There is n unusual amount of entliuiam for base hall this spring. The university has a good nine ami are to play with some strong teams They will play practically the only base ball games in Lincoln this year ami there is no reason why the attendance should not he splendid. The convening of the campus into a ball lield is a wise movo as it enables many to attend names who could not or would not take the time to go to the park. In the loss of Dr. Wolfe the university loses, not only one of its ablest and most popular professors, but one of the sluing men of the country. No loyal student but must regret this. It is diflicult for the student body to understand just why it is necessary for the university to sustain this loss. There may be some inside history which justifies the action of Jho "powers." Such justification is not apparent to the student body. The action of the "peace eon- cert" seems unwarranted and impolitic-. "The powers that be are ordained of God" was once a living maxim of government. Sovereignty was infallible, divine. Today, law and order imply necessary respect to the powers that be-provided the powers that be, through broad eflicienc.y, dial enge respect. Students in general are not "anarch ist," The recent manifestation of student sentiment was not "rash" but born of a deep seated conviction that justice had not been duly meted out. Hut the powers' had spoken. With no attempt at anarchy, but with ii feeling of personal loss, the students pro tested. They were not heard, There are not now daily spectacles and demonstrations, but there is a deep undercurrent of controlled feeling growing in intensity daily. What seems to be a lnanifWm justice never finds sanction or sympathy in tin heart of the great student body. Glee Club Concert.

FJ l1"' debate. He made a strong outline of their position. and argued that extension is the policy of the Aujjl" Saxon race, as well as the acknowledged precedent in our own country. Mr. C. (J.
