THE FESTIVAL OF HOPE
By MABEL FoRD-LEAkE.

The worlds greatest festival is Easter, the beautiful and consoling Festival of Hope It commemorates the greatest re- birth after death in all human history, when a religion whose founder had fg- unanimously perished and whose apostles consisted of II potroons and one traitor, was fortified by belief in stupendous miracle and, so fortified was able in three centuries to conquer the western world. Today all that is beautiful and what Is best in our civilization rests upon the Christian philosophy with it's great cen- tral human doctrine of the brotherhood of men.
 Appropriately celebrated In spring, Easter also stands for natures greatest continuing miracle of rebirth and repro- duction.
 We live truly in a world of life and progress not one of death and decay. From among the dead and withered leaves of yesterday always spring the del- icate dainty wild flowers of today. Good causes for which men sacrifice them- selves even unto death spring up with increased renewed vigor from the seeds of martyrdom Always that which is best survives.
 Out of labor and trouble spring progress and light Our little heart-rending sor- rows are swallowed up in the great life current which is steadily sweeping all creation on to unknown destinies.
 On this, the worlds greatest festival,

Styles of Enuravinu.

 Engraving in the strictest sense of the word Is s''the art of scratching marks or figures upon ta blets of any hard substance" In narrower sense 1t is used designate the cutting of designs upon metal plates or blocks of wod for the purpose of printing m- pressions from them upon paper or some other lge substance with ink.
 The methods of producing these i'm pressions may be by engravink on wood or on metal. The latter method Is used more extensively today, and copper is the metal most commonly used to engrave upon. Steel has ercently been largely used on account of its hardnes and greater dura bility, but 1t is less easily engraved upon than cop per and the resulting print is likely to be less free and artistic In It's lines

TAMMANY TRIUMPH.

Now that the "joy-riding" bosses up
at Albany have run their steam roller
machine over the Hughes direct pri-
mary bill, Tammany leaders are open
ly boasting to-day that this metropo'
lis is as good as won for them to loot
for another four years. With the
primary polls in their pockets as OF
old. the henchmen of Murphy are al
ready setting about the selection Of a
slate on which only the names of their
creatures are to appear. If Gotham
is left a prey to the Tammany tiger
after the coming election, the people
may blame their plight straight back
to this gagging of Hughes efforts for
direct primaries, it is conceded by
political observers here. That the
bosses Of the wigwam are not going
to walk easily away with this offer
ing from their confederates at Albany
is shown by the awakening sentiment
for real primary vote for the peo'
pie which is every where following
the scandalizing work of the machine
legislators. In throttling the COVER
nor's primary measure in the same
session in which they did to death a
bill to regulate the corporations it is
believed the bosses have wrought the
beginning of their end hereabouts.

THE POPE is OPPOSED.
Head OF The Catholic Church Does
Not Approve OF Women In Politics.

NEW YORK. April 22.-The an
nouncement from Rome that Pope
Plus is opposed 10 women in politics
created much interest among the par
sisans to both sides Of the suffrage
movement here. Mrs. Mary G. Hay,
a leading suffragette, declared that
nothing the Pope could say would
binder women from lighting for what
they believed to be right. Frederick
Nathan whose wife is one of the
leading clubwomen OF the country,
takes a similar view. On the other
hand, Mrs. Gilbert E. Jones, leading
anti-suffragette applauded the pope
for the stand he had taken.
Father Whine, editor of the Mes
senger. a leading Catholic publication
is Of the opinion that his holiness did
not mean that women should not en-
Joy equal rights with men, but that
tfey should not permit their political
activities to interfere with the prim'
ary duties Of the home. He said that
as Catholic women recognize this the
suffrage movement has never been
very popular with them.

clause in the bill Of lading limiting
the shortage of grain to one half
bushel in a thousand bushels. Ger

Canadian ships were accepting chart

result the Canadian Grain trade was

minion government wired the associa-
ton to revert to the old order OF
things and vessels will now accept
shipments on the best terms they can
make.
