Page Two The Daily Iowan State University of Iowa Sunday, November 24, 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 tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."----Lincoln. RECIPROCITY Everybody who knows anything about newspaper publishing----and nowadays that means the majority of people----knows also that the principal element in holding down the subscription price is the advertising. In general the rate of subscription alone would no more than pay for the white paper, often not so much as that. Aside from its commercial value to the business man, and its educational value to the reader advertising is a mighty factor in dissemination of news, and so it has become a powerful influence in the advance of civilization. Think of what the newspaper has meant to us in the past four years and more of war. Thanks to its advertisers, the subscription price of The Daily Iowan is maintained at a lower rate than that of any other university paper in our acquaintance. The benefit accrues to the students of Iowa. Happily this advantage is in general appreciated, and our subscription list this year is the largest in the recent history of the paper, if not in all its history. But this is not what we started to say. The support given to the student paper by Iowa City business men imposes a corresponding obligation toward these merchants on the part of Iowa students. It is not too much to suggest that students form the habit of patronizing merchants who advertise in The Iowan. The result will be of mutual profit for these are the live and dependable business men of the city. We believe, as do they, that The Iowan gives them value received through our advertising columns but this does not lessen the obligation of University students. A little pains to read the advertising and to remember the merchants who are loyal to student interests is both fair and advantageous. Let us have reciprocity. A FORGOTTEN TREASURE The librarian in Ranney library looked up startled. Someone had entered! Six weeks the librarian had waited. Every day she had dusted and arranged her treasures in the hope that a visitor might wander over that lonely threshold. Her eyes sparkled now that the opportunity was at hand for her to display the beautiful books with hand painted illustrations, the "first editions," the vanities of generations ago, and the case of costly art treasures entrusted to her care. Even the old Swiss music box would play with new inspiration she thought. Then the stranger spoke. "I am an Iowan reporter," she said, "is there any news from Ranney?" News? None except her own entrance. She left and a deep peace born of months of solitude fell again upon the old library. In distant cities, our students would gaze upon such a collection with ready appreciation. Here, accessible to all tempts only moths. B. I. F. F. Well, folks, it seems kind of funny, doesn't it, to think that it's really over? Of course there's an awful lot to do yet before things across the creek are by any means settled, but I guess we're safe to say that the war's over, and don't need to apologize for all the racket we made that Monday. Anyhow, the Kaiser's gone on a visit, the dear old Vaterland is having an exciting little picnic all its own, and the boys have reached the Rhine. Nitchyvo, or whatever it is the Russan say, about all the rest of it. The war is really over, and we'll all say Hallaloo. But isn't it funny the way there's always a lot of little drawbacks to everything good? The only thing that prevents us when we think of that, from going out and sticking our head in the mud, is the thought that for everything bad there is some kind of a recompense. Dear me there we go, off the subject again. You'd know our father was a preacher and our mother a teacher, wouldn't you, now? To return to the drawbacks, which can be found even in the peace for which we're so glad,----isn't it funny how sort of lost a fellow feels, with no big patriotic purpose to color the every day work with a kind of glory that not even all the horrors could quite take away? Why, here we had no more than got ourselves trained to the place where we could drink even cocoa, without sugar, than the sugar supply was eased up. Our knitting had just reached a point of real speed and accuracy, and here there's nothing left to knit for. We look with tears of unrequited toil upon the piles of laborious socks in our bureau, waiting for real winter weather to be sent to our brother,----who will never have a chance now to wear them in Berlin. We know a girl who has one of those brass bars that lieuts scatter around among their lady friends, and the poor thing is nearly crying her eyes out because now the fellow that gave it to her isn't going to get his commission after all. She says she used to say things about the Kaiser because he wouldn't get out, and now she feels madder than ever at him to think he didn't give some warning of what he was going to do. If she'd only known, she could have had a real lieutenant instead, but she passed him up because in civil life he was president of the Epworth League, whereas the other was a leading frat man and a swell dancer. Another sad thing about the war ending so sudden-like is the embarrassing position it puts a lot of people in. There are all the students who were awfully worried about spending Dad's money when any campaigns came along, but had to use it for education to prepare themselves to help with the reconstruction. And now here the time for the reconstruction is all at once with us, and what are the earnest helpers going to do about it? Well in honesty they can't do anything but turn in and give their best whether it be in labor or even in some of that money of dad's that would otherwise go for nothing. When we run to the window at half past five and watch the flag come down for retreat while the band plays The going to look to us to take our turn little bit of thinking, and realize that there's plenty to do yet to keep that flag still waving, and that when the boys come home they are [g]oing to look to us to take our turn at the work they have begun.
