Al I WINS AGAIN
Third Successive Victory In Inter
Society Debate Large and Enthus
iastic Audience The Decision a
Close One
The annual debate between tho Col
lege mens literary societies of Borea
last Friday night resulted for the
third successive time in a victory for
Alpha Zetathis time by a voto by
tho judges of two to one The con 1
test was exceedingly close the mark
ings of the judges showing that there
was only about olxper cent differ
ence between tho ranks of tho two con
testants This difference too was al I
most entirely duo loan advantage
of appearance delivery and English I
held by A Z thruout rather than to
any superior argument
Tho debate was listened to by ono
of tho largest and most enthusiastic
crowds over gathered for the occasion
The lower floor of tho Chapel was
filled and there was tho greatest
enthusiasm for tho speakers combined
with great good feeling Each speak
er as ho roso was greeted with loud
cheers and tho waving of bright color
ed banners by the partisans of his
society and was applauded In closing
not only by his friends but by his
generous opponents led each time by
tho opposing debaters themselves As
time debate progressed and tho close
ness of the contest was seen time ten
sion becamo great and when all had
finished and tho result was still in
doubt tho strain all over the house
could almost be seen Tho breaking I
of this strain in tho announcement of
A Zs victory ret uit fir its was to be
expected In a correspondingly vio
lent scene of enthusiasm
While tho debate was an exceeding
creditable performance to both con
testants there were as must always
be tho case several points which
presented themselves for criticism In
tho first place none of the speakers
mado enough effort to gain the sym
pathy of tho house several of the
speeches contained references which
only highly educated men could grasp
and there was thruout a failure to
get In touch with the moss of thA
hearers This was shown by the fact
that at no limo did any of tho speak
ers move tho audlenco out of its
attltudo of cold criticism thero was
no enthusiasm and no speaker receiv
ed that sympathetic Inspiration which
leads to rca oratory Also there was
no applause In tho middle of the
speechesand to tell the truth no
attempt was mado by tho speakers to
elicit It It was as If tho men bad
decided to appeal to tho judges only
and forgot that tho judges were to
glvo their decision on tho basis of
tho effect of tho speeches on the au
dience there assembled Greater sim
plicity in all tho speeches would have
strengthened them and greater adap
lion would havo given them weight
There was for Instance but ono flash
of wit humor or sarcasm In tho vhol
debate with the exception of turning
back on tho speaker an expression
he had himself used and tho one
sarcastic onslaught was borrowed ai
m st word for word from a leading
Congressman In other words the
debate was dull
Tho second point of criticism was
tho weakness of the rebutal on both
sides Many arguments were advanc
ed by each side which tho other made
really no attempt to answer and tho
result so fir as really convincing ally
hearer as to tho justice of the pro
position advanced resulted rather lu
confusing than In clarifying tho sit
uation Each sldo took a strong lino
of argument and carried It thru each
sldo let tho others argument stand
there There woro some attempts
mado by tho negative to meet a few
of the smaller points advanced but
neither sldo really attacked the main
position of its opponent Tho only
point whero they really met was
over the doflnatlon of tho word dan
ger and in this case tho effectiveness
of what might havo been a good de
bate was destroyed by tho affirmative
taking a position which all tho judges
agreed was untenable In fact it
seems likely that tho position of
the affirmative on this point lost tho
debateI
debateAaJdo
Aside from theso two points tho
debate was all that could be desired
Tho appearance of tho men tho de
livery and tho arguments advanced
all showed hard work careful pre
paration and long reading and study
Whllo tho highest point touched was
perhaps not so high as at somo pre
vious contests tho general average
was The best that has yet been pre
sented

DO IT NOW
lime
Most of us got crowded for tfme a little once In a while Things
seem to pile up some days especially hard things which we rather
hate to do any way and we kind of balk We think we dont quite
fuel up to the job and then there will always be plenty of time a little
laterprobably tomorrow when we will feel butter If there is any
mqn that reads this that has not got some such hard job that he has
been putting off for weeks and ia no nearer to getting done yet and
he will send in his name we will print itaud then his wife or other
boss will get after him mighty hard
This matter of putting off the hard jobs has an awful name
procrastination It also has another nameshorter and not so
handsome laziness They mean the name thing not getting there
The man who is afflicted with that habit never quite gets his work
done upand he never finds it any easier to do that hard job Us
ually he findf it hauler for be keeps dreading it more and more and
the freshness he might have had fa the first few days is all gone
Often thai job never gets done and the next hard one is missed too
and when a man has a little strip of jobs he didut do behind him he
is a failure Then when times get a little hard or anything happens
out he goes There is only one thing that will anvo him and that is
if tho boss has the procrastinating habit too And if this is the
case the boss will fail pretty roofso he will bo out of a job any Way
There is just one way to cure that habitdo the hard job
now You van and the longer you wait the harder it will be Do it
now That job busbeen waiting a long time it will be one step to
ward failure if you put it off even another day Suppose some one
should call in to close the account and find the job still not done Do
it now If there is any one maxim which is absolutely necessary to
success if there are any three words that will do more than all the
rest of the language to keep a man on the right randIf there are
any three words that are worth pasting in your hAt they are these
