i 1 WHERE ROLLS THE OREGON’ LEWIS AND CLARK. . . . A 5 PROGRESSIVE COUNTY f NEWSPAPER é ^ IN M A G A Z I N E F O R M T Ä Ì • Vol. 1. Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon, Thursday, April Pacific Wins The Fifth Annual Debate, between Pacific University and the Universi y of Oregon, was held in Eugene, April 22, resulting in a victory for Pacific. This is the fourth debate out of five that Pacific has won over the State University. The debate was closely contested throughout and, while not very enthusiastic, it was very interest ing to the audience. “Resolved that the history of Trade Unionism in the United States for the Past Twenty Years, has Shown a Gen eral Tendency Detrimental to the Best Interests of the Country.” . Messrs. Shively, Peters and Barnett upheld the affirmative for Pacific, and Messrs. McKinney, Rafferty and Jasper defended the negative for Oregon. Mr. Shively opened the debate for the affirmative, and clearly outlined and defined the position of the affirma tive. The three speakers would dis cuss the violation of rights. First the employees rights. Second, the non union man’s rights, and third, the rights of the public. He then dis cussed the employer’s rights, namely, th 2 rights of personal liberty and private property. These rights have been persistently violated by the trade urioas. Mr. McKinney then opened for the negative. The negative would try to prove a benefit to workmen, the em ployer, and the general public. He spoke at some length upon the necess ity of organization, and said that the unions have raised the wages and lessened the hours of work for the working class, and have promoted beneficial and sanitary legislation. Mr. Barnett then took up the line of argument for the affirmative, and showed by convincing authorities and undeniable statistics, that trade unions in following out their policy of self- aggrandizment, have violited the non union man’s rights of personal se curity. Mr. Rafferty continued for the nega tive, and maintained that the employ ers have been benefited by trade un ions, because they have promoted trade agreements, regulated competi tion, and made more efficient work men. Mr. Peters closed the constructive argument for the affirmative. He showed that trade unions have been harmful to the general public. 1st. economic loss; 2nd, disregarded public decency; 3rd, endangered public health; 4th, disrespect for law; Sth, hostility to the judiciary and 6th, h< stility to the militia. Mr. Jasper then spoke for the nega tive, and asserted that the public had been benefited 1st, by commercial supremacy; 2nd, promotion of arbi tration and conciliation and 3rd, by industrial peace. Mr. McKinney closed the debate for the negative, by summing up the argument for the negative. Mr. Shively then rebutted the points made by the negative, and closed the debate by carefully summing up the case of the affirmative. Pacific won by means of better team work, a clearer outlihe, and by the noticable superiority of the de livery of the speakers. Following are the names of the judges; Judge Sears, Portland; Dr. Wilson, Portland Acadamy; Ex-Gov. Geer, Salem. The boys were given a warm recep tion upon their return to this city, and it i3 safe to say that never before in in the history, of the institution has there been so keen an interest along debating lines. 1904. ter, Mrs. R.
