Shall it remain in the hands of the

ticians who would not hesitate to
destroy the corporate wealth of the

thereby? No, the people are tired

now open to conviction and every

ton in this State.
An opportunity of a life time ie
now open to the Republicans of this
State. Will he grasp it? The thing
most needed now in the Republican
party is thorough and compact or.
ganization from top to bottom. In
the beginning Of this work.. we must
look carefully to the personal OF
the men who are to be selected fol
the various chairmsnships from pre-.
cinct chairman to the Chairman OF
the State Executive Committee.
These should be men of ability, men
who are loyal to the party and will
put enthusiasm into their work,
men who have proven their worth
by their work, men who desire to
see the psrty grow and become the
majority party in the State, men
who place the success of the party
and the principles that it represents
above personal gain. Such men will
conduct campaign that will draw
good men to us.
We have sometimes had men at
the head of the various committees
who held the positions for what
they, as individuals, could make out
of them. They have in some in
stances encouraged and participated
in factional fights. They have de-
nounced and read out Of the party
men who have disagreed with them
on party policies. No party can
grow with such men at it's head.
Such conduct is repulsive to good
men Of any party. We have the
opportunity now to correct this evil
in this campaign. Will we do it {?
We have suitable men for these
positions in every section. Let us
find them before the meeting Of our
conventions. When they are Sc

While the Democratic State Ex-

in Raleigh last week a resolution
was introduced by one Of the mem
bers endorsing William J. Bryan for
president and Charles B. Aycock
for vice-president. The resolution
was discussed a good deal but was
laid on the table. The Committee
explained their course in the matter
by saying it was not the business of
the Executive Committee to endorse
anyone, that the Convention should
pass upon such questions. It Is the
opinion of some that even the State
Convention will refuse to endorse
Bryan-but if it does refuse it will
be known to all men that the News

Eggs Typify Rebirth.

There are many superstitions In
connection with Easter, and each
country has custom Of celebrating
it peculiar to itself; but while each
varies, they all unite to observe the
the spirit of Springtime, and all
Christians rejoice that the Lord of
Life forever won victory over death.
Among the many quaint supersti-
tions is the old Aryan one which
typifes the return of the sun of
Springtime by a golden egg-eggs
being distributed at the early equi-
nox by priests to strengthen the
hopes of the people that the bleak,
cold days Of winter might soon
cease and brighter time ensue.
The Persians believed that the
earth was Matched from an immense
egg on Easter morning; the Aryans
also believed the sun to be q large
golden egg which was constantly
rolling nearer to the earth.
With the Jews, says the April
Delineator, the egg became type of
their rescue from the land of bond.
age, and in their Feast of the Pass
over, eggs occupied a conspicuous
place in the services. It was their
connection with the latter that
finally caused them to be used by
Christians the world over in cele-
brating Easter-the egg of resurrec-
tion into a new life, bringing a
message of lifo from death, as it
were.
The Tyrolese Esster egg is similar
to our valentines, for besides being
most beautifully tinted they have,
in unique lettering, notices repre-
senting appropriate wishes for the
recipient.
The priests of Italy bless all eggs
brought to service on Easter morn
ing, and each person carries his back
home, where they are placed on a
kind Of altar arranged for the pur-
pose, surrounded by lighted candles
and often flowers then each MEM
