Margaret E. Sangster in Harper's Bazaar
Be hushed. my heart, remembering
What dole was given for thee,
How pressed on Him thy burden, when,
For all the sinful sons of men,
Christ went to Calvary.
The mournful journey that He made,
Each step was taken for thee.
Be hushed, my heart, let clamor cease;
Prepare a chamber white with peace,
His resting place to be.
In solemn shadow of the cross,
o soul, abide till He
Who tasted death ere thou Shouldst know
Its bitterness of utmost woe
With strength shall guerdon thee.
Its Via Dolorosa still
Each life of earth must see,
And in some hour, or soon or late,
Must bend beneath the crushing weight
OF earth's Gethsemane.
But, heart. in love and prayer look up
Beyond the awesome tree;
The heaven of heavens is reft to-day;
All angels march the starry way
That leads from Calvary.
For conquering, the Lord of Life
(His mighty legions free
Goes forward while the ages roll;
The price of every ransomed soul
Full paid on Calvary.

A novel issue is brought into the can
vass for the United States senatorship in
Kansas-the successorship to PETER. A
year ago Judge Vandiver led the annual
jackrabbit chase. and the kill broke the
record. Last week State Senator kelsey
Wncockson led the chase, and killed even
more jackrabbits than Judge Vandiver
had killed. Vandiver is a candidate for the
Senate on his record, and Wncoekson an
nounces that he will contest the honor
with him. on the ground that the jack
rabbit statesman ought to be the man who
has the greatest number of jackrabbits to
his credit.

We have no doubt that the reports that
a great many persons in this county are
Illegally registered will be thoroughly in
vestigated. one estimate places the num-
Der as high as two hundred.
AS yet the public is not in possession of
any evidence that anybody has been IL
legally registered. Whatever evidence
there is will be presented undoubtedly TO
the proper tribunal and thoroughly sifted.
No effort should be spared to get at the
truth. If there has been illegal registra-
ton not only should the persons Illegally
registered be punished, but also those who
were instrumental in having them regis
ter.
We misunderstood public sentiment if
there is not a settled determination in this
county to put an end to all sorts of frauds
on the ballot box There must be stop
to illegal registration and to fraudulent
voting and bribing of voters.
This matter has been discussed a great
deal in a quiet way among the better ele-
ment of the people and by grand juries.
There is no doubt that some of those who
have been guilty of illegal practices in
connection with the ballot box would have
been indicted and punished before this
If sufficient evidence against them could
have been obtained. The sentiment against
the practices is so strong that means are
now being discussed to protect the ballot,
and in future there will be evidence suffi-
cient to convict If the illegal acts con-
tinue to be committed.
1t Is impossible to have good govern
ment if the offices are filled by fraudulent
means. Those who pay out money to get
offices find ways to get their money back
If they do not directly appropriate the
public money they get it by indirect meth
DDS In whatever way the money
is obtained the people are the losers.
We must have fair registrations and
honest elections. The will of the people
and not of a few political bosses and po-
lftical heelers must be expressed Through
the ballot box. Unfair elections breed dis
content. They not only do that, but they
lower the standard of morality in the com.
munity, and thus encourage the commits
sion Of other kinds of crime. Let the re.
ports of registration frauds be thoroughly
inquired into, and if guilty parties ar,
found let them suffer the full penalty o.
the law

The silverite leaders in Georgia profess
to believe that the democratic national
convention win adopt a 16 to platform. If
they really believe any such thing. why
are they in such a rush to have a senator
ial primary in June? The probabilities are
that neither Mr.. duBignon nor Mr.. Smith
would run for the Senate on 16 to l plat
form, hence in the event of the adoption
of such platform, Mr. Crisp would most
be necessary to have a primary at all The
truth probably is that the silver leaders
are not sincere in their claims, and that is
why they are trying to take snap judg-
ment

The Eject Of Intelligent study.
From Louisville Courier-Journai Dem,

Representative Richardson of Tennes-
see, who is free silverite himself, says
that he has mot seen evidences of many
changes in the direction of the free coin
age of silver of late" This is undoubt-
eddy true. Mr.. Richardson has not seen
evidences of many changes in the di-
rection of the free coinage of silver
Such changes are not visible anywhere
The changes are all in the other direction.
Most men are for free silver before they
look into the question. but intelligent in
veStigation nearly always changes them,
unless they choose to cater to silver senti-
ment for personal political advancement
To-day there are scores of well known
sound money men who once favored free
silver. but we cannot recall a single free
money.

From the NashvilIe American (Dem.).
No straddle should be adopted by the
national democratic convention. If sound
money is to be advocated the plank should
be unequivocally for sound money; if fiat
silver money is to be the platform say so
plainly without trimming. Let the repub-
licans do the lodging and straddling, but
democrats should speak in no uncertain
words

A South Dakota court has set up the
precedent of having divorce cases before it
tried by juries of six men and six wo-
men. That seems to be fair. But the
chances are that the court will have more
mistrials than verdicts with such juries.
Nothing would be more natural than that
in the case of conflicting testimony. the
jurymen and jurywomen should each in
sist that their sex be given the benefit of
the doubt

1t is observed that some of the manu-
featuring industries of New England are
cutting wages. That sort of thing was to
be expected. The time of the national

protected interests will be able to make
powerful arguments to their employees in
the cutting of wages and the explanation
that want of proper protection is the
cause. 1t is an old game.

OF all harmless customs in the world
that of christening a ship by the breaking
of bottle of wine on her bows seems to
be one Of the most harmless. 1t is true
that the ship may at the christening be
launched upon wild and unsteady career;
she may reel and toss and waIlow, and get
three sheets in the wind, and go out on
a breeze, and get loaded at every port in
which she stops, and all that sort of thing.
But she sets no bad example to anybody.
When the temperance people make an at

they are leveling heavy artillery al a
