Noble Greece. subimely brave,
Stands singly and alone,
Deiying the powers to enslave,
Her people and her throne.
Sovereign Kings forbade the Cretes,
To cast on the Sultan's chains
And anchored massive armofed fleets
In shot Of Canidia's plains.
But Greece. who in a fsteful hour,
Drove Xerxes' army to the sea;
Stands unarmcd before the powers.
And declares the Cretans tree.
Brave Gricians 60 to Homet's shrine;
And entreat the sleeping bard,
To thrill his country with a rhyme
That will free the Nations ward.
Then go to Alexandria's grave
That king Of soldiers, bid him rise,
To lead the gallant and the brave.
To victory meath iair Grecian skies
But no. LEI Homer keep his grave;
He has earned eternal rest,
For patriotism is sblaze,
Already In each Greciau breast.
Let Alexander slumber too;
You will fnd one to command
Yours soldiers and the thousands who
Will come from other LANDS
Then noble Greece, Cod speed thee on
In freedoms cause. tits holy work
To free the suffering Cretans from
The dominion OF the goddess Turk.

senator DCbOe.

With great heartiness The Leader
congratulates the Republican party OF
Kentucky and the Nation at large be-
cause Of the election today OF William
J. Deboe to succeed Mr.. Blackburn in
the United States Senate. AS Re-
publican, true to every tenet Of his
party's faith, he has risen by virture
OF ais ability and faithfulness to his
present eminent position. He has
proven himself equal to the discharge
OF the various trusts imposed upon
him by his party. AS an officer. he
has served his State with conspicuous
talents. As a private citizen he ems
joys the perfect confidence of all who
know him. That he will honor the
position that he has been called to
fill, is most certain. He wins this
honor by way dramatic and mem
orable. His every part in that great
contest was borne honorably and with
a sole desire to further the best inter.
ests of his party, and the end OF the
contest is ore that will justify itself,
even as the election OF DR.. Hunter
would have been only justice and the
duty that the Republicans owed to it.
self
Senator Deboe succeeds one whose
career has been marked by brilliancy
and bluudering. Kentucky can rest
assured that in her new representa-,
tive she will have a servant who will
seek her good and the Nltion's good
rather than his own personal aggran-
dizement, Keutuckians will ha ye at
Washington a friend devoted and
tirelcss in seeking their welfare.
Many places will miss the late Sena-
tor from Kentucky, and perhaps they
will not know the Junior Senator.
But Kentucky will be none the worse
for that, perhaps, and as we welcome
gladly Senator Deboe, We say good
bye 10 Mr. Blackburn, the Senator,
with no regret, even though we greet
him Cordially as private citizen.

EASTER.

1t Is generally understood that
Easter Day is observed in commemo-
ration of the Resurrection Of Christ.
However as last Sunday week was
Easter, few remarks regarding the
origin OF this celebration, may not be
amiss. The word Easter is derived
from an old Saxon word, Oster, mean.
ing "rising." We find this by refer
ence to the books; our knowledge Of
the old Saxon language being some
what limited.
THIS day has been observed in some
fashion for ages; it has not always
had the same significance attached to
it that we give it in this day and
time.
The English name was derived from
that of the Tentonic Goddess Of
Spring, Eastre, whose festral was
held about the same time of the year
that we observe Easter.
1t seems therefore in the early his
tory of our English ancestors, that
Easter was observed in honor of
Spring.
Itseems that in the early history Of
Christianity some christians held that
Christ was slain on the same day that
the Jews observed as the feast cf the
passover, hence they observed April
18th as Easter, which was the same
day observed by the Jews for the feast
Of the passover.
Other christians thought the day Of
Christ's resurrection was more impor-
tant than the day OF his death and
therefore held to Easter being observ.
ed on the Sunday which followed the
14th day of the Moon of March.
Discussions arose as to which was the
proper day to be observed, and came
near causing a schism in the church.
However in 1926 A. d. the European
Constantine had the matter brought
before the Council at Nice. Here
the question was fully discussed and
finally resulted in the following rule
being established for the whole
church: Easter Day is the fret suns
day after the full moon which hap
pens upon or next after the March
2lsii and 1.-THE full moon happens on
Sunday, Easter Day is the Sunday
alter"
Hence Easter may come as early
as March 22d or as late as April 25ih.
Easter has been observed since the
establishment ofthe Christian Church
aud is now observed by all Christian
Churches.
In the early history Of Christianity
on Eas er day all churches were orua
mented with large wax eaud es, add
Christians saIuted eac ,other with a
hiss and the words, Christ Is riseD;"
to this a rrspouse was made, "Christ
is indeed risen" This custom is alill

observed in the Grecian Church.
The custom Of using Easter eggs
isalso very old. It il said that on a
royal roll Of the time Of Edward !.
Of England, which is still preserved,
appears an entry Of is pence for 400
eggs to be used as Easter gifts.
tits legend in parts Of Iceland
and also among some people in this
country that the sun dances as It
rises on Easter morning.
Easter as it IS observed to-day "a a
day Of worship; a day on which all
should be devoutly thankful for mer-
cies received; a day on which both
saint and sinner should be spiritually
minded.

