Former Congressman lands says in
order to make our navy effective we
must have a merchant marine. If ship
building is encouraged and If this in
dustry and other industries are put on
a correct fiscal and tariff basis 1t will
be easy to have a merchant marine.
Our famous old-time American mer-
chant marine died an unnatural death
as a result of too much high tariff.

President Taft has characterized the
administration of criminal law in this
country as a disgrace to civilization.
In San Francisco these words have an

should be needed.

Juvenile Opera

AS marvels in the training of young
children for appearance in public, the
B%enedictine Sisters have won additional
fame and the LARGE audience at the
Christmas juvenile opera in the opera
house Saturday evening wal especially
impressed with the excellent results Sc
cured from children who have not had a
very lengthy acquaintance with the
English language.
The several numbers on the program
would have been ambitious efforts for
children considerably more advanced in
years and education, but the little folks
were at home in their parts and acted
with. such self control that they rel
peatedly won the spontaneous applause
of every member of the audience.
After a well. rendered piano duet by
Myrtle Parker and Beryl Belden, two Of
the music pupils of the Sisters. fifteen
little children from the South Side gave
an amusing sketch. the grand baby
show. Each of the IA little girls. in
crisp aprons and caps, thought their

were numerous. Fancy marches were
introduced and the ease with which the
little folks handled their parts, made
this number q big hit.
Little Lamoine RAIDER. the daughter
of MI. and Mrs Lloyd RAIDER, COM
pletely won the hearts of everyone by
her very cunning recitation which she
gave without the least sign of any
stage fright.
A well executed drill by is young
ladies as eypsies, and q gypsy queen,
was especially effective. The poses and
movements were well executed and with
the bright colored costumes, all shin
ing with tinsel and spaneles and tink-
ling with bells. the drill was very at
tractive.
Following an excellent piano trio by
three of the music pupils, Carol Mcclure,
Emma Wagner and Margaret Scott, two
small boys, Joseph Scheeler and Eras-
mus Froehlich, gave a very amusing
sketch, The Troublesome Servant
They were perfectly at home in their
parts and their acting would have been
a credit to boys twice their age.
Another piano trio by Carol Mcclure.
Edna Tollefson and Frances Noll was
well received.
The program closed with a Christmas
operetta, Santa Claus Land in two
acts. with all the parts taken by the
children of the Benedictine parochial
school. About 80 children participated
in the play, and the costumes were all
appropriate and very elaborate, repre-
senting elves, brownies. frost fairies,
woodland fairies. busy bees and Japan
csc girls. Several songs and drills were
introduced. each being exceptionally
pleasing. The Sisters deserve a great
deal of credit for training the little
folks so carefully. Many of the actors
displayed much skill and there was
plenty of really amusing comedy.
In all respects the opera was very
successful and the Sisters realized a
good substantial sum for their work
in the South Side parochial school.

The postoffice bill carrying a total
OF over $232 100000. was passed by
the senate today after a very stormy
debate. during which Senator Pen
rose, in charge of the measure. made
an sngry assault upon Senator La
Toilette, who had entered into gen
eral criticism of the senate commit
tee because OF what he termed their
nnwarranted delay in reporting great
appropriation bills.
Mr.. La Toilette had at length
chided the senate with permitting q
gIut of important legislation 10 be
disposed of in haste during the las.
days OF congress. and had suggested
that il would be no calamity II all
Of these bills could not be acted upon
in regular session saying that re-
organization OF committees would al
low the special session to consider
them and other important legisla'
ton.
Responding in angry tones, Mr..
Penrose charged the senator from
Wisconsin with having failed to at
tend meetings OF committees WHEREOF
he was member. finally declaring
that his criticism sounded more like
the arguments made by a vender
of q patent medicine from the tail
