WASHINGTON. March 16.-Tha
Wilson administration has been IN
control of the government Just about
two weeks. During the twelve days
in Washington everybody has been
watching intentiy each move at the
White House. and in the big execu-
tive departments, and all have reacf~
ed the same conclusion--that Wood~5
row Wilson and his advisers have
made good start. There is no sim
gle act. or feature of the new ad-
mnistration, that can be pointed a.
chiefly responsible for this opinion
II is the general tone of the new re-
gime that has made a deep impress
sion on Washington observers.
When MIR. Wilson entered the White.
House Washington had prepared it,
self for something radical, or at least
theatrical, but 1t has been disappoint-
ed. AS a matter of fact, the coming
of Woodrow Wilson and the Dem0~5
Gratis has been as tame and as SEM
sble as anyone could have wished.
Generally Conservative.
The most pleasing feature OF the
new administration to many Is til
general conservatism.
President Wilson's cabinet has made
a distinctly favorable impression on
Republicans, as well as Democrats,
here. The general verdict is that on
the average it is equal in ability to-
that Of President Taft.
Outside of the president hiHselfl
Mr.. Bryan as secretary of state has
been the most closely watched of the
new figures at the national capital.
But up to this time about the only
thing that can be said of the Conn
moner is that he has kept his mouth
shut tight.
Why Did Bryan Accept.
The one unanswered question that
Is agitating Washington now mere
than ever Is. Why has Bryan accept6ds

President Wilson'S close friends be-
lieve firmly that Bryan lis looking
ahead TO become a candidate in 1916

hold Wilson TO the one-term pledge
of the Baltimore platform.
President Wilson'S appointment

Rev. j. j. Wicker In sermon at
Leigh street Baptist church last
night, in which he strongly advocated
the abolition of capital punishment,
and charged society with many OF the
crimes of individuals,
AT the same time. in another pull
pit another pastor was preaching on
the immutabiIity of the law of God.
and declaring that sympathy for the
criminal and aid for the pauper were
often the means of continuing the
one in his course, and making the
other what he is. This was DR.. w. j.
Young, the pastor of Centenary Meth
odist church. who contended that
heredity and environment have much
to do with crime. but that neyerthe-
less punishment should be inflicted
and that society has no right to make
criminals by condoning crime. We
need the strong, robust sympathy that
aids a man, keeps him in the path OF
righteousness, and that helps him
without relieving him of the result Of
his transgression. rather than the
weak sympathy that coddles and
exalts the criminals he said.
Punishment Necessary.
DR. Wicker declared that "crime Is
an accident" while DIR. Young held
that, although ii may be made easy,
II is mans own doing and that the
law of righteousness cannot be broken
without consequent punishment. Dr.
Young did not decry charity and SYM
pathy and forgiveness. On the con-
trary he extoiled all three, but plead
trary, ne extolled all three. but plead
right kind of sympathy and for the
forgiveness that does not condone. and
does not mean relief from due pun
ishment for crime.
Referring. incidentally. to the Allen
case In that portion of his sermon In
making hero of criminals, DR..
Young paid a tribute to Judge Thorn
ton Massie. who was murdered by the
Aliens one year ago last Friday. To
the young especially, he said we APP
pear to laud criminals and make of
them heroes, while the great and good
men are forgotten at the moment, he
said. "One year ago noble judge sat
in a courtroom in this State, and did
his duty and died for II. but the
splendor OF that mans deed Is forgot
ten. Who talks about 1t now?"
In advocating the abolition OF capt.
tai punishment DR.. Wicker said that
the death dealing apparatus of the
State should be destroyed and just as
the home for paupers is called "the
City home" and the free hospital,
THE Sheltering Arms" we should
call the penitentiary the state Home

CHURCH MINISTER ON POVERTY
AND CRIME.
THE WORDS IN SAND
DIR. MACLACHLAN's fNTERPRETA-
TON OF CHRIsT~S REBTKE TO
THOSE sToSISG THE
SHINING WOMAN.

