Howard F. Barker Chosen TO
Represent Local School
AT La Crosse

In thought and composition the
orationS delivered in the local Nor
NAL oratorical contest at the M. e.
church last Friday evening were
very good. The fact that the ora
tors had not had sufficient time to
perfect the delivery of their selec-
tons was quite evident, most of
them, however, getting through
without difficulty. The choice of
Mr.. Barker to represent the school
met with the approval of the audi
ence. Mr.. Barker's grafton, THE
Struggle for Democracy" was we'll
written and the arguments clearly
and forcibly brought out. Within
the time which he has to practice on
his delivery he will undoubtedly be
able to shape it into winning form
for the INTENTIONAL State contest
to be held at La Crosse the seven
teenth of next month.
The music by the Normal school
orchestra, under the leadership of
Professor Reed, proved very enter
tanning. The song, "Gondoliers'
Serenade," sung by Mrs. Skogmo,
Miss linn and Miss Willett, was
beautifully rendered and received
hearty applause.
The program was as follows:
Music by the Normal School Orchestra
The Republic and Individual Responsibility
William A. Sanford
Partnership or Patriotsm2 Levi b. Williams
Americas Message to The World
Adelena Forsyth
Trio-''Gondoliers' Serenade,"

The Plaque Of Rubberers.

One may hope, in spite OF the meta
phorists, to avoid the breath of the
deadly upas tree; one may, by great
good fortune, succeed in backing the

Argus, but no mGn, dead or alive, can
escape the gaze of the Rubberer.

Washington, June lG.--"Dont come
to us as democrats and republicans,
but as American citizens seeking
statehood" said Senator johnson OF
Maine. member OF the senate COM
nlttee on territories, with consider
able asperity when Charles A. Spiess.
of Las Vegas started lengthy state-
ment about five minutes before ad-
journment of the days hearing. Mr..
Spiess began with history of tho
organization OF the constitutional con-
yentlon, telling how the democrats
were given this and the republicans
were given that until the gentleman
from Maine somewhat irritably broke
right into the middle of the effort OF
the Black Eagle from San Miguel.
When the senate committee met
this morning to consider the state
hood resolution Chairman William AL
den Smith OF Michigan asked Dele
gate Andrews of New Mexico IL ho
wished to make a statement. Mr.. An
drews declined in favor OF Judge FAN
who was asked If he was satisfied 10
have the committee report favorably
on the house resolution. Judge FAN
replied that personally he was, "but
that the people of New Mexico want
ed the constitution as they had rati-
fled It, Judge Fall said, however
that he thought the best course to
resolution favorably, as an attempt to
change ii would ieopardze state
hoods chances in the house. and he
believed everybody was In favor or
immediate statehood under the Flood
resolution rather than to risk delay.
lie was asked to explain the referen-
dunn IN the constitution and after the
judge stated what no considered IL
was Intended to mean, some of the
senators insisted it meant something
entirely different. This. however. was
dismissed as a point which the peo-
pie of New Mexico could settle later.
Senator Nelson asked Judge Fall to
explain the operation of the present
amending clause, and the judge told
OF the diverse interests OF the terri
tory which required an amendment
~ thIiA III hA ltfiHt Hhil AHt NhuiAlfo
In order that amendments affecting
only one section of the territory
should not be put into the constitu-
ton. Mr.. Spiess followed Judge Fail,
but as related In the foregoing he did
not get very far.
The committee adjourned to meet
at 10 p. IN. Saturday ana will attempt
to finish the hearings tomorrow.
Chairman Smith iilcd twenty six tele~
grams with the committee, messages
received from commercial organlsa-
tions in the two territories asking for
favorable action at once on statehood.
The committee seems to favor report
