c 61 THE NEBRASKAN The state university expects its orutor to win the state contest with groat ease. They have sized up the orators from competing in stitutions, and base their opinion upon the results obtained. Mr. Wing has a heavy trust imposed upon him and no doubt will not disappoint his many admirers. For Sale Cheap : Six orations executed in various ways. These represent the gems of bright thought in th western atmosphere, and are the result of much hard labor and deprivation. They are guaranteed to excel any ever issued from an oration factory, and can be had at a bargain. Inquire of the sec retary of the oratorical association. The Nkuuaskan is a winner. It furnished two orators for the local, and of course one carried oil lirst honors. The defeated editor will devote his undivided attention hereafter It) making the paper a leader in the college journalistic field, while Mr. Wing will be earning inter-state fame, a hundred dollars, and a trip to Columbus, O., during the coming semester. Patriotism and Brotherhood. T. K. WINO. This is :t world of ideals : social, political, intellectual, religious. Toward the fullill ment of these ideals men strive unceasingly. The whole problem of existence is to dis cover the harmony between nature, man and God. The development of the human race toward a more and more perlect realization of this harmony, and of the laws that govern it, is the supreme goal progress. The ever pressing law of human progress demands a constant change of standards in modern life and thought a change always toward the more comprehensive, more truly ideal exist ence.

The modern evolution in in dustry and in intellect is like money at com pound interest. Each generation adds to the principal of human experience, as interest for the use of that principal, deeper thought, broader views, higher ideals. It is the sur plus of our intellectual and spiritual wealth that we have to share with our fellowmen. "A people," says Browning. " is but the at tempt of many to rise to the completer life of one." In this steady growth, radicalism passes rapidly into conservatism. The new becomes old. What was good logic and good ethics yesterday, is inadequate to the requirements of to-day. In America, for the past hundred years, radicalism has been the seeking of personal rights ; to-day it is the seeking of public rights. In the onward march of humanity that we call progress, America's lirst duty as a nation is self-development. The great prime factor in this de velopment is patriotism. But self-development is selfish. Patriotism is to climb up, but it is to climb alone. To satisfy the con ditions of an ideal community we must com pensate for this selfishness.
