Mr. Page was not interested, as
a professional reformer, in the
trifling expense entailed in the per
formance of his "services." But.
the editor of a magazine does face
a very serious economic problem.
This is especially the case in times
like the present, and, more espe
cially the case with a magazine
that seeks to circulate radical no-
lions among people whose habits!
are unfriendly toward radicalism, j
It was min h better business for i
Mr. Page to apply the sums re- i
reived from the student foium!
commission to the bolstering up of
his subscription list, than to the
l ep ment of expense-? that had
lx-'-n paid, already, by the variou" .

The Consecrated
Status (J no.
IK are printing in these col
' unins toeiay a message de
signed to save the youth of the
university from the subversive doc
trines as enunciated recently on
this campus hy Kirhy Page. Pro
fessor Cunningham, a colonel in
the army during the war, who is
still actively connected with the
training of young men in methods
of war, takes occasion to cry "be
ware" to the students on account
of the efforts of Mr. Page "to de
stroy things which the wisdom of
a sane people has established and
the support of sane people has
consecrated to the public good."
These consecrated things to
which Professor Cunningham re
fers will be readily recognized as
such organizations as the R. O. T.
C, the citizens military training
camps, the regular army, and a
big navy. Those who heard Kirhy
Page m his speech here will re
member that he is a firm believer
in the idea that peace can never
be attained so long as the world
and the nations of the world per
petuate' the "war system." as he
calls it. In other word? Kirby
Page is against the R. O. T. C. the
b)g navy. t ie. He is against every
thing which i- in any way a recog
nition of war as an instrument of
national policy.
This in brief is the occasion for
jjofessor Cunningham's warning

a n,j,.;,p, n this Tape rson is.

peace, a doctrine held by all mili

Branding him as a "professional
reformer" and a "radical" is in no
way answering or refuting Mr. :

Youth is to be congratulated cm
still being in the "formative pe
riod." Not too soon, we hope, will
its ideas become so fixed that it
looks with honor on anyone ad
vancing new ideas or doctrines
which do not conform 100 percent
with the ideas of the sons ant!
daughters of the revolution, and
other "patriots."
IN our opinion it is a vastly more
dangerous situation when college
professors and students arc in
clined to thrust a stopper in the
mouths of those with whom they
disagree, than when they are will
ing to allow "professional reform
ers" to freely disseminate their
doctrines. We should prefer to see
a thousand such reformers than
one individual who is thoroughly
imbued with the ic?ea that what
ever is is right.

Contemporary
Comment
Mitre Deserved
Appreciation.
Number 1 of Volume 7 of the
Prairie Schooner has just been
published. It is a .surprising thing
that the moeiest literary quarterly
of Nebraska university should
have lived so long. A good many
magazines of wide appeal have
fallen by the wayside in the past
seven years. That the Prairie
Schooner has lived and continues
to live indicates that there is vir
ility in the literary aspirations of
the prairie country.
One who picks up the magazine
with its poems and short stories
and essays may be disappointed in
it, at first- It is not at all like
Liberty or the Saturday Kvcning
Post. It hasn't any pictures. Its
short stories rarelv deal with the
glamorous beauties who are the
heroines of the popular writers.
The occasional re ader may be com
pletely mystified at the magazine's
leng life.
But when one watches it for
several issues, he Virgins to tinder
stand. Here are people writing
who are not so concerned with cap
turing the popular fancy as with
saying something that moves them
dee-ply, or with interpreting bits of
the life of this west as it has un
folded before them. They are not,
usually, polished writers: but they
are, nearly always, writers who
have something to say, and who
are striving to say il honestly. Be
cause it knows its role and strives
so hard to fulfill its mission, be
cause it has no pretensions, the
Prairie Schooner thrives in a mod
est way. Congratulations are due
the chapter of Sigma Upsilon fra
ternity which sponsors it, the uni
versity which helps sustain it, and
L. C. Wimberly, who edits it.
