loss. White his writings are some
what eccentric and while they seem a
bit inconsistent at times, swinging
from the strongly liberal in religion
and social matter to the conservative
in economics and politics, yet there is
a charm and freshness about his style
and sentiment that is invigorating
The following prayer that prefaces his
book "Love, Life and Work," is typical
of his philosophy:
. A PRAYER
The supreme prayer of my heart
is not to be learned, rich, famous,
powerful, or "good," but simply
to be radiant. I desire to radiate
health, cheerfulness, calm courage
and good will.
I wish to live without hate,
whim, jealousy, envy, fear. I
wish to be simple, honest, frank,
natural, clean in mind and clean
in body, unaffected ready to say,
"I do not know," if it be so, and
to meet all men on an absolute
equality to face any obstacle
and meet every difficulty un
abashed and unafraid.
I wish others to live their lives,
too up to their highest, fullest,
and best. To that end I pray that
I may never meddle, interfere,
dictate, give advice that is not
wanted, or assist when my ser
vices are not needed. If I can
help people, I'll do it by giving
them a chance to help them
selves; and if I can uplift or in
spire, let it be by example, infer
ence, suggestion, rather than by
injunction and dictation. That is
to say, I desire to be radiant to
radiate life.

days he hears arguments about the'
European conflict. Even University
professors wrangle over the trouble
some say Germany is right, others 1
say England is right. But is it a
question of rectitude of either Ger
many or England? Had not the real
question for our learned men ought
to be. Is war right? Now, think of it,
thoughtful person! A University pro
fessor arguing about the justification
of Germany, France, England, or Rus
sia going to war. No wonder there
can be no peace when our instructors
and teachers impress us that war
is just; no wonder we have war
when a great University has a murder
(military) department which forces
the male students to study "murder"
tactics and civilized manslaughter.
Prepare for war and we will have
war; prepare for peace and we will
have peace.
Why don't our learned men tell us
that war is nothing but a relic of bar
barism and that it is sure destruction
to any people? Why don't they teach
us that the world is our country; to
do good our religion? Why don't they
try to teach us to put a stop to this
butchering business in the future? I
do not know; do you?

THE LUSITANA EDITORIAL
In yesterday's Nebraskan Mr. May
took issue with us regarding the
statements in an editorial appearing
in Monday's Nebraskan. At that time
we referred to the sinking of the Lusi
tana and the consequent loss of life
as a cold-blooded murder. He further
regarded our appeal to keep our heads
and wait for a decision as being incon
sistent. That appeal was not to re
serve judgment as to the guilt of the
parties who sank the ship. Germany
with pride admitted that she did it
There is no issue there. Our argu
ment was that the president and his
advisers were in a position to know
what action should be taken and that
we should not be hasty in demanding
