THE ADAMS PRIZE DEBATE.
Douglass and Dunbar Societies Discuss
Foreign immigration South.

Douglass and Dunbar Societies Discuss
Foreign immigration South.
BY Miss MARY l. HASKELL.
The second annual Ada prize de
bate was recently held at Hampton in.
situte. the subject being Resolved.
That foreign immigration to the Unit
ed States should be encouraged toward
the SOUTH" The contestants were rep
representatives. Of the Douglass Literary
society. and decision was rendered
In favor Of the affirmative, defended
by the Dddglass society.
The earnestness OF the debaters. the
enthusiasm of the audience and the
general spirit of competition made the
debate an exciting one. While the ali-
dience was gathering the cheering sec.
tons of both societies sang their club
songs and greeted the entrance of va,
rious honorary members and the ap-
pearance of the debaters with cheers
and applause.
The affirmative speakers. after supu
lating that in fairness the debate must
take into consideration the welfare Of
mankind rather than the welfare of a
single race, declared that foreign i'm
migration toward the south would de-
veIop agricultural and industrial inter
ests, would relieve congestion in north
ern cities and would improve the char
acter and intelligence of the laborine
classes by bringing in thrifty laborers
of all races.
1t would decrease the demand for
child labor In the south. would raise
wages. reduce the cost of living and
would introduce n spirit of competi-
ton and progress. The negative
speakers in their deduction of results
emphasized their belief that undue
haste in the development of the south
would be to the disadvantage of pos-
terity: that the character of the labor
ing classes would he lowered and the
cost of living raised: that money
would be sent ont of the country: that
white and coIored southerners would
be thrown out OF work and that other
race problems would be forced upon
the already overbur,lened south.
The affirmative in rebuttal declared
that immigration has raised wages in
the north and might Ike expected to do
the same In the south and pointed out
that the immigration laws especially
exclude such foreigners as are candi-
dates for nsylums and other charita-
BILE institutions.

DISCUSS launch
F n hARBOR
PILOTS

The question of granting a contract
TO the Young Brothers to supply a
pilots launch, doing away with the
rowboats now used by the men who
guide incoming and outgoing vessels
through the Honolulu harbor chan
nels, was discussed at some length by
the board of harbor commissioners at
its meeting yesterday afternoon. No
decision was reached, however, the
matter being deferred until word is
received from Commissioner James
Wakefield. now on a two months va
cation on the mainland.
Commissioner Wakefield was ap-
pointed to investigate this matter and
determine the adyisability of alter
ing the present system. The appro-
priation for the pilot service was re-
duced by the recent legislature,
otherwise Commissioner Wakefield
proposed to advise the purchase of a
pilot launch by the commission. The
bid of the Young Brothers comes we'll
within the appropriation, however,
and unless a suggestion to the con-
trary is received from Wakefield, the
bid probably will be accepted.
