Some Prices Extortionate.
When asked how it was possible
to realize a profit while selling food
at such low cost when other
restaurant and hotel proprietors
were protesting that no profits ex-
listed in the business, Mr.. Mckee
stated that prices for meals at other
restaurants were no doubt extor-
tomato
Il know one man personally" he
declared, who started into business
with practically nothing. He con-
Quoted a small restaurant. In one
year he had realized $4,000 profits
and now he is operating many res
taurants.
I'm many instances the profit
realized from the operation of
restaurants has been far greater.
1--WE could sell our meals at
still lower cost were we able to pur-
chase in as large quantities as do
many other restaurant men and pay
the same low wages" he concluded.
Superior Quality Meals.
All strikers are being fed without
charge at this restaurant. Accord
ing to many Omahans who have
dined in the new cafe the food is
of superior quality and we'll

saring things from Gen. Buck
that proved the quality of the
commander as an orator and
student of men. He was called
upon Unexpectedly to make
few remarks after the service,
and the boys were delighted to
hear him say:
No man who joins the Army
fails to be better man for hav-
ing joined
A native of Mississippi, Gen.
Buck has a high appreciation of
the American soldier, and his
own conception of the effect of
military life upon mans char

THE LIEUTENANT AND
GEN-;MACARTHUR

The 42d M. P.'s of the Rainbow Di-
vision were in Camp Merritt on their
way to Camp Meade. when a lienten-
ant of the camp entered their bar
racks and demanded to know why
pasteboard box had been put into a
can intended only for waste paper.
Sergt. Maj. Joseph H. Gills was tell
ing the officer that the rule would be
obeyed in the future, when Brig. Gen
Douglas Macarthur, one of the great
heroes of the war. entered the bar
racks. Every man rose to his feet
and the general said. Don't bother
about me, boyss you're tired, and so
am / thought I would come and lie
down on one of your hunks; what's all
the trouble amout?"
He was told of the camp lieutenants
complaint about the paste board box
and said: Keep right on obeying
their petty rules: you'll soon be out of
the Army and be your own men; life's
too short to do anything now. but
obey their petty rules"
- The lieutenant was sneaking out of
the room when Sergt Maj Gills
passed him and told him that the man
who addressed the boys was Gen.
Macarthur. The officer was surpriced
and said that he had read so much
about him that he would like to meet
him. Sergt. Maj. Gills assured him
that 1T would be all right and that
the general would talk with him just
as he would to doughboy,
But somehow that Officer did not
muster courage to meet the general.

until he boarded the ship at Brest
A sailor said to him as he came on
board: Warren is aboard waiting
for you.
The general was all daddy in a
minute. He forgot all about the war
and Secretary Baker, and thought
only of his little son; who threw
himself into his arms and cried for
joy"

six months, left the first of the month
to take charge of a church in Geor-
gia. Mr.. Carson has made many
friends while in the service. He has
shown the finest Christian spirit in
all ways and has helped many men in

man who knows him hopes that he
will see the finest success possible in
his new work.
Last Friday evening we had the

the right of free speech and free as
semblage should be at once removed"
Corp. Pierce did his best to convince
those present that our liberties are
in danger, and he was seconded by
Secretary Street and some others. The
discussion was not such as to allow
much chance for mapping by those
present.
Rev. H. F. Gilbert is the new secre-
tary i'm charge Of religious and edu-
cational work. Gilbert comes from

Away from the city's strife!
The towns fast pace
Is one mad race,
And not natural life.

In the ray that's shed
By the city's fateful lure -
And its siren call
Has marked the fall
Of many good and pure.

Oerruns the land you till
Who turns the sod,

BIG ATHLETIC EVEN

V-Hut was fortunate in having an
unusually good athletic evening We'd
nesday, April 81.
At 5:45 game of base ball was
started between the Motor Transport
Corps and the Base Hospital. Base
looked to be the best from the start
and won out by 16 to 8. The features
of the game were the home runs by
Miller of the M. T. C. with the bases
filled and also one by Hall of the same
team. Gard of the Base made five runs.
Lieut.. Harthorn of the labor bat
talon umpired the game to the sat
isfaction of both sides. About 800
spectators witnessed the game.
Program of Stunts.
Jack Herd, the homeless wonder,
\ gave a fine exhibition for the boys at
8 o'clock in the hut. This marvel of
the twentieth century does not seem
human at all. as he can get himself
up into such shapes. He bends back
ward and picks up money with his
mouth between his teeth. He also eats
pie in the same manner. He can tie
himself into bowknots, fiat knots. Glove
bitches. half bitches, and about any
other kind of knot. All that he can't
do in that line is to splice the two
ends together. and he says that some
of these days he will be able to
do that. ack does many other stunts
that we ordinary poor mortals would
think impossible. but words will not
tell how he does them all. Jack is not
twenty yet and halls from the west.
He is a member of the overseas re-
placement detachment.
After Jack left the stage the regu-
lar program of stunts followed. The
events were as follows: Try for goal,
chinning the bar. rope climbing, hop
step-jum standing broad jump, crab
race and shoe race. The prize winners
were: Sisler. with AZ points and first

