Here in April.
Especial to News and observer.)

(Speclai to News and Observer
Chapel Hill, NJ c., Jan. 24.-The second
annual debate between the University
of North Carolina and John Hopkins
University will be held in Raleigh some
time during April, the exact date as yet
not having been agreed upon. The
question submitted by the boys of the
Monumental City is, Resolved, that the
United States Merchant Marine should
not be Subsidized"
The Johns Hopkins students have
chosen the affirmative, and the Tar
Heels will be found advocating the mega.
tive. The question, however, being mega
lively stated gives the Carolinians in
reality thte affirmative. This debate
will be hotly and vigorously contested, as
tthe NorthernerS are yet smarting under
the severe and crushing defeat admin
istered to them last year in their own
city, and are extremely desirous of an
opportunity to divide collegiate honors.
The Tar Heels too, are equally de-
tcrmined, and the best available men
Will be selected to represent the Uni
versitty in this. her greatest debate.

by a representative of the Associated

Italy have agreed that Minister Bowen's
proposal that the blockade of Venezuela

former acknowledged that he had been
correctly reported in the inspectors re-
port concerning the postoffice affair.
Mr.. Spooner reverting to the President,
said he hoped he would continue MS
course until the people of Indianola re-
gain their reason.
The war. he said, was fought on the
principle of the right of the Federal
Government to control its affairs every
where without the consent of the States.
Mr.. McLaurin, of Mississippi, said he
had not in his former speech discussed
the prosperity of the impropriety of the
President in closing the postoffice at
Indianola, and he contended that moth
ing he had said, had justified the re-
marks of the Senator from Wisconsin.
He had not, when he first spoke, believed
that the people of 1ndianola had earned
the epithets of lawless and brutal, which
had been applied by the President S
secretary, and he repeated that 1t hal

charge was justified. On the contrary,
he contended that the best feeling eX-
lists between Mrs. Cox and the people OF
1ndianola, barring the prejudice Of race.
That this prejudice exists, the people
had freely admitted, and there was no
disposition to deny it. "It exists he
said, t'throughout the South, aye" he
added, "and throughout the North also. -
The people had exercised their right to
petition and had done so, and he had
never before heard it argued in the Sem

In this case the petitioners did not want
Mrs. Cox as postmaster, and had frankly
said so. Moreover, it was their right to

BIG RESERVOIR
 FOR PHOENIX
Secretary of the Interior Outlines Conditions Under Which It
 Shall Be Constructed.

JndII pc NOOStTuCtCu.
 "The Tonto Basin reservoir, which will irrigate 10000 acres in the Salt river valley, is practically assured" " said Frank P. Trott, water commis- sioner for Maricopa county, to a Bisbee Review reporter.
 "The government is in favor of it, and through Secretary Hitch cock has so expressed itself. The building of the reservoir now rests with the people, who must unite for concerted action. By forming a harmonious organization they will secure what the Salt river valley needs most-a storage reservoir" Commissioner Trott, to prove that the reservoir is no longer a fancy of the leading irrigationists of Arizona, referred to the follow ing statement from Secretary Hitch cock, which was read at a meeting there last Saturday:
 "First-That the secretary of the interior has granted authority to the director of the geological survey for the acquisition of necessary property, right of way, etc, prelim- mary to the construction of irriga- tion works on the Salt river, Ari- zona, under authority of the recla- nation act, approved June IT, 1902. The construction remains subject to the feasibility of obtain ing the necessary rights, and the adjustment of private claims in such manner as to comply with the provisions of the act.
 "Second-That in response to in quiries from a citizen of the Salt river valley, the secretary of the in terior has decided:
 "Third (a)-That the secretary of the interior can under the law deal with an organization in receiv- ing payments from individuals who have contracted for water rights under the terms of the reclamation act. (b)-It is not necessary or advisable at the present time to de- termine upon a general form of or ganization to be taken as a basis in organizing every reservoir district. (c)-The particular form of organ ization for the Salt river valley may be modified in the future as necessities may require, but for the present the form already adopted by the Salt River Valley Water Users Association is considered sufficient. (d)-It is probably pos sible, in completing the details of distributing, to make arrangements thereby the owners of vester rights y be benefited. Such details, ever, are not essential for pres consideration and may safely

Arizona's Opportunity.

At the St. Louis Worlds Fair next year the citizens of Arizona will have the opportunity to make an exhibit of the industries of this territory which will be in striking contrast to the description of our conditions given in the report of the senatorial committee who wis ited the territory last fall to inves tigate our fitness for statehood. That report did Arizona a great injustice and no doubt has left an unfavorable impression on the minds of many who have never given any investigation of the so- cial and industrial conditions in our favored land of almost contin- ued sunshine.
 The exhibit from this territory, if made what it ought te be, and what it can be, will leave no doubt in the minds of those who see it and learn the facts concerning the territory which supplies it, as to the fitness of Arizona for statehood and the justice of the request of the people for the right of self-government, says the Bisbee Review.
 A mere exhibit of mineral, agri- cultural and fruit products will not suffice if we are to attract general attention at the fair. There must be prepared comprehensive descrip- tive matter concerning the indus tries and enterprises in the several counties and localities to distribute to those who may make request for literature and information. If We are to receive any benefit at all at the Worlds Fair it will come solely as an advertising proposition. Money spent in printers ink will bring better results than can any of the money which is required for any other expense. Leaflets, pam phlets and a comprehensive de- scription of the entire territory and every industry and important en- terprise in it should be provided by the territorial commission.
 Five thousand dollars at least of the thirty thousand dollars to defray the expenses of Arizona's exhibit at the Worlds fair should be judiciously invested in printers ink. It will be money we'll spent, not only in advertising Arizona at the Worlds Fair, but in refuting the islanders heaped upon this ter ritory by Senator Beveridge and his statehood committee.
