THE ART EXHIBIT
There are about seventy-five attrac
tive pictures, Including water colors
and other paintings In the exhibit in
the art gallery. The water colors are
especially attractive. Among these
there are a number by foreign artists,
especially Italians.
The. collection of pictures covers a
wider range historically than any ex
hibit the gallery has had. An example
of the very old type is "Calling the
Ferryman," by Ridgway Knight. The
picture is valued at $3,000. There is
also a very characteristic picture by
Inness, "The Woodland Interior,"
which portrays an excellent study in
browns.
There are two cauvasses by Waugh,
one of the greatest marine artists in
the country. Bucklin's "Moonlight In
the Adirondacks," is another of the
well known and valuable pictures of
the collection.' Included In the ex
hibit are Irving Couse's "In Ambush,"
and a small "Sleeping Fawn," by Rosa
Bonheur.
This collection, is a very excellent
one and students will not regret any
time spent seeing it. The gallery is
open from 9 until 5 o'clock.
AN ERROR
The Daily Nebraskan is very glad
to correct an error in Friday's issue.
We stated that Dr. Clapp came to
Nebraska as head of men's department
and that at that time the men and
women's departments were separated.
The University catalog of that time
does state on one page that Dr. Clapp
was director of men's gymnasium
while a woman was director of the
women's gymnasium. Several pages
ahead in a separate section of the
book Dr. Clapp is given as professor
of physical education while the direc
tor of the women's gymnasium is ad
junct professor. We sincerely regret
the error.
SOCIALISTS AND THE WAR
J. E. LeRossignol
Socialists are in principle opposed to
war, but in practice they are not much
belligerent than other people. For less
years they have talked about the "gen
eral strike" which was to crush war
in its initial stages; but when the
world war broke out most of them
took sides with their own country, and
only a few extreme theorists were
able to keep their theoretical balance.
The war of words was over, for the
sword had been flung- into the scales.
If socialism had been indigenous to
America, the outbreak of war would
have found most people of that stripe
lined up with their fellow-citizens in
defense of American rights and of the
American conception of human liberty.
Unfortunately, socialism is a foreign
product, for the most part made in
Germany, and we find many sociialists
siding with their native land against
the land of their adoption; and many
others, though not actively disloyal,
practicing their acrobatic internation
ism while the world is aflame.
As might have been expected, the
war has caused a wide division in the
ranks of the socialist party in the
United States. At the St. Louis con
vention in April, 1D17, a majority re
port was adopted denouncing the gov
ernment of the United States for
entering the war and recommending
that socialists obstruct the conduct of
war as much as possible. They are
advised to oppose conscription, mili
tary training in the schools, the issue
of war loans, and the export of food,
and to carry on the class struggle
even more vigorously than before. The
majority report received 141 votes,
while the Spargo report. Justifying the
war, received only five votes.
However, the minority opinion has
gained in strength as the issues of the
war have beei. more clearly perceived.
From the beginning It was supported
by socialists of the American type.
ttcii a-s Charlotte Pterkins Gilman,
William English Walling, I'pton Bin
clalr. William J. Ghent and Charles Ed
ward Russell; and the threats of the
majority, including Marrls HJUqult.
Victor Berger and Adolph Germer.
have not been fully carried out. A few
quotations from a protest issued on
the eve of the convention will Indl
cate the attitude of the minority:
"We feel that the present opposl
tion of the socialist party to national
defense is contrary to the interest! of
democracy and contrary to the hither
to accepted views of the international
socialist movement. We are for
peace, but not at ny cost; and be
lieve that the sacrifice of integrity and
of general public and private self re
spect Is too high a price to pay for It.
Our country belongs to a family of na
tions and must assume its share of
responsibility for the maintenance of
Just International relations. To refuse
to resist international crime Is to be
unworthy of the name of socialist. It
is our present duty to the cause of
internationalism to support our gov
ernment In any sacrifice it requires in
defense of those principles of interna
tional law and order which are essen
tial alike to socialism and to civiliza
tion."
THE FORUM
The Daily Nebraskan will
print in the Forum signed com
munications addressed to the

bility for the 6ame. The editor
reserves the right to reject all

The Nebraskan believes that
free and open discission is bene
ficial and for that reason wel
comes communications on time

and faculty members The sig

upon application to the editor,
but will not be printed if so de
sired. SOCIETY
