PATRIOTIC EXERCISES.
Entertaining Program at the Girls RI
form School.

No more interesting patriotic exercises
were ever held in the District of Columbia
than those which concentrated the 126th
birthday anniversary of the birth of the
flag at the girls reform school, on the Con-
duit road, on Monday evening" the first
ever attempted in that institution. The
program was arranged by the acting super
1ntendent, Miss OConnor, and Miss Flor
ence Russell, one of the teachers
The assembly room was very prettily dec
GRATED with flags and quantities of flowers,
the inmates of the school working with a
will to make things look as patriotic as
possible. Another very pleasing feature to
all concerned was the raising above the
school of a very handsome and brand-new
Old Glory, the first that has ever fioated
above that school, 1t is said. The president
of the board, Mr.. Chaplin Brown, Rev Dan
lei Hillhouse Buell. Of Georgetown Univer-
sity and Mrs. Anna NJ Baden. formerly
matron of the school, were among the
guests of honor.
The program consisted of patriotic songs
and speaking and recitations. The chorus
singing of the whole school was revela-
ton in melody and harmony. Among the
concert pieces were the following: Flag
of Our Nation" Star Spangled Banner, !"
and Red, White and Blue" The school
lief Corps, and followed it with dramatic
rendition of "Our First Flag
At the close there was a fine flag drill, in
which the whole school participated. 1t
was performed with military precision, and
attracted especial attention and applause.
After these exercises were over Mr.
Brown and Father Buell. addressed the
school. They spoke in high praise of the
performances. especially of the musical
features The school marched to the
amusement rooms singing John Brown"
which it gave with~a vim. Miss Flor
ence Russell presided at the organ through
out the exercises.
The guests were then invited to the din
ing room, where Miss O'Brien served a
lunch of cake and cream.

NOT AT ALL DISTURBED.
Commissioner Ware Maintains His
Position as to Kansas Contributions.

POSITION as to Kansas Contributions.
Commissioner Ware Of the pension bureau
is not in the least moved by the criticism
of his order forbidding the collection of
money in his bureau for the relief OF Kan
sans suffering from the effects of the food.
He takes his stand, he says. because Kan
sans are able to take care Of themselves
and he cannot have the people from other
states that happen to be employed in his
bureau importuned to give money to the
aid of the people OF his own state. Gov
Bailey of Kansas has taken exception to
the commissioners statement that Kansas
is well able to take care of herself, and he
makes appeal for aid. The people of the
flood-stricken districts are in a destitute
condition, according to the governor, and
need aid immediat ely. The result of the
stand taken in such Numerically opposite
positions by these. two. distinguished Kan
sans has provoked. Considerable contro-
versy, not only IN Kansas, but throughout
the country
There are just two propositions in this
controversy" said Commissioner Ware to
a Star reporter this afternoon. Governor
Bailey has one and / have the other The
whole state of Kansas is in the throes of
the argument, some people supporting the
governor and others supporting me- The
people are all going to flop to my side
as soon as they are done swearing Gov
ernor Bailey will admit am right 1 do
not propose to have the people employed
In this bureau asked to contribute to the
relief of Kansas. 1t looks too much as if
I wanted it myself. have not the slightest
objection to the people of Kansas who are
employed here giving all they can or solicit
ing subscriptions But all the other states
are having their troubles. The people of
South Carolina have had their mills swept
away and their people left homeless. New
England has been burnt up with the
drought and forest fires for the past six
weeks, Oregon has had it's flood and devas,
tating freshets Georgia has had it's calam-
ity. Every state has troubles as far as 7
know and can learn. and has as much as 1t
can do to take of it's own people I
happen to know that Kansas has the larg-
est per capita surplus she ever had and it
is larger than that of any state in the
United States or any country on the face
of the globe. That is my situation exactly
and, as 1 said before, the people are all go
ing to flop to my side Of the argument, the
governor Included"
1t was learned at the pension office TODAY
that the contributions of Kansas people to
the fund have been encouraged rather than
stopped by the commissioner and that he
contributed $500 out of his own pocket to-
ward the fund. Nothing could be learned
from him regarding his contribution, how
ever, although he did make it to the clerk
in charge of the fund.

SENATOR HOAR SPEAKS
ADDRESS By STATESMAN AT UNI
vERSITY OF IOWA
Discourse on the Principles Of Govern
ment-Rulers Must Have Same In
terest as People.

IOWA CITY. Iowa, June ia feature
Of the commencement exercises of the Uni
versity Of Iowa today was an address by
United States Senator George F. Hoar OF
Massachusetts,, who said, in part:
THE fate Of the nation depends In the
last resort on individual character. Every
thing in human government, like every
thing in individual conduct, depends In the
end upon the sense OF duty. Whatever safe
guards may be established however COM
plicated or we'll adjusted the mechanism.
you come to a place somewhere where safe
ty depends upon somebody having the will
to do right when it is in his power and
may seem to his interest to do wrong.
when tho people were considering the
adoption of the Constitution of the United
States, one of our w1sest statesmen said
that the real and only security Tor re-
public Is when the rulers have the same
interest as the people. If they have not
constitutional restraints will break down
somewhere, except for the sense OF duty or
the rulers.
"1All elections depend upon this princi-
pie. You may multiply election officers
and returning boards, you may provide Tor
an appeal to court of first resort or last re-
sort. But in the end you must somewhere
come to a point where the sense Of public
duty is stronger than party spirit or your
election is but a sort of fighting. or II not
that, a sort of cheating.
The same thing is true of the individual
voter, or of the legislator who is to elect
the senator, or the governor who Is to ap-
point the judge, or the executive ofncer or
the judge who is to interpret the Constftu-
ton or the statute and decide the cause or
the juror who is to find the fact. On these
men depend the safety and the permanence
Of the republic. On these men depend life,
liberty and property.
And yet each Of them has to make that
choice. Each has to decide whether he
will be Influenced by ambition or by party
spirit or the desire for popular favor or
the fear of popular disfavor or the love OF
money. on the one side, or by the sense OF
duty on the other
1.-The great single purpose of moral edu-
cation must be to induce the will to adhere
to its general, permanent and deliberately
conceived purpose In spite Of the motives
which appeal to 1t with special strength at
the time of the choice of action. In other
words, it is to give strength to resolution
which will overcome the strength of
temptation.
ITO teach this to the youth Of the re-
public is the great duty of the university.
The final purpose of all scholarship, as OF
all life, is character

Severe Fighting Has Al
ready Occurred.

CAPE HAITIEN, April 3.--The situ-
alton in Santo Domingo City is very
critical. The commander of the United
States cruiser Atlanta, which has ar
rived at Santo Domingo from this port,
has landed a detachment of fifty blue
Jackets to guard the United States con-
sulate general in that city.
A shell fired during the night by the
Dominican cruiser Presidente, which is
on the side of President Vasquez, fell
on the German consulate. The damage
done, however, was purely material,
us the projectile happily did not burst.
A battle lasting three hours took
place Wednesday between the govern
ment troops and the revolutionists on
the banks of the river Ozama, which
flows into the Caribbean sea at Santo
Domingo. hundred men were killed
or wounded.
President Vasquez demands the sur
render of Santo Domingo City, but the
revolutionists are disposed to resist up
to the last moment.
