THE FIFTH ANNUAL INTER-STATE DEBATE HELD IN THE OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT.
Two to One for Missouri
Last night the annual debate between the Missouri and Kansas State Universities was pulled off in the Bowersock Opera House. Important social events prevented the attendance of a very large crowd and there was an absence of the old "Rock Chalk!" but there was an outbreak of generous applause as the two teams appeared before the audience.
The Missouri table, partly concealed by the memorable chart, was decorated in the colors of the visitors, while the Kansas table on the opposite side was decorated in K. U. colors. Messrs J. L. Manard, Frank Birch and L. E. Bates sat at the former table while Messrs J. H. Tolan, J. C. Rankin and W. F. Mowry occupied positions at the latter. Prof. Blackmar acted chairman for the evening. The program was opened with a duet by Miss Stem and Mr. Eby who were very deservedly encored.
Prof. Blackmar then proposed the question for debate, "Resolved, That municipalities should own and operate plants for supplying light, water and surface transportation," and introduced Mr. Manard of Missouri, first speaker for the affirmative. He took the position that a municipality owning its own plants will have for its aim serving the best interests of its citizens while a private corporation has in view only its own pecuniary advantages. The municipality will make greater progress, not in the sense of those things which will necessarily increase the earning capacity of the plant, but in humanitarian inventions, such as preventing accidents, etc. The treatment of the employees will be improved.
Mr. Tolan of Kansas led for the negative. He advanced the idea that the comparison, made by the affirmative, between European and American cities was unjust. The strong difference between the cities is that American cities have universal sufferage while this does not prevail in the European cities where municipal ownership operates more or less extensively. He showed that the government was exceeding its proper sphere, likewise that municipal ownership would have socialistic tendency.
in by private corporations. As examples of cheapness in rate he cites Glasgow in Europe and Chicago in America. Mr. Birch manipulated the chart.
dency. Mr. Birch, second of the affirmative shows that municipalities can supply the commodities at a lower rate, first because they can produce it at less cost and second they do not have to maintain lobbyists, bribe politicians, etc., at present indulged
Mr. Rankin second of the negative showed that in any case where the rates may be lowered the city loses in taxes, sale of franchises, etc.; further that municipalities in Europe were supplying transportation at equal or even greater cost than American private lines to workmen, clerks, etc. who receive about half the pay of American workmen and clerks, also that the number of miles of service under private ownership and in cities of equal size was far greater than under municipal ownership and the service was much better. He showed also that in many cases in America the private companies were supplying light and water at less rates than municipalities.
Mr. Bates, third speaker for the affirmative, exposed the political corruption prevailing under the present system of private management. Political bosses see advantages in granting franchises to certain companies regardless of its ability to supply good service. The whole city council is often bought off by a corporation. Even the state legislature if necessity demands. Not only do the corporations bribe the city council but they enter elections and elect their own candidates who do not work to the interest of the citizens either in regulating these corporations or in keeping up good sanitary and police regulations. He also set forth the advantage of civil service in cities.
The rebuttal for the negative was conducted by Mr. Tolan. He vigorously attacked the chart used by Mr. Birch and made the Missouri boys wish they had left the thing at home. He met the
Mr. Mowry third speaker of the negative proved that a city incompetent to control a private corporation was incompetent to take charge of the entire business of the light, water and transportation. He showed the political disadvantage which will arise under municipal ownership, chief of which was the spoils system. He showed that the civil service system advocated by the affirmative is impossible for years to come. Mr. Mowry recieved applause several times during his speech.
The rebuttal for the affirmative was conducted by Mr. Manard. He left little doubt in the minds of the audience as to his identity as a Free Methodist minister. His extreme earnestness was the cause of much merriment. In summary he brought forth the points of the affirmative. Municipal ownership and operation will produce better service, it will make lower rates and it will lesson political corruption.
points very concisely and accurately. In summary he stated the points brought forth by the negative were: First, municipal ownership is contrary to the American idea of government; second, it is an unwise policy from standpoint of economy and efficiency of service; and third it would involve great political dangers.
The decision of nine judges was two to one in favor of the affirmative. It was a strong debate on both sides and the friends of the home team were proud of the work done by the opponents. There was much good feeling shown between the two teams. The strong point in favor of the lads from the east was their clearness. Each endeavored to make his argument plain and keep it directly before the minds of the audience.
The Judges were Mr Eugene Ware of Topeka,Mr. Silas Porter of Kansas City,and Judge Riggs of Lawrence.

ATHLETICS.
The baseball game which was played on McCook Field last Saturday between the 'Varsity and her one time formidable rival, Baker university, resulted in a clean victory for K. U.
McCampbell was a puzzle for the Bakerites for the first few innings but they soon gingered up and made the game interesting. The score was 10 to 6.
Gear's Kansas City Blues came to Lawrence last week to play the 'Varsity a couple of practice games. Tucker, Poorman and Outland were drafted into service in order to interest the Blues but despite the presence of these old heads the 'Varsity team played under a severe nervous strain. Even White and Curry lost their heads and did not play with their usual confidence. Sexton's fielding was the redeeming feature of the game. The Score was 16 to 2.
The Blues were expected to play another game with us Wednesday but could not do so on account of rain.
Clyde Allphin, who has been unable to play heretofore on account of his candidacy for County Attorney of his home county, will pitch today's game with the Kansas City Athletic Club.
The track men are crying for sprinters. What's wrong with K.U.? This is the first time we were without plenty of men who were willing to do their best on the track team; and this is the time when every man should put forth his best efforts. The team will meet Missouri here on May 17 and Nebraska at Lincoln May 24.
There is a man on the track team now who is a good example for K. U. athletes. He
Come out, every man that can sprint at all. Mulligan will be here about May 1, to coach the team, and if he is given material to choose from he can undoubtedly find a fast man to sustain the reputation of K.U.

FRATERNITY BASEBALL.
Representatives of the several fraternities have succeeded in perfecting a sort of interfraternity baseball league and have drawn up a set of rules governing the organization. Clyde Nichols is president, Will Murphy secretary, and Arthur Bradley treasurer of the league. The arrangement of the schedule, which has been the most difficult question to settle, is subject to the following rule which is stipulated to hold for three years including this year. The fraternity holding the championship is to play only the winner of all the other fraternity games, the schedule of lot. As a result of drawing this year the schedule is as follows: Sigma Chi vs. Alpha Tau; Phi Gam vs. Sigma Nu; Phi Delt vs. Phi Psi. The winners or these three games will play by lot and the final winner will play the Betas who won the championship last year.
