Local Boys Win
In First Debate
Max Stevens, Oliver Steele and
Andy Luscher VictOrs By Two
of Possible Three Points

The debating team from the
Tyler High School met the team
from the local high school in
debate at the Methodist Church
last Friday evening. The ques-
ton discussed was Resolved,
that all telephone and telegraph
lines should be owned and oper-
atedb by the Federal government.
The Redwood team, consisting
of Max Stevens, Oliver Steele
and Andy Luscher supported the
negative of the question. The
Tyler team consisted of Peter
Hermanson, Godfrey Severson
and John Scanlon. Judge A. c.
Dolliff acted as chairman, Peter
Hermanson very ably opened the
debate for the affirmative and
was followed by Max Stevens.
Both teams handled the ques-
ton admirably, showing careful
study of the question of the ow-
nership of utilities here and
comparison with existing Euro
pean conditions. The Tyler boys
showed a splendid knowledge of
their subject, but were unable
to compete with the Redwood
boys in rebuttal. The members
of the local team were quick to
grasp each possibly assailable
point and to answer it def
nitely and positively. The de-
livery of the boys on both sides
showed many of the crudities of
inexperience, but was above that
of the average high school stu
dent. Most of the voices were
excellent, the chief difficulty
arising from poor enunciation
and careless pronunciation.
The judges, w. w. Smith,
Supt. G. N. Childs and Mr.. Law,
Ter, decided two to one in favor
of the Redwood team. This
means that the local boys will
continue to debate the question
with teams from other sections
until they are beaten or win the
championship. The greatest
confidence is felt that the Red
wood team will do some splen
did work during the debating
season. The three boys compos
ing it rank high in scholarship
all possess attractive PERSONAL
ties, good voices, and good stag
appearance. With more conf
, dence in themselves, more prac
tice and a fuller study of thei
: subject, they are bound to re
peat often the victory of Frida,
night. Under the competen
leadership of Supt. Brainard AM
Prof. Jordan, they have an ex
cellent opportunity of making
record for themselves and thei
, school.
, During the interval between
the debate and the rendering O
| the decision. the Girls Glee Club
, accompanied by Miss Helen Kob
; litz, sang The Dixie Kid wit
very pleasing effect.

LETTER RECEIVED
IN CITY GIVES
another Version
Doesn't Believe There Will
be Extensive Immigration
to the United States.
SEES NOTHING BUT
VICTORY FOR BRITISH
Command of the Seas Ev-
erything-Conditions at
Home Depicted,

If England can keep control of the
sea and keep the Germans on the con-
tinent, conditions i'll London and
throughout the English Isles will not
be very bad during the winter.
This is the declaration made by
j. G. Morrow, u prominent London
of this city. Mi. Morrow discusses
the war us ii is viewed in England
and gives q graphic description of
conditions in that country.
He believes that England can main
tain control of the sea, and conse-
quently she will keep the commerce
of the world moving. The fear OF Il
Zeppelin attack Also has been dis
PEELED. LonhoncrS 10 longer look for
1t, Mr.. Morrow says.
An importan. fenture of Mr. Nor
rows letter is the prognoticatnry
paragraph anent the close of the war.
Contrary to the general belief in
this country. Mr. Morrow declares
there will be no great increase in emil
grafton to the United States.
While the burden of the war tax
will extend over generations. MIR. Nor
row believes that the resumption of
business affairs will cause ~ boom
that will give employment to thou
sands.
Mr.. Morrow argues that, as it was
practically impossible for thousands
Of the peasant class in the various Eu-
ropean countries to leave their ma
tive land before the war broke out, 1t
will be much more so after the strug-
gle is over. There was great lack
Of funds before the conflict started,
and there will be a greater lack after.
The letter follows:
should infer from the letters I get
from the states that your papers are
painting the picture of the war lit
tie too black for you, as it refers TO
England and London at least. OF
course it is a most terrible war, and
we all know it already and it is quite
impossible to fully anticipate Just
what is in store for us, but we are
not at all downhearted and doing and
intend to do our best to come out on
top. We have no idea where the Ger
mans will succeed i'll invading our
country; of course it is possible, like

In short, was Big Businessp simply

In short, was Big Business" simply playing possum?
 If this surmise is correct, some peo, pie are playing with fire, If com, bination should be formed strong to unhorse the Wilson administration and the party that is devoting it's efforts to eliminate class distinctions and re- establish equality before the law in this country those who accomplish 1t may live to regret their work. If 1t is demonstration that this Nation must be governed by class in the interest of class rather than by all classes for all classes-if 1t shall come to the point where all must be with one class or the other-it will be found that mil lions who have believed that the com petitive system with equality of op- portuDity is yet possible in the coun- try will align themselves with the class that is not as high as Big Busi- ness" when measured by the financial scale. If the system" should be again restored to power it is not likely that those who next defeat it will present a program that is as satisfactory or as fair to the general business interests of the Nation as is the policy of the present administration.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

T E. CHILBERG, Scott Bone and
 other Seattle business men have O returned from Eastern trips where they associated with those of Big Business" enthused with the prospect of defeating the Democratic party and the Wilson administration at the next elections. What are We to believe from this? Are We to take it as an indication that all this talk about accepting the Presidents New Freedom" for business was mere pre-. tense? Are We to understand that the criticism of the foreign policy of the administration by Champ Clark. Hearst. Mclean and other Democrats and pretended Democrats and the jingOes generally has inspired those of Big Business" with the belief that a chance is before them to get Wilson out of the way while they reiustate the reactionary elements in power and
 restore the old class-advantage system?

coLoRADo's CRIME.

THoSE statutes proposed by the
 Governor of Colorado and about
 to be adopted by the Legislature are good, but their enforcement will be better.
 Had Colorado enforced the laws she now has most Of the grievances of the strikers would have been automatical' ly eliminated. Had Colorado main tained her own authority few of the indescribable atrocities that have talk en place in this civil war could by any possibility have happened.
 Whatever crimes have been commit ted by mine-operators and strikers, the greatest crime has been committed by the State Of Colorado; for it's crime is a crime against free government.

TELLS Of THE
IMPORTANCE Of
Good ROADS
PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN RAIL
WAY COMPANY ADDRESSES
AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS AT
ATLANTA, GA.

Atlanta. Ga, Nov u.-President
Fairfax Harrison OF the Southern
Railway. WAS one of the speakers
before the American Road Congress
here today. He dwelt upon the i'm
puruucc of good roads to the grow
ing development of the south. He
said.
In the early days Of the good
roads movement, meeting such as
this in the south would properly
have devoted its time largely to
emphasizing the advantages of good
roads. but while educational cam
palgus to teach the value OF good
roads are no longer needed in the
south. the holding of the American
Road Congress i'm Atlanta will tend
60 stimulate the good roads move
mcnt in all of the southern states
As soon as the present business de
precision. growing out of the effect
of the European war on the market
for cotton, has passed away, as it
surely will, and when the onward
progress of the south has been re
sumed, one of the ways in which il
will be manifested VIII be in greater
activity in road building.
when road Improvement is taken
up in any community, it is import
ant that it be started right, and |
shall venture to speak to YOU briefly
on what think. is one OF the most
important matters that must be de
cided before actual work can be com

roads to be improved

OF the roads shall he improved at
once and which shall be left for the
