Those news correspondents down on the Mexican border are kicking at General Funston and all others in authority, because they are not furnished transportation for themselves and their horses, and also taken into the general's confidence and permitted to send out state ments of just what he intends to do. The censor has got busy with them, and while they at first dodged and tele phoned news to El Paso from which it was sent on by telegraph, the censor put them on their honor not to repeat this offense. It will not be at all surprising if some of them are permitted to send no news at all unless they haul in their nerve and coil some of it up out of the way of the military operations. MANN IS THE MAN There is an abundance of candidates offered the republicans from whom to choose a man for a standard bearer during the coming election campaign, but none of; them seems to satisfy more than a small faction. Onej has a following in one section and another a small fol-j lowing elsewhere, but none seems satisfactoiy to many except Hughes. There seems to be a consensus of opinion that Hughes, and he alone, can carry the republican banner to victory. It is a remarkable feature of the campaign that this is so, for four out of five republicans asked why they want Hughes, can give no satisfactory answer. If you do not believe it go out on the street and broach the presidential question, and when some republican as serts his desire to see Hughes nominated ask him why, and see what your answer is. Ask him what Hughes has done that so endears him to his admirer and you will find as has been stated, that but few can tell you anything; about Justice Hughes more than that he is a member 01 the supreme court. If you want a nexemplification of crass ignorance get some of those who so desire to see Justice Hughes nom inated to tell you some thing about the man and his career and you will have it, for most of them know noth ing of him or his life work. Without meaning any disparagement of Justice Hughes it can be truthfully stated that less is known by the masses about him than of any of the other candidates mentioned for the place. Whv then this great popularity? The answer is that his boom is due to, and shows the power of the press. Mentioned first by one or two of the leading republican newspapers as a strong and clean man, available because he was not allied with either the standpatters or the progressives, and therefore an ideal man for purposes of compromise, the balance of the republican press took up the cry for Hughes and he sprang into publicity over night. He may be the most available man for the party under the circumstances, but that he is the strongest man the party could select is far from being proved. One man who has not been named for the place so far as we know, except by the Capital Journal would make in many respects one of the strongest candidates the party could select and that is the minority leader in the house, James R. Mann. He has shown himself a leader, with broad views and a quick grasp of affairs, a keen understanding of political situations, and a realization of the effects of congressional action in aiding or hampering the admin istration. He understands this apparently far better than most of the democrats in congress with him, and to his honor be it said he has, realizing these things, laid politics aside and acted first last and all the time as true patriotism would demand. If our republican friends want to elect a president and want a candidate that will come as near bringing home the political venison as any, "Mann is the man." A millionaire banker of Reno is in San Francisco de manding the annulment of his daughter's marriage to the son of a piano tuner. The girl's brother who is evidently acquainted with the banker's family is as ashamed of the match as the millionaire, and is also trying to have the marriage set aside. The chances are ten to one the banker's son has the better of the bargain but the old social law that city lots must marry western lands, and enamored dollars wed impassioned stocks demands en forcement. Former Governor T. T. Goer has a communication in Tuesday's Oregonian calling attention to the fact that no United States senator was ever elected to the presidency while senator. This should make our state treasurer look at his hole card while boosting Senator Cummins for the nomination. If nominated history might be apt to repeat itself. Owing to the getting the last part of one article tacked on the first part of another by the "make up man'' in the Oregonian yesterday, an almost tragedy was re lated. On page 8 under the title "Tragedy Recalled," the article was made to read: "On February :, 1914, at Helena, the woman who had been his companion for three years, pretty Annie Ruhl, took her own life by swallowing Seattle Board of Education." It must have been an awful death, with that indigestible mass of Board in her stomach and swallowed at such a long distance. Senator Weeks says "an income tax