HIGH SCHOOL ORATORY

james um:, of imhanaimh.is, wins first ho:oks. EiiuMhIi'm Opern Hoiie Completely Fllleel 'vi th an Animated An 11. once of Young People. The "boosters" for James Glpe. representative of Short ridpc High School In last nighfs oratorical c-emtest at English's Opera House, must have had a premonition that their man would win, for the appearance of Walter Eggemeyer, president of the association, on the ftage was tho signal for a roar of applause, yells and catcalls from leical high school students that rendereel it almost impossible for Mr. Eggemeyer to make himself heard In the announcement, "James Gipe. of Indianapolis, has won first place." The uproar continued with crescendo force for several minutes, and then the announcer finished by giving the other winners Arthur Ach, of Madison, second, and Dowell King, of Richmond, third place. The contest was the fifth of the Indiana Interscholastic Oratorical Association, and the attendance was fully commensurate with the high esteem in which the event was helel by high school studtmts in the seven cities represented Indianapolis, Richmond. Madison. Muncie, Columbus, Huntington and Portland. The audience presented a kaleidoscopic effect with the gay hats and dresses of the young girls anel the rich profusion of many-colored ribbemds waving and dangling in all parts of the theater. The front box at the left of tho stage was filled with handsomely dressed young women and presented a beautiful picture In colors. Of course there was iwdse, plenty of It, but that mattered little since the audhmce was made up chiefly of young folks, there not being much room left for the elders. The programme was attractively arranged, the orations being interspersed with musical numbers. One of the most enjoyable at thee was the song "For all Eternity" (Mascheronl), rendered by Miss Margaret G. Johnson, of Madison, who enjoys the distinction of being the first vocalist to appear on a programme of the association. Other music of an exeellent quality was furnished by the Shortridje High School orchestra and by the Muncie Glee Club, the latter made up of twenty-one good male voices. The exercises were opened with an address by President Eggemeyer, who himself won first place in a similar oratorical contest. Powell King, representing the Richmond High School, was the first contestant to speak. Mr. King's oration was a glowing eulogy on Wendell Phillips, "the slave's most eloquent defender." Arthur Ach, representing the Madison Hih School, a lad of fifteen attlreel in knee trousers, created a most favorablo Impression by his admirable delivery of an oration on the subject "No Monopoly on Genius." The speech displayed remarkable depth of thought and elegance of diction conslebring the youth of the speaker, and many thought he would secure first place easily. Will O'Donnell, of the Columbus High School, gave an interesting and exhaustive oration on "Penedict Arnold." in which he showed that Arnold displayed early In life traits of character that presaged the unfortunate end of his career. "The First Martyr" was the subject of the oration by Omar W. Hearn, of the Portland High School, and tho martvr proved to be Rev. Elijah P. Love joy, "who saved the freedom of tho pre ss." Py an old coincidence James Gipe, the Shortridge High School representative, ef this eitv, chose the same subject that was useel bv Dowell King. "Wendell Phillips." e-xcept that Mr. Glpe aelded "The Abolitionist." Mr. Glpes delivery was reallv better than that of any other contestant, and probably assisted materially in raising him to first place. The oration was interesting, but differed very littlo from the other one on the same subject. Miss Pearl Franklin, of the Huntington High School, had a peculiar oration Tor a young woman, her topic being "Little Laborers of a Great City." She spoke forcibly against the evil of child labor and urged the manual training school as a cure. The last orator, bv a coincidence, secured last place in the contest. He was Walter Gregerv. of Muncie. and his oration was on the subject of "Fanaticism." Mr. Gregory's percussive style of de-livery was against him. although his oration had many good points. He denounced lynching as the outgrowth of fanaticism and referred particularly to the recent distressing; event In Terre Haute. The Judges who decided last night's eontest were: On thought and composition. Dr. W. 1. Kane, president of Wabash College. Crawfordsville; Prof. C. A. Waldo, of Purdue University, Lafayette; Prof. W. P. Rogers, of Indiana University. Hloomlngton. On elelivery. Capt. Wm. E. English, of Indianapolis; Prof. John M. Walker, of De Pauw University. Greencastle, and State Senator Enoch (J.

The elotumcnt says on this pednt: "Comrades are aelvised that the Fiftysixth Congress adjourned sine elit en March 4. anel, although the committees having charge eef the so-called eterans' prcfen-nce bill anil th bill undertaking te create a court eif pensieiu appeals urged the passage eif th.-se praiseworthy measures with all Imaginable- p. rscve -ranee and ability, suc-ce-ss failed to crown their efiorts.

The various reasons assigned by those largely responsible fer this outcome do wA satisfactorily explain their action.

The opinion concludes as follows: "Hy the provisions of the act of f01 concernlnf? town orneers (Acts of 1!h)1, p. r7).

It see ins clear to me that It was the Intention of the Legislature that, while town clerks should have the general jurlselictinn of a Justice of the peace, yet In Insanity prex-ee-dlns. which are neither civil nor criminal in a ttehnlcil sense, the Jurlseliction to hear nnel determine the same should be and remain in the justice of the peace exclu."lt is. therefore. In my opinion, that Insanity procecelinrs should b had and he Id bv a justice of the peace exclusively umler the provisions of the eliffe-rent Insanity acts, and that the town clerk has not the authority od Jurisdiction to hear and determine such cases."