I One Of three ministers who preach
/ ed last night on sin and crime and
the responsibility therefor, but APP
preaching the subject from a some
what different angle from that of the
others. was DIR. II. d. c. Maclachian.
OF the Seventh-Street Christian
church, who took as his text the
words Christ wrote I'm the sand, when
the SHINING woman was attacked by
1.-THE mob. let him that Is without
sin among you cast the first stone.
! DR. Maclachlan's subject was The
Sins of Society,"" and in his sermon he
undertook to show the responsibility
OF society for crime and poverty. He
said that 1t seemed to him that the
common interpretation of Christ's
words is not altogether satisfactory,
| and that he meant as much to rebuke
society as the individuals composing
the mob. I'VE have generally taken
Christ's rebuke to mean that some of
the women's accusers had themselves
been guilty of the same sin as the
woman" he said, but l think the
Lords words are capable of social as
well as individuallstic interpretation.
The Sins of Society.
Poverty, crime, the drink evil and
other troubles and misfortunes and
sins of the day were laid at the door
of society as well as to the individual
by the preacher. Speaking of the
drink evil he declared that the peo-
pie, as well as the individual are re-
sponsible. I'VE continue the manu-
facture. we continue the sale, We con-
time the iicense-ali under the sane
ton of government which Is of
the people. by the people, and for the
people Who then. but the people
are responsible and who are the 'peo-
Pile but you and / ii we are silent in
the face of this national sin? Let
him that Is without sin amongst us
cast the first stone at the drunkard.
Turning to the feuds and murders
of certain of our mountain sections
DIR. Maclachlan declared that they.
too, are largely of social origin and
carry a social obligation. He said
that these men are not criminals as
we understand the terms. They would
seorn to stoop to many of the shady
tricks that are practiced In the realms
of high finance, but are the victims of
heredity. and Of an environment that
knows not of the law OF more civil
lized communities. The question,
therefore, of his crimes" said he,
ARE questions largely of heredity and
environment, which are not to be
solved quite as simply as some peo-
pie think"
Throughout his sermon he made 1t
clear that he was not minimizing the
responsibility OF the individual. mere
ly pointing out the equal RESPONSE
bility of society.

TENDS TO DESTROY Our BELIEF
IN OURSELVES AND MAKES

TELLS HEARERS.

NEW YORK. March 16-William
C., Redtield, secretary of commerce,
speaking tonight at the Unity church.
Montclair N. j., on THE Tariff on
it's Human Side" declared his belief
in real, thorough, moderate and
balanced reduction of the tariff - THE
present tariff he said. has tended to
destroy our belief in our own powers.
to diminish our industrial self-re-
speCt,"
There can be little doubt" he said,
that one OF the human effects of the
hig htariff law is to make you all pay
more for what you buy, than your
English fellows.
The great employments in our
land that pay the highest wages get
no protection from the tariff laws.
If we enter within the walls of fac
tories we find the shoe industry with
almost the smallest Of our tariffs. pay
ing much higher wages than the
worsted industry In the same State
which has many times the duty to
protect it,
Farmers Do Not Need IT.
''It will hardly he commended" said
Mr.. Redfield. that our farmers can
not raise potatoes save for the high
duty, or that the government needed
the million or more which was col
iected in this single winter on pota-
toes.
1T seems to be a sad and shameful
thing that the food of the many
should have been taxed at many times
the highest rate known for any real
estate tax. ] think too highly of our
farmers to believe that they would
desire, much less claim, that such a
condition was necessary for their pro-
lection"
Speaking of the result of the tariff
from the moral side Secretary Red
field said:
1T has led to a certain kind of
business cowardice, a lack of eff
ficiency to a weaking of initiative,
and worst of all, to belief that bust
ness success is the end of the law and
the big purpose of the government.
Industrial Aristocracy.
From this last have arisen certain
unconscious but real class distinctions
tending to create an Industrial aris-
tocracy. The tendency had found it's
supreme expression in the gigantic
combination known to us all as
trusts"
MANY of these men who form the
privileged class know nothing OF
what can be done by competition If
proper field for 1t were opened up
said Secretary Redfield.
America needs freedom from the
dominance of the dollar" said Sec
rotary 'Redfield. in conclusion. THE
tariff on its human side has meant
too much lof financial aristocracy.

BLIND BOONE HERE

A large and most appreciatlve
audisnce assembled at the opera
house Thursday evening to enjoy
the concert given by the Blind Boone
Concert Co. In spite of the inclem-
ency of the weather, the opera house
was filled with those anxious to see
and hear Blind Boone-a rumor
that Blind Boone was dead and that
this was not the only original
Boone had been current to some de-
greo, but those who had previously
heard him and had the privilege Of
again hearing him on this occasion
had no doubts whatever in this re-
gard. Boone's marvellous skill at
the piano is a source Of enjoyment
to his hearers at all times. Misses
Emma Smith and Jessie Brosius
shared with Blind Boone the ap-
plause of the audience. Their sing
ing was excellent.
A feature of the program was the
calling for some one in the audience
to play a piece on the piano for
Boone to reproduce. G. Walter
Beach gave an excellent selection
a difficult one, too-and Boone re-
produced it in good s~tyle-not COM
pletely, however. He compliment
ed Mr.. Beach very highly upon his
musical ability, saying that Mans
field should be proud to claim as a
citizen an artist of such skill as Mr..
Beach manifested. Boone after
! wards told Mr., Beach that he would
be able to reproduce the selection
played after he had heard it two or
three times.
Our people are fortunate in hav-
ing the opportunity of attending
such entertainments as this one.
