"Middling," was the answer of Ad-

Salvation Army Christmas relief FUND
for the poor.
1T is not quite as good as last year
The Owls got in a little ahead of us
this year and the contributions OF

instead of to us as usual.
Il think we will have enough to dc
with what we wish, however, We have
81 families on the list and are going
to send boxes to them ALL"

Objects 10 Charges Filed By spok'
ane HIGH
REGISTRAR NADER DECLARED FAIE
NO ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE
cOLFAx DEBATERs AND DE-
ClDED ON MERITS.

An indignant protest comes from the
Washington state college to the charge
of the Spokane high school that Regis
trar Nader of the state college was
unfair in his vote as judge in the re-
cent debate between Colfax high school,
and the Spokane school,
The Pullman professor says that II
he had any sinister motives which
would have affected the fairness of his
decision it would have biased him in
! favor of the Spokane school which was
the larger institution and hence a big
ger feeder for the agricultural college
He strongly disclaims prejudice of any
! sort in the matter.
The charge of conspiracy alleged by
Principal Cloyd is regarded as alb
| surd at Pullman and a dispatch from
that place says:
The reflection upon Mr. Nader re-
gistrar of the Washington State col
lege by Principal Cloyd and Professor
Libby, relative to the Spokane-C olfax
debate, is causing much comment
The charge of conspiracy is declared
to be absurd.
Mr.. Nader it is argued, was invited
to act as judge, always an ungraci-
GUS task, and at considerable personal
inconvenience consented to act, then
gave to the debate his best attention
and rendered a decision in accordance
with his best judgment. That he is
entirely competent there can be no
doubt. He is a graduate of the state
college and holds his masters degree
from Columbia university, the depart
ment of political science, an institu-
ton which Mr.. Cloyd himself has at
tended.
One might fear that the Colfax
judge should be prejudiced in favor of
the team from his own town, or that
the Spokane judge might be prejudiced
in favor of a school and a department
with which he had lately been con-
nected, but it is declared there could
be no possible motive for an unfair
decision on the part of Mr. Nader
He had no acquaintance with any of
the debaters. Were he disposed to
favor either team from the sinister
motive of pleasing the school, it is held
the stronger motive would have been
on the side of the larger school, but
instead of this his only motive was
to see the best debating team win. If
in his judgment he differed from
others, then that is not an unusual in
cident in such matters.
1t transpires that the state depart
ment of public instruction had first
selected Professor Beach, then Pro-
fessor Sampson, but both of them
found it impossible to accept. Profess
sor Shaffer of Cheney was then asked,
but it appeared that personal questions
rendered this choice Objectionable to
Colfax. Mr.. Nader was then appointed
and accepted. Had he had the slight
est hint that his services would be
unacceptable to either side he would
have declined.
The protest of the Spokane high
school will be presented to the COM
mittee in charge of state league de-
bates which meets at Bellingham on
December 26.

Interstate Commerce Commission
Has Found Some Excuse
SAYS CONDITIONS ARE ALARMING
GRAVE SITUATION CALLS FOR
REMEDY BUT NO AUTHORITY
TO ACT EXISTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-The inter-
state commission in the annual report
to congress gives much space to the
car shortage. 1 says: prosperity
has given high prices on all classes
and commodities of stipulated produc-
ton until business far exceeds the
carrying capacity of the railroads."
"The conditions existing in the
northwest are alarming. The larger
roads say they refuse to ship their
own cars beyond their own lines be-
cause other lines practically confiscate
them for use for local traffic. One
road claims 80 per cent Of its cars
are in use by other roads refusing to
return them. We are told every car
and locomotive building works are
running to their limit and orders now
placed for rolling stock cannot be filled
within a year.
Whatever the cause, whatever the
effect, the fact remains the roads do
not move the volume Of traffic offered
and shippers are suffering to a degree
unbearable.
"Such a grave situation calls for
every remedy that can be usefully en-
ployed. The commission is without
authority to deal effectively, however,
without awaiting authority and inves-
tigating to ascertain the cause and the
remedies applicable" 10
