The contest was with the Pierian girls, and took place in col lege chapel Saturday evening. The question was "Resolved that the' United States government should own and control . the railroads of the United States" and the Sorosis team had the negative. The de bateis were, Pierians, Misses Ed na Smith, Minnie Phillips and Alice Edwards; Sorosis, Misses , Agnes Sweek, Elizabeth Snipes and Belle Bonney. The judges were Super intendent Denman, Prof. Edwards, and Principal Holmes of the public schools, and their decision was unanimous. J The affirmative urged tha,t the present strides towards consolida tion is ominous. Ten men con trol practically at the present time a great per cent - of the railroad mileage of the country, including all the transcontinental trunk lines. How long will it be until the direc tion of all these vast systems will be by a single man. The point was also urged that the' : railroads are in effect a 1 public highway, and that it is both natural and practical for the government to own. and operate them.' ; ' The negative urged that the op eration privately owned and pri vately controlled roads of the Unit ed States offer the most ' splendid service, the lowest rates, and pay the highest wages of any roads in the world, especially contrasted with the government owned roads of Europe. Government ownership, they said, would involve an ex penditure for purchase of 12 bil lions of dollars and would make government office holders of 1,400, 000 railroad officials and employes, which in turn would throw such a mass of office holders on the gov ernment pay rolls that with those already on the list the government, would in effect, become a govern ment of the office holders, by the office holders and . for the office holders. The negative ' debaters maintained that the government already has power, in decisions of the supreme court and interstate commerce commission to control the railroads, and suggested that if hav mghis.BQwernow. the. govern ment does not control the roads will it control them any better after it has paid twelve thousand million dollars tor them, The debate on both sides was ex cellent, and reflected much credit on both teams. The next debate in the series takes place in college chapel next Friday night. Feat ures of the evening was a vocal se lo by Miss Juliet Cooper and ,a piano solo by Miss Lillian Ranney , Hay For Sale. Vetch and alfalfa, best cow hay in the world. Ind Tel 155. I. Ij. Jirooks.
