Lenten Season With Us.

Yesterday, March LIST. was Ash
Wednesday or the beginning of Lent,
the annual season of fasting in the
spring observed by many churches as a
preparation for the great feast of Eas-
ter. The duration of Lent is forty
days, the six Sundays occurring in this
period are excluded from Lent for the
reason that Sunday is always feast,
hence they are called Sundays in, not
of, Lent.
In the early church, the duration of
Lent either was not fixed or varied in
the churches in different places, but
from the early part of the Fourth con-
fury. the period of fasting appears to
have Appropriated more or less closely
in most places to forty days.
II the eastern church, Lent, called
often Great Lent or the Great Feast,
to distinguish it from three other peri
DDS of fasting to which the name Lent
is applied by western writer's, begins
on the Monday after Quinquagesima.
The forty days are recorded as being
kept after the example of Moses and
Elijah and above all as concentrating
the fasting of Christ.
la the Riddle Ages when Lent was
applied to other seasons of fasting, the
spring fast was called Greu Lent or
Clear Lent, the latter name probably
alIuding to the preceding confession
and absolution.

Express Companies Win.

Efforts Of Illinois shippers to get re-
lief from the high rates Of the express
companies have been muled for the
present by United States Circuit Judge
Kohlsaats decision that the Illinois
Railroad Commission has no authority
over the express companies. The adj
vantage gained by the companies is be
lieved to be short-lived, however, be-
cause the legislature is expected to
confer additional authority upon the
Commission. The case went to the
federal court upon the motion Of the
express companies to be granted an in
junction against interference.
II is hoped the advantage gained will
be short, shorter really than the pro-
verbal triumph Of the wicked, as the
express companies keep brazenly at
work fleeing the public.
