High School Debate
Last Friday evening: at the opera
house in this city occurred the
District High School debate between
Ravenna and Loup City, the question
for debate being “Resolved. That
disputes between labor and capital in
the railway business shall be sub
mitted to boards of arbitration
with compulsory powers.’’ The af
firmative was represented by Miss
Dorothy Dunkin and Messrs. Lewis
and Lain of the Ravenna high school;
the negative of the proposition by
Earl Fray, Christian Sorensen and
Clifford Rein of the Loup City high
school.
The opera house was crowded and
the different schools w ere enthusiastic
in support of their contestants in the
debate. The debate was opened by
Mr. Lewis of Ravenna for the affirm
ative. and after stating the question
used a very few words with which to
introduce an author to show that in
the author's opinion, a board of ar
bitration in such disputes was neces
sary. After reading an argument
from the author, he said a very few
w ords by way of introducing a second
author to show another point under
discussion, and so on through his
opening address. The second speaker.
Mr. Lain, quoted authority, present
ed a plan of compulsory arbitration
in such disputes which he read from
a manuscript, quoted more authority
and discussed briefly the points made
by Mr. Fray, the first speaker for the
negative. Miss Dunkin, the third
speaker for the affirmative, quoted
more authority and very briefly dis
cussed the points made by the first
•two speakers for the affirmative. As
we view it. none of the speakers for
the affirmative, on their ow n motion,
in their own language, in their own
English, in their own argument,
made any presentation of their case,
but made it entirely from readings,
from authors whom they contended
were authority upon the question.
The negative side, on the contrary,
debated the question. The first
speaker, Mr. Fray, showed conclusive
ly from his ow n argument, in his own
language and in a forceful and em
phatic way that a board of arbitration
with compulsory powers was undemo
cratic and against the principies and
ideas of a democratic form of govern
ment: that it was monarchial in form
and tyrannical in principle: that it
usurped ali the functions of law, the
legislative, executive and judicial
branches of a democratic form of
government and put all this power in
a compulsory board of arbitration
from which there was no appeal:
that this board was appointive and
not selective, which was also against
the principles of a democratic form
of government, being an appointive
board, not having to depend upon the
people forelection or report back to
the people their official acts: that
they would be more liable to be cor
rupt than the courts under the pres
ent system. Mr. Sorensen and Mr.
Rein, the second and third speakers
for the negative, certainly made the
most of their opportunity in discuss
ing this question in a brilliant, logical
and forceful argument. They showed
from their argument that, compulsory
arbitration was not necessary, that it
would conserve no good purpose: that
there was no demand for the same:
that organized labor did not demand
compulsory arbitration, but on the
contrary, had declared against it in
its recent conventions; that capital
did not demand it, but, an the con
trary, had declared against it: that
the public did not demand it for the
reason that no political platform, no
political school or cult, no political
convention had declared in favor of
the principle of compulsory arbitra
tion. They showed that railroad
labor and railroad capital were on the
best of terms and that railroad labor
organizations unite with railroad
capitalists in seeking high rates on
the railroads in order that capital
might get dividends upon their invest
ments and railroad labor lie well paid
for their service. They showed that
a compulsory board of arbitration
would tix the price that capital must
pay and labor receive, could compel
the capitalists to employ the laborers
at a certain price, and the laborer to
accept a certain wage which would be
destructive of the liberties of all par
ties concerned and instead of har
monizing the differences between the
railroad capitalist and railroad labor
er, w ould create feuds and dissentions.
They showed that it would be des
tructive of the right of private con
tract or the right of the parties to
mutually enter into and agree to any
contract that would be binding and
enforcible: that such a beard would
be official, would not be sselected by
the parties but would be appointed by
a power and a source entirely foreign
to the contracting parties and for
that reason would have more the
function of a court than of a board
of arbitration and would be uncon
stitutional They showed that a
compulsory board of arbitration could
not prevent strikes and lockouts, but
could only arbitrate differences after
the public had suffered and enforce
penalties for the disobedience -of the
orders of the board, the same as the
courts now enforce penalties for
crimes committed. They showed J
there had been practically no strikes
on railroads in the last fifteen years,
and for that reason there was no
demand for an experiment that might
be harmful in the extreme to. the
capitalist, to the laborer and putylie^
As far as the writer was ahte .to
judge, there was practically, no re^
fcuttal to the arguments made.hy.the
negative by any of the speakers on
the affirmative. The judges consist
ed of Prof. Martin of St. Paul, Pfof.t
Smith of Central City and -.Prof..
McGrew of Silver Creek, who,,wiLh
out giving their findings or the
manner in which they arrived at
their decision, without giving their
reasons, without giving any informa
tion to the public or to the contest
ants as to why they so decided, there
by advising and educating the debaters
showing their weaknesses, that they
might strengthen them, showing
their strength and wherein they
might reinforce it, but rendered
a decision in favor of the affirmative,
on the theory as we are informed,
that tiie debaters from Loup City
did nob quote authority or supposed
authority to sustain their argument.
It is our understanding of debate
that you cannot cite any taan's
opinion as an argument uniess that
man's opinion is a result of his own
experience or actual demonstration,
and even then when so quoted, the
burden is on the debater to defend
the position of the author from whom
he quotes, and it seems that the
decision of the judges in this case is
cruelly unjust.
In all matters affecting young
people, extreme caution and the high
est standard of justice should be
applied. An erroneous decision works
a lasting injury in each direction. To
award a verdict undeservedly works
an injury upon those receiving, in
that it gives them a wrong concep
tion of the worldly application of
justice and merit, and to deny it to
those who were justly entitled to it,
leaves in their young and impressive
minds a disappointment that blights
like the frost upon the bud. and
“spurns which patient merit of the
unworthy takes” destroys ideals of
the highest and establishes upon
their pedestals a bitterness and dis
appointment that leads them to be
lieve that after all, merit goes un
honored and unnoticed and that
virtue is its own reward. The griev
ous mistake which has been made
has worked an injury upon those just
entering upon the cares and duties of
young manhood and womanhood, has
given them wrong ideals, wrong con
ceptions and ideas that will take
much education, philosophy and ex
perience to correct.