is an emergency tax." Senator Weeks is mistaken in the tense of his verb. Had he said "an income tax was an emergency tax," he would have been correct. From now on indefi nitely the income tax will be a regular thing in the tax line and it will be made to produce more and more of the country's revenues as time passes. In Europe it will be the greatest of all the taxes. A Mexican newspaper published at Durango, in its is sue this morning under the heading "Latest War News from America," furnishes some real startling news. It says among other things: "Villa has captured New Mexico and Texas. President Wilson is fleeing. Villa is marching north." We cheerfully confess the Mexican press has the poor American news gatherers "skinned a city block." From the registration lists it is fair to presume that the men of Oregon voted heretofore simply because the women couldn't, and they wanted to show the women folks how unimportant they were. Perhaps if we should now enfranchise the children, all the old folks would lose interest in the elections. Senator Chamberlain is obsessed with the idea that Villa's gang of bandits is composed of soldiers such as Germany or France sends to fight their battles, instead of ignorant riff-raff, half Indian, two-thirds coyote and the balance tarantula and mescal. WILLAMETTE NOTES The Idlest eveiu of the year in musical entertainments of "local note will be the annual freshman glee con test tonight at the First Methodist church at 7 :43. The church is a veritable 'forest, be ing almost entirely decorated with fra grant fir boughs with dogwood blos soms interspersed. The freshmen have been working night ami day del-orating the church nnd finishing touches were administered this afternoon. The results are well worth the effort's expended, however, and will undoubtedly please the audience which will attend to night. Each of the four classes have written a song and transposed it to music and the judges of the contest w ill need to mark close to award the first place with the attendant prizes, the big freshman glee pennant, as each class is putting forth every effort to be the winner. The seniors will appear in caps and gowns, and as is customary the jolly juniors will perhaps be re splendent in full dr.-- suits. The freshmen will have for the ac companiment to their song both tin pipe organ nnd piano. To those who are desirous of hearing something good they will be given the opportunity to do so at the church this evening. No ad mission charges. The reason for its be ing staged in the church rather than Waller hall chapel w as' to neenmmodate the large crowd. 10 ALUM -NO PHOSPHATE Made from Cream of Tartar Absolutely Pure Yesterday morning t ie student body assembled in front of Eaton hall and posed for a group picture. The picture will be unique in that several of the students will appear in it twice; after the camera was set into motion three of four young men ran around the cam era and posed at the opposite side for the camera when it fased that direc tion. The junior class, however, were not present as they observed a day sacred to every junior class: namely, the jun ior flunk day. The entire class left early in the morning and went out into the country for a picnic and remained until late afternoon. Archibald Tobie Second team: Ford Hidgway Brewster, ('apt.. .

Dr. Ponev- received a letter from President Ackermnn, of the Oregon j .Monmouth Mate .Normal school, in which he highly praised the delegation which represented Willamette at the recent oratorical contest, stating that were it possible he should like to have enrolled the entire c-oivd in his school at that place. Willamette sent a dele gation of II to support Frank Jasper in the state contest. Toncli Mathews is now busy getting his baseball and track material into shape. He is planning to enter three or four track men in the Northwest Pa cific conference meet at (. A. C. April 1. He has not as yet decided definite ly who will represent Willamette but will determine that later. i dainty place card, to which was tied a yellow ribbon.

Luize Terrazas, Jr., member of family once the great- est land holder in Mexico, says: "Villa will die fighting." This is good news, if true. All that General Pershing and I the army boys fear is that he will die running. General Funston is getting good and ready before starting into Mexico. He probably recalls what hap pened when the cry "On to Richmond" forced a prema ture start and ended disastrously. The debating tryotit last night at Willamette resulted in the following men being chosen to represent Willam ette tb i-s year in inter-collegiate de bate: Harold Eakin. Harry Savage. Walter (ileiser nnd Adolph Spiess. These four men will compose the two teams that will meet Pacific university in the near future in a debate on the question proposing government owner ship of railroads. Rev. Tames T. Moore, of Albany, Ore., will speak on "The Preacher as Prophet." at Kimball college auditor ium Thursday p. m.. nt .1 o'clock.
