Of courso, wo know that tho society

States into an unpremeditated war
with Spain.
Our "patriotism" is indeed dead. A
couplo of weeks ago, after It had been
mnthomatlcally and algebraically de
termined that tho salute of twonty-ono
GrcaBer guns fired at irregular "Inter
vals" would vindicate Amorlcan honor
in Mexico, a flagrant malofactoryL
Iluerta; gamo his word of dishonor
that ho would saluto before 6 p. m.
But, alas, by 4 p. m. Huerta was so
drunk that ho mistook tho bombastic
pop of tho champagno bottles for tho
muffled thud of his cannon. So
American honor was lost beyond all
hopes of recovory except by military
force. Now. as a true "patriotic"
THE SEQUEL.
To bo definlto Is to avoid being mis
understood. Tho NobraBkan recog
nizes that tho students of tho Univer
sity can, under existing circumstancos,
volco no protest concerning tho recent
Innocent elections. Nor can it in any
way crlticlBO tho method of theso se
lections. The Iunocont society was
not organized by tho students, nor
does it recognize the dictates of publio
opinion In selecting their members.
Fro mtho standpoint of tho society,
this Is not only defensible, but prob
ably very deBirablo. But tho vital
question Is: Is It best for tho Univer
logo, and Konnoth Snyder, ox-manag- country wo should appropriate $1,000,
000,000, raise an army ora "mlllloTior

wretch. In UiIb way wo "would show
that we aro not content with an in
ferior place among the nations of the
eorth," and thus vindicate "patriotism
But, horror or horrors! A BiriaUT
body of men aro now accomplishing
peacefully what could just as well
havo been accomplished by a bloody
war accompanied by dlro disease, do
plorablo disasters, dreadful death, de
basing dobauchery, despicable despot
ism, and tho dollberato decapitation of
tho desperate desperado Huorta.
Hero's to "patriotism!" May it live
long enough to throttle tho ghoul that
now stirs the sod above its grave!
ANOTHER PATRIOT.
lty of certain men often changes tho
porsonnol of tho society. But it seems
to bo vory ovldcnt that such positions
of' truBt as tho editor and the business
manager of tho Cornhusker and tho
captain of tho football team'carry but
littlo weight.
Wo can't holp but bollovo that Jus
tlco has been miscarried. Wo believe
that such positions should bo recog
nized. But wo see no way out of tho
difficulty othor than to elect an or
ganization which shall havo tho recog
nition of tho students and which in
turn shall bo absolutely responsible to
them. Sucjh a body wo do need. It is
tho only solution.

This socloty, regardless of purpose

and tho leader of student opinion.
Tradition has mado tho solection to
this organization stand for something
far greater than tho moro membership
in an hpnorary society. Membership

past services in tho University, and an
estlmato of a man's vaiuo to ma uilK
vorslty. This, wo say, Is what tho so
cloty has como to moan, rogardless of
what It Is supposed to be. Talk to
anybody, bo ho freshman or senior,
nnd tho idea that tho Innocent Is or
should be tho man who has done tho
most, Is everywhere held. We aro of
the opinion that tho thirteen men In a
class who havo boon tho most active,
who have really done things in tholr
societies, tho men who havo moulded
student action and led student opinion
