In The WHITE HOUSE
Mr.. Kermit Roosevelt. Eight Year:
Old, is Interviewed by
Reporters.

Washington, September 27.-Here is
a complaint from Mr.. Kermit Roose-
velt, eight years old, son of the Presi-
dent. 1t is his first interview, and he
will probably read it very carefully to
see if he has been correctly quoted.
Mr.. Kermit Roosevelt spoke in very
dignifed voice and evidently weighed
his words very carefully. He said:
"Please do not spell my name wrong.
will spell it for you. 1t is Kermit.
The papers print it wrong every time,
and call me Miss Everybody thinks
I'm girl. Don't forget, Mr.. Report
ers, TO spell so that everyone will know
I'm boy"
Kermit and his ten-year-old sister,
Ethel, with the Negro messenger,
Henry Pinckney, as guide, have made
a complete tour of the White House.
For the first time in five years the
laughter of children is heard in the
out-of-the-way places in the govern
ment mansion. The cooks and servants
lined up to receive the two children,
and the attendants in the lobby chuckled
all day with the Joy of having some
little ones to work for.
Kermit was much impressed with the
electrical elevator which runs to the
Presidents private apartments. AS
soon as he got to the lobby he investi-
gated it. The elevator man took him
up and down several times.
Meanwhile Ethel had been watching
the performance from the lobby.
''I don't think much of that" she
said disdainfully. 81 can beat it up
stairs.''
He dared her to try. With signal
from one OF the men in the lobby the
little girl flew upstairs, and the ele-
vator shot out of sight. Kermit and
the elevator won, but the boy was very
chivalrous about it.
"You almost beat me-" he said feel
ingly."

A SCHOOL controversy has broken
out in Cleveland which is arousing con-
siderable interest. The School Board
passed resolution to have the Twenty
Third Psalm, the Lords Prayer, and
the Ten Commandments read in the
public schools. 1t has been the custom
for teachers in most of the schools to
have these read, but it was thought
best to have them read in all the
schools, hence the resolution was
adopted by the Board. Some of the
Catholics and Jews have made objec.
tion to the resolution, and it is said the
resolution will be repealed at the first
meeting of the Board. 1t might be
well to let the minority have the tax
they pay, that they might have schools
of their own. If it is wrong for Chris
tians to have anything that pertains to
Christianity taught in the schools, ii
would be better to have different
schools. Better that than Goddess
schools, which will make anarchists Of
the children. If it is wrong to teach
Jews and Catholics from the Protestant
bible, it is wrong to tax Christians to
keep up schools for Jews and Cath
olics. This rule ought to work both
ways. The correct ground, however,
is that this is Christian Government,
and nothing should be tabooed that is
not sectarian. 1t is time Christians
were making fight for the rights OF
Christians in a Christian Government.

DEATH
OF DR.. William c. Gray, Editor
of the "InteriOr."

