THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Lobbying
By "Al"
I wrote to a friend in Hollywood
the other day and asked him why
Greta Garbo was so popular. He
answered, "Well, Al, I don't know.
But since you ask, I would call her
America's Suppressed Desire."
whatever that means.
During the last six months 5970
girls have exhausted their patience
and their financial resources, waiting
for a "break" in thei magic empire
of our country, the studios of Holly
wood. Though there were undoubt
edly many screen "gems" (in the
rough) among their ranks, they were
not "found." Foolish girls. They
spent six months (some of them will
probably spend six months more) and
much money in a vain attempt to
realize an ambition that almost all
persons have or have had some time
in the past. If you would try your
luck, try the advice of a well known
director. "Take your savings" he
says, "and make a hundred foot
trial.' That means buy a hundred
feet of film, or more if you can af
ford it, and hire a camera man to
"shoot" you in the various poses
which you feel will show your form
and ability to the best advantage.
When the directors want a certain
typef rather than go out on the lot
and choose from the extras that roam
theme, they make their selections
from these trial shots. Pretty good
advice at that.
After much figuring, I believe that
I have solved a problem that has
been bothering theatre owners for a
long time. .. The problem of moving
from the center of a row without
molesting or obstructing the view of
other patrons. Have every seat
equipped .with an electric button.
When the patron desires to leave, he
presses the button and the seat auto
matically lowers itself into the base
ment which is fixed like a subway.
AH that remains is for some en
gineer to draft blue prints of a feas
ible mechanism. Wait a minute.
That wouldn' t Work in T..nrnln EV

Vote Over Missouri

cent debate and I enjoyed it very
much," stated Judge Wijsoii, after
the ballot had been cast. Missouri
was represented by two' diminutive,
dynamic speakers, who. commanding
the interest of the audience, areued
that the rights of individuals were
being taken away by authoritative
designs of the government. The first
speaker for the affirmative began
his discussion of the question by de
claring his three points for argu
ment He stated that, first the indi
vidual does have rights, second, that
these rights have been violated bv
the national government, and third,
that this is a deplorable tendency on
the part of the government.
He cited as a specific example of
national corruptness, in his opinion,
the American Protective League.
which was authorized by the Depart
ment of Justice to read the wivate
mail of individuals, open their safes
for inspection, and in other ways,
was his contention, that this league
infringed upon the rights of individ
uals.
Debs Case Considered
The case of Eugene V. Debs was
brought into consideration by the af
firmative, because Debs was thrown
into jail for expressing his beliefs on
political questions. Ao late as 1920.
the speaker contended, private detec
tives, working under the authority of
the government, entered homes with
out warrants and further infringed
upon individual rights. He summed
up his constructive presentation, and
maintained that the national and
state governments were attempting
to regulate the study and teaching
of history.
Representing Nebraska, Reginald
C. Miller gave the first constructive
presentation for the negative. He
began his argument by declaring that
today the United States is an ad
vanced nation end fetl the need for
a complex form of government. In
his opinion, the United States must
change her government with her ad
vancement, and the individualist's
form of government must be chanced
to a modern conception. j
- Changing Standards
He commented upon the philosonhv
of the individual as belonging, in
some respects, to our fore-fathers,
and that the United States was no,
longer composed of thirteen jealous
provinces, isolated from each other!
by the lack of adequate transporta
tion. We are now citizens of a na
tion, Mr. Miller, declared, in the true
sense of the word, and must act in
harmony with national law. In the
course of his argument, he expressed
his belief that with the industrial
revolution, about two per cent of the
population of the nation controlled
the governing power, and with this
radical change in our lives, our gov
ernment and privileges must be regulated.
This change in the system of life,
he stated, has brought many new
problems which the people must face.
The problems of traffic regulation,
labor, manufacturing, trusts, taxa
tions, sanitation, and child welfare,
for example are all a result of this
industrial change. He contended
that if society must undergo such a
manifold change, government has to
change, and the "gentlemen from
Missouri" must show where this tend
ency is deplorable.
Mast Be Balance
Mr. Pollock, the next speaker for
the affirmative, stated, "we realize
that there has been a change, into a
complex v society, but there must be
a balance between social tendencies,
the government, and individual
rights." He cited the case of the
school teacher in Tennessee who was
arrested and convicted because he
taught the science of evolution,
which was not in accordance with
the law of the state. He also brought
up the case of the anti-cigarette law
which was passed and later repealed
in the state of Kansas.
He declared, that while this law
was in effect, hundreds of people
were made law-breakers because they
smuggled cigarettes into the state,
and offered proof to show that the
cigarette consumption of the middle
was for that period was increased
half again over the original con
sumption. "Legal restraint made
moral restraint," in his opinion is
not true. In answer to Mr. Miller's
statement, he declared that he had
shown that government control on
the rights of the individual is de
plorable. Fellman Refutes
As the last speaker on the
negative side of the question, David
Fellman stated that the contentions
of the "gentlemen from Missouri"
were in regard to war-time and were
unusual. He related how, during this
frenzied period of time, had not the
government assumed superior rights
over the individual, our civilization
might have been swept away before
the onslaught of the militarism of
Prussia.
He upheld his former statement
by adding that the case mentioned
by his opponents happened during
the war-scare. In answer to a former
statement concerning the limitation
of the teaching of history, he main
tained that this was only in the case
of children. "Should the children of
America, who are not of the age to
understand, be taught by those dis
senters, that the government of the
United States is an inferior one?"
questioned Mr. Fellman.
Audience Has Discussion
He continued his argument by say
ing that if the Federal Trade Com
mission has erred in a few instances,
there is no reason why it should be
abolished, without consideration of
the enormous good it does for the
country. Over two-thirds of the
states, he stated, had prohibition be
fore the national amendment was
ratified, "What would better indi
cate public opinion?"
After the close of the refutation,
which allowed each speaker to have
six minutes of rebuttal, a discussion
was carried on in the audience, and
a few questions were asked of the
Missouri and Nebraska debaters.
Prof. H. O. White, instructor in the
debating department, was time-keeper
for the speakers. He announced
that the University debating team
would continue the debates as they
were scheduled. Scarcely more than
sixty people attended the debate, the
majority of those present takintr
part in the discussion.
