The lyceum at the Oakfeld school
house, Monday evening, January 9Th,
was one of the best, as we'll as the
most amusing in its history. The
question for discussion, "Resolved
that the signs of the times indicate
the downfall of the Republic,"
brought forth much repartee from
the opposing speakers. Mr.. Randall
Hunter and Charles Burton affirmed,
while Tom McGovern and Admiral
Button denied. The speakers on the
negative side made very patriotic
speeches in defense of the nation, OK
pressing the opinion that this nation
is stronger today than it has ever
been, and that the present war is of
little concern in regard to the
country's future. The last speaker
for the affirmative commended that an
nexation by forcible means placed a
state under this government without
its consent and naturally would be
denied the right to make its own
laws; this would not be self govern
ment. Then as part of govern
ment ruled another part, this Re-
public would change to an Empire,
as it is not GA government of the
people, by the people, and for the
people," 1t was also held that the
negative speakers misconstrued the
meaning of the word "Republic,"
they giving it the broad meaning of
"Nation," and for that reason-not
being in the question-it would be
impossible for them to give the
necessary proof, or argument, to
change the question. The question is
always put atfirmatively; if not right,
it must be proven. The Judges, E.
A. Jones, Fl. S. Barton, and J. A.
Lewis, decided in favor of the atfirma-
tive. Question for Monday, January
10th: ''Resolved, that the Beers are
on the side of Justice" The facts in
the above debate are given to show
how the gifted orators of Oakfeld
win one sided case.
