A BERsA 0FFSHO0T

Prof. Dinsmore returned early tnis
week from Boston, where he went
attend a meeting of the trustees OF
Okolona Industrial College of Mississ-
ippi of which Wallace A. Battle, one
of the Berea colored boys is president.
Mr. BATTLES report was most encour-
aging. and showed that the school Is
doing its work well, also 1t is In need
OF funds. The trustees appointed a
committee to prepare an appeal to
the public for contributions.
One OF the strongest endorsements
of the school was made by A. T. Stow
all. a citizen OF Okolona and president
of the board of trustees. He made 1t
clear that the white people OF the
South are already overburdened with
their efforts to give education to the
children OF both races. and that they
welcome help from the North, feeling
that all parts Of the country are equal
ly responsible for the condition OF the
negro. He further said:-"Okolona
enjoys the unique distinction among
colored schools of the South of being
self supporting on running expenses.
This enables all money donated to
go into permanent construction and
places okolona in the first rank"
Tributes like this to the work Of
a Berea boy show what a good work
has been stopped here in the driving
OF the colored people away.

stated was; Resolved, that the
protective tariff system is a better
economic policy for the United Sta

OF the judges was two to one in favor
OF the negative.
The debate was a credit to both
sides, and the speaking in general
was very good. The arguments were
well arranged and strong, and show
ed for both sides much thought and
hard work. Stanton, Baird and Grath-
well were especially good in delivery.
Each side tried to show that the
method it supported would be better

est in the world it would result in

The negative emphasized the differ
ence between the real and.the ncmi-
nal wage, defining the real wage as
the power to secure necessities and
conveniencies of life. The increased
prosperity under the tariff was for
the rich,and not for the poor, It de-
clared, quotingmany authorities tn
this point. It's rebuttal failed to show
that many other things than differ
ence IN tariff entered into difference
in conditions between 1896 and 1907,
and It did 49, N-ve figures to back
up its assertion that there had been
an increase in living expenses.
On the whole, the debate was very
close as was proved by the two to
one decision. The weak point was
that the speeches were memorized
so that It was impossible for the
speakers to meet each other fairly,
and a good deal of time was wasted
by each side in talking about argu-
