WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
She Thought God Vas Dead

Among the puzzling things to young
children are the matters pertaining to
church and It is in vain that their little
heads try TO solve these mysteries. In
"a prominent Catholic family on the
west side OF town. is a pair of little
curly headed girls. They answer to
the names of Mary and Margaret.
During Holy Week the family used
a great many eggs at their meals and
during supper one evening Margaret
asked
Papa, who made these eggs?"
"They were made by God" was the
reply.
Mary heard the explanation and
thought over it good bit.
Both children attended the services
in ST. Paul's r. c. Church on Good
Friday. and next morning at breakfast
Margaret again asked who made eggs.
and her mamma this time told her
that God made the eggs.
Indeed he didn't make desc eggs. q"
said Mary. with great earnestness.
Why didn't he make these. my
chlld?' asked her mother
Because God died yesterday" I"
replied the child. sorrowfully.
II took the mother but a second to
see that the child had been greatly i'm
pressed by the STORY of the cross, %
and she undertook to explain It to her.

In the history Of the world a num-
Der of distinguished persons have as
sumed the part of usurpers. tyrants
and dictators The greatest Of these,
possibly. was Julius Caesar. He had
the advantage in that he had done
more for his country than any other
man. and yet when his fingers reached
out for the crown he felt a clash Of
daggers beneath his ribs. Another
usurper, that did not hesitate to take
all means to remove a half dozen per-
sons who stood in the way OF his ele-
vation to the throne. was one Richard
Plantagenet Richard had ability and
courage. but he went the way OF all
flesh, only his end came prematurely
Then. later ip history there was a
man named Napoleon Bonaparte lie
aspired to crown. and after few
hundred thousands OF EurOpe's young
men had died he got IT, But notwiths
standing his cOnsummate ability, I'm a
few years he found himself sitting on
a rock in the ocean trying to pass the
time till death should come along with
It's blessings of release. There are
modern dictators who apparently have
not read the lives OF these men. and
who hope in this more enlightened age
to reverse history. But what Julius
Caesar. Richard III and Napoleon
Bonaparte could not do with their
splendid genius, no petty manipulator
in gas stocks may do-unless. indeed,
the people have devoluted from ami
mails with spines. into ielly-hsh Per-
hans there has been a revival OF the
dodo. and that man will again have

OUR SENTIMENTS

We have taken occasion heretofore
to condemn the intemperate abuse OF
the directors of the Street and Sewer
Department. because in the exercise of
their duties they reached conclusions
not sanctioned by certain newspapers
OF this city. The following from the
Every Evening exactly expresses our
opinion. and we give it space with
pleasure
That Messrs. Johnson and Mel
win are reputable citizens, good
business men and men OF sound
minds i'm every sense of the terms;
that as public officials they are
acting and voting In accordance
with what they conceive to be the
hest interests OF the city; and that
there is not the least suspicion OF
crOokelnHs. incapacity or lack OF
sound Judgment in their treatment
of any public question that thus
far has claimed their official atten-
tion
In the matter OF the Welsbach
street lighting contract. public
opinion is divided, but we believe
the weight of il Is with Messrs
Johnson and Melvin. But. how
ever this may be. the difference in
opinion Is an honest one. and good
citizens generally give Messrs.
Melvin and Johnson credit for hon
estY. fairness and capacity
who do not agree with their con
eiusions. as well as those who do.
When public officials prove TO DO
thieves and scoundrels, Il Is right
10 call them so; when they are i'm
beetles. Il is proper to expose their
imbecility to the public. But It is
moral depravity only few do
groes removed from criminality to
personally abuse and vilify men
as Messrs. Melvin and Johnson
have been abused and vilifed by
the Sunday Star. simply over an
honest difference of opinion upon
public question. Abuse is not
criticism; It is a brutal vulgarity.

Leading Democrats are showing re-
sentiment at Mr.. Bryan's assumption
of being the court of last resort in the
Democratic party. A prominent mem-
Der OF the National Committee has
been contrasting Blaine's attitude af-
ter one defeat with that of Bryan after
two. Blaine declined to stand for re-
nomination. declaring That under his
leadership the party had met disaster
That he had had mis- chance, and ought
not TO try again. Bryan finds his op
portunity i'm the broken and disorgan
lied condition Of his party. He coul,
not be elected-possibly no Democra
can-but he evidently enjoys the posi-
tion OF supreme dictator.

If the report is true that the Pope
has decided TO send a representative
TO London to witness the coronation
Of King Edward, in opposition TO his
ministers. it shows broad and
catholic spirit in keeping with the
character of the aged Pontiff. The OBJ
iectlons to sending such a representa-
tive are based upon the absurd oath
which the King is requested to take
and which was the result of the re-
ligious strife and hatreds of another
age. The Pope, by ignoring this
shows greater breadth than the Eng
lish in retaining it, Loo is not lack
