The final contest for the state high

in victory for the Breckenridge team
of three bright girls who bore off the
Journal cup and medals last evening.
Breckenridge was pitted against a
team from the Albert Lea high school.
But one member of the Albert Lea
team was of the fair sex, and one of
the two young men recently became
crippled with rheumatism and was
obliged to use crutches. With commend
able grit he had insisted on participate
ing in spite of contrary advice Of his
doctors. .s

battle and the final decision, tho unani-

|: Negative Begins Vigorously.
Miss Libbie. Eckhard was the first,
and probably the ablest speaker for the
negative Like the rest Of the young.
lady participants, She was attired in
white, and wore roses. She was pretty
in face and figure, and presented her
that desirable immigrants from north
ern Europe are decreasing, she argued,
is a reason why the bars of restrictive
law should be thrown down to them.
AS to the undesirable class from south
ern Europe she advocated legislation Of
prohibitory laws against Municipalities as
is now the case against the Chinese.
The danger, she contended, is not in the
numbers of immigrants, but in the quail
| ty. Desirable immigrants are help
to this country, morally, socially and in
dustrially. The average wealth in
northern Europe last year was $40 per
capita. In the United States, it is
but $34 per capita. Thus open immi-
grafton laws for these people would add
to our national wealth. Miss Eckhard
was perhaps strongest in rebuttal.

Crime Versus Development,
! Miss Margaret Lampert of Albert

tive. She did not seem quite at ease
at the beginning, but in warming up
to her subject, gained in strength Of
voice and confidence in herself. Wide
open immigration laws would decrease
this country's social assimilation and
increase crime. Already colonies, of
undesirable immigrants are forming

| elusive, and much below this nation s
standard of living. Thirty per cent of
ii>the aliens in this country are in New
York state; 95 per cent Of these are in
the slums Of New York city.
| Miss Lois Paul, for the negative, next
| took the floor. She seemed somewhat
embarrassed at first, but gained con-
ment lost some strength, perhaps, by
beinG. delivered too rapidly. She said
I1O,00O,O00 acres Of uncultNated land

population of the United States is but
one-eighth Of that of most European
countries, and only one-third Of this
country is settled. a thousand immi-
grants will be needed this year in the
