ANNUAL INTELLECTUAL CONTEST The Manitowoc Sludeht Closed for His Side of Question. MADE A STRONG, FORCIBLE ARGUMENT Much Interest was Manifested in this City in this Forensic Effort—This Phil omathia Boys Proud. In the debate between the Philomathia and Athenae societies attched to the state university last week the former won. Manitowoc takes just pride in this achievement inasmuch as Paul Schuette, son of August Schuette, was on the winning side. The two societies meet annually and the Athenae had been successful in the two former contests. The Philomathia had the affirmative side and the Athenae the negative, The question was; ‘ Is the present concentration of vast aggregations of capital in the United States, in single, private manufacturing corporations, inimical to the public wel fare- ’ Interpretation—(a.) Single private manufacturing corporations shall not include those operating under a fran chise by municipal corporations, (b.) Manufacturing means the process or one of the processes of converting the raw material into the finished product.” Paul A. Schuette closed the debate for the affirmative. He said: ‘‘A combination of the agricultural classes is obviously impossible. As these great corporations more and more get control of the industries in which it is especially engaged, it finds himself having but one buyer for many of its raw materials. The comi>etitive buyer has disappeared, and it is a case of one buyer, one bid, one price for the farmer. At tho same time these and other com binations have raised to him the price of the necessaries of life, and have thus decreased the real wages of the farmer. •'lt is claimed that combinations in crease our export trade, but if the peo ple pay for it, the people and not the combinations should get the credit for it. If combinations can better increase our foreign trade than competing con cerns it is because they have the power of extorting such a high price from do mestic consumers that they cau sell very cheaply to foreigners. “We have an old maxim “The safety of the public is the supreme law’ Industrial corporations should be orga ized and managed ou sound business principles, and should not be allowed to encourage over capitalization and thus create the conditions of inflation which inevitably result in reaction and panic. When a period of depression comes, failure is the inevitable result of such a great excess of liabilities over assets. ” W. H. KALAHER HAS BEEN ADMITTED TO BAR TO PRACTICE LAW M. W. Kalaher, one of the teachers in the First ward school was admitted to the bar as a practicing attorney by Judge Kirwan last Saturday morning.

GILLET PROSECUTION WAS ABANDONED Charles C. Olsen Secures a Verdict against the City for $250 for Injuries fron Defective Sidwalk. The criminal end of the Circuit court calendar will lie finished today and the civil jury case* will be immediately taken up, and it is thought that the en tire number of cases will be disposed of within the next ten days. The court is now engaged on the case of John Spindler, who is accused of a grave charge against a six year old child, Anita Voland of Kiel. The defendant is a young man of 21 years and his al leged victim is so young that the Court mercifully decided that she be not c al led to testify. In the case of Robert Gillett charged with the burglary of the Rand & Roo mer hardware store the state abandoned tho prosecution believing it could not prove the defendant guilty. The case of the state was based on purely cir cumstancial evidence which the defense was able refute by the testimony of wit nesses who did not appear at the pre liminary examination. The case of Chas. C. Olsen who sued the city for injuries sustained through a defective sidewalk secured a verdict of $250 The trial occupied three days and a hard fight was made. Jurors in the case were: Stephen Bertler. Knud John son. Frank Smonjeski, Frank Havlinek, Chas. Berger, C. J. Holsen, Frank Ben hard. Chris Schoch, F. J. Hosier and Oust Auman.

WOOD CELEBRATES THE YEARS AS THEY PASS BY W. F. Nash, editor of the Two Rivers Chronicle, prints the following “S. A Wood, a well-known and highly es teemed resident of Manitowoc makes a practice celebrating his birthday an niversary by writing a letter on such occasions to a lady friend whose home is 'way down East' where he came from fifty or more years ago when he 'came West.' Frequently these letters are written in poetry and contain many quaint ideas and delightful literary tid bits. laist Wednesday was his Mist birthday and tho letter to the lady friend, in the East announcing the fact was written in the form of a poem which was somewhat speculative as regards that which awaits us all when death shall have ended our earthly career. He is decidedly agnostic in his views as regards a future state of ex istence and closes his letter as follows Who knows of these, which state hu ll inunf <)r whether either lie'll Inherit? Old questions answered yet hy none. And solvable hy death alone. Hence we Jog on In hope and dread. Clinging to life uncertain thread Assured of nothing, only that. Nobody knows "whore we are at."
