PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, November 5, 1918 THE DAILY IOWAN The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week--Tuesday. Thursday, and Sunday--by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief Mildred E. Whitcomb Telephone Black 1757 Office Hours--8 to 12; 1 to 6 daily, Room 14, L.A. building. Managing editor Rowena Wellman News Editor--Agnes Kingsbury Humorous Editor--Elizabeth Hen lee Exchange Editor--Ethyn Williams Feature Editor--Ruth Stewart Sporting Editor G.W. Evans BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem--Business Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--daily, 103 Iowa Avenue "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."-Lincoln "DROP MINNESOTA" There is no disposition in athletic circles this season to put into effect the imperative, "Drop Minnesota," which was the title of an editorial written for The Daily Iowan two years ago. Nor is it alone because the Minnesota team has been handicapped by an incomplete schedule and the presence of only three stars in this year's lineup that Iowa feels new courage for the encounter. For years the Minnesota game has been lost psychologically before it was played. The Hawkeye eleven went upon Northrup Field in full anticipation of being devoured completely, The big scores which the Gophers piled up annually on the Hawkeyes seemed the inevitable conclusion of the trip. With last Saturday's defeat still pricking them and with the consciousness that they have the real stuff this season, the Iowa squad has entirely lost the feeling that the date for the Iowa-Minnesota game is a Jonah day. They must win. Second only to the disgrace with which Iowa followers have experenced on rarer occasions at the hands of the Aggies is the humiliation attached to the loss of the homecoming game. Upon our own field and in the presence of hundreds of friends and alumni, the Minnesota game should no longer be a bugbear. Minnesota's dread spell over Iowa has been broken and The Iowan predicts that after Saturday's contest there will be no more talk about dropping Minnesota. ARE THEY LOYAL AMERICANS? For the first time in years election depends upon something bigger than politics. Many a man is asking himself for the first time in his voting experience, "Who is the able man for this position?" and "Who is the man who has best stood behind the president and the administration?" Voters are laying aside the smaller issues for the one issue of the world today; politics has given way to patriotism. The voters of 1918 are investigating the attitude of candidates on war measures, on their cooperation with Mr. Wilson, on how many liberty bonds they have bought. Mr.Wilson's request for a Democratic congress has occasioned much discussion from the American people, but discussion not on political lines. A man does not criticise the president's action because he is a republican, he tries rather to consider whether the suggestion is not a good one and as a loyal American citizens tries to agree with the president's opinion. From all over the United States come reports of contests, and the questions at stake are questions of loyalty to our government, Whether Harry Hull or Majojr Ely is elected to congress from this district will depend on which candidate the voter deems the better American. The 400 votes of the S.A.T.C. of the University will indicate the opinions of 400 soldiers as to the men who will best further the interests of their uniform and the nation which it represents. It is safe to assume that the men who cast those votes will spend little time considering the political leaning of their choice for public office. When we receive returns of election of Nov. 5, 1918, we may know the names of the men whom the voters consider loyal Americans. BE AMBIDEXTROUS "The time will soon be at hand," declared the seer "when every child will be taught to use a typewriter before he learns to write by hand. Each child will be furnished an Underwood or Corona in place of the old fashioned slate, slate pencil, and "slate rag," now in disrepute. Granted that this is a somewhat exaggerated expressions of his though, nevertheless it must be conceded that the knowledge of type writing is decidedly advantageous. In this time of efficiency, why bother to write a thing laboriously by hand, when few minutes will find it dashed off on a typewriter? The saving in time and energy will well repay the investment in a course of this nature. It, too, trains the writer in habits of accuracy; no longer can one conceal his ignorance in spelling by writing two letters which might resemble an "i" or an "e" and placing the dot midway between the two. No. indeed, the rules of spelling must be observed. One cannot camouflage when typewriting. And added to this gain in efficiency and accuracy, comes the pleasure of sitting down before a complicated looking machine, and making obey one's will. There is that feeling of mastery! Then, too, one may bang away as hard as one cares--provided none of this mysterious appearing machanism is disturbed; the primitive instinct to make much noise is thus gratified. So, henceforth, when a sage tells you all should learn typewriting before all other arts, do not scoff! Accept the advice with a bit of moderation and undertake this branch of our education. BONERS Are you up on world politics? If not read these gems from a war issues class, and grow wise. "Lenine is a Frenchman, one of the five leaders of the Czecho-Slovaks that were in power at one time but didn't last long." "Czechoslovaks organized a party throughout the country, much like the Red Cross. They were only a local party, however, and were much hampered at the government. They did good work, though." "Rasputin was one of the leaders in the war. He was killed the Kerensky took his place." "Czechoslovaks was a class of Rusian people known at Bohemians. They were for the good of the Russian empire." "They (Germany) attacked Russia because they wanted to get an ice free sea-port, Germany's ports were all so far north that they were full of icy every winter." B.I.F.F.
