the young debaters. The question
set up for discussion, "Should the
Philippines be granted their Inde-
pendence?n was closely pursued
throughout in clear, terse English, and
with a logic based upon fact, figure
and history, as well as justice and ex-
pediency. The light shade of en-
barrassment attending the opening
sentences of the speakers disappeared
in their earnestness as the mists CT

pleasure to their forensic efforts. Let
them cultivate the habit of public

a finer requirement. From lack of its
possession, l may claim to say this
authoritatively and from experience.
Frequent applause attested the in

The judges decided that the little

this was no disparagement to the los

The lay service Sunday evening was
highly appreciated. Prof. Hanson,
the Lay Leader, makes a good pre-
siding officer; the singing was good;
the Scripture reading by Miss Myra
Keith would have done credit to one
in the habit of appearing before the
public; Grandma Thompson's prayer
was fervant and exceeding appro-
pirate. Judge Keith showed clearly
that the layman's functions are neces-
sary to a successful church, while DR..
Smith showed that a successful stew
ard must be an all round Christian,
and followed his address with a col
lection of about $13. 00-but instead of
his getting anything out of it, he had
to pay a dollar for the privilege. J. M.
Whitworth's address on the ideal pas
tor, made the pastor desire to be a
better pastor. Another such service
will occur soon.

Robert A. Anthony, for years con-
nected with the legal department Of
the Iron Mountain railroad, has ten
dered his resignation to take effect
January 1, 1915. 1t seems that the
legal business of the road had increas-
ed to such an extent that it took near
ly all his time to give it proper atten-
tion, thereby crowding out his other
law business; he felt his services here
worth more money than he was re-
ceiving and he accordingly asked for
a larger salary. His demand was re-
ported upon favorably by Judge ]. r.
Green, general attorney for the Iron
Mountain, who knows Judge Anthonys
ability as an attorney, but when the
papers reached Mr.. Bush, SO the story
goes, he turned the request down
with the notation that there would be
no increase in salaries during the re-
ownership. Judge Anthony's reslgnas
ton by telegraph, to take effect jan
nary list, followed. As o lawyer, r.
A. Anthony stands in the front ranks
not only in Southeast Missouri, but in
the state at large, and the able man
ner in which he handled the Standard
Oil cases Of whichhe was referee when
Hadley was attorney general gave him

ton as well.-The limo Jimplicute.
