the boys and girls of the grammar
and high school departments in man
ual training, art, writing and type
writing were placed on exhibit at the
Hampton School and there was a
large crowd Of friends and patrons of
the schools to visit the buildings dur
ing the afternoon to see the exhibits.
IA the Washington school the exhibits
Of the work of the primary depart
ment grades in these same branches
were to be seen in the rooms Of the
building. the whole being a large and
interesting exhibit of the school work.
The exhibit was probably the larg-
est and best which the school has
yet made, showing the advance which
has been made in the departments
since they were inaugurated under q
special teacher two years ago. The
large number of persons who visited
the exhibit during the afternoon were
specially pleased with it and many
comments Of q highly complimentary
nature were to be heard on all sides
respecting the work Of, the high
school and grammer school pupils.
During the afternoon the visitors
were entertained with music by pupils
of the high school and refreshments
were served by the pupils and teach
ers.
The exhibits consisted of the work
OF the business department of the
school, a department for the eleventh,
grade pupils especially. This work
was we'll and neatly done and showed
painstaking care on the part OF the
pupils and teacher. The stenciling.
embroidery and rafia work. was along
lines as pssSi0ns SsaSs, 1.-The
embroidery work showing up decid-
edly we'll. Baskets, mats of many
shapes and designs were to be seen on
all sides and all of them indicated
that the children had grasped the idea
OF the teacher. The penmanship ex-
hibits Of the Palmer method students
were numerous, various in design and
showed O. great deal of effort and
training of the pupils. The little silk
and rafia handbags were especially
pretty. The albums and other articles
OF handwork were uniquely gotten up
and highly creditable to the pupils.
The designs in water colors were as
numerous as on former exhibits and
some Of them were Of higher class
of work than any seen, heretofore.
The exhibits at the Washington
school Of the work OF the primary
departments covered a wide assort-
ment of ideas and designs. Writing,
painting. designing. drawing work
with scissors and paste were a small
part of the things represented in the
prettily decorated rooms and of which
both pupils and teachers might Justly
feel extremely proud.
The department Of art and manual
training Is one which undoubtedly
teach the pupils originality and which
Is one which is pleasing to the pupils
and the class of work turned out is
OF kind Of which any school should
feel proud.

has always favored subventiOnS and

ping.
Favors Determinations.
ut was through discriminating tar
III duties that our merchant marine
was developed in the first three dec
AIDES of our governments existence.
The Democratic tariff law that Is now
on the statute books carries in it a
discrimination amounting to reduc-
ton of five per cent of the duties on
goods imported in American ships.
"If we have built the canal for the
benefit of an American merchant
marine and not for the practical ex-
elusive use of foreign shipping, we
must adopt policy of discrimination
in favor of American ships, or we
must in the end pay indirect subsidies
to enable our ships to compete with
ships of foreign nations. The sub
sides and determinations that Euro
pean governments have given to their
shipping interests have practically
driven American ships from the seas.
Platform Patriotic.
For the reasons given | belive that
the Democratic party was both wise
and patriotic when 1t announced a
policy in favor of discriminating in
favor of coastwise ships going through
the Panama Canal and that there Is
no reason at this time why we should
abandon a solemn Eg,~2SS,Sq made to
the American people in one of the
most prominent planks in our party
platform. ..--.
But we are told that we are VIC
lating a solemn treaty made with an
other nation and in good faith that we
should abandon the canal to foreign
rivals without contest or dispute, in
order that we may keep our standing
in the family of nations.
Not for one moment do | believe
that we have violated treaty right
and not for one moment do believe
that the English government serious
ly contends that we have violated a
treaty right. Our whole difficulty in
the matter arises from the un-Ameri-
can spirit of surrender that some of
our own people have exhibited toward
this important question from the very
beginning.

tons. If these products in being
shipped to San Francisco via Mobile,
Gulfport or New Orleans, thence by
steamers through the Panama Canal
had to suffer the payment of $1.2O per
ton toll, then necessarily the transpor-
tation charge would be $4,000 more
than it would be if they could go
through the canal free of tolls. You
know that IL this $4,000 additional
charge is imposed on these products
when shipped through the Panama
Canal, that the railroads can compete
with the steamers to that extent that
they will exact higher charges from
the people,"
Mr. Harrison warned his colleagues
that if they acquire in England's re-
quest for the repeal of the exemption
provision of the canal act, by that
action they would forever estop this
government from asserting the right
to exempt its coastwise vessels from
the payment of tolls, and would give
to that nation the right to say what
should or SHOULD not be done with re.
spect to the regulation and control Of
the Panama Canal.
Have we spent $4OO,OOO,OOO in
vain?" he asked. Are we to receive
no benefits from it? Did we inau-
gurate such a wonderful work-the
most wonderful piece of engineering
of all time-assume the risk, achieve
success in the undertaking, merely
now to surrender our control over it
and rights in it? Be not deceived,
those of you who vote for this repeal
bill will some day have that act rise
to plague YOU"
This nation fought valiantly and
paid dearly for its independence"
said Mr.. Harrison in conclusion.
Since that time we have grown enor-
monsly and prospered immeasureably.
We have, by our stand for humanity
and the right in defending at all times
our national honor and integrity, won
the respect of all nations. Are we
now to bow in humble humility to
Great Britain? For my part, as much
as | admire our distinguished Presi-
dent, as much as | want to be with
him in all his policies, cannot recon
cile my conscience to his view and
surrender to Great Britain a principle
of national honor and integrity.
