SILENT ON PEACE QUESTION.


St. Petersburg Newspapers Apparently
Warned.
ST. Petersburg, April 1.-THE days
newspapers are SO significantly silent
about the peace reports from abroad
that it leads to the inference that
they have been warned by the gov
ern1nent of the inadvisability Of air
ing their views at this time. Those
papers which have been favoring
peace say nothing while the small
section Of the press which has been
insisting on a continuation OF the war
contents itself with the reproduction
OF articles from foreign newspapers
showing that peace now means the
aband donment forever of Russia's posi-
tioa on the Pacific. ,

AGAINST PUBLIC CONTROL.
Of Railroads Question Debated and
SO Decided by College
Girls.

The Sorosis girls won the fifth
debate in the series for the Catch
cup. The contest was with the
Pierian girls, and took place in col
lege chapel Saturday evening. The
question was Resolved that the
United States government should
own and control the railroads of
the United States" and the Sorosis
team had the negative. The de-
bate1s were, Pierians, Misses Ed
ma Smith, Minnie Phillips and Alice
I Edwards; Sorosis, Misses Agnes
Sweek, Elizabeth Snipes and Belle
Bonney. The judges were Super
intendent Denman, Prof. Edwards,
and Principal Holmes of the public
schools, and their decision was
| unanimous.
The affirmative urged that the
present strides towards consolida-
ton is ominous. Ten men con-
troll practically at the present time
great per cent of the railroad
mileage of the country, including
all the transcontinental trunk lines.
How long will it be until the direc-
ton of all these vast systems will
be by single man. The point
was also urged that the railroads
are in effect public highway,
and that it is both natural and
practical for the government to own
and operate them.
The negative urged that the op.
Grafton privately owned and pri-
vately controlled roads of the Unit
! ed States offer the most splendid
service. the lowest rates, and pay
the highest wages OF any roads in
the world. especially contrasted
with the government owned roads of
Europe. Government ownership,
they said, would involve an ex-
penditure for purchase of IL bill
lions of dollars and would make
government Office holders of I,4oo,-
900 railroad officials and employees,
which in turn would throw such
mass of Office holders on the gov
ernment pay rolls that with those
already On the list the government,
would in effect, become a govern
ment of the Office holders, by the
| Office holders and for the Office
holders. The negative debaters
maintained that the government
already has power, in decisions of
| the supreme court and interstate
commerce commission to control the
railroads, and suggested that if hav
! ing this power now, the govern
ment does not control the roads,
will it control them any better after
it has paid twelve thousand million
dollars for them.
| The debate on both sides was ex-
cellent. and reflected much credit
lon both teams. The next debate
| in the series takes place in college
chapel next Friday night. Feat
ures of the evening was a vocal So