THATCAsEIN POINT

The Beaver Dam Cleaner sticks out
for principles al all times and being
outspoken in it's editorial columns the
editor has seen fit in the last few is
snes Of his paper to give some points
regarding people who will sacrifice
principles for bare chance to nun
for office. This principle business
does not suit the finn editors of
our city neighbor with English pro-
clivities, hence they proceed to give
Bro. Likens a drubbing this week,
which read between the lines means
that Everybody who does not see as
we do will be damned" The Herald
says
"The Prohibitionists seem to have
Joined forces with the "holier.than-
thou" crowd, composed mostly o!
gold>bugs and Republicans and are
just now raising a great hue and cry
against the practice of Office holding,
also against Populist fusion, and
against almost everything in general,
while. their own plea Of prohibition
receives little attention
The Beaver Dam Cleaner has
thrown its ears back and comes
charging at US, like it would run over
us whether or no, because we have
announced our support of the fusion
ticket, and il incidentally jumps OIL
Shs Democrats and Populist for even
thinking OF wanting Office. OF course
Mr.. Likens, OF the Cleaner, don't
want office-oh, no-he would run
like a practiced Splinter II he should
hear OF anybody on his track profer-
ing any king Of an official position.
This was evidenced a month or two
ago by letter received by The Herald
from that gentleman saying that he
had a good chance OF getting the po.
sition Of State Organizer Of his party
and asking us to give him a lift in
that direction. OF course we gave
him a lift--he is a clever young man
then we lost sight OF the matter
and did not know he had gotten the
position until we received a card from
him stating the fact and asking MS to
make a note Of It in The Herald.
Now OF course Mr.. Likens did not
want this ofiice-he was just simply
"in the hands OF his friends 4" We
would advise Mr.. Llkens to stick to
his mutton. the empty whisky bottle,
or come out straight on the side Of
the Republicans, tor whom he seems
10 have such a close affinity. All Of
which is most respectfully and kind
ly submitted.
The Herald advises Mr.. Likens to
stick to his empty whisky bottle-hiL
principles-and at the same time they
have forsaken principles to support a
ticket made up Of Populists and Dem,
ocrats. We would advise the Herald
to tread carefully along the lines OF
principles and to pluck the mote out
Of his own eye, before advising other
people to stick to principles.

The requirements OF American for
eign commerce compel the annual
construction Of about half a million
tons Of ships. Practically speaking,
none OF this is now constructed in the
United States. Roughly speaking,
about fifty millions Of dollars would
be spent in the shipyards Of the Unit
ed States, II the needed half million
tons Of vessels were annually con-
structe here. This would create a
de nand for about couple OF million
tons Of iron ore. and corresponding
amount Of coal and coke and lime.
Itwould give our rolling mills, our
forges aud ouriouudriesa vast amount
Of new work; our lumber mills would
find large demand for materials for
ship construction and equipment; the
manufacturing establishments would
be busted in making the multitude Of

We notice from our two county
contemporaries, both claiming to rep
resent entirely diilerent views in re-
gard to the management Of affairs Of
the Nation, that they have the ticket
recently nominated by the Demo.
Populists, at the head of their papers
under different heads. The Hartford

Now, the question will arise which
is correct, and the final outcome will
be that neither ia correct, for the men
nominated at that convention will be
put under the rooster on the ballot
and will be headed Democratic
Ticket, (" and it seems to be the aim OF
our contemporaries to keep their
readers ignorant of the fact as long as
possible. Heretofore whenever a
Democratic ticket was nominated the
Herald always displayed the emblem
of its party, but now they will not
put up the emblem for they know that
the Populists will not vote under that
emblem, and they are trying to keep
them in the dark regarding the mat
ter, and want them to think that
there will be fusion device.
A large number of Populists have
been led to believe that there will be
a fusion device, and 1t was only last
week that a good, honest Populist
was in our Office and he thought they
would have a fusion device, as his
Democratic neighbors had told him
80; be said he would not vote that
ticket if he had to vote under the
rooster, so, dear readers, you can
readily see why the device is not put
up, and we only mention these fact
so that the people may know the facts
in the case. The Democrats refused
to give up their device because they
said 1t would kill their party, but
they wanted to kill the Populist party
and would force them to give up their
device, thereby throwing all the
Populists into the Democratic PARTY.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1897-04-30

The Democratic bosses say that
their men on the fusion ticket will
run from 80 to 200 votes ahead Of the
Populisls 90 the same ticket, because
their men will not vote for a Populisi.
SO we see the love that the Demo-
Gratis have Tor their Populist brethren.
