The crowded condition in classes in several of tho different departments of the university this fall again empha sizes tho fact that Nebraska is grow ing too faBt for Us accommodations. Its quarters are too small to take care of the Increasing number of students who como hero each year. Within a few years, -Jf tho present Btream of freshmen continues to pour into this university, thoro will have to bo an extensive expansion In the way of now bUildingB. Few more can bo orocted on the campus, and about tho only alternative is for the regents to order future buildings to be placed at the farm. The price asked for land in Lincoln prohibits tho enlargement of tho cam pus here. Tho obstacles and coBt which the athletic board have had to face In securing a few lots north of Nebraska field have demonstrated what may be expected If the regents Bhould attompt to purchase land for the extension of tho present campus. Tho state farm offers a flno location where, any number of buildings may bo constructed, giving plenty of room for instructors to do better work and A. lot of new Pin Stripe "Cluett" Shirts $ 1.50 Coat Shirts and the new Satin Ties to match. I have something very new, very classy every day or two-and this to give tho students the needed facili ties for high clasB work. It Ib not too early now for the uni versity authorities to bo looking around and laying plans for the ex pansion which will have to come with in a few years. Some members of the faculty realize tho needs of tho uni versity and aro doing good work in an effort to bring about the best re sults for university extension. This movement needs a great force behind It and everybody with any power should lend his aid. Thursday Convocation. Piano recital by Mr. Harold Shell horn. ' MacDowell Romance. Hungarian.

NOT ALL TREACHEROUS JUDQE N0RRI8 DEFEND8 THE FIL IPINO CHARACTER. OPPOSE EARLY INDEPENDENCE Declares the Dominant Qovernment li for the First Time In History Bearing Burdens of the Serving-Class. Wo are in tho PhlMpplnes to bear the white man's burden. For the first tlmo In our hlfltory the American school teacher, and missionary works sldo by side with the government For tho first time in the history of the world tho dominant government is boarlng tho burdens of tho serving cIobs." Thus declared Judgo W. F. NorriB in a scholarly address at chapel yesterday. Continuing his address he spoke as follows: "What shall wo do with the Philippines Is tho question which waB askod in 1898 and the same quoHtion Is still beforo the American people. Some people say, "Lot us sell tho Islands," others say, "Let us trado them for something more valuable," and still others say, "Let us keep them." Wo must, at least keep the Philippines until we have fitted them for independence. Opposed to Japanese. "As soon as It was reported that the United StatoB might sell the IslandB to tho Japanese a storm of protest at once aroso among tho FillplnoB. The Filipinos do not wish to come under tno control of tho Japanese for many reasons. In the llrst place tho Japan ese government Is an absolute mon archy and tho Filipinos look toward ul timate Independence. The Japanese are a non-Christian people and the Fil ipinos are a Christian people. "Judgo Norrls declared that he wished to remove some of the false im pressions about the Philippines. Al though tho question has been dJscuBBed for so many yonrs the Americans do not seem to have a much clearer Idea of tho nature of the Philippines than they had in 1638. In some discussions of subject the Fllllplno Is painted as having a treacherous and decietful character. In others hlB character Is painted all white. Now tho truth of tho matter Is that tho FUllpinos are very much like other peoplo, neither all black nor all white. Men find others to be a good deal as they treat them. A Composite People. "Wo are not holding the Philippines space will put you wise againBt the consent of tho people. It Is. utterly wrong to say that the FUll pinos, as a people, desire any one thing. Tho Filliplnos are a composite people with vastly different ideas and desires. Some FUllpinos desire imme diate independence, others desire that the United States shall hold the Is lands until they reach tho point where they are capable of governing them selves. Some desire protection for the Christian religion, some des'lr'e protec tion for Mohammedlsm, the men in the lowlands desire protection froni the raids of the mountaineers, the men liv ing in the mountains desire protection from the exortlon of the men In the lowlands. .Under these circumstances it is Impossible to say that any one thing is desired by the FUllpinos. Native Government Bad. It is sometimes said that if the American government v&hould be with drawn, the Philippine government would fall Into, the hands of an edu cated oligarchy which would bo. as good for the people as an American oligarchy. While It may be true that tho government would come Into the hands of the educated classes it is not true that this would insure a good gov ernment The educated FUllpinos are a very different sort of peoplo from the educated Americans. The schools of Manila turn out an entirely different person than such colleges as the Uni versity of Nebraska. "Tho great landowners of the Is lands make their own laws and by means of their bands of retainers force the carrying out of their commands. The whole race is not treacherous' or deceitful, but by far too many people are of such character." - A NEW REPUBLICAN-BRYAN CLUB. Minnesota Republicans Line Up Rapid ly for Great Nebraskan. Believing that many men at the University of Minnesota who are re publicans are In favor of Bryan as president, a club Is being formed of Bryan republicans, rho republican Taft club that was formed there laBt week was not successful as far as numbers were concerned for only thir teen men turned out. The new club was launched in the night law school Monday ovonlng and In twenty-four hours had a membership of over one hundred. Blanks are now being circulated on the campus and it is believed that five hundred men will be signed up be foro the end of the week. Tho pledge reads as follows: 1. We, the undersigned, students of tho University of Minnesota, declare our allegiance to tho republican party, and pledge our devotion to progressive republican principles. 