Natural Resources.

We endorse the movement inau-
gurated by the administration for the
conservation of natural resources: we
approve all measures to prevent the
waste of timber; we commend the
work now going on for the reclama-
ton of arid lands and reaffirm the Re
publican policy of the free distribu-
ton OF the available areas of the pub
lie domain to the landless settler. No
obligation of the future is more insist
ent and none will result in greater
blessings to posterity. In line with
this splendid undertaking is the fur
Their duty, equally imperative, to enter
upon systematic Improvement upon
a large and comprehensive plan, Just
to all portions of the country, of the
waterways, harbors and Great Lakes,
whose natural adaptability to the in
creasins traffic of the land is one of
the greatest gifts of benign Provi-
dence.
The Army and Navy.
The Slxtleth congress passed many
commendable acts increasing the eff
cheney of the army and navy AL
though at peace with all the world and
secure in the consciousness that the
American people do not desire and
will not provoke a war with any other
country we nevertheless declare our
unalterable devotion to policy that
will keep this republic ready at all
times to defend her traditional doc
trines and assure her appropriate part
in promoting permanent tranquility
among the nations.
Merchant Marine.
We adhere to the Republican doc
trine of encouragement to American
shipping and urge such legislation as
will revive the merchant marine pres
tige of the country, so essential to ma
tional defense, the enlargement of
foreign trade and the industrial pros
perity of our own people.
Veterans OF the Wars.
Another Republican policy which
must be ever maintained is that of
generous provision for those who have

the widows and orphans OF those who
have fallen. We commend the in
crease in the widows pensions made
by the present congress and declare
for liberal administration of all pen
sion laws to the end that the peoples
gratitude may grow deeper as the
memories of heroic sacrifice grow
more sacred with the passing years.
Cuba, Porto Rico and Philippines.
The American government, in Re-
publican hands. has freed Cuba, given
peace and protection to Porto Rico

Some Evening Reveries.

hle OF the year, is like a general
who rides amid the plaudits of his
army, the symbol of victory on his
helm.
AS Mount Blanc rises among the
, lesser Alps, piercing the clouds
with it's sheen of weird and mystic
beauty, so towers this day above all
other days, bearing on it's front a
significance more profound and a
splendor more transcendent.
On Good Friday the shadow of
death, horizons wide, covered the
heavens from view. So o'ercloud-
ed was the earth that grief and
loss were alone in sight. The life
of the Nazarene, a life of self-sacri-
flee for the peoples sake, had end
ed in the martyrs doom. He was
born of race that has never ceased
to excite the admiration of the his
torical critic. He followed in the
footsteps of the earlier prophets,
but was so much more far-seeing
and autocratic that His claim to be
the son of God was acknowledged
with hosannas when he entered
Jerusalem in triumph. But, his
career was abruptly brought to a
close and his body laid in the tomb.
That grim tyrant, Death, who
rules mortality with relentless sway,
and drives young and old alike, dis
daining all favoritism, into the
gloom of the hereafter, had demand
ed and accepted his surrender.
From that Friday afternoon until
the third morning thereafter, when
the son rose above the hill tops of
the Judean landscape, His disciples
were broken hearted, and the proph-
Eecy that he would rise again was re-
garded as the fgment of an enthu-
siast's fancy. They were drowned
in the rising tide of their unspeak
able disappointment and chagrin.
The King had succumbed and ap
parently contradicted His own glow
ing words of promise. There was
nothing left but to return to their
humble vocations and forget their
hopes and dreams as best they
could.
But the third morning came and
with it the most astonishing occur
renee that ever stirred the pulse.
The tomb was empty! Death had
been robbed of his victory Grim
Death, who claimed all, had sur
rendered to a mightier than him
self! ;
With that empty tomb in view,
Immortality became radiant fact.
Hearts stood still in unutterable
and eyes unused to tears
were drenched in brine. The doors
of another world swung wide ON
their golden hinges aud a new and
higher motive throbbed in the bos-
pm of the race. :,
