LOCAL DEBATERS
WIN VICTORY
PENDLETON HIGH SCHOOL
DEFEATS LA GRANDE
Interesting Forensic Contest Held in
This City Last Evening-UnanimOus
Decision of Judges Awards Victory
to Local SpielerS-IwO Teams In
terpret Question Differently-Good
Musical Numbers.

With a unanimous decision of the
| judges, Pendleton high schools debat-
ing team last night won a victory over
| the high school team from La Grande.
The subject discussed was, Resolved,
! That the state should provide by gen.
eral taxation for a minimum term
of six months in each school district" {"
The local speakers defended the neg
ative.
The decision of the judges, who
were members of the Whitman col
lege faculty. seemed to meet with the
approval of all who heard the foren-
sic contest, as it was generally con-
ceded that the local debaters had by
far the better of the argument at all
stages.
Judges.
The judges were Prof William
Worthngton of the department of
economics; Prof. H. ]. Merriam of the
English department; and Prof. G. b.
Dunmore of the engineering depart
ment of Whitman college.
DeDdtefS.
Joe Williamson, Joe King and Har-
ry Zurbrick were the La Grande boys
who upheld the affirmative Of the
question, while Pendleton's victorious
trio was composed of Harold War
ner, Roy Rowland and Carl Engdahl.
Musical Numbers.
In addition to the debate itself,
some excellent musical numbers were
rendered, much to the delight of the
audience. The violincello solo by
Prof. Carruth with Miss Harriet
Young as accompanist, and the vocal
solo "The Maid and the Rose" by
Miss Hutchins, were among these.
Miss Hutchins is the musical instruc-
tor in the public schools Of the city.
Different Interpretation.
The two opposing teams Interpreted
the question for discussion different
Iy, and this fact probably accounts in
some degree for the one-sidedness OF
the struggle. The visitors started out
with the assertion that the question
was as to the deslrability of having
at least a six months term Of school
in each district. The local debaters
refused to discuss this part of the
question, saying it was conceded and
holding that the point at issue was
whether or no the state should pro-
vide for the schools. They held that
this additional burden should not be
placed upon the state and presented
the county unit plan as substitute.

A School Teacher to Be Admired.

John D. Ryan would like everybody to believe that he plays fair. But he doesn't. He has very falsifying ar ticIe in his paper this week in which he complains that a certain school principal "has gone so far that sne has actually compelled certain pupils to go out into the sidawalk and road and pick up dirty papers. It was al ways the child of some poor man she sent. leaving her own pets free from such unpleasant work. It is about time that this principal took a big tumble to herself and is made to un- derstand that she mustn't play favor ties" MT. Ryan should be ashamed of himself for making so outrageous a statement. There is only one school principal who has asked her children to take an active part in the cleaning up of their section of the city. She has compelled none to do it. But because she has fine ap- preciation of how to teach boys and girls how to love their city and how to make it beautiful and lovable, every boy in the upper grades has been ask ed to cooperate and with pointed sticks go around and pick up the fly ing papers in the square where her school is located. In this group of boys is a boy from one of the wealth. fest families in the city and the Oracle has seen him out with his basket and spiked stick gathering up papers. An other little fellow who makes the rounds as captain of one group is the son of one of the leading surgeons in this part of the state. Another little chap who helps is the son of a former city physician. Another is the son of a large property owner. With these boys. side by side. go little fellows just

Hutchinson is happy over this little incident which the Hutchinson News relates as having occurred there the other day:
 An interesting incident of the visit to this city of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leav- it developed when Miss Leona Taft. third cousin to President Taft. waited on Mrs. Leavitt at the Bisonte hotel lunch counter. Neither recognized the other and it was not known until the next day by Miss Taft that she had served the daughter of her relatives defeated opponent Mrs. Leavitt de- parted from the city unaware of the strange incident.
 Miss Taft is in the city temporarily visiting friends, while her mother is visiting in Emporia and her father is in Chicago. She has done some cleri- cal work at the Bisonte hotel. She was in the lunch room last night when Mrs Leavitt entered. It was pretty busy hour for the waitresses and the head waitress did not want to take any chances of sighting the becom- ing guest. Accordingly she asked Mics Taft who was standing by, to get the order.
 Miss Taft. who is an unusually prei- ty blonde did not hesitate. but step ped behind the counter. and asked:
 What was it for you?"
 Mrs. Leavitt ordered a cup or ted and some fruit. Miss Taft turned in the order and her duties were done. Miss Taft will leave the city on Saturday and will go with her mother to. Sacramento. Cal. the old home. She had been in Emporia with 'hc'' mother and decided to call on frlehcs in the city.
