THE TOMB OF

IN response to some questions con
corning Charlemagne propounded "a
few days ago the following has been
handed in:
Charles the Great, or. as the French
call him, Charlemagne, built for him,
self a splendid palace at Aix.la.Cha-
pelle In Prussia, also a chapel on the
site OF the present cathedral, and un-
der the chapel a tomb for himself.
He died in the year Sli and his body
was placed In a sitting position in
this tomb nearly two hundred years
afterward, In 1901 the emperor utho
Ill had the vault opened, and II Is
said that the body of the great. EN-.
peror was found in q wonderful state
Of preservation, seated on a marble
throne. dressed In imperial robes. with
his crown on his head, sword by his
side and saber in his hand.
A large picture representing Utho
and his mobiles gazing on the dead EN-
peror, Is painted on the walls OF the
great Don OF the town hall AT AK

peror Barbarossa had the vault open.
ed, and In 1915 Frederick II took the
remains from the vault, and put them
In a casket Of gold and silver, in
which they are still kept in the treas.
ury Of the cathedral.
The marble throne on which the
dead emperor sat for over three hun
dred years Is still to be seen in the
cathedral. II was used as a throne
at the coronation of the German EN-
perors until 1858, after which the en-
perors were crowned at Frankfort.
The crown. and some of the relics
found with the body, are preserved in
Vienna.
The treasury of the cathedral at
Aix-la-Chapelle Is rich in relics, which

PRESS AND PULPIT.

There should be better understand
ing between the church and the press.
Each have a mission to perform, both
striving in a way to attain the same
end in the betterment Of humanity. The
church enunciates its doctrines from
the pulpits, and auxilery organizations
promote social unity among its mem
bers. The good that is to be accom-
plished for humanity cannot be accom-
plished alone from the pulpit, but eacn
individual member is supposed to reach
out and bring in new members to build
up the organization. In this, church
bears a close resemblance to secret
society organized for fraternity and
mutual benefit. The secret societies
have their rituals upon which is found
ed their creeds. The church has the
Bible, which Is the creed and manual
for the government Of its members.
The church depends to a great ex-
tent upon the influence Of the press.
If that influence is exerted in the right
direction. 1t can reach those who are
not communicates, and keep them
posted upon the good they are doing
| for the people. The press is the lever
/ that molds public opinion, and assists
materially in building up society. When
the refining influence of the church Is
thrown around society, 1t becomes a
power for good and an assistant In the
progress Of Christianity. In the mad
rush for the acquisition Of wealth, re-
ligious obligations are often neglected
and it is for this reason that The As
torian has advocated Sunday observ-
ances as a means of bringing about a
better understanding between the pub
lie and the church. The church alone
cannot secure Sunday observance. II

when both work together the influence

mendation for standing by his colors
and who. il he were thus assured OF the
backing of righteous men might be
more disposed to order his public ca
reer according to high ideals.
A minister who had made tour of
the world, on returning home was
rendered reception by his people and
as he and his wife entered the room
which had been handsomely decorated
for the occasion, the first thing that
caught their eyes was motto in big
letters. We love you and We tell you
so" II some of the appreciation whicn
lies buried in human hearts could be
brought definitely to the knowledge of
those for whom II is cherished how it
would ease their burden and brighten
the way.
Let us not take too much for granted
in this busy world; let us not assume
that others know our feelings toward
them: let us go out of our way TO ex-
press in frank. manly way our ad-
miration for those who deserve IL.
Above all let us cultivate an apprecia-
tive rather than a censorious estimate
OF our fellowmen.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1905-01-08

