Straight is the rivers course and true
Through the glad, young hills to yoU, to
you,
Love of my heart, to you'll

The legislative executive and judicial
appropriation bill carries provision
which should be adopted in the interest
of the men who delve for coal in the
depths of the earth. 1t is proposed to use
the money asked for to make thorough
scientific investigation into the causes of
mine explosions, which have been ex-
ceedngly numerous and fatal during re-
cent years. If the cause of these subter-
ranean horrors could be determined and
regulations adopted the money would be
well spent if it amounted to millions.

If free wood pulp would not affect
the price of paper, what protection for
American industry is there in the tariff
on wood pulp. Congressman Dalzell of
the House ways and means committee is
unable to give a good reason for block
ing the movement for free wood pulp.
Ii it would make paper cheaper, the
users Of paper have right to that relief.
If il would not, it would at least do no
harm. If its effect is in doubt, it is
worth trying. The demand for the imme-
date removal of the duty is very gem
eral and very insistent. The case is
parallel to that which led to the tenn
porary placing of soft coal on the free
list six years ago.

COLLEGE
TEAMS To
DEBATE
Lincoln Jefferson School of
Law and Illinois College Of
Law Debating Teams Will
Meet in Hammond in the
Near Future.

Arrangements were begun last night
whereby Hammond people will have an
opportunity to witness an inter-col-
legiate debate at home, the treat hav-
ing become a possibility only through
the location of the Lincoln Jefferson
College Of Lave here.
The inter collegiate debate will be
between representative students of the
Lincoln-J efferson College of Law of
Hammond and the Illinois College of
Law of Chicago. The latter is an old
established school and has a reputation
to sustain, while the Hammond college
is merely on the threshold in point of
years and has a reputation to make for
itself. Consequently each of the two
| institutions will put forth their best
men.
Debate Set for LincoIn's Birthday.
The date for the debate has been set
for Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 18th, which
| viii also be the centennial of the great
mans birth. 1t is probable that the
| day will be observed both in Indiana
and Illinois as holiday, and If this
be the case 1t will be most fitting that
an inter collegiate debate close the day
in Hammond.
| The subject for debate has not yet
been chosen and will not be for another
week or two. but each of the colleges
| will make their selection of debaters
| this week.
At a class meeting to be held next
| Thursday evening the students of the
Lincoln j efreFson College of Law will
choose their men, while the Illinois
College of Law students will make theii
selections next Saturday
College Dance After Debate.
According to the plans that have al
| ready been made for the evening the
entertainment will not be confined tc
debate. 1t is to be only part of the
program, which will be carried out in
the Masonic temple or in some other
large hall. A college dance will fol
low the debate, and will be interspersed
with special music and readings.
1t will be the colleges first socia
intercourse with the people of Ham.
mond and will be an annual feature
arranged on the same elaborate seal,
as commencement day. The inter
} collegiate debates will give Hammond
! a new standing among Indiana cities
| who have heretofore pointed will
: pride to their colleges. The Lincoln
! Jefferson College of Law more thar
anything else has through its location
: placed Hammond In a new rank as al
: educational center.
