SCHOOL DEBATE

Professor Edward M. Hume, of the
history department of the University
of Idaho and debate coach, has sub
mitted the debate question to the
high schools comprising the Univer-
sity Debate League. The league was
formed last year through the efforts
of Professor Hulme and it is made
up of the high schools of Nampa,
Mountain Home, Caldwell and EN-
NETT.
Last year, owing to sickness, each
school took part In only one debate.
Caldwell won from Emmett at the
latter place and Mountain Home de-
feated Nampa here. The final de-
bate to decide the final championship
was not held.
The question sent for the first de-
bate this year is, Resolved, That the
United States should establish postal
savings banks" Nampa will meet
Mountain Home at that town on Fri
day, December 13; and Emmett will
be in Caldwell on the same night, the
question being the same. The teams
that win will meet to decide the
championship ON the last Friday in
April, and the two who lose in the
first debate will meet on the same
night to compete for third and fourth
places.
Caldwell will have until October 9th
to chose the side of the question
which the will defend. The date for
the tryout has not yet been arranged
for. but as many pupils as possible
will be induced to work on the ques-
ton at once. This will give the stu
dents several weeks preparation be-
fore side is chosen, and by that
time they should have no trouble in
coming to the best decision which is
the stronger side.
The question for final debate must
be submitted before January 1, and
must be chosen on before January 9.

gagement in repertoire of new
plays, and many new faces will be

ure, is said to be exceedingly funny.
Miss Deffry mas appeared before

as this Is the formal commencement
of the theatrical season in the city

V alue of Transatlantic Speed.

The "Lusitania," whose advent to
the port of New has created a Juror.
for which one must go back several
decades to the day on which the other
giant ship, the "Great Eastern" en-
tered this port, signalized her arri-
val by breaking the record from
Queenstown to Sand Hook and by
having maintained the fastest aver
age speed ever made on a maiden
transatlantic trip. The best previous
record over this course was that of
the "Lucania," which was In 1894
covering the distance from Queens
town to New York in i've days, seven
hours and twenty three minutes. The
Lusitania" lowered the "Lucania's"
figures by six hours and twehty-nine
minutes. making the run across in
s days and fifty-four minutes. Her av-
erage speed over the course of 2,782
miles from Queenstown to Sandy
Hook was 23.01 knots. The best
speed ever made on a westward pas
sage was that OF the KAISER wilhelm
H." which averaged 1855 knots
over the distance OF $3.50 miles be-
tween Cherburg and New York. MAX
Ing the trip In i've days and eighteen
hours.
1t is very suggestive to the high
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1907-09-28

state of development reached by the
transatlantic steamship travel, that
the schedule of the arrival and de-
parture of the "Lusitania" on this,
her maiden trip, should have been de-
termined upon almost to the very
hour, several weeks before she start
from the other side. In response to
the wishes of Mr.. Vernon H. Brown,
the general agent in this city, the
Cunard Company decided to run the
ship across at a speed which would
bring her to the bar outside Sandy
Hook at eight o'clock Friday morn
Ing on rising tide; and 1t is signifi-
cant that in spite of several delays
through fog the reserve speed of the
'Lusitania enabled the captain to
bring the vessel to the bar at sos
on the morning designated. No at
tempt whatever was made to push
the ship beyond a 23-knot average.
We are informed by the captain and
the chief engineer that the vessel
has proved during the trip that she is
in every respect a perfect success.
She is exceptionally free from vibra-
ton; and the whole OF the elaborate
motive power operated without the
slightest mishap.
The question will naturally be ask
ed: eff speed of 23 knots will the
"Lusitania" to New York on Friday
morning why has she been crowded
with additional boilers and engine
power to enable her to steam 2 and
one-half knots faster than this? The
answer Is that when the ship has
found herself" that is to say, when
all the wearing parts have settled
down to their perfect adjustment, and
the whole of the boiler-room and en-
gine-room staff of several hundred
men are thoroughly familiarized with
their duties, the 'Lusitania" will be
pushed to her full speed of 25.5
dock by seven o'clock on Thursday
evenings. This is the confident ex-
pectations of the officers of the ship,
based upon the ease with which she
made 23 knots when using about rs
per cent of her full power. This is
reasonable expectation; for the "Lus-
dtania" has averaged 25.5 knots on a
trial trip of over a thouands miles,
and has made 26.5 knots over shorter
courses. During this, her first vog-
age, the vessel was tried out for
stretches of several miles, and logged
a speed of over 26 knots.
The incidental advantages of high
speed are that even though a ship
may not make use of it throughout a
whole voyage, 1t gives reserve
which can be utilized to make up for
time lost through fog or heavy
weather. Thus because OF her great
size and power and lofty freeboard,
the Lusitania" will be able not to
maintain an average speed of 20 or
81 knots against heavy winds and
seas. but when the storm had blown
over, by utilizing her full powershrd
over. by utilizing her full engine pow
er. she could readily pull up the av-
erage to the speed which would
bring her into port on schedule tinme.

