The first of the Intercollegiate wo- men's debates held at Queen's was won by two Varsity girls. The con- test which was held in Cenvocation Hall on Saturday afternoon, drew a goodly sized crowd of men and girl students, who heard oratory that would be difficult to surpass. Both Queen's and Toronto produced speakers of eloquence, aplomb, wit and fire, and the heavy subject, "Re- solved that Union of' Employed Workers is Beneficial to Society" re- ceived very skilful and interesting treatment. J The two Queen's debaters, who held the affirmative, were Miss Hen- rietta Anderson, of the senior year, snd Miss Ruby Hilliker, of the so- phomore year. Their worthy op- ponents were Miss Elizabeth Hiltz, daughter of Toronto's chief magis- trate, and Miss Lorna Cotton. The judges were Miss Ritohie and Rev. Dr. R. H. Befll, of this city, and Prof. Bridger, of the RM.C. * Queen's first speaker, Miss Ander- son, proved a vigorous speaker and a clear thinker and ecored many points for her college. -She stressed the vital necessity of organization for the masses of the population, the benefits in the way of higher wages, shorter hours and improved conditions which unions had secured for the working classes, and the re- Hef to the tax-payer in general which came as a result, Varsity's leader was a natural and pleasing speaker. She claimed that by fixing wages trade unions had de- creased efficiency and lowered pro- duction and formed a cause of unem- ployment. They created class dis- tinction in Capital and Labor and opposed the co-operation which 'so- olety needed. She quoted from the recent labor disputes in England to show the terrors of a national or an international strike, and said further that only seven per cent. of the working classes were members of unions and that it was the third party, the "public," that suffered from a strike. *. Miss Hillier, Queen's second speaker, made a nice presentation of her material, which was consider- able. She clafmed that unions, as a whole, favored the peaceful settle- ment of disputes; also that unions stood for the education of their members, and rendered invaluable service in the way of classes, 1ibr- aries and scholarships. She named Anthur Henderson and J. H. Thomas to show that unions had been suo- cessful in training statesmen, Last- ly unions weré the sponsors of ad- vanced legislations and leaders in the world's progress. Toronto's eecond, representative was a clever speaker and her sar- casm drew many laughs from the supporters of her opponents. Most of her time she devoted to rebuttal. Trade unionism was out of date, she said, and education was better in the hands of the government, and the émprovement of living and work- ing conditions in the care of social service workers. Unionism tehids to strikes, : Miss Anderson made a spirited re- responsible for ail the class warfare. the keynote of their organization and they had ren- dered great service in bringing to- ghther Catholic and Protestant and the different races. She received a great round of applause, The result of the game in Toronto cheer and @ rapid fire of college Miss Bessie Bfilings, of Levana '26, presided, Time was kept by Mies Kay Dolam, president of the Levana Society, » OAPT.

C. NASH ATTACKS THE MAYOR (Continued from page 1) "I taught public school for three years and any person who can handle a bunch of unruly youngsters should be able to handlg twenty-one gentle | manly aldermen. I then took a com- plete commercial course in a first class years afterward as a teacher. I mention this to show that I have had previous, technical training, in commercial law? and financing. I am also a graduate of the Dental College of Toronto, and an honor graduate of Toronto Univer- sity. From the age of fourteen, I al- ways spent my summers in some kind | of manual labor, generally on a farm, | one year in a cheese factory and some- |' times tending carpenters or even digg- ! ing a ditch. "In 1902, I was secretary of the first labor dnion formed in the town of ALD. C. C. NASH Brockville. I mention these things to show I have had labor problems of my own and can appreciate those of other people. I am not ashamed that I had to work hard when I was young, and hope I am not entirely over the desire to keep on working. The late Andred Carnegie said that it was a great thing to be born poor and honest. Some people have been kind enough to say I have made a success of my own busi- ness. Granting this is so, 1 should be more likely to be a successful Mayor, because how can a failure in other things be a success as mayor? True, he can lay low and let the city offi- cials and others run the city for him, but I don't want to be that kind. As alderman, I have served on nearly all committees, viz, board of works for two years, parks, city property and markets, charities, finance and ac- counts. I claim that Rideau ward has never been better looked after than the last three years. "We can talk about dur industries and smoke stacks, but our biggest as- sets are our girls and boys, and I have always taken an interest and spent much time in promofing glean sport |! and true citizenship among them. Criticizes Mayor Angrove. "Now a word on the future policy, and in discussing this, I will be forced to criticize the present mayor, on his record during the last twe years. Per- sonally, I have nothing to say against T. B. Angrove. He is a (hale fellow well met) and tries to be a general fa- vourite. He said last year he was not opposed by a 'red blooded man' and 1 take it that he meant that Mr. Anglin did not 'scrap' enough to suit him. I hope he won't have that to say this time. I am afraid that he is the man who lacks the red blood this time, be- cause he refused to meet me at a night meeting before a full house. I claimed the people who were working hard all day, but who are interested in the city, should be given a chance to hear the issues discussed, and he refused; al- though he at first promised he would do it. "Another thing--he seems to have no mind of his own on important issues aor else he is afraid to express it. The best proof of this is the change he made in voting this year in council. It SANTA'S MAIL Keeps piling in every day--hundreds and hundreds of letters have reached the jolly old fellow already. rushed he hasn't had time to answer them all, but just as soon as he has a minute he'll write to every little boy and girl. This is his address: -- MOORE'S TOYLAND - 206-8 WELLINGTON STREET He's been so 27 INCH 25c. 27 inch plain Black Sateen, nice finish and free from dress- ing. | to 5 yard ends. 25¢. yd. 5 yards ...

