ONLY THREE LEFT Whitman Handicapped for Veteran Debaters. BROWN TEMPORARILY IN CHARGE Both Inland Empire Debates Will Be Held in WaUa Walla This Year- News Around th e College, Whitman is as badly handicapped for want of veterans in the debating line this year as she is in football. She will have three debates to win again this year with the University of Oregon, the University of Idaho and the Washington Agricultural col lege. Of the old men who have fought her battles on the rostrum the past two years there will be missed this year Marquis, Chittenden, Ringer, Campbell, Price, Cox and Guy Gallo way. Of the eight men who handled these three debates last year only Brown, Palmer and Baldwin are back. Brown is a host in himself, however. For five years he has won victories for the blue and the gold and is in shape to go into two of the three con tests this year. He has never lost a debate and is probably one of the very best college debaters to be found west of the Mississippi river. Palmer who was in the contest against the University of Idaho three years ago and again last year, is a ready and eloquent speaker. Bald win was in the Pullman team last year and a member of the Idaho team two years ago. "Hez" Brown has been given tem-j porary charge of the arrangements j for the year's debates by the execu-j tive committee and at a meeting of the old men which he called last night a provisional schedule of try outs was arranged. It was decided that the try-out for! the Oregon team which will debate; (with the University in Eugene on the 16th of January next, should be held under the brief system about the Ist; of December. Any member of a lit-1 erary society is allowed to compete; under the constitution of the Asso ciated Students. The three getting; the most point* on the brief submit-j ted and the ten minute speech made! from it will constitute the Oregon: team and will also probably handle one of the Inland Empire contests. The judges of this contest will be the coaches of Whitman's teams who will probably be Rev. Austin Rice. Pro fessor Hendrick and Professor Ly man. The Inland Empire debates will both be held at Walla Walla this; year some time in the spring. j The team to handle the remaining j debate will be gotten from the speak-i <>rs in the annual inter-society debate j between the Athenaeum and Phrena-j kosmian literary societies to take| place sometime near the first of Feb-j ruary. Work in the literary societies is] very active and much ot splendid new j material is being developed. It is ex-j pected that Whitman will give her usual good account of herself on the rostrum this year, notwithstanding the discouraging outlook at the first of the year. The oratorical contest this year will take place in Moscow. F. Nelson Cole of the senior class is Whitman's representative. A large number of rite new students are joining the lit erary societies. The Athenaeum re ceived twelve applications for admis sion at their last meeting and the Phrenakosmian, two. The Libeth rean and Philolithian societies have also organized and elected officers for the year. Iron Workers Still Talking.

PAID FOR AND tOT HiS L ENSE Children's Day Today and Hundreds Attended the Fair This Afternoon. Unless Providence wills it other ' wise, there will be no hitch in the wedding at the fruit fair tonight. The groom-to-be, Carlos Colby, a flaxen-hiared, handsome youth, em ployed by the John Stack company, sought the auditor's office early this morning with a friend and obtained his license. The young lady named in the license, who will become Mrs. Colby, is Miss Ida M. Phanes. Despite the happy little smile that played over the groom's features as the request for a license was made to Deputy Auditor Hart, there was a suggestion of determination apparent in the square chin that bespoke little fear in facing the curious crowds at the fair this evening to wed the girj of his choice. Probably the sly glances of admir ation cast his way by the lady-copy ists employed in the auditor's office while the necessary documents were being prepared were a trifle discon certing, as Deputy Hart took espec ial care in making out the important papers. Mr. Colbv pasßed over a couple of excellent cigars to the male members of the force and received a hearty "good luck to you" as he and his friend sought the open air. The ceremony will take place on the band stand and will be performed by Justice J. J. Huffman. The bridal couple will leave the handsome booth of the Davis-Kaser company in the northern part of the building and march through the crowd to the band stand. Immediately following the ceremony an informal reception will be held in the reception roo"*. Use Peacock Patent flour. Every sack guaranteed.
