Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as 6econd-class mail, matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. In its Sunday paper the Lincoln State Journal tells the tale of woe of a Lincoln lady who has served in years past as patroness of a Greek letter sorority in the University of Nebraska. In her own words the lady "fairly boiled to think what an easy mark she had been" and to. realize what treatment she had received at the hands of the sorority for whom she was patroness. The case indeed is a lamentable one. We are inclined to think that h is also a personal one. It is possible that the girls were un t hough tful of their benefactor. They evidently accepted favors from her without making the customary demonstration of their gratitude, for the favors they had received when they were allowed to use the "house, best dishes and table furnishings." They left after the party was over without assisting in the work of straightening up the house, and to add insult to injury they took all the flowers and decorations that they could claim with them. Obviously, the girls of that organi zation were guilty of almost unpardonable rudeness. It is not fair, however, to judge all the rest of the sororities, or even that sorority by the example that was set by those girls. Sorority girls, like all girls anywhere in the world, are likely to be inconsid erate of the feelings of others. They are also known to be selfish. They are just girls. Such unmannerly treatment of those whom sorority girls choose to be their sponsors is not the custom. It is their aim to treat them with every courtesy and consideration that they would show to guests of their parents in their own homes. The Journal goes on to ask what will be the future treatment of chaperones. Following is a par agraph from the Journal: "Do the sororities and fraternities of 1919 intend to send tickets to those whom they ask to chaperone pay entertainments? And how do they expect those who preserve the properties for them at dances to come and go in the late evenings? Will automobiles be sent for such chaperones. or must they pay their own taxi hire or walk? These questions are respectfully submitted." Sororities and fraternities are not responsible, as organizations for the attention shown to chaperones at "pay entertainments." In dividuals, not social organizations, are the ones who give subscription or pay entertainments. It is for the persons under whose names such affairs are listed .to look out for the chaperones. and complaints of lak cf courtesy should be made to such Individuals, and not to the groups of which they are members. In the eae of Greek letter formal it is the duty of the organiza tion to provide for the comfort of their chaperone-guests. It is a direct reflection on those who are lax in their efforts to make the evening thoroughlv enjovable for their older guests. Many times chaperones come to parties at some little inconvenience to themselves. They devote an entire evening to the young people and by their presence they lend dignity and poise to the party. better understanding between organizaions and their spon sors' and consideration on the part of the former, and forbearance with the wavs of youth, on the part of the latter, are highly dehirable in order to avoid further mlsunderstandine. and u, assure a brighter future. Ex President Roosevelt left a real metbase for every man and woman in the United States to take to heart. His last public appeal was that the fight for Americanism be kept up and that the ideals for which we have fought and sacrificed be not lost in the myriad o. other interests that will rise into prominence since the war is over. The Nation Jeels the loss of the man bo was vigorously active In bis patriotism. He served the people faithfully as citizens, soldier and statesman. His life was an example of red blooded leadership. He had the courage and the conviction to stad up and fight for that which he thought was right. Those who did not agree with him. politically, could not help but admire the fearlessness of his keen intellect his virile personality, and his staunch patriotism, 'ior many years to come his influence will be felt in the life of the nation.
