% the proposition and Georgetown the
negative.
The teams appear to be evenly
matched. and a rhetorical battle Of
much interest is anticipated. The
Georgetown team is composed Of new
men with the exception of 4. /. Rorke,
who was member Of last years de-
batting team which defeated Columbian.
Big Demand for Seats.
There has been a big demand for seats.
II is already assured the opera housy
win be filled to it's utmost by friends C
rival speakers and the two colleges.
Thus far Columbian has always gone
down to defeat before the oratorical
giants Of Georgetown Accordingly the
Columbian boys are making an especial
~ hard fight to win this time, while
Georgetown is seeking TO add another
triumph 20 its already long list OF vic
tories.
Columbian team has thus far this
season defeated the University Of Vir-
ginia, ard the University OF Virginia wen
from the University Of Pennsylvania.
Accordingly that would seem to indi-
cate that Columbian was the best of
the three. Georgetown has thus far de-
featcd the team from the Boston Uni
versity, and il was generally conceded
that the BOstoHians had the best team
OF any Of the Eastern colleges
A Popular Question.
The question is one I'm which there is
no small degree Of popular interest, and
has engaged the attention Of leading
statesmen, and offers opportunities for
argument upon both sides which the
young iorators are certain to present
The theateT. in respect to the seats
has been divided, the western half 70
be occupied by the students and friends
OF Georgetown. and the eastern half by
the Columbian students and adhererfts
This Is following out the same plan
as at last years debate

ditor OF the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The temporary chairman OF the de-
bate will be President DOar, of the
Georgetown Debating Society. Mr.. Doar
is I'm his freshman year at the school,
and was hOnored in being selected as
the presiding officer Of the society.
He is u native of Wisconsin. but has
resided in this city for several years
past Mr.. DoaT has considerable forensic
ability, and bids fair 10 become one Of
the leading debaters Of the institution
during the remaining two years of his
course.
Permanent Chairman.
The permanent chairman Of the debate
will be President Baldwin, Of the Co
lumbar Debating Society. Mr.. Baldwin
is secretary 10 Justice Harlan, and his
record in the university is a most en-
viable one.
Probably no man in the school enjoys
more fully the confidence and respect
of the student body. His election as
president of the society came to him
Unexpectedly. but is a most fitting tes-
timOnial' of his popularity. His ability
as n presiding officer has been well
| tested. and his record for fairness and
impartiality has never been questioned.

freshman year was an oarsman in the
college crew. That year he was a mem
Der also of the winning team that cap

took part in public debates at Castor

In his second year he was chosen as an
alternate on the Wisconsin debate; but
he attained the highest honor in being
selected for the contest with Columbia
in the same year. 1t was a wise selec-
tion as he was tower Of strength to
the Georgetown team in that memorable
debate.
Mr.. Rorke is one OF the best debaters
ever turned out by Georgetown, and he
has always worked hard for the success
Of the debating society Of that instItu-
ton. As the last speaker in the coming
contest there deVolVes upon him great
responsibility in making the closing ar
grments for his side, and the friends Of

baseball team. He will be graduated
with the class OF 1904

the possibility Of any connected work

The addition of an extra half-hour to
the working day of the employees of the
District Government at the District
building is admittedly a failure so far
as securing more work from the clerks
is concerned.
II will be remembered that when, as
a result of the efforts of Representative
Gillet, the clerks in the United States
Government departments were required
to work until 4:3O o'clock instead Of 4
o clock in the afternoon, the District
Commissioners adopted different
scheme for their men. They ordered
that the clerks must report for work in
the morning at S:45 o'clock, leaving of
at Ais In the afternoon, thus adding hf-
teen minutes to the morning hours and
the same length of time 20 the after
noon time.
Now the clerks employ the fifteen
minutes in the morning in getting into
