CHICAGO WINS DEBATE CONTEST Ocinterritory." ca na1 tJt t\ JUJ*0 {ey fvr* Affirmative on Argument Naval Increase Defeats, Northwestern. for Sr-eoiat to The Journal. Chicago, April 14.The eighth final debate in the central debating league, took place at the Music hall before a large audience last night for a prize of $100. The question was on the sub stantial enlargement of the American navy, Chicago university having the af firmative and Northwestern the nega tive. Chicago argued that a large navy in sures peace and protects commerce, and has a tendency to avert the danger of war with Japan and Germany. North western cited the tendency of the times toward arbitration and the diminishing danger of war, also the strategic^ posi tion of America and the advantages for i defense growing out of the construction, of the. Panama canal. The decision was two to one in favor of .Chicago, the nudges being Professor Stambaugh of Iowa university, Judge Gillette of Indiana and Judge Deemer Qf jtowa. The old central debating league was discontinued and anew cen tral debating circuit formed, consisting only of the Universities of Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Illinois.

Journal Special Barrios. Chicago, April 14.Babies and gum chewing are to be banished from Dr. Emil G. Hirsch's congregations. Goaded to desperation by the liberties taken by the parents and young women of his flock, Dr. Hirsch last night closed his sermon at Temple Israel'.with an ap peal for reform. My colleague tells me I must preach at your service on Monday," he said. "If I do, let me beg of youplease to leave the babies at home. I have no objection to children. They are all right in their place. But I did not get my theological instruction in & nursery and I have the conceit to believe that the children do not understand me. I aspire io be a preacher for men andsixty strong-minded women. "And there is one other thing. As I 'look about my congregation here I am reminded always of a herd of cows chewing their cuds and ruminating. Now, gum-ohewing is a thing not to be done on holidays, and it is a thing not to be done in the synagogue." "Resurrection" was the theme of Dr. Hirsch's sermon. In part he said: "In every orthodox Christian pulpit on Sunday will be told again the story of the rising of Christ from $he dead, and on that will be based the doctrine of the resurrection. I do not wish to rob anyone of his belief, if that belief satisfies him. But there is a higher doctrine of resurrectionone that de clares that ultimately all humanity will rise to a newer, higher life. When humanity shall be free from every form of slavery that will be the glad day of humanity's resurrection." DR. V. B, POOL IS DEAD Prominent for Years in Reform Politics at Mason City.

Conservative twin city bankers ar% not likely to favor ^the establishment of a big central, note-issuihg bank in New York city.

"In Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress you may recall the description of the man with the muck rake, the man who could look no way but downward, with the muck rake in his hand who was offered a celestial crown for his muck rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor. "In 'Pilgrim's Progress' the manit with the muckrake is set forth as the example of him whose vision is fixed on carnal instead of on spiritual things. Yet he also typifies the man who in this life consistently refuses to see aught that is lofty, and fixes his eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing. "Now, it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is -vile and debasing. There is nlth on the floor, and it must be scraped up with the muckrake and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed. But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muckrake, speedily becomes, not a help to society, not an incitement to good, but ohe or the most potent forces for evil.

