"Resolved," That the centraliza tion of power in our government would be beneficial to the nation" was the query debated in the Phi Saturday night. The negative won, and to Mr. Walter Dixon was awarded the palm of victory. The Di debaters considered the advisability of encouraging immi gration to the South. It was decid ed that the South needs the immi grants. Mr. Edmunds made the best speech and Mr. S. Rae Logan succeeded in securing honorable mention, A VICTORY FOR THE. DPS. (Continued from page 1.) saying it represented private in terests, confuses state and national affairs, and causes dead-locks. Mr. Freeman of the negative was the second speaker. He out lined the contention of the negative He said: "In discussing this ques tion, it js my purpose to show, first, that our legislative system composed of two houses differently constituted is the necessary result of the two-fold nature of our gov ernment, composed of the people and the states, two distinct compon ent.sand, therefore, the Senate, as part of that system, is inherent in the organic nature of our govern ment, and is vitally essential to it. And, second, that the Senate has given the best results possible. My colleague will show the evils that will necessarily ' follow the proposed change." Mr. Umstead followed for the af firmative. He followed up the plan previously ' outlined, and said the proposed change would not destroy the conservatism of the Senate, that it would not destroy the represen tation of the States as States, and that it would measure up to the de mands of modern democracy. "The people, " he said "can better express their wish than a delegated author ity. The people are the source of authority. Democracy demands that the people shall delegate only such authority as they cannot best do themselves. There were good causes for denying the people this right at first, but they no longer exist. Democracy has been tried and has succeeded." ' ' Mr. Graham closed for the nega tive. He dealt with the defects in the proposed change. He said the affirmative based their objection to the present method on the ground that it is old. "The country has grown," he said, "but the founda tions of government have not changed." He admitted defects, but said they were not inherent but incidental, and could be changed without changing the method of election. He said it would be a change from the legislatures to po litical conventions which could as easily be improperly influenced by trusts, etc., as the legislatures, and that such a change would be one to minority representation. "A change from the Legislature to the people," he said, "changes the con stituency from the States to the people. It makes both houses pop ular houses. Such a change would result in the destruction of present checks and balances. It means a change from forty-six sovereign States to eighty-six million people." Then followed the rejoinders which were very good. The com mittee, composed of Dr. Venable, Dr. Ruffin, and Prof. Stacy, with out leaving their seats according to the conditions of the contest, gave a unanimous decision in favor of the negative. ' A Freshman Meeting. It has happened. The long hoped for the much dreamed of the unexpected has come to pass. The Freshmen, on the campus, in a public place, have held a meet ing in peace. Friday evening at 2:15, one hun dred and fifty Freshmen and a few ball managers sneaked into the new chemical laboratory where they talked and wrangled for two hours over the college destiny. The meeting being duly called to order by the President nominations were in order and in evidence for the election of a baseball manager. Shrewd political geniuses had been at work and soon a hundred voices hailed the election of a Mr. Stewart to the coveted honor. This work over, then were all energies turned to the solution of the Commencement problem-should the Freshman have a dance? And in this the ball managers took part Long and heated was the discussion and many were the speeches made. Mr. Hanes in his maiden speech covered himself with glory and Mr. Banks had the gallery with him to a man. The whys and wherefores were gone into and the ground fully covered, Mr. Stacy going from the mountains to the seacoast. Pande monium broke loose, haud clappings and hissings arose, motion succeed ed motion and table was piled upon table and chaos reigned. Then did Pres. Way nick nobly do his duty and from this disorder brought or der. The motion was put was carried and so finally settled. The class, following the example of the Sophomore class, is to pay fifty dollars for the right to have the dance exclusively theirs, and the rest of the amount charged by the ball managers is to be made up by the men staying to Commence ment, Mr. Dickson's Speech. Mr. R. D, Dickson, a graduate of Davidson College and a student at Union Theological Seminary, made a talk on Tuesday night before the Y. M. C. A. His subject was the gospel ministry. Mr. Dickson began by saying that twelve out of seven hundred and fifty students was not a fair proportion for this institution to furnish to the ministry. He fol lowed this up with a clear cut ex position of the crying need for min isters and closed with an earnest and forceful plea for the young men of the University to enter the min istry.
