Read The Optic

The Optic occasionally hears com.
plants from those who have had free
notices regarding meetings inserted In
the paper regarding the page and
column in which the notices appear.
Wherever paid notices are accepted.
effort Is made to place them as ear.
ly as possible where desired. The
paper, however, can take no respon-
sibility for the location OF news mat
ter. While the majority OF papers
charge for all notices OF meetings,
The Optics policy has always been
to insert such notices once free OF
charge. Local items are placed in the
news columns according to size. To
change this rule In a particular in.
stance would inflict additional work
on four employees Of the paper. Ev.
cry possible consideration Is given to
those who desire to publish calls Of
meetings, even to the crowding out Of
better news matter, but the paper ear
not undertake to place them In any
particular column. The problem OF
placing local matter, both headed and
short items. is left entirely in the
hands of the foreman, who must ar.
range his matter to suit newspaper
rule and to the foreman's difficulty,
but 1t would also tend to defeat the
intention Of The paper to have it's
matter So distributed on the pages
that no n may confine his attention
10 n or two pages. Again the ad-
vice is given to citizens to read The
Optic.

DEFICIENCY IN RAINFALL.
Only .25 of an Inch Of Moisture so Far

Aside from 20 of an inch of moisture
resulting from two and one-half inches

HARD QUESTION TO DECIDE
UNIQUE VOTING CONTEST WILL
TAKE PLACE AT WHITMAN
COLLEGE FRIDAY.
"Who Is the Prettiest Girl, the
HomIiest Young Man and the
Easiest Prof"

Who is the prettiest girl, the homli-
est young man, the easiest prof. at
Whitman college. These and several
other equally interesting questions
will be settled at the voting contest
to be held under the charge of the
Junior class on Friday morning.
Besides the most voting question of
the most beautiful young lady, the
question of who is the most conceited
student will be decided by his fell
lows students. The long mooted
question of who is the biggest bluff
fer in college will be passed upon and
the most popular member Of the fac
ulty will at last find out how the
students like him. All the girls will
get chance to pay off old scores on
the questions of the handsomest and
ugliest young man in school. The jul
niors sdecided they could not give the
boys an equal chance as there were
no homely girls in the institution to
vote for.
The student who "fllunks' most in
his classes will receive his just noto-
riety when elected "chief f1unkee''
along with the professor VINO f1unks
the most of his students under the
title chief fiunker." Then there is
another chap who will be dragged
from his books for once into a place of
prominence, that is the chief "poler''
or the student who dig at his lessons
all the time and takes no part in the
life around him.
Notice of the contest was posted on
the bulletin board early yesterday
| morning and excited much attention
from the students. All sorts of plots
were Matched to make the election
ludicrous. 1t was insinuated that the
juniors had gotten UP the scheme ia
enhance their class prestige as their
title to the most beautiful and the
most popular young lady at least
would not be disputed, but the class
| of 'O6 got the best Of this by posting
a notice that juniors were ineligible
to the contest and that any ballots IN
their favor would be thrown out by
| the Counting committee. The names
| of the winners of the contest will be
| published in the large book annual
| which the Junior class is getting out
Every student in the institution gets
one vote on each place in the con-
test

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Secret SER
vice agents all over the country are
on the lookout for Samuel Warren

HE FAvoRs RATE REGULATION.
Iowa Senator Would Be Glad to See
Senate Pass Some Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
William B. Allison of Iowa. one OF
the important leaders of the senate
has come out in unmistakable terms
in favor of railroad legislation.
Il am strongly in favor" said he
"of legislation giving the government
more specific supervision over the
rates of interstate carriers, and the
sooner such legislation can be passed
be done in the senate at this session
but l should be glad to see the house
bill or a modification of it passed be-
fore March 4. If it could be done,
an extra session of congress in the
fall might be averted"
DO you favor the Esch Townsend
bill as it stands?" was asked.
so far as l have been able to study
it, that seems to be a reasonable meas
ure, with all interests carefully safe
guarded. l cannot say that I would
be in favor of putting all of it's features
into law. There are some changes
perhaps, necessary. These could be
made in the senate
There is no differnc of opinion on
certain phases of railroad traffic as
they relate to the public. TIE question
of private cars, terminals and all other
discrimination of this character adj
mits of little or no discussion. 1t
should be done away with and the
sooner the better. The private-car
practice of the great packing houses
works hardships on the railroads them
selves.
Interstate transportation has grown
to such an extent in this country that
it needs some such regulation as the
president has proposed, and it is con-
tanned in the Esch- Townsend bill. The
question of time in the senate is, of
course, very important. We cannot
tell how long the Swayne trial will
take and there is only a month more
Of the session. The committee on in
terstate commerce will, Of course, call
for time to consider the bill after it
comes from the house. Should it be
reported to the senate, there must be
considerable discussion
