oRAcULARa OBSERVATIONS.

Many a good resolution quickly runs
down at the heel.
A pretty CIR, can teach man most
anything but good common sense.
It pays to look mule in the face
when you have anything to say to
him.
About half of the things bought on
credit would not be bought if cash
were demanded.
Have you noticed that the bottom
of a cup Of JOY that runs over is sell
dom far from the top?
It's a good deal better to think
poetry than to write it, and better to
write if than to print it.
The man who has been roDed in is
apt to look upon his marriage GER
tifcate as a sort of moose paper
The man who never made a success
of anything in his life always won
ders why other men do not heed his
advice.
A busy man naturally objects to a
woman with a history, especially II
she comes into his Office and tries tc
sell it to him.
It is lots of comfort to get sick once
in while and say all the mean things
you wish to without being held &c.

BITS FOR BACHELORS.

Many men think themselves self.
made who are really marriage-made.
The man who avoids matrimony on
account of the cares Of welded life
rivals the wiseacre who secured him
self against corns by having his legs
amputated.
Napoleon won his great victories
while Josephine was his wife. and
while he loved her. Bisfnark and Dis
raeli, who for 80 years were the con-
trolling powers in European politics,
both owned that they owed their sue
cess to their wives.
Don't marry for beauty alone. Soc
rates called beauty "a short-lived tyr
amy" and Theophrastus pronounced
it "a silent cheat" The man who
marries for beauty alone is as silly
as the man who would buy house be-
cause it had fine flowers in the front
garden.

Phi Delta Versus Alpha zeta.

b'aeN sNtFh@ E'hNf
The Annual Debate between Alpha
Zeta and Phi Delta Literary Societies
was listened to on last Friday night
in the new Chapel by an audience of
nearly one thousand people. DR..
Cowley presided over the meeting.
After prayer by DR.. Hubbell, the
chairman read the question of debate
for the evening; Resolved, That
Congress should delegate the power
to regulate and determine railroad
rates to a Commission or Bureau, the
decision of which shall be of their
own force effective.
Two limitations had been agreed
to: LIST, The Constitutionality of
such Congressional action is to be
admitted; and, 2nd, the question is
not to be affected by any legislation
antecedent to the Debate.

FREE CHORAL CLASSES.


Important 90 Bsrca students.
By our great Creator a desire for
music was deeply planted in the
souls OF all men. There il no nation

attempt some means Of expressing
their feeling through music; even
the lowest savages tell Of their love,
Joy. grief, or rage by their war songs.

born desire 10 express the deeper
emotions Of the soul through music;
therefore il is not question OF
whether or not we will have music,
for music in some form is already
here. and here 10 stay. The ques-
ton is will we give direction 20 this
instructive desire for music that it
may become a power for good, or
viii we let it seek expression in ways
that are primitive and crudeY Sure
ly il is worth our while az teachers
30 Join forces with this instructive
desire for music and make 10 a
means Of developing the minds and
hearts OF our students II music is
10 be brought within the reach Of
the masses, il must be accomplished
largely through the efforts Of the
public school teacher. Hence il is
OF prime importance that our teachers
should be able 10 read and under
stand the language Of music and TO
know how 10 present il 10 the student
in an inspiring way.
To those who expect 30 teach in
our public schools the choral Glasses
are Of special importance because
here they may gain thorough
knowledge of the beginning elements
Of music, and by thorough drill and
practice here given they may get a
solid foundation which will enable
them TO teach the subject intelligent
TX.
Again. the choral classes are inn
portant TO all students because by
being able TO read simple music they
can enter the various musical
societies and be receiving great bene-
fiji to them as long as they stay in
Rerea, furthermore they may become
able to be Of greater service to the
community to which they 60 after

for special mention. Not one could
have been left out Every number
but two was encored; one of these
being deeply impressive sacred Sc
lection, which the sense of the fitness
of things prevented being encored,
and the other being the final Good
night" The Quartet was well
loaded for the occasion, and good
naturally responded to every call for
a return, to the unbounded delight
of the audience Mr.. Combs, also,
was at his best, and after every num-
Der was called back. He too had not
come without his cartridge belt being
we'll filled. While every selection
which he gave was well received, his
take off of school-boy recitation set
the audience wild. Though social
privileges were not given, the lower
part of the house was almost solidly
filed, showing that Berea people
know a good thing when it comes
their way. 1t needs no prophet to
foretell a striking success for the
Quartet and Mr.. Combs when they

The Judges were President j. C.

Kentucky Wesleyan College, Win
chester, KY, and Judge l.. b.
Chalkley, Dean of the Law Depart

of tie, the decision of each Judge
was TO be given either affirmative, -
or negative" The decision, which
was universally acquiesced in, gave
two votes to the affirmative the side
of Phi Delta.
All the Judges expressed them
selves in the highest terms of appre-
citation of the work done. One re-
marked it was the best of its kind he
had heard in Kentucky. Another
stated that the work would take
second place to no college in this
part of the State. Both sides had
searched the question to the bottom
and there was no argument omitted
and no point bearing on the question
left untouched on either side. The
work done is a credit to the speakers,
the Literary Societies, and to Berea
College, and would be a credit to any
College. The speakers as we'll as

speakers, whose names had up to this
time been carefully with held from
the public, came forward to their re-
spective desks. Alpha Zeta and its
partisans occupied the east side of
the Chapel, and Phi Delta the West.
Phi Delta was represented by Messrs.
G. G. Hudson, John Welch. and w.
G. Hunt, who affirmed the question.
Messrs. Norman Frost, Harry b.
Kinnard, and Henry Lengfellner
spoke on the Negative for Alpha

Mr.. Hudson opened the discussion,
carefully outlining and impressing
upon the audience the lines of argu-
ment and points of attack which the
Affirmative would pursue. His speech
set out the evils of the present system
and the need of a remedy and showed
that the speaker was master of his

Your old neighbors are inveigled
into selling out. They must move
away. The capitalist who has pur-
chased your neighbours farms wants
yours. You decline to sell, and he
makes it unpleasant for you. Your
old neighbors are gone. There is no
longer need of the town where you
have done your trading.
We submit the question: Which is
better for you-a community of farm
ers under old conditions, or the new
condition with yourself and the
neighbor ~ of the 1O,O0O-acre farm?
Which is the better for your old
neighbors?
Which is better for the nation?

A GREAT ECONOMIC PROBLEM.

The nation is face to face with great
economic questions, one of the great
est of which is the Capitalization of
capital in commercial and Industrial

this farm you have worked hard.
You have sacrificed pleasures and
comforts during q period of twenty to

brance. The old mortgage has been
lifted.
More than that, you have a COM

How long, at. this rate, will it be
until prices on merchandise will be
marked up and marked down, just as
oil is?
If you patronize mail-order houses
you are fostering a monopoly by
building up the large catalogue house.
Every order you send away to a
mail-order house contributes share
to the success of monopoly!
You are feeding a monopoly!
While you do this local enterprises
go hungry for patronage.
The country does not need more
10, 0O0-acre farms.
1t does need 40 to so acre farms.
The country does not need ten mon
strous mail-order houses to do all the
business.
It does need 100000 small ,ner-
