ton Of Mr.. Bankhead to the fact that that
gentleman's native state had but a few
days ago passed a bill making all bonds
payable in gold. In conclusion, Mr.. Sayre
argued eloquently for the use Of gold from
the standpoint Of justice and honesty, as
such action would uphold the nations in
tegrity and fortify its credit.
Tho Closing Speeches.
Mr.. Leahy, whose delivery was the most
powerful Of any Of the speakers, resumed
the argument for the negative. He said
that If the proposed measure was enacted
the supply Of gold would not equal the de-
mand. and the utility of silver having been
taken from us. the country's Industries
would be paralyzed and general disorder
and ruin would prevail. Altogether, he
took rather a gloomy view of the prospect.
Mr.. Brantley and Mr.. Achenbach then
followed in brief speeches. summing up the
strong points.
The judges retired, and in a few minutes
Mr.: John B. Cotton announced their de-
cision in favor Of the negative. The usual
demonstration followed, and the first de-
bate was over.
The friends Of the Columbian debaters

Whole Subject of Finance.


Mr. Bankhead who was the next speaker.
made very pleasant impression upon the
audience. The question of the evening
involved not only the question of bonds
and their redemption, but embraced the
whole subject of finance and the entire
scheme of governmental monetary control.

submit what each side of the question is
contending for. The affirmative side stand
for the single standard-Sold and nothing
else; no silver and no greenbacks-which
means a contraction of the volume Of cir
culation, low prices for the products of la
Dor, an appreciated and hard to get cur
rency. We will argue for a system that
will be for the good of all the people, not
only including the bond holder and creditor.
but the farmer, mechanic, miner and mer-
chant" He then briefly reviewed the mon
etary history of the United States, and
claimed that the present low price of silver
was due not to its fall in value but to the
fact that it has been demonetized by a
stealthy piece of legislation.
Mr.. Bankhead was frequently interrupted
by applause.
Mr.. Sayre next spoke on the affirmative

BOHEMIAN DANCING.

There We're many and merry gTotesQus
dances among the early Bohemians, al
though the church was often hostile. Some
of them remind us Of the Whitsun-aIes
and the village festivities which bad such
a charming laureate in Robert Herrick,
Those We're, indeed. days when
''Merrily went their labor,
Andminbly Went theirtoes''
But gradually. owing to the spread
throughout the country of religious opin-
ions, very much corresponding TO those
Of our own PuritaHs, the dance became
an object of spiritual teaSUre.
1t was in the sixteenth century that the
thunderS OF the church began to be directed
against il with the greatest severity. None
were more forward In these attacke
than the members OF the Bohemian brother
hood one chapter of our authors book
is devoted to an account of these oppo-
nents. In 1926 and 1866 the Diets passed
l1ws in restraint Of the exCeSses of dane
ing. But one OF the greatest of its enc
mics was The famous Simon LOmnicky, an
author who plays a conspicuous part in
the Bohemian troubles at the end of the
sixteenth and the beginning Of the seven
teenth century
Still for all these phiIippics, dances
went on among the Rohenians, on saintss
days and holidays, in the market place.
and around the maypole The peasants
had a hard time of it, but they stflI
danced, just as the Polish rustics did
in spite of the grieyous corvee, oras even in
the old time OF serfdom the Russian
mOujik enjoyed his chorovod in the even
ing. For the Slav, as we have said be-
fore, loves dancing just as he loves sing
ing. Long, too, did the people beIieve-peH
haps in some parts they believe still-thas
the sun dances on an Easter Sunday, a
fond thing. perhaps, to give credence to,
