A LESSON IN PATRIOTISM
resident Wilson's address to the nation gives every American
a true lesson in patriotism. It should sink Into the heart of every
student and every faculty member of the University, for this body,
with its superior training, broader outlook, and greater capabilities,
must set the example for others less fortunate.
This is a hard time for the young men of th nation. Al
though the women will do their part, and do it nobly, the choice
for the voung man is much more difficult to make, and upon
him, after all. will the brunt of sacrifice fall. The hope that is
in the breast of every man in the University is to do the most
that he can for the United States, his country, his flag. His
impulse is to give of all that he has. freely, and he only wants
to know how he can give most effectively.
The message of the president is a help to the solution of this
problem. He points out that not only in the army is there a
chance for service, and for service that is noble, self-sacrificing,
valuable and patriotic. To speed up production in industry, to
increase the produce from the farms, to set an example of economy,
industry, and calm in this period of stress men who do these
things, declares President Wilson, "will be as much a part of the
great patriotic forces of the nation as the men under fire."
The University man should not think that he must rush blindly
into the army to show that he is a patriotic American. Let him
think, and with love for the nation and its ideals in his heart, and
is bart and his conscience will soon point to him the right thing
to do. Hut first and foremost, h should not permit the pettiness
of r.arro minds to shake his confidence in his country, his faith
that when it takes up the sword it does so for a cause that is just.
THE NEBRASKAN POLICY
The Nebraskan has endeavored to show no favor in giving stu
dent opinion free expression through its columns. Frtr that rea
son the Forum column has ben kept open to communications, even
when the judgment of the editors was that the better end would
be served by not printing them.
Professor Persino-r's communication in yesterday's issue is the
lasr of that nature that The Nebraskan will print. Our country is
at war, and it is now the duty of every citizen to support that
war vkh every faculty he possesses. Expressions of that sort are
an injustice to the men who have done their best to support their
nation in its preat crisis.
They are an injustice to such a man as Chancellor Avery,
who some time ago freely effered his services to the government
in ar,y way that he ould be used, and suggested that his expert
knowledge of chemistry would make him most valuable in a muni
tions factory employment as dangerous as that of a soldier in the
trenches, and the most dangerous service yet to be opened to an
American. The chancellor and other men haw done this, and
have said nothing about it for their patriotism is of the kind that
gives and does not ask that others give first.
So The Nebraskan will no longer print communications of .any
sort that smack of disloyalty to the nation's end. Far better
would it be for those who have the ability to write them, to turn
that writing ability to supporting their government, supporting it
in its hour of need, than to seek to impede it.
The Nebraskan has ample precedent in metropolitan and college
newspapers in its stand that whoever wants to give publicity to
thoughts that are un-American must assume that responsibility for
himself. The Nebraskan will no longer do so.
APPRECIATION OF THE FINER THINGS
The University is particularly fortunate, in this time wlun all
thoughts are turned toward a grim war, in the vxhibition of the
Nebraska Art association in the University art gallery. Every stu
dent should avail himself of the opportunity to go many times to
F(( these pictures, 'and the association has generously agreed to
sell tickets to students, that will admit them at any time to the
gallery for r.0 cents.

The H. C. of L.
I used to be inspired by spring,
Ecstatic verse I wrote;
But his year, not a mediocre thing
I sorely ned a mustard coat.
Last spring, o'erwbelmed by Nature's
cheer,
I sang tho charm of vale and flat
But then a woman was'nt queer
Without a high-priced pumpkin hat.
I know this spring is just like last,
But I can't arouse the muse;
For now I know I'll lose my cast.
Unless I get some duck-egg shoes.
Edythe W.hyman.
