THE DAY OF DAYS.

In all Christian and in all civilized lands and countries there will today be some kind of commemoration of Easter. The day will be celebrated in different ways. but all over the world there will be observances in remembrance of what the day is now considered to stand for.
 For 1t must be remembered that it is not to the Christian religion that we owe the name or the first observances con- nected with 1t. In the heather mythol- ogy of the old Teutonic or Anglo-Saxon races Eostre or Ostara was the goddess of Spring. and to her this month. which came to be known as Easter month, was dedicated.
 But the Easter day is now an annual festival celebrated in all Christian coun. tries as the Resurrection day of the Sa- vior, and for that reason it Is a sacred day wherever there are worshippers of. or believers in, Jesus Christ. It is true that there Is nothing in the New Testa- ment or in the writings of the apostolic fathers fixing this as a day to be kept sacred by Christians, but in the early days of the Christian Church the custom was established and has come down to us as one of the settled usages of our religion. That our Easter is a continua- ton of the Jewish custom of celebrating the Passover is true, but the methods of observance, as we'll as the signifcatIon of the day have long since separated themselves from each other, and now the occasion among Christians. is held sacred in memory of Christ's resurrection.
 But whatever differences there may be in the original or the later ideas regard ing the day. 1t is enough that the Chris tan churches now celebrate 1t in a man ner appropriate to the wonderful occasion
 from which it is held to derive its sig nihcahce. There is a sacredness connect ed With 1t in the hearts of all who wor- snip Him to whom 1t is now dedicated.

wAs TT WORTH TIP

Was it worth the price7 Is the aues- ton some are asking in connection with the Burton. case. He was a Senator of the United States. He had lost heavily in speculation and was in need of money. He was offered a fee at the rate of $500 a month to aid the schemes of a concern which was not altogether as pure as the driven snow. Burton is not considered a fool and he doubtless knew that he was acting In violation of law as well as in violation of good morals and of his duty to his government. But he -needed the money" and accepted the bribe. Now the penitentiary yawns for him and he is for ever barred from holding public office. Was the money he received worth the price paid for 1t?
 And the reason given by him is the ex- cuse given in many cases where one goes wrong. A young man occupies a position of trust in a bank or store. He is not able to resist temptation. and falls into expensive habits. His salary win not satisfy the demands made on him and he takes that which does not belong to him. He needs the money and takes 1t. and becomes a fugitive from justice or an inmate of prison. Is it worth the price?
 A bank cashier Is implicitly trusted by the officers and has complete access to It's funds. He has a home. wife and chil- dren, and everything to make him happy. but in an evil hour he speculates and loses. All of his own money goes and he begins taking the fuIyds-of the bank with the hope of. retrieving his losses. but he only sinks deeper. For a time he covers up his peculations but the time comes when discovery can no longer be delayed He fees but is brought back, tried, con yicted and sent to prison. Or he escapes entirely and is wanderer on the face of the earth. In either case his home is broken up, his wife broken-hearted, his children disgraced and his peace of mind gone forever. He needed the money and took it. Was it worth the price7
 A pure young girl is dissatisfied with her station in life. She sees other girls occupying positions above her and she wants to get up to them. She wants finer
 
 clothes and jeweiry, and wants to shine in society. The tempter comes in the shape of the fiend who Is always on the watch for the unwary. He displays to her longing eyes dazzling visions of 6 bright future which will be hers if she hearkens and yields to his glazing words and warm protestatlons. Like the bird charmed by the serpent she advances. a step at time. until she yields and is lost. She becomes an outcast from home and society, an object of ioathing to all good people. The tempter enjoys his vic- tory and leaves her and she becomes one of those of whom Solomon said: Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on he'll" But she needed the money. Again, was 1t worth the price?
 And so we might go on moraIizing, but it all returns to the question: Is any crime worth the price it costs? Is the enjoyment, the pleasure, the satisfaction derived from money unlawfully obtained worth the price one pays for it? We think not.

HIRED MEN
Are the Organizers of the Hearst
 Clubs.

Jerseyyille Ull.) Democrat
 One of the chief arguments Hearst. men make for being for him Is that hes IS a millionaire and will spend his money. This is a, queer condition, when party. which claims the common people com pose it, advocates man buying norni- nation, because he has millions The fact is, the great Hearst boom, as it ia called, is composed of men hired to or- ganize clubs, and lone of the chief argu- ments is Hearst has million to spend" How much of this Is the common people getting?- Don't be fooled by smooth ton gued politicians talking for money. Where do you find Hearst club that was not organized by some one In his employe or that of his campaign manager? Let Democrats who are such from. principle. not for money, keep cool and when the. convention meets in St. Louis nominase a man who can win. If Hearst should be, nominated, nearly all the business inter- ests would oppose him, and half of orga- nized labor. for the latter seldom votes as its frey leaders talk. No man should be permitted to buy a Presidential nomi- nation. This nation is too great and grand to adopt ward politics

We see no reason why the negroes of Illinois should not nominate one of their own race fG President if they wish. We understand there is a movement to that end and such ticket would put the question square up to the negro lovers who have so much to say about the door of hope for the colored race. We suggest T.

FAIR ENTRIES COME
FROM MANY STATES
Horses of National Reputation
VIII Contest for Big
Purses

The announcement from Secretary E.
w. Randall, of the Minnesota state fair.
that he had received 339 nomina lions for
the state fair race meet was received
with much interest on the part of horse
men and the public. but possibly many
people do not quite understand what this
actually means.
In the first place it means that the
racing at the Minnesota state fair track
during the week Of August 20 TO Sept.
8, will be the great track event of the
year. This Is not the statement of the
officers of the fair, but the general es-
timation Of racing authorities who have
seen the list For instance, w H.
Knight. of Chicago. secretary Of the
american Trotting association. has writ
aten Secretary Randall congratulating him
upon the tremendous entry list, assuring
him that 1t Is the largest entry list of
the year, and that he, himself, will be
On hand to see the races.
The editor of the Horseman, of Chicago.
one of the leading horse papers of the
country, has also written Mr. Randall
that the Minnesota state fair list is by
far the largest Of the year and similar
communications are coming In from all
directions.
OF the horses themselves, much of in
terest might be written Many well
known stables are represented and horses
of national reputation will be among the
starters Perhaps the most interesting
thing about the list however, is the re-
markable geographical distribution of the
entries. Nearly half of the states in the
Union are represented. from New York
on the east to California on the west
and from Arizona and Tennessee on the
boundary states. The distribution of the
entry by states is shown as follows.

of good straightforward treatment of
horsemen. Owners of horses who have
entered at previous fairs, have found

that the track Is good and that their
