TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1915
To the Commissioners and Excise
men of the City of Lincoln: As you
are to soon consider the npplications
for saloon and pool hall licenses, we
wish to call your attention to the
large number of these places in the
immediate vicinity of the University.
No wthat the people of the state have
definitely decided that the University
shall remain at the down-town campus,
we submit that it is up to the people
of Lincoln to do their part towards
creating an atmosphere that is con
ducive to University life in this sec
tion of the city. At the present time
Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth streets
are the thoroughfares most used by
students going from O street to the
University. A large majority of the
students find it necessary to use at
least one of these streets every day.
It is impossible to get from O street
to the University on one of these
streets without passing a saloon or a
pool hall. There are eight pool halls
and seven saloons located on these
streets and upon P street which inter-,
sects them. During this last year a
pool hall license was granted for a
pool hall on the corner of Q and
Eleventh' street, only one block from
the campus gate. Leaving for a mo
ment the men out of consideration,
we believe that the necessity for the
young women of the University to
pas6 these places on their way to
school is an injustice that merits your
consideration. Particularly is this
true at this time of the year when
from the open doors of the saloons
come the odor of liquor and boister
ous laughter of men.
AYe do not care to discuss the right
or wrong of saloons and pool halls.
The people of Lincoln have passed
upon that question and that issue is
settled temporarily at least. But
their location rests with you. If there
is objection to their being on the part
of O street that is most traveled, cer
tainly there is no excuse for shoving
them north around the University. If
the express purpose was to segregate
these institutions in the vicinity of
4he University, it could hardly have
been carried on with a greater degree
of success.
As a matter of pride the city of
Lincoln should make an effort to free
the part of town near the University
of any institutions that can In any
way handicap it. The people of Lin
coln exerted every effort to keep the
University down town. The first step
toward living up to the expectation of
the people of the state is to make this
an ideal University location. As the
officials of the city of Lincoln you can
start the movement by refusing to
grant at lea?t a part of the licenses
held in this vicinity during the past
year. Wil you do it?
THE FORUM
To the Editor of the Daily Nebraskan:
Your editorial In yesterday's "Rag"
concerning the Lusitania Incident
seems to me highly Inconsistent. In
one breath you speak of It as a "cold
blooded murder," and that every sane
man's judgment will tell him as much.
In the next breath you say we must
"keep our heads," "that the matter
will be gone into very carefully and
when a decision is reached," etc. It's
like feeding a man booze and telling
him to keep sober. Why not wait un
til that decision, or at least until the
facts are known, until you append the
name of murderer to any one? If we
are to be neutral, let's be neutral.
In speaking editorially you are sup
posed to express the sentiment of your
readers of the University as a whole
and I doubt if you can find any such
unaniminity of opinion as will justify
at this time such a statement. If
your editorial is correct, then I am
insane; for my views at this time do
not coincide with yours, and I have
adequate reasons to support them.
However, I am neutral, and would like
to see the "Rag" neutral. We are
taught in the Law College that a man
is innocent until he is proven guilty.
and that by the laws of his country.
Upon the same analogy, Germany is
innocent until proven guilty under the
nternational Code.
