STACEDBY
DEBATERS
Big Crowd Hear Hamilton
and Wilkinson in War
Of Words

With the city hall crowded last
night, the audience being pretty well
divided between Socialists and non
Socialists, Elder U. G. Wilkinson and
Rev G. G. Hamilton put on their joint
discussion. j. L. Wllemon. editor Of
the Rush Springs Herald presided
over the meeting and introduced the
speakers.
The proposition to be debated was.
Socialism is fundamentally right and
lis a remedy for present social and eco
nomic evils" Hamilton affirming. For
over two hours the two speakers went
round and roun, afforeing the crowd
plenty Of entertainment, principally OF
a serio-comic character.
In his opening speech Hamilton dc.
fined Socialism as the system where.
by things that are socially used shall
be socially owned and democraticallg
managed He did not attempt to en-
large on the definition and to explain
the workings Of the system and be.
yond bare assertions offered no argu-
ment in support Of his proposition He
dwelt at length upon evils Of tho
present system, which he attributed
! wholly to economic causes.
In replying Wilkinson first observ.
ed that # was up to his opponent to
prove the affirmative side Of the ques.
ton and that he had failed to offer
any proof. He assailed the fundamen.
tai doctrine Of Socialism that eco.
nomic causes were at the root Of al
social evils, asserting that man shall
not live by bread alone. Sin and
crime" said he, ARE the greatest
social evils ana they are not caused
by economic conditions The greatest
slavery is that OF the bodily passions.
Men OF corrupt Incorporate minds
cannot be free" The speaker read
from Bebers Woman and drew the
conclusion that Socialism was oppos'
ed to religion and the monogamio
family
Early in the action The talkfest. fol-
such II was, with little OF the elements
of a debate on either side, drifted into
personalities, each speaker endeavor
ing to fire his sHarpest darts at shs
other, the crowd cheering acc3ding
to their sympathies, the real issues IN
volyed being lost in the scuffle. It Il
