 ALUMNI Some of the high TO DEBATE school alumni who Al SCHOOL. were prominent in
 school activities year or so past have been adyanc- ing the idea oI debating the present members ot the high school They think that 1t would be pleasant for Jhy members of the high school to meet someone that would give them hard fight The attempt to bring the series about will not take place until little later, as some of the alumni who might take part are ouJ of town now.
 Of course, this alumni bunch think that they are going to put it all over the present high school stu dents or they wouldn't have adyanc- ed the idea. Of course, it will be only those of the alumni who have been in college on the Outside who Will debate. Which fact makes their winning a cinch bet in their opinion
 The idea, however, is good one THE ALL The all absorbing ABSORBING topics of the day TOPICS. now with Fairbanks politics. Even the war has sunk into oblivion, for the reason that sporting and political enthusiasts met on the street will ask the first thing relative to the news from the Outside" And the telegraph editor of the new morning daily, sizing up his man, tells him just what he wants to know That is, he does 50 il he knows anything new in the way of Associated Press dispatch items.
 The war, however, still remains the chief topic of interest to some. And, of course the telegraph edi- tor also has to size up" the man who wants to know the war news provided again that he knows any. Most of those who care for war news, however, are directly or re- motely connected with the countries which are at war.
 Frank Gordon says that a newspa- per cannot be made without war news. Frank Wiseman is of the same opinion, but only when the Germans win. In fact, that might be said of all of the war enthusi- asts For there are very few of them who want to hear of tine other fellow winning
 Since the opening of the baseball season, however, Mr Wiseman has forgotten there ever was war For he is most enthusiastic baseball Ian, and a newspaper without the scores of the games played in the big leagues would be as nothing to him
 John Moe and few more kindred spirits like to get the political news, both national and otherwise. It is bread and butter to them, morning, noon and night But they are not the only ones who are interested in politics this fall, as that subject is quite as absorbing as baseball and war. The reason is, of course, the presidential election and the close race which is expected between Hughes and Wilson.
 It is understood that several good sized bets have been made-in even money. It is stated, however, that one prominent Democrat is weaken ing in his belief that Wilson will be elected. He already has sev- eral hundred dollars placed at even money, but when approached recent ly for another bet, and he can af ford to lose, he wanted odds of three to two. Which is taken by the betting Republicans as an evidence of his weakening.
