Easter

Shapespeare in Othello's apology
tells us when Othello gives the
council of State the reasons for his
love for Desdemona,
.she loved me for the dangers had passed
loved her that she did pity them"
and il seems that there is nothing
more apt than this expression at this
Jovous Easter time. Families are
gathered around their hearth with
their little families, the parents
shouldering manfully and brayely
the burdens, with the loved one
Spreading comfort and peace with
their joyous cries, and laughter
nesting under their protecting wings
loving them for the affection they
have spread, in turn loved for the
sympathy extended, and there is a
peace that passeth understanding.
Typical too of the regeneration OF
this world by the Blessed Savior,
the buds begin topeep out, the SILVER
throated animal kingdom to pro
claim once more the glory OF God,
the ever blessed mystery OF the re-
currence of the productivenss OF the
universe. Beginning anew is all ma
ture and it is clearly the duty OF us
all as intelligent beings to begin
again on new slate. Wipe out the
old scores, forget the dark hours OF
the past, let bygones be bygones
and start with nature TO raise ne"
crop of sterling plants, weed Out
the thistles of the past, and look OF
life as God intended joyous, happy
ever progressing toward His greater
glory.-W.

Who Is To Hlsme7
Dear Editor,


st. Mary's BEACON:
There is food for thought in some
of the happenings of the past week
or two;I shall give you an instance.
Acting on information spontaneous
ly furnished, two constables raided
a gambling house a mile or two from
Leonardtown about a. NJ, Sunday
March 8, and caught the proprietor
and number of boys and young
men red-handed, with cards and
stakes lat least $3.50 in full view.
A magistrate who accompanied the
constables tried the proprietor and
acquitted him and the whole bunch.
The two constables testified for the
State at this trial One of them
was urged to report this fine piece
of work to the Grand Jury and did
so. The Grand Jury did nothing
because it had been charged not to
touch cases that had already been
tried by a magistrate. Now all this
is the more to be wondered at when
it is known that a number OF these
youths, the flower of some focks,
had already been apprehended in a
town raid several months before,
and that il had been their custom in
this new haunt to gamble all through
the night and until Sunday morning
Another matter of surprise was the
apparent inability Of the State to
carry lost case from a Magistrate
to the Grand Jury or higher tribu-
nal. viii somebody more learned
in the law please explain this ap-
parent Illustration of Justice and
disregard of public morals
On the same Sunday morning the
same constables went TO 4 saloon
crowded with noisy jewellers, and
purchased intoxicating liquors once
or twice. A Jury trial was held
and the Jury was hung by a man or
men who would not convict this sa-
loon keeper because forsooth, every
other saloon keeper was dotng the
same thing. " These are only SANE
pies, to select eases, and there are
others. Shades Of our forefathcrs,
Is this St. Mays County Justice:
Who is to blame? Others beside.
myself would like to know
Yours truly,

Woodrow Wilson, Man Of the
Hour, has an opportunity to make
himself the greatest president since
Abraham Lincoln, and to keep the
Democratic party in power for years
to come.
This is true, not merely bacause
he is today President of the United
States. There have been other bic
men President since Lincoln. IL b.
because Woodrow Wilson realize
that the one great principal issue
that confronts the Republic H. moi
the tariff issue, the currency issue,
or the trust issue, ba! lhe ifsqc qf
hence his failure. The tariff issue.
the currency issue, and the trust is

lens that may be worked out, hu,
the issue Of humanity is one Of cone
science and soul. The first named
issues are business propositions, and
concern dividends and dollars chiefly
while the issue Of humanity refers
TO human rights, the protection Of
women and children aud All those
who are being oppressed by orgaui-
lied greed.

1t is an old tradition in Congress

he must sit with hands
folded and watch Legislation which
may be highly desirable TO the peo-
pie, be peacefully chloroformed Ia

1t is said that Woodrow Wilson
IS going to disregard this tradition.

