MOTHER SCHOLASTICA
Her Death Takes Place at Duluth Aft
er Long Illness.

Rev. Mother Scholastica Kerst, SUI
perior of the Benedictine Sisters Of
Duluth since the foundation of the
order in this diocese, died Sunday aft
ernoon at Ills after an illness of six
months, says the Duluth News Tri-
bune of the 18th inst
Her death marks the close of a
beautiful and devoted life, given from
it's early years to the welfare of 9TH
ers, and of especial value to Duluth.
To the many to whom it was given
to know her personally she was rec
ognized as a broad minded, large
hearted and thoroughly unselfish ma
turc, while her work here and else
where attested also her good judg-
ment, great business capacity and an
energy that stopped at no obstacle in
the way of a righteous cause.

and settled in St. Paul the same year.
At the age of Is Mother Scholastica
joined the Benedictine Sisterhood at
Shakopee, Mimi, soon after it's foun-
dation at that place. In 1873 her Ia
bors were transferred to st. Benedict's
convent, St. Joseph Mimi, which was
the Benedictine mother-house of the
ST. Cloud diocese. At that time the
institution was poor and laboring I'M
der many difficulties. A new initiative
was given by the appointment of Moth
er Scholastic as superior in 1880. I'm
der her direction the first boarding
academy was opened up and new
buildings erected for both academy
and convent. Soon after, at the ear
nest request of ecclesiastical supe-
riors, the sisters began to devote
themselves to the charitable work Of
conducting hospitals, and hospital
was opened by them at Bismarck, N.
D., in 1885, one at st. Cloud in 1886,
and st. Mary's hospital in Duluth in
1888.

THE TARIFF ISSUE

AS the time for the mex. session of
Congress draws near it becomes more
clearly evident that the question of
tariff reduction will occupy the Iromi-
nent position which was held by the
reciprocity question at the special SEES
sion. Mr.. Taft vetoed the tariff bills
passed at the last session because he
considered that the facts at the dis
posal of the trainers of those bills
were not sufficiently comprehensive to
enable them to frame intelligent tariff
legislation. He admitted that the pres
ent tariff law has many imperfec-
tons, but considered that, on the
whole, it would be better to defer re-
vision until the coming session when
the report Of the tariff commission
The Irish standard., 1911-10-21

, will be at the disposal of Congress.
The Presidents refusal to sign the
bills passed at the special session has
] not particularly endeared him to those
who voted for those measures. AS a
consequence he will find it harder to
foist the ideas Of his tariff com:S;.-
sion on them, especially since the
members of this commission are not
considered particularly expert in that
line OF work. Should the report OF
the tariff commission be such as to
favor protective tariff, it will not re.
ceive much consideration at the hands
OF the democrats. 1t is not probable
that a bill embodying the protective
principle will be passed at the next
session. Mr.. Taft is pledged to sus-
tain the principle of protection. What
then will be the result? If the Presi-
dent signs a tariff bill which does not
embody the principle of protection he
VIII depart from a fundamental tenet
o. Republicanism; if he does not sign
the bill passed by the next session.
his chances of reelection will be very
materially diminished. Before the end
or the next session the President will
be confronted by dilemma, neither
norm of which will be very attractive,
The coming session will determine
the issues ton which the next cam
paign will be fought. The defeat of
reciprocity in Canada leaves that
question out of the possible issues
which will arise. 1t will doubtless bob
up again at some future time, but not
until the sentiment in Canada under
goes vast change. The failure of the
bill will, therefore, not effect in any
serious degree Mr.. Taft's chances of
reelection, nor will it help the cause
OF the progressves.
The Democrats, on the other hand.
Will not lose support because of the
failure of the reciprocity bill. Their
attitude on the tariff question should
appeal to the masses of the people.
They have already proven that they
mean to reduce the tariff if given an
opportunity. If they nominate a cam
d!date who can win the confidence of
the people, a man who is not trust
owned and controlled, a man who be-
lieves in progressiveism but not rad
ioalism-if such a man can be nom
mated without causing a breach in the
party, they Will s.bc given an oppor-

responded to by J. F. 7. O'Connor of
Grand Forks. N. D., formerly associate
professor of oratory at Yale univer-

back to the days of Paganism and
spoke of the gradual development of
religion, first through the Jews who
took up the education of their young
with view of teaching them that
there was a higher order of things
than the mere state. He outlined the
progress of religion from the earliest
times and spoke of the good that the
organization is doing along the lines
of advancement in this respect.
