LoNpoN, July 26.-All of to.day's papers
print comments upon the punishment in
tiicted upon Private Iams at the orders of
Northumberland Streator, commanding
the Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment now
stationed at Homestead for proposing
three cheers for the man who shot and
stabbed Mr.. H. G. Frck, chairman Of the
Carnegie Steel Company on Saturday last.
All assert that if the colonel of an Eng
lish regiment treated n private in his COM
mand as Lieutenant-eolonel Streator
ordered lpms to be treated he would have
been court-martialed and dismissed from
the service.
The 50. James Gazette regards the incident
as an illustration of the ever widening
difference between the American and
British characters, and says "'rhe punish
ment was more merciful than shooting,
the fate which Ialns deserved. Neyertbe.

the last census period. The whole pc
Rod was covered by laws passed in
furtherance OF the policy OF protec-
ton. II s not surprising that the re-
Gently issued census bulletin should
show that the percentage of increase IN
wages pad reached 220.Ol per cent for
the ten yeas. or that tor every 81 paid
M wages IN 1880, $3.50 was paid in 1890.
That IS Just what protectionists have
been claiming for protection while
democrats have been declaring that
protection il q fraud.

significant object lesson, that the in-

Extending the hns OF argument adj

taken from tho newspaper Offices OF

FROM OBERLIN COLLEGE.
Prof. John M. Ellis Discusses Its Aims
and Purposes.


Prof. John NJ. Ellis, for the past
thirty years instructor IN Greek NJ
Oberlin College, Is in the city and oc-
cupled the pulpit at the Park Congre-
gauonal church yesterday. While here
ne is guest of DR.. Eugene Bolce. who
was formerly a student At Oberlin.
Prof. Ellis was seen by reporter for
The HERALD and talked Interestingly
on various subjects. Among other
things, ne said: "Oberlin College was
founded sixty years ago in the interest
vi the liberal education for the masses,
and 1t has had n remarkable develop
ment and growth until 1t now has
| 800 students or more. We have the
illogical course, besides our regular col
leglato courses, comprising classical
philosophical and scientific, and a con-
servatory of music with twenty IN
structors. Altogether We have about
sixty professors aud instructors.
"Our preparatory department., or
academy, rs tits called, is a scnool for
general education and ranks with the
best academies III the country. 1t has
about 500 pupils st the present time.
There are number of oberlln grad
yates IN this city now. DIR. Bolce,
whose guest | am, is one, the Rev. Dan
+. Bradley snd the Rev. Leonida,
Davis, of the First Presbyterian church,
and Prof. Swensberg are others.
We realize that moral tone, earnest
moral purpose and religious character
are essential and their advancement
are features of the institution.
DR.. Charles G.. Finney, the great
evangelist, famous both in England
and America, was graduate of ODER
lin and although he has passed beyond
his influence is still with us. O.. r
Wright, author of the "IceAge." and
an authority on the action of ice, wa:
also with us. We believe that educa
ton and religion should not be separa.
ted. The moral side of human being,
IS the most important and should no
be neglected. At the same time II
public schools no sect should hav,
control. 1t is II great problem how tC
so dispose of the public schools as t
have the moral side kept right and we
have no sectarianIsts.
Oberlin was first organized as an anti
slavery school aud has always beer
strongly republican, bat the temper
ance question has divided it of late, al.
though many think the temperance OF
prohibition question can be best settled
10y the use of the republican party"

The Rev. Charles tluntef Of the Uni
yeFsalst c8uIcD chose ''Columbus" for

Hs tsxs VS. PsAlins eyli, 1924: They
tn2t go down u sea 10 snIps. that do
business ID great waters. these see the
WORKS OF the Lord aud ms wonders n
the deep" After explaining the social
and religious cond tons OF the day.
Or. FluhroT gave hIs ideas Of the mo-
tlyes that prompted Columbus TO make
nls voyage. lie thought fisst OF all u
was a selfish motive, WISH u advance
bimselI. This was perfectly natural.
All great deeds II men we're hrst
Prompted To- selfish desires. For this
reason Or. Fiuhrer did not think social
Ism would ever succeed IN this world.
The almighty dollar, money. Was an
other tang that caused Columbus 10
make the voyages. Money had prompt
ed many men TO great deeds. Column
Gus was great navigator. lie was not
great administrator OF affairs Ia the
lands discovered. TINS proved that all
men OF genius have their limitations.
IL was Columbus great boldness aud
perHstency IN advocating his theory
before the provinces OF the country
that led 10 his final success. lie was
al first, no doubt, prompted by sordId
desires to make the great undertaking,
but IT was largely his desire to carry
religion To the Indies and to find n
short route to the tomb OF the Savior
that he might accomplish what Godfrey
and Baldwin had failed To accomplish.
The results were not what CUlumbus
desired but the results were even greater
than those be desired.
