Succor!
There was a notice on the first
page yesterday telling: us o bean
Burnett's office on Ag campus. We
will if they furnish the beans.
It's queer how "My good man"
enn become something else by leav
ing out one of the 'o's" in good.
"Frank has started to talk in his
sleep."
"How come?"
"He recited once this morning."
One day as I chanced to pass
A beaver was damning a river
And a, man who had run out of gas
Was doing the same to his flivver.
Ex.
D'you get elected yesterday? Now,
if there is anything I can do!
He Just one more kiss before I
leave.
She No, dear, we haven't time.
Father will be home in an hour.
"I reckon, daughter, that young
man's watch may be fast."
"What makes you think so, Pa."
"Why, when you were seeing him
out the door last night, I heard him
say, 'just one,' and it wasn't much
past 12 o'clock."
Physiology Prof. Why didn't you
come to class today? You missed my
lecture on appendicitis.
She Oh, I'm tired of these organ
recitals.

THE POST MORTEM.
The election Tuesday was one of
the most hotly contested in years.
There was much electioneering and
the total vote east was larger than
for several years. It is right that the
students should exhibit such a lively
interest in the selection of their class
representatives.
The proposal of the Student Coun
cil to establish a point system to
govern university activities was voted I
down, while University women voted
by a arge majority to adopt the point
system. So we may safely deduct
that while the women favored the
point system, the men were opposed
to it.
The freshman and'junior vote on
the point system defeated the propo
sition. The seniors favored its adop
tion, and the sophomore class was
evenly divided, the vote being even.
Now that the excitement of elec
tions are over, and student officers
have been chosen for this year,' the
school can settle down to its accus
tomed calm again.
the worlds best minds is essential to
intellectual growth and progress. We
cannot make the acquaintance of all
great men, but in books we may read
the recorded wisdom of the greatest
men of all ages.
Students in the university will per
haps never again have at their dis
posal so rich a collection of good
books as they have while here. By
acquiring the reading habit now they
will have their tastes for good litera
ture formed and directed into most
profitable channels.
J. C.
for the proper -appreciation of the
press.

HAMILTON HOLT
Hamilton Holt comes to Nebraska
reputed to be one of the foremost lec
turers in America. He comes as a
keen student and active observer of
world politics and as one who was ac
tively on the ground at the peace con
ference. Certainly the students at
Nebraska should pay heed to what he
says.
It is rather unusual and at the same
time highly eomendable when men
can be staunch antagonists politically,
espouse entirely diferent doctrines,
and yet respect thoroughly each
other's integrity and sincerity. It is
therefore bo be regarded as a price
less tribute to his integrity that Ham
ilton Holt is characterized as "intel
lectually honest" and "a gallant fight
er who fights out in the open" by po
litical antagonists such as Senator
Johnson. This is indeed a re
commendation for Mr. Holt. It is one
of the highest compliments he could
receive.
The first and one of the few
speeches that Woodrow Wilson made
after he was stricken with paralysis
in 1919 was made in his study at his
S street home in Washington, sup
ported by a negro attendant, ad
dressed to a delegation of a dozen
proleague republicans headed by Mr.
Holt. Although of different pol
itical parties, Holt and Wilson re
mained true friends up to the bitter's
death a few weeks ago.
Holt feels as Wilson felt that the
future peace of the world depends
upon the creation of international
machinery to settle international dis
putes and to force recalcitrant na
tions to observe the common rules of
justice and decency.
Whether as students we accept this
point of view or not we owe it to our
selves and to our country as an obli
gation of citizenship to study ques
tions such as the League of Nations
with an open mind and a desire to get
at the truth. Hiram Johnson gave us
one side of the question Monday. Let
us hear the other side today and to
morrow from Hamilton Holt. W. B.

THANKS TO THE PUBLIC PRESS.
(Michigan Daily.)
No institution is subject to more
criticism, just and unjust, more virtu
peration, and more distrust than the
daily press. Perhaps this is so be
cause the press appears in the pub
lic eye with so much more regular
ity and frequency than any other
public institution. In fact, appearing
before the public is the very function
of the daily newspaper. Each and
every day, and sometimes often sev
eral times daily the newspaper must
come forth and lay itself open to
attacks, more criticism, and more vi
tuperation. The value of the press in many re
spects is underestimated. To the un
educated it is a source of education;
to the educated it is a medium of in
formation; to society it is a democra
tizing force; to crooked politics it is
a deadly enemy; and to the public
in general it is a humble servant.
Surely such -as these more than com
pensate for the few instances of
"yellow" journalism that crop up now
and then.
Without newspapers it would be
impossible to keep informed of the
important doing3 in the community;
world; inter-national relations would
slip back to the plane which they
occupied two hundred year3 ago;
national politics would be reduced
to mere local issues; powerful oli
garchies would work destruction un
hampered by fear of public exposure
and inter-community trust would be
fostered by ignorance. The daily
press because of its tremendous cir
culation has proved to be a most
deadly enemy to political trickery.
Many so-called shady deals would
escape detection and the tricksters
escape punishment were it not for
the public exposure given of them
through the press.
Because of the practicability of
reaching the masses simultaneously
the daily press is of inestimable value
and so long as it must continue to
depend upon public opinion in gen
eral for support its good services
will go on. But an adequate reali
zation of its functions is necessary

Student Opinion.
THE READING HABIT
To the Editor:
A professor of English recently
spoke to one of his classes about the
desirability of students acquiring the
habit of reading good books while in
college. He urged the necessity of
their continuing their intellectual de
velopment long after leaving the uni
versity. The reading habit is a particularly
valuable one for college men and wo
men to cultivate. Association with
What calling offers you
