YALE HANDED MORE LEMONS.
Choice Bits Cleaned From The TRADE On
Yale Published In The Marlette Leader
or Nav 3rd.

10 hCCtSodig, DuL III OIutI 10 upuOlu our
position and that of our good citizens,
after the scourging Yale received at
the hands of two papers last week, we
wish to present few facts which will
place before the public the rights of
the case and with this we shall have
nothing more TO say.
at was glorious victory, because il
made the second and winning decision
for Marlette and because the Yale
bunch were so cock sure of winning
that ii was just lucious to show them
that there was possibility of there be-
ing other towns on the debating map.
Yale is a mighty poor loser and the
pleasure was all ours Two of the
judges said 'Marlette' and all there was
for Yale to do was To stand up and
yell rotten and the judges We're bought
and this they did i'm a manner TO up
hold the reputation that town has for
hostility to visitors whenever any con
test is on.
Before going any further into this
simply delicious etfusion, we would like
to ask the Leader if we didn't have an
excellent chance to yell "the judges
were bought after the decision of last
year coming as it did, a greater surprise
TO Marlette people than To us. How
about the judge who declared he would
not vote for Yale under any consider
alton? And didn't he carry ont his
declaration and vote for Marette in ara
gument and DELIN ERY in spite of
the fact that the Yale team was vastly
superior in their presentation? Will
not the Leader man let his memory car
ry him back and recall what he himself
said after the debate? "That decision
was rank. You fellows had us skinned
a mile" II he will only remember that
but doubtless he won't for policys sake.
Had the decision been awarded To Yale
as il should, there would have been no
need of a third debate
We will continue with some more
tidbits. "The argument advanced by
Yale was one of the ready-made kind
and taken bodily from Brooking's
Briefs for Debate, with the addition of
a TRADE on members of the Senate
filched from the Treason of the Senate
published in the Cosmopolitan" We
can't see what difference it makes to
Marlette from what source our mater
ial was obtained. In his TRADE the
Leader man took great pains not to
mention that Marlette based their
speeches upon a little booklet issued
by Congress, containing thoughts OH
the subject by Senator Hoar, the great
est boOdler and CRATER in the Senate.
Most assuredly Hoar would oppose the
election of Senators by the people, in
order to retain his seat.
The Leader man however graciously
admits the following, "Their team
showed well in the matter of oTatOry,
however, and gave their papers in
very pleasing manner. In the matter
of delivery they showed good training
and were far ahead of their opponents"
Thanks Bro. Hubbell.
"The negative speakers gave their ar
guments clearly, but without any at
tempt at oTatory." We wonder If they
could have obtained any, had they at
tempted it.
In speaking of the series, at has un-
accomplished great deal of
good, yet much more could have been
done could Yale but take defeat with
more grace" We would like TO show
the Leader man and Marlette how grace
fully we can take defeat" but when
it comes to having been handed two
such rank decisions as we have received
we are not going to lay down very grace.
fully and have it rubbed in good and
proper.
The school notes In the Leader con
tanned the following, "Not taking into

was great success from the Marlette
The enthusiasm brought
out on this occasion was most benefi-
cial, and i'm addition the high school
may congratulate itself on the freedom

The high school yells and songs were
free from taunts and contrasted strong.
ly with Yale yells, This alone entities
Marlette to some feeling of satisfaction
on her part,
Notice they say "pleasing decision"
We should think il would be pleasing.
1t must be peculiar kind of pleasure,
that wrought by a decision unfairly
earned and unfairly awarded. The de-
cision came as one of the greatest sur
prises to both Yale and Marlette. Be
fore the decision was announced sever
al Marlette people on being asked how
they thought it was going said, ats all
Yale. Although we yelled for Mar
lette, yet we know Yale will get the de-
cisiOn.'
We would like to whisper in the ears
of those persons who thought our yells
so full of "contemptihle bravado," and
"taunts" and which econtrasted strong

part of these yells were patterned after
But the decision has been rendered
and as we cannot change it by talking
we are going to hold our peace and for

occurred.