Mr.. MARHuRv's CANDIDACY

Despite the report that his can
didacy has the support of President
Woodrow Wilson; the fight of VIM.
L. Marbury for the long term Unit
ed States Senatorship has so far fall
len fiat. When Mr.. Marbury re-
turned from Trenton, n. j., nearly
a month ago and announced his can
didacy for the Senate and declared
that he entered the race at the soil
citation of the President, IT was be-
lieved by his friend that Democrats
would flock TO his standard. Deye-
lopments, however, show that Mr..
Marbury's candidacy did not strike
State there has developed and grown
into large proportions a decided OPP
position to him and much resent
ment against the alleged interference
of the President of the United
States in a purely state campaign.
Ia putting Mr.. Marbury in the race
it was asserted that President Will
son is vigorously opposed to United
States Senator John Walter Smith
and is determined that Senator Smith
shall have strong opposition. Presi-
dent Wilson may or may not be OPP
posed TO Senator Smith, but if he
is and proposes to make an effective
fight against him or any other reg
ular Maryland Democrat, it appears
as though he must select Democrat
OF 4 different type and standing
with the rank and lile of the party
than Mr.. Marbury 1t is a surpris-
ing fact that not even the SO called
independent Democrats, men who
pose as Democrats, but support the
Republican party more often than
they do the Democratic party are
openly advocating Mr.. Marbury's
election.
The chief weakness of Mr.. Mar
bury's candidacy is his record for
party irregularity. When the Presi-
dent advised Mr.. Marbury to be a
candidate, he doubtless did not
know that Mr.. Marbury has frequent
ly fought the Democratic party and |
its nominees. Had he known that |
Mr.. Marbury, on number of |
occasions, had taken the stump
against the party he would probably |
have strongly advised Mr.. Marbury |
not to be candidate. Just as soon
as Mr.. Marbury's announcement
went forth, the Democrats of this
state recalled his political record
and revolted against him. The
feeling today is more bitter and
stronger than it has ever been and
it is growing everyday. As yet,
the President has not publicly init
mated that he will support Mr.. Mar
bury and, if his true friends in this
state will take the trouble to inform
him of real conditions, the probil-
tiles are that the President would
see the error that he has made and
urge Mr.. Marbury to withdraw from
the race. On Tuesday Mr.. Mar
bury formally opened the speech
making part of his campaign at
Centreville and it was one of the
poorest attended meetings held in
that town for number of years.
1t was devoid of the usual enthusi-
assn which is typical of Eastern
Shore Democratic mass meetings.
The smallest of the crowd and the
lack Of enthusiasm were due to the
opposition against Mr..
Marbury among Eastern Shore Dem
ocrats. They will not support a
man who has knitted the Democratic
ticket whenever he saw ft.-Dem-

Few of the members of the Della
ware Legislature were in the party
that was presented to President Will
son. at the White House, Wednesday
afternoon by Senator Willard Sauls-
bury. The party consisted Of Cover
nor Miller and several members of
staff, regimental officers of the First
Delaware Infantry and a few other
Delawareans. President Wilson reciv-
ed the party in the last Room. There
was no speech making. the President
simply shaking hands with each mem
Der of the party as they passed. Mrs.
Miller, the governors wife and his
daughter were members of the party.
Among the members of the party gov
ernor's staff who were in the party
were Colonels Satterwaite and COrbit,
in addition to Adjutant- General Wick
ersham Speaker Holcomb was also a
member of the party. Several who
had been invited to meet the Presi-
were not in the party for the reason
that there was a misunderstanding
due 10 the fact that il was understood
the affair had been postponed Senator
Salisbury being detained by an execu-
tive session of the Senate. When the
word came several members of the
governors staff and others went to
dinner and were dining when the
word came to go to the White House.
Some members of the Legislature
who were expected to join the party
had left Washington. The party went
to the White House at 2. 30 O'Clock

days at Washington where they par
ticipated in the inaugural parade.
The local companies headed the long
line of militia, this honor being accor-
ded Delaware as it was the first State
to ratify the Constitution. Those
who witnessed the parade declared
that the local soldiers and those from
Massachusetts were declared to have
the finest turnout. 1t was stated that
the people in Washington thought the
Delaware militiamen were regular
army soldiers so well did they march
in the big parade.

EASTER COMES EARLYTHIs YEAR
Falls en- March 23rd the Earliest
Date for Years.


Date for Years.
Easter will come unusually early
this year. II falls on March 23rd.
Hardly any one living. even babes
in arms, will see it come so early
again. Easter Sunday is regulated
by the time the moon is full after the
days and nights are eqlal. The sun
crosses the line on March 21st, and
Easter comes on the first Sunday after
the first days and nights are equal and
the next day is Sunday, which brings
Easter on the 23rd Of the month. II
the moon should happen to be full on
the day previous to that on which the
days and nights are equal, il will not
be full again for twenty-eight days,
and that would make Easter Sunday
come quite late in April, especially
should the moon in such case be full
on Monday. Easter could not be until
the following Sunday. and in such
a case il could come as late as April
26th. X came in this very late date
something like thirty years ago, anC
may not do so again fOr number Of
years. 1t has been a saying among
men who were close observers that w
need not expect much spring weather
until after Easter Sunday. If th,
old saying is true, in 1913 we shall
have a very early spring. Old resi-
dents who have watched such matter
closely tell US that when Easter
very early the season is not a yer
productive one. They ssy frOsts an
heavy rains, as we'll as extreme dr.
weather, often prevent the CROWN
Of large crops. Many observing farm
ers say they would rather see a
Easter about the middle Of April.

His Parish Do Much For Him To Keep
Him From Going To Georgia.
Archdeacon C. H. B. Turner. rector
of st. Paul's Episcopal Church at
Lewes. is just discovering the high
regard which he is held by his parish.
Recently he was called to a large
charge in Georgia, and since then his
parish has been unable to do enough
for him. His salary has been raised,
new additions will be made to the
church and everye effort put forth to
keep him in Delaware. Archdeacon
Turner is prominent all overthe east,
and is the author of several histories
Of lower Delaware. In pursuit Of
facts he has made a trip to Holland,
where he was presented to the queen,
and he is regarded as an authority on
Dutch settlements in America. IL
was Archdeacon Turner who supervis-
ed the Devries celebrated in Lewes a
few years ago a celebration that was
the finest everheld in Delaware, and
at which the ambassador from Holland
was present. Not only will his leav-
ing Lewss be a loss to that town, but
20 the whole state, which in a great
part is indebted to DR.. Turner for the
recovery and safe keeping of many
historical papers and books concerning
the state.
