NEEDHAMs WIN DEBATE.
Columbian Schools Of Law Vanquished
in a Spirited Contest.

Teams from the Columbian Schools of
Law and the Needham Debating Society
of Columbian University locked horns in
spirited debate in the university hall last
night discussing the propriety of the Unit
ed States in recognizing the republic of
Panama. The Needhams won the decision.
The judges were Senator Thomas NJ. Pat
terson of Colorado, Mr.. John G. Thomp-
son, assistant attorney general. and Prof.
Walter c. Clephane of the university law
school.
The judges evened up matters by select
ing one debater from each society as the
best two debaters of the evening. They
were James H. Price of Needham and D.
A. Knapp of the schools of law.
Mr.. l.. Bone. president of the Needham
Society acted as chairman and after few
prefacing remarks announced the question
for debate, which affirmed:
That the Action of the United States in
Recognizing the Republic of Panama as an
Independent Government and in Negotiat-
ing Treaty Herewith Relative to the
Isthmian Canal Was Justified by the Law
of Nations and by the Laws of the United
States
Mr.. ]. r. Raley of Oregon was the first
speaker for the affirmative, and in a COM
prehensive argument endeavored' to show
that the United States government viola ted
no law of nations when it recognized the
republic of Panama.
Mr.. James Hardy Price followed for the
negative. He quoted from authorities to
show that the law of nations in regard to
recognition is that before a state should
be recognized as Independent it should APP
pear that it is capable of maintaining it's
independence. This, he asserted Panama
had failed to do
Mr.. l. S. Pepper of Iowa spoke next for
the Affirmative and treated the question
exhaust1Vely from 1876 down to the present
time
Mr. E. T. Hughes of South Carolina spoke
ioi tne negative, and made many strong
points in favor of his side of the ouestion
The last two speakers were Mr.. D. A.
Knapp of Iowa and Mr.. Grin H. Woods of
wyoming, both of whom presented able
arguments for their reSnectiYe sides

Economy VS.. Ease.

1t is surprising that more housewives
don't figure out the economy of baking
the daily bread in the home oven. Bread
making is not so difficult when the right
sort of flour is used. Take VIM. M. Gait
& Co.'S Ceres" Flour, which is every
where conceded to be the best flour that
can be milled Ceres Flour is sold by
leading grocers throughout the city at N25
per barrel. 1t has been demonstrated time
and again that barrel of this flour will
yield 80 one-pound loaves of snow-white.
sweet and nutritious bread at a cost not
exceeding 2k cents per loaf, including all
the necessary ingredients.
