EASTER, A MOVABLE FESTIVAL

Immediately following the 14th day of
the Paschal moon, which happens on
or first after the vernal equinox. The
vernal equinox invariably falls on
March 81. Easter, therefore, cannot
occur earlier than March %, nor later
than April %. That is, Easter is al
ways the first Sunday next after the
full moon that follows the 21st of
March, except, if this full moon should
happen on a Sunday, Easter will be
the next Sunday after
The earliest date on which Easter
occurred in this new century was in
1902 on March 30-the latest in 1905
on April 23.

GRAFTON COUNCIL CHANGES
First Decided To Cut Fee To 5000
Up to $1,000 Now.

The city council of Grafton having
aroused a storm of Indignation by
voting to reduce the annual liquor IL
cense fee from $1,000 to 5000, recon
sidered its action.
After some members had explained
why they had voted for the reduction
it was decided by unanimous vote
to let the maximum fee remain. One
of the councilmen said he had been
misinformed that he had been told
that if the license remained at $1,000
but five saloons would take it out.
while at $500 u saloons would keep
in business. There are now IA apph-
cants for license at the $1,000 rate.

EFFECT OF HIGH LICENSE

Hagerstown, Md. April 10.--lndica
tons are lint about hat Of the 100
saloons now doing business in Wash

as result OF the new high license
law. After noon today applications
cannot be filed, the law requiring that
notice be published 20 days before
May ]. Up TO the time the courthouse
closed Thursday evening but IL appli-
cations had been filed.
1t is not so much the increased IL
cense, which is $500 in Hagerstown
and $3.50 in the county, as the great
responsibility imposed upon the bonds
men that causes the decrease in the
number of saloons.
Each saloonkeeper is required to
give bond for $4,000, with two
bondsmen, each worth $4,000 in real
estate and living within two miles of
the place of sale. No person is per-
mitted to sign more than one bond
Lawyers who have made a study of
the law hold that the bondsmen are
not only responsible financially for
any fines that may be imposed on the
for violations of the law.
but also for injuries growing out OF
the violations.

ACTIVE TAFT CAMPAIGN
Secretary's Managers in Washing
ton and Ohio Busy.
OTHER CAMPAIGNS ARE STALE
Tsfts Opposing Candidates For Pres
idency Are Making Little Effort,
1t lis Said.

Washington, ID. c., April lit Is
becoming evident that the campaigns
OF various republican candidates for
the presidency are growing stale.
Practically the only work that is be-
ing done is for Secretary Taft. His
campaign is being pressed vigorously
by both Frank Hitchcock the secre-
taryis manager in Washington, and by
Arthur I vorys, the Ohio manager at
Columbus.
ut is too early" said a senator who
has been closely identified with sew
eral previous national campaigns. ito

Taft are letting the situation go by

or by the candidates collectively who
No Offices or headquarters have been
established and only small amount
of campaign literature Is being dis
tributed Nobody but Taft seems to
care much about the nomination"
Washington newspaper correspon-
dents, always alert for good political
news, are able to find little of real
value here. Through Manager Hitch
cocks headquarters, they have follow
ed the Taft campaign Closely but the
work along the lines of only one can
didate has grown monotonous.
Some important efforts are being
made to bring about a denomination
of President Roosevelt The efforts |
are being carefully guarded. however.
and no details are given to the public
through the newspapers. What this
work may amount to it is now i'm
possible to foretell
In the last week more uninstructed |
delegates to the Chicago convention
have been elected than in any pre-
vious week. but. nevertheless, the pr ,
portion of instructions for Secretary |
Taft continue large. The situation,
however, is practically unique in
American politics. Among the dele
gates instructed for Taft there are i
many anti-Taft men; and among those |
elected as uninstructed delegates
there are a good many Taft adherents.
Among the delegations of states
which have "favorite son" candidates
the sentiment is curiousy muddled. !
Not a single one of the favorite sons
with the possible exception of La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, can deliver
his state delegation to any particular
candidate, unless the candidate should
hanuen to be President Roosevelt, |
himself. Among the avowed candi-
dates for the nomination, the delega-
lions from the favorite son states
would be divided seriously. Thus far.
no effort has been made by the oppon-
ents of Secretary Taft to combine
upon any candidate, and, from all out
ward appearances, such an EFFORT
if made, would prove futile.
That some doubt about the election
of the nominee of the Chicago conven-
ton is growing among the leaders OF
the republican party and among 'he
people of the country is beyond ques-
ton. This growing doubt may ac
count for the Mstlessness OF the pre-
liminary campaign and to the increas-
ing feeling that the nomination WI
go eventually either to Secretary Tart
or to President Roosevelt
