The affirmative side of the query, "Resolved that con gress pass a bill providing for the establishment of the Meter- Liter-Gram system in the Unit ed States within the next ten years," was proved by Max Con rad and Paul Holt, although the negative speakers, Elmer J. Line bach and Sydney Winslow pre sented strong argument against the adoption of the system. In the silent oration William Blair gave the society the mo tions, as we remember them, which John Webb Cannon, a famous Clay debater, used when he first started debating in the Clay society four years ago. This number was greatly en joyed by thesociety —Mr. Can non included, Websterians Debate Mellon Tax Measure A debate, a humorous reading, and much miscellaneous busi ness comprised the program of the Websterian society Friday tevening, April 4. The debate was on the subject "Resolved; that adoption of the Mellon tax bill would be for the best inter ests of the United States." Al though Sam Harris and Floyd Gray presented many good ar guments for the affirmative, their opponents, Joe Welborne and ILonnie Russell succeeded in refuting their argument and won the decision. A humorous reading, given by Elton Warrick, was greatly en joyed. Attendance was small due to the fact that several members of the society were absent on the baseball trip. Nereus Clarkson English was elected to the Guilfordian board to take the place of Fred C. Winn, who recently resigned.

Bailey Addresses (Continued from page 1) States has become "the melting pot" of the world with no more land or room. "It has reached the stage when we must fight for our rights," asserted the speaker. "Can we hold !the democratic idea in the 'melting pot'?" The speaker then discussed the materialism of the present, the mad striving for gold and power. He maintained that in the same heart there is not room for love of money and love of democracy, that the world is mad for money and the luxuries it brings. He presented the danger of the banking interests getting control of the govern ment. Mr. Bailey criticized the attitude of those who refuse to enter politics on account of its coruption, and said that the darker the situation the more obligation there is to serve. By recognizing the oil scandal which involves senators, cabinet officers and other officials, the! existence of gangs of political | heelers 111 the smallest political divisions, the speaker showed the deplorable conditions of to day. He emphasized moral in dignation and the proper use of the ballot as the best means of dealing with corrupt officials. As the requisite for effective citizenship he mentioned educa tion for democracy, patriotism, and the spirit of christian ser vice. Washington, Jefferson, Lin coln. Roosevelt, .Wilson were named the leaders of great social and political movements. The last great moevment, progressivism. is meeting the opposition of the political leaders. In conclusion Air. Bailey stat ed that the hope of \merica lay in the common man, and urged the students to follow the lead of the great interpreters of ser vice.
