4HICH DEBATERS
DEFEATED HERE
BY FORT WAYNE
Locals Lose First Contest in
Four Years-Rail Owner
ship Subject of Debate.

Richmond High school debating
team was defeated Thursday night for
the first time in four years by the
Fort Wayne high school debating team
with a unanimous decision Of the
judges although with a small margin
Of less than two-thirds of a point.
The question considered was: RE
solved. That the Control of Railroads
Shall be Returned to Private Owner
ship' The Affirmative argument was
opened by Clarence Kerlin, first speak
er on the Richmond team and contin-
ued by Paul Lichtenfels, and William
Haberkern. Tho Affirmative argued
that government control of railroads
is inefficient financially from the point
Of service, that the motive behind gov
ernment control involves bad policies
that it is impractical, and that private
ownership solves the problem.
The negative argument was opened
by Bruce Lockbridge, and continued
by Walter Helmke, and Robert Pollock
who maintained that private owner
ship had failed when the severe test
came, that inefficiency of private own
ership had been proved, that the mo-
tive behind private ownership was
wrong because private ownership
would mean private profit while pub
lie utility means public service. The
negative argued that in consideration
of the abnormal times in which the
railroads were taken over by the gov
ernment they had been managed sufh-
ciently well to justify a further trial,
and plan for managing railroads un-
der government control was submit
ted by the debaters.
Forum Gives Banquet.
Neither argument was weak, both
teams having wide knowledge. of the
subject and presenting a good argu-
ment in a forceful way. Richmond
team was stronger in the rebuttal and
more at ease In extemporaneous speak.

A STATEMENT

There appeared paragraph on the
editorial page of last weeks Herald
that has been construed as slur on
a religious denomination, when moth
ing was further from the writer's
thought. The Herald's paragraph call
ed attention to a news story about the
theft of nine barrels of church wine
in New York City. In BE course of
his statements the Photographer made
use the phrase, "What is all this
prehistoric dope about the church ana
state?" Since the matter has been
called to the publishers attention he
can readily understand how state
ment of this sort might be construed
as slur upon the religious tenents
held sacred by many. 1t has always
been the policy of the Herald under
the present ownership at least, to
treat all religious denominations fair
ly, and to give them every co-opera-
ton possible for the upbuilding of the
community. The publisher sincerely
regrets that by inadvertdnce any
thing has appeared in any portion OF
the Herald. that could be construed
as slnr upon any religious denom-
ination.-A. M. w. >.
