THE REJOI\DERS


T Each speaker was allowed II minutes
for his first speech and Is for Il rcjoinG-
e.. The rejoindcrs were spirited and
to the point in the main. There was Il
slight tendency to indulge in personal
thruSts that would have been much bet
ter avoided, but there WAS no i'll humor
attending them. y few in the audience
50 far forgot themselves rs to hiss one
speaker. Il performance that was as I'M
cailed-fOr as it was inconsidcratc. II
was the only incident of the evening that
was not entirely pleasing.
After the conclusion Of the speeches
the Judges, Hon. K. NJ. Furman. Of
Raleigh; Hon. II. y. London. Of Pitts
boro, and Judge Connor, of Wilson,, re-
tired. and in Il short while they reached
a decision. Mr.. London. as spokesman
for the committee. compllmented the de-
baters upon the ability shown IN the DIS
cusSi0n and announced a unanimous de
cision in favor Of Trinity. Then the par-
tlsans Of the Blue claimed right of WAY
and the audiences. including the boys
from Wake Forest. gave generous APP

Jones made Il most graceful speech OF
delivery and provoked much merrlment
in closing by enjoining the Trinity rep
rcsentativcS to remember that there as
many q slip bctwiXt the cup and the
lip.
After the audience broke up a flash
light photograph was taken of the
speakers, judges and other participants.
\ most p~raiscworthy feature of the
dcbate was the total absence of any
spread-cagle oratory or Straining for
pretty phrases. The young gentlemen
had evidently not written out carefully
turned speeches for the occasion, but
had Informed themselves on the merits
of the question and trusted to the oc-
casion for suitable words. The result
was that none of the speeches were at
all dull or tiresome, III which respect they
differed admirably from much Of the
college ~oratorv q few years ago.
he faults of the speeches were III gem
cral those common to all youthful speak
crS. too much attention to unlmportant
matters and Il consequent lack OF time
to properly develop those upon which the
question is really hinged and the ten
dcncy to bclittlc rather than TO answer
the arguments OF opponents.
As an example OF the kind Of speakers
our colleges are developing. the debate
gave no room for aught but deep sat1S-
faction. The colleges will doubtless con
test for the cup again next year. and
there is every reason why they should.

MIR. JOHNSONS SPEECH.

Mr.. Walter Johnson closed the argu-
ment for Wake Forest. He said it is
mans business to solve problems and
onIy the timid shirk them. We already
have Il navy able to take care of the
situation. Our growing trade demands
new markets and We must find them.
We must have coalin& stations with land
enough to make them self-supporting III

some pertinent and amusing Illustrations
and kept his audience in high good hu-
NOR.

MIR. OWENS REMARKS.

Mr.. Owen. of Wake Forest. did not be-
lieve hat territorial expansion meant
Imperialism. The United States is Il
pure system of sclf-government. EX-
pansion therefore. means that Il larger
section of the world Will be self-govern-
inc. Growth does not change the ma
tire of the growing body. 1t is our mis-
sion to give to the world civil and reli-
"ious liberty. Speaking of the Philip
pines. he said that we must either give
them back To Spain. keep them. leave
them to themselves or sell them. We can
DO none of these honorably except keep
the islands We might. however. reject
Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines
and still have 4 policy Of expansion.
MIR. S. A. STEWART.
Mr.. Stewart said North Carolina has
just settled the question OF white su-
premacy. and the nation is confronted by
much the same question. There are but
three ways to acquire territory: To adj
nit il as Il State: to govern it as Il col
ony controlling It's own local affairs or to
govern it with the blyonet. The latter
is the only feasible way and that IS not
honorable. Mr.. Stewart said that it
was an outrage to give the Filipinos
carpet bag rule and call it humanity.
Corruption, expense and revolt follow the
flag under an expansion policy rather
than trade. Party bosses raise the cry
IF expansion 10 divert attention from
matters at home. Mr.. Stewart closed
with a telling quotation from Longfol-
low

not take It, and the question is shall vvn
depart from 4 policy tina is now tradi-
llollal and cut ourselves off from any
Tree choice Ill the matter hereafter Mr.
Try commended that the ~anti-eypansion-
lists. not the eNpansionistS. are tho limo
EatorS. We need land everywhere. be-
ca'fe our commerce gees everywhere.
and we must have harbors and coaIine
stations for the ships that protect the
commerce. When Mr.. Fry declared that
he was opposed To any policy that de-
med Dewey Il home III Manila bay. he
scored Il hit and was loudly applauded.
Expansion as Il policy does not mean
that we shall take any and all territory.
but only the privilege OF taking such as
we want. When Mr.. Fry concluded.
the wearcr Of the gold and black all
got off in Il bunch" 50 far as the an
pause was concerned. Mr.. FRY is =
very logical speaker.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1898-11-29

Mr.. J. NJ. Flowers admitted the cx-
pansion we have INDUCED in in the past
and the constitutionality of it. but
thought it had been carried far enough.
but two arguments have been advanced
III favor of expansion: That it is a duty
we owe to others. and that it Will be
advantageous to our commercial inter
cStS. Expansion means an expenditure
Of S120.O00,O0 Il year on the army and
navy. We can control Cuban trade
without anneNing Cuba. and the trade
Of the Philippines is comparatively trif-
ling. 1t would take the profit from 5000
100000 of trade annually to pay for the
expense OF policing the Philippines. The
experience of ENGLAND has been that her
trade has not kept pace with her cNpaa-
sion. Expansion means spending mil
lions to develop countries that Will be
come competitors when developed. 1t
also means Capitalization and dcspotism
at home. The power that will be neces-
Sary to govern colonies will be available
to Cypress at home. Mr.. Flowers look
ed very Youthful. but was the most
graceful and s~elf-contained of all the
SPEAKERS, and did much to win for his
side.
