supply and Demand.

Theoretical political economists
who gather wisdom from books in
stead of actual living conditions
argue that present abnormal high
prices are due to the inevitable law of
supply and demand.
1t would be comfortable theory If
true, but the facts are against the
learned professors.
/. The law of supply and demand is
only automatic where there is free
competition When the trusts stife
competition, or corner commodities.
they knock abstract political economy
into a cooked hat. The law of supply
and demand means nothing.
This applies particularly to those
trusts that secure-usually through
the manipulation of tariff schedules
a monopoly in commodities that enter
into the daily lives of consumers.
When monopoly can raise the price of
foodstuffs, clothing. building material
or any other of Iife's necessities, il
has merely placed an artificial tax on
consumers. 1t has juggled with the
Law of supply and demand.
The tariff is the mother of trusts.
Every monopoly in the United States

tificial taxation does so in the main
through tariff schedules. II is by this
standard that the Aldrich-Taft law.

In the way of gifts Easter is fast be-

TONERS reap an immense harvest from
this custom of Eastertide. Any fresh
growing thing, from pot of hyacinths
to stately Easter lily or handsome

the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. t
is in bonbon holders, however, to a
great extent that the typical Easter
gift is most apt to be found, and very
costly they are despite the airy unsub-
stantiality of some of them.
The display in the shops is bewilder-
ing Great straw eggs are made of col
ored braids interviewer with gilt and
have large straw rings ready for hang
ing them. When one of these wicker
eggs parts in the middle, the interior is
seen lined with peachblow satin, so
that it may act conveniently as work
basket when its mission as candy
holder is over.
Eggs of various colors, covered with
satin and exquisitely hand painted,
open to reveal sweets within. Some
are lined and wadded and answer for
ring or cuff button cases.
Dainty bonbon cases are made of fine
porcelain, decked off with flowers of
various hues. Some choice china bon

only prayer books, crosses, rosaries,

HOW EASTER rs FIXED.
IL Must Be First Sunday After Four
teenth Day of Calendar Moon.


teenth Day of Calendar Moon.
Whether Easter falls in chilly
Marcl or sunny April is a question of
Importance to every holiday maker.
The earliest day on which Easter can
fall is March %, says the London Ex-
press Only once in the last century,
and not once in this century, was this
early date Easter day. Twice in the
nineteenth century it fell on March %
and this will be the date only once in
the present century-in the year 1913.
The latest possible Easter day is
April 25. This was the date once in
the last century and will be once in
the present-in 1913. Five weeks sep
arate these extremes, so that the ques-
ton of date involves about two hours
of daylight and considerable differ
ence in temperature. Most Casters
fortunately will happen in April. Dur
ing the next twenty years there will
be sixteen April casters and only four
in March.
Originally the Christian Easter was
the same day as the Jewish feast of
the Passover, but in early Christian
times a change was made. The Pass
over is the 14th day of the Paschal
moon and Easter was fixed as the first
Sunday after the 14th day
The fixing of the day is a compli-
Gated and difficult process. 1t must
follow the vernal equinox, and so the
solar year has to be taken into &C
count 1t must follow the fourteenth
day of the Paschal moon, and conse-
quently the lunar month has to be con-
sidered, and with these conditions the
days of the week have to be recon-
ciled, as Easter day must be Sun
day.
The rule observed is that Easter
shall be the first Sunday following the
fourteenth day of the calendar moon,
which happens on or after March q.
This calendar moon is not the real
moon of the heavens, but an imagin-
airy moon. created for ecclesiastical
purposes.
Nor is March 81 always the date of
the vernal eq'>'nox. 1t is usually the
goth and sometimes the 18th. The
date of Easter is therefore quite arti-
fetal.
On the date of Easter most of the
great church festivals depend. The
beginning of Lent, Ash Wednesday, is
determined by the date of the end,
Faster Sunday, and so is Whitsunday,
the seventh Sunday after Easter day.

pretty Easter Custom.

'In my country" says a Mexican
matron, Easter is the season when
one sends flowers TO every,friend and
neighbor and to all the strangers with

way of washing them welcome and an

IIliteracy and l.osrage.

Ten years ago we were told that
the least illiterate of all the countries
in the world. To-day the United States
stands at the head of enlightened ma
tions No people in the world have so
much literature. and literature at so
small an expense. as we have. And lit
erature means the light"
In the distribution of this printed
matter the second-class privilege has
been compelling factor. Moreover, it
has encouraged the publication of
great number or periodicals, having
first educated men to read, and next to
write and print Just as the public
schools are public institutions, main
tanned by general tax, regardless of
the number of children you have. so is
the postage rate on periodicals an edu-
cational enterprise.
1t will not do to ask at this day, "Is
the function of government educa-
tional?" Thomas Jefferson answered
that in the affirmative once and for
ever. And Franklin prophesied day
when it would be nothing else. The
government printing Office is the big
gest printery in the world. 1t provides
literature, gratis, postage paid, on for
estry, gardening. fisheries, the raising
of guinea hens and over four hundred
other different items pertaining to
farming and manufacturing Our for
eign consuls are all ordered to supply
us knowledge concerning what the
world is doing and trying to do. This
knowledge is distributed by the gov
ernment. The department of the in
terror loans photographs and lantern
slides of thousands of most interesting
and valuable subjects to any citizen of
repute, all prepaid and without fee.
Geographical, geological and topical
maps are to be had for the asking.
Seeds and plants are distributed by the
ton, with advice concerning how to get
the best results for our labor. The en-
tire postoffice department is in the
broad sense educational. 1t aims at
the easy, prompt and cheap distribu-
tion of knowledge.
The postoffice department is not run
as a commercial enterprise to make
money, any more than the weather
bureau is run to show a profit. The
navy and army have no income at all,
and they supply us deficit" of a
million dollars a day. Yet. when the
postoffice department fails to show a
profit whole chorus of little states
men lift falsetto howl of pain! If
there is a deficit, let us just thank the
Lord that Uncle Sam has the money to
wipe it out without winking an eye
brow.
The express companies carry second
class mail matter at one cent pound
in competition with the postoffice. If
this were a loss to them they would
let the postoffice have the business.
The reason the express companies can
carry at a cent pound and make
money while the postoffice department
loses is because the express companies
pay the railroads what the service is
worth and your Uncle Sam allows HIM
self to be held up. The moral is, get
all government affairs on a business
basis. To increase postage rates of
any kind or sort at this time is to
deal education a blow, and slap litera-
ture in the face.-Elbert Hubbard in
