TWO READINGS DRAW CROWDS
Prof. Koch Interprcts Dickens Christ.
mas Carol for Tenth Ycar-PeO-
pie Turned Away.


Charles Dickens ever popular
christmas Carol" was read twice In
this city Sunday by Prof. Frederick
Koch of the state university.
The first reading was given at the
Metropolitan opera house at 2:3O
o'clock in the afternoons. The theater
was filled to its utmost capacity. and
hundreds for whom no room could be
found were turned away.
In the evening the reading was
given at the gymnasium of the state
university before another large audi
ence.
This is the tenth annual reading
of Dickens classic by Professor Koch,
which appears to have as great power
to charm as ever. Apparently the
people never grow tired Of hearing of
"Scrooge" and "Tiny Tim"
Professor Koch's Interpretation of
the story shows marked ability. and
seems to grow even stronger, if pos
sible, from year to year. ,.

Most of the World
Misery Comes From
Little Sins
BY the Rev. DR.. CHARLES L. DANA
of New York City

1T seems to me that one of the
mistakes of preachers is that
they preach against great sins
too much and not enough against
the little things of the world.
After all, most people arc not so
very bad. THE CRIMINALS OF
TIE WORLD MAKE UP PER-
HAPS ONE PER CENT, and the
rest of humanity means to do about
right if one gives a fair chance for
the play of the ego. Besides, the
miseries of the world do not come
chiefly from sin, at least from the
great sins. THEY COME FROM
LITTLE SINS, weaknesses, sick
ness, misfortune, poverty and do
mestic Embellishments.

they ever kept in common integrity
the pledges contained in a single
platform adopted since the civil war,
we challenge them to point out the.
time and the circumstance.
What sad commentary on once
great political party that in It's ex.
tremity 1t defames the memory and
name of Mckinley by avowing that
his policy of taxation was an act born
of treason to the people and a tres
pass on their rights as citizens.
That the Republican leaders are
so reduced in followers is not surpris-
ing since they are equally impover-
ished in those constructive qualities
in government that ordinarily inspire
a militant support. Never in its history
have the leaders Of the opposition
party faced the guage of battle, so
depleted in issues and so lacking in
discipline and numbers as now.
Summed up in few words, the Re-
publican leaders have reduced their
cause to a plain ranting hypocrisy
and their methods are neither cal
culeted to appeal to public reason or
favor.
We find the standpat candidate for
governor, introducing as an issue, the
bitterness of civil war times. Whel
our grief-stricken president was about
to embark on the saddest pilgrimage
of his whole life and return to the
scenes of his early romance, this
candidate for the highest office in the
gift of Ohinans, impugned the loyalty
If the Southern people and charged
that the president was turning the
government over to them. Every man
living under our flag in the supreme
test is a loyal American, whether he
be a Northern soldier or the son OF
a Northern soldier, Southern soldier
or the son of Southern soldier The
men who fought that great contest
have forgotten and forgiven. A year
ago they met at Gettysburg in re-
unio- of the Blue and the Gray. The
Grand Army, as an organization, has
met with the Army Of the Confeder-
acy. These old heroes waiting at the
sunset of life for the bugle call from
ltbeyond, are without a thought of bit
terness, and every heart throb north
and south is for the flag. At this
hour when the world is at war and we
at peace it lily becomes any man
and particularly member OF the
younger generation-to attempt to
stir up hate between Americans, and
for the ignoble purpose Of catching
a few votes.
The standpatters declaim against
the commission form OF government
without offering a word as to what
they would substitute for it. While
not denying that there was glaring
neglect of duty in the communities
with respect to both the liquor and
tax laws, they sneer at the effective
plan Of placing tie authority where
it will be exercised for the public
| good.
