FERGUS FALuSl CROWS

1t Defeats ST. Cloud and Wins Its
Fourth Debate. -
Special to The Journal
Fergus Falls, Mimi, March 8.-The in
terdistrict debate between the St. Cloud
and Fergus Falls high school teams was
held in this city last evening and re-
suited IN handsome victory for Fergus
Fails. The audience, as usual, was lin
1ted only by the standing capacity of the
largest auditorium in the city, seats hav-
ing been at premium since early in the
week, and those who had failed to secure
them offering as high as slips for tickets.
Delegations were il. from all the sur
rounding towns and villages, and the en-
thusiasm of the audience was unbounded
from the outset. Mayor Campbell of
Crookston presided and G. J. Gunderson
of Alexandria, J. G. Forbes of Wahpeton,
and Superintendent Arney Of Battle Lake
acted as Judges. The Fergus debaters
were Harold Braateuen Hans A. Hanson
and Colvin G. Butler, and the St. Cloud
school was represented by Randall Har-
rison, Thomas S. Erwin and Thomas Bran
| ley. The question debated was, "Re-
solved, That capital punishment ought to
be abolished in the United States" St.
Cloud taking the affirmative. Each speak

were the case he thought 1t would be well
to make executions public instead of en-

show that the claim was entirely un-
founded and that executions, instead OF
having deterrant influence, were di-

capital punishment was the desire for
revenge, that the state had no right to
take human life and that no two muir
derers were alike in their degree of guilt,
while capital punishment inflicted the
same penalty on all Of them. Imprison-
ment gave hope of reform and a possi-t
bility Of furnishing a man according to
his degree of guilt.
Mr.. Butler was the fourth speaker Of
the evening and was greeted with the
encouraging song

teams which the Fergus debaters have

form was genuine. In rebuttal, Mr.. But

Owatonna, Mimi, March 8.-The second
debate of the State High School League
in this city took place last evening in the
metropolitan opera-house between the
teams of the Glenwood and Owatonna
high schools. The debate was won by the
GlenWood debaters.
John Quinn, who added much strength
to the home team, became i'll, and was
unable to appear. His place was taken
by Harry A. Lawson, son Of Editor Law
son of the Journal, who, while he ac-
quilted himself very creditably, showed a
is source of some consolation to the
friends of the Owatonna team. However,
no dissatisfaction has been felt, inasmuch
as the GlenWood team won brilliant
victory and in the opinion Of residents
of this city, stand good chance of win
nign the laurels at the end of the series.
The Affirmative of the subject, Re
solved, That capital punishment should be
abolished was supported by the OWa-
tonna debaters, Glenwood maintaining the
negative. The debate was presided over
by John L. Gibbs, who made a few re-
marks and introduced the speakers The

SPRING TRADE OUTLOOK
Local Retailers Are Expecting Busi-
ness to BE Heavy.

Local merchants are impervious to the
weather alarmists who are predicting
''lots more cold weather" to the ruin OF
spring trade. All such lugubrious express
sions are lost upon the merchants who
smilingly assert that they have had their
spring for 1902 and can stand few more
touches of winter If necessary.
The fact is that the delightful weather
of February and the first week in March
has enabled the merchants to do an ex-
cellent business in all lines dependent
upon spring weather. The department
stores, furnishing houses, tailors and the
army of people benefited by their business
activity, have enjoyed big trade for
weeks, and are in good shape as to stocks
for the remainder Of the season. Usually,
there is not much Of a spring in Mtnne-
apolis, and few days, comparatively,
are sufficient to encompass it. The mer-
chants, however, must lay in large stocks
