To thine own self be true.
And it must follow, as the night the

Thou canst not then be false to any

We introduce as our editorial writer
this morning, Robert G. Ingersoll.
He is dead now, but his sublime
words live on. Broad of mind, big of
heart, this seer of humanity dreamed
of that time of times.
A VISION OF THE FUTURE.
By Robert G. Ingersoll.
A vision of the future rises. I see
a world where thrones have crumbled
and where kings are dust. The aris
tocracy of idleness has perished from
the earth. I see a world without a
slave. Man at last is free. Nature's
forces have by science been enslaved.
Lightning and light, wind and wave,
frost and flame, and all the secret
subtle powers of the earth and air are
the tireless toilers for the human
race. I see a world at peace, adorned
with every form of art, with music's
myriad voices thrilled; while Hps are
rich with words of love and truth; a
world In which no exile sighs, no pris
oner mourns; a world on which the
gibbet's shadow does not fall; a world
where labor reaps its full reward,
where worth and work go hand In
hand, where the poor girl, trying to
win bread with a needle the needle
that has been called "the asp for the
breast of the poor" is not driven to
the desperate choice of crime or
death, of suicide or shame. I see a
world without the beggar's out
stretched palm, the miser's heartless,
stony stare, the piteous wall of want,
the livid lips of lies, the cruel eyes
of scorn. I see a race without dis
ease of fleBh or brain shapely and
fair married harmony of form and
function, and, as I look, life lengthens,
joy deepens, love canopies the earth;
and overall In the great dome shines
the eternal star of human hope.

THE FORUM
In yesterday's Dally Nebraskan
there appeared an editorial urging
Americans to contribute to the aid of
"suffering Belgians." Not only this
but the different clubs in the city and
throughout the country are planning
to raise funds to send abroad. To an
unprejudiced person this new phase
of American good will cannot help
but appear, at least, queer.
' The people of the Unitefi States
have always been willing and ready
to respond to any urgent need of the
unfortunates of other lands. But this
is a case slightly different from all
other demands. The Belgian people
are unfortunate from choice, instead
of from misfortune. They deliberate
ly chose to stand for what they
called their rights, and they have
reaped their reward. Perhaps the
women and children are hungry, but
what are the men of Belgium doing?
They are carrying on the war which
has already destroyed their homes.
Instead of having learned their lesson
and benefited by experience, they still
choose to battle in aid of the allies.
Why do not the allies take care of
the country which stood by them?
Of course, they are doing something,
but this something is nothing to what
must be done. Whenever any coun
try drains its land to feed Its soldiers
there seems to be but little reason
for a supposedly neutral country "to
interfere by sending supplies.
Furthermore, if the United States
must express their feeling by render
ing aid to some one of the countries,
why not give the aid to the country
needing it most? The Bohemians
were poor before the war and have
since become beggars, while the Bel
gians were wealthy before the war
and are now only in a comparatively
bad condition. H. C.
A KICK COMING.
Editor Daily Nebraskan:
Captain Goetze of the 1914 cross
country team is right in his conten
tion of giving this sport its honest
dues if it is to Jje among the sports
of this institution. He is, however,
wrong in his saying that it would be
well to abolish this form of athletics,
as in the past Nebraska has always
had a winning team, and to quit now
in the face of adverse fortune is ,not
altogether true sportsmanship. For
five out of eight years Nebraska, won
the conference meets with no better
material than they have had this year.
The men this year have had a system
of training without a trainer. They
have automatically followed the sys
tem of training prescribed for them
with the results well, the results
need not be mentioned.
A feeling of disdain exists among
the men in the other forms of ath
letics here toward the men who get
out for cross-country. This is true
among the football men more than
anywhere else. The men who are out
for cross-country train harder and
more carefully than do the football
men; indeed, a man running in the
cross-country race must be in better
condition than a man to play in a
football game. He must be more care
ful of his eating and living in every
sense of the word to do himself and
his school justice. These facts may
be new to the fans, but they are true,
nevertheless.
A cross-country man cannot, under
ordinary conditions, get a treatment
or rub-down in the dressing room
all the time being spent on the foot
ball men. They are reminded to
hurry when they occupy a rubbing
table and are indeed treated without
any consideration whatever. If a
cross-country man wishes to have a
minor Injury treated he must get
some student who has more school
spirit than can be fund In the dress
ing room to do it. Not one of the
men have had a "rub down" all year.
Many slighting remarks are made In
regard to the men who are following
this form of athletics, inferring that
they are not doing anything to uphold
the honor of the school. True, they
did not do much this year, but under
the circumstances nothing more can
be expected.
In the past Nebraska has always
had a man to train the men, and he
ould go along with the men and
pace them and look after their wel
fare every minute of the training sea
son. He took an active part In the
work and five conference meets were
the result of this form of training.
It Is small wonder that Captain Goetze
suggests abolishing the sport, for the
team cannot do the school justice un
der the circumstances. Do not abol
ish the sport, but next year let us
have a special coach and remove
these handicaps and show some inter
est in the sport. The men will re
spond with a winning team, for they
have the goods for one thing and will
show the other teams in the West
that we have a team here, and the
men are only human and will do the
best that is in them.
These are the sentiments of all of
the men on the squad and can be
verified by them. They do not wish
to appear to be "knocking," but feel
that this explanation is due the stu
dents of this great school. For, after
all, they get no letters for running
except in conference meets, and a
minor one then. Cross-country is a
great sport and a successful one finan
cially in the East, and can be made
one here if given the proper atten
tion. The cross-country men submit
these facts for the approval of the
students. Speak to them and they
will tell you the same things that are
mentioned here, only much more
strongly expressed than they are in
this article.
