SCARLET AND GREEN 5 of the cadet company, President of his class, and represented the A. H. S. in the Inter-High School debate, in which contest the A. H. S. was on the winning side. Since graduating here in 1903, he has been teaching in his home town. He is now at the head of the Johnson public schools. THE FOUNDING OF SCARLET GREEN “I had a dream, That was not all a dream.” The legend of Scarlet and Green has always remained a mystery. Few know the story of the origin of this journal, and those few have now passed from the balcony of school life in which they were then standing into the large auditorium of life. To Walter H. Kiechel, ’03, there came a dream which was not all a dream—the dream of an Auburn High School paper. Having secured the consent of the faculty to establish such an enterprise, Mr. Keichel consulted with his classmate, C. Ray Gates, editor then of ‘‘High School Notes,” and between these THE QUESTION SPEECH OF T. R. Lady President, honorable judges, friends and fellow studentsBefore going to my main debate I must stop to answer a few of my opponents points. They tell you it is morally wrong to take territory. Was it wrong when we took Louisiana or any of the like territories? My opponents learned today in Civics that the United States will be the greatest colonizing nation of the world. They tell us we will have to go to China to get territory to annex. What about Canada right at our own door? They tell us that what has proven so good in the past will not prove so in the future. How else can we judge the future, except by the past? They say England has failed in India. What nation ever did a grander work than England has for India? They tell us that the people we can now annex are an inferior race. Are the Canadians of an inferior race? Then it is not how to annex Canada, but if Canada were annxed would it be for our best interests? They tell us of the extra expense to the govern- two the plans were made and the editorial staff selected. The naming of the new journal was left-to Mr. Gates, who decided that it should be called, “Scarlet and Green”—taking the name from the colors of the school: scarlet signifying fervency, and green, growth. The staff of the paper for the first year consisted of Walter Kiechel as editor-in-chief, with Ray Gates, Carl Riesenberg, Gertrude Tyler and John Hanna as associate editors and E. Fritz Slagle as business manager, who later resigned and was succeeded by Elmer Dovel, through whose efficient management the paper was made a financial success, paying all of its own expenses. The paper has now grown into a healthy youngster of nearly three volumes, having increased in size, circulation and literary merit far beyond the widest expectations of its promoters. May its future success be unbounded; may it ever continue to ride safely over the tempestuous financial sea, upon which so many similar publications are lost—is the wish of its founders. OF EXPANSION P. STOCKER, ’05. ment in having more colonies. My friends, the annexation of Canada would give the United States more revenue than the extra expense to the government could possibly be. Then the commercial advantages would over-balance any expense in the governing of these territories. They tell you Rome fell because of their immense territory. Rome’s fall was caused, not by her immense territory, but by her people degenerating morally. They tell you of the terrible expense in keeping our island colonies. Honorable judges, every island colony United States has taken has paid for the cost. Both Porto Rico and the Hawaiin islands are now self-supporting and the United States has much commerce with them both. Before the war with Spain United States’ vessels carried only ten per cent of the Porto Rican trade, but now they carry eighty per cent of it. Even the Philippines which were taken as the inevitable result of the war with Spain, although they have not as yet paid all the
