The Sacred Concert.

The Sacred Concert at the German
Evangelical church Wednesday even
ing was the finest musical entertain.
ment ever presented in this city.
1t is seldom that a city of the size
of Plymouth secures the very best
talent in a musical line, but Max Kill
ian, w. Preston MacHenry and Mrs.
Adolph Mohn are simply wonders in
their specialties.
Mr.. Killian IS wonderful performance
on the pipe organ excited the surprise
and admiration of the audience, and
those present began to understand
why and how the old masters produced
music that thrilled immense audien-
ces hundreds of years ago. The mu-
sic that is in an organ needs a master
hand and mind to bring it out and
produce the tones that thrill the SOUL
Mrs. Adolph Mohn IS presentation of
German music has seldom been ex.
celled in the largest cities of the world
and Mr.. MacHenry'S solos will never
be forgotten.
The musicians of Plymouth who as
sisted in the concert seemed inspired
by the occasion and covered tnem-
selves with glory.
The concert was not SO long as to
become monotonouS or tireSome and
the German church here is certainly
to becOngratulated on giving the cit
liens Of Plymouth a great musical
treat. The church was almost filled
by the lovers OF music but every inch
of available space ought to have been
taken.

Do.

Do, the shortest word in the Eng
lish language, and the easiest to pro-
nounce, tells the story of the conquest
called civilization
Too much can not be said of this
little word. for of it is made up the
chain called history. 1t is the link
connecting thought with its tangible
I,realization; the alchemist who IN the
past, crystalzing the fancieS of the
Imagination. has enriched the world
with the accumulated wealth of ages
An idea is great thing in itself
but it is practically barren until car
ried out.
1t is the doing which makes the
difference between the practical peo-
pie and the theorists. The latter are
full of ideas, good ideas, which if the
former do not have they borrow, an d
with which they do something.

acquired, to which one readily becomes
accustomed and which means getting
practical results.
Fortunately, unlike many good hab-
its, it can be acquired at any age.
The centenarian, by doing, may be.
come force and escape back from
nonenity into life; age is less matter
of years than will and habits.
The world is looking for the people
who do-rhey are the only people the
world has any use for or who are Of
any use TO the world
Do, do it, and do it now, is as holy
a commandment as has ever been CIV
en-: all past progress is reflected there
in and all future promise.
Ideas, purposes and expectations
are. at the most, but uncoined bull
lion. they can be realized upon only
after passing through the mint of hu-
man energy. Coin them and put them
to use, make them effective, available

The gubernatorial campaign has
reached the acute stage, where the ri
val forces are watching each other
like hawks and where the slightest
evidence of gain made by one candi-
date sets the friends of the other
three scurrying to and fro to learn
what's up and to bring about some
thing that will make an equally
strong showingfor their favorites. 1t
is decidedly the band-wagon stage Of
the contest, and the undecided repub-
lican is given four different lines of
argument to convince him that there
is but one real-for-sure band wagon.

War and Sympathy"

More or less talk is heard about the
sympathies of various nations being
with either Japan or Russia in their
conflict. 1t has been said the sym
pathy" of the people of the United
States is with Japan. France is sup
posed to be on the side of Russia, and
England on that of Japan.
Sympathy is word wrongly applied
in such case. There is nothing
beautiful about this war. The con-
flict is one of the most mercenary and
sordid in history. There is not SIM
gle element of greatness or patriotism
in it.
Russia wants to steal Manchuria
from China, and later to gOb5le up
China if she can. Japan wants to
steal Korea and to gain the aScen-
dancy over China. 1t is selfish, and
if it were a battle between individuals
instead of nations. they would both
be arrested as thieves.
England is in sympathy with Japan
because she hates Russia AMI has land
grabbing schemes of her own. France
is for Russia because she hates Eng
land and because of political reasons.
But why there should be any "sym-
pathy' in this country one way or
the other is difficult to understand.
Such wars are drawback to civil
ization. The conflicts in which this
country has been engaged have been
wars of principle. ard even they were
bad enough. Indianapolis Star.

We have repeatedly stated in these
colum ms that the habit of courts of
appeal of entertaining exceptions has
gone to such an extent with us that
in New York State alone less than
per cent. of the murderers tried are
punished, the remainder going free on
technical points. We have indeed IN
this country come too often to regard
law not as substantial thing to pro-
tect society, but code for sharp
practice.

Men 60 TO the Klondike for gold;