2. We believe tho Chicago conven tion adopted a platform which does not embody thoBo Principles and nomi nated candidates whose views do not reflect tho will of tho peoplo. 3. We hold that It is tho right and the duty of the peoplo to rebuke party leaders when they allow political or ganizations to be influenced by con siderations of private interest 4. In the exercise of this right and duty we express our intention to vote for candidates who are pledged to fur ther progressive principles, without regard to the party to which these can didates belong and to exort all our in fluence to secure the election of Wil liam Jennings Bryan as president of tne United States. 5. To make our efforts In thlB direc tion more effective wo hereby associ ate ourselves as the Republican Bry an Club of Minnesota." The registrar's office of Grinnell college sends out an encouraging re port of the progress of the endow ment campaign during the month juBt closed It Bhows about $45,000 raised In that time. Every effort will be made to surpass this In the remain ing months, if this average Is kept Q Two STORES I4I&, O. up the conditions of the general board of education's gift will be met and the future will be easy sailing for a bottelowa college. The larg est gift since tho last statement was made was from Mrs. M. B. Haskell of Fort Dodge, amounting to $10,000. Another notable gift wob of $2,000 from Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Fellows of Grinnell. Are They Right. At the University of Nebraska every candidate fora class office Is required by the university rules to announce himself a stated time in advance of the election. The date of the election is known a considerable time in ad vance, and by this means every mem ber of the class has a chance to take part In the election and to know just what he is doing. Here at tho Uni versity of Kansas, the "old school" of politics still flourishes, with packed caucuses, "dark horses," and hurried elections, and the trail of the gum shoe Is over It all. Whether this Is tho best political training that can be given men who are expected after they leave the university to play the game of politics Under the most enlightened primary and election laws of any state In thq country may well be doubted. . KanBan. AT OTHER COLLEGES Purdue has a new coach for the freshmen team. Tho former coach has a position with tho Erie railroad and will leave school. The political clubs at Indiana are organizing quartets. Those who cut class at South Da kota henceforth must go to the regis trar and be reinstated. Iowa may abolish socret practice with tho Idea that tho system Injures class spirit. Prof. A. C. Waldo, professor of math ematics at Purdue for thirteen years, has resigned. He will go to Washing ton university in St. LouIb. Dr. Sasamorl, a Japanese, Bpoke to De Pauw students Friday. Tho basket-ball team of the Univer sity of Washington is making a great hit In Japan. It Is the first white team to visit that country. Ed Coughlan, Minnesota's star quarter-back, haB reported for practice. Cornell Is making an effort to de velop intercollegiato athletics. Asso ciation football, cross country running, basket-ball, Indoor stunts, baseball, track, and rowing avIH be on tho lists. A freshman at South Dakota has been appointed captain in tho regi ment. All the commissioned officers I there got pay this year for tho first time. Plans are on foot which scorn likely to result in an all-university senior class at Minnesota, in which tho aca demics, engineers, laws, medics, dents and "aggies" will unite In electing offi cers. If the pian goes through the all university organization will take charge of the senior "prom," the senior class play and the work in connection with commencement A girls' orchestra Is the latest news that Is stirring tho college musical world at Minnesota. Not satisfied with their numerous fominlne organi zations, with dramatic laurels, with representation on the leading publica tions and oven with their glee club, the ambitious co-eds nave como for ward with an orchestra. Tho freshmen won the pole scrap at Monmouth last week. The sopho mores protested the decision because tho freshmenB carried wire cutters which they claimed woro "dangerous weapons." Tho objection was over ruled. The underclassmen at Indiana, have declared a truce until their annual scrap next Saturday. The two classes have iJe"eiTnavlng street lights galore, and the city policemen have had to dis perse the crowd occasionally 8ororlty at Baker. Alphat Chi Omega has just added another chapter to Its chain of uni versity organizations. Tho new chapter, known ub the Omlcron chaptor, has been Installed at Baker University, at Baldwin, Kan.

It was an organization of high fraternal standards and soma of Us members have played leading roles at Baker, It had never petitioned for admission to a national sorority until its request to Alpha Chi .Omega. The Omlcron chapter of Alpha Chi Omega, as installed at Baker Univor-' slty, Is the first and pnly chapter of that society In Kansas. The nearest sister is the one at the University of Nebraska.