Big Redu ctions All Millinery PARISIAN MILLINERY 822 BROOK STREET has always been compulsory for all members of the council to vote 'yea' or 'nay' on all important questions and the mayor always voted first. This year the mayor decided he wouldn't vote at all; and not only that but I don't remember of him expressing his views in council on one important ques tion this year. I claim the mayor should know more about important is- sues than any other member, as he can get first hand information, and he should not be afraid to express his views. "If you want a mayor like that with no mind of his own, don't vote for me, as I will vote first and have good rea- sons for the way I do vote, if I am pre- siding next year. "As a member of the Public Utilities Commission, the mayor fell down bad. 1y last year. He was the direct repre- sentative of the council, and the people. Did he ask representative citizens what they thought about the change of offi- ces and the large amount of money spent? I know he didn't ask council, and when we asked him in council why he did it, his exact words were: 'Well, 1 was a new man there and didn't know much about it, and I thought the others should know what they were doing, so I just voted along with them.' He has acted like a wooden man all through the two years. He should have tried to hold up the pro- ceedings until he found out what the people wanted. Another: thing inthis connection. On February 16th, 1923, 1 was talking to Mayor Angrove in the Prince George hotel, Toronts, and he staying over as the supported it, but in council he never said a word. "I would like té'ask Mayor Angrove PURE LINEN TOWELS, 50c. EACH Another special buy of all pure Irish Linen Huck Towels in a nice, heavy quality and an extra large size. Special 50e.

STORE if he was in favor of the second scheme || brought forward y Mr. Aird and Hines of the MosSop hotel, Toronto, which was a better proposition than the first as everyone admits. Also, if the Hockenburg people come year with clear cut plan, how much will he subscribe? "Personally, I am not in favor of the city getting mixed up in the runn- ing of any hotel, but am willing to put next |} at least $1,000 in a clear cut proposi- |{i tion, as I consider we need a new hotel very badly, "I claim that we have too fast, especially this year when la- bor is in great demand. Bad years, when there is a good deal of unemploy- ment, there should be more paving. I also believe paving should be done by petition, and that has not been done, but very little, in the past. No small city can stand the pace we have been going and keep the taxes down. "The mayor claims he has had much |] to do inn lowering the tax rate but it is the finance committee who see to that and not the mayor alone. It is rather significant that he was on finance for years and the rate went up--the first time I was on the rate went down. This yeat's paving etc., does not affect taxes until next year but if it increases next year the way it has, this, the taxes must 80 up. Police Commissioner. The mayor, besides being a member of Utilities, is also a police commis- sioner, and generally trys the cases in the police court when the Police Ma- gistrate is unable to be there. The clec- tors should also take that into account and decide which of us would fill that position best. "Just now the electors are hearing a good deal about the library by-law and they can decide that themselves, but they will want a mayor who will attend the meetings and see that the wishes of the people are carried out. 1 am told that Mayer Angrove attended been paving Il | Bufiding lot 06 by 189, with large hen house; good locals ity and central, for $1,200, Some of our invessments fin yield 20% met.
