alive.
The debaters were:
Manitoba--R. MCGOWAN, c. B. Low
son., S. Abrahamson.
Fargo-Mr. Codding, Mr.. Talbot,
Mr.. Musburger.
MCGOWAN First Speaker.
Robert MCGOWAN of Manitoba uni
versity opened the debate, setting
forth the differences between the two
systems, and taking as his principal
pointhe origin and results of the
two governments as a whole. With
splendid enunCiation and the conf
dence born of a thorough grasp of his
subject, Mr.. MCGOWAN traced the on
stitution of the United States, and
showed that all along the line 1t had
marred legislation by it's rightly and
lack of the main features which con-
stttute the British cabinet system. The
cabinet form Of government, he de-
clared, has had a steady growth and
development, which accounts for it's
great efficiency at the present time,
whereas the presidential form has re-
manned practically where it was on
the day the constitution was ratified.
In dealing with the results, he con-
trasted the rigidity of the presidential
- ~ N~AA ~ ia SNhC
cabinet form of government. When
the American fathers drew up the con-
stitution of the United States, it was
believed that in the division of powers
lay the strength of a government.
Now this idea has been disproven;
Capitalization has come to be the es-
.sential feature. Going on to speak of
the results, MI. MCGOWAN illustrated
the superiority of the cabinet form by
two examples. First. in the manner
of elections in which, under the pres
idential form, the stated periods Of
elections secure office for all official
bodies, no matter what their conduct
may be, until the expiration Of their
term; whereas in the cabinet form, no
power can retain Office If it loses the
confidence of the people. Secondly, in
the carrying of an amendment to the
constitution, which the speaker proved
was an exceptionally difficult task in
the United States.

How Flies Transmit Typhoid.

In two ways. The first and most
important is as follows: Flies breed
in privies. Flies bred in privies that
have been used by typhoid patients
get infected es maggots. They then
excrete typhoid germs the rest of their
lives. Fly-spec..s from such Infected
IL 'es deposited on food is one-prob-
ably the chief-way in which typhoid
fever is spread in this State.
The other way is for flies to visit
typhoid cXcreta and get the germs
on their feet and mouths and then
walk over food.
Fly-borne typhoid fever accord
ingly may be prevented by so dis
posing Of typhoid eXcreta that flies
can not get 10 it, either to lay eggs,
or To feed.
All closets should bc ny-proof.

Promoting Prosperity.
Wilmington Star.

Brain, Drawn and capital are the
powerful forces in development, and
when they are liked together the re-
suit is production. Production creates
prosperity and prosperity creates con-
tentment and happiness. The chief
consideration in the employment Of
the powerful forces in production is
whether country or a community
has resources capable Of development,
attractive to capital and fit for the
application of intelligence and indus
try. The entire country is anwsering
that question by it's intense effort TO
bring about all kinds of development.
showing that the country's resources
are varied and extensive
There is not a section of the coun-
try that has not got its resources and
they are being recognized. All Of us
ought to recognize and appreciate
them. In order to do that we must
make study of our resources and not
go to sleep over them. How can we
best develop our resources and make
assets Of them BY studying our re-
sources we can see the opportunities
In them and when we know what the
opportunities are it is up to US to
seize them and go to work
One of the most gratifying evil
dences that the SOuth's resources are
being studied and recognized lies in
the fact that the railroads have set
to work to do their part in their de-
velopment. Capital seems to he see
ing our resources first and it is time
for us to wake up and cooperate with
capital in whatever it undertakes in
the way of development The rail-
road arrangements for instance, have
recognized the resources Of the coun-
try as they have never done before.
Ihat is evidenced by the fact that
they have gone to work in earnest
all over the South. The railroad svs-
TENS Of the south have enlarged their
vision and broadened their scope
They are no longer content to manage
their physical properties and look af
ter the details of finance and transpor-
tatlon, but in addition to their great
administration staffs they have estab-
Ilshed strong bureaus and depart
ments for the sole work Of develop
ing their territory. They are put
ting a large portion of their capital
into that work and are placing it in
the hands of men who have fine ca
pabilities for doing things.
