LOCAL    INSURANCE    MAN
HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN
B'NAI B'RITH CIRCLES
Memorial Hall was parked to overflowing last Mond.iy evening upon the occasion of the long heralded Darrow-Tar.shisli debate. This remiirkable exlii- hition of mental gymnastics attracted over 4,500 people from every section of central Ohio, who were desirous of hearing a discussion of what man is and his place in thc universe. A kindly and tolerant spirit pervaded the great auditorium and everyone sat with rapt attention listening to the two distinguished contestants, I'ormer Mayor George J. Karb presided and spoke in laudatory ternK of both Darrow and Rabbi Tarshish. Chief of Police Harry E French acted as timc- Ueeper. It is interesting to note that the main floor, the gallery, as well as the platform were about 100 pcr cent occupied. Mr. George G, Whitehead, of the Redpath Lvccum Bureau and Chautauqua of this eity wiii responsible for all tbo arrangements for thc debute and deserves a great deal of credit for thc snc- tc.ssful m;inner in which the project was carried out.
Agree Basically
Basically the two men agrtetl. Tarshish .idmitied that the human being is tike a machine in his physical aspects but he pursuc<l the exposition of man's ibaracter still farther. He endowed man with a honl, spirit, free will,—"call it what you will," he «;aid—attributes which he said no machine could have.
Darrow said there is no such thing ai a soul. It's never been seen, never lu'cn ;malyzcd, he pointed out.    He declared:
"When you die, your body weighs jubt as much as it did just before. What ]s your soul, nothing? If nothing is the soul, what is nothing? Where in the dickens is this soul? When it get.s separated from thc body, where does it go? Does it roost in a tree?
"Was there a soul in the original cell from which I came? X^en I must have 10,000 nameless sisters aind brothers on my mother'^ side and a billion on my father's.
"If a man dii'S at noon and his wife dies at *! p. ni., their souls will never get together on the way to heaven. Because in thc six hours intervening the earth h.'LS both rotaletl and revolved and thc two different '¦ouls will go shooting oil into thc eternities of space at vastly different angles."
"Such rot, such noubenhe." Terms which each of thL dcbaiurs asked the other to define included "soul," "mind," "lihurty," "justice," "truth," "purpose." "ideals," "spirit" and "Gud" Neither v.ns abli' tn define .my satisfnciorily to thc other.
Agree on Evolution
Tarshish agreed with Darrow in many things.   Evolntion was one of them. He declared that it was in the uilcrpretation of the facts and not the facts them¬ selves that thcy disagreed.   "Mr, Darrow believes that the world is a purposeless, ' (Continued ou page 4)

Mr. Warburg personally visited the new Jewish colonies in Russia last year.
