
offort to deal fairly and trusts its
motives during tho semester will not
bo mlsconBtruod.

1028 "O"
MINNE80TA TRICKERY.
Crafty Coach Williams of tho Uni
versity of Minnesota has loBt none
of his cunning and artfulness. Pass
ing years chang not tho wily Gopher
coach. Each spring may witness the
loss of moro than half of tho Minne
sota football veterans, but tho suc
ceeding spring Dr. Williams bobB up
with a froeh aupply of excellent ma
terial. Failures, condltlona, and grad
uations daunt him not. Faculty re
Btrlctlona and conference rules aro
no barriers to him. If ho wants n
good plnyor for hla team ho gets him.
This aubtlo trlckory was woll exhibited
In tho manner In which Quarterback
Georgo Cnpron wns brought buck In
to the Gopher fold this fall.
Last seaBon Capron was the lead
ing drop kicker In tho west and ono
of tho best In the wholo country. His
too work brought defeat to both Ne
braska and Ames, and tied up tho
score In tho Wisconsin gamo Walter
Camp and other football authorities
concedod him a high place in tho 1908
Bhoes. So Coach Williams caught
Capron by tho coat tails and pulled
him Into tho Gopher camp over tho
faculty fences. He cared not for
university credits. They are cheap
when the football supremacy of Min
nesota is at stake. He feared not
public opinion, either, for he haB
boon playing his tricks In tho lime
light for several years.
There Is something about Dr. Wil
liams' work In the case of George
Capron which should mako any man
but a butcher hold his nose. It 1b
best described by that adjective often
hurled from tho bleachers at an um
pire "rotten." Nebraska and the
other achool8 which meet Minnesota
this fall ought to demand more than
an explanation from Coach Williams
and tho rest of the Gopher athletic
authorities. Surely hero Is a case
for Investigation by tho purity ath
lotlc board of Nebraska.

What do You Know about Budd
Being in the Shoe Business?
Hundreds of students have worn Budd $2.50 Hats the past
few years. This season Budd makes a new bow to new and old
Unl men with a new Budd Store at 1415 O with $3.50 and $2.50
8hoes. Young men's snappy shoes at a "cheaper" price. The
new store has candy $2.50 hats and furnishings. And the old
dump, at 1141 O, will be headquarters for students for their
hats, their furnishings, and "party" supplies. Look me up. I
am a better fellow than ever.

fell undor the axe at that time wero
Innocent, and It should have defended
them If It waB the duty of tho Ne
braskan (and It surely was) to as
sist In reform, It was just as much
its duty to protest when that reform
went so far that It caught and pulled
down Innocent men.
Tho Dally NobraBkan this semester,
while It believes reform is necessary
at times, does not begin tho year
with a storehouae full of ideas on
how the University should be run or
what changes should be made in tho
laws governing it There will be no
attempt to seek out weak spots In
,tho state school. Situations and con
ditions will be handled as -they pre
sent themselves1. ,
Often in the past this paper has
held aloof from expressing opinions
on various University movements and
functions. Its attitude on many occa
sions has been apathetic. A college
dally occupies a position in Univer
sity circles not unlike that of a city
paper in tho community in which it
circulates. Its opinions are needed
to assist in the progress of the peo
ple moylng in its field. The Dally
Nebraskan will aim to follow out the
work of an ideal college paper and
will try not to shirk its duty. An at
tempt will be made to give an edi
torial expression where it seems one
football ranks. But Capron is not a
brilliant student and last spring failed
so miserably in his studies that he
loft the Minnesota school a delinquent
and thus became ineligible for foot
ball this fall. On thlB point, a Btu
dent, writing to tho Chicago Tribune
only last Sunday from Minneapolis,
said: "Georgo Capron, who made a
national reputation as a drop klckor,
will no longer play with Minnesota.
He fqll behind in his studies during
the winter and finally left college.
Capron's loss will be a great one,
and there seems to be no one In his
clara to replace him."
Until last Tuesday everybody not
well acquainted with the ways of Dr.
Williams believed that George Capron
had played his last Minnesota football.
On that day, however, news was Bent
out from Minneapolis telling of the
election of George Capron as captain
of the Minnesota eleven to succeed
Captain Dunne, who committed sui
cide last month.
What had been done? Crafty Dr.
Williams needed George Capron on
his team this fall. He did not care
that the quarterback was delinquent
Ho knew, moreover, that tho strength
of the Gophers this season depends
on a klckor of the caliber of Capron.
He had no other man among his can
didates who could fill the 1907 star's
The offerings- of tho Lincoln plny
hoiiHcs for tho season of 1908-09 prom
ise to ijo plentiful nnd of a qunllty that
will please the mnny theatrical patrons
of this city. Tho Majestic has been
placed on tho Orphoum circuit and now
Is Klvlnff high-class vaudeville unllko any
seen hero boforo. Tho Lyric has nbarv
doned vnudovlllo ior jieiv motion pic
tures which aro described as "pictures
which talk and sins." At tho Oliver the
legitimate plays and tho popular mu
Hlcal comedies continue to occupy tho
boards.
Tho season was ushered In tho last
week of August at tho three houses and
tho patronage at all of them has been
heavy since then, although tho Oliver,
with tho exception of tho opening night
when Henry Miller presented tho ''Great
Divide," has offered nothing that would
please tho average student thcatrc-gocr.
Manager Gorman opened his now vaudo
vlllo Iioubo with fl strong feature bill
and during tho three succeeding weeks
has continued to plcaso largo crowds
with an attractlvo varloty of programs.
This week tho bill Includes a strong
array of talented artists. William Morrow
and Verda Schollbory In "Happy's Mil
lion," and tho Frascona's operatic quar
tet divide places as tho headllnors. Mor
row In tho western comedy playlet wills
great applause from his audience with
his hearty laughing song. Cupid, who
looks very much Hko Puck and who
appears In "Happy's Millions" near tho
close, receives several curtain calls at
each performance. Tho Operatic quar
tet pleases tho major part of all the
audlonces.
Reynolds nnd Donegan, late of Anna
Hold's "Parisian Model" company, in
troduce some clever dances on roller,
skates. Their work Is a novelty that
has not been seen In Lincoln before
this fall. Gil Brown, advertised as a
dancing Wonder, which ho Is not. has
a few now clog stops. Tho Carl Dam
mann troupe of acrobats and tho Schaar
Whoolor trio in an astonishing bicycle
act add to tho strength and worth of
tho bill.