Gross and reckless assaults construed* into an expression, of gym-' on character, whether on the stump or pathy"f "At the risk of repetition let me say again that my plea is, not for im munity to, but for the most unspar ing exposure of the politician who betrays his trust, of the big business men who makes or spends his fortune in illegitimate or corrupt ways. There should be a resolute effort to hunt every such man out of the position he has disgraced. Expose the crime, and hunt down the criminal but remember that even in the case of crime, if it is at tacked in sensational, lurid and un truthful fashion, the attack may d more damage to the public mind than the crime itself. "It is because I feel that there should be no rest in the endless war against the forces of evil that I ask that the war be conducted with sanity as well as with resolution. The mena'tax with the muck-rakes are often indis pensable to the wellbeing of society but only if they know when to stop raking the muck and to look upward to the celestial crown above them, to the crown or worthy endeavor. There are beautiful things above and round about them: and if they gradually grow to feel that the whole world t nothing but muck, their power of use fulness is gone. If the whole picture is painted black there remains no hue whereby to single out the rascals for distinction from their fellows. "Such painting finally induces a kind of moral color-blindness, and people affected by it come to the conclusion that no man is really black, and no man really white, but they are all gray. In other words, they neither believe in the truth of the attack nor in the honesty of the man who is attacked they grow as suspicious of the accusa tion as of the offense it becomes well nigh hopeless to stir them either to wrath against wrongdoing or to en thusiasm for what is right and such a mental "attitude in the public gives hope to every knave and is the despair of honest men. "To assail the great and admitted evils of our political and industrial life with such crude and sweeping gen eralizations as to include decent men in the general condemnation means the searing of the public Conscience. There results a general attitude either of cynical belief in and indifference to public corruption or else of a distrust ful inability to discriminate between the good and the bad. Either attitude is fraught with untold damage to the country as a whole. The fool who has not sense to discriminate what is good and What is bad'(ibetween well-nig ha dangerous as the man who does disctrinv inate and yet chooses- the bad. "There is nothing more distressing to every good patriot, to every good American, than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishon esty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition. "There is any amount of good in the world, and there never was a time when loftier and more disinterested work for the betterment of mankind was being done than now. The forces that tend for evil are great and terrible, but the forces of truth and love and courage and honesty and generosity and sym^ pathy are also stronger than ever be fore. "It is a foolish and timid, no less than a wicked thing, to blink the fact that the forces of evil are strong, but is even worse to fail to take into ac count the strength of the forces that tell for good. "Hysterical sensationalism is the very poorest weapon wherewith to fight for lasting righteousness. The men who with stern sobriety and truth assail the many evils of our time, whether in the public press, or in -magazines, or in books, are the leaders and allies of all engaged in the work for social and political betterment. But if they give good reason for distrust -of what they say, if they chill the ardor of those who demand truth as a primary virtue, they thereby betray the good cause, and play into the hands of the very men against whom they are nominally at war. "In his Ecclesiastical Polity that fine old Elizabethan divine, Bishop Hooker, wrote: 'He that goeth about to persuade a multitude that they are not so well governed as they ought to be, shall never want attentive and fa vorable hearers because they know the* manifold defects whereunto every kind of regimen is subject, but the secret lets and difficulties, which in public proceedings are innumerable and inevitable, they have not ordina rily the judgment to consider.'

