The Training School.


This week closes another year Of the
Union City Training School. It is COM
mencement, and the exercises began
Monday night at Reynolds Opera House
with a defamation contest, accom-
panied with musical selections by the
classes in that department The exer-
cises we're opened with prayer by Rev.
q. J. Carman. The young men were
allotted the following subjects The
Black Horse and His Rider, Clarence
Bufford; To the Lion, George KinkIe;
A Vision Of War, Richard Honeycutt;
Fort Wagner, Jack Williams; The IN
known Speaker, Frank Key; Sparticus
to the Gladiators, Grover Wilson; The
American Flag, Rube. Smith; Grady s
Speech on Slavery, Waller B. Caldwell;
TayIor's Tribute to the Lost Couse,
Paul Erwin; The Southerner's Heritage,
Ben WEIGH; The Death Of John Brown,
Fred Key; Ben Deene, Thurman Tai
ley; A Scene on the Battlefield, Earl
Lancaster.
The young men not only sustained
the reputation of the school on this oc-
casion but added to it more honor. and
lustre. The medal offered by Judge
Stuttgart was won by Waller B. Cald-
well. Second honors went to Ben WEIGH.
The judges were w. II. Swiggart, Jr.,
Geo. A. Gibbs, Jr., and w. M. Miles.
Mr. Gibbs presented the medal with
suitable remarks.
On Tuesday night the annual inter-
society debate took place. The propo-
sition was A Constitutional Amend
ment Should be Adopted Providing that
United States Senators Should be Elect
ed by the People.
Affirmative Paul Erwin, Grover Will
son. Negative Ben Welcli, Frank
Key.
Paul Erwin spoke first. The young
man halls from Troy and has been with
the school for several years. His argu-
ment was prepared in systematic and
convincing array. He spoke easily,
pointedly and fuently. He dwelt upon
the sovereignty of the people and the
safety of national affairs with individu-
al liberty and popular suffrage. He
referred to the Oregon system the in
itiative, referendum and recall 80 and
told of the order that had been restored
from political corruption and confusion
in that State. He recalled the fact that
the subject had engaged the attention
Of the Senate since 1926. 1t was not
new. 1t was synonymous with Democ-
racy, in harmony with the teachings o.
Jefferson and in accord with the spirit
Of American independence.
The second speaker was Frank Key,
the young man who was honored BY

aeontroeersalist Of less magnitude. His
address is smooth, his voice deep and
resonant. He is self-contained and con-
fident Of his grounds. In other words,
be has a measure Of magnetism that
distinguishes the orator. He referred
to the great instrument that had stood
the usage Of a century in the growth Of
the greatest nation on earth. He spoke
OF the Constitution aud OF the provision
for the election Of United States Sena-
tors as one of the greatest examples OF
statecraft. He deplored the tendency
and impulse to impair this instrument
by the clamof for a change in our
organic system. He spoke OF the Wis
dom Of the fathers in framing the sys-
tenn, and of special reasons exercised in
the rejection Of changes between the
State and the nation. A change Of the
Constitution, or an amendment to elect
Senators by popular vote, would seri-
ously interfere with interstate affairs.
Amendments are fraught with more or
less danger. A change affecting our
elective system may impair or destroy
the whole fabric. The Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments were adopted
for the benefit OF the Union, but they
had brought nothing but complications
and unsatisfactory results. So with the
amendment for popular election Of Sena-
tors. Another serious mistake which
may be effected by this change is the
possibility of electing Senators by a
plurality vote. The Legislatures must
electby a majority of the members repre-
senting the voters Of the State, but with
direct vote Senator may be elected
by plurality. These are grave dangers
and the American people should coun-
sci long and wisely before taking the
step.
The rejoinders were short, but no less
combatiye. Mr.. Wilson scored the fact
that Madison, the inspiration OF the
Republican party and its policies, was
the author of the present system OF
electing Senators, while Jefferson, the
founder Of Democracy, was the advocate
of the election of Senators by the people.
Mr. WEIGH said that this question was
broader than party. II was question
in which the whole people were inter-
ested, and should be settled regardless
OF party bias.
The speakers we're accorded liberal
applause. No school debate here has
been quite so interesting, and both sides
acquitted themselves with honor.
DIR. J. B. Anderson, j. M, Brice and
y. i. Fry were the judges, and
DR.. Anderson announced the result
with bit of eulogy for the combatants
The negative won by the advantage OF

