Imoiii a hundred cities and towns "armies of the commonweal,' numbering anywhere from 100 to 2,o:,o men earh. are marching to Wnsbinlnn Coxey's army, at first a jest, has grown to assume an aspect no longer mirthful, but rather grave an serious. What this movement means and in what it will end time aloi.e can tell. And while these armies of the unemployed are marching, 150,000 coal miners, whose earning ag gregate over $50,000,000 annually, have quit work, and from present aspects this strike, involving the greatest number of men of any in the history of the United States, will be of long duration and per haps entail unparalleled sufft ring before it is finally settled. And so we say, these are stirring times. If you, oh. pale young man with thoi ghtful bro have some ideas of worth and originality upon these topics, write them up and boil them down and scud them toTmc Nkhkaskan. The .Sunday edition of the morning paper of this city is one that is unexcel led for general literary merit by any similiar publication this side of the Mississippi, and Tub Nkhraskan is tempted to ask, bow many of our stud ents have thought of the reason why? It takes oily a little notice to discover the cause of thut merit to be the students of the University of Nebraska themselves. There is scarcely a page of the lit :ary supplement of every Sunday's Journal that does not contain articU-s of worth and originality, articles displaying thought and culture, to which are ap pended the liunirs of our students, or which, being unsigned, yet betray the ear marks of University work. Watch and see. Tin? Nhiikaskan takes a pride 111 this evident e of the tendency of our University men and women to push to the front 111 literary work, and is glad to mention it as testifying both to the of ficii nry of the work dune hi those do partinentb to which this advancement is mainly due, and to the fact that we have ta cut ami brains which cv bou d to manifest themselves, anions; our students. The University of Nebraska is the center of the thought and culture of the state, and the people of Nebraska are beginning to recognize this fact The best young men and young women in Nebraska, young people with brains and 1 ambition are seeking every year in great er nunibon. those advantage, of learninu and culture and association which our University is so abundantly fitted to give. Thin is as it should he and we hope that our tudent will mention such fact uk these to every one they see or write to, and ask them to tell everv one else. That is the on'y way to build up the University. of drill. Aside from those few whose eyes are dazzled by the brightness of shoulder straps either present or coming, the great majority of the students of whom three years drill is required, ar-i and have been for many years, very much dissatisfied with so long n period of required drill. It is n suggestive fact that just as soon as it was learned that the opinion had hien expressed in the faculty meeting that the students them selves did not ask for the change, that a petition was at once started praying for this reduction of the years of dri-l, and we are told that four out of five of the numbers of the hataliion who are asked to sign this petition can hardly write men-names mg enougii aim onen enough to satisfy their enthusiasm. The fact is that thr e years of compul sory drill is very distasteful to the great majority of thu young men of the Uni versity, and the onlv nasoii for which they have submilUd quietly to this re quirement is one with which the faculty should lie familiar, the constant endeavor of our students to con form without grum bling or signs of dissatisfaction to the requirements of the ciiriculuiu. And so, while theie has been for a long time widespread satisfaction among students because of what seemed to them an un reasonable amount of required drill, they have dieuied it fitting, in view of the benefits which the University is con ferring on them, to keep this dissatisfac tion to themsulves. Hut now, whun the statement has been made that there is no general objection to three years of drill, the members of the batalliou, in our opinion, will be perfectly justified in letting the faculty and regency know exactly where they stand. And if the students should ex press themselves with any degree unan iniity in favor of this proposed change, the faculty and board of regents will cer tainly take their wishes into considera tion. We believe that if the students themselves once take their stand in re questing but two eurs of required drill, that but little reason could longer be urged in favor of tlu retention of the present term. Two years of drill should certainly be enough to fit students for that visionary conflict. And if twoyeais are not enough to satisfy individual students, they could elect as many years more as would satisfy their thirst for military glory, without compelling their fellow students, who have neither the lime nor tne inclination to keep on "hufrping" with them man class work a spcoiauy.
