ing subject. Resolved that money
is Of more benefit TO mankind than
friendship" The debate was to
have been between Forest Grove and
Heath, but as only Que gentleman,
Rufus Robinson, Of Forest Grove,
came, the matter had TO be re.Arrang-
ed. The speakers at last selected
we're as follows Al, Rufus Robin
son, Wilson Rankin aud Wesley Cliff.
Neg, Louuie Cliff. Vim. Fowler.
Sr., and Wallace Cliff.
The debate vas commenced by
Mr.. Robinson, who declared that
money is the life Of the country.
He warned the opposition not to con-
found love. sympathy aud pity with
friendship, saying they are difiereut.
He talked twenty minutes after which
he was followed by Donnie Cliff, OF
the Negative.
This speaker argued that friend
ship Is Of divine origin, the desire
for some having been planted in the
human heart by God himself. He
pointed out the indescribable wretch
edness and misery, which must Of
necessity come, we're friendship de-
stroyed in this world.
Wilson Rankin, Of the affirmative,
was the next speaker. He declared
that money Is solid and substantial,
while friendship is aeeting as the
winds.
Vim. Fowler, Sr., was the next
speaker. Mr.. Fowler walked the
folks up who were getting drowsy
and they stayed awake too.
Wesley Cliff, Of the Affirmative,
spoke next. He received the inhu.
ence and the power Of money from
the earliest dawn Of history unto the
present day, and told Of the vast
number OF lives that had been lost
IN quest of the precious metals.
Wallace Cliff, Of the negative,
was the next speaker. He held up
the miSer as an example Of human
soul debased by the love OF money.
He reviewed the arguments of the
previous speakers at some length.
Rufus Robinson closed the debate
in a short talk, after which the ques-
tiOn was submitted to the judges.
The decisiol of the judges was unan-
