AUCUSTANA HAS
DEBATE FRIDAY
Government Ownership OF Rail-
roads viii Be Subject OF
Contest This Week.
MONMOUTH is THE OPPONENT
Affirmative Side Will Be Defended
On Home Floor and Negative
Out of Town.

Augustana's first big forensic
clash of the season takes place Fri
day night when Monmouth college
and the Lutheran school engage III
dual debate on the question of
government ownership of railroads.
Augustana will defend the affirm
alive side of the question on the
home floor while the Augustana
negative team will journey to
Monmouth debating the negative.
Robert Olmstead leads the Augie
team at the college chapel Friday
night. The other representative of
the local college will be Roy john
son and Luther Kron. Three years
experience in intercollegiate debat-
ing lend weight to the opinion that
Olmstead will be the strongest
speaker of the evening. Roy John
son, though a freshman, comes with
considerable forensic experience
from high school. Luther Kron
was in debating activities at the
school last year and has shown
good form in the preliminary prac-
tice debates. The team is consid-
cred as one of the strongest which
has yet represented Augustana on
the forensic platform and promises
to offer a model forensic specimen
at the clash Friday night against
Monmouth.

they will go into effect on July /.
In order to vote, each member must
be in attendance upon the last reg

no other votes can be counted.
From the fact that the new
rates are based upon the Modern
Woodmen's actual mortality exper
fence and applied at each present
member entry or original age, to-
gether with the fact that the high
est rate required from any member
who Joined prior TO July l, 1918,

The <urther statement was also
made that the limit of $3.50 for

been satisfactorily solved, that the
society's future financial safety is
fully assured, and the prediction is
made that when the plan is under

universally accepted as fair and
reasonable. 1t is said that the new
rates also conform to legal require

in the various states in which the
society is transacting business.

PRESIDENT WILL
NOT RESCIND II
DRY ACT AT ONCE
This Announcement l. Made as the
Constitutionality of Wartime Pro-
hibi,.ion is Being Argued in the
United States supreme Court.

While the supreme court at Wash
ington was hearing arguments part
of last week on the constitutiOnali-
" of the wartime prohibition act.
word went out from the White House
that President Wilson would not re-
scind the dry" act until peace for
mally had been declared.
This is expected to set at rest the
ever recurring rumors that the dry"
ban would be lifted by the President
irrespective of early ratification of
the treaty of Versailles. Failure OF
the Senate to act on the treaty at the
extraordinary session is regarded by
many administration officials as pre-
Guiding the ending of the technical
state Of war much before the consti-
tutional prohibition amendment be-
came effective next January 16.
Should such prove the case. the
only possibility of a wet" Christ
mas would be for the Supreme Court
to declare the wartime act unconsti-
t%utional.
A decision of the matter is not ex-
pected before Dec. s, when the court
will reconvene, after recess.
