PRELIMINARY CONTEST. Astounding Victory for the Laws Win all Five Places. The second college preliminary for choosing debaters for the State Contest was held Tuesday evening. The question discussed was the same one which will be used in the Kansas-Missouri debate; Resolved, That municipalities should own and operate their own waterworks, lighting and surface transportation systems. The fact that the Laws won all the honor places is almost unprecedented in the history of oratory at K. U. Tolan, Macory, Martin, Rankin, and Brobst, were the successful contestants. The debate was a strong one, characterized by careful thought and sound logic. It is a noticeable fact, however, that the men who won were the ones who appeared the best upon the stage. Debating is akin to oratory, and a man must first convince his audience that he is master of himself and his subject before he can prove his argument. Glasgow was used for and against. The affirmative showed that the city had tried municipal ownership and that it had proved a success. The negative proved on the other hand that, although the trial was a success, yet the systems were those in use many years ago, and that a too suspicious public prevented the officials from using sufficient funds to make necessary improvements. The debate passed off quickly and successively with Mr. Cassity presiding. As usual, the professors were conspicuous because of their non-attendance. Very few had sufficient interest in oratory to attend. Each society, however, had its quota of energy, etc., "rooters." Tolan and Mowry who have a right to go to Nebraska, prefer to stay here and compete with Missouri. Since Columbia intends to send its strongest representatives on this trip, they consider it more honor to conquer them than to go to Nebraska. Tangenan and Cline will go to Colorado April 11th; McMath, Martin and Rankin go to Nebraska, April 25; Tolan, Mowry and Brobst will stay here to compete with Missouri April 11th. m m m m Toronto Convention. On Monday Feb. 26, 1002 at 5:00 p.m. the delegates from K. U. left Lawrence for Toronto, Canada, to attend the fourth International Convention of Student volunteers. The delegation was composd of Misses Ewing, Shields, Oldroyd, Bennett and Messrs. Moodie, Meyers, Pringle, Williamson, Black and Nutting. It had been previously arranged for the delegations from all over the State to meet at Kansas City. From this rendezvous a special car attached to the regular train, bore the party to Chicago. From this point a special train of twelve coaches was run to Toronto via Detroit Michigan. Destination was reached at ten o'clock Wednesday morning and upon arrival every one hastened to the Convention headquarters to be assigned to their respective places of entertainment. In place of the severely cold weather and four foot snows which all the delegates from the South had expected, the ground was bare and the temperature above freezing. The first meeting was held Wednesday afternoon in Massey Hall which has a seating capacity of four thousand. In the evening the mass of humanity that came to hear the noted speakers could not be seated in Massey Hall so over-flow meetings had to be held in the Metro- - IF YOU WANT THE BEST SELECTIONS IN * Dry Goods and Carpets COME TO INNES.

Afternoon meetings were held in the various churches over the city. The hall was always packed and many had to be turned away. The delegates numbering about three thousand were a motley crowd and represented many hundred educational institutions from all over the United States and Canada. This convention just successfully closed was the largest student gathering ever held in the history of the world. The officers of the movement were extremely fortunate in securing Toronto as place of convening. Toronto, whose population is about two hundred and fifty thousand is the capital of the province of Ontario. Situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario, in the midst of a scenic environment, it is in every respect a beautiful city though winter by no means displays this beauty most effectively. The people of Toronto are very hospitable and showed themselves to be royal entertainers. Toronto is sometimes called the city of Colleges, and the term is in no way a nickname. Besides the University which is one of the largest in the Dominion, there are the University College McMaster College, Victoria College, Upper Canada College, St. Michael's College, Wycliff College, Truax College, the Normal, and Trinity University all harbored within the city bounds. Nearly all these institutions are located near the Parliament buildings and it is claimed that nowhere in America in so small a radius are there to be found so many institutions of learning. The visitor is impressed by the care taken of the grounds around these edifices. Each building has an ample campus, well laid walks, shaded and graveled drives. The care of the lawns seem to be the citys pride. Besides the colleges, other sights command equal attention and interest. The Parliarment with its massive buildings and copious grounds, were of absorbing interest and many of the delegates availed themselves of witnessing the process of Canadian lawmaking. The city hall erected at a cost of two million dollars, St Michoel's and St. James Cathedrals were objects of admiration by the visiting students We want every lady in town who cares for much style for little money to see this stylish lot of Wearing Apparel.

The last meeting of the convention was held Sunday evening. At its close, a call was made for those volunteers to arise who expected to enter upon their missionary career in the foreign field within the next year. One hundred thirty-five stood up. Many were called upon to state when they expected to take up their life work and why. It was an inspiring sight and a most impressive climax with which to close the convention. The next morning, the special train started west going by the way of Niagara Falls. Four hours were allotted the delegates to visit natures grandest waterfall, then on west to Chicago. A days delay in this city was necessitated by the schedule. The time was employed in further sightseeing. The Art Institute, Field museum, and University came in for inspection.
