CURRENT COMMENT
The Debators from Oxford.

The announcement that Oxford uni
versity is planning to send group O.
debators to the United States in Sept
ember will be received with wide salts
faction in this country. The trip will
be in one sense, a visit of courtesy il
return for the recent visit to England
of the debating team from Bates col
lege And ii is eminently fitting that
this small college in Maine, whose de,
baters have time and again humbled
those from larger and more famous
institutions, should be the first to PLAY
host to the representatives of Britain
historic university. In the field OF
competitive public speaking. Bates nc.
knowledges no superior and Oxford's
first debate will take place in Lewis
ton, Me. Later contests are scheduled
with Cornell, Harvard, Yale, and pos
sibly several other American univer-
stiles.
The announcement nevertheless will
bring with it measure of disappoiHt-
ment in the specific question chosen for
debate. An apparently authoritative re-
port from Lewiston states that the
topic for debate throughout the series
will be Resolved; That the United
States should at once Join the League
of Nations The Americans, we are
also informed. will uphold the mega
tive. and the British the positive side
of the question. But why, we may ask,
uncover spectral body that has long
since departed from the material
worldf Why. in an oratorical contest
between English and American col
legians, choose question upon which
the American people have already
passed final and definite Judgment, in a
never to be forgotten referendum Why
in brief, select a question whose dis
cussion is likely TO retard rather than
advance the cause Of Anglo American
friendship
One can think offhand of score, if
not more, of questions better suited
than this to put to the acid test the de-
batting abilities of young Englishmen
and Americans. There are plenty of
topics available that do not make il
incumbent upon our foreign visitors to
tender us advice from the platform as
10 the foreign policy that we should
pursue Boston Transcript.

A young fellow named Benny Leon,
ard is finding times anything but hard
Il is easy enough for young Leonard
to go out Of an evening and pick $40,
600 off the bushes and sometimes the
picking is even better But Leonard
has to have something besides ordi-
nary picking ability; he has to have
the punch, for, let it be stated, Benny
Leonard is prize ring pugilist and he
has gained the money picking stage by
reason Of delivering many hard and
decisive punch. He, among the light
weight contenders, is the king pin just
at the present time; and Leonard ap-
preciates the opportunity. With
marked industry and thrift young
Leonard is gathering in the golden
fruit and is storing it away for flu
ture reference. The prize fighting game
is enjoying unexpected prosperity
while other industries are going idle,
or nearly so. The young fellows who
happen to be the most proficient in the
game are reaping the harvest, largely
through the sport gone crazy public of
the country. II the public is tempo
rarily out Of its head. that is not to
prevent big business among the pro-
fcient. Benny Leonard already makes
the steel magnates cape with wonder.
It's better than striking oil or max
ing strike golf prospecting, Great is
