The Glory
of
Easter Day

In the land of the Crescent and Star,
| AS the Easter day draws nigh,
1 pondered the tale of the Holy Cross,
The tale that redeemeth my soul from
loss;
And from lips of Mary afar
1 hear an echoing sigh:
They have taken away my Lord,
And I know not where he is laidp'
All, Mary, your plant is mine!
Too often we come thru the gloom
In the dawn of the Easter morning,
Its beautiful messages scorning,
, To weep at an empty tomb.
He is risen, he is not here,
Go out on the highways to meet him;
Go bring the disciples to greet him,
Go scatter the glad Easter cheer
Truly are those to be pitied who
fail Of realizing the real message Of
Easter cheer. And there is sad, sig
nificant lesson in the way that Easter
is understood and regarded before sor-
row and bereavement have touched
and shadowed the life, and then the
way it is welcomed and harbored after
affliction has altered ones entire out
look on life.
To the young 1t Is a day of rejoic-
ing. With it's lilies, azaleas and roses,
its carols Of hope and triumph, it's
breath of spring and promise of re-
newal, it seems an echo of their own
youth and joyousness, a glad reminder
that the winter is over and past, and
the voice of turtle-doves is heard in
the land.
This is as it should be. We are not
of those who think that stern and sor-
rowful truth should be impressed up
on the young. Time, the great in
former, will soon enough acquaint
them with life's vicissitudes and
losses, and for those who long escape
the scorching breath of sorrow we are
glad and thankful. They know that
grief exists, that trials are known,
that Affections come, but usually hope
and buoyancy whisper, Not for us;
no, not for u.s." And so the strength
and cheer of youth furnish strength
and endurance for the years to come.
How soon in the wide school of ex-
perience the most of us find life out!

time.
But, after all, that which poor
humanity breads most, shrinks from
with greatest qu&iling at heart, is
tAe separation from those held most
dear, whose lives are our lives, whose
removal is the stroke sounding the
death knell Of joyousness and content.
And it is to those whose whole future
has been darkened by dire affliction
that Easter is most precious, because

And we feel that our weakness is pitiedI
on high.
We toll at our tasks in the burden and
heat
OF lfe's passionate noon; they are
folded in peace,
1t is WE'LL we rejoice that their heaven
is sweet,
And one day for us all the bitter will
cease.
The cemeteries have many visitors
on Easter afternoon. The quiet sleep
ers in Gods Acre are not forgotten;
they have never quite left us. Only
the mortal part lies beneath the turf.
The soul of ethereal essence cannot
perish with the body. 1t comforts
our hearts to carry our gifts of flowers
and leave them on the mounds under
which our dead repose.
A friend tells a touching story of
visit she paid to the grave of a de-
parted friend last Easter Sunday.
She had with her superb bunch of
roses, a tribute to the memory of the
dead. On the car was a plain day la
borer. He also carried flowers. He
had large tin pail overhowing with
beautiful lilies. Touching his hat, he
addressed the lady. 81 think we are
bound for the same place." he said,
"and we have similar errand Rich
people like you may carry such roses
as yours to adorn the graves Of their
dead. A friend in the far south sent
me these lilies, and am taking them
to the grave Of my wife. / am very
lonely without her, but it is a COM
fort to me to give her these lilies.
She loved them so dearly" The two
mourners in their different stations
were drawn together in sympathy by
a common grief and a common rev.
erence as they went on their way,
each bearing a burden of fragrance
and bloom.
While we carry flowers on Easter
to the church and the cemetery, we
should not omit to carry them or send
them to the hospital, the siclkroom,
the chamber of the shut-in sufferer,
the Old Ladies' Home and the homes
Of the very poor. No one can walk
through crowded quarter in the
poorest part Of any town bearing
flowers without being besieged by the
children of the streets. They hunger
and thirst for flowers, as sometimes
they hunger for bread. I knew an in
stance in which for many weeks a
woman who might have been called
the angel Of the tenements tried in
vain to secure an entrance into a
home where poverty and crime had
been linked together. The door was
always shut in her face. The sad
faced mother did not want compassion
and scorned its offer. One day, it
must have been in the spring and
near the blessed Eastertide, the kind
visitor bethought her of method that
might be winning. She went into the
house as usual, and as she tapped at
the door, which was opened as usual
by only the merest crack, she held
in front of her a superb rose, rose

