brating his Goth birthday. "Marse Hen

on the gulf, near Fort Meyer Fla.
1t was expected that Mr.. Watterson
would deliver an address here during
the state fair, but the recent death of
his son, who fell from the window of
a New York office building and was in
stantly killed, has 50 wrought upon the
colonels mind that he has decided that
he will never appear again in public.
"The death of a dearly loved daugh-
ter, followed by the appalling tragedy
which took from me a son who was
the very apple of my eye, leaves me
stranded and helpless and wholly un-
equal to any kind Of publicity. Before
left home I cancelled all of my
speaking dates and resolved never to
again appear before any audience

Mr. Watterson addressed to President

laymen of The Presbyterian church in
the southern states of America.

Whitman Nay
Gefin Debate

Aroused by editorial comment in the
college papers of the northwest and
by the letters from the other compet-
ing schools, Whitman college has de-
termined to put an orator in the field
and make her best attempt to pull
down the oratorical contest this year
There was so little interest in the ora
torical cone est that Whitman decided
to drop the matter for this year, and
Put forth all her energies towards win
ming the one next year
This decision was communicated to
the other two colleges interested,
Washing on state college and Oregon
agricultural college. The latter school
took the matter up quite vigorously
and in a letter to the debate council
protested the action. The Barometer,
he o. A. c. college paper, had an edi-
torial recently that spoke freely the
views of the "aggies' on Whitman
dropping out.
So general has become the feeling
that Whitman should be represented
that the college debate council has de-
termned 10 take the matter UP an" i
possible put a representative in the
field Several have volunteered to enter
a local tryout for the intercollegiate
contest and it is more than likely that
Whitman will be represented. Among
those who have already entered are
Vernon Cooke, Alva Kilt, Chester Max
ey, George BohannOn and Gladys
Smith.
Notwithstanding the fact that a try
out will be held for this years inter
collegiate contest, it is probable that
another will be held in May, SO that
after this year the orator will have
plenty of chance for preparation. Whit
man has plenty of material, according
to the debate council; but a general
apathy in oratory has come about
through the little interest shown by
the students in supporting the activity.
