Easter In Hickman Churches

Easter In Hickman Churches
Sunday though somewhat cool and
windy was sufficiently bright to invite
good congregations at the different
churches observing Easter services.
The Episcopal, Methodist. and Catholic
churches, the day was observed and
some of the churches beautifully dec
orated, and had special musical pro.
grams. The music at the Methodist
church was very fine, and at the Epis.
copal the choir sang some fine anthems
and their rendition of the musical part
of the regular Episcopal Easter service
was excellent. 1t is not to be omitted
that the bright flowers and light color
ed dresses after the dark winter shades
in evidence with the attendance at all
the churches was pleasing relief; and
these with the more serious choirs
songs, music. and sermons proclaimed
the theme of the resurrection.

Seventy-five thousand tons of coal can

amount increased to 100000 or 125,O0O
tons a day at the end of a week. 1t can
be moved to New York and other Atlantic

THE democrats of the Thirty-third
senatorial district in convention as

and as reaffirmed in the past national
convention of the democratic party
I'VE denounce the failure of the
present national administration -
enforce the criminal laws passed by
congress for the regulation of trusts.
THE administration failure to en-
force the criminal laws against these
trusts proves the subserviency of the
republican party to corporate pow
| er.
I'VE pledge ourselves to favor in eI-
cry way the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie, and condemn the republican lead
ers of the senate for defeating for
the fourth time this great reform.
I'VE denouncc the ovcrbearing man
ner in which the owners of the coal
fields of Pennsylvania refuse to listen
to the appeals of the people of the
whole country, that the differences
between the owners and miners
should be settled by arbitration.
I'VE denounce the illegal assess
ment for political purposes of state
employees.
eve denounce government by in
junction and demand that the laws
of the United States be so amended
that employees can in no way he en-
joined by the United States or state
courts for any act i'm connection with
strikes. and the laws of the United
States be further so amended that
the United States courts shall have
no jurisdiction, concerning the prop
erty of any individual or corporation
during the time of strike.
eve believe in municipal owner
ship of public utilities of all kinds
and that the laws of the state
should be so amended that cities can
acquire such utilities"
