SILyERTON WINS DEBATE

The debate last evening between
the Telluride and the Silverton debat-
ers proved victory for the Silver
ton team. The Durango people who
we're present report a very interest
ing occasion.
The question, Resolved. That the
United States should restrict immi-
grafton by literacy test, was the
one that received the attention Of the
debaters. The Silverton debaters
were particularly strong and no
doubt voiced the sentiment of the
great majority of the American peo-
pie, even if they did not the Pres
ident, when they argued on the af-
firmative.
The Telluride debaters were also
well prepared but were unable to pre-
sent the arguments in the light that
would appeal to the average mind in
the discussion of this most important
question. The decision was unani-
nous for the affirmative.
There is no question about this
kind of work being the very best for
our young people and the school peo-
pie of these cities as well as the de-
baters deserve much credit for the
interest being aroused in the public
questions before our people for con
sideration.