This was the man God gave US when the hour
Proclaimed the dawn Of Liberty begun;
Who dared a deed, and died when it was done
Patient in triumph, temperate in power
Not striving like the Carsican to tower
To heaven, nor like great Philips greater son
TO win the world and weep for worlds unwon,
Or lose the star to revA in the flower.
The lives that serve the eternal verities
Alone do mould mankind Pleasure and pride
Sparkle awhile and perish as the spray
Smoking across the crests of cavernous seas
Is impotent to hasten OF delay
The everlasting surges of the tide.

Emerson once wrote to his
daughter: 1t matters little what
your studies are; it all lies in who
your teacher is" For he saw
clearly one of the most important
facts in education, that a great
teacher never fails to leave a great
mark on every student whose life
he touches The freedom of the
student to ask what he needs stimu-
lates the teacher to give what he
demands. The teacher who can
give his best and find it appreciat-
ed forthwith rises to higher levels
of power and the standard of his
associates must rise to keep pace
with him.
Is the American university sci
entific9 If We answer yes, we do
not mean that science Is only stud
bed, nor even that every individual
student is giving attention to sci
ence. America means opportunity
and the American university is an
intensifcation of this same defini-
tion of Emerson's. The university
does its part, not in forcing the
student over a curriculum of all
sciences or any sciences. These
schools are trying honestly to
bring before the student the pos
sibilities of human knowledge. To
say that the university is scientific
is to say that it is genuine, that it
is devoted to realities, not to make
believe shams. It is said that
Respect the Outside" was a fa-
vorite motto of the old education
in England.
The American university of to-
day is nodded by the most scien-
tific thought of the century. Let
the young men or women of today
ask, What knowledge is of most
worth to me2" In the course of
study of our American university
will be found the unhampered an
swer the materials for your own
answer, whatever it may be. And
whatever you may require, you
will not be turned away empty
handed.
The university of the future will
demand the character of the great
teacher, the man who believes in
truth, who believes in men, and
who knows how to lead men to
higher truths he knows.
We may thus answer Mr.. Spen-
GERS question: what knowledge
is of most worth2" in this way:
THAT WHICH Is MOST WORTH TO
ME-"
And the mission of the univer-
sity is to furnish the knowledge,
just this knowledge which l want,
and furnish it to me, college
student.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1919-02-20

education scarcely less defective.
These matters constitute the flow
er of education. The florist cult.
Yates the plant for the sake of the
flower. but he knows that without
care of the roots and leaves the pro
duction of the flower is impossible.
just as roots and stem and leaves
precede the flower and are neces-
sary in the interest of beauty, so
must the production of healthy
civilized life precede esthetic cul-
ture.
But the current education aims
directly at the flower. It neglects
the plant for the sake of it. In
anxiety for elegance it forgets sub
stance.
Accomplishments, fine arts,
beiles-letters and all those things
which are the effervescence of civil
ization should be wholly subordi-
nate to that knowledge and disci-
pline on which civilization rests.
Moreover, the highest art of every
kind is based on science! Without
science there can be neither perfect
production nor full appreciation.
Innate faculty alone will not suffice.
but must have aid of organized
training.
Intuition will do much but it
will not do it all. Only when
genius is married to science can
the highest results be produced.
Thus, l come to the final answer
to Mr.. Spencer's question:
What knowledge is of most
wortha" And to this question as
a whole and to all parts of it I find
one answer: SCIENCE"
Science is organized knowledge.
It should take precedence on the
one hand over knowledge that is
disorganized, and on the other
over classified information of what
ever sort which is merely conven-
tional, not resting on the eternal
verities, nor pointing the way to
wiser conduct of life. There are
some men, for example, who are
born to minister to the esthetic
feelings of others and to these
alone. There are some men,
Greek minded and Roman mind
ed men," as Emerson calls them,
who will find no surer road to cul-
ture and effectiveness than the one
trodden in Oxford and Cambridge
half . century ago. It is again not
needful for all men to learn all
sciences. If it be needful, it is inn
possible. Respect for knowledge is
one of the noblest lessons which
real knowledge teaches.
In other words l do not seem
clearly to realize that each course
of study should be individual. Each
man should follow as near as may
be, that line of effort which will
enable him to realize the best pos
sibilities of his own life.
A true teacher. thorough, alert,
devoted, is not reactionist. He
will not place the millineries of
culture above the realities, and
dead conventionalities above the
conduct with the living laws Of
God.
