LAWRENCE WINS DEBATE
Gets the Decision Over Ripon in the
OratOricaI Contest.

Ripon. Wis, April 15.-Lawrence
university freshmen were awarded the
decision over the RipOn freshmen de-
batOrs here by a vote OF two to one.
This gives Lawrence two out of three
debates between the colleges. The de-
bators seemed somewhat at cross pur-
poses since the Ripon argument was
based OH actual occurrences claimed
to be detrimental to the country at
large, while the Lawrence plea was
to the effect that detrimental tenden-
cies existing in labor organizations had
not increased in the past twenty
years.
The question was Resolved, that
the history Of trade unionism in the
Emitted States for the past twenty
years shows a general tendency detri
mental to the best interests of the
country"
Lawrence claimed there was a de-
crease of strikes, less violence, more
frequent arbitration, sick benefits, bet
ter factory conditions, shorter hours,
higher wages, and the restriction Of
child labor.
Ripon claimed labor organizations
were detrimental to the employers and
employees, as they Endorsed boycotts,
opposed labor saving machinery, pro-
noted strikes, created hostile spirit
between capital and labor, and en-
coura9ed socialism.
The Ripon debators were c. NJ.
Brace. w. G.. Bate, III. NJ. Anderson.
The Lawrence speakers were J, d.
Sims, J. NJ Lund, B. A. Lawrence.
The judges were Professor 4 G. T.
Loomis of Oconto; Judge A. H.
Schmidt, of ManitowOc, and Professor
Thomas S. Adams. of Madison.

The bill gives Police Commission

Licenses MUST COVER
FULL twelve MONTHS
Attorney General Reid Holds That
Gambling Permits Cannot Be Is
sued TO First OF Year.

Since the enactment OF the anti
gambling law by the 37th legislative
assembly and which becomes opera
tive on January l. 1883. New Mexico
county officials have been in q
quandary how to proceed with the
issuance of gambling licenses during
the period In which gambling can be
legally carried on In the territory
The old law Is explicit on the point
that gambling licenses can not be is
sued for less than one year and the
gamblers as a rule are averse to pay
ing on this basis when the licenses
become invalid after nine months
will have elapsed.
Attorney General Reid has render
ed an opinion In the matter at the
request OF W. II. Owens OF Carlsbad
probate clerk and ex-officio recordeI
OF Eddy county. The attorney gen.
eral holds that the gambling licenses
must be taken out for the full year
as the law now In force requires N
spite of the fact that they viii D.

gambling measures goes into effect.
The opinion Ia of general interest 10
| 1t settles a mooted question and 1t ID
given herewith:
Referring to our conversation re
Gently had at Carlsbad as to whether
gaming license can now be issued
and IL so. whether 1t can be ISSUED
for less than one year. and II not fol
less than one year, whether a IL
cense now issued would extend the
right to carry on gaming for the full
period Of one year from the date ot
issuance. my conclusions upon ex
animation OF the law, are as follows:
First. That gaming license
may now be issued.
Second. II issued 1t shall issue
for a period Of twelve months. The
fee to be paid in advance.
Third. That such license. while
issued for a period OF twelve months
becomes void after December 81
1907. by reason of recent act Of thu
legislature which prohibits gambling
after that date.
Fourth. The officials issuing q
gaming license from this time on
may not pro rate the fee charged fol
such license. but must collect the
entire fee.
Fifth. That such fee cannot af
terwards be refunded, for that por

EDUCATIONAL Value OF
TURNER ART EXHIBIT

That the Turner Art Exhibit Is a
valuable educational force is illus,
trated by case reported by one OF
the city teachers. A small six-year
old child of foreign parentage who
has been one Of the most serious and
perplexing problems that the teach
ers have had to solve lately, on &C
count of his utter Indifference to ev
erything connected with the school
aud school work, and to whom
seemingly, nothing could be made tc
appeal, stood spellbound before the
pictures of the exhibit for two hours
yesterday morning. and left reluct
antly only when forced to do SO by
the closing of the doors. He partic
ularly admired the pictures from the
brush of the Spanish master, Murillo
and selected his pictures from
among all the others as special OBJ
jects of admiration. This is all the
more remarkable when il is remem
bered that these pictures are hung
in various placs in the exhibit and
that the child had probably never be
fore seen a good picture or an OBJ
ject of art OF any kind. II the ex
hibit succeeds in awakening a love
for better things In this one child
alone, it win surely be we'll worth
while from an educational point Il
view.
