PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, December 8, 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 BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H. Weller, chairman, E.M. McEwen, E.S. Smith, Gretchen Kane, Alice Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson 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 Hendee Exchange Editor Ethyn Williams Feature Editor Ruth Stewart Sporting Editor G.D. Evans BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem--Business Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--daily, 103 Iowa Avenue "I have never had a policy. I have simply tired to do what seemed best each day as each day came."--Lincoln. WILSON The Paris Temps remarks that the president of the United States comes to France, as her soldiers came, from a sense of duty. America rejoices that she has such a man to represent her hundred millions at the council which will decide the fate of generations to come. The world has been made "safe for democracy" through the suffering and anguish of millions. Our president and his colleagues at Versailles hold the future of the world in their hands. They are to determine whether a new brotherhood of nations shall spring from the chaos, or whether four years of devoted sacrifice shall have been made in vain. Americans, the war has been won, and the vital days are at hand which may make another such war forever impossible. Woodrow Wilson's responsibility is no less today than six months ago. He needs our cooperation now as never before. Letters rise above partisanship and give support in these trying times, to the man who is safe-guarding the ideals for which we have fought. Let us rally to the support of the man of the hour, Woodrow Wilson. SHOP EARLY Christmas is coming. "Seventeen shopping days remain 'tll Christmas." This year we hardly need the annual prod, "Do your shopping early." How good it seems to turn our whole-hearted attention to Christmas lists, once the bane of the winter season. This year we get them out with glee, and welcome the prospect of buying gifts for countless cousins. Last Christmas lacked her usual cheer. We could not feel the joy of the season with such uncertainty and worry in our hearts. But today we begin to think about those gloves for Uncle Hen, Aunt Mary's tea set, and once more rejoice! THE QUALITY OF MERCY The crop of knowledge is nearing harvest time. In spite of the "devastation" of influenza, which has threatened almost every student, in spite of the "drouth" of military duty, in spite of the "beating sun" a working when fatigued, Fate brings ever nearer the end of the quarter, the time of separation of the wheat from the chaff. To many sturdy "plants," no fear is borne by thoughts of the threshing process. Many of the frailed plants, however, weakened and overburdened, dread this rigorous and severe time. But "the quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as the gentle dew from heaven." May not the instructors, in the kindness of their hearts, graciously distribute the "gentle dew" and have mercy on those who have so lately suffered the effects of military discipline and the rigors of weakening pestilence? THE WORLD'S GREATEST GIFT For the United States so loved the world that she gave the greatest gift of history. The largest sum ever raised by any nation at any time was the total subscription to the United War Work fund. Seven war relief organizations got over twenty-three million dollars. Unusual circumstances did not prevent the campaign from being a success. The signing of the armistice, the demobilization of the army, and cessation of all war activities were not hindrances to the movement. Workers everywhere went up and down the land. Americans willingly gave to humanity. The war was ended and we were glad then we gave to help mankind. Men, women, and children forgot self and extended material confidence to the rest of the stricken beings of the world. The United War Work campaign means much to us today. In the future the true significance will be realized. We are sure to receive interest in full. OFFER NEW COURSE ON PEACE During the next two terms, the departments o fhistory and economics, sociology, and commerce will offer jointly a two-hour course dealing with problems of peace and reconstruction. It will be open to all students except freshmen. GIRLS HEAR MRS. ROCKWOOD Mrs. E. W. Rockwood gave a talk on "The University Woman in the Community," at the freshman lecture Thursday. She emphasized particularly the important place which the freshman woman will hold in her community in the future and the need of keeping up a high moral standard among the women in order to fulfill successfully her part in life.
