Should Intervene in Mexico" Dr.
w T. Little and Judge l. w. Ibbot-
son upheld the affirmative and A L.
Taylor and Judge ]. G. Schweigert
were on the negative. The guests
were the judges and at the end they
gave the decision to the negative
by the small margin of two votes.
All four of the men showed that
they had studied the question thoroly
from both angles. DIR. Little and A.
l.. Taylor opened the argument for
their respective sides and they did
so in a mastery manner. They pre-
pared the field for the heavy artillery

members very closely. Some thought
Senor Juarez looked great deal like
Charles w. Van Patten. while others
seemed positive that Senior Diazturez
was a counterpart of Blake Warner.
still others felt Senior Camello must
have known John W. Emmerson Mt
some time or other. All three possess
unusual musical ability with mouth
