agitated by campus leaders, and pros.
poets are favorable for a large number
OF these contests before school closes.

published. Individual pictures Of the
entire personnel of the student body
appear in the volume, and the different
organizations club, and associations all
have group pictures in the book. The
collection of college jokes contributed
in the joke contest promises to be the
best collection Of school jokes that has
been in flicted on the reading public
FOR some time past.
The students from out Of town are all
busy writing letters to the graduates of
their high schools, urging them to at
tend Willamette next year.

their summer work. Several Of the
graduates will teach next year, a goodly
number having secured positions in the
different high schools of the state. As
usual several will canvass with books,
while others will sell the old reliable
aluminium, the vocation that seems to be
especially popular among the older stu
dents.

plans and Architect Henry Carl, are to
be highly congratulated for their unus.

FOREIGN TRADE HELPS.

One of the guarantees which the
country enjoys against business de-
preston and dull times, in larger de-
gree than ever before, is the scope and
value of it's foreign trade. Never, in
the history of the United States, was
the worlds market for American prod
Gets so wide and profitable as it is now.
The enormous increase in the demand
for manufactures made in the United
States is especially significant because
it has taken place while the home mar
ket has been exceedingly favorable to
the absorption of merchandise which
might easily be pressed more vigorously
for sale abroad if the nearby consump-
ton were less satisfactory to producers.
Many American manufacturers have
been comparatively careless of distant
customers because they have been fully
occupied meeting the wants of patrons
at home.
This foreign trade can be expanded
rapidly when it is most needed. Ameri-
can competition with Old World rivals
will become much more formidable
when the country will be most benefited
by such commercial development

BAD POSTAL SERVICE.

Almost everybody has known for
some time that there was something
wrong with the postal service, but it
remained for Senator Bristow to point
out the trouble in a debate in the sem
ate.
1t appears to be due to the enactment
of a very ill-advised provision in an
act passed by the Sixty-first Congress.
The service had already been on The
eight-hour basis. but this law made it
vigorously compulsory that the eight
hours of work of the postal employee
should in every instance be comprised
within the limits of ten consecutive
hours. Under this arrangement, al
most no shifting of hours was possible.

of the work; and it is estimated that

greater men than Sampel ]. Tilden
has long. been recognized by students
of his life and character. Through add
ed opportunity others have excelled
him in achievements, but the innate
greatness of the man has rarely been

Additional light is thrown on his high
sense of honor by the publication of
John Bigelow's diary which shows that
he could have had the office of presi-
dent, to which he was elected, if he
had been willing to pay the price in
cash. 1t was well understood at the
time also that millions of his country
men stood ready to seat him in the ex-
ecutive chair by force If he had said the
word.
He chose rather to put aside the
great honor than to obtain it through
possible bloodshed or by the use of
money.
Four years later he could have had
his party's nomination again, with al
most a certainty of election but he
would not.

high minded patriots and was out of

PROGRESSIVES.
Any effort to fight the Republican,
bull moose battle of last summer over
again would be a sheer waste of ener-
gy. What, if any, high crimes and
misdemeanors the national commit
tee and the Republican convention
committed by strictly following the
precedents and rules of the party is a
question for history. But future rules
and methods vitality concern every
thoughtful Republican, and assuredIy
this is a good time to consider soberly

denotes
There is nothing revolutionary in
the statement issued by the senator's
and others who attended the Chicago
conference. The question of southern
representation is old; that of recog-
n1zing state primary laws is new in
one sense and old in another, since 1t
rev1ves the issue of state unit rule; the
other questions relate to the power of
the national committee the proper
settlement of contests, etc. Issues of
doctrine and party creed had better,
as Mr.. Borah thinks, be left to time
and tide.
There is no national election in
sight just now. There is no need of
any campaign for the capture of
southern or other delegates A candid
and honest discussion of party organ
izatfon and party policy with a view
to modernization and true representa-
ton of the disinterested voters would
be beneficial from every point of view.