Vanderbilt in the inter-scholastic orator.
ical contest. Mr.. Key is the Hotspur
OF the societies. He speaks with con-
siderable fire and force. He spoke Of
the constitutional provision for the cleo
ton Of United States Senators as a COM
promise between the Northern and
Southern politician. The South wanted
a direct vote, and the North wanted the
Executive entrusted with the appoint
ment OF Senators. The compromise
was the election Of Senators by the
State Assemblies. Mr.. Key said that
the people and not the Senators we're
responsible for the character Of the SEN
ate. The representatives IN the State
Assemblies come from the people, and
these representatives are entrusted with
the election Of Senators. The Senators
we're, therefore, elected indirectly by the
people, and this method embraced the
majority rule, whereas direct vote
would bring the evils OF possible cleo
ton by plurality vote. The present
system had stood an hundred years as
the bulwark Of the republic and the ma
tons greatness. 1t had withstood the
logic Of the opportunist, and should con-
tinue as the safeguard Of the peoples
rights.
The third speaker, Grover Wilson, a
dispassionate and thoughtful reasoner,
marshaled the forces OF very strong
attack. He said that thirty-two States
had already ratified the amendment,
and that this was the growing senti-
ment of the sober, thinking people.
Among the evils of the present system
the deadlock had not only been very ex-
pensiye and unsatisfactory, but it had,
in many instances, destroyed absolutely
the principles of popular government.
1t had given usSenators out Of harmony
ard spirit with the masses, and democrat
lied in large measure the action OF the
Senate. The legislative system gives us
Senators supported by representatives
who are elected by the people solely for
that purpose, and who are otherwise
incompetent for the functions Of the
Legislature. Out of these combinations
come bribery and corruption and mis-
representation in that august tribunal
the United States Senate. Out Of these
conditions rise Lorimer, Clark, men
of questionable political character and
personal integrity. 1t is such a system
that gives us Senators made by political
bosses with but little care for the inter-
ests of the people, such system that
clothes men who are nothing more than
the hirelings OF ill-starred monopoly
with the highest legislative power. Such
has been the result of the present sys-
tenn, and it is to supplant this system
with popular suffrage that brings the
people together by common consent in
a demand for the popular election OF
United States Senators, SO that we can
elect men OF untarnished honor and UNI
I sullied fame.

new recruit to the ranks of the school
societies this year, and by no means

LIGHTNING STARTS S25O,OOO OIL FIRE

New Orleans, June Slight immense tanks of the Indian Refining company's plant, several miles below this city ou the Mississippi river, containing 3o,00O bar fels of gasoline and 2O0O barrels of kero- sene, valued at $250, 900, were destroyed by fire last night and this morning. The fire was started by bolt of lightning striking one of the tanks.
 Soon after the fire started appeals brought assistance from the New orleans department The fire fighters could do little because of limited facilities and the flames spread rapidly from one tank to another, a warehouse containing can fill- ing machines, pumps and other machinery soon being left in ashes Four thousand feet of hose was brought from this city last night and two tugs in the river be- gan pumping water to save surrounding property.
 At 6 o'clock this mornings the fire was Btill burning, but was under control.

by him. with the result he is again elected to succeed
himself While his majority is probably larger than
that of of his colleagues the ticket 1t Is much
smaller than the normal majority in Platte county.
Another thing of the best assets that made for
the election of Judge Ratteman the apparent IN
different and apathetc of his competitor during
the campaign Judge Robson was and is one OF the
ceanest in Platte county, yet he seemed to be 30
Indifferent and apparently lost to hope, that he made
practically personal campaign whatever, his entire
work being done by the committee and much OF it even
without his knowledge In fact when he approached
by his friends put more life into the campaign and
get where he might be seen his reply was Oh. no.
its no use am a poor politician" which was indeed
the truth. As matter of fact. man the repub-
ican ticket in Platte county had better opportun-
ity of election than did Judge Robson and fail John
Moffet any of half dozen others whose names
might be mentioned would have been elected and 80
might Judge Robson if he had gone out among the peo-
pie and presented his to them personally, as did
Judge Ratterman In a state district camgaign the
people realize that candidate cannot them ALL but
they expect county candidate put in appearance
Another thing that is particularly pleasing to the
republican managers that the result gives the lie to the
statement that they were using the two young men,
Hayes and Braun, catpaws to pull chestnuts out OF
the fire for other candidates. Both these boys made
good gains the brutal majorites usually received
by their democratic opponents and there is denying the
fact that had they been from two to five years Older
they would have poled still greater strength.
As to the candidates for explanation is
necessary Both candidates well known. both cap
able and there advantage of nationality other
supposed Both apparently had personal trends
and enemies in each party and these about balanced the
relative strength of their respective arguments glance
will show that the for not wholly
