A Delightful Comedy.

The recent great revival Of the
lighter Shakespearean drama is a
welcome relief from the monetony OF
modern plays, horseplay farce and
lurid melodramo.
After all, compared to the brilliant
and witty lines and situations of a
Shakespearean comedy, what do the
rapid Outpourings of the latter day
playwright amount to? What writer
of modern times has given US such
amuSementS as comes from witnessing
the drunken scene between the
bibulous knight, Sir Toby Belch, anC
his companion, Sir Andrew Agurcheek
in that overwhelmingly funny comedy
Twelfth Night" or the strut anC
boast of the conceited Malvolio in the
same play?
Truly, "Twelfth Night" gives u.
Shakespeare in his happiest vein
For this reason the approaching per
Torrance of this delightful comedy
by Mr., Joseph Shipman's clever
company of players is an event that
will be welcomed by all. and it is safe
to say that never has so much Interest
been aroused in any theatrical event
as in this one. The company will
appear at the Grand opera house

Appeals for Aid.

touching appeals from Christian
workers in the Far East have come to
prominent citizens of the United
States, imploring aid for the sick
and wounded soldiers Of both armies
and the multitude of destitute
widows and orphans of soldiers killed
in the war.
Rev. Y. Honda, principal Of the
Aoyama Theological School at Toxic,
Japan, in a recent letter says: GLOW
long this distressing condition OF
things will last we cannot say. The
people are doing their best and every
charitable agency is taxed to the
utmost. but so numerous have the
impoverished families become that
our means of immediate relief are
utterly inadequate. Could some
general fund be raised for this noble
purpose, and missionaries on the
ground be furnished with the means
of distributing and alternating the
distress of these families, it would
indeed be precious gift, and l assure
you never be forgotten"
We may not help beligerents, but
We may help the suffering and dis.
tressed. The Red Cross of Pity is
neutral in every cline, and the claims
OF helpless children are challenge
to Christian love and benefcence the
world over.
In response to the moving appeals
thus coming from Christian workers
in Japan, the japanese Relief Fund
has been organized to obtain TIE help
needed, and all funds contributed will
be distributed through the Evange.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates
All railroad men qualified Ii speak
on the subject in a responsible way are
dikely to agree with President Samuel
Spencer, of the Southern railway, whom
he says: There is no division Of opin-
ion as to the desirability Of stopping
all secret or unjustly discriminatory
devices and practices of whatsoever
character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of unjust
ly discriminatory rates and devices,
makes a distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates which
is just, reasonable and imperatively re-
quired by the complex commercial and
geographical conditions with which ex-
pert rate makers have to deal. To abol-
ish such open and honest discrimination
might paralyze the industries of cities,
states and whole sections of our national
territory.
This distinction between just and un-
just discrimination is clearly recognized
in the conclusions Of the International
Railway Congress, published yester-
day:
Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the CONNER
cial value of the services rendered. With
the reservation that rates shall be charged
without arbitrary discrimination to all
shippers alike under like conditions, the
making of rates should as far as possible
have all the elasticity necessary to permit
the development of the traffic and to pro-
duce the greatest results to the public and
to the railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr.. Walker
D. Hines, of Louisville, showed in his
remarkable testimony the other day
before the senate committee at Wash
ington, to crystalline flexible and justly
discriminatory rates into fixed govern
ment rates which cannot be changed
except by the intervention of some gov
ernment tribunal, and by this very
process to increase ''the temptation to
depart from the published rate and the
lawful rate in order to meet some over
powering and urgent commercial con-
dition. New York Sun.
