OUR DEBA1ERs DEFEATED
The Mitchell Dcbaters Met Their First
Defeat Saturday Night AT the
Hands of Carleton College.

Word was received late Saturday
evening that the University team,
consisting of Sidney Graham, Fred
Smith and James Dobson, had met
defeat at the hands Of Carleton col
lege at Mortified, Mimi. The yictors
received the unanimous decision of
the three judges.
DR.. Kerfoot, who went up with the
debaters Friday evening, returned
Monday. He said that he was
proud of the showing the team made
against SO strong an institution as
Carleton college and that each man
by his appearance on the platform
and his arguments was a credit to
his school. DR.. Kerfoot stated that
one of the judges acknowledged to
him that Dakota Wesleyan's debating
team was the equal of those from
the larger schools and universities.
The Carleton debaters themselves
said that Mitchell had sent a strong
er team against themselves then had
Ripon college from Wisconsin, who
defeated them with their side of the
question. The Doctor said that the
boys accepted their defeat manfully
and were the first to congratulate
the winners. This being but the
first defeat in six Intercollegiate de-
bates there seems to be no special
reason for being downcast. When
pressed for the probable reason for
defeat DR.. Kerfoot said that he was
undoubtedly %prejudiced but thought
that though the judges were con-
scientious men they perhaps took
the merits of the question more into
consideration than they did the argu-
ments.
He said that Carleton extended
every possible courtesy to the team
and that they had no reason to com
plain of the treatment they received.
The members of the team will prob
ably arrive home on this evenings
Omaha.

Botching the Capital.

Sioux Valley News: The Pierre
papers are finding fault with the ar
rangement of the rooms in the new
capitol and quarreling over the re-
sponsibility for the botch, trying to
make a little cheap political capital
out of the situation. 1t seems that
the architect went on and made pro-
vision for the supreme court without
consulting the members of it and the
capitol commission adopted the plan
without giving the court an oppor-
tunity 70 consider it. Two of the
judges are given chambers on the
ground floor and three upon the first
floor and the s~tenographers are each
given a room to himself but remote
from the judge he serves. instead of
being placed in close connection with
the judge and where he could act as
a buffer between the judge and the
public. 1t certainly is a very badly
considered plan and the architect
who devised it should be rewarded
with a leather medal, and it is hardly
conceivable that a capitol commits
sion should have adopted such a bad
ly arranged scheme without giving
the court a chance to speak for itself.
AS We understand it the building is
not yet plastercd and it would seem
that such foolishness ought to be
corrected at this time witt. 1T very
great added expense.

Nevertheless they made their way to

bodies of the two men who were in

HELD A MASS MEETING
City Hall Crowded Sunday Eeniny foi
for Great Mass Meeting i'll Be-
half of Temperance.

1t was an interested crowd OF peo-'
pie who filled the city hall to it's ut
most capacity Sunday evening, and
many stood up throughout the SER
vice.
The churches suspended services
to unite i'll the temperance cause and
it was one of the most successful
meetings that has been held previous
to election day. Pastor Bowdish pre-
sided at the meeting and frequently
interjected some reamrks in his intro
duction OF the speakers. On one oc-
casion he ead u clipping from an
Aberdeen paper with reference to
the bankruptcy proceedings of a
| Wa.ertown firm, which had recently
failed. Mr.. Bowdish said that if that
failure had taken place in Mitchell
it would have been attributed to the
dryness OF the town, but Watertown
had plenty OF saloons. Mr.. Bowdish
said that it was a significant fact that
since prohibition went into effect that
there has not been a failure in Mitch
that business is injured through the
absence of the saloon.
Captain Houlet, of the Salvation
Army, led the singing and also de-
livered an address, i'll which he re-
ferred to the work of the Army
among the ones who are addicted to
strong drink. His address was of an
interesting nature.
Mrs. McNair, of Rockford, H., who
is a guest of Mrs. C. c. Lowrie, re-
cited a Temperance selection with
much fervor and ability. The recita-
ton was quite applicable to the situa-
tion and was presented IN fine shape.
Rev. e. NJ. letters of the Baptist

| cations that have been made by ply

LETTERS presented an array Of figures
of the drink bill of this country and
then showed what could be accom-
plished With the money to bench,
humanity.
DIR. Hoagland, pastor of the AIeth-
odist church made the closing adj
dress of the evening and it was re-
garded as orc OF the best of the en-
tire campaign. lie said he had inst
come from Indiana, where 46 coun
ties in the state mad gone dry, 4
that the great tidal wave was swee,
ing west and that it was coming VI
from the south, and that we must
keep Mitchell in line. DR.. Hoagland
spoke in very strong terms OF the
protection Of the boys and girls, and
wondered Why some protection had
not been thrown around them from
the influences Of the saloon when
the game birds and the fish We're
looked after with such care. He
spoke of the economic side of the
question as to what money there is in
it for the city, and showed the fal-
lacy of the argument of taking mon
ey away from the butcher, the grocer
or the dry goods merchant and put
ting it in the saloon. He declared
that the saloons furnished the temp
tations to debauch men and women,
and hat the drunkard and the sa-
loonkeeper acknowledged the indict-
ment. The pastor closed his address
with a mighty appeal for the people
to stand together and keep the saloon
out of Mitchell.
