The bride was Miss Beulah Smith,
the groom Wilbert Schandres. Mr..
Thurgood at first declined to don the
rollers because he feared the floor was
too smooth. The management pow
dered the spot on which the ceremony
was to be performed, and the preacher
then consented He stood the test all
right, but the bride, just as she was
about to reply to the words honor
love and obey" shifted her foot and
sat down amid the screams and roars
Of the hundreds of witnesses. The
ring was again formed, and the min
lister finished the ceremony, after which
the crowd began skating in a merry

ROOSEVELT TEAM WINS DEBATE
And Wrests the Championship of Northern Mlonsota From
Their Ada Opponents Friday Evening.

The debate last Friday night at
the Roosevelt auditorium between
teams from the Ada and Virginia
high schools for the championship
of Northern Minnesota was one of
the best attended and most exciting
events of this school year. The
question was the same one discus
sed by the local teams a month ago,
namely: "Resolved, that the policy
of substantially enlarging the
American Navy is preferabl to the
policy of maintaining it at it pres
ent strength and efficiency"
The speakers for Ada, who were
accompanied by Supt. Ingmar Bor-
aas, were: Ernest He]geson, Erling
Norby, Jacob Hadler and Elmer
Thune. Ada chose the negative
side of the question.
The affirmative was supported by
the Virginia speakers, Harry G.
Neff, Axel B. Dahl, Lambert S. Gill
and James G. Bailie.
The judges were Prof. J. W. Hub
bard, Duluth Normal; Prof. Phil H.
Hembt, Superior Normal; Prin. +.
E. Grae, Biwabik City School. The
judges occupied table in the CEN
ter of the auditorium.
After a selection by the Boys
Glee club, 1--WE Meet Again Tonight
Boys" which, by the way, was full
of harmony and good cheer, the de-
bate was opened by Virginia. The
teams were quite evenly matched
in some particulars but on the
whole it was Virginia's debate from
the start in everything with the
possible exception of rebuttal. The
judges marked on argument, enun-
citation, expression, stage manner,
and rebuttal, in all points of which
the Roosevelt team showed their
superiority according to the marks
of the judges, except in general
team work and rebuttal, where the
Ada boys were slightly ahead in
the estimation of one Judge. The
Virginia boys won the debate by
IS points over the negative. AS
Ada had previously defeated Fer
gus Falls, East Grand Forks, Crook
ston and st. Paul, their defeat by
the Roosevelt team leaves Virginia
the champions of Northern Mime
sofa.
Some of the best points brought
out by the affirmative were as fol-
lows: The claims of Japan as mast
er of the Pacific forces us to have a
larger navy; it is the policy of pro-
gress that naval expenditure keep
pace with that of the nation; his
tory shows that no nation can af-
ford to neglect her naval strength;
| uselessness of small navy; arbi.
tration can never settle all the diff
ferences that arise between nations;
it is absolutely necessary that the
United States control and hold the
Caribbean Sea before the year 1914
to be able to do this we must great.
ly enlarge our navy; it is absolutely
necessary that the United States
control the coast of Alaska and the
| Aleutian Islands and to do this
effectively we must increase ou1
navy; we have more property as
sailab!e from the oceans than any
other nation in the world; wa,
with Germany, Japan, or France in
the near future is not only possible
but probable; the Panama canal
must be defended at all hazards
we need a larger navy to protect

/: Attorney Gillette, representing
the Virginia Lumber Co., was also
present and presented leases for
the signature of proper city officials
to the lands to be occupied by the
Lumber Company with it's new mill
and piling ground.
These leases call for the transfer
of the lease secured by the city
during the administration of Mayor
Fay to the northeast quarter of the
northeast quarter of section 18, 58-
II, running from the Northwestern
Improvement Company for per-
iod of fifteen years, from August
Is, 1905, and a lease to the forty des-
cribed as the southeast quarter of
the southeast quarter of section 7,
58-17, purchased by the city for park
purposes the same year for the sum
of $1,000, from the Niles Land Com

mineral rights are reserved to the
grantors.
A resolution authorizing the
mayor and clerk to execute such

our coast line; the protection of
our commerce demands a larger
navy; our greatest defense lies in
our greatest offensf; Roosevelts
corollary to the Monroe Doctrine
demands a larger navy; the grow
ing hostilities between Japan and
the United States demand a larger
navy; our present naval rank as
world power compared to that of
other nations; to protect the rights
of our citizens in foreign lands, we
need a larger navy; the best assur.
ance against war liessin the possess
sion of powerful navy and one
that is the superior of any navy on
the globe.
The points made by the negative
were: The cry for an increase in
the navy comes from the trusts
that will furnish the material; from
the fact that the Un;ted States is
the granery of the world there is
no danger of war; weGshould spend
more money in training men to
technical trades and:Iess on battle
ships that are perishable; by
Strengthening our merchant mar
inc as naval reserve$we shall not
need to spend more money on bat
tleships; it is bad naval policy to
try to hold the Philippines a SUBJ
ject people,; large navy is contrary
to the spirit of our government; we
are allowing ourselves to become
mere imitators of foreign nations;
if our navy should be unduly in
creased it would become weapon
instead of shield. and instead of
maintaining peace would make us
an aggressive and m neddlesome
people; the common. people and
taxpayers of this country do not
want larger navy; the way to pro-
cure peace is to prepare for peace
and not for war; the American
people should not be burdened
with more taxes to puild up the
navy; the building oItoo large a
navy would remove America from
her place in the list ofEpeaceful ma
tions; the chief International diff
culties can be settled by arbitration
instead of naval battlea;sthe A1neri-,
can people should NOT p4yts d larger
navy if they hope to escape the en-
tanglements of the effete monarch
les of the old world; for the bene-
fit of the United States we should
spend more money on coast defen-
ces and national improvements and
less upon the enlargement of the
navy; by increasing our navy we
will necessarily have to raise our
tariff and personal tax; in case our
navy is increased to 30 battleships
and auxilliaries by 1914 we would
find it impossible to properly equip
them; we are spending too much
money on the navy, and not enough
on canals, harbors and DREDGING of
rivers.
While the judges were making
up their report the Girls Chorus
rendered krimbell's "Lullaby," and
the Boys Glee Club sang a number
