Keep the Gas on-General Horatio q
King, guest at the republican club din
ner to Mayor -elect Low, did not expect to
speak. but General Tremain, the master
Of ceremonies, did introduce him. Gem
eral King arose and said that while he had
not expected to say anything publicly,
lon gexperience in public speaking had
taught him to apply in his own life the
paraphrase of certain verse OF Scrip
ture made by little girl Of his ao-
quaintance.
The little girl was in a Sunday school
class and had been coached to quote to
her teacher on the following Sunday the
verse, Let your light shine.s By fre-
quently repeating 1t to her the child
seemed to get the words indelfbiy In her
memory. When the time came to repeat
the verse to her teacher, however. 1t had
faded from the child's mind. She thought
for some time. Then her face bright

"I have it," she said. "The verse is.

Warming Up,

Now comes the maximum and minimum
tariff revision theory, The more the mer-
rier. The harder the pot boils the sooner
will there be something doing This is the
time when every idea and fevery talker
possessed OF an idea is welcome. The
president says reform the tariff by a
tariff commission, The Iowa republicans
are determined to knock out schedules that
shelter trusts Some favor tariff reform
altogether by means of reciprocity Some
favor tariff reform in itself, but don't re-
gard it is means Of inserting knife into
the vital parts Of dangerous combinations.
Out OF all this clash and clarnor there
will result some definite change In present
schedules-if the republican party is still
the party Of progress.
There are some encouraging signs that
the tariff question. even outside repub-
lican ranks, is now becoming one Of de-
gree rather than principle. The demo
Gratis in some states recognize the es-
sential principle Of protection. Here are
the democrats Of New York crying for
tariff revision, but insisting on retaining
duties that protect the American work
man. Well, the duty that protects the
American workman protects the American
manufacturer. .i IS
But there is a long hard fight ahead be-
fore the industries that were nursed in in
fancy by excessive protection can be
whipped into an amiable readiness to ac-
icept what they are entitled to and nc

"'Tf1e Night Before Christmas" at the
. -z- s..: Bijou.
= When "The Night Before Christmas
appeared at the Bijou last season, the
opinion was expressed in this column that
the play was calculated to beget disre-
spect for law and to bring the courts of
the country into disrepute among unthink-
ing theater-gores It. presents the spec
stacle Of a father. compelled to preside as
judge at the trial of his own son. It re-
lates the conviction Of that son under
evidence that should have resulted in his
triumphant acquittal And finally it shows
us the father passing sentence Of death
upon the prisoner. Such a combination
Of circumstances could exist nowhere in
the civilized world; and the lesson taught
must, Of necessity, be meretricious.
From here the play went to Milwaukee,
where a Milwaukee paper commented Sc
verely upon The J urnal's criti-
cism and devoted a column and a half to
an interview with an unnamed ''promi-
nent attorney who was made to say that
there was nothing untruthful, or even i'm
probable, In the situation described. At
the same time the writer of the article
declared "The Night Before Christmas
to be Milwa;ukee's favorite play. Well
Milwaukee's taste-in beer-is unques-
toned.
Apart from this theme, however, "The
Night Before Christmas, is undeniably a
strong melodrana. It's story, though
thoroughly artificial, is interesting; and
it has been constructed by man who
we'll understands the value of dramatic
climaxes. Moreover, its characters are
well drawn and it's situations excellently
,contrived to set the gallery in a storm of
noisy approval
There have been few changes in the cast
and the members Of the company are
abundantly capable of handling the work
assigned them to do. Edward H. Marker,
an old actor of sterling reputation, plays
a blind fiddler delightfully."-; and Elmer
Grandin handles the role Of the Judge
with nice discretion. James B. Martin
contributes an amusing impersonation of
a country lawyer, and James e. Nichols
is excellent as country pumpkin. OF
the women, Alice Clifton Is deserving OF
praise for a pretty, unaffected impersona- :
tion of the poor farm waif. The Incl

be omitted.
