The formation of the LaFollette Wheeler club completes the political organization of the University. The Davis and Bryan club and the Re publican club already exist. This ' type of organization i3 one that has done no harm so far, and has resulted in some good. It is probable that every student of voting age will cast his ballot this fall, for that is the evident purpose of the clubs. Others will acquire an interest in national politics that should make them active citizens when they become of age. The bringing of prominent speak ers of every political faith to the University is one of the most impor tant achievements of these organiza tions. And these clubs do not fall in the class of time-wasters of which the University has many. They do not take up the students' time with "so cial functions" of the Tammany hn!l pattern, and they do not hold busi ness meetings at which inconsequen tial details are discussed. It is too bad to waste space on such a contribution as that which ap pears in the student opinion column today over the signature, "A 'Barb' with a satisfactory seat." The let ter was signed in accordance with announced requirements of The Daily Nebraskan, and so, it appears in print. In future, however, con tributors, in person, must hand their letters to the editor. The general trend of thought in that letter is confused and obscured by poor rhetorical construction and bad faults in grammar and para graphing. It seems to be intended as a satire upon the fraternity system in the University and the competi tive business world. The connection between the two is not njade clear. One idea that can be grasped is an evident suggestion that fraterni ties wait until all non-fraternity per sons have secured their seats, before making reservations in the stadium for the football season. There is no reason in this suggestion, for a fun damental principle of democracy is "first come, first served," in such things as seat reservations. The "fundamental principles of competition" certainly apply to the question, as the letter suggests. The Daily Nebraskan makes no effort to defend the present competitive bus iness world. If the ''Barb with a sat isfactory seat" wants to suggest a new order, he should be, able to do so without dragging the question ir relevantly into the simple matter of reserving seats in the stadium. juotations be justified except that .hey give special advantage to cer in interests? The plan to have an export cor poration created to take care of our marketable surplus of wheat, en dorsed by Senator Howell, is vir tually the same thing as John W. Davis and the Democratic party are advocating. In other words, Sena tor Howell admits the disease (the tariff) and advocates a cure which his own party has rejected when the ReDublican conirress defeated the McNary-Haugen bill. Nothing was said in defense of the special privilege proposals of this ad ministration; the Mellon tax bill, the ship subsidy bill, and others. Mr. Howell admitted that President Cool- idge is a "hard-shelled conservative." What has he to say about the prime issue of the campaign "Hon esty in Government?" What about Teapot Dome, Denby, Daugherty, Fall, and Forbes? Senator Howell, being an honest man, recognizes the deplorable situation in connection with the oil scandals and tactfully avoids the subject to praise such measures as the budget bill which was tnKen aimosi entirety irom me budget outline proposed by President Wilson but rejected during his term by a Republican congress. Of course we are all for the budget. It is not an issue. But why doesn't Senator Howell try to explain these concrete chnrges made by Davis and LaFoll-ette. "The fight is between Coolidge and Davis." he says, and he is right If we do not believe in the tariff, the foreign policy of this administration, the Mellon tax bill, and other special privilege measures of the last three years; if we do not want to go on record as endorsing wanton corrup tion and gross carelessness of public trust, our only alternative is to vote for John W. Davis. A DEMOCRAT. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Six fraternity houses were recent ly raided by the Berkeley police for "souvenirs" of the preceding semes- tar. The following? articles were found: One "No Parking" sign, four teen red railroad lanterns, one ad vertisement from a local moving pic ture house, one ."Stop, Look and Lis ten" sism. and three clay busts ol prominent men. . UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO Eighteen freshmen will be brought up before a special court for viola tion of University traditions. Charg es range from smoking on the campus and failure to salute professors to absence of green caps. TCWNSEND Portrait Photograph er. Notices Notice. The nature of a letter received Saturday makes it necessary that, in the future, every letter to the stu dent opinion column be handed by the writer to the editor. ' Student Opinion , A DEMOCRAT. TO THE EDITOR: Senator Howell's address Saturday was a good argument why we should all vote the Democratic ticket. He devoted most of his time to discuss ing the agricultural question and to showing that the farmer is econom ically at a disadvantage. Without at tempting to give any concrete reme dy he showed that the great problem for the farmer is how to get a price for his farm products commensurate with what he pays for his staple com modities. The Democrats claim that the prof iteer tariff is largely responsible for this condition. Senator Howell vir tually admitted that the tariff was to blame. Only he did not go into de tail. He neglected te mention any of the following increased duties brought about by the Fordney-Me-C'umber Tariff: V.'ool clothing, 76 per cent above the level of 1914; men's woolen coats, f 5 to $15; sugar. $216,000,000 per year; hardware, 35 per cent ad valorem; house furniture. 45 per cent ad valorem. It is almost universally conceded by economist that when a duty is imposed on a commodity, the pnee of that com modity rises by the amount of the d.ify. Or? lii theory cad tha above HAS A GOOD SEAT. To the Editor: It doesn't surprise me to find a few so-called "barbs" who object to the advantages that their "Irat brothers and sisters have taken in se curing choice seats at the stadium. If these same "barbs" belonged to a "f rat" it is certain that not one would possess enough individuality to stand up in a "frat" meeting where the subject of getting seats in a block was being discussed and say, "Now brothers it wouldn't be democratic ti. try and secure choice seats, let's be good sports and wait until all the freshmen and especially the non-fra ternity people have gotten the best seats, then let's get ours over on the 10-yard line." Oh no, you wouldn t hear him say anything of the sort. He would likely ask the president to del egate him as a committee of one to be at the ticket office at 6:30, on the morning that the tickets were of fered for sale. There must be a little stream of jealousy trickling through these lads veins. They evi dently have never had the honor of being asked to join one of these or ganizations which strive on the mot to, "where there's union there is strength," or they no doubt would be enjoying the next three games from the 50-yard line instead of the 10 yard line. My hat comes off to the fraternities and sororities for their initiative in this matter. They have the true spirit of life "as she is lived" out in the world. They ara learning the fundamental principles of competition upon which every phase of our future livelihood is based. So disappointed "barbs" I suggest that you keep this feeling that you are harboring in mind and if it doesn't correspond to the one that you will no doubt have when you see your competitor getting all the business in the ypnrs that are to come. Moral: Be at the ticket office at 6:15 next year and if you think you can't do that, brush up your best suit and use a little polish on your personality and maybe you can wedge your WBy into a "frat." I am sure they can get you a seat on the 60 yard line. A "BARB," with a satisfactory seat. ON VESPERS. To tha Editor: I have been told that the Vespers services at Ellen Smith Hall are very beautiful religious services and the only touch of religion which is fea tured or allowed on the campus. It has but recently come to my under standing that this service is cata logued as an "activity" and credit is allowed to girls attending it. Many of these girls go merely for the cred it, and treat a religious service with unseemly levity. I wish to protest vigorously against such a cheapening of religion. Why not give credit, then, for attending church services on the Sabbath or at tending Christian Endeavor society meetings? Placing a religious matter in the catalog as an "activity" is an intolerable sort of laughing at God, and should by no means be allowed. There are many useless societies at the University. Why cannot the people who are honest in their reli gion and who do not indulge in it for points of credit band together and either make it a serious matter or abolish such a painful travesty on Christianity? Really, a progressive university in a Christian nation shocld not allow such things as his to exist There it no word for it but "horrible.' Yours for an honestly Christian university, WILBUR G. GAFFNEY. Monocle Club. The Monocle Club will hold its annual meeting in the Lincoln hotel telephone booth 9:30 Friday evening. Refreshments will be served. Journalism 81. New Writing.
