LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 23. (Special,) Ex
periments In tho greenhouses of
the University of Nebraska to de
velop a new species of nasturtium
have proved successful, nnd the new llower
Is In full bloom. Its chief quality of ex
cellence Is thnt it Is continuously and pro
fusely In (lower. The gardener is proud of
this new variety and Is somewhat perplexed
whether to name It after himself or call It
the Kverbloom.
Ono of the students In tho botany depart
ment has finished a series of 100 pictures
taken nt tho farm Inst summer. They arc
for speclul use In the horticultural depart
ment, ns they Illustrate nil the varieties of
watermelons which enn bo raised In this
part of the state. Views of the holds and
growing melons wero taken, ns well ns pic
tures of Individual melons showing the
whole fruit nnd melons cut In sections.
The pictures will bo used ns cuts In tho
nnnual publicntlon, which tho horticultural
society will have ready for distribution by
early spring.
A valuable machine for use In tho de
termination of Intensity of light has re
cently been constructed by Mr. Hedgecock
for uso In botanical experiment work. Tho
purposo of tho machine Is for making
comparisons of shado nnd light In green
houses with full sunlight out of doors. The
main feature Is the uso of photographic
paper, which, although not a new Idea, has
nover been used to nny extent. It Is be
lieved that this Is tho only machine of
Its kind In this country. Like contrivances
have been made In OeWnnny, but not so
complete In detnli as this.
The next meeting of the botanical sem
inar will bo held Jnnuary 21 nt 1:30 p. ra.,
nnd tho subject will be n symposium on
plant physiology, with Or. Besscy acting as
symposia rch.

With tho opening of tho noon lunch
room In the quarters of tho domestic
iiclcnco department In Mechanic Arts hall
a now progressive feature Is taken up lu
tho university life, which nppcnls to a
large number of students because of Its
great practicability. There Is a prevailing
Idea that a full lunch or dinner enn be ob
tained In the lunch room, and It Is desired
by tho management that this Idea bo cor
rected. Tho Items for tho lunch menu nro
light dishes prepared by tho class In tho
cooking school, who have not yet attempted
anything so elnbornto or substantial enough
to mako uu u snuare menl. The offerings
so far nre soups, chocolate, light pastry and
tho usual drinks which help to fill out nnd
warm up tho partial lunch which the stu
dent carries. This feature Is an entirely
new ono In tho university, nnd somo ex
periments will bo mado before the depart
ment will be In full working order. Changes
will bo mado from time to tlmo ns tho
director sees fit. At prebont tho small
room used for this purpose Is overcrowded
nt tho noon honr, but with Its growth,
should this exptrlment provo n permanent
success. It Is hoped that larger quarters
will bo obtained.

ConipiirlNon Mltli low ii.
Tho following statement of tho condition
n'nd equipment of tho University of lown
Is Interesting ns compared with conditions
existing nt tho University of Nebraska:
It Is dlfllcult to compare tho two univer
sities, though both nro stato and, In an
especial sense, tho people's universities.
Iowa Is of a different typo from Nebraska.
It was founded In IS 17 and thereforo has
not enly n longer history, but much more
of tho Impress of tho classical conditions
of tho earlier colleges. Tho present gen
eration In lown has not tho remotest
trnco of a preparatory department, which
was abolished In 1S7S. It Is, therefore, rela
tively easy to maintain tho high standards
of admission. The Institution has no schools
like tho school of agriculture, or of me
chanic nrts, or of music, and, therefore,
with tho exception of tho smnll college
of pharmacy, all students arc of at least
collegiate grade, Inasmuch as tho profes
sional colleges rcqulro nothing less than j
a high school education. Tho promlncnco
of tho professional colleges Is especially
notlcenble to ono from Nebraskn. There
Is n completo group, namely: Tho college
of law, of medicine, of homoeopathic med
icine, of dentistry nnd of pharmacy. There
Is ,a great department consisting of the
university hospitals, furnishing material for
clinics nnd admirable Intlrmnrles for stu
dents who may fall sick. Tho crown of
the university Is a grnduato college of
about lfiO students, formally established
Inst year and In n most flourishing condi
tion. Tho collego has Just been admitted
to the federation of graduate colleges. Tho
collego of liberal arts covers, with the ex
ception of agriculture nnd mechanic nrts,
the courses In tho collego of science, liter
ature and nrts and tho Industrial college
of Nebraska. Tho collego of ngriculturo
and inecbnnlc nrts Is located nt Ames. In
comparing the enrollment of Nebraskn nnd
lown ono should add together tho enroll
ments of theso two Institutions, l'robnbly
this year tho enrollment In tho. unlversjty
would be 1,600 and nt Ames 900. Tho last
legislature extended the onctenth of n mill
tax for building purposes for Ihe univer
sity nnd gave another one-tenth mill for
building purposes nt Ames. Tho permanent
appropriations for tho university wero In
ert ascd by $50,000 a year, so that the total
permanent Income of tho university, npnrt
from tho agricultural college, will not oo
less than $223,000. Tho Increase In Incomo
was used this yenr by tho regents In nddlng
some thirty-three to tho Instructional staff,
making a total of 130 In .tho faculties, und
In strengthening tho equipments In tho
sclcntlflo and professional departments nnd
in tho libraries. A $lG)00",m6dern central
stono heating plant and a $200,000 renais
sance stone hall of liberal arts aro just
being completed. The last legislature,
without lobbying nnd with practical una
nimity, gnvo them Just what they asked.
This will not be legislative year In Iowa.

