G. C. I. Representatives Argue Suc-
cessfully Against Exclusion of ()r-

by the Literary Society.
The meeting of the Collegiate lurli-
lute Literary Soviets' on Friday even•
lug tsar was marked by. au intetnat-
ins intercollegiate debate on the ques-
tion of Oriental immigration into ('a -
nada. The resolution was Oust "('+a-
nadx is justified in excluding Orien-
tals," and W. M. McQueen and J. A.
Cameron, students of Clinton ('olleg-
latelnstitute, supported the alltrma-
tive, while N's-. F'inglaud :and Gur-
don tVightueln, of the Goderich
school, took the negative side. Thr
judges were J. Hartley, principal of
Clinton Model School ; E: E. Ball,
•nester of English and modern lan-
gnatgeee in Clinton l'olkgint• Institute,
and U. F. Blair. of (iealerich.
\L•. McQueen ta •
e opened the debate :old
argued that the people of e4ery land
head the right to say who should be
allowed to come into their country
and amociat• wi..h its 'citizenship. If

found to he undesirable, they, too.

The troubles of the United States
with the negro populatiuu were
usett ,an an example of how a
higher civilization was rndatugerett by
the influx of a lower race. l'he yel-
low and white races would never as-
similate. and the presence of the Ori•
entitle in Canada would wenn contin-
ual sirip(' between the two races, not
only in industrial life but in religious
and other affairs. The Orientals were
trunk in iwtuurality. and Canada
should out allow its people to come in
contact with the vices of the Emit.
The isomer of supply for the yellow
wen was practically inexhaustible,
and as it would always be found that
the white mars would save out when
the yellow man moved in it would be
.err that the problem wee whether
Canada was to be a white man's
country or Aa yellow one.
Mr. F'ingland followtd. Ile stated
that, while the negative side were
oppuetd to exclusion, they werr in
favor of the reetricliun of • 'gra-
tient. He pointed out that the term
Oriental included Hindu. Chinese and
Jailaneee, and as the Hindus were
British subjects they t be ac-
corded the same rights as other Brit-
ish subjects, whoac joy and pride it
was that they could go Anywhere un-
molested within the bounds of the
British Empire. Many ief three
native•+ of India were, 100, wen who
had fought for the Empire. Refer-
ring to the high positiuu w which
Japan iliad risen in the affairs of the
world, the speaker urged the folly of
doing anything to antagonize such a
power, and held that,, instead of in-
curring their animosity. Canada
ehould cultivate the friendship of the
Japanese. The pi/settee of Orientate
among our people would be a bond
and a safeguard against attack from
the Oriental powers. The people of
the East were showing that they ire
sented unfair treatment, and it we ex-
cluded theta they could boycott. out
goods and paralyze our trade with the

Canadian industries possible.
Mr. Cameron then took u . the tale
011 the affirmative side. He empha-
sized the danger to Canada of being
swamped with niillious (1 Chinese and
Japanese, and denied that trade with
the Orient would Ie injuriously ,af-
fected by their exclusion, pointing to
the United States as a case in point.

Mr. Mct4ualu wade a brief reply,
two of his point* being that the
strength of the nation lied in the
degree of uuity which it 'temente, and
that there are at present many unetu-

would be aggrivatd by the ndmiseiou
of Oriental labor.
'1'he judger withdrew, and after a
lung a►beence returned with a decisiou
for the negative. The lioderich de-
baters were distinctly superior in
style, but in regard to argument, the
)udgen had ruuslderable difficulty In
deciding but finally conceded the palm
to liodcrich. Mr. Fiuglaud, in mov-
ing a vote of thanks to the fudges,
m,alestly disclaimed any special et -edit
for the victors, as their uppouemta, he
untta•rato od, had never before takes
part in a debate, while he and his
colleague had had experience on the
pletfurnl.
the tlel.ate was only a portion of an
excellent program which was pro-
vided by tine Literary Society. The
Glee flub gave several choruses and
waist»iuexl the splendid reputation
which it has made this year. Mies
Eleanor Walker gave 1 trading from
"the Birds' Christos, carol' which
was greatly eujoyed. The Sam Slick
orchestra, a unique minstrel organiza-
tion, gave two eelectiuns uud scored
an immense succelle. A wand drill
was cleverly executed by twelve
pretty girls iu white, the- performance
eliciting many compliments for the
pet formers and their trainer. Miss
Doherty. The latest number of The
6. C. 1. Journal was !caul by the
assistant editor, Benson Lott, and
was tull of wit and whitlow. An
instrumental duet by Mesar,. Adams
and Millyartl was touch appreciated,
and a second number wan given in
response to an enthusiastic recall.
While the verdict of the judges was
leiug awaited, brief addresses were
given by the editor of The Sigual and
Mrs, a Ker• 1 Hamilton, the latter being
a fernier teacher in the school. 1)r.

Altogether it was a program which
reflected much credit upon the exeeu-

attended the sheeting were well re -

the students, and has given some ex-

THE MORALITIES OF
HORTICULTURE.
,1s' stamen* %t w::• • k..
That hurticulturt. is cheating in its
tendencies there is no doubt. 'chs
character of those engaged in it is
abundant evidence of the truth of
the slutewett. Without any desire
to be egotistical. or to give undue praise
to the horticultural fraternity, it
seems in place to repeat the expressed
(pillion el theme entirely unbiassed.
One uf the wain benefits of horticul-
tur'af meetings Is the interchange of
ideas. '!here Is no sue .0 well in-
formed that he may not (earn wattle -
thing, and usually s •thing vet y iw-
p.rtanl, in /be way of treattnent of
trees, plants or soil ;about the varieties
to be planted or tejecterl : methods of
KtainR. packing er marketingfruit,

or Nomething else cotnccted with the
bn.iness, Ono. way- know one thing
and another something else. lull in
the multitude of experience related lir
muggert thrown out there will la'
an Interchange of ideas that is sure to
result in good. Wt. may read of these
matter. t, be helmeted, but there ere
mote chance„ for getting at the facts
and making fixed iutpt•tssiona on the
n ' 1 by face-to-face dis•u4Niot Of
cams-,• t he surest way to get inform*.
tion i, by set rs% trial, but next to this
the best wit,- is by discussion with
th,oe who have had experience.
Net. only may we receive benefits
from intending hem•tiesltural meet•
ings. but we can and should help
mitres. It is a duty we owe to our
feu, ets-workers to givt• them the belle -
tit of • ideal., and it is well known
that there Is very little of the erdin•
any spirit of selfishness among liut•ti-
enituraal px•uple•. That is ptoltatbly one
of the rea4ea,lte for the prosperity that
i. usually the out of the. horticulturist.
The statement that "the literal soul
shalll be made fat" is as true ea any
that has been made. We have almost
no trade .ectets and one who has is
soon in had favor with his fellow-
hortie•Ilten'iet.. Life should not be
all business, nor is it so among the
hot liettlturaf fraternity. At the
meetings of the various societies thet•te
is often much of a social mature. We
meet those of kindred winds and
waru1 Attalehulente are formed. Thence
friendships fe rued at the horticul-
tural meeting. ,ue prized more than
1 caul express and will live until we
pass ant of this world. They are as
delightfully fragrant as the most deli-
ci,us fruit we grow, and as beautiful to
the eye of the soul. Let tie make nu
many friends as possible within the
cleric Of mut• (limen calling, enjoy
them while we may and then cherish
their memories forever.
The horticultural macieties of Alu-
