tw h timo this issue is off press a number of you Huskers will
be ready for your trip home, but what about the poor unfortunates
must npnd even so short a time as a lew days on me om
camping ground! If you are lucky enough to be able to make a
trip home during the Thanksgiving vacation our suggestion wuum
ha tht von tret awav as early as you can and stay as long as the
law allows. Eat all you can, sleep all you can and incidentally
enjoy yourself time enough for work when you get back, liave
some real life for a few days, that is what you go home for.
Wherever one goes he hears Chamberlain mentioned as a
"world beater." He is. Why argue such a question when there is
not ground for argument!
The Wisconsin Daily Cardinal has also had the courage to pub
lish a "Home Coming" edition on blood red paper. Utah made the
noise first.
The next issue of the Nebraskan will appear on the Tuesday
following vacation. Don't look for a paper Monday our reporters
want some vacation too.
The Daily Texan says, "Coach Harper's team (Notre Dame),
was put out of the Western championship running by Nebraska, or,
to be specific, by one Chamberlain of Nebraska." Even so.
FORUM
The committee which planned the
Homecoming Mixer deserved great
credit for its work. The ease with
which the crowd of 2,000 faculty, alum
ni and students were accommodated
and the variety of the entertainment
were a surprise to all who had attend
ed the former Mixers. The only re
gret of those who attended was that
they could not be in the Temple, the
Armory, the Art hall and the Law
building all at he same time. The
idea of having dancing in both, the
Music hall and the Armory was ap
proved by alL The Lincoln Military
orchestra, in full dress military uni
forms, rendered the latest music with
lots of "pep" for the dancers in Mu
sic halL This plan of dividing the
festivities between several of the Uni
versity buildings received such hearty
approval that it will undoubtedly be
followed in the Mixers of the future.

DOUBLE DELIGHT
Two rare and extraordinary "num
bers" were served to its audience on
Thursday night by the East Lincoln
League.
First was the surprising and de
lightful spectacle of a congressman
giving his hearers something to think
about. Many congressmen make de
lightful speeches, full of bright bun
combe, inspiring odes to bunting, and
impassioned appeals to the self satis
faction of their hearers. Congressman
Dan Stephens' speech on the short
ballot had the uniqueness of complete
freedom from that kind of thing.
There is a possibility that his well ex
pressed ideas on the simplification and
making efficient of government ma
chinery ideas, by the way, in line
with the advanced thought of the
time on this subject may make a
permanent impression and bestow a
permanent benefit upon his state. We
submit that this is a new thing under
the sun. It lsnt' often the part of an
office holder to promote new ideas. It
is oftener his pleasure to ride into
office on ideas made popular by
others.
Surprise and delight No. 2 consisted
in a hyphenated American's standing
up and saying some kind things about
America. Professor Hrbkova is not
even a potential candidate for office,
being a woman. We may assume,
therefore, that she was not merely
flattering us when she pointed out
great qualities In which America leads
the world and should continue to lead
It America treats its women with
more respect than Europe. It has a
school system promotive of equality
of feeling and opportunity. Its free
spech and free press, coupled with
freedom of organization, are boons not
much known in Europe. Its social
morality is superior to that of Europe.
Even Its politics, though sometimes
perverted, is a part of its superiority
in drawing the best out of its people,
foreign born or native.
America has been treated to so
much of contrary talk in the last year
and a Quarter by representatives of its
'most numerous foreign element that

on an abased American soul like
water upon hot sand. We had been
about convinced lately by Professor
Muensterberg and others that the only
thing that has saved America from
utter barbarity and failure thus far
has been the missionary services of a
certain race of our immigrants. We
have been told unceasingly how hu
miliatlngly inferior we are to the na
tion which leads the world In all the
elements of civilization. A regent of
our own university has been copious
in this kind of thing. Just as we be
gan to worry lest our saviors might
desert us for the better fatherland,
leaving us to the mercy of our own
worthlessness, comes Professor Hrb
kova with words of praise for having
been not only of some account our
selves, but for doing something for
foreigners who have sought here lib
erty and a living. We now feel able to
lift our faces from the dust again.
The East Lincoln League deserves
well for putting on so remarkable a
program. If the league would drop the
east from its name and continue fur
nishing such a platform as it gave
Congressman Stephens and Professor
Hrbkova this week and Edgar Howard
and R. B. Howell at its previous meet
ing, it might develop Into a Lincoln
Cooper Union. From Nebraska State
