INTERSTATE ORATORICAL
CONTEST

The divisional contest Of the Inter-
state Oratorical Association was held
at Lawrence College, Appleton, Wis,
on April 8. Mr.. Keller, representing
Kentucky, had rather hard luck and
in the final judgment received only
fifth place out Of seven contestants.
The contest was very close and the
contestants were the best men from
the following states: Kentucky, Wis
consin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Min
nesota and Illinois. These men were
all seniors in their colleges except
ing Mr.. Keller, who is a sophomore.
The orators who placed were Vic
tor F.. Werner Of Lawrence College,
Wis, subject of his grafton, "The In
ternational Mind" Mr.. Gorton of
Albion College, Mich, was second and
Mr.. Gould of Wabash College, Ind,
third.
Mr.. Keller reported an excellent
trip, and is very high in his praise
of Lawrence College hospitality. He
was entertained by Phi Kappa Tau
Fraternity. He and Mr.. Dunbar,
Ohio's representative, were invited to
speak in chapel on Friday morning,
for which a special chapel was called.
We will all have to hand it to Mr..
Keller for having fine oration, as
he alone represented about one hun
dred men in Kentucky colleges. He
had the pep behind his grafton, also
or he would not have gone as far as
he did, for We must remember it was

Morally and spiritually, Europe is
staggering toward an abyss. Society
is virtually disrupted. Ideals have
been trampled under barbarian feet.
The United States and Britain and
France stand for the order that is i'm
paired, the moral values which have
been belttled, the idealism which
would give wholesomeness and beauty
to life, the sanctions lacking which
Europe must go to pieces. Enemies
from without and from within would
part the two nations upon which, in
a special degree, the hope of the
world rests; but the urgent need, the
natural affinity, the mutual sympathies
Of the two great peoples will make
for the binding cement which, in vital
matters, will make the two one. As
Sir Phillip Gibbs says, Whatever
else may happen in this world, we
two people must stand together

DEBATE WON by MADISON
HIGH SCHOOL.

The Model High school went down
in defeat last Thursday night at the
hands Of the Madison High school.
The contest was a debate held in the
Normal chapel between the two
schools. Compulsory arbitration of
labor disputes" was the subject de-
bated. Model had the affirmative and
Madison the negative. Madison. ac-
cording to the decision Of the judges,
excelled in every department of the
debate. They showed much superior
preparation and their addresses were
much more finished, the judges said.
Harold Gabby is gifted speaker
who is perfectly at home on the
stage. His speech was filled with
good argument and his rebuttal al
together escaped the average. Miss
Edna Mullanix made fine showing
by her mastery arguments and her
clear and distinct delivery. She also
did well in rebuttal. Lafon Wilson
closed for the negative. He showed
readiness TO answer the arguments Of
the opposing side. His rebuttal was
really characteristic of debate be-
tween much older heads.

cision TO the negative. The judges

In a recent note in reply to one
from Germany, Secretary Hughes
makes plain that the United States
will not encourage any effort to es-
cape the payment of reparation.
The note does not, however, give
much help in regard to what that
reparation shall be. It does not di-

France and England have decided to
ask. This note is, however, probably
only the beginning of exchange Of

objection to English exploitation Of
oil resources in her new mandato-

the United States lacking in consist

called to the fact that the United

seventy percent Of all the oil supply
of the world and twelve percent in
other countries neighboring. More
over, the resources of the Philippines
are reserved for the United States.
Our country takes the ground that
her contribution 10 the war was ef-