Love and SERVICE

A LII Christendom at this season
"a proclaims the resurrection of
~ Jesus Christ and rejoices in the
promise of immortality.
No other figure of history has left
such an indelible impress upon hearts
and minds of men. His was life of
service, of love, of devotion to man
kind, and even in the hearts of those
to whom the resurrection is not ac-
cepted belief, there is reverence and
admiration for the life and works of
the Great Teacher. The leaven of his
life has spread from the little band of
disciples he gathered about him until
today nearly one-third of the entire
people Of the world are devoted and
acknowledged followers of the Naza-
rene, and to the intelligent followers
OF other creeds he is a teacher and
leader of men, comparable to Brahma,
Buddha, Zoroaster and Confucius.
1t is fitting that the commemoration
of his resurrection should be contem-
poraneous, with US at least, with the
reb1rth Of nature. Even as he rolled
the stone away and put aside the ha-
biliments Of death, so at this season
the timid violet, the jonquil, the cro-
Gus, the spear of grass push aside the
cerements of darkness and death, and
look up with smiling faces to the sun
shine of life. On every hilltop and in
every valley the story of the resurrec-
tion is being re-enacted day by day.
The greatest lesson in the life of
Jesus Christ was that that of service,
and moro year after year is the idea
Of service entering into the hearts and
minds of men. The world is growing
better. Millions of men and women
are striving today, individually or col
lectively, to alleviate suffering, to pro-
mote health and happiness. and in
myriad ways to make better the condi-
tion Of their fellowmen. To him who
brought light from darkness, life from
death. immortality from oblivion, may
be attributed all that is good in our
modern civilization.

sleepest, and arise from the dead, and
Christ shall give thee light" These
words were not spoken to the physi-
cally dead, but to the dead in tres
passes and sins.
A resurrection from ones old self,
and from an existence at variance
with truth and Righteousness, might
well be begun at Eastertide. 1t
would, indeed, be the beginning of
eternal life. The purity of the lilies,
with their waxen petals, symbolic the
white and spotless bloom of the soul
that, freed from all mortal trammels,
has arisen to celectial spheres. In
like manner soiled and broken life
may become cleansed and pure by
the casting away of the garment of
SIN. ana seeking at the hands of God
q garment new, and clean, and white,
the beautiful garment of righteous
ness.
Ever from the land Of the Crescent and
Star
GAS the Easter day draws nigh,
We ponder the tale of the Holy Cross,
The tale that redeems our souls from
loss"
and most thankfully and with sacred
joy do we welcome this most inspiring
and inspiriting day.
What should we do for comfort, If
when we stand by the cypress trees
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-03-21

we could not look beyond the mourn
full shadows and see the glimmer of
a breaking Easter day? What hope
would there be for crushed and poor
earthbound souls if for them there
could be no spiritual resurrection, no
rising into a new life, now and here,
through renewing by Christ?
To every mourner we would say,
"Have faith in a third-day morning."
believe the true lesson Of Easter day,
and you shall be comforted.-The
Christian Work and Evangelist.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-03-21

