A free and self croverning- people establishing- a government will adopt a written constitution changeable only by themselves and provide a supreme ;ourt to interpret it as we have done. Ihe English constitution can be changed by a small per cent of the Parliament without consul t- ing the people. The American theory is that the people are the people are the final authority and kat all rights not of a national haracter are reserved to them or to the states. Ihe English people have only so many rights as the entral government has given them. jEvery reform in England for the ast century has been a step toward ur system. Mr. Wedding-ton closed for the rst round on the affirmative. He kid in substance: la the American system of gov rntnent, the will of the people is Ihvvarted when the Senate and the ouse of Representatives are of op- wstte parties, which is often the use. Both are thoroughly parti- an. un account or their cnarac- :er, wnat is the vvul of tne one is ften opposed to the will of the ither. In England there is no pos- bility of the will of the people ieinsr stifled by the Houses. The ill of the American people may e defeated by the veto power of the President, thus giving one man lie arbitrary power to kill a meas ure that eveu both houses have passed. Again-our Supreme Court an thwart the will of the people ly declaring a law unconstitution- He told of the evils of the com mittee system as it is employed in ur Congress. This system often events the will of the people rom finding its proper expression. England committees occupy an mimportant part and no secrecy in fie conduct of the nation's affairs possible. The intellectual and administra te ability of the statesmen of ngland and of America was next ppared. In this country men e limited to their State and dis ict for representatives, although pere be no really able man in their ction, but in England the strong- rtman in the whole country is gTible to election. By other com- risons he sought to bring out the 'ints and closed amid much ap- ause. Mr. Swift made the last speech r Carolina and closed for the negf- we. He. compared the present pited States and English sys- psof government with that of an folly free and self-governing peo- He defined what is a free and 'f-governing people, and said t such a people will have a gov- tment which gives po.wer of self- ernment, individual liberty, mh protects their rights and has guards to render it permanent freedom demands that all be Jally free. There shall be no ti ties of nobility, equai rights tn all janci special privileges to none. TIm English Government is found ed on privilege, the three estates, Royalty. Nobility and the People. A free and self-governing people will establish a written constitu tion. It furnishes a plan of admin istration and is the only means whereby any system of government can be preserved to the people as they have adopted it and it furnish es to the citizens a guarantee that their rights shall not be violated. Our system meets all of these de mands, but in England the Parlia ment is all-powerful and can over throw the whole system of govern ment. A just system of Representation demands that each citizen shall have equal voice with his fellow citizens in choosing their law makers. Both of our houses are either directly or indirectly repre sentatives of our people, while neither house of the English Par liament is representative. As an executive must play an important part in any government, the people will desire to have the executive under their suffrage. The English system breaks down the republican system by giving the ministry pow er to make treaties and declare war. By other arguments he sought to strengthen his side and took his seat amid much applause. On rejoinder only one speaker was allowed and as that speaker fell to the defenders of the affirma- tiee side, Mr. Smith made the last speech. He refuted the arguments of the opponents and brought out many points. The English are not bound down by a written constitu tion, but their constitution is flexi ble and grows as the nation grows. The English citizen enjoys as much suffrage. To the English aris tocracy we are indebted for some of the most valuable parts of our con stitution. Amid intense excitement the judges retired and soon returned, Judge Douglas announcing the de cision, which was, as has been said, in favor of the representatives of this University. While the committee was out Dr. Winston entertained the au dience with his bright remarks. The committee which decided the debate were, Hon. Robt. M. Douglas, a member of the State Supreme Court, Prank L. Puller Esq. of the Durham bar, and Rev. Theodore D. Bratton, Rector of St. Mary's College at Raleigh. It would be wrong to close this article without making some co m- ment on the excellent manner in which the speeches were delivered and the amount ef careful research and study which they represent. The debaters were in fine form, the arguments were clear and con vincing and the points very lucid, while the diction was good. The Judges on the committee, asked as to how the debate im pressed them, answered as follows: Mr. Bratton said: "A remarka bly fine debate. They must have read up well. Both sides were thoroughly prepared and the speeches of a high order." Judge Douglas said: "They Continued on second page. The Educational Bureau, RALEIGH, N. C. Ninth year of successful operation.