DIR. Gray, Editor of the Chicago "In-
terror" died at his home in Oak Park,
suburb of Chicago, Sunday, Septem-
Der %, in his 10th year. He submitted
to surgical operation in the Spring be-
fore going to the woods of Northern
Wisconsin, for his annual outing. But
he failed to recover, and came home a
week or two since, to be called from
the bosom of his family to better
home above, to join his father and
mother, and dear friends gone before.
DR.. Gray was born in Butler county,
Ohio, in 1882. He was in a class at
Farmers College with Benz. Harrison,
Murat Halsted and other menwho after
wards became distinguished He edit
ed several county papers, and founded
the Tiffin Tribune. In 1871 he was
called to Chicago by Mr.. Mccormick,
the inventor of the first reaper, to edit
the Interior, then being launched on
the sea of religious journalism. The
firm was Mccormick & Gray, and
continued thus to the present-Mrs. Nc
Cormick and her sons holding the
fathers interest after his death.
DIR. Gray was not minister, but
studied law. He gave up law fol
journalism, that being to him more in
viting field. The Interior was church
paper, but not a church organ. 1t wa:
responsible to no church or church
Icourt. Yet it was sterling Presby
terian paper. Through the persona
magnetism, of DIR. Gray, his humor
his sterling good sense, his genuine
piety, his fine abilities as writer ant
editor, the Interior became very popu
lar and to this popularity was addet
the wise management of the McCor
micks, and these two influence
made the paper the most popular re
ligious journal in America. A beauti
full typographical appearance and il
convenient form were added t
these winning characteristics, an
, secured it the largest circulatio
3 among religious papers in the Who'll
country, Notwithstanding the sui
lscription rate was 81 80
DR.. Gray became widely known an
3 exercised an influence in the churc
. second to no man in it. He was of tn
liberal wing on the question of revi
: ions of the church creed, perhaps to
!. liberal, but his heart was right and b
was safe leader.
We had a slight personal acquain
ance with the Doctor, were invited
write for his paper, on more than or
: Occasion, and esteemed him very higl
s ly as a man, but his musings" an
editorials made the Interior especia
ly delightful to Us. We shall miss hi
l. as If he had been a near friend.

ments be returned. His condemns
tion of the alleged practices of some
drug stores in the matter OF selling
liquor was most severe, and he urge4
the jury to take the matter up as 500
as the cases of confined persons WI
disposed of. His structures upon g
bling and houses of ill-fame were scai
ly less severe, and he urged that ale
these violations of the law be careful
investigated. "Above all, it is m
purpose to stop the illegal sale Of Ii
uor," said Judge Conrad, land it is tt
duty of the court and grand jury to SCI
that all such sales are punished to the
fullest extent of the law"
If all the judges of the state would
pursue similar course to that ofJudge
Conrad, there would be less cause ol
complaint of the violation of the liquor
laws of the state.

NEW AGRICULTURAL OPENING.

q Those who are interested in DIVERSE
ned agriculture and do not wish to see
Hawaii put all it's eggs into one basket,
will read the views of Mr.. E. II. Ed
wards, as printed elsewhere, with spe-
cial interest. If it is true as he says,
and as he is prepared to join with any
one in demonstrating at slight expense,
that the vanilla bean can be raised here
at a. profit of $3.50 per acre, then the
sooner our vacant arabic lands are
turned into "vanilleries" the better for
the future of Hawaii. No one can tell
what may not happen, in a few years
slime, to the price of sugar. The beet
sugar industry of the United States is
steadily gaining ground; every available
rood of Porto Rico must soon be made
to produce sugar after the fashion, of
Hawaii; Jamaica may come into the
Union with its immense potential sugar
resources; a reciprocity treaty with
Cuba is almost certain to be passed so
as to bind the interests of that coming
republic closely with those of the Unit
ed States; and when peace ensues in the
Philippines and the canal has been
built, sugar may be sent to New York
and Philadelphia from there as cheap
ly as it is now sent to those markets
from Hawaii in vessels sailing around
the Horn. In view of such contingent
cies it behooves Hawaii to encourage
all experiments which, in case sugar
should decline, would maintain the
progress and keep up the prosperity of
this group. Another reason, good in
any event, is to give the small proprie-
tor chance to do well by himself, his
children and his country
The vanilla bean, which Mr.. Edwards
especially mentions-though not confin-
ing himself to it-grows thriftily in this
city as a trellis vine or as an ornament.
Mauritius, which is in about the same
latitude south of the equator that Ha-
wall is in north of it, exports vanilla
TO value of about lao, 600 rupees.
There the ornamental use of the vine
has long since made way for the prac-
tNal use; and we see no climatic rea
son or any reason appertaining to soils.
why the same process should not be re-
here.
Hawaii expects to have a Govern
ment experiment station in time but it
does not need to wait for that. It's
land-holders may experiment on their
own account and we hope some of them
will do so with the vanilla bean in par
ticular and with some of the other
