FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1910.
IN THE CASE OF NEBRASKA.
NASHVILLE Tennessean.l

Ia Nebraska, where the Demo-
cratic convention declared en-
phatically for a county option law
regnlative of the sale of liquor, the
liquor dealers opposed such law,
and Mayor Dahlman Of Omaha,
the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, though nominated on plat
form declaring for county option,
publicly proclaimed that he would
veto the bill if it should be passed
by the Legislature.
Because of Dahlman's defiant
attitude, the people elected Re-
publican for Governor and Dem
ocratic Legislature, instructing for
Ia Democrat for United States
Senator.
The Dahlman liquor faction of
the Democratic party in Nebraska
opposed county option in that
State for the same reason that the
/ Patterson liquor faction in Ten
nessee favors local option.
In Nebraska they oppose what
the people want and in Tennessee
they want what the people oppose.
In Nebraska the liquor people OPP
pose local option; in Tennessee
they favor local obtion. In other
words, the liquor people oppose
any legislation on the liquor ques-
tion that the people favor and favor
any legislation that the people
oppose.
AT the general election the peo-
pie expressed their choice for
United States Senator, preferring
Hon. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, editor
Of the Omaha World Herald, a pro-
gressive Democrat, who il now q
member Of Congress from the
Omaha district. He received q
majority of 21,600, yet Dahlman,
the Democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor, who declared he would
override the will Of the people on
the liquor question, was defeated
by 9 Republican.
Under the plan of instructing
the Legislators in Nebraska, Mr..
Hitchcock would be elected to the
Senate if the Legislature was Re-
publican, but II is Democratic and
every member is pledged to the
initiative and referendum.
Ii is interesting to compare the
Democratic liquorites in Nebraska
with the Democratic liqaorites in
Tennessee. With the Democratic
liquor statesmen il Nebraska local
option is vicious, undemocratic and
destructive to property rights. In
Tennessee the same principle is
the very essence Of Democracy,
and al those who oppose il are
traitors.
The policy Of the liquor inter
ests, licweyere.is to ride The domi-
mint party, whether II il Demo
cratic or Repobl ican, and 40 IL

WOULD BE MISTAKE.
An Expert Says Unpaid Commission
Would Be Sheer Folly

Would Be Sheer Folly.
Divided responsibility is the curse
of American politics." said John T.
White to an Evening News reporter
last Saturday Instead of electing
experts The essence of the commits
sion form is the fixing of RESPONSE
bility. If you are elected commits
sioners and hire me as an expert and
something goes wrong, who is going
to be held responsible by the people
that hired you? You will promise to
investigate just as the municipal Of
fcers of today do, and We get nc
the unpaid commission point to the
school board, which hires it's expert,
as an example. The school board is
an unnecessary wheel. Elect your ex-
pert and hold him responsible for
your school system. The beauty of
the new system is that it makes the
official directly responsible; he can
not shift and evade responsibility.
Lincoln will be making a big mis-
take if it adopts that idea. 1t is flying
in the teeth Of experience everywhere
else. The swing of the cities of the
country today is towards the COM
mission form of government and d.
rect legislation, and it is a mistake to
halt now to try experiments. Take adj
vantage of TIE wisdom gained by the
the experience of Others"

that unions should disband and trust

Every union has its knockers. These
gentlemen haven't time to attend
meetings more than three times a
year. They can crate in a bar room
as to how a union should be run, and
in time of strike can demand strike
benefits, but they will not do commit
tee work and they rarely read uu-
ion paper. Many Of them are for
sale to the politicians or to the en-
ployers, at very low figures.

University OF Kansas.

Young Mems Christian Association
is one OF the well-esta blshed religious
organizations OF the University, 1t
is controlled by the students and its
work is exclusively for the men of
the school. The activities of this
association In welcoming new students
are very hopeful. Open house is kept
day and night during the first week of
school, and before the end of the first
month the association gives supper
to which every man ia the university
is invited. The social work is con-
tluued throughout the year, and
between September and June the
organization gives considerab Q
number of receptions, parties aud
social entertainments of various
kinds.
The social work Of the Y. M. G. A.
is however, not its most important
work. The chief purpose Of the
association is to stimulate and de-
velop the religious life of its members.
Every Thursday evening a religion,
meeting is held tn Myers hall, at.
which from forty to one hundred and
seventy five men are present, Speak
ers are chosen with care, and the
officers of the association endeayor to
make these weekly meetings distinct
lV religious In tone. a series of
special religious meetings, moreover.
is held each year. The date for these
meetings is usually put at a time
when one or mere Of the eiDterpational
secretaries can be at the University.
The association also organizes
groups of men for Bible study aud the
study OF Christian missions. During
the last year two hundred men have
made a systematic study Of the Bible,
aud considerable number were en-
rJlled in the classes for mission study.

A Colorado Case.

len years ago, in certain canyon
in Colorado, there was a tremendous
amount of water going to waste.
An Eastern corporation secured the
right to put in dam, and this dam
cost tremendous amount of money,
which was raised with difficulty.
AS result of this dam, complete
three years ago, the valley below
has become garden; hundreds O.
people are prospering on Ian
formerly worthless.
The corporation that Put in the
dam is not making to exceed 6 Ist
cent on its investment, although
aeney IN that vicinity is wo h 8
DER cent. Still, the corporation is
abused regularly by the people it
benefits. The corporation has been
hampered by unfriendly legislation,
and this unfrendly legislation has
resulted in water power in other
canyons going to waste.
THIS is atrue story. Yet the men
who have been hampering the opera
ions oftha Colorado corporation
believe they are engaged in reform
work. Cool ado reformers have
actually Injured their slate, and
been unjust 20 useful capital.
a eood deal of the same sort Of
rhing goes on everywhere. The
trouble seems to be that corporations
do not give their affairs more
publicity. The people believe a lot
of things about corporations that
are not true, and it would cost the
corporations less TO inform the
people than it costs to buy legls-
Iatures.
Many corporations deserve al
they get, but hundreds of others are
prosecuted uEjustIy because the
people do not understand the facts.
| This great country cannot be
developed without combination oil
capital, and the rights of a just and
useful corporation should be
guarded as carefully as the rights oi
all individual. .-AtehiSon Globe.

University Atmosphere

| Kansas University has an intel,
lectual and moral tone or atmosphere
of its own. In this respect 10 re-
sembes every other great educational
institution. Persons who have at
tended races have felt the trend of
thought the air Of excitement, which
pervadeG the place, At an auction
there is an unseen and nnheard in.
iluence in favor Of buying, At d
horse market the trend of thought Is
greatly different from that as Y. M
Q. A. meeting, The atmosphere of
political gathering Is easily di'tiu-
guished from that Of a horticultural
society.
The intangible influences of great
educational institution are many and
varied When 1000 or 5000 students
come to school for intellectual de-
velopment they form large com
muuity devoted to- one general pur-
pose. Not ali will he equally diligeut
in educational work. There will be-
all grades from these who get along
with as little work and as much fun
as possible, to those of the highest
ambition. Everyone can find COM
panions of his own kind. Those wno
have never been in a large school will
be surprised at the ease with which
"birds Of feather flock together" in
large groups and have plenty Of
associates of their own kind, much al
in q large city the various elements
fl >ck together without interference
from each other.
But the whole influence of the
Chancellor, the professors and assist
ants of all grades, and the stroag
trend of purpose and action by the
ereat majority Of students In favor Of
the best development, the best use Of
the great opportunities afforded, con-
stitute an impelllRg force, silent aui
uus en- but strongly felt by everyone
who climbs to the great Unlversit

The intellectual and moral atmos-
