Luverne Praises Team

By vote of two to one by
the judges, both of the Luverne
high school debating teams lost
out in the semi-annuals for the
championship Of the second con-
gressional district held Monday
evening. The question under
discussion was "Shall the Uni
ted States Materially Increase
Her Army and Navy Arma-
ments?" The Redwood Falls
school affirmative team met the
Luverne negative team here,
and the Luverne affirmative de-
bated at Wells.
The Luverne-RedWood Falls
debate was held at the high
school assembly room and was
attended by a fair-sized audi
ence. Miss Fannie Martin, Miss
Ruth RodmaE and Ernest Da-
ley were the local schools rep
resentatives, and the Redwood
Falls team was composed Of
Andy and Leon Luscher and Max
Stevens. Supt. J. P. Jensen, Of
the Adrian schools, Supt. J. c..
Straley, Of the Window schools,
and Supt. J. C. Davies, Of the
St. James schools, were the
judges.
It is conceded by a majority
of those who heard the discus
sion, that the Redwood Falls
debaters were unquestionably
entitled to the honors, for while
the Luverne trio did we'll, their
opponents gave evidence of much
more experience and exceptional
ability. This is not surprising,
however, when it is understood
that two of the members Of the
Redwood Falls trio have been on
the team for the last three
years. They are Andy Luscher
and Max Stevens.-Rock Coun-
ty Herald.

MANITOBA'S PLIGHT
Winnipeg, Manitoba, October 8, 1916.

Conditions surrounding the hotels and houses Of
public accommodation in this province, as q result OF
prohibition, are deplorable and are giving to the peo-
pie of the province, without regard to their sentiments
on the question of prohibition, considerable concern.
The economic distress of the hotel trade IN Manitoba
under prohibition is strikingly illustrated by the clos
ing of a large number of the finest hostelries, and the
government is being besieged by requests for relief
of some kind for those hotels that still remain open.
a conference of The representatives of the govern
ment, commercial travellers associations, social service
council and the hotel mems league has been held to
see what can be done in the interest Of furnishing the
travelling public reasonable and suitable accommodate
ton. Of the $50 good hotels in the province, 70 Of
which were in the city of Winnipeg when prohibition
was adopted, more than one-half have already been
permanently closed and the proprietors Of those re-
naming open insist that they are losing money and
must ultimately suspend unless they receive govern
lnent assistance.
Various schemes have been submitted for relief.
Representatives Of the government have suggested 4
monopoly Of the tobacco business, pool room trade and
license to sell two per cent beer as one solution Of the
problem. The merchants association and business
mems league think a light wine and beer license
would be a solution, while i number Of men eminent
il public and financial life favor compensation. The
latter policy, though adopted in England. has net
been accepted in Canada.
The Rev. j. M. MacIean, Crown agent for en-
forcing prohibition, admits the situation is serious,
confesses that the general public is being seriously in
convenienced, and is frankly discussing the burdens
Of the hotel men with q view Of assisting them TO
keep open their places Of business.

THE SCHOOL BOARD. - Iwon-
der what the public school children
of Chicago think of their school
board. l wonder what parents can
expect of a school board controlled
by Jake Loeb, and the male and fe-
male members he leads around by
the nose. I have an idea what boys
and girls of Hyde Park high think of
Jake, but now that they've got his
measure what do they think Of the
members of the board who are so
feebIe-minded that they let Jake do
their thinking for them? 1t may be
that the Illinois Manufacturers
association and the newspapers that
have robbed the school children of
thousands of dollars through the in
famous midnight lease do Jake's
thinking for him. But his little lambs
on the board are worse off than that
when their thinking is done by Jake.
When Jake thinks for them he
doesn't pay them even the scant
courtesy of giving them a reason for
thinking what he tells them to think
They Just have to go on thinking
they are thinking, and wondering
why Jake doesn't let them in on their
second-handed thOughtless thinks.

NEW SCHEDULE SHOULD BE
ADOPTED BY RlNGL.NG ROAD

In as much as the Ringing road has
adopted a new system of transporta-
tion, it would be a good time for the
management of the road to adopt a
different policy toward the people
with whom they are dealing, and in
this connection, there could be no
greater boon to those who use the
Ringing road than that a new sched
ue be adopted for their passenger
service. A passenger schedule that
would be pleasing TO the citizens OF
Ardmore and to those in every town
served by the road, would be one that
called for a train leaving this city at
six thirty in the morning. returning
from Wilson, arriving in Ardmore at
nine O'Clock The next westward triI
to leave Ardmore at four o'clock in
the afternoon and returning from
Ringing, arriving mere at eight
O'Clock.
This would give people from Rims
ling. Wilson and other towns along
the railroad, an opportunity Of com
ing to this city Tor business or pleas
ure. of remaining nearly all day; il
would also give oil men an opportuni
ity Of leaving here early in the NOR
ming and a chance to return late in
the evening. This schedule would no;
be such a radical change. 1t would
seem that it could be adopted vita
prrfit to tha railroad cOmpan! aid the
chambers OF commerce OF all the
towns served. in cooperation with
the Ardmore business mems associs'
tion no doubt could convince the mant
agement OF the road tina; IL was the
proper course 20 pursue. At any rate
there is a strong probability that the
matter will be checked up to them in
very few days for their approval.

MAYOR Of
WILSON HAS
RESIGNED.
BEN MoRLEY WAS APPOINTED
TO SUCCEED RETIRING MAYOR.
WILSON is AGlTATlNG DIFFER
ENT FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

At a rOusing meeting of the city
council at Wilson Wednesday night.
many matters of vital Importance to
that city were discussed which event
ually led to Mayor Brimer rendering
his resignation 10 the city council,
which was by them accepted. and Ben
H. Mobley was unanimously chosen
to succeed him. Mr.. Mobley was a
member Of the city council before he
was elevated to the office Of mayor
The consensus of opinion Of the
council was that the retiring mayor
has had a hard row to hoe as is usu-
ally the case in all new towns. He
has been censured for some Of his
acts. but not more than many other
officials have been. But the retiring
mayor did many things for the ad-
vancement of the town.
There IS a strong sentiment in VIII
/ sor at the present time to abolish the
present system of goyernmen, and
adopt the city manager plan or
the commission form. This may be
done in the near future.
Mr.. Mobley has resided in this
county for many years and since the
town of Wilson was established. He
has taken an active part in all city
affairs and will make a good city of
fetal.
Wilson is taking on new life and
with live commercial club. a live
newspaper and business sdministra-
tion OF municipal affairs that hustling
little city is bound to grow.
The question OF paving is now the
foremost thing agltating the business
men OF Wilson and there is not the
slightest doubt but what work in this
direction will begin very soon.
