The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1901-1982, 1909-05-20
Argument of Affirmative.

The Hendrix representatives
maintained that the exclusion of
Chinese laborers had been an I'M
qualified success for Fl years, and
that this policy of exclusion should
likewise be extended to all orientals;
that the western riots were due to
the admission of coolies and such
difficulties would inevitably result
in complications and wars with the
eastern powers. They showed how
ruinous was the competition be-
tween the cheap labor Of the orient
with white American labor and
claimed that with protective tariff
for capitol the country should also
protect its laborers from an influx
of monaghan hordes. Mr.. Wade
read letters from the governors OF
a large number of states, all of
whom favor exclusion and said
that public sentiment demanded
such policy. In reply to the claim
that there was an economic need
for oriental labor, the affirmative
urged that it would be better to
preserve the unoccupied lands and
undeveloped resources of the nation
for the future needs of our own
people. The admission of oriental
laborers, it is claimed, would mean,
before a generation had passed, the
most monumental race struggle
the world has ever seen, and until
the United States has solved the
negro question it should be slow iii
creating greater one.
The Negative Side.
The negative side contended
that instead of policy Of rigid ex-
clusion the United States should
exercise careful restriction of
oriental immigration; that Japan
was now a hrst-class power and to
deny admission of her citizens
would be an insult which that ma
ton would be sure to resent with
the sword. Statistics were read
showing that, while the Pacific
coast states contain practically all
of the orientals, wages in those
states are higher than anywhere
else in the nation and labor is at
premium, proving that the compe-
tition was working no injury to
American labor. Fruit growers
and other employers were quoted
as favoring immigration in order to
Supply the deficiency of labor. 1t
was also urged that both Chinese
Sand Japanese are quiet and indus
Frious, guilty of few violations of
the law and causing less trouble
than almost any other race.
N At the conclusion of the debate,
the judges, Chief Justice +. A.
sMcCulloch and Hon. Morris M.
Cohn of Little Rock and Hon. w.
m. Tompkins of Prescott, retired
to decide the winning team, and
within few minutes President J.
~. Doyne of the State Normal arose
to announce their decision. After
an ingenious talk in which he al
sernately raised the hopes of each
ide and brought applause from
Moth, Mr.. Doyne stated that the
verdict of the judges was in favor
Of the negative.
Each judge graded according to
hts own system, and at the close
simply wrote OH slip of paper the
name of the side which he thought
produced the better argument. IT.
was learned after the debate that

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

The Christmas spirit is abroad
and the dealers in merchandise of
all kinds are handing out goods for
holiday gifts in great numbers.
The hustle and hustle of the
season began about two weeks ago,
and since then there has been no
let up. Every man and woman one
meets has bundles galore, and the
delivery wagons and express COM
panies are pushed to the limit
There is only one day more be.
tore Christmas, and tomorrow will
be very busy day, for there are
no doubt many this year, as there
always is, who have put off the

0LE0MARGARINE VS.. BUTTER.

Since licenses have been taken
out by several parties for the sale
of butterine the price of butter has
taken a big drop. The price Of the
latter had been going UP until it
reached So cents a pound This
made it impossible for many fami-
lies to indulge in such a luxury,
and when butterine came on the
market there was a general rush
for it, at 20 cents a pound.
At Bomboy's market over half a
ton of it was sold the first eight
days. Butter began TO take a tum-
bic, until it fell to 2S cents, and it
is reported that one dealer is sell
ing at "a cents.
Some claim that after the first of
the year the price Of butter will go
up again, as the dealers in butter
inc may not be willing to pay the
license fee of $Ioo for the whole
year, as they will have to do if they
continue the sale.
If butter goes up again, there is
little doubt that the sale of butter
inc will be continued, and in this
event it is probable that butter will
be a scarce article. as many farm
ers claim that they cannot afford to
make butter at the present price,
and say they will sell their COWS
and quit making butter.

MAYOR MAY REApPOINT
COMPTROLLER BACHELLER.
Republican Council Bar to Mani
inc a Democrat.

While Mayor Haussling has not in
dictated who he will appoint city comp
troller at the end of this month. 1t is
believed in ~well-informed circles that
he will send to the Council the name of
Comptroller ]. Henry Bachelor. The
office has a salary of $4,000 and the term
Is five years. Mr.. Bachelor is a Re-
publican and vas appointed by Mayor
Haussling predecessor, Henry NJ.
Doremus.
While it is agreed that the Council
would Immediately confirm Mr.. Bachel-
Ter, it is not believed that it would con-
firm a Democrat. The board is Repub-
lican. In the event Of the Mayor send
ing in the name of a Democrat 1t is
thought likely that the appointment
would be held up in the Common Coun-
Gil and Comptroller Bachelor would
hold over for another year at least.
1t is understood that the Mayor viii

STORAGE EGG CROP HARD
HIT BY WARM THEIR

age eggs on hand now. This is about
three times the usual number of cases,
and is due to the fact hat the warm
weather all oyer the country this fall
has kept UP the supply of new eggs.
We do not look for any great reduc-
ton in prices, for just as soon as a cold
spell or snow-storm hits the West and
Southwest the supply of new eggs will
drop off and the storage eggs come into
the market.
THE egg market has been steady fol-
a long while, and, while prices may
drop a trife within the next couple OF
weeks, owing to the big supply of stor-
age eggs, we do not look for the bot
tom to drop out of the market, as
some of the New York dealers seem to
fear. Our view is that the price of
eggs will remain about stationary for
some time to come; that is, ranging
from SO to SO cents per dozen for fresh
eggs, with storage eggs a couple OF
cents lower.
