times the size of the ordinary nut and

that fairly illustrates the confidence

Northern people to invest in Missis-

 The vote today and its re- suit is the outcome of a long and bitter struggle between the two great cities, who were rivals for the honor.
 The Creicent Cityites who have been at the capitol since the beginning of the present session in the interest of their city, are very much elated over the action of the House, and are being warmly con- graduated by friends Of New Orleans from all sections of the country.

Though this announcement will not be
seen on the billboards throughout the
city, nevertheless dramatics will be giver
stronger support this year than ever
before by the school heads, according to
statements made by several of them yes
terday. sOf course, acting is not going to
usurp the place of the three RS in the
school curriculum, but more specific and
more systematic attention will be paid to
normal schools than ever since the first
public school opened its doors.
Two of the principal supporters of the
drama, as a means of developing the best
in the youths OF the city, will be DIR.
Davidson. superintendent of public
schools. and A. T. Stuart, director of in
termediate instruction. Two principles
both of these educators will firmly ad-
here to, however. concerning school plays
are, first, the plays must be of a high
type; second, the work of the actors,
though. maybe, amateurish, must also be
of a high type.
'The play must have the right feeling
back of it, said the superintendent yes
telday, and the boys and girls who
participate in them must keep high ideals
in mind. [ believe that by having
pupils act a play as well as studying it
they get a fuller meaning out of it than
they possibly could otherwise You may

role and you will probably see them in

liar character of the Investigations of the
tariff board is to compare its published
report on pulp and news-print paper
either with the statistical work of other
government agencies regarding this in
dustry or with the hearings before the
WAYS and means committee. 1t is shown
that this investigation does not in any
way duplicate the statistical work of the
other departments, but that its scope is
quite different, and yet the inveStiga ton
develops data essential to an understand

the tariff.
TT will also appear that the method of
investigation is quite different from that
of a congressional committee, and the
information afforded much more detailed
in character, and, on the other hand, is
much more condensed than the lnforma-
ton developed by the verbal examination
of witnesses. The work of the board up
to date in the way of detailed inquiry has
been through several dozen agents work

Hears Biased Testimony.

1T has been said that members of the
ways and means committee are them
selves experts on tariff matters. and
that they have had years of dealing with
tariff statutes. The character of the
Investigations made by members of the
ways and means committees Everybody
knows. 1t consists in calling men en-
gagged in the business and inviting their
opinion as to the necessity for A tariff
and as to whether 1t should be lowered
or raised Such Investigations are the
very ones which have met the criticism
of the public and have given rise to de-
mand for a more scientific and impartial
method of securing the facts upon the
legislation which is to be passed.
II do not contend that the tariff can
be taken out of politics, in the sense
that it will never be made the subject of
political discussion. Men differ radically
as to the economical wisdom OF protec-
tive tariff, or a tariff for revenue only.
and that must always be the subject of
POLITICAL discussion. But there is a
means of taking the ascertainment of
facts away from tribunal like that OF
the ways and means committee, which is
necessarily hurried In its inquiries and
necessarily lacking in thoroughness and
the temper necessary to reach the most
impartial conclusions 1t is possible to
transfer those Investigations heretofore
made by the ways and means and finance
committees to a tribunal which VIII make
thorough and impartial inquiry. | do
not mean to say that the tariff board
which I have appointed is constituted by
the best method possible. ! do not think
it is. l think it would be better to
have it appointed by the President. with
the confirmation of the Senate. ana 10
make it independent of the President and
of Congress as far as that may be posi-
BILE under our system. | do say that the
present board is as independent as any
board can be- but l admit that Its method

was capable, the establishment OF
permanent tariff commission, and l shall
urge upon the Congress, as long as IT Is
my function to do so, the establishment
by law of such a commission
But. meantime, Congress has enabled
me to organize the present commission.
They have shown by the work already
done how thorough their future work
will be and they have demonstrated by
what they have done that the material
which they will place before the Congress
and the executive in December with
reference to- schedules * and THAT is.
on woolens and on cottons-will be of
more valuable character and one from
which more valuable conclusions can be
drawn than any report Of the kind ever
