A Doctor OF Divinity. now Editor OF
a weu-knogn Religious paper, has writ
ter regarding the controversy between
Golfers weekly and the Religious Press
OF the Country and others, including
ourselves. also regarding suits for libel
brought by Golfers against us for COM
menting upon its methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out:
The religious Press owes you a debt
OF gratitude for your courage in showing
up Golfers Weekly as the ''Yen-Oh
Man" Would you care TO use the in
closed article on the boo Hoo Baby
as the "'Yell-Oh Mans" successor?

When the grass was sweet to the brown bare feet
That dmped the laughing heather;
When the lark sang TO the summer dawn

Echoed lts night over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave usl
We are old. old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God gave us!

EASTER.

Easter is the Oldest and the most
emphasized festival of the Christian
church. The festival Of the resurrec-
ton was made much of long before
the festival Of the birth was thought
Of. Eusebius, Christian historian
of the fourth century, tells us that the
festival had taken on Importance early
enough that discussion had arisen as
early as the year 159 over its date. one
branch of the church had formed the
custom of observing the day of the
month on the day of the week when
the resurrection was believed to have
occurred the other preferred keeping
the day of the year.
Throughout at least eighteen CEN
turies, therefore, the Easter festival
has been to the church day of de-
claration of the belief without which,
according to its chief doctrinal author
ity. all Christian preaching and belief
are vain, the belief in the risen Christ
But the origin of the festival Of the
risen life is back of the Christian era,
and broader than any race or religion.
The triumph of spring over winter, the
resurrection of plant life, gave our
German ancestors an "Ostern" long be-
fore they heard of the resurrection in
the garden of Joseph. The eggs which
play a part in our Easter observance
were symbols of resurrection in the
mythologies Of pre-C Christian peoples.
This goes to explain how Easter is
almost universally accepted as day
of rejoicing regardless of religious be-
lief The rising of nature, a perpetual
miracle, is universal in it's appeal and
makes Easter one of the happiest and
most hopeful of the worlds days.

SENATORIAL CRITICISM.

One of the members of the senate
finance committee is reported to have
said that the state was expending a
large amount of money for the univer-
sity, and there was nothing to show
what had been done with 1t. If the
senator really desires information, it
is easily had. OF the $630,000 appropri-
priated by the last legislature, $350000
was expended for salaries and wages,
and the name and salary of each EN- :
ploye appears on pages 8 to 81 of the
printed biennial report, a copy of
which is furnished to each member. If
he will compare this pay roll in gross
amount of individual salaries with the
payrolls of other universities having
the same attendance, he will discover
that the expenditure is exceedingly
small. Of the balance $4,000 was ex-
pended for general current expenses,
the items of which appear on pages
SO to Ill of the report BY comparison
with other institutions, this is very low.
The remaining 100000 was expended
for new buildings, equipment, repairs,
improvements, farm departments. the
items of which appear on pages 112 to
f62 of the report. If the senator desires
to see the original vouchers they are
accessible at any time.
In view of the absolute publicity of
all university accounts, each item pass
ing through the auditors Office, such
a remark as is attributed to the sena-
tor can only be explained as hostility
to the university If a senator does not
believe in higher education II is his
privilege to attack 1t. This does not
iniure Its standing. To assail the good
name of the university by insinuation
ms to its accounts when the public
records show the indisputable fact that
the regents have maintained univer-
sity at lower cost in all lines than
any other like institution having the
same attendance. is inexcusablc.
