STUDENT FooLlsHNEss.

Now don't be too harsh with the
student boys. They are full of ami
NAL spirits-and sometimes other
kinds. Boys will be boys" and very
often they will fail to distinguish be-
tween boyishness and ruffianism. The
wageworker loves the college student.
Once upon a time, many years ago.
The Wageworker man was a univer-
sity student himself. That is, he was
martriculated. wore a dinkey little
cap on the side of his head. smoked
a bulldog pipe. tinkled a little on the
sweet Spanish guitar and warbled a
bit under me loidy's window. He has
performed the serpentine dance. par
AIDED in his nightie, helped to put a
wagon on the chapel platform. stolen
the bell clapper. tick-tacked the
prexy's window and ''ponied'' his way
through various dead and rotten Ian
guages.
But there is one thing that if often
done by modern university students
that The Wageworker man never did
he never -scabbed' ON a working
man who was trying to earn an hon
est living and fighting for a decent
wage. He never fell quite so low as
to act as s'strikebreaker," as some
of President Eliot's students have
done in order to be heroes" And he
never quite so forgot his gentiemanly
instincts as to invade the fair goods
dormitory and perform ruffian feats
under the mistaken impression that
was either smart or the sign of real
university spirit"
The Wageworker likes to see the
university students having a good
time. Its editor had a bully time
True. like a lot of the university
boys in Lincoln. he spent so much
time having good time that he
didn't learn very much that was
worth while. He has learned a lor
more since quitting the university
than he learned while he was there
but what he has learned since was
knocked into him instead of soaking
Into him. That will be the way with
a lot of the young men now going to
the University of Nebraska
But in all friendship and candor
The Wageworker would suggest TO
the university young men that they
cut out some of the feats and freaks.
They may appear smart now. but they
will look awfully foolish in retrospect.

DO NOT JUDGE HASTILY.

Several union ironworkers in St
Joseph, Mo-. are under arrest, charged
with having dynamitei couple of
school buildings that were being
erected by non-union ironworkers-
Without knowing anything at all
about the merits of the case, The
Wageworker is willing to wager that
there is a scheme n foot either 10
cover up a couple of losing contracts
or TO discredit the ironwcrkers' union
1t is very easy TO explode a little
gunpowder under a bit OF iron work.
and then make play for public SYM
patty by charging the outrage 10
union labor. That sort of thing has
been worked time and again. and
more than once the daily newspapers
have fallen for the scheme. Or a
contractor. seeking to get rid Of a
losing contract plugs up union
outrage and then gets an extension of
time or an amendment to his contract
that will permit him TO make good
loss entailed because of his own
ignorance. That, too, has been done.
There is no denying that union
men have often been guilty of out
rages-not. however, because they
were union men. but because they
were men. But the average union
list knows that TO forfeit public SYM
patty is to destroy practically every
chance to win q victory. Why, then,
should a union man attempt to de-
stroy buildings on which union la
Dor was Disseminated against and
non-union labor employed?
Ii is always wise TO double dis
count all these daily newspaper stories
of union outrage In the first
place they are always fearfully exag-
gerated. In the second place they
are seldom rightfully chargeable TO
union men. Before Judgment is passed
in this ST. Joseph case. just wait un-
til further facts are made public.

City was chosen over St. Louis as the place
for the next encampment, after a spirited
fight.
Atlantic City was placed in nomination by
AdJutant General Burrows of New Jersey
and st Louis was named by former
Commander-in-chief Charles Burton of Mis-
souri,. First one city was in the lead and
then the other. with New York to be
heard from, the vote stood 25S to 1903 in
favor OF st. Louis.
When New York was called the com
mander of that department announced the
vote as fifty-three for Atlantic City and one
for st. Louis. This gave the seacoast city
a lead that could not be overcome. Tho
vote showed the east arrayed against the
middle west, with the far west and south
more or less divided.
The other contest was for chaplain. Rev.
Daniel Ryan OF Columbus, Ind, won the
honor from Rev. Thomas Harwood of New
Mexico by a vote of 800 to 2S3..
After the final details Of the convention
were disposed of, Commander-in-chief Van
