cA|RO-PADUcAH DEBATE
"ciosed Door" Won in Contest Be.
tween High Schools Of Two
Cities-cairoites Had
Good Time.

The closed door triumphed agair
and free trade was set back a poin
friday night when the Paducah Higf
school debating team defeated team
from the Cairo, ILL.,. High school and
won the third annual contest between
the schools.
Resolved, That the proposed argu
ment establishing reciprocity between
the United States and Canada should
become a law was the mooted ques-
ton. Hey Browning and Pitman
Hart represented Paducah and the
negative side of the question. Frank
Schoembs and Lester Bumpous made
up the Cairo team and championed
the affirmative end of the argument.
Judge J. C. Speight, Of Mayfield,
Ky, w. NJ. Reeder, OF Benton, KY,
and S. B. Kerr, OF Metropolis, H.,
were the men selected to decide the
uestion. Virgil Cooper, a senior at
the Paducah High School, presided
as chairman of the occasion. The
study hall of the Padueah High
School was the battle ground.
Half a hundred boys and girls form
ed cheering squad that made
things rattle at times. Reeves Elliott
armed with megaphone and mount.
ed upon a piano, led the yells that no
doubt did much to help the Paducah
boys win the victory.
The Cairo debaters were accom-
panied by a small crowd of friends
Plans had been laid for reception to
be held Friday afternoon at the Wash
ington school building, in honor OF
the visiting pupils and Cairo teachers
who were also expected.
Owing to decision of the Cairo
school board the teachers from that
city were not allowed to come and
the plans of the reception was drop
ped.
In spite of the effects of the cold
water sprinkled upon the affair by
the refusal of the Cairo board to al
low the teachers and pupils holiday
to come to Paducah, the debate was
a decided success and few In the audi
ence disapproved of the action of the
judges in awarding the victory to Pa
ducah.
Every cne of the young orators did
themselves and their schools proud
They delivered their arguments in a
decisive and forcefui manner, which
won them much applause.
In winning the decision friday night
ID aducah High School has won two OF
the three debates with Cairo. Last
