Declares It Founded in Villous Assumptions, Inimical to Good Government. ' Declaring that the principle of rotation in office was a wrong one and rested, on vicious assumptions inimical to good government, Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden delivered a sermon before a packed hall at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon, in recognition of Inauguration day. He said the present Ideas of government probably would be looked back upon with amusement in years ' to come, that such a system could be ; tolerated. "But a hew era Is coming," he declared; "there will come a day in politics when no longer will there be a scramble for spoils, no. longer will we set onet of rrjitiiesi to watch another and.: secret service . agents to' watch them both." . ' : i . William G. Benham presided: He said the idea of the services had been derived from an old time custom of colonial times of solemnizing inauguration services and presented Dr. Gladden as most fitted to begin such a new custom in Ohio. A New Order of Things. Dr. Gladden chose as the text of this Inaugural sermon these i words from Revelations xxl, 1:, "And' I saw a new heaven and a new earth." "This word new," Dr. Gladden said, "in- the New Testament, stands for two Greek words, one of which means young. Just created; and the other means renovated, put into fresh condition. The latter- is the word used in this text. It does not signify, then, that the heavens and the earth which the revelator saw were now first com ing into existence, but rather that they appeared to him under a new aspect, wearing a new dress, bearing a new character. 'Thou renewest the face of the ground,' cried the old psalmist. This process of renewal is the process of life and growth. 'Be hold I make all things new!' is the word which expresses no momentary, or occasional exertion of the creator spirit, but his normal and continuous action. He Is always making all things new. Life and growth are processes of change. . "Yet, in a deeper sense, there is stability and continuity. 'All things always are the same.' God Is un changeable. His immutability is the rock on which we stand secure. Complimetary Truths. "These two truths, contradictory as they seem, must be firmly held together. One great lesson of life is the coordination of opposites. We have to learn how to take two truths that are sharply contrasted and hold them firmly together in our thought, letting them reconcile themselves as best they can in the conduct of our lives. Just as unity and variety must al ways be combined, so continuitv and change must be co-ordinated in the law of development. The healthy condition of society results from the har monious blending of a sound conserva tism with "a vigorous radicalism. We must hold fast to what is: we must push on for what ought to be. "Today we are confronting imnort-' ant changes In the administration of our state, it we do not see what the revelator saw, a new heaven and a new earth we see the advent, of a new order of things. Such changes are not unnearci or, nor unprovided for: our political system expects them: they occur more or less frequently. and our minds are so familiar with them that they take place with very nine exciieruenc or overturning in society. A large majority of our ceonle are no more aware, by any change in their experience, of the transfer of power from one party to another, than iney are oi ine passing or the limit which divides one year from another If it were not for the artificial racket of the bells and the steam whistles most of us would sleep through this transition. And the political changes i to most of ua, are quite as little noted' Keats on vicious Astumptione. "Possibly these changes take nin.o too easily. Possibly we are too ready to suffer them, too eager to welcome them. It may be more evident, bv mil by, than It is to the multitude today that the perennial shiftings in our public offices Is a source of weakness and peril to the state; that the principle of rotation in office to which our deiJSbcracy la o strongly wedded is a species of insanity. Of course no efficient administration la possible under such circumstances. There la no man . of affairs who does not know that any private business would be ruined If the entire force of emDlovou had to be changed every year or t wolf there were no chance whatever to develop experience and competency, i "Thia principle of rotation in office rests on' two main assumptions, both of which are essentially vicious and Continued on Third Page. , OHIO'S CAPITOL, GOVERNOR-ELECT AND PARTICIPANTS IN INAUGURAL EXERCISES TODAY f .

Dr. Lpson has already produced marked beneficial effcta upon patients at the Xewburg Insane aeylum by simple dental operations. Arrangements have been made by which Dr. Upson will, during the coming week begin experiments upon prisoners at the workhouse. The X-ray machine is used to determine whetner or not the teeth or their roota are defective. The test also develops any pressure of the roots of the various nerves leading from tne moutn to tne brain. Dr. Upson bases his belief upon the theory that Insanity and crime are correlated. The series of experiments will ex tend over six months and the result will be embodied by Dr. Upson in a monograph addressed to the medical profession.
