Long Prairie's Victory.

We attended the debate between the
Breckenridge and Long Prairie high
schools on last Friday and it gives us
pleasure to say that Long Prairie
scored a notable victory. The Brock
enridge team was composed entirely
of girls and very naturally they
skirted all around their opponents and
secured unanimous decision in their
favor. In word, as far as the debate
was concerned, Long Prairie was out
classed in every particular. They lost
the ~ebate but by their chilvaric
conduct they captured the Brecken-
ridge debaters, their chaperone, Miss
Avery, Mr.. Barker and Howard
Dykeman.
Owing to the inconvenient railroad
connections Miss Avery, Mr.. Barker,
and Mr.. Dykeman were the only
Breckenridge people that accompanied
the team but they didn't need any,
body else as long as "Dyke" was
there. Zone blast upon his bugle
horn were worth thousand men"
and he had his bugle horn with him.
Too much praise cannot be accorded
the people of Long Prairie and the
members of the high school for their
conduct in the debate. The Brecken-
ridge speakers were greeted with as
much enthusiasm as were their own,
and when the decision was rendered
the applause could not have been more
spontaneous if they had won them
selves. 1t is easy to bear victory but
only great minds can sustain defeat
gracefully and we have witnessed
many contest of this kind and are
fain to say that the Long Prairieits
are the gamest losers that we ever
met.
While clearly out of form and
amateurish the Long Prairie debaters
showed marked ability and with
training and practice will make a
team that will compel the best high
school team in the state to look to
their laurels.

historic incidents connected with this
/ bust will make it for all times one
of the most interesting exhibits at
the Capitol.
The rotunda in which it is placed
is an immense circular room formed
by the dome, 81 feet in diameter and
rising clear from floor to inner shell
of dome and canopy $50 feet above.
The browning glory of the Capitol
is it's imposing dome. 1t rises from
a peristyle of futed Corintaian
columns above the central building.
Its height above the base line of the
east front is 287 feet; from the roof
balustrade 217 feet and II inches;
the diameter at the base is 1876 feet
and inches. 1t is constructed of
iron and weighs 8,9O9, 200 pounds. 1t
is so constructed that with the varia-
tions of temperature the iron plates
expand and contract "like the folding
and unfolding of lily" 1t was de-
signed by Walter and was completed
in 1865. 1t is surmounted by a
bronze statue of Armed Liberty de-
signed by Crawford. This is 10 feet
inches high and weighs 1885
pounds.
Light is admitted through the SO
windows of the peristyle, making the
rotunda light even on cloudy days.
| The walls of this immense and
beautiful room are adorned with
paintings, sculpture and frescoes,
and the vaulted canopy top above
glows with color.
The eight oil paintings in the
panels of the room have for their
subjects memorable scenes in the
history of the continent and of the
United States. In the arabesques
above the paintings are sculptured
portraits, and above the doors are
sculptures of scenes in American
history, and to the number of statues
around the walls of this room, after
over fifty years. absence, the bust OF
Washington has been added.

WasHlNGTON'S BIRTHDAY IN
e WASHINGTON

BY Martha L. Schneider, Washington, d. CT
Washington's birthday was cele-
brated in the District of Columbia by
two events of unusual interest. In
the rotunda of the Capitol the un-
yelling of the bust of Washington,
the gift of the French people, took
place with imposing ceremonies.
Ambassador Jusserand formerly
presented this replica of the one by
David dangers, which was destroyed
in the fire at the Capitol on the Oath
of December, 1851.
This is placed as near as can be
ascertained, on the spot on which
stood the original bust Of Washington.
At the hour fixed for the unwilling
the rotunda of the Capitol was we'll
filled with Senators, members and
a large number of citizens. Madame
Jusserand drew the cord which threw
back the flag yelling the bust. The
effigy was admired by all present.
Senator Wetmore and Representative
McCleary, respectfully, accepted the
replica in appropriate speeches. The
formal addresses were made in the
Presidents room.
Ambassador Jusserand made an
eloquent address recalling the friendly
feeling and active interest of France
forus. He dwelt with much emotion
unon the love and admiration OF all
Frenchmen for Washington, and
among the incidents recalled was no"
"when the great citizen died France

The above picture of Mr.. Reed does
not resemble him much as he APP
peared at the time of his death but it
is a remarkably correct likeness of
him as he was in the zenith of his
remarkable power and intellectually.
At the time of Mr.. Reeds death,
which occurred in the city of Wash
ington, the following words were used
at his funeral: "He is dead. The
powerful mind that moulded men,
shaped destinies, and made history,
has ceased its earthly activity. The
massive muscular frame that defed
WEAKNESS and fatigue is resting.
1t was fitting that his life should end
in this city where he achieved his
greatest triumphs and won his notable
victories, but political triumphs and
partisan victories are of little worth
now. Bear him back to his New
England home; back to staunch old
Maine that he loved so we'll and where
the most enjoyable periods of his
life were spent. Let him sleep in the
soil with which he was so closely
identified. Raise above his resting
place simple granite shaft; rough,
unhewn, upright, typical of the
strong and rugged character of him
who rests beneath. On its base let
there be carved Thomas Bracket
Reed, American" This and nothing
more"
And Mr.. Reed was an American in
the fullest sense of the word. His
looks, his gestures, his speech, every
thing about him spelled out the word
yankee" and one could no more
mistake him for anything else than
he could mistake an elephant for
some other animal.
Abraham Lincoln and Thomas
Bracket Reed were the two typical
Americans of the nineteenth century,
l do not mean that there was close
resemblance between them for there
was not. Great men do not exist in
duplicate but both were almost
perfect types of two different classes
of American statesmen.
Reeds Americanism was confined
to America and to him America meant
the United States. He most firmly
believed and advocated with all his
wonderful energy and ability of
thought and action that this govern
ment had between the two oceans
all the resources it could develop for
centuries to come and that it was
unwise, impolitic an un-American to
incorporate within the dominion of
the republic territory that was not
continuous and containing people
alien in race, language and customs,
either by force of arms or benevolent
assimilation" He said on one oc-
casion, "The benevolent assimilation
that our nation is practicing on the
Philippines reminds me of the
benevolent assimilation" 1 saw a
garter snake practicing on tree-toad
in my garden the other day." and
then he added, "The Filipinos do
not seem to be enjoying the swallow
ing process any better than the toad
did,"
Much has been said and written
about the "drawl'' of Mr.. Reed. This
is incorrect. He did not drawl when
he spoke but he did possess peculiar
information of voice that is only pos
sessed by those whose childhood and
