Easter Sunday was an ideal day
with the exception the atmos-
phere was little cool in the ear
lier portion. The sun shone bright
and pleasant in the afternoon, and
all nature appeared happy and
contented. Easter, generally
speaking is a feast of beauty. It's
symbols are the opening flowers
that appeal to the eye, the burst
ing song that pleases the ear. For
this reason, flower and song con-
spicuously marked the ceremonies
Sunday Of observance in thou
sands Of churches throughout the
land. In no other way can either
flower or song be connected with
the day, except that they are ex-
pressive Of joy, of gladness, Of
praise for the risen Lord. Easter
exisetd before the Bible, before
the advent Of the Christ, before
the establishment of the Christian
religion. Thousands of years ago
the Festal day was celebrated by
Eastern Pagans, by African idol
aters. 1t marked the opening Of
spring, the bursting of all nature
into bloom, the beginning of an
other season Of gladness. Merely
co-incident is the fact that a Pa
gan institution and a Christian
observance fall on one and the
same day, but there is this about
1.-THE Pagan Easter was more
sensual than religious, while the
Christian Easter is spiritual and
uplifting toward those ideals that
make mankind better.

One good law surely was en-
acted by the last legislature, by
which the fees of the secretary OF
state are required to be collected
and turned into the state treas
ury. For March these fees
amounted to nearly $500, and 1t
was not an average month, either.
Probably the fees for the whole
wear will amount to $4,000 which
instead of going into the pocket
of the secretary of state with a
srperabundance of clerks paid by
the state, will be paid over to the
state for schools and other state
expenses. Sen. Montgomery OF
Preston county, is entitled TO
much credit for pushing this law
TO enactment, notwithstanding
the Establishments and protests OF
Sen. Swisher. then secretary OF
state-elect, who wished to get
these fees for his private gam.

The attempt of certain specula-
tors Saturday to corner the mar
ket on wheat in Chicago proved
pretty disastrous. The May op-
ton took a straight drop OF SIX
cents. 1t was the same old story
of an attempt to run a corner fol-
lowed by the usual collapse.
Gates and his associates, although
old spectators who ought to
know better, thought they could
corner the May option and gouge
the country for large profits. 1t
was easy sailing so far as bulllng
the market went by the simple
process of buying up the supply.
The rub came when they had the
wheat and endeavored to realize
on it. The spectators who met
with disaster, however, are de-
servable of no sympathy, for the
reason they attempted to wiring
uneaned profits out of the food
of the people.

One week ago yesterday the po-
lice authorities of st. Louis in
augurated rigid enforcement of
the blue laws of that State. They
closed up drug stores, restaurants,
candy and cigar stores, news
stands, barber shops, saloons and
all other places of business. They
made the city "dry and tight, to
use the terms employed in a de-
scription of the situation by st.
Louis newspaper. According to
the law it is a misdemeanor to per
form on Sunday labor other than
household work and work of char
ity. Similar provisions exist in
the blue laws of other states. The
Pennsylvania laws in addition
would, if enforced, stop all rail
way traffic, including street cars,

was then told that it was the inten-

begin an action which would land all
the sawmill men in the penitentiary

on government land was kept up
Koch said he thought it about time
for him to call halt and he sent a
telegram to his foreman to stop all
work in the timber. He then set
about to have Pitkin county thrown
into forest reserve believing that
would furnish the only solution for
him in securing lumber and mine
timbers for the Aspen mines which
were then in great need.
Last August Mr.. Koch attended the
National Irrigation congress at Port
land where he met Chief Forester
Pinchot to whom he explained the
great necessity tor some action which
would permit the Aspen mines to con.
tinue and also furnish timber for local
trade.
Mr.. Pinchot said he would tele-

fore Koch left Portland he was shown
a telegram from Presid Roosevelt
to Mr.. Pinchot saying the opening
proclamation had been issued. An
agent of the government, T. E. Ben

country two years ago and had recon-
mented a reserve including lands In
Pitkin, Garfield and Eagle counties,

credit for his frankness in admitting
that all he wanted a reserve for, was
that he might get all the timber he

object being to take some action con-

Harris called the meeting to order
and presided during the session while
G. B. Sewell was found in his place as

meeting in order the chair recognized
Fred Light who said the cattemen
had been accused of being unreaason

inconsiderate of the rights and opin-

wanted to prove that these accusations
were erroneous and to prove this he
