STATE St. LIGHTING
NEARS COMPLETION

The work of lighting State Street
between 30th and 36th Streets is rap
idly approaching completion as seen
by the beautiful concrete posts fifty
feet apart which have recently made
their appearance. On account of the
difficulty in securing lead cables, it is
difficult to predict the exact date when
work will be completed.
Elaborate plans are being made for
one of the biggest celebrations ever
staged in an outlying business section
when the lights are turned on. Four
bands have been engaged for a parade
in which city officials, mounted and
motorcycle police, societies, both fra
ternal and civic, and numerous floats
will participate. Stores will be dec
Grated between 30th and 36th Street
on State Street for the occasion, which
is truly to be one of the most impor-
tant and enthusiastic gatherings ever
held on the South Side
The business men who have labored
to bring this work to head deserve
the highest praise and every good
citizen will be asked to show his ap-
probation by being present at the cele-
bration on the night the lights arc
.urned on. Due notice through the
daily papers and the South Side jour
mails will be given of the exact date OF
this celebration. Watch for further
announcements and be prepared to
come and bring someone with you.

MORRIS BESTED
IN HOT DEBATE
WITH DARROW

Last Sunday afternoon at the Peo-
Piles Movement Hall, Clarence Dar-
row, Chicago lawyer (white), who
gained fame in the MacNamara case
and in his fight against the capitalistc
system, won over the great Edward
Morris. colored, also great lawyer
in debate over the proposed new llli-
nois constitution.
Mr. Morris is a member of the con-
stitutional convention which drafted
the new instrument. He also was
successful in revising and improving
upon the civil rights bill in the present
constitution.
Present Laws Sufficient
Darrow won the debate by picking
fallacies in the new revenue laws, the
unfairness of the new provision which
denies bail in many cases, and upon
the proposition that the present laws
under the constitution are sufficient if
they were enforced. The hall was
crowded to the overflow and the audi
ence was fully appreciatiyc while the
master minds deliberated. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that Morris was
shaded by his brilliant rival.
