Evidences have cropped out in one place and in another Those are ™~| skirmishes, the firing by the outposts. Men, and strong men,/ wedded to the old order of things, have affected to scoff at} these manifestations. No person is so blind as an old-timer, and no person so impenetrably in the dark as an old-time poli- tician, Still, you cannot destroy a fact by scoffing at it You may retard a truth, you may reject a truth, but you cannot rescind a truth, Hi This situation is nowhere morte marked than in our poli The party designation is no longer a fetich, The polit i The slogan, “Stand by the or- ganization,” provokes more jeers than cheers. Within the past two or three years we have seen the once solidified re- publican party split into two wide-apart wings We have seen also a similar division in the democratic party. Inevitably the political alignment in this country will re solve itself into a radical party and a conservative party. | I do not apply the term radical in the offensive sense in which it is always used by a hide-bound conservative. I mean an OE r | Ks) 1 =e EY Te js the subject you must write about. There will be $20 in prize money to be distributed to the boys and girls who write the best compositions. This money will bo divided this way: Wirat prize, $5; second prize, $3; third prize, $2, and ten special prizes of $1 each. In judging these compo sitions, Unele Jack will take into consideration the penmanship, spelling, originality of composition aud neatness «of your manuscript. Ali compositions must be written in ink, on one aide of the paper, and your name, age, school and street address MUST BE AT THE TOP ot the first sheet of paper, Under no clreumstances may your compo- sitions be more than 200 words in length.

NEW MEMBERS RECEIVE their election announcements on Sunday. The process is this. There are 11 National Sororities represented at the University of Washington. About 230 out of the 860 girl students are members. AT THE BEGINNING of each year nearly 60 new members are recruited.

We, who want to make life more worth living, should be careful to not fill up hours, or days, designedly set apart for the expression of the best in every one of us, with mat- ters which can be SETTLED JUST AS WELL at another time. Why not finish the campaign Saturday? Sunday, as used by the Sororities in this way, is needlessly abused.
