The Rose Dickie Debate in Milwaukee
by Koikit Gordon
At a brewers convention held recent
ly in Louisville our mayor David S
Rose challenged the national
tion party to send its best representa
tie to meet liim in public debate His
offer was accepted and Dr Samuel
Dickie president of Albion College
- A
case lor frouuition Arrangements
i ere made for a series of three debates
and this is a report of the tirst one
vhieh was held in Milwaukee Mar 26
THE PLACE CF THH DEB 1TE
The Hippodrome has a seating capa
city ol 4000 pfople it was packed to
ho doors aud hundreds were turned
away Tne whole city seemed aroused
istid in vain high priceH were eflered for
tickets From far and wide came re
vests for admission which had to le
jfjfused The tickets were distributed
tnrough the Chamber of Commerce and
Jha Merchants and Manufacturers as
s ciatioii and the audience was com-
possd largely of representative citizens
It was a magnificent assembly and the
speakers were given the moat respectful
xttention during the three solid houis
uf earnest discussion
THE QUfSTION DEBATED
The question as stated was Resolv
ed that prohibition as applied to the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
ieverages is right Dr Dickie had the
3ast half hour for rebuttal With the
Srst sentence This is not an orator
contest nor on the other hand is it
a ladies pw k tea to his closing word
Dr Dickie iuld the whole assembly in
Lis hand His arguments for prohibi
tion were based upon the character of
the liquor businessthe opinions of great
men the decision of our highest courts
the moral andeci nomic loss caused by
the liquor trallic His words were
scimitars that cut to the quick His
ribly true The ground was swept from
under the mayors feet by proof that
the liquor trafli is not reliable when it
is defending itself Ho quoted from the
Milwaukee Sentinel a report snt by the
Eose Marching Club during their recent
trip South It was dated Birmingham
eb So and purported to be an account
ol fearful violations of the prohibitory
Jaws witnessed by the imyor and his
iriends As a matter of fact the cub
did not arrive in Birmingham untl Feb
25 The article described a visit of the
zlub to the state legislature in session
Ihere But the legislature meets in
Montgomery and had adjourned a month
3sore the Milwaukee party went South
Fhe beer that made Milwaukee famous
Km3tiixie3 makes Milwaukeeans befud
ilsd The applause was tremendous
Dr Dickie did a daring thing when
5a presence of the brewers and their
tests of friends he made the charge
mat the liquor trnBis not only breeds
criminals but is itself a huge organized
csiminal In proof he produced letters
irom almost all the Milwaukee brewers
staling their willingness to sell beer to
aicn who intended to run blind pigs
BH
iu violation of state laws Coming right
on the heels of the brewers loud boast
ing about thoir respect for law and
their burning desire to see all laws en
forced the effect was dramatic and
eve whelming

for you to continue to 1 arn from hooks
simply because you have left school
Such a thought is a great mistake 0
portunities to learn come- to every one
They even break into jail for some of
the fellows in Jackson prison with oniy
half a chance and with a record to live

successfully to do good work after thei
get out
Have you ever thought of continuina

about art and most of all in its immedi
ate importance about the very work we
are doing every day and by which we
earn our living To know thofo things
makes life more interesting fuller and
richer in every way and it makes us
more valuable both to oui selves and to
our friends and neighbors Being more
valuable we can earn more monev
And this is just what thousands cf
young men and women are djing in the
public libraries all over the world

work thy are doing in it from the books
and magazines and papers in the library
They are doing it right here in Grand
Rapids Why not you

Seattle Exposition Literature
The great expositions of the past
have depended to a largo extent for
publicity on the printed matter of the
various railroads interested and while
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition to
be held at Seattle has been unusually
energetic in the publicity campaign car
ried on by itself the printed matter
which is being issued by the railroad
companies and will be placed in the
hands of the prospective traveler will
do as much if not more to advertise the
exposition than anything else
One of the latest exposition booklets
to be issued is that of the Burlington
route which is just eff the press It is
a handsome folder of forty pages print
ed in three colors profusely illustrated
It contains a large plat showing the
grounds and buildings iu detail a
sreet map of Seattle which in addi
tion to the usual features shows the
location of the exposition and the street I
car lines thereto and a very fine colored
map of the Puget Sound region which
will be particularly useful to those de
siring to make any of the many attrac
tive side trips on this most beautiful of
all the landlocked salt water seas of the
world
The folder contains a concise write-
regard to the rates and routes thereto
It also contains a largo amount of in
formation in regard to Pacific Coast
tours in general for the summer season
of 1909 and shows how the grand tour
of the Coast including the exposition
and California can best and most in
terestingly b9 made
Copies of this very useful publication
may be had on application to any of
the companys agents
