WORD FIGHT TO BE ABOUT
THE PHILIPPINES
Orpheum to be Scene of Lively
Forensic Contest Next Monday
Night When Morris and Crook
ston Schools Debate

The third annual debate between
the West Central School of Agricul-
ture in this city and the Northwest
School of Agriculture. of Crookston,
will be held at the Orpheum theatre
in this city next Monday night and
what promises to be the finest forensic
contest that has ever been heard in
Morris will take place. A small
admission fee will be charged to de-
fray expenses in bringing the Crook
ston students to Morris.
The question to be discussed is
"Resolved that the Philippine Islands
should be given their independence"
The Morris school will be represented
by Berger Johnson, Amanda Hanson
and Howard Hawkins, who will de-
fend the affirm tive side of the ques-
tion. Norris johnson, Chester Will
son and John Hast will debate for
Cro~kston and defend the negative
side of the question. Dean A. F.
Woods, of the College of Agriculture,
Hamline, will preside at the contest
and also make a short talk. There
will be special musical numbers and
fine program has been arranged.
The debate on Monday night is be-
ing watched with intense interest by
all the agricultural schools and school
debating teams over the state. Crook
ston is reputed to have one of the
strongest debating teams that has
ever represented the school or the
city, for the talent on the team have
appeared in several important debates.
Superintendent SevNg will come here
with them and he is confident of re-
versjng the order of previous contests
in which Morris captured the awards.
Howard Hawkins on the Morris team
is the only veteran with inter-scholas-
tic experience, and he will lead his
team. He has able support and the
friends of the Morris school are equal
lV confident the home debaters will
win.
Monday night Morris will also have
team at Crookston to debate the
same question but this team will have
the opposite SIDE of the question. Both
teams have been working energetically
for the past three months, and al
have entered the debates with a firm
DE- rmination to win. In past years
Morris has won every contest with
the Crookston school and they will, pu
forth every effort Monday night t.
uphold the reputation of their school

Brings Colonial Relic
Lantern Which Lighted Way
in Washington's Time is
- Property of Morris Man.

A lantern which may have shed it's
feeble rays to light the hurrying feet
of the ancestry of O. F. Tewksbury,
of this city, as they hastened to the
first continental congress from Yer.
mont one hundred and forty years
ago, or it may have lit the path of
some of the "Green Mountain Boys"
as they rallied about the standards of
Gen. Stark or Col. Wane and defeated
Gen. Baum at Bennington two years
later, was brought to Morris last
week by Mr.. Tewksbury. 1t was
handed down to him as a treasured
family heirloom upon his recent visit
to the old folks back home. A clear
family record dating back one hundred
and forty years takes account of the
lantern at that time. and Mr.. TeWks-
bury naturally treasures his prize very
highly.
The lantern is constructed after the
fashion of up-to-date lanterns in the
time of George Washington. 1t is
made of tin plate and instead of the
glass globe and kerosene receptacle of
its present.day brother. it has a tin
globe with holes and Sits through the
sides. On the bottom is a network
to hold a candle. the wick of which is
about the thickness of lead pencil.
| Less than one-third of the tin surface
covering the candle is devoted te
holes and slits and the light it shed:
is rrespondingly small. 1t is the
same kind of lantern which sign
aled to Paul Revere when by order
of Gen. Warren he took his memor.
able midnight ride through Charles
ton to Concord and Lexington, tt
warn the people of the approach o
Gen. Gage. The light was fastened il
the belfry of the church in Boston.
Mr.. Tewksbury has consented tt
display the lantern in the windows a
the Offices of the electro light com
pany in this city where it may b
found today. 1t will be lighted thi
] evening alongside an improved elec
tric lightsbulb and those who wish t.
get an idea of the great difference il
the lighting eonveniences in Washing
tons time aad the present, will find
visit to the historic relic very inter
esting. The rays from a lantern lik
that one aroused the whole countr!
and quickened the martial thread Of
two hemispheres.