The people OF Astoria must be aducat-
ed up TO this question. II Is not an
infringement on the rights OF anyone
simply a duty we owe to society and
good government.
In nearly all of the eastern cities
especially In the small towns Sunday
is generally observed, The people have
been educated up to It. ana when once
they become accustomed 10 its benign
influence. they cannot be induced to go
back to the old regime, In the west;
the peopel have not been accustomed to
Il, People are more interested In their
material welfare than their spiritual
welfare, The greed FOR gain predomi-
mates to such an extent that people do
not consider the dividing line between
the six days OF the week and the sew
enth, All days look alike to them.
Their children are not taught Sunday
observance, and IN many instances the
functions OF society leave no time for
education OF children.
Observance of Sunday does not mean
"a religious observance. II was intended
as a day of rest from toll, turmoil and
strife and business cares. Those re-
ligiously inclined have their mode OF
observing the Sabbath, The more lib
eral have different ideas. but these do
not enter into the question. the idea
being to have both the laws ennunci-
ated in the Bible and those passed by
legislative bodies observed. at least so
far as business Is concerned II the
laws were universally followed and
lived up TO. the church would not have
to advertise their Sunday services In
order to draw Il crowd. the people
would naturally find themselves there,
and il would be an innovation to a
large contingent of Astoria's popula-
tion. To attain this object. the press
and pulpit must work hand In hand, and
IL the press could be induced to give
one day In the week to the discussion
of religious subjects. the public would
become enlightened upon a subject that
it is apparently ignorant of. Christmas
is universally observed as a day of
family reunion. and II Sunday were to
be observed in the same manner, the
results attained would be marvellous
and a blessing to all mankind.

LACK OF APPRECIATION.

Nine persons out of ten fail in the
capacity for appreciation. They lack
ability to recognize the true meaning
and worth Of art. music and good liter
ature. and, what is still worse. they do
not appreciate or at least do not show
that they appreciate wnat their fellow
men are doing in the world and some
times what they are doing for them
The revelation of this fact came long
ago to a great physician to body and
soul after he had put a group Of ten
sick men in the way Of receiving the
boon of restoration to health. But after
their sudden and joyous recovery only
one of them returned to thank his bene-
factor. Though the latter had had NOR
than one experience Of the ingratitude
Of his fellow this remarkable in
stance of it drew from him the COM
ment; Were there not ten healed and
where are the nine?"
This proportion, nine to one. has neio
through the centuries, and it becomes
us to ask ourselves whether we belong
to the great majority or to the minority
and if we conclude, as most of us will
after honest self searching, that we are
not as appreciative Of others as We
ought to be, we can at once take steps
factor. Though the latter had had more
lust as the capacity to appreciate fine
music and beautiful statuary may be
cultivated. so it is possible to foster
the habit of appreciating our fellow
men.
Try it in the various ranges OF life
in which you move. Begin, where the
opportunity is as inviting as anywhere
namely, in the home. If the child does
a good thing, masters fault, conquers
a temptation, discharges a diff1cult
task, tell him that you appreciate the
deed. If parent spends himself un-
sparingly in the interests of the chill
dren. let the son or daughter stop long
enough to express gratitude. The day
is sure to come wnen you will wish you
had been more demonstrative, and then
It may be too late. If a servant is
capable and trustworthy drop a word
of encouragement now and then.
Wherever men and women work to-
gether in groups, as in shops. offices
or factories, there is a chance for ap-
preciativeness.
We have no sympathy with concerns
run on the principle that it is never
safe to praise an employe, on the
ground that he or she will become un-
duly elated. The best results arise
when there is quick and generous rec
ognition of good work and Of cheer

hands there is a Just yearning among

sEATTLES MAGNANIMITY.

Seattle in the state OF Washington
bears a strong resemblance TO Portland
in the state of Oregon, so far as being
afflicted with porcine qualifications
The business men and politicians of
Seattle have raised a slush fund Of
100000 to be judiciously distributed
among the legislators of the state of
Washington to elect Mr.. Piles United
States senator from that state. or
course the man elected to represent the
state of Washington will not be con-
sidered in the distribution of the loaves
and fishes, the fund being raised to
send an army OF third house represen
tatives to the state capital to plead,
with tears in their eyes. and Doodle in
their pockets. with the representatives
and senators for the election Of Seat
tie man for United States senator.
The man they have selected is a
republican, because the legislature Is
republican. II the legislature was
democratic. the same amount would be
raised to send Seattle democrat to
the senate. The Seattle republicans
are certainly entitled to a representa-
tive of some kind and trustee In the
penitentiary would more than repay
them for what they have done for the
republican party of the state of WASH
ington. The Seattle republicans have
been responsible for every democratic
victory in that state, as when Seat
tie man was not nominated, they knitted
the ticket and voted for the democrat.
For this reason they are unable to go
before the state legislature on their
merits and their steadfast loyalty to
the republican party, but must raise a
slush fund and buy the Office. Seattle
is very magnanimous in this regard.
What they can't steal they can raise
money enough to buy.

prosecute him. But, after having care
