EDITORIAL,
jySNljENTLE reader, the business manager:
((fpU of this well of information needs
kimoney. It costs something to publish
the Hesperian. Will you oblige him by pay
ing your subscription without waiting to be
called upon?
There is entirely too much "swiping"
going on in the University and we believe it
our duty to mention it. There is no one so"
mean, so little, so low, so despicable, so con
temptible, as the sneak thief; beside him the
highway robber is a gentleman and a scholar,
and the murderer a model of all manly vir
tues. That counterfeit of man who walks on
two legs and makes a business of sneaking
abound and appropriating the hats, caps,
rubbers, mufflers and books of students could
find no crime so vile that he would hesitate
at its performance. One sneak thief can da
moralize a thousand honest men quicker than,
all the other imps of Satan combined. Ais a
thief; he "swipes" B's hat from the hook and
glides away. B comes to go home, no .hat;
he can't go bare-headed, in nine cases out of
ten, however honest he be, he takes C's .hat;
C takes D's, and so on down. If the B's, G's
and D's and the rest of them could simply
catch A once, pile upon him, and exterminate
him, this department of The Hesperian will
agree to contribute its mite cheerfully and
willingly toward defraying his funeral ex
penses. The Hesperian regrets that the debating
association has met with so many difficulties
and discouragements up to this time; it re-
grets that the preliminary debates y.r4$p.
poorly attended, and that so many .wW jjjgW;
tered for these debates "pulled out ''.Weq
