More Tenors Needed

The festival chorus is making progress. Prof. Fred l., Grambs. the chorus di- rector, said that last nights rehearsal was the best he had yet conducted The chorus has been working only on the "Eugen Onegin" numbers, but next week it will probably take up the two Wagner num- bers that are to he on one of the fes- tival programmes--one from "Lohengrin' and one from "Meistersinger.

Trayelinr T,hrough the south

George R.. Chesbrough of New York, southern passenger agent of the Dela- ware and Hudson company. touristsline running into Canada, is in Birmingham. He Is one of the best known and most popular passenger officials in the south Atlantic coast section.
 Although I have been visiting the south twice year, this Is my first trip to Birmingham" said MT. Chesbrough. My business has been chiefly along the At lantic and in the gulf cities. The south is becoming more prosperous every year. New Orleans Is making great strides in every way-in population and commer- cial importance, and there is hardly city in any part of the south that is not growing fast. Birmingham is one of the well advertised cities In the United States, and the best of 1t is the visitor who sees it for the first time will be agreeably surprised: for notwithstanding the fact that this city has been so much in the spotlight it's reputation away from | here has been based mainly on It's coal and iron resources. It Is well known as an iron and steel center but one Is scarcely prepared to find such metro- politan city, or such beautiful city from a residence point of view as Bir-
 m.ngham turns out to be. It is an ex-
 ceptionally fine looking city.
 Another notable city in the south Is
 Jacksonville Its growth is very rapid.
 It is crowded with new corners and 1t is
 destined to grow faster and faster
 MT. Chesbrough said that spirit of
 optimism pervaded the whole south. Re-
 garding prohibition he remarked: The
 statewide wave is reecding. In the south, Virginia and Maryland, through their re- spective legislatures, have just defeated
 state-wide prohibition by decisive votes, and Florida will refuse to give up local |option when the people vote on an
 amendment proposition next November.
 In the prohibition cities I have visited the law is not very strictly enforced. In lGeorgia prohibition is a perfect farce

MINNESOTA A. c.
Will NOT DEBATE
ALL EFFORTS TO GET A TRAN
GuLAR LEAGUE FAIL TWO
STATE LEAGUE is A SURE GO,
HoWEVER-SUBJEcT HAS AL
READY BEEN CHOSEN.

The proposed triangular debating
league, composed of the Agricultural
colleges of North and South Dakota
and Minnesota will not be realized
this college year. Efforts to get the
Minnesota school into a three-co
nered debating contest with the Aggie
debaters of the Dakotas have been
OF no avail. However, North and
South Dakota Agricultural schools
viii meet in debate. 1t has been def
nitely decided that each school shall
select two debating teams, an afirma-
tive and a negative. With four debat-
Ing teams both sides of the question
can be discussed on the same even
ing at Brookings and at Fargo.
The question decided up by the A.
c, debating board is, Resolved That
the Federal Government Shall Estab-
lish a Central Bank This question
has been submitted to South Dakota
and their answer is expected soon.
The present plans are to hold the
dual debate the latter part of April.
Candidates for the N. D. A. C. teams
are already getting plenty of good
preliminary work in the society de-
Rates and early in January the reg
ular debating squad will be picked.

S RO lG FOR REFCRN
Debaters at the A. C. Seem to be Aft
err Reform In National
Government,

Judging from the spirit of the de-
batting element at the A. G. the stu
dent body in general is very strong
for at least three big steps in the ma
t!onal reform movement.
At the last meetings Of the Athen-
ian, Philomatheian and Hesperian
Literary societies the Woman's Suf-
frage question, the direct election of
senator's and the Oregon system of
direct legislation were debated. The
outcome of all three debates was a
unanimous vote for the affirmative.
Seemingly the students on the neg
ative side of the question did not have
q look in with the opponents. The
Woman's Suffrage question was IF
special interest because the question
was debated not as a national issue,
but as North Dakota issue.
