University Of Omaha
To Play Creighton in
Tryout Next Week

The University of Omaha foot
ball team, with new coach, recon-
inended by Coach Tommy Mills of
Creighton university, is slowly
rounding into good shape and will
play tryout game with Mills war
riors on the Creighton field.
The first real collegiate game for
the Omaha Uni will be with Wayne
Normal at Wayne October H.
Coach Cavanaugh has developed \
team of really creditable players,
from bunch of green men. The
other hard games they expect be-
sides that with Wayne are with
Trinity college of Sioux City, Kear-
ney Normal, Tarkio college of Mis-
souri, and tho Osteipaths of Kinks
vile, Mo.
The first home game will be with
Tarkio college at Creighton field.
BY means of the practice game with
Creighton next Wednesday the new
coach expects to weed out the weak
spots in the Omaha team and to
have a high class grid aggregation
lined up for the important games
coming.

braska would have played Iowa a
Misunderstanding tie. In the same
breath the Catholic mentor predict
ed that Iowa would be strong con-
tenders for the western conference
championship. Nebraska plays Notre
Dame at Lincoln, October II.
Minnesota also is out for the
western conference championship.
Victory over the Gophers by Ne
braska would restore all the old
confidence and place the school on
its former high pedestal in foot ball
circles. Alumni and students are
backing the team to the limit in its
battle for form for Saturdays clash.
Head Coach Schultz ranks high
in the estimation of Nebraska men
who participated in or saw the Iowa
game. The former Yost man showed
generalship in the handling of his
team and, but for the rain, it is con-
coded possible that the Huskers
would have come back for couple
of touchdowns and tie score in the
last half.
Considerable criticism is being d.
rected at Ex-Coach E. ]. Stewart for
authorizing such a lop-sided sched-
ule. Usually first game for big
college team is with a light team.
This year Nebraska and Iowa are
perhaps the only two exceptions in
the country playing a major con-
test in their first public appearance.
A special train will be run to
Minneapolis from Lincoln Saturday
morning. Coach Schultz intends to
take his men up Thursday evening.
1t is probable that change of line
up will be announced before the
end of the week, carrying out the
head coach's idea that no man has
a "gilt-edged certificate" to his
place.

AN ARGUMENT INCOMPLETE

1t is explained for Mr.. Wilson that he considers the repeal
of the wartime prohibition as a moral duty to the country. Tha|
this fo"m Of prohibition was imposed as a war measure and
not as a moral one. The war being over it would not be
honorable, they say, to continue what was enacted in its name
To keep good faith with the people means to observe the fact
that the causes underlying that prohibition exist no more. The
rights of men who make and sell beer and light wines were
abrogated for a specific reason and that reason has ceased to
exist. Shall the country keep faith with them?
While there is something in that reasoning, and good faith
toward all men is an essential of good morals, yet the president
himself impugns that by limiting the exemption to beer and
light wines. Why not keep good faith with the men who make
and sell and consume the stronger drinks also? Is good faith
to be kept with the milder ones and not with the others? TO
have been consistent and to make that argument stand up it
would have to be applied to all the liquors which were re-
strcted in the interest of winning the war, and that restriction
was not morally based, but economically.
But still more to the point, how about the> railroads that
were to be kept for five years? And how about the telegraph
and the telephone service and how about the cables that were
not taken until weeks after the war was over, but taken under
authority granted by reason OF war emergency?
The argument was not complete.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-06-07

The revenue officials have come to the conclusion that
they cannot make the premises of foreign ambassadors and
consuis dry places. Such officials of governments may receive
their wet goods and keep and drink them on their own prem-
ises. This is on the legal theory that such premises are in
effect foreign soil The residence of a consul or ambassador
is a bit OF soil thai belongs to the country which he represents
and we cannot enforce our laws against it.
But in Chicago, Mr.. Bryan, in a public address. had
a great deal to say about prohibition and a few sharp words
about President Wilson and his light wine and beer order.
Mr.. Bryan said that the president lacked understanding. the
understanding of the wife or the child of a drunkard who was
made to suffer through strong drink imbibed by the husband
or father.
Mr.. Bryan went still farther. He said he was in favor of
a law making total abstinence compulsory. But is it not com
palsory when a man can not buy the wherewHh? perhaps he
means that he would punish every man who lets a drop of
the stuff pass his lips-if he can get it. That sort of q law
is possible to wild fanatics, that is, it's a possible conception
and all that will be necessary to enforce it is to employ every
other man and woman as a secret spy of the arbitrary govern,
ment. We are not yet as crazy as we may be, at least that is
the conclusion one comes to after reading one of Mr.. Bryan's
up to-the minute speeches.

