OUR MERCHANTS AGAIN.

In our last issue we spoke word
in favor Of our own merchants and
tried to impress upon conference Wis
itors from this county that they should
spend their money at home. We ven.
tured the assertion that the Salt
Lakers would hold out every induce,
ment to catch the country dollar. That
we did not miss the mark is eviden-
ced by the following from the Herald
Republican;
salt Lake merchants have found
that conference visitors usually have
their purses wit hthem, and no OBJ
lection to lOosening the strings If
they find something worth their while
The most tempting bargains of the
season will be spread before their de-
lighted gaze, and inspection will show
them that they can do better in Salt
Lake than anywhere else in the coun,
try"
Conference visitors most certainly
do have their purses with them, for
1t is the country people that have the
money, and they have no objections
to loosenig the strings II they find
something worth while. But we main.
tain that they can find just as many
bargains at home as they can in Salt
Lake City. We disagree with our biz
state daily In the statement that they
can do better in Salt Lake than any
where else in the country" Our rea
son for disagreeing is because tn,
statement is not true. individuals cal

The Mack Swain Stock company

 The mother claiming her child on her coming thanked her grate-i fully for the kindness shown that a warm feeling of appreciation added to the happiness of the invalid, and she found that the day had been one of more joy than she had thought would be possible for her.
 T could not go out to find Easter joy,'' she said, ESQ it has come to me, and have had happy day, after all
 The time was when this great festi-- Its observance was confined to few churches, whose joy in it was in- creased by the devotion and self-de- nial of the previous Lenten season Now a-days all denominations have some special plan of study and work during Lent, and vie with each other in celebrating Easter day with appro- prIate services and beautiful decora- tions. This means progress, for so beautiful custom cannot spread too generally or be too well observed.
 But can we feel the same about the almost entirely into a social holiday? :? How ought we to feel about the Easter parade as occurring in larger com- munities? These parades seem to be entlrely deVOteQ 10 the dlsplHy Ol uue clothes. There is an element or right feeling in wearing ones best to places of worship; the common clothing of everyday wear may well be replaced by apparel of finer sort, for nothing IS too good for the house of worship, but there the line should be drawn be- tween showy attire worn for yanity's sake, and dainty apparel to show ap- preciation of the day.
 Easter offerings formerly meant gifts for Gods service, and were the result of much forethought on the part of the giver. They represented self denial and devoted work from many a faithful believer, looking forward to the joy of bringing an Easter gift to the great feast. But what do we see

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Que.tions Worthy of Notice.

Mr. Editor: r:-The points raised by N B. Williams in his letter to The Bulletin of April 12 are worthy of mo- tice. He says. in part:
 Mir. Editor: If there was a law for bidding any one visiting tho North pole, is there any such evidence that Peary ever saw it., as to lead to his corryictiou2 ? If not was it wise for congress to make him rear admiral at salary of s6,0eo a year for lifee If. not a benefit and stimu- lated no one to pursue the cause of right, why should congress pass the resolution ?-N. B. Williams"
 The above naturally turns ones thoughts to morals, on large scale But. dear Mr. Williams. what could congress do to satisfy. politically, the "club" friends of Peary when they 1ike the man who whipped his moth erin -Iawl pleaded extenuating cir cumstances, but with an apology for causing him trouble, rush through a sort of hofhouse forcing and fix Peary up a box dramatically sealed with a cover of glass so he can see through it and be sure it is there all right,

CLUE.


 Stats Highway Commissioner Mac Donald hos received the endorsement of the New Haven Automobile club and tho Now Haven Journal Courier says: "The members of the club have more than ordinary opportunt- ties to judge of it, and that he is de- sciaped by them to have done his work yen and to have kept in advance of otAar states is feather in his cap" Ignorance of tho commissioners ' dutiss and his responsibilities has called down upon his head severe crit icisn and influential opposition; but when he is heard, and his layouts are examined, many of his defamers &C., knowledge their error and become his friends.
 X aThe Journal Courier says:
 MT. Macdonald has adhered to cer- tain Fundamental principles of road building and 1t would now appear that in doing SO he has earned the support of the automobilists.
 We are glad of the opportunity to note this vote of confidence in Com- missioner Mcdonald. He is entitled to have it spread upon the newspaper records and thereby derive such ad- vantage as may flow from it. We have no knowledge of Governor Bald wins intentions in the matter of MT; MacDonald's successor, but we can imagine in the case of any governor that the task of finding a better equipped man than the present com missioner would be 2 most difficult one"
 It would be real loss to the good roads interests of Connecticut to have new man given charge of such an important and well designed and well forwarded enterprise, which shows eff ficiency for the whole fourteen years of the commissioners service.

