DISSATISFACTION SHOWN.
The Nlankato j. Mapleton Debate Breeds
Hard Feeling.
The Matter Likely to Have Full
Airing.

The MapletOn Enterprise deVOtes
column and half Of it's valuable
space to cruising the outcome of the
joint debate between the Mankato
and Mapleton high schools last Fri
day evening. 1t says that the mark
ings Of the judges according to the
scale which they had adopted gave
Mankato 723 and Mapleton II, but
that two of the judges then arbitrari-
ly stated that Mankato should be de-
clared the winner anyway.
Prof. H, E. Bagley, principal of the
Marleton school, publishes signed
article in which he accuses the Man
kato end Of the management of the
debate with falsehood and deceit. He
claims that the Mankato representa-
tives made written agreement as
to the time and position of the de-
baters and then absolutely denied
the agreement and demanded that the
Mapleton speakers either change
their order or time of speaking. Mr..
Bagley ends his letter thus:
In conclusion, gentleman recently
charged the Mankato high school
pupils with immortality. l am lOath
to believe such a charge. But never
theleSS, where sense of common fair
ness and of common honesty is SO
painfully lacking, it does seem to me
that the other social virtues can not
be prominent.
Whether or not the MapletOn repre-
sentatiyes had ground or fancied
ground for dissatisfaction with the
conduct or outcome Of the debate we
do not know, but we imagine that
there are TWO sides to the matter.
Mr.. Bagley's conclusion, in any event,
is certainly uncalled for and an unjust
reflection upon the pupils of the Man
kato high school. The standard Of
morality among the pupils of the
Mankato high school will compare
fayOrably with that in any other SIM
liar school anywhere. Because Mr..
Bagley cOnceives that one or two high
school pupils acted unfairly is no eK-
Cuse for the false insinuatiOns which
he makes against the high school
pupils in general. From the spirit
which Mr.. Bagley displays in his
letter, Git would seem that his idea of
fairness may be perverted.
Ii is unfortunate that any i'll feeling
should have been engendered by the
debate, for such contests should bear
only good fruit. When conducted in
the right spirit on both sides, the
efforts required of the contestants
must be of great benefit to them, and
indirectly to the pupils of schools
represented.
From one of the judges, we learn
that the statement in regard to the
markings is entirely erroneous. Any
way that the markings were taken
showed that Mankato was higher.
Other statements made in the article
are also denied.
The Mankato contestants are indig-
nant at the statements made by Prof,
Bagley and the Enterprise, and deny
the truth of the charges mode.
We understand chat the Lake Crys-
tai judge will prepare a reply to the
structures made upon the action of
the judges. The judge selected from
Mankato, Mrs. DR.. James, expresses
surprise and indignation over the ar
ticles.

The ropes should be so laid that they

vent the drawing downward upon the
