Easter Sunday at Emmanuel Church.

The shepherdless flock was so
blessed as to have the ministration of
Archdeacon Blossom for both Good
Friday and Easter
Surely no one could find fault with
that wonderful three hours on the
score Of Journalism, for even the usual
commemoration Office was not used.
The service consisted solely of
medItations on the words from the
cross. interspersed with prayers.
suitable hymns and intervals for
silent prayers. Oh those meditations
Truly blessed is hs who has the gift
to speak such words Of help and
comfort AS usual a mere handful
gathered for the beginning of the
service, two or three of whom were
not yet of this fold;" but frequent
additions made quite sizable congre-
cation at last.
But to how many the Lord still
calls, by the mouth of His prophet,
in vain: Is it nothing to you, all
We that pass by ?"
A stormy Easter eve caused some
uneasiness but Easter Day dawned
bright and clear.
The altar was made glorious with
Easter lilies and the faithful choir
we're remembered with a beautiful
carnation apiece. The musical part
of the services was even more than
usually spirited and beautiful, and
the two sermons, the morning one. a
mastery summoning up of the proofs
of the Resurrection and the evening a
still more mastery showing forth Of
what the Resurrection means to those
who know Him in the Breaking Of
the Bread" will surely never be
forgotten by those who heard them.

THE CHIEF POLITICAL ISSUE.

Woodrow Wilson, governor of New
Jersey and candid ate for the demo-
cratic nomin alton to the presidency,
is quoted as declaring that ''the time
has COM for this country to free itself
from the burden OF the protective
tariff"
If Mr.. Wilson actually uttered this
view the utterance may cost him the
nomination and will surely cost him
the presidency, says the Spokesman
Review.
Protection is the settled American
policy. The republican party pro.
claims projection to American indus
tries and labor as n Of its basic
principles. The democratic party,
whenever it has been in power, has
practiced the policy of protection. The
people, north and south, east and
west, oppose free trade and will have
nothing to do with q tariff for revenue
only.
Governor Wilson, had he planted
himself on the grounds of reform OF
the tariff, would have commanded the
assent of oil who heard or read his
words. The public demands and ts
determined to have revision OF tariff
schedules in the interest of the con.
sumner as we'll as of the manufacturer
and the producer. But there exists
equal determin alton that there shall
be such protection to the manufac'
turer, to the producer and to labor as
fairly measures the difference between
American and foreign costs OF produc-
ton and assures Americans of equal.
ity in competition with foreigners, OF
maintenance OF American standards
of wages and of the perpetuation OF
the high American levels Of living.
The democrats in congress last year
showed their wish to revise the tariff
in the interest Of politics. Woodrow
Wilson betrsys the democratic desire
to destroy the protective policy.
President Taft and the republicans In
congress have been given the strategic
advantages in the presidential cam.
paign this year, which will turn chief
ly on the tariff. They only need to
stand f%oursquare and immovable by
the policy of scientific, nonpartizan
revision of the schedules along pro.
tective lines.

Advance In Modern Surgery.
Philadelphia Enquirer

In these days surgeons perform
what would have been looked upon as
mircales a few generations ago..
They think nothing of cutting out a
.ection of q mans intestines and uni
ting the two serviceable portions.
Sometimes they remove the stom ach.
There are men living today who
have had bullets extracted from the
heart. Out in Minnesota q couple of
brothers have achieved q world. wide
reputation for operations which were
not formerly impossible, but which are
not often successful anywhere else
even now.
All these things indicate the enor.
nous debt which the world owes to
surgery. 1t NAV be that come knights
of the knife are . trife too anxious to
g examine the interior economy of q
person in pain, but on the whole we
may rejoice that science has done so
much. and to the representatives of
the profession here assembled all Of
US may pay u profound respects
and express Dur gratitude. No man
ever desires to get into the clutches of
q surgeon, but when conditions make
this imperative he has the conscious
ness that bis chances of recovery are
generally good.
A whole list of fatal diseases has
been swept away by modern surgery.

The Cackle Follows the Egg.
Missoula Sentinel.

Missoula Sentinel.
After January l, 1912, eggs laid,
raised, grown, picked or manufac.
tured in Montana must be branded
with brands which will designate
whether they have been laid within
q week, whether they have ever been
packed, and if so how long they have
been in cold storage. Branding Is re.
quired by the state law which goes
into effect this week.
One kind of branding which the
legisl AZURE overlooked is that of the
cackle. Was the egg born with a
cackle? That is . question needful Of
investig alton. For it is rumored these
days that there are eggs which are
made by designing mar with his own
hands, and which never saw the egg
plant of q real, live hen.
That the cackle is q necessary ad.
junct to the production OF good eggs
is shown by the story told of Am.
bassador Choate and q lady passen-
ger who was crossing the ocean on the
same steamer for England. Soft
boiled eggs wrapped in q napkin were
served for breakfast. The young
woman dropped the egg served her,
and. looking at Mr.. Choate, helpless.
ly said: "I've dropped my egg; what
shall I do?"
