Maaim groups in the United States, as there re in many nations. But the best method of preventing the spread of their doctrines is not suppression An example that has been used in numerable times is again cited here In London, it is said, anyone may preach anything he pleases to any one who will listen, and adequate po lice protection will be given him. This very leniency of the government in permitting to everyone a chance "to say his say" has served to lessen any interest the conservative people of the kingdom may have had in radi calism. a To return to the original theme, it hardly seems in good taste to joVe in treatment of a subject that re quires the most serious of treatment; more especially so when that light ness can serve only to obscure the issue and to unsettle those who do not understand what the argument is about START AT "THE TOP." "College graduates expect to step from college directly into an executive position as a result of the feeling that a colloge edu cation leads directly to the top of the ladder by a mysterious short cut in which the rungs have'' been moved," states Charles M. Thompson, in his essay, "The College Man and His Job." As a matter of fact, Mr. Thompson is almost completely justified in his statement, because the popu lar idea of a college training to day is that its effect should be both immediate and pronounced. The Syracuse Daily Orange. m In this attempt to state a general truth both Mr. Thompson and The Syracuse Daily Orange express a somewhat antiquated idea. There are some college graduates who do ex pect to start in "right at the top," just as there are many persons, not college graduates, who expect ad ' vancement in the business world with out working for it. But, as a class; college graduates are not exception ally egoistic College men have been told for so many years! that- when they were graduated they would expect promo tion without further effort, that many of them have come to accept that as a statement of fact. They do not dispute it; the preceding clip ping shows that they sometimes ad vance it as an original thought. Such statements are, on the con trary, not statements of fact, or col lege men would not condemn them selves so utterly for thinking what they are told they think when they have been graduated. "The popular idea," says the Syracuse paper, is that the effect of a college training should "be both immediate and pro nounced." That is true, but the col lege graduate does not entertain the popular idea. Upperclassmen and college gradu ates look at the matter differently. The longer they go to college, the more do they realize that they can never learn from books and profes sors enough to enable them to step out of college directly to the top rung of the ladder to which Mr. Thompson refers. They do believe, however, they will progress more rapidly, once the start has been made, than a man who has not had the advantages of college training. That belief is warranted. The College Press A LESSON IN DISGUISE. The symposium of crossword puz zle news on this page has a purpose. Thas two purposes. The first is, of course, to entertain those stu dents and faculty members who per sist in the inane pastime, and the other is to teach everyone a lesson The lesson is, that nothing is too trivial to find defenders, and nothing can have defenders without having denouncers. In our time we have been among the former; while we are not now openly against puzzles, we merely may be even among the de nouncers. This is the course of fads. But to get back to the original les son. Crossward puzzles were started as an amusement, and no thought was at first given to them as mighty educational forces, or even as prac tical lessons in increasing the vocab ulary. As practiced by the intelli gentzia who first worked them, they were harmless and pleasurable. As worked by the bourgeoise they are fit subjects for congressional investigation. For the bourgeoise can take noth ing in moderation. They must go the whole hog or none, as sour grand mothers used to say in the old days, those of our grandmothers who spoke English. And because they must go to extremes, they must find some ex cuse for so doing. That excuse comes from the learned professors who talk solemnly about the educational val ues, and who offer credits for puz zles made up in Latin. Accordingly the debate has grown, end what was once a game threatens to divide savants into camps of bitter enemies. We sometimes find even our own complacency ruffled. Ohio State Lantern. THAT LETTER. The letter in the student opinion column today seems to be a subtle effort to "kid" those who read it. Some of the doctrines it champions are so preposterous that the writer of that letter is suspected of trying to turn the student opinion column into a "colyum" of jokes. In short Mr. Gaffney is suspected of a mis chievous attempt to permit his super intelligence to shine through the lines of his letter to other super-intelligences, so that they may laugh at the ludicrously ineffectual efforts of common mortals to take life seri ously. a It is a commonly accepted notion perhaps unfortunately so that a man writes for the public opinion column of a newspaper, to be pub lished over his name, only that which he sincerely believes. And again, there are many who believe that sup pression is the best weapon to use against radicals, as the letter advo cates. So, the course that is at once the safest and the most hazardous is to answer this letter seriously. In considering the text of the let ter disregarding the motives which may have prompted its writing it is pointed out that the editorials quoted did not state that, because it ia not organized with a definite creed, Jbe Youth Movement has tak en no deep root in America. And, since this statement was not made, H cannot be said that the same state ment was assumed to be proff that the movement Is not bolshevik-inspired. Thtre are dangerously radical comes forth to say, all too subtle and insidious; it is, to change the figure slightly, akin to the worms whjch eat the wooden foundation-piles of a tall tower and eventually cause it to crumble. If allowed to continue, the Youth Movement will undermine our government and supplant it by an anarchy equalled only by the Russian Soviet. This is, of course, there aim, but they must not be allowed to ac complish it The proposed alliance of youth with the workers in the opening strokes of a fight for liberty indicates an avowed intention of overthrowing our free government. As to the statement about a sugar coated presentation of the "free love" idea, it is not even sugar-coated; it is a bald statement of fact. The Minnesota Daily, in the same issue of the Nebraskan, is quoted as ridiculing Dr. Frank Crane. This is another proof of the Bolshevistic tendency in the colleges. The stu dents disregard the moralists who point out the way to go to save the nation. Most of all, I desire the sup pression of these vile, insidious, low books of Upton Sinclair's. We must have order rather than monarchy. WILBU !R G. GAFFNEY. J Notices Scabbard and Blade. Meeting Thursday at 7:30 in Ne braska Hall 205. Kappa Phi.

Student Opinion FEARS YOUTH MOVEMENT. To the Editor: You are dismissing the Youth Movement question too lightly. You say that it has "evidently taken no deep root in America" simply be cause it is not organized with a defi nite creed. This does not, as you seem to believe, disprove the state ment as to its Bolshevik origin. It actually proves it An organization with no leaders who are known, and no officers upon whom evils can be blamed, seeks certainly to undermine the nation's youth. There are books, such as "The Goose-Step," by Upton Sinclair, which are allowed to remain in college libraries and inject their dangerous socialistic doctrines into the growing minds of the students. Even the University of Nebraska per mits a copy of "The Goose-Step" to be read by its students. There is an annually growing ten dency among students to deplore the activities of the nation's business men, and protest against the existing social system. This can be caused by nothing except a growing leaning toward Socialism. In a progressive college, in a progressive city, we cannot allow such beliefs to spread. The socialistic tendency is, as the Military Order of the World War saus-- "To be out of style is to be dead" and you know how everyone dislikes dead things, don't you? To be in style you simply must wear u Co-eds or, in other words, Rock ford Hose for girls. They're at the height of Fashion's peak now. Wear Co-eds instead of your old goloshes.
