'''C QUESTION
IS DEBATED
Local High School Loses to the
Sparta High by a Close Score
Visitors Had Advantage
(From Tuesdays daily.)

The people who attended the de-
bate at the high school Monday even
ing between Baraboo high school and
Sparta high school had reason to be
proud of the Baraboo debating team.
After an opening song by the Boys
glee club the two teams took their
places. The question was: Resolved,
that League of Nations to Guaran-
tee Permanent Peace is Practicable" "
The Baraboo team, Virgil Roick, Ed
ward Templin and Stanford Richard
son, supported the affirmative. The
Sparta team, composed of William
Fraser, Paul Meacham and Gerald Fos-
ter, upheld the negative.
Both teams presented their argu-
ments in a manner that showed ma
turity of thought exceptional in high
school debate work. The debate
gained interest both for the partici-
pants and for the audience from the
fact that the question discussed is Of
such immediate and vital Importance.
Mr.. Roick, Mr. Templin and Mr.,
Richardson spoke with a freedom and
forcefulness which showed both care
ful training and thorough preparation,
and reflected honor both to>themselves
and TO their coach, Miss Esther Rob
ers.
There was but one Judge. Mr.. Olson,
principal of the ReedSburg high
school. In his decision he favored the
negative by percentage Of So to 85,
but the Baraboo team had good de-
bate, and the citizens of Baraboo can
feel just and genuine pride in it. The
Sparta team had the advantage of
having previously debated the same
question with La Crosse and Tomah.
The negative team, composed OF
Robert Gollmar, Fertner Anderson
and Harlan Kelley, went to Sparta to
debate on the same question. AS yet
no details of that debate have been
received, other than that Sparta won
there also. However, all feel sure our
boys acquitted themselves creditab'y,
for those who have heard their re-
hearsals speak highly Of the quality
of the work done,

Though of noble blood, she, while

believed that freedom could be OBJ

that the condition of the people would
not be improved by the czar or the
mobiles, she spent her life in heroic ef-
forts to persuade the peasants that
their own betterment lay with them
and she vigorously sowed IN their
minds the seeds of revolution. LeaV-
ing father and mother. husband and
son. she devoted herself to the purpose
dear to her heart. For this she was
long in prison and was twice sent to
Siberia. After her first release there
from, she travelled extensively IN
America and made many warm friends
who did their utmost to relieve her
later prison life.
When the revolution rlpened, she,
with the other political prisoners, was
released; and the government sent

TELLS HOW The
CIRCUS COMES
TO new YORK
(Fwm Tuesdays daily.)

Here is a good piece of circus writ

Office by O. d. Brandenburg of AIadi-
son:
Somebody named Wilbuf-he never
got so far as his last name-dashed in
TO Newspaper Row yesterday after
noon arrayed in Palm Beach suit,
white shoes, Panama hat and fan
ming himself violently with sheaf of
pussywillows. Wilbur really was as
warm as he looked, because he was
steadily engaged in running into so
many editorial rooms and out again
that the sap had started And besides
he was so choked with oral emotion
alism that super humidity was inevi-
table.
'Ah, spring is coming!" cried every
body
Spring nothing! Where do you get
this stuff, spring. interrupted some
one else. Don't it say in the papers
that the weather tomorrow will be
colder and"
Spring coning?" broke in Wilbur
or Williams, or whatever the name
was Bill smiling derisively as he
spoke. Spring is coming, nothing;
spring is here! Listen"
We're listening. Prove it, Bill,

all colos-the colossus of all amuse-
ments, the combined Ring-the ag-
gregated Barnum and Ringing the

Somebody rushed forward with
chair and ice water.
For a time everybody famed Will
bur back to conference, alternating the
performance with brushing the mos
quitoes and flies away, which Wilbur
insisted the returning hot weather
had caused to swarm all about him.
He got up from the chair once, say
ing that he wished to rush out and
pick some dasies in City Hall Park,
but again he was dragged back into
a city room chair and calmed into
speech.
His excitement, he finally said, was
caused by the information with which
he was surcharged and which he now
was bringing TO Newspaper Row for
absolutely free distrubtion Pieced
together Bill's story had TO do with
the cold commercial. or trade, an
nouncement that Mr. Banun, Mr..
Bailey and the Messrs. Jack and Alf
Ringing and their little brother have
decided to forget all differences and
combine the whole Barnum Ringing
circus outfits into one riproaring ag-
gresation to be known as the Ring

And the colossus of all amusements.

the exact date of the arrival, and as
