CoIumbia-"Iu Mizxoura."

In Mizzoura" which will be given its
first presentation at the hands Of the
Columbia Players tomorrow night. Is a
four-act drama, written by Augustus
Thomas 1t was the medium in which
Nat c. Goodwin attained his first serious
success when he created the role of the
picturesque sheriff of Pike County, Jim
Radburn. In some respects A H. Van
Buren, should overtower his celebrated
predecessor in the role, for his physique
is admirably suited to it. Starring hon.
ors in the play must be shared with
George W. Barber, who is down for
Burr McIntoshs picturesque role OF Joe
Vernon, the big-hearted. big-framed and
lovabIe village blacksmith, who Is able
to attain his ambition of being made
member of the State Legislature only
through the self-sacrifice of Radburn.
But while this Damon and Pythias
theme is an entertaining feature of the
play. the real love interest centers
around the vicissitudes of the love en-
tertained by Radburn for Vernon's
daughter, Kate. Unknown to her. Rad
burn has betrayed the expenses of her
college education. But her return is
disappointment Education has but made
her dissatisfied with her lot and laid her
open to the wiles of a prepossessing
stranger. This fellow turns out to be
a train robber for whom large reward
has been offered, and the circumstances
under which Radburn helps him to es-
cape is one of the most dramatic incl
dents of the play. Helen Holmes has
been cast as Kate Vernon: Dorothy
Bernard. as her vivacious sister, Liz
beth; Carrie Thatcher, as her mother.
and Jessie Glendinning as Radburn's
sister. Emily. Willard Robertson will be
the villain, Robert Travers; Everett But
terrified, the express messenger, sam
Fowler; Stanley James, the blacksmith
helper. John NJ. Kline, the professional
politician; with Arthur Richie, John Ell

proudly set up at the beginning and
have always carried at our hearts.
Our work is a work of restoration.
We have itemized with some degree
Of particularly the things that ought
to be altered, and here are some of the
chief items: A tariff which cuts us off
from our proper part in the commerce
Of the world, violates the just princi-
pies Of taxation and makes the govern.
ment facile instrument in the hands
of private interests; a banking and
currency system based upon the ne.
cessity Of the government to sell its
bonds fifty years ago and perfectly
adapted to concentrating cash and re-
stricting credits; an industrial system
which, take it on all sides, financial
as we'll as administrative, holds capi.
tai in leading strings, restricts the lib.
critics and limits the opportunities Of
labor and exploits without renewing
or conserving the natural resources Of
the country; body of agricultural ac-
tivities never yet given the efficiency
of great business undertakings or
served as it should be through the in.
strumentality of science taken direct
ly to the farm or afforded the facili-
ties of credit best suited to it's prac-
tical needs; water-courses undevel-
oped, waste places unreclaimed, for
ests INTENDED, fast disappearing with
out plan or prospect of renewal, un-
regarded waste heaps at every mine.
We have studied as perhaps no other
nation has the most effective means
of production, but we have not studied
cost or economy as we should either
as organizers of industry or as indi-
viduals
Nor have we studied and perfected
the means by which government may
be put at the service Of humanity in
safeguarding the health of the nation.
There can be no equality of oppor-
tunity, the first essential of justice in
the body polite, if men and women
and children be not shielded in their
lives, their very vitality, from the
consequences of great industrial and
social processes which they can not
alter, control or singly cope with. So
ciety must see to it that it does not
itself crush or weaken or damage its
own constituent parts.
This is not a day of triumph; it is
day of dedication. Mems hearts wait
upon us; mems lives hang in the bal
ance mems hopes call upon us to say
what we will do. Who shall live up to
the great trust? Who dares fail TO
try? / summon all honest men, all
patriotic, all forward looking men, to
my side. Gcd helping me, / will not
fail them if they will but counsel and
sustain me.

READY TO CATCH PLUMS.
Ohio Democrats Not DisgruntIed over
Slight In Cabinet Makeup.

Washington, March 4. - Although
Ohio will have no representation in
the Wilson cabinet, the Democratic
members of the Buckeye delegation in
congress are manifesting no resent.
ment against the president.
Representative Matthew r. Denver
of Wilmington was an aspirant for
cabinet position, but he practically
abandoned all hope several weeks ago
when Mr.. Wilson paid no heed to n
telegram sent him by the Ohio delega-
tion suggesting a conference with him
in the interest of the Sixth district
representative.
But the state having been left out,