"It is a prime necessity that if the present unrest is to result in permanent good the emotion shall be translated into action, and that the action shall be marked Iby honesty, sanity and self restraint. There is mighty little good in a mere spasm of reform. The re form that counts is that which comes thru steady, continuous growth violent emotionalism leads to exhaustion. "It is important to this people to grapple with the problems connected with the amassing of enormous for tunes, and the use of those fortunes, both Corporate and individual, in busi ness. We should discriminate in the Sharpest way between fortunes well won and fortunes ill won between those gained as an accident to perform ing great services to the community as a whole, and those gained in evil fash ion by Keeping just within the limits of mere law honesty. Of course no amount of charity in spending such fortunes in any way compensates for misconduct in making them. "As a matter of personal conviction, and without pretending to discuss the details Or formulate the system, I feel that we shall ultimately nave to con sider the adoption of some such scheme as that of a progressive tax on all fortunes, beyond a certain amount, either given in life or devised or be-i queathed upon death to any individual) so framed as to put it out of i the power of the owner of one of these enormous fortunes to hand on more than a certain amount to any one indi vidual the tax, of course, to be im posed by the national and not the state government. Such taxation should, of course, be aimed merely at the in heritance or transmission in their en tirety of those fortunes swollen be yond all healthy limits. Again, the national government must in some form exercise supervis ion over corporations engaged in inter state businessand all large corpora tions, are engaged in interstate busi nesswhether oy license or otherwise,' so as to permit us to deal with thej far-reaching evils of over-capitaliza tion. "This year we are making a begin ning in the direction of a serious effort to settle some of these economic prob lems by the railway-rate legislation. Such legislation, if so framed, as I am sure it will be, as to secure definite and tangible results, will amount to something-.in itself and it will amount to a great deal more in so far as it is taken as a first step in the direction of a policy of superintendence and control over corporate wealth engaged in interstate commerce, this superin tendence and control not to be exer cised in a spirit of malevolence toward the men who have created the wealth, but with the firm purpose both to do justice to them and to see that they in their turn do justice to the public at large. Honesty First Bequistte. "The first requisite in the public servants who are to deal in this shape with corporations, whether as legisla tors-or as executives, is honesty. This honesty can be no respector of persons. There can be no such thing as unilat eral honesty. The danger is not really from corrupt corporations it springs from the corruptionitself, whejmer exer cised for or against corporations. "The eighth commandment reads, 'Thou shalt not'steal.' It does not read, 'Thou shalt not steal from the rich man.' *It does^uot read 'Thou shalt not steal from the poor man.' It reads simply and plainly, 'Thou shalt not steal.' "No good whatever wijl come from that warped and mock morality which denounces the- misdeeds of men of wealth and forgets the misdeeds prac ticed at their expense which denounces bribery but blinds itself to blackmail which foams with rage if a corporation fe!* rage if a corporation secures favors by improper methods, and merely leers with hideous mirth if the corporation is itself wronged. "The only public .servant who can be trusted honestly to protect the rights of the public against the misdeed of a corporation is that public man who will just as surely protect the corporation itself from wrongfuL aggression. If a public man is willing to yield to popu lar clamor and do wrong to the men of wealth or to rich corporations, it may be set down as certain that if the op portunity comes he will secretly and furtively do wrong to the public in the interest of a corporation. But, in addition to honestv, we need sanity. No honesty will make a public man useful if that man is timid or fool ish, if he is a hotheaded zealot or an impracticable visionary. As we strive for reform we find that it is not all merelv the case of a long1 uphillat pull On the contrary, there is almost as much of breeching work as of collar work to depend only on traces means .that there will soon oe a runaway and an upset. "The men of wealth who today are trying to prevent the regulation and control of their business in the interest of the public by the proper government authorities will not succeed, in my judgment, in checking the progress or the movement. Bnt if they did succeed they would find that they had sown tho wind and would surely reap the whirl wind, for they would ultimately pro voke the violent excesses which accom pany a reform coming by convulsion in stead of by steady and natural growth Wild Preachers Dangerous. "On the other handj. thejwild preach ers of unrest ancTdlseontent, the wild agitators against the- entire existing order, the men- who act crookedly, whether because of sinister design or from mere puzzle^headedness, the men who preach destruction without propos ing any substitute for what they intend to destroy, or who propose a Substitute which would be far worse than the exSeat isting evilaall these men are the most dangerous opponents of rea reform. J*&*y their-w,l they will lead the people into a deeper pit than any into which they could fall under the present system. If they fail to get their way they ^wiETstill do incalculable harm by provoking the kind of reaction, which in its revolt against the sense less evil of their, teaching, would en-' throne more securely than ever the very evils which their- misguided followers believe they are attacking. "More important than aught else is the development of the broadest sym pathy of man'fbr man. The welfare of the wageworker, the welfare of the till er of the sell, upon these depend the welfare of the entire country their good is not to be sought in pulling down others but their good must be the prime object of all our statesmanship. "Materially we must strive to se cure a broader economic opportunity for all men, so that each shall have a bet ter chance to show the stuff of which he is made. Spiritually and ethically we must strive to bring, about clean 3iving and right thinking. "We appreciate that the things of the body are important but we appreciate also that the things of the soul are* immeasurably more-im portant: /'The foundation stone of national life is, and ever must be, the high indi vidual character of the average citi- zen/" WW: Thirty years ago Ir made my first public^( appearance at the^f Centennial Exposition^ at Philadelphia.
