After every peace conference we
notice the great powers proceed to
increase their armament.

Owing to the clash between the
state and federal courts in this state
over the commodity railway rate
question, it may be necessary for
4 Congress to clearly define the powers
of these courts. 1t is the old states
right question in new form and
which in previous contests has
generally been decided in favor Of the
general governments if it has
been necessary to resort to arms.

Minnesota has now reached the
dignity of a billion dollar state.
Auditor Iverson in fixing the state

on an assessment of 81, 900, 900, 900,

in excess of that. A great state is

fdisported at the closing exercises of tn,
fifth and six grades of the Contra
Grammar School last night, presentins
before a large number of relatives and
friends the pretty operetta of 1.-THE
Rival Queens The affair was an out
of-doors one, the scores of prettily-
costumed children fitting on and off
a temporary stage on the lanai of the
school building, while the audience was
seated or stood in the cool grounds
without.
/ From start to finish the affair was
a success, the singing was well done
and the acting of the principals of the
| fairy drama quite as good as could
have been expected from the young
persons engaged. Great credit is due
whoever designed the costumes used
by the children, the dainty colors form
ing innumerable pretty tableaux as the
wearers danced about or grouped them
selves on the stage. The manner in
which the various solos, choruses and
trios were rendered was creditable also
to the musical director of the school,
Mrs. J. w. Yarndley
Throughout the operetta a number of
clever dances were given, some by tiny
tots of fairies, and others, more am
bilious, by some of the older pupils,
but all in perfect time and with grace
full movements.
The principal characters, those of
Queen Rose, Nightshade, Prince Leon
and Telfa, on whom the greater share
of the speaking part fell, We're par
ticularly good in that each word spoken
by them was clearly enunciated and |
heard plainly by everyone, helping |
in allowing the listeners
to follow the intricacies of the plot.
n which magic spells, fairy wands and
elf1sh pranks played a considerable
share.
The principals in the cast We're:
Rose, Queen of Fairies. Bina Neiper

The manner, as well as the pidgin Eng

truly comic Chinese, thus giving a
welcome break between the heavier
numbers of the program.
The evenings entertainments closed

O Liloa."

This carries us back possibly to the
great Waipio gulch where was the pae-
pae of Liloa, father of the celebrated
Uni, renowned in story and song.
All knowledge, all strength of char
acter lies before the young Between
them and what they seek, lies the pave
ment over which step by step they
must go if they would enter into the
sacred precincts of knowledge and
goodness beyond. The girls at the
Priory are trained to walk not only
on the pavement which leads to knowI-
edge but on that which leads to good
ness and to God. They are taught that
to be a good woman is far better than
to be a woman having much knowledge.
In addressing the graduates he said:
You have been encouraged to think
and to read, but above all you have
been taught to be. To be a woman in
all that word means to God and to a
true man. The word woman has IL it
all the love, the devotion, the sacrifice
and the charm of the human race. This
is what woman has when she strives
and stands on the great wide altar
stairs that lead sometimes through
pain and darkness up to light and God.
HE continued: I have come across
'oitiO SoliouS liIlllS IN my study OF your
motto. The story of Uni is probably
known to you. He had been trained in
MS boyhood in all that an alii should
know and be. When his mother in
him to go and claim Liloa as
his father, Uni did so with determine
tlon and courage. He went on until he
climbed the pa kapu," the forbidden
or sacred wall. He went on until he
crossed the .'paepae kapu," the forbid
den threshold and entered into the pres
ence of the king his father.
Inc lesson is, recognize that you are
q daughter of God. Go on despite ey-
cry obstacle, in the sense of your heri-
tage. Go on, ever keeping before YOU
the vision of the King and of your reIa- |
ton to Him until you stand in His
presence.
AT the close of the address the diplo- |
mas were given and then the graduates |
were the recipients of many fora, ifrs |
Later an adjournment was made to |
the Priory where the graduates receiv- |
ed their friends and where refresh |
nents were served. The course at the /
frlory approximates a high school |
course in addition to the learning of |
many arts IN a woman's life.