LAFOLLATTE
SPEAKS HERE

The first number of the Y. M. C.
A. lecture course was given Tuesday
evening in the opera house, Senator
LaFollette being the orator of the
evening. He was introduced by ex-
Senator Dobios, in a very neat speech
in which he told of their associations
in the house of representatives and
theSenateat Washington. The subject
of the evening was "Our Country, !"
and Senator LaFollette endeavored to
outline the old conditions of our gov
eminent from the time of of the Dec
laration of Independence, until some
years otter the civil war. He claimed
that this government -7as founded or
the principle that the people were
government and that no individual
power or corporation should have
any advantage over the ordinary in
dividual, and quoted the sayings on
this matter from such men as Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander
Hamilton and Lincoln.
He traced the history of the politi-
cal conditions from the man elected
to represent the people who was
above brides to the present legisla-
ton, controlled by the corporations
and money power, and here he gave
expression to the thought that fine
buildings and beautiful surroundings
are not the foundation upon which
city or state is builded, but that
honest men are the firm foundation
upon which all these rest.
Along I'm a parallel line with the
political conditions and inseparable
from them must be traced the indus
trial; these were divided into four
classes, or periods. 1st-when all
business was managed by a one man
power and each business stood out by
itself. 2nd-when the time arrived
that one man could not command
enough capital to run the business
as it needed to be run, so he took
partner, but still the bueiness re-
NAMED unidentified with any other
business of the same kind. 3rd-
when stock companies were formed,
when 5 or more men might combine
to do business, then all of the same
kind of business aimed to combine
and form one company for the better
handling of stock. 4th and present
day conditions-when all business,
practically everything eaten, worn or
used was under the. control of one
great corporation and they set the
prices Of everything and everyone
was forced TO accede to their de-
mands or go without. He pictured in
a very earnest manner the fact that
the people of today were not free,
but were in bondage to this corpora
ton. It was time the people realized
1t and to this end he had assumed the
work on the platform that he might
go from state to state and awaken
someone to the fact that something
must be done and II he could do this
he had not labored in vain. His
speech lasted about four hours.

Street RAILWAYS
Have A fight

Wednesday morning, Mr.. Abe
Waldrodt, superintendent of motive
power, and general manager of the
Boise Valley Railway Company's
lines in Caldwell, commenced pulling
the spikes and generally tearing up
the line of the Boise and Interurban
at Tenth and Arthur Streets. The
Boise and Interurban people called
the chief of police and had superin-
tendent Waldrodt placed under ar
rest. He was released on his own
recognizance and is still at large.
This was the first overt act in the
fight between the Boise Valley and
the Boise Interurban railway COM
panies. Both companies wanted to
reach the fair grounds. Both COM
panies had, franchises on certain
streets. Both are envious and jeal-
Gus. The Tribune is pleased to see
that every thing has been amiably
adjusted, and the people of this city
may go to the fair ground on either
line. 1t looks as though the Pierce
line was really in the right. This
company had franchise on certain
streets, and Is acting in good faith
in actually building its line. The
Boise Valley people wanted to him
der the Boise and Interurban and
also started to build. The conse-
quence was a collision on Arthur and
Tenth Streets, with the above stated
results. Probably the whole matter
will be settled in the courts.
AN INVITATION.
The Tribunes assumes the respon-
sibility of extending to the editors,
publishers and proprietors of news
papers of Canyon County. an invita-
ton to meet In Caldwell some day
during the Canyon County fair, for
the purpose of organizing a Canyon
County press association. We are
sure that the Caldwell newspaper
men will help to make such an or
ganization success. We are sure
that the various newspapers OF the
county can realize a great benefit
from such an organization. We are
sure that all the newspapers of the
county are in sympathy with such a
movement. The Tribune suggests
Saturday-the last day of the fair
as an appropriate day. On that day
the Office of this paper will be placed
at the disposal Of the newspaper men
Of this county provided they wish to
take advantage OF It.
