TARIFF UNCERTAINTIES.

The tariff news from washington
is of a very uncertain character, and
no one seems to know just when
congress is likely to adjourn or what
to expect in the way of real tariff re-
vision. 1t seems to be generally
agreed that the republicans in the sen
ate are only juggling with schedules
in order to change them rs much in
appearance as possible, without
changing any in character 1t is re-
ported that President Taft is getting
tired of the Aldrich program, aIlu
that he is seriously considering the
necessity of taking hand in doing
what he can to get revision down.
ward, as he seems to be satisfied that
the senate policy does not mean any
real relief to the consuming public.
The fact that there is not a solid
minority proposing some kind OF a
measure, along the line of former
democratic declarations, makes 1t
a harder task for the republicans who
are really anxious to revise the tariff
downwards. We now have the unus-
ual example of supposed tariff reloi -.
ers from the South putting forth every
effort possible to maintain high pro
lection for industries in the locality
in which they live.
The News feels sure that there eau
be a revision downward that will not
paralyze the manufacturing interests
of the United States, but whatever is
done should be done quickly, as all
lines of business are waiting for a
settlement of this question, and the
worst of it is business has been walt
ing for eighteen months for return
of normal conditions, and it is impor'
tant that the uncertainties be re-
removed at once.

TO THE FRONT.

AATTIESBURG TO THE FRONT.
The News is delighted to note that
Hattiesburg got there in the state
spelling match, which occurred at Nat
chez yesterday, and the city is under
many obligations to Prof. Woodley for
the inspiring efforts he has put forth
to make that success possible. The
achievement of the winning team may
not have a direct monetary value, but
the pride that it will inspire in our
schools will be great benefit and 1t
will lead to greater efforts in other
fields of endeavor. Our educational adj
yantages are counted one of the val
liable assets of our city, and they have
grown in value in Hattiesburg since
our girls and boys went to Natchez.

There is much carelessness about
sendin out storm news and but httie
thought of the real significance OF the
storms. AS a matter of fact storms
are reported as cyclones, that nave no
such character. The real truth ABOUT
the matter is that people are killed
because they live in houses that are
not constructed to stand an average
severe storm. These houses are only
thrown together to start with and arter
a few storms they are SO rackeo tna'
they are veritable death traps. TniS
Is the reason why there are SO many
storm fatalities among the colored pop
ulation. If more attention were given
to building houses with view 10
making them Withstand the storms
there would be less cyclones reported

lSSdSy VI SOOu uCCuS, WHOSE
memories cannot be dimmed by
times corrosive hand. To the
noble men and women, whose
names are legion, members of re-
ligious orders who have passed
away, we tender today sincere
aloha. Each and all of them have
added their contribution to our
success here.
On coming into this school you
will note that the only banner that
flies to the breeze is Our country's
flag, the Stars and Stripes, and it
is right that it should be so, for
in all earthly affairs there is no
dual allegiance here. This is an
American school, whose watch
words will be Faith and Father
land-a faith whose fundamentals
teach us to love our neighbors
and Our God, patriotism that
teaches us to love Our country, to
preserve it's institutions, to keep
Our leaders honest, virtuous and
true.
To the church all over the is
lands the opening of this school
is an suspicious occasion, to those
gathered here it is time for great
rejoicing. To the Sisters of the
Sacred Hearts it is something
more, more than word can tell or
heart conceive. To them it is
victory over adverse circum-
stances, it is a reward of years of
toll, sacrifice and untiring labor,
and we'll may their hearts rejoice
and we with them, for here on the
heights above the sea another
cross has been raised, the symbol
of mans redemption, the only
sign whereby man can be saved,
that all may see and know that
within these walls Christian
truths and virtues will ever en-
dure.

and hands. Theirs is a long and
burdensome day, which starts at
daylight and ends only when the
time comes for repose. This
school, with the exception of
donation made by the late August
Dreier and one by Mrs. Allen,
represents the savings of fifty
years, and when we contemplate
the great work that has been done
here, the obstacles that had to be
surmounted and the humble in
struments by which it has been &C
complished, we are filled with adj
miration and under God must ac-
cord the Sisters the highest need
of praise. To the charge that the
Sisters methods of teaching are
not UP to the times we would an
swer that this is one of those
vague generalities whose reitera-
ton may impress fools but can
have no weight with thinking
men. The Sisters are not only
highly educated, but are eminent
ly fitted for the training of chill
dren. They come from refined
and cultured homes, and their sys-
tenn of teaching is the product OF
centuries, improved as the years
roll by. 1t has stood the test of
time, and the best evidence of its
worth is found in their schools,
their graduates and number of
their pupils. In the erection of
schools, the number of pupils at
tending and the good deeds they
have done, the Sisters deserve
we'll of the people of this Terri
tory. Their school not only re-
lieves the taxpayer of heavy bur-
den but they are also an abiding
element for good in the commit
nifty.
The residents of Kaimuki are
to be congratulated in having this
school in their midst. AS chastc
and stately piece OF architecture
it is notable addition to the dis
trict. 1t brings school facilities
close to their very doors and its
refining influence must work for
the social. moral and intellectual
welfare of the people.
In the ceremonies here today
we in a measure reap where
others have sown and so it is meet
that we for few moments dwell
reverently on the names and
memories of those noble workers
who have gone before. The name
and memory of Bishop Hermann

be ever green in Catholic hearts,

era along lines of noblest endeav-
or, for here, irrespective of creed,
is impaired to all who desire, an
education embracing the highest
ideals, an education that not only
fits Our children for the duties and
responsibilities of this life but also
for that greater life that lies be-
You'd the tomb.
Education is one of the most
important, vital and far-reaching
questions that can absorb the
public mind 1t is especially so in
this great land where freedom is
the birthright of all, where every
avenue of advancement is open to
those who try, and where every
citizen is bound to do his part in
the duties and responsibilities Of
government. If we are to survive
as great republic and to keep
our place as leader amongst the
nations, then Our people must be
educated, educated along patriotic
and moral lines, and when | speak
of education, I include both men
and women. To the latter it is
perhaps of greater Importance, for
the woman of character and edit
cation is the strongest power for
good we have, and her influence
is supreme in eyery Christian
land.
My friends, at this time I wish
to call your attention to an opin-
ion prevalent among some few in
this Territory as regards Our
church, the sisters and their
schools. 1t is claimed that the
church is wealthy in money and
in lands, and consequently the sis
tiers must be wealthy, too. 1t is
also said that their system Of
teaching is not abreast of the
times.
Those charges from whatever
source they have emanated, or for
whatever reason they are made, I
have no hesitation in branding as
false and libelous.
The church here is poor, speak

is poor-so poor that it can not

listers, in the country districts.
The priest acts as his own clerk,
cook and sexton, and I have seen
the birds of the air build their
nests above his humble cot. The
sisters are poorer still, They have

It incurrs. The fireplace should. Of course.
