One of the unique performances of the age occurred March 2Sth in the city of beer-sOaked Mil- waukee. 1t was a debate be- tween Dr. Samuel Dickie, pres ident of Albion College, Michigan and Mayor Rose of Milwaukee, on the great subject of Prohibi- tion. The mayor had challenged some one to debate the question and pr. Dickie was the one who accepted it. By halG past seven o'clock the auditorium which seats 420O people was filled, while outside the building were hundreds begging for admittance The number of tickets at the dispOsal of the prohibition com mittee was small. but prohibit tiOnists were there from several states. Practically every saloon keeper in Milwaukee was there The brewers were out in full force and directly in front of the platform more than a hundred newspaper reporters and special correspondents from almost all the leading cities of the middle west and east sat at the tables arranged for them. Tho Judge of the circuit court presided, A mid deafening cheers Dr. Dick,e opened the evening exercises by reminding his hearers of the i'm portant character of the oc- casion; that it was not an ora torlcai contest, nor a pink tea. but sober discussion of a great question. He first spoke of the liquor traffic as to the opinion held of it by great public leaders ana by the courts of the land. quoting President Mckinley. Archbishop Ireland, Cardinal Manning, Bishop Spaulding. the courts. of half dozen states. and the Supreme Court. Then he spoke of the liquor traffic from It's economic standpoint and very cieVerly called attention to the calamity that would happen if all foods were destroyed. to the suffering that would follow if T textile fabrics were destroyed
