mlsused. will cite England as an example
OF what mean. From the time of the aboli-
ton OF the Saxon heptarehy to the present
time Great Britain has steadily progressed in
the art of government.
Ii there were responsible Ministry there
could be no important measure stifed in the
committee-room owing to influence. Jobs
would be abolished. systematic, intelligent
and continuous form of government would be
instituted. AT this time all important meas
ures are submitted to committees, who work
in secret session and who surprise or disgust
the public quite often as they do anything
worthy OF commendation. This system would
ehectually do away with boodling lobby and
would enable everything to be settled on its
merits by debate. Whenever the Ministry
should dissolve the House the question would
at once go to the people and they would decide
every great governmental difficulty.
]. G. Coleman of San Francisco was the
next speaker. He said:
In reply to the statement that the meetings
OF committees are secret, may say that by a
simple vote the Senate can order published
BILE that legislative body growing in power,
with the calm superior judgment of the Senate
removed, would care tor the veto power of the
President? In England the veto power had
not been exercised for century and half.
The recent strike is an example of the fallacy
of the doctrine favoring a responsible minis
try; the Ministers would have been forced to
pass laws favorable to the majority or they
would soon go out of Office. The President,
against the will of the Governor of Illinois,
sent United States troops to the riots at Chi
cago and the high handed measures of the
strikers were soon put down. We might have
been suffering from that strike yet had it not
been for the supreme power vested in the
President. In this country our interests are
different from those of England. Our terri
tory is SO much greater that our Senate is an
absolute necessity. 1t would indeed, be very
humiliating to our President were he to be
as that of Queen Victoria.
Charles Quayle closed for the affirm
ative. He summed up the argument in
favor of a responsible Ministry in the place
of Cabinet. He referred to the great crisis
of the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln
carried through successfully great con-
flict, often in defiance of his Congress. The
springing up of war after President
had been in Office for two years would
leave US helpless if he were incapable of
managing the struggle. "Our plan is not
to destroy the Senate" said Mr.. Quayle,
"but to allow the President to name his
premier and to allow the Premier to choose

letic field,'' said Mr.. Keller, "but this is
the first time in the history of California
high schools that an intellectual contest
has ever been arranged"
I. Golden of the Lowell School was in
troduced into the chair by Mr. Keeler, and
after few remarks Fred Dorety opened
the debate in the affirmative.
Mr.. Dorety argued that the present
method of conducting the English Gov
ernment is superior to that of this country
in many ways. He said briefly:
Our institutions are q growth and we must
consequently develop as the Nation grows. If
we find that the experience of England can
teach US anything it is our duty to follow it,
and contend il has taught us great dea l.
The advantages of a Ministry are many and
tend to educate the people. as they vote direct
ly on national questions every time dissolu-
tion OF the House takes place. 1t would not
destroy the power OF Congress, but would har-
monfze the various branches of the Govern
ment and expedite legislation.
j. Frank English then spoke in the mega
tive. He commenced with a quotation
from "Pudd 'nhead Wilson, that e" Differ
ence of opinion MAKES horseracing, and it
also makes debates" said the speaker. !"
Then he continued:
ihe general tend ency OF All government
is toward oppression. We argue that in
our system, we have it to-day, rest the
security and happiness of the people. The
present constitution of our Senate is perfect.
II is an everlasting body, as one-third retires
each two years, and this is the best curb on
hasty legislation that we could have.
Mr.. English is very smart speaker.
He made many points by his manner
and by his witticisms.
w. B. Reynolds followed for the affirma-
tive and said in brief:
The purpose OF our argument is to show that
the substitution OF responsible ministry is
practicable. The last speaker appealed more
to your hearts than your heads. The cardinal
evil OF our present system is the separation of

dent OF the minority. Our Government.
protects The rights of the minority, and
under our present system they are amply
protected. The experience in England
proves that the responsible Ministry form
of government is failure in more re-
spects and in more important features
than those our opponents in debate at
tribute to the Government in this country.
To establish a British form of government
in this country would be worse than folly.u
The judges then retired. They were
absent for nearly an hour, and when they
returned they reported that the debaters
had argued on five specific points. Three
of these had been sustained by the Oak
land boys and two by the Lowell School
orators, and the honors were therefore in
favor of the Oakland High School.

The debate was based on the following

BERKELEY, CAL, April "a. - At a
wildly enthusiastic meeting the freshmen
class of the State University decided to
challenge the sophomores to rush" to
be held on the campus the night before
class day, May 8. The freshmen appeared
very sore, both physically and otherwise,
over the overwhelming defeat admins
tered by the 'sophies" in the Bourbon
rush yesterday afternoon, and as means
OF aVenging the trounclng they decided to
bring out the sophomores for another
tussle. Thoughts of the defeat by the
second-year men last fall also ranked
within them. and they voted with loud
yell to try conclusions for the third time,
to see If the proverbial "charm" would
prove to be all that it is claimed TO be.
Doubts were expressed among the soph-
omores as to whether the challenge would
be accepted because they have already
come off victors against the freshmen
tWlce-once. with a challenge and once
without. Some of them say that it would
be undignifed to accept the challenge con-
sldering what has already taken place.
