The College Man.

In a little paper published by western col
ege appears the following:
It IL estimated that since the United States was
founded only one man in every $50 has to col
Iege Yet this small number has furnished
teen of the twenty-six presidents, nineteen of the
twenty-seven vice presidents and seventeen OF the
thirty-four persons in the Hall OF Fame 1t Is
timated that only per cent of the population
college people, but this per cent has furnished
twentynne OF the fiftyone governors of the states
and territories sxyone OF the ninety three United
States senator's. 272 OF the 895 congressman, and
nine of the nine justices of the supreme court
Assuming the accuracy of this statement,
this makes out a mighty strong case for the
college-bred man, at whom there has been more
or less thoughtless sneering These ratios, how
ever. are steadily increasing. reckoning ten
years from now would show very much larger
college attendanees. Would it also show in
creases all along the relative line? That is the
question. 1t is an old rule to require more OF
the man with the most light-a divine rule, in
deed 1t applies rigidly and justly TO the pro-
duct OF higher education. All things consd-
cred, the world has a right to expect the plus
mark from the man and woman enjoying these
advantages. True, It is easier to get a college
education today than II was fifty years and
more ago, but that is no reason for lowering the
standard of requirement OF the finished product.
On the other hand, the college curriculum Of
former years nowhere near approached that Of
today. II is said that college course in Daniel
Webster's time about matched our modern high
school curriculum. Higher education must al.
ways mean higher aspirations and achieve
ments. not only intellectually, but morally and
physically.

Twenty Ysarr Of Ak.sar. Ben.

No period Of Nebraska's history has wit
messed as large permanent growth and develop,
ments OF its interests and resources az the last
twenty years spanned by the reign Of King Ak
sar-Ben. In the dark days Of drouth and hard
times this great festival was conceived in the
brain Of a few Omaha business men in the dual
nature OF a promoter OF pleasure and business
not alone for omaha, but the whole state as
we'll. To that purpose Il has ever held and sub
served II with increasing success
Now at the end OF twenty years those who
have followed the course OF Ak-Sar-Ben are
more than ever impressed with the wisdom and
stability OF its conception. for II has weathered
every adverse wind that has crossed its path
and como TO It's twentieth anniversary with, not
enthusiasm in its existence or course, such a
result must be largely due to the fact that in
the beginning the founders succeeded in strfk-
ing an exact balance in the dual character Of
their scheme and then in the sane administra-
ton Of the institution following
OF local origin. Of statewide construction
and Influence. Ak-Sar-Ben today has a fame
that knows almost no bounds At It's shrines
have bowed big men of all the states and some
Of other lands. Presidents and lesser statesmen
here have paid homage TO our twenty year-old
potentate and felt and enjoyed the genius OF the
festival side Of his rule out at the "den"-a
word 20 conjure with-as well as along the brill
liant highways Of his imperial city. Here we
are, then, In the midst OF another fall fes-
tival with a welcome as royal and genuine and
a hospitality as deep and true as ever for all the
hosts who come to give and share in this Joy
Gus, profitable season.

Only q Mares Nest.

terrible Juror is being raised by the Lin
coin Star over what 1t calls a constitutional
"miscue" in requiring SO per cent of the voters
70 save a law enacted by the legislature upon
which a referendum has been demanded. The
Star directs attention particularly to the work
mems compensation law. although q similar
referendum has been taken on another legisla-
tive enactment, namely. the appropriation for
the Nebraska City armory. The Star contends
that the constitution permits 10 per cent OF the
voters by petition to block legislation absolutely
until 20 per cent OF the voters record themselves
afflrmatively for 1t. If this true,
would freely admit that our referendum, instead
Of being in the direction OF popular rule. would
be a device for the rule Of mere fractional
minority.
But in constituting the constitution. as we
read It, the Star is enevitably wrong, because
the 30 per cent limitation upon the initiative
does not apply TO the referendum. as must be
clear from the wording OF the section:
The whole number OF votes cast for governor at
the regular election last preceding the filing OF
initiative referendum petition shall be the basis
which the number OF legal required to
sign such petition shall be computed The veto
power OF the governor shall extend TO measures
initiated by referred to the people. All such
measures shall become the law a part Of the con-
sttution when approved by majority of the votes
cast thereon, provided the votes cast in favor Of
said initiative measure part OF said constitution
shall constitute S5 per cent OF the total vote cast
at said election and not otherwise, and shall take
effect upon the proclamation by the governor.
which shall be made within ten days the compile
ton OF the official canvass
The omission of specific reference to refer
endum measures In connection with the SO per
cent proves an intention not to require more
than a majority OF the votes cast on such a
proposition, which, furthermore, stands to
reason. even by the Stars line Of argument, for
all the referendum is designed to accomplish is
to permit a minority 10 take appeal from the
legislature TO the people and to ascertain
whether the to them Objectionable measure is
really Objectionable TO the majority. The bur
den of proof naturally falls upon those who in
woke the referendum just as for the initiative
the burden of proof is upon those who resort to
II. II acts like the workmen's compensation
law OF appropriations like the armory appropri-
alton could be defeated by hidden hands hiring
people to secure signatures on 10 per cent
petition, what boon the referendum would be
to the selfish special interests.

The World Knows.

Bismarck. the great Iron Chancellor OF
Germany, once said: Let the enemy know what
war means" The enemy, which was France,
certainly found out, II It did not know before.
And II the world came away from the Franco
Prussisn conflict with any mlsgivings as to the
deep reality of war, certainly It has learned
from the present cataclysm now engulfing all
Europe and touching other lands, that the
meaning Of war is the ruthless slaughter Of hui
mainly and the desolation Of every achievement
wrought by human genius. Yes the world
knows, and knowing, let us hope, is at this very
moment resolving to itself that, come what
may the issue Of this war, its utmost powers
and influence will be hurled impacably against
war in the future the abitrament OF interna-
tional disputes: that 1t will institute a suit for
universal peace that shall not end until some
tangible ground looking toward ultimate secur-
lty shall have been reached.
The end crowns all;
And that old arbitrator, Time
VIII one day end Il.
1t Is too early, of course, for rhapsodes
TO "the worlds last great war" and yet 1t is
fair to believe with the bard that the common
old arbitrator, Time" will one day end all, war
included. That will be day when humanity is
more humane and wisdom wiser than now, when
the vulgar yearning for the fleshpots of avarice
does not arbitrarily determine the privilege OF
life for scores OF thousands OF human beings.
