a BRACE OF DEBATING VICTORIES
Viroqua High School Defeats La Crosse
and Sparta on Labor Question

The triangular debates between Viro-
qua, Sparta and La Crosse last Satur-
day night put Viroqua strictly on the
map and caused our neighbors to stand
up and take notice. The question de-
bated was: Resolved, that labor
unions as conducted during the past
twenty years have shown a tendency
that has been detrimental to the United
States.
""iroqus took the affirmative in their
debate mere with Sparta Edith Nor
lev, Harold Eckhardt and Bernard
Anderson turned the trick on Sparta in
this city. The question was hard
fought, but it was clearly evident that
the Viroqua team had prepared their
arguments more carefully and made
their points more telling than did the
visitors. 1t may also be said that in
point of oratory Viroqua had Sparta out
classed and thoroughly deserved the
unanimous decision they received.
About twenty five went down to La
Crosse to see and hear Earl Arlington,
Royal Bennett md Albon Tyvand trim
up the gateway city debaters. They
also received an unanimous decision and
took the negative side of the question.
In this debate again Viroqua showed
better preparation than their appo-
nents.
This being the first time that the
Viroqua school has debated with either
city, considerable enthusiasm has been
created over the vicscyies. Summing
the debaters up as whole, each one
did credit to the city and school and the
CENSOR is proud of them.

The TrippviIIe Robbery.

On>W Wednesday last the three defend
ants charged with robbing the Tripp-
vile merchant were given an examina-
tion before Justice of the Peace Nc
Kittriek near Elroy. We are informed
by the district attorney that the evil
dence was more than sufficient to war
rant the holding of The parties, and es-
pecially two of them, to the circuit court.
The justice gave the district attorney to
understand that the parties would be
held and confidentially asked him what
the bond should be. 1t was agreed be-
tween these officials that each defend
ant should give bail bond of $500.
District Attorney Bennett was much
surprised and chagrined to have the
justice summarily dismiss the case.
Immediately after dismissing the case
another warrant was prepared by the
district attorney returnable at Viroqua,
but the justice declined to sign it.
Doubtless further proceedings will be
taken. Such decisions upon the part OF
justices will have tendency to bring
about the establishment OF a municipal
court in Vernon county.

any claims to championship laurels.
The second contest between the Chi
nese Alohas and the Palama A. c.. re-
suited in n walkover in favor of the
Palamas, who found no pilikia in

IA to 3.
The first game began with the Ka-
alas at bat. and the Chinese lads took
the field. Kupa singled and stole
the second bag, S. Parker retired
after striking the air three times.
