MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Meaning of Easter.
(Somerset Reporter.)


Next Sunday will dawn the glad
Easter day, when the whole civilized
world will celebrate with reverence
the resurrection of the Son of God
the blessed Redeemer of mankind
This event in sacred history stands
as the hope of the world, for if Christ
did not rise, then all preaching is in
VAN, and the future life is not an as
sured fact. For the grave has nc
titles among its sleeping millions.
Silently they all repose together, the
high, the low, the rich and the poor.
Death has no palace but the coffin. no
purple but the shroud; all wear it,
and slumber on. Age is there, youth
is there; so is infancy with it's guile
less sleep. Religion makes it the
pathway to a better land, its shadows
mingled with the light of hope which
ever CLEANS athwart the gloom.
Through it the tide of life is ever
flowing to eternity, bearing youth,
innocence, wealth and fame alike
from the earth. But in all this Christ
came to bring life and immortality to
light. In his resurrection the gloom
of the grave is illuminated, and the
pathway to glory shines with ineffable
ring with joy, and the great heart of
humanity take hope again. Christ is
risen indeed.

Life Insurance by Banks.

A year ago after hard fight
in the Legislature, law was passed in
Massachusetts allowing the savings
banks of that state to go into the life
ditions and restrictions. The first
trial of the experiment is to be made
by a Broclzton savings bank III which
Ex-Governor Douglass is interested. He
furnishes personally the guarantee
fund which the law requires. Other
banks are also making plans to take
the same step. The class of people
expected to take out policies will be
mostly working-men, who usually are
able to buy only industrial insurance. "
The savings banks are not looking for
ward to their new responsibility eager
~. The great question is whether
they can succeed in reducing the cost
of Industrial insurance. The banks will
have the use of an actuary paid for
by the state; their present forces of
clerks Will in all probability suffice;
they will not have to employ agents
to get business: nor need they send
out collectors. TIE conditions ut
Brockton are certainly favorable for
the experiment. The labor unions Of
that city greatly helped the passage of
the bill, and have been urgent in their
demands that the local savings banks
introduce the new feature. The pre-
MUM payments will be changed from
weekly to monthly, and it will be pos
sible Tor persons having savings bank
accounts to meet their dues by0giving
the bank written orders on those ac-
counts. No policy will be written for
more than $500. Banks in other places
have made application for the installa-
ton of insurance departments. and all
will watch the first trial with keen in
terest.

DEFENDING the Alamo.

Down in San Antonio, Texas, there
stands what is left of the Alamo, by
far the most historic structure in the
whole OF the Lone Star State 1t was
built as long ago as 1922 and designed
for the peaceful purposes OF a Fran
ciscan mission, but in the long years
since then it has been the scene OF
many exciting events and of much
bloodshed. The exciting events were
scattered through several generations,
but most of the bloodshed was con-
the Mexicans under Santa Anna, after
losing 500 Of their own men in seige
and assault, massacred the last of the
$50 Texans under Col. Travis, David
Crockett and David Bowie, whose de-
Tense of the place is one of the bright
est chapters in the story of American
heroism. The event gave rise to the
battle-cry Remember the Alamo
which won Texas its independence
from Mexico.
There has been no bloodshed in the
ruins Of the old Alamo of late, but
there has been a revival of exciting
events. The papers have told how
one woman, representing patriotic
society, held the fort for several days
against those who tried to get possess
sion in the name of the law. This
brave woman, whose name is Miss
Adina De Zavala, sends out a circular
telling her side of the story and a
copy Of it comes from distant San An
tonic to the Journal Office: Il is an
appeal for the preservation of the
Alamo and such an appeal is well
calculated to stir the blood of any
good American. 1t seems that a hotel
or land syndicate threatens the de-
stluctiOn of the Alamo, which was
some time ago placed in the custody
of the Daughters of the Republic Of
Texas. Miss De Zavala's appeal is
somew hat hysterical and vague, and
we gather that it is aimed at certain
other patriotic and historic societies
as well at at iconoclastic commercial
ism. Anyway, it is difficult to see
how these outside of Texas can we'll
NEEDLE in the affair. But whatever
the merits or, nature of the controversy
we sincerely hope the Alamo will be
preserved. To destroy or mutilate it
would be little less than sacriege

Out in Oregon they will have to vote
again in June on the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution which
was decisively beaten last year. The
Boston Transcript finds in this situa-
ton a weakness and an injustice in
the initiative and referendum as it pre-

on the opponents of various projects
the burden of making a nearly con-
tinuous fight. Says the Transcript.
The friends of this amendment. for ex-
ample, win if they ever win once, and
presumably win for all the future.
Its opponents. 10 win, must maintain
an unbroken series of victories. fight
ing the question out just as often as
the friends of the project see fit with
in the statutory limitation, to send it
to the ballot for settlement. Wholly
apart from the merits of this particu-
lar amendment, here is a phase of all
initiative and referendum schemes
which should attract the attention of
any other state that may still be con-
sidering them. They put an enormous
leverage in the hands of the propo-
nents of new schemes, or those which,
if adopted once. could be repealed only
with great difficulty, if at all. For
many a project there is considerable
support always in readiness. and hence
it success is assured, unless a natural

aroused. That often means hard ana