A IRREGULAR" PROVES THE CONTENTION

A regular army pleader writing in the Literary Digest
cites records of the war to show that the two regular divisions,
the First and the Second, lost the most men and obtained the
most booty. This is to him proof positive that they did the
heaviest fighting, and SO and and so on.
AS we understand it, there is no dispute as to the courage
of the regulars. They are Americans and all Americans IL
the war fought well-when they were given the chance. Nc
one wants to discount the men who were in what is calico
the regular army, which, as a matter of fact, was only
small contingent of the great army, hardly enough to make
more than one or two divisions, without drawing on the volun
teers or the drafted men.
The record that the writer in question cites proves exact!
the righteousness of the complaints that have been made by
the non-regulars, namely, that they were not given thu
chances. the opportunities to show what was in them. The
records cited prove that the two regular divisions were pushed
in while the others We're held back. If the National Guart
regiments had been given the opportunity to serve, does an!
one believe that they would not have done as well? To the
extent of their opportunities they did do as well.
To boast now as this writer does that the regulars have
the best records is to establish the whole complaint and con
tention that has been somewhat a raging one in army circles

THE HUNS CULTURAL MISSION

President Ebert says that Germany still mas a cui'ural
mission tn nerform and ethical treasures to best0W.
Does he refer to the mission, so enthuslashcdh! iheio'eu
upon at the opening of the war, to spread dernhan huaui
throughout the world? The precise meaning OF kulur Is
diHicult TO get at It is not equivalent to the Englsh cui-
ture." It signifies the whole German system OF nauonai
Superiority" But culture of a less comprehensive SORT
is recognized in Germany. Thus Professor Haeckel IN ms
"Thougbts on. the World War said four years ago: "One
single highly cultured German warrior, OF those VINO are
alas! falling in thousands, represents a higher lntelec'uai
and moral life value than hundreds of the raw children WnOm
England and France, Russia and Italy, oppose to them" And
the author of "Die Zuversicht' said in the same year: Apart
from the fighting qualities of these German troops, thelr
peaceful work behind all the fronts bears witness to a thor
ough spiritual culture" :.
Does President Ebert refer to The Germans cultural
work behind the front in Belgium? When he speaks of the
ethical treasures his nation has still to bestOw is he thinking
of General Bernhardis summing up of German morality?
Bernhard said: "The brutal incidents inseparable from every
war vanish completely before the ideaism of the main
result" 1

GERMANY'S KIND OF A LEAGUE

Germany wants to be\admitted to the league of nations
forthwith and unless such admission is permitted, they will
have to conclude that the league has been formed against them.
We would not be surprised to find that superstition correct. If
there had been no Germany and if there were no Germany with
the possibilities of a revival in it the league, or any league
might not have been found necessary.
But it should be noted that Germany proposes membership
for itself with a somewhat sinister suggestion. 1t is disarma-
ment on both sea and land by all nations, including England on
sea. 1t would be no hardship fr Germany to disarm on the
seas, since its navy has been bodily taken away, after it was
surrendered so ANONYMOUSLY. Why should Germany now
refuse to disarm on the seas? What has she to give up? And how
pleasant it must be to them to think of England sinking its
navy in the mad devotion to the league idea. Isn't Germany's
plea similar to that of the captured bandit who would have his
captor disarmed?

PLAYING II GAME

Some of The republicans in congress think that the presi-
dent tried to hand them a lemon. SO far as war time prohibi-
ton is concerned, no congressional action is necessary. The
president could set it aside, for he is the creator of it, or at
least it was left to his discretion and to'his judgment of the
conditions of the country. He can sci it aside by a mere sigma
ture. Just why he should have been so anxious to unload that
upon congress, while he is not willing to let congress have
anything to say about what is being done at Versailles, is not
clear to some of the republicans. But perhaps the president
has a better idea of the political game than his opponents. He
is a past master in it and we advise the said opponents to be
on their guard or they may be beaten in the game.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-06-07

Some republicans seem to regret that their party is in
power in both houses of congress. 1T devolves upon us now,
they reason. "to take up the odds and ends that are left and
make order and prosperity out of them. In other words we
will have to assume the responsibility for undoing what has
been DONE"
That is one view Of the situation and of the duty involved.
But it is only a partial view. Nor is it a patriotic view. The
party should also take into consideration that it is worth doing
such things, even if the doing cannot result in entire salts
faction to all involved. 1t is an opportunity to render service
of the highest kind and as such the majority that now rules in
congress should accept the situation. Evasion of this respon-
sibility is cowardice. The country needs the best and wisest
counsel in its reconstruction and it is admittedly better that
those not directly responsible for past actions should be called
to do such work. 1t will be well, indeed, if they realize the
responsibility and discharge the duties in a patriotic spirit.

Just why the American people are not allowed to read the
document to which they are to be asked to give their collective
signatures so promptly and without reservation or alteration Is
a SURPRISING question. According to the undenied statement
Of the Echo de Paris the president requested it to be kept
secret until he had time to come home and explain it TO his
people. He feared, SO it was alleged, that without such an
explanation from him we might misunderstood it and drift
into a premature and mistaken discussion.
MAY we. not suggest that he might like it better if we
undertook to keep entirely still about the treaty until his
arrival, when he would explain how it ought to be thought
OF anw how spoken of?
1t is a somewhat extraordinary situation for negotiations
that began in the avowed policy of open covenants openly
arrived at" In spite of that declared purpose and intention
there has probably never been a treaty about which the people
most vitality affected have been told less. Week after week
has passed and still the Americans do not know what the treaty
really contains and even congress and the senate, which must
do the ratifying is begging in vain for a copy of the treaty.
1 "
The Germans have copies and are discussing the contents,
but the senate of the United States is absolutely in the dark.
And when it is moved that copies be furnished, others in an
idolatrous spirit that is unaccomtable in Americans, cry out
as if it were treason to ask our representatives to tell us what
they are doing-or what they have done after it is done.

Until Germany gives signs of real repentance there can
be only one really effective league of nations in the world and
that is one composed of those who fought the great war to a

operation, should the same dangers threaten them again.