BRYAN'S FIRST ISSUE IS OUT
lie (iir Inln ntt Utiiliiiiiitlou of Why
lie ('limine to Call It the
Coinnuiiier.
LINCOLN, Jon. 23. Tho first number of
Tho Commonei, the weekly paper published
by Wllllnm J. Bryan, wns Issued this after
noon. Tho following Is tho salutatory:
"Webster dcllnca n commoner ns 'one of
tho common people.' Tho name has been
selected for this paper because tho Com
moner will endeavor to aid the common
people In the protection of their rights, tho
ndvnncetncnt of their interests nnd tne real-
lmlm of Uclr ftgpIrntloll.
It Is not necessary to apologize for the
uso of n term which distinguishes thi
great body of the population from the com
paratively few, who, for ono reason or
another, withdraw themselves from sym
pathetic connection with their fellows.
Among the Creeks iiol pollol was used
to dcscrllm tho many, while nniong tho
Romans the word 'plebs' ns employed for
tho Bamo purpose. Theso appellations, llko
'the common people,' have been assumed
with prldo by those to whom they were
applied, whllo they hnvo been used ns terms
of reproach by those who counted them
selvci among tho aristocratic classes. With
in recent years thuro has been n growing
tendency In some quarters to denounco
ns demagogic nny refcrenco to, or praise
of, tho common people.
"Ono editor In n late Issue of his paper
takes exception to tho phrase nnd says:
" 'This expression Is nn ill-chosen ono
nnd should have no lodgment In the vo
cabulary of an American patriot .and
statesman. If we sought Its origin wo
would look for It In that specious demagogy
which has evolved tho professional poli
tician, nrrnyed country ngalnst town the
farmer and his sons and daughters against
tho business nnd professional men and
their tons nnd daughters capital ngalnst
lnbor, and built up against neighbors the
impregnnblo bnrrlors of prejudice nnd hate."
"This quotation Is reproduced becauso It
fairly represents tho views of those who
criticize the expression. It hns, however,
nn eminently respectable origin. In the
snmo chanter In which Christ condensed
man's duty to hl.t fellows Into the com
mandment, 'Thou shnlt love thy neighbor
ns thyself.' In tho enmn chapter In which
h denounced those who devour widow's
nouses nntl for pretense mnko long prayers
in this same chapter It Is said of Him: 'Tho
common people heard 111 tit gladly.'
"No higher compliment wns ever paid
to nny clnse.
"Tho term, the common people, Is prop
erly used to describe tho largo majority
of tho people, thoso who earn their living
nnd give to hoclety'n fnlr return for the
benefits bestowed by society, thoso who
In their dally lives recognlzo the ties which
bind together the mnrs of the people who
hnvo n common lot nnd a common hope.
Sometimes they aro called 'tho mlddlo
classes' because paupers and criminals are
excluded on the one hand, while oi the other
hand somo excludo themselves because of
wraith or position, or pride of hlrth. The
common people form the Industrious, In
telligent nnd patrotlc clement of our popu
lation; thev produce ho nation's wealth
In tlmo of peace and fight the nation's
battles In time "of war. They arc self
reliant nnd Independent; they nsk of gov
ernment nothing but Justlco and will not
bo satisfied with less. They nro not seek
ing to get their hands Into other' people's
rockets, but nro content If they can keep
other people's hands out of their pockets.
"Tho common people do not eonstltuto
nn exclusive toclcty, they nre not of tho
four hundred; nnyono can betomo a
member If ho Is willing to contribute by
brain or muscle to tho nation's strength
nnd greatness. Only those nro barred, and
they nro barred by their own choice, who
lmaclno themselves mado of n superior
kind of clay and who deny tho equality
of all before tho law.
"A rich mnn, who has honestly acquired
his wealth- and who is not afraid to in
trust its caro to laws mado by his fellows,
can count himself nmong tho common
people, whllo a poor mnn Is
renlly not one of them If ho fawns before
a plutoerat and hns no higher ambition
thnn to bo a courtier or n sycophant.
"Tho Commoner will bo satisfied If by
fidelity to tho common people It proves
Its light to tho namo which It has chosen."
It was a busy day for Mr. Bryan, his busi
ness manager and clerks. As fast as tho
four pre&ses printed them the papers wero
hauled In n dray to tho mailing room, two

to n small army of clerks for addressing

slightly larger than tho ordinary magazine
nnd of good typographical appearance. The
longer editorials stnrt on tho first pago and
contlnuo through to the fourth, which Is do
voted to short paragraphs on nubile nues-
