OF the time OF Jesus. az the Jews
used eggs at the feast OF the Pass

each other colored eggs at the New
Year. In Scotland the young people
used TO go hunting for Wild fowls
eggs for Easter morning breakfast
and the finders we're supposed 20 be
lucky.
Many OF the Easter customs come
from the worship OF the Teuton,c

RECIPROCITY TO THE FRONT.

Canadian Reciprocity is to be put
to the front OF the Congressional
program. In the Democratic House
caucus, reciprocity was given the first
place to be followed Immediately by
a revision OF Schedule X. or the
Wooden Schedule OF the Tariff Bill.
There is no doubt, therefore. that the
reciprocity bill will pass the
House OF Representatives in the
near future. and in all probability IL
will meet a friendly reception in the
Senate. Had the reciprocity bill
come to a fair vote in the last Sen
ate it would have passed. In the
present Senate a number OF progress
sive members occupy the places held
by former opponents. 1t is not i'm
probable that the reciprocity bill will
have passed the House OF Congress
and become a law early In June.
Thus We can confidently anticipate
the first great step toward a friendly
alliance with a great English-speak-
ing territory. whose people. whose
history. whose ideals. habits OF
thought and manner OF living are like
unto our own.
Reciprocity means more than
merely trade relationship. 1t means
a distinct approach toward a fra
ternal union. II not a political union
between the United States and Can
ada. 1t means the establishment OF
all our relations on lines OF friend
ship and fraternal interest, instead OF
Jealousy and suspicion. The mission
Of the new world has been 10 teach
the old how neighbor nations may
live in harmony and peace. develop
Ing their individual interest for the
benefit OF themselves. and their
neighbors. seeking not TO destroy but
TO protect their upbuild. No better
example Of the possibility Of world.
wide peace can be furnished than
the harmonious and friendly rela-
lions between the United States and
her northern neighbor.

DOLLAR DIPLOMACY.

Dollar diplomacy. the term used
to describe the combination OF in
ternational politics with commerce
and trade, may be carried too far. Ii
seems to be approaching pretty near
the danger limit In the United States.
The State OF Argentine has been fur.
nished plans for two mammoth war
ships, by the United States govern.
ment on the implied condition that
the building OF these ships shall be
let to American ship builders. En-
enlargement OF American trade and
industry is a commendahle thing.
The surrender OF national secrets for
that purpose is not something that
will be received with general ap-
proval.
There Is more than suspicion
that the massing OF federal troops
along the Rio Grande was inspired, IL
not demanded. by the representatives
OF American capital invested in
Mexico. A great majority OF the
American people are entirely salts
fed to keep their investments at
home. American investors. who ven
ture their money abroad. do so
knowing the risk they take. While
the honor Of the American flag and the
dignity OF the American nation ought
constantly to be maintained, they
are not to be invoked in the interest
Of every petty enterprise in which
an American dollar may have been
risked