What can Easter be to me this year Y sighed the invalid as she real- ized the impossibiIity of joining with the others in her usual worship on that day, She had hoped her health would be sufficiently restored to allow her to go to church oh Easter day: but 1t had turned out differently. and great disappointment 1t was to her.
 Earnest and faithful in all church work. she was even more earnest and greatest festival had always been g delight to her. which she communi- cated to others. Her cheery good morning" at the church door, still rings in my ears, accompanied on Easter by 'tHe is risen!' Evidently the Lenten season of preparation had been profitably spent by her, and her joy eliminated on this day and showed itself in every line of her smiling face. How hard it was for her to be kept from it all, we less devoted ones could not understand.
 Lying on her bed, she pictured to herself the lights, the flowers, the va rious hangings and decorations of the altar and it's surroundings, and her heart sank within from sadness, and her eyes filled with tears at the vls- ion. Housing herself from her reyerie, she determined to find joy for someone else, if there was to be none for her.
 T cannot go to church on Easter day." said she to a care-WOfn mOtner in her neighborhood, but leave your little one with me. and go yourself"
 "She will be too much for you. I fear" was the reply, though your offer is very kind and a great tempta- tion, I admit"
 Mot at all. was the answer. Wen consider that settled, them and al- ready she felt repaid by the grateful look which brightened the tired face of the over-worked mother.
 Easter morning opened bright and clear, for the great feast came later than usual that year, and the sunshine seemed to have entered her heart and soul and reflected itself on all who came within her influence.
 Early in the day came box of flowers from one who remembered those who were kept in on that day. These were followed by a pot of daf- fodils from another, so that she felt that part of Easter joy was in being remembered by others. She had borne in previous years an active share In it. Now she was to know the pleasure Of receiving from others Many Easter cards had arrived for her the previous day, but all had been laid aside to be read today; and the thoughts thus ex pressed were sufficient to fill her mind with food for contemplation during the entire day. When the other members of the family came home from church they found her in a happy, contented frame of mind. ready to enjoy their description of all they had seen and heard Much of the church's devotion had been at hand for her reading, and though not with the worshdppers in bodily presence, she had joined with

NOT PRIVILEGED NUIsANcEs.

There is movement on foot in Rhode Island to put legal check up- on the automobiles which pour forth a volume of malodorous. preventable smoke, and keep it up as an evidence of the siouchiness and inefYiciency of the driver. There is an effort being made there to amend the automobile law so that there will not be an unreasonable amount of smoke from any motor vehicle on the highways where the territory con- tiguous thereto is closely built up. ~
 The Providence Journal says upon this proposed addition to the law:
 The majority of cars cause very little annoyance on business and res idence streets, but some discharge as much smoke as a large chimney; and because of it's pungent odor this smoke is more offensive than that from soft coal Smoke indicates that the motor needs attention, and the chauffeur who does not comply with the terms of a reasonable law should be compelled to do so or to find another occupation The public has endured motor-car smoke long enough
 This bill is supported by the Rhode Island Automobile club. the League of land, and the law department of tho city of Providence.
 The Journal says: "The geSe-a assembly will make no mistake ir, passing the amendment desired"

JAhIToRs UNDER SUPERVISION,

In these days there is no defence for filthy school houses. but where politics plays a part in public school life there never fails to be gross i'm efficiency displayed somewhere.
 A true bill has been found against the Prospect street school at Bridge port, as dirty place. and The Stan !dard says:
 But with sand so plenty and soar so cheap the effective remedy should be applied and janitors should be held responsible fer the proper doing of the work. Judge Wheeler's sugges- tion that the janitors be put under the control of the superintendent of build- ings is a good one and they and he should be held to strict account for conditions What is janitor of a public school for. any way? After this shaking up by Judge Wheeler, for which all the people are indebted tt him, we shall probably have a sharper lookout at Prospect street school. and doubtless elsewhere, also"
 If there was always strict super vision over the janitor there is no doubt the work would be better done everywhere. Bridgeport is not alone in such negligence of duty as this

 New we learn from New York that Inc rainfall for the first three months pf 1o1f Is lower than last year.
