Solomon's address in the Stetson chapel last Thursday was the highlight of the Peace Day activities, inaugurated by the Student Peace club on the campus Prominent as religious leadei and editor of the Florida Baptist Weekly in Jacksonville, Dr. Solomon took as the theme the idea that there was no difference between the murder of individuals and a massed body of persons. "And there can be no peace in the, world without righteousness," said Dr. Solomon. "I find by reading all kinds of books that nobody in the world really wants war. It has, been said that there is no competition in virtue, and violence never produces virtue of any kind "Sherman said that war is hell: Smedley Butler called it a 'racket'; and Napoleon said that it never settled anything." Dr. Solomn spoke feelingly of the, abuse exemplified in the Great War when, three-fourths of the young men examined in England were found undernourished and unfit for service. These young men were sent to training camps to be fed, "to be fattened for the slaughter." Many Stetson teachers gave their thought and attention to the subject of peace in the recitations for the day. Prof. H. S. Winters and Prof. R. W. Severance in. their History and Library Science classes, Dr. R. E. Clark in his Sociology classes and Prof. P. I. Lipsey in his Journalism, talked on1 this world problem.

The case involved a contract whereby the plaintiff was to receive a commission for the sale of a piece of property. After the plaintiff had introduced the owner of the property, the defendent, to a prospective buyer, the defendent proceeded to sell the property himself. The salesman brought action to collect the commission that was due him on the sale, and was upheld by the court and collected his fees. This week's trial will bring Perry Nichols against Harpo Haddock in a case where plaintiff is seeking to recover damages done to his property when an oil well "came thru" and scattered oil and dirt over his property. Nichols will represent the plaintiff and Haddock the defendent.

By JACK GORE The Stetson debate team, four strong, rolled back into town late last Friday to complete a week's journey which saw the green and white banner carried into competition in three states, embracing ! 1900 miles of territory. | Competing against ,the cream of southern universities in the Van- derbilt tourney at Nashville the Stetson debaters won two decisions and lost two others in their bracket of the double round ;robio tournament. Harmon Harper and Clyde Harnage upheld the affirmative side of the issue, "Resolved that the Consumer Cooperative Movement Should be Extended in the South," while Wilton Rowe and David Molthrop argued for the negative. t Molthrop, in addition to his debating took part in the oratorical. contest and advanced to the final round, being awarded one first, 'place, a.third, and a fourth, by the judges. Harper extended his activities also by entering the extemporaneous speaking contest. Prior to the Nashville tournament the debaters engaged in two practice debates with the University of Florida, lost a. 3-4 decision at Berry College, Mt. Berry, Ga., and argued a no decision debate with East Tennessee State College at Murfreesboro. At Mt. Berry the Stetsonites argued before a crowd estimated at a thousand people and were later awarded the keys to the private estate of Miss Martha Berry, which is situated at the top of the mountain, and serves as a fire lookout tower for the surrounding district. In addition to their actual debating the group interviewed many southern farmers to secure their view of the cooperative movement. Harper, who is working on "The Collapse of Cotton Tenancy" also spent some time gathering first hand information among the various areas visited. The debaters were accompanied on their tour by Dean Cotner, head of the Stetson debating department. STILL GROWING Stetson has a new addition to its student body.

The pup has been concentrating on Salesmanship. But the other day he rudely got up and walked out of class right in the middle of Dr. Fisher's lecture. Skeeter has self-riespect: he attends no Freshman classes.
