FOR A FREE PRESS.
Dr. Oswald Garrison Villard's
stand against the tendency to con
solidate newspapers, at the convoca
tion Tuesday, seems well founded in
that he strikes at what is probably
the root of the common delusion
that all news stories are contamina
ted. The fact that one man can own
a chain of newspapers has led many
to believe that there is a super-organization,
called the Associated
Press, controlled by the capitalist
class.
The Associated Press is nothing
more than a co-operative organiza
tion of publishers such that every
member is bound to furnish all news
from his district to every other mem
ber who cares to use it Yet the no- J
tion of a prejudiced press persists
in the minds of the masses, and the
consolidation of newspapers serves
to lend body to the idea.
Dr. Villard said that the blind par
tisanship of the past is disappearing,
however, and that the ogressive
party of Senator La Follette has re
ceived fair treatment by metropoli
tan papers in news stories of its ac
tivities. The gradual concentration of the
control of wealth in the hands of a
few has encouraged consolidation of
the press. While this has tended to
create a sameness of editorial and
news policies, a counter-acting force
is appearing, Dr. Villard believes.
The problem will work itsef out, he
said, because of the increasingly in
sistent demand of the people for oa
biased news.
Ten Years Ago
Memorial Hall was filled with stu
dents and faculty members, says The
Daily Nebraskan, who came to hear
the first Beethoven Symphony played
by Mrs. Carrie Raymond and a string
quartet.
The Board of Regents requested
the Chancellor to make public their
statement supporting the neutrality
proclamation of President Wilson.
The statement was made after con
sideration of a letter written them
by Col. John G. Maher, published in
the papers of October 5, in which he
protested strongly against a speech
made by Prof. F. M. Fling at chapel
September 29. Colonel Maher said
that Professor Fling had violated
the neutrality proclamation and had
urged the students to take sides.
A freshman was taken into custo
dy by the Lincoln police but released
in the morning. He was arrested by
a special officer who had been sta
tioned in the gallery of the Oliver
theater. The officer said the fresh
man had dangled a cord over the rail
ing to the annoyance of the theater
goers below.
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
October 9 has been set for Tradition

Tradition Day is to explain to the

Twenty Years Ago
The football team met Colorado at
Denver. The account in The Daily
Nebraskan does not say what Colo
rado university the Cornhuskers met.
Colorado won, 6 to 0, when Benedict
fumbled on his 30-yard line and the
western team carried the ball across
on straight line bucks.
Nebraska three times had the ball
on the Colorado 4-yard line, but was
held for downs. The Colorado
coaches had insisted on 35-minute
halves, and the Nebraskans and the
Denver papers concurred in the opin
ion that the rare atmosphere kept the
Huskers from scoring.
The second team was to meet a
football aggregation from East Lin
coln in place of the Hastings College
team. The Hastings school cancelled
the game at the last minute. No ac
count of the outcome is given in The
Daily Nebraskan files.
College Press
HEADS IN THE STARS.
Rarely do magazine articles appear
which are as thought-provoking, or
as fine and lofty in their spirit, as
that which Professor Irwin Edman
has written for the October Century.
It is 'entitled "Richard Kane Goes to
College," and in it Professor Edman,
with courage and frankness, asks
"Are Our American College Teachers
Corrupters of Youth?"
His RkhaTd Kane is not a typical
college man. There are many Rich
ard Kanes in every American college,
however. His natural appreciation
for philosophy, literature and art is
more outstanding than his creative
genius, or his excellence in any one
field. Vkhen Commencement comes,
however, Richard Kane is utterly un
fit to go out and tarn his daily bread.
He has so much association with the
great poets and philosophers that
journalism, business, law, medicine,
all seem to him to be mean and cheap
and sordid.
The explanation of Richard Kane's
predicament is a s imple one, accord
ing to Professor Edman. The fau't
is chiefly that the professors cf lit
erature, art and philosophy are too
academic, too impractical in their
outlook, while other professors, in
the professional echook,. turn out
thousands of students li)e t-o many
boiler-plates or Ford cars.
What our colleges must do, then,
is to link up the ideals and inspira
tion of Richard Kane with the practi
cal world of every-day affairs. It is
for the people with the artistic, sen
sitive, beauty-loving natures to make
their vision tell in the world outside.
Why is it that corruption occasion
ally flourishes in popular govern
ments? It is partly because the peo
ple with vision refuse to do their
civic duty. Richard Kane would no
doubt sneer at politics; his attitude is
that it is too rotten for him to touch.
Likewise with journalism; why do
Hearsts and their like flourish, while
honest and high-minded journalist,
travel a rocky road? There are not
enough Richard Kanes to enlist in the
profession and thereby elevate its
standards. Our Richard Kanes
should be conserved. They should
be in politics; they should be in joui
nalism; they should fortify and
strengthen business, the professions,
and those fields of endeavor which
need a spark of the Richard Kane
spirit. j
Professor Edman has hinted at a
solution for Richard Kane's troubles. I

As a football player
he's a good poet
LET'S admit that all men are not born for
J gridiron honors, just as all men are not
born poets.
You can admire a man's grit for plugging
away at the thing that comes hardest to him.
He does derive benefit in developing himself
where he is weakest. But to achieve real success
it is only common wisdom to pick out the line
for which you have a natural aptitude and go
to it.
Particularly if you are a freshman it may be
useful to remind you of this principle, because
it can help you start off on the right foot in both
your campus activities and your college courses.
If your fingers love the feel of a pencil, why
not obey that impulse and come out for the
publications? You can serve Alma Mater and
yourself better as a first-class editor than a third
class halfback.
Similarly, when it comes to electing your col
lege courses, you will be happier and more effi
cient if you choose in accordance with your
natural aptitude.
The world needs many types of men. Find
your line, and your college course will be a prep
aration for a greater success.
