Price 5 Cent t J; r INTEREST WAS GREAT UNIVERSITY STUDENTS LET 8TU DIES SLUMP YE8TERDAY. CHALOUPKA FOOLS HIS CAPTAIN Cernhusker Football -Star Would Not Let His Harvey Get the Better of Him en National Elec tion Deal. ' It Ib a safo bot at almost any oddB that tho tiling moat studiod by uni versity students yesterday was tho genoral election of national and local officials. In ovory class and whorover a group of men happened to got to gothor daring tho day tho topic of dis cussion was invariably tho olectlon. Numbers of tho men had a direct In terest Iri tho selection of tho loadora who are to govern tho nation on ac count of thbir right of franchise. t)th ors were Interested becauso they real ized that hefore another four years have brought around another genoral olectlon they, too, will have acquired tho privilege of voUng. Tho girlB wore Interested because tho rest were. All In all, class work took a decided slump yesterday, both morning and afternoon. Numbors of the students were at home in various parts of tho state casting their ballots and many others, who had established residence In Lincoln, were obliged to miss one or more classes In order to vote. A fow of the most ardent politicians wore actively engaged throughout tho day In hustling tho voters" of the city to the voting booths. Instructors Lenient. Instructors generally recognized the intense interest which prevailed by dealing leniently with absentees and quite a number assigned brief lessons In order that their studentB jnlght have more time to vote and to watch tho returns In tho ovonlng. In one class where tho regular assignment was given out at tho closo of the class, tho Instructor reduced It to one-third tho uBual amount on being reminded that yesterday was election day. It was well that some instructors acted thus since in all probability thero was little studying done by a majority of tho students last oyonlng. Thero was tho excitement of a four-yearly crisis Mn the air and. -the university students felt It aB much as did the town voters. While largo numbors wont homo to vote thero "were qujto a number who did their duty and yot managed to stay in Lincoln by palrjng'off with an other mn who would have voted on tho opposite side of tho ticket If ho had caBt his' ballot In this way tho voters saved tho expense' of a trip home and at tho samo time made suro that tho Iosb of their vote would not hurt either of tho two parties. It was by some such an arrange ment as this that Captain Harvey of the football team an Bill Chaloupka, both from Wilbur, had intended to stay In Lincoln, yesterday. rBut Jim couldn't roBt in peace while thinking of how Taft might lose tho election from lack of his vote. Hence, about train tlmo Jim hit tho Pke for Q station without letting his fellow townsman, who is a Bryan follower, know his intention. He boarded tho train 'all right and chuckled over tho way In which ho had won a vote for Taft. ' But Bill Was There. But Jim didn't quite credit Bill with as much worldly wisdom as the husky CprnhuBker player . possesses, BUI caught onto the deal and made the dust fly In his frantic endeavors to get to tho Burlington station boforo the train left He did a stunt that will go down In history as a record run and climbed on the train Just at train leaving time. Of courso he re ceived Jim's explanations of how the latter had forgo! to.leave word of his doparture with mild and meok torgivo ness. Tho two Journeyed to Wilbur togothor and thoroby William Howard Taft and William Jennings Bryan each got one more boost towards the presi dential chair. Another football man who is almost as enthusiastic for tho democratic can didate as is Bill Chaloupka Is Kroogor, who has boen playing a flno game all year. Kroeger can't say enough about his good opinion of tho Nobraskan. Thoro are sonio Taft men in Coach Colo's family, too, so whichever way tho result shall be, tho disappointment of, tho boaten ones will not be allowod to -hurt-tho Cornhuskor play. MAURICE A.

Interference In Municipal Affairs by Organization of Nation and State "I havo often hoard it said," de clared Arthur Weathorly at convo cation yesterday, "that tho city is a Joint Btock company In which the citizens nro tho stockholders, but I moBt omphatlcally dony thlB. Tho metaphor totally falls. Tho city Is a dwelling together of human bolngs ln which every man gives somothlng to tho city that all may onjoy groator advantages. Now York City Is not, In tho trtio-BonBO of tho word, a city, but It Is rntner an aggregation of Indi viduals. "Tho real City has an atmosphoro which expresses unity of purpoBo and unity of lire. This Is tho only kind of a community from which can como great genius and great art The fact that in 150 years Athens gavo to tho world five immortals resulted from the porfect unity of action ln tho city and from the fact that all wero movod by a common purpose In the me devlal cities tho spirit and art which was tho glory of tho world was de veloped by tho same means. "In order for the city 'to attain to the highest, degree of ofllcloncy It muBt express ovory phase of tho city's or ganic life. Tho end and aim of tho organization of the modern city should be to obtain unity of organization, which means tho development of unity of life. When tho city owns tho -water works every citizen from tno humblest to tho wealthiest and most intelligent, If I may consider that tno wealthiest are tho most intelligent, 1b interested In obtaining pure, good water. When, on the other hand, tho necessities of life are 01x01 by public service corporations the wealthiest and most Intelligent members of the community aro ranged in- opposition to itB best interests. "Wo must ndmlt that wo' have failed ln our attempt at good city govern? ment ln America, and we can give several 'reasons for tho inofflclonpy of our governments. First nmong'thoBO may do considered the Interference of ,tho state and of national politics. Very few cities are permitted to do anything that Is not specially stated in tho charter. Another reason for our failure was tho attempt to mako the form of government which was satisfactory for the nation do for the municipality. "In. municipal gerernmont, as it has existed for tho past, responsibility has not been centered where it should be. English municipalities have ar rived at a high degree of efficiency and responsibility wlthoutrthe intorforenco of the nation, and with the use of wards for the election of city officers. I am in favor of the commission form of government, becauso it places tho responsibility upon tho people them selves. It puts tho matter of good government up to the peoplo, and-with this situation we can develop unity of action, out of which will como a higher development of art and a higher sys tem of Ideals."
