THE ANNUAL CLASS SCRAP
Whitman Freshmen and SOphomores
to Compete for HonOrs.

A great change has been made dur
ing the present year in the method of
conducting the annual class scrap"
between the freshman and sophomore
classes at Whitman. Heretofore the
class scrap" has been allowed to
take its own course. 1t has dragged
along all through the college year, not
only making it disagreeable for the
mem bers of the two lower classes but
for the rest of the institution as well.
According to the plan which has
been submitted to the two classes for
consideration, by member of the fac
ulty, the class "scrap" will hereafter
come off OH an appointed day, which
day shall have been we'll advertised in
advanre. The days program shall tie
entirely under the supervision of the
upper -classmen of the college who will
carry out the program, act as Judges
of all contests and declare the winners.
1t is planned to have the program
consist of athletic events such as foot
racing, weight throwing, jumping,
ppcuhiuSi anu hbulIJ 4uSt
event of the day will come a mammoth
cane rush, in which the members Of
the two Glasses will compete.
The idea as suggested has been given
over to the classes. and each class has
appointed committee of several
mem bers to make definite report as
to the attitude which the class should
take. Both committees agreed to try
the plan. Each class shall have the
privilege of appointing a committee of
five members. These two committees
will then get together and arrange the
program, but after the program has
been established and submitted to the
two classes for approval, it shall be
turned over to the upper classmen who
will superintend its fulhllment.

NATIONAL EXHIBIT
Interest Stimulated in All Sections in
Great Apple Show to Be
Held in Spokane.

Favorable action on the part of the
federal government at Washington,
ID. g. as we'll as by the railroads of the
country has stimula interest in all
sections in the national apple show to
be held in Spokane 10 December this
year. With the opening of the show,
still over month away, exhibits have
begun to arrive in such nun bers that
it has been necessary for the manage
ment tc arrange for free cold storage
accommodations to handle the fruit.
Exhibits from states as far east as
New York have Eegun to come in, al
though II is not expected that the bulk
of the entries will arrive until shortly
before the show opens in Decem ber.
The cooperation which the govern
mant promised will come ia the form
of judges from the department of agTi-
culture at Washington, ID. @. Mana
ger Fl. j. Nicely asked Secretary Will
son that judges be sent from the de-
partment of agriculture so that no
favoTitism be shown in awarding the
prizes.
The railroads have granted reduced
rates from all points amounting to less
than a fare and third for the round
"trip, with fret class tickets. 1t is
likely that they will reduce freight
aud express rates on apples sent for
exhibit, this matter now being under
consideration.
Oklahoma, Colorado, Missouri and
North Carolina are among the states
which are preparing state exhibits aside
from the individual entries from each
of them. Several apple sections in
British Columbia have appointed
agents to prepare exhibits which will
be sent to Spokane. Lewiston, Idaho,
al SO has appointed an agent and has
issued letter of instructions to every
apple grower in the district in an
effort TO get prize winning exhibit.

THE sCHMrTZ DECISION.

Great Impotence Is manifested by

decision of the District Court Of APP

ity OF the Indictment Of the late mayor,
Eugene r.. Schmitz. The decision re-
versed the lower court I'm many OF its

were void in that they failed to state

other two members OF the court JUS

Schmitz and Ruef were indicted for
extorting money from business houses.
The court holds that the threat ON
which the money Is alleged to have
been extorted was not a threat to do

RUSSIAN CONDITIONS.

Some days ago New Workers were
treated to lecture on the revolution
airy struggle in Russia, by Prof. Paul
Miliikoff. a member of the third duma
and the founder OF the Constitutional
Democratic party Of Russia. He came
all the way from Russia to explain ia
the American people the situation in
his country, From all accounts Of the
address. It seems that 1t was scholarly
and conservative effort. The speaker
Is no demagogue, no agitator.
The Constitutional Democrats. he eX-
planned. occupy Il middle position be-
tween the reyolutionists who would es-
tablish republic and the reactionaries
who desire TO re-establish autocracy.
The Constitutlonalists would establish
true parliamentary government under
a constitutional sovereign. That is to
say. the car would yield up of his
own volition TO the national assembly
certain of the powers which he now
possesses. While the revolutionary
party hopes to gain constitutional
rights through Il revolution, the Con-
stItutiopalists hope to obtain the same
object by the co-operat ion of the Du-
ma and the Cur. The Reactionaries
are opposed to all popular measures.
As for land reform. which Is the
most pressing question Of all and the
one In which the vast majority OF the
people OF the empire are vitality inter-
ested, the three parties differ as fol-
lows; The Revolutionists demand 1.-THE
whole land for the people the people
to make the division in their popular
assemblies The reactionaries are for
no change whatever. But the Con-
stitutlonal Democrats propose an ex-
tension of the reform of 1861 by maxi
ing additional allotments to the COM
munes from the Crown lands and from
the larger private estates, the latter
compulsory sale at a fair price. to be
agreed upon by committees OF repre-
sentatives of the peasants and the land
owners.
The speaker admitted that the pros
pect of success for his party was not
encouraging at present. Yet he had not
lost hope. The constitutional principle.
he explained. may flicker, but must
remain alive: and among the sources
that feed II is the sympathy of the AM
erican people.
The peasants it seems, are still la
boring under the delusion that all would
be well il only the Car did not have
so many bad counselors. The peasants
must be enlightened as to the real con-
ditions.
