SOME COMMENT ON
COMING DEBATE;
Burlington Teams Are Ready for the
Meeting With keokuk on Friday
Evenipr

Burlington Teams Are Ready for the
Meeting With keokuk on Friday
! Evening.
Concerning the debate between Keo
kuk aand Burlington high schools this
coming Friday evening, The Burling-
ton Hawk-Eye says:
Oratory is now in the prime of it's
season at the high school. Both teams
have lately been preparing upon the
preparedness question that occupies
such an important place in the minds
Of the people. Burlington high school
was the winner Of the annual Iowa tri-
angular, defeating both Iowa City and
Ottumwa on the minimum wage ques-
ton. The Knox league debates are
now at hand. This association COM
high schools in Illinois and southeast
kind in the middle west. For this
reason the local teams have set their
minds upon the championship and
have developed such oratory as has
never been known in the high school
The question of preparedness admits
Of the best arguments on either side,
so 1t is to be no snap for either Of
the teams. The question stated Is
Resolved. That our present defense
program is inadequate for the needs
Of our nation" The league was for
tunate in having an opportunity to
choose such a question, since 1t is
subject that draws good crowds the
country over. The first of these de-
bates Is to be held on next Friday
evening at the high school, when the
negative team, composed of NJ. Con-
rad, r. Fuller and c. NJ. Tobin, meets
an affirmative team from Keokuk
This promises to be the hottest of any
debate ever held here.
The affirmative team debates a
negative one at Fairfield the same
evening. This team is composed of
Miss Helen Fleming, Warren Clark
and Harold Ofelt.
1t is needless to say that both teams
are confident of success and expect
the loyal support Of all Burlington citi-
zens.

The three present members of the
school board, and the present treas
urer were returned to Office yesterday
In the school election. The main con-
test Of the afternoon was that be-
tween Frank w. Davis and e. A.
French. for the office of treasurer.
Comfortable pluralities were given l..
A. Hamtll. w. B. w oolley and W. J.
Roberts, present board members, who
ran in the order named.
The school election was a big one
again. due to the campaign being
waged on treasurer, and also to the
fight which developed on one of the
board members in a small way. The
vote was 1900. only. about half Of
the voters remembered to vote on
the question as to whether or not
there should be a sale of the old
Garfield school site, but the vote was
overwhelmingly in favor Of this
proposition. The school returns were
not reached officially unit. after II
o'clock, although it was generally
conceded earlier in the evening that
the present board and treasurer were
returned.
