THE IMPORTANCE
OF REGISTERING
This week is the last week- of reg
istration of voters in the city of Lin
coln. You can register at the city
hall during office hours and between
the hours of 7 and 9 o'clck in the eve
ning. Registration and the subsequent
voting is a serious duty. The person
who neglects the opportunity of vot
ing at any popular election is refus
ing a privilege for which our fore
fathers fought during the Revolution.
Furthermore, the man who neglects to
Vote cannot consistently attack any
laws during the next administration.
He cannot be heard to object to any
taxes levied. He has waived his right
to good government when he refused
to do his best to put the best men in
office. , i
The election of 1916 will long be re
membered as an important one botlr
in the state and the nation. In both
instances the people must indirectly
pass upon the most serious issues that
have faced them for some time. The
state has the right to call upon its.
educated men and women to assist
'in the solving of. these important
problems. It has the right to insist
that the students, whom it is educat
ing for the tasks of citizenship," come
to its aid at this time. Yet it is met
constantly with the reply that poli
tics is too dirty for a decent man,
that the honest man don't care who
gets the plums.
If you wish to have a hand in your
own affairs, if you desire to pay the
state the only compensation it asks
in return for your education citizen
ship register and vote at the coming
elections.

COMPOS
MENTIS
A LAMENT
When Winter's snows first went away,
And Spring brought out the bees,
My heavies I did casf aside,
And donned my beeveedees.
And now the winter winds return
And blow and blast and freeze;
And' though I'm cold where'er I go,
I'll keep my beeveedees.
For woe to him who gets tco fresh,
And deems that Spring for good is
here;
His frionds all stand aside and laugh
And hoot and shout and jeer.
But I will be quite brave and bold,
And sit around and freeze,
Though my limbs do quake, I'll ne'er
forsake
(gosh-darn)
My (dear old) beeveedees.
(blithsome)
But when a year from now, my friends
On Spring's advances do rely,
I'll sadly smile, and shake my head,
Wearing my heavies till late July.
George: Take your choice
Editor Poem Above: We chose our
own, and are content to let others
do the same. We don't know, and
we don't care whether yours are
"gosh-darn," "dear old" or "blltb7
some," so long as oursaro warm.