1t Is full of teaching and hope and
promise not only for the life that now
is, but also to a marked degree for
the one that is to come. Often and
often the only CLEAN of comfort a
stricken heart can feel is the hope of
reunion in brighter world to come.
1t buoys one up when the deep waters
of grief and bereavement threaten to
engulf the soul.
Many mourners find forlorn sat
isfaction in standing by the spot
where their beloved ones have been
laid. If they could only realize that
in reality it is empty! No love, no
remembrance, nothing that constitutes
life is there Life, love, memory and
vitality revel in land
Whose fields are ever vernal,
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade.
But bloom for aye, eternal"
1t would seem that the most signi-
ficant, comforting and inspiriting les
sons Of Easter were for those who
mourn. 1t has to do with the sepulchre
and the sleep of the dead. Yet only
in their past tense. It's true meaning
is resurgam-I shall rise again; It has
to do chiefly with life, renewal, spring
ing from torpor and death into vigor,
activity, endurance, all that goes to
make up the great word. Mfel
That definition is not to be applied
only to those who have passed out
of this present life. Souls there are
which are dead to all their best In
terests; buried, as it were. in iniquity
and sin. Their lives darkened by
separation from all that constitutes a
true and worthy life. To such comes
the clarion cry; Awake thou that
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-03-21

In bloom. The flower did what moth
ing else could have done-it trans
formed an enemy into a friend.
Easter day reminding us of the
resurrection, of the ceaseless friend
ship of heaven for earth, and of the
life everlasting, is the most glorious
day of the whole round year. AS we
sing the songs Of Easter, let us for
get sadness and cowardice and un-
kindness; let us walk onward bravely
and with good cheer on our appointed
ways.

'"The first shock come when Minnie

walls-roses and lilies and such
things. But Minnie had the place
papered in a sort of sickly yellow.

students borrowed our. woodshed,
and the first thing we knew, the fur
niture was up in the garnet, and we
had some new chairs and tables all
rough wood, with brass nails sticking
out. After that Hi moved into the
garnet and spent his evenings there.
81 don't think he'd have stood for
it much longer, only we put up our
price from six dollars to nine, and
we got quite a superior class of sum-

and though she hadn't treated him
well, he still hankered after her, so
he and some other young men come
up to talk it over with Hi, and the
result was a Society for the Promo

game.
"It began when she found the frost

Sam listened respectfully.
"T'm sorry, Mrs. Higginbotham,'

I've joined our new Society for the
Promotion of Being Artistic, and 1

work for simplicity. They feel that
public schools are democratic institu-
tons, and that the clothes for the
final doings should be planned on a
democratic basis.
During recent years in response to
this idea, many comunencements have
been HELD where the girls appeared in
gowns costing $l9o or $278 or other
reasonable figures.
The greatest difficulty in carrying
out this program appears to be from
the families for whose benefit the SIM
pie gown crusade was started. The
wealthy are usually willing to dress
their girls simply They have plenty
of other chances for display. Others
who can less afford splurge are apt
to vote for fuss and feathers

thermometer as by the fashion plate.

few years conditions have changed in
politics as in everything else. What
ever they may have done in the past
politicians today are keeping in close
touch with the people in all sections
of their state. They know that they
will have to answer directly to the
people in all parts. In consequence
they study and learn the needs and
conditions of their entire constituency.
The people, too, are learning more
about conditions other than their
own. They take broader view of
things in general than they did few
years ago. Under such conditions if
both senator's were from north Idaho
the affairs of south Idaho would be
carefully looked after. South Idaho
never had a better friend nor ADLER
representative in Washington than
w B. Hepburn. North Idaho never
had a more sincere friend nor an ADLER
representative than Senator w. E..

ty of the man rather than to resi-

THAT SENATORIAL ELECTION

The election of Hon James H.
Brady to the United States senate
has the distinction of having created
more excitement in political circles
than anything that has taken place
in Idaho in a great many years. 1t
has revived the Mormon question
resurrected the agitation for the Gre
alton of new state; created more dis
sention in north Idaho than that unu-
sually Observation-Disclosures section has
enjoyed in many years; caused men,
bers of the legislature to question
the integrity of their fellow members
and the end is not yet. The general
opinion now seems to be that Repre-
sentative Burton L. French was really
responsible for the defeat of Judge
James F Ailshie The Latah county
delegation refused to support Judge
Ailshie and Congressman French re-
fused to raise finger in support of a
north Idaho man and especially the
leading candidate, Readers of the
Tribune will remember that imme-
diately after the election we pointed
out the position taken by Congress
man French and also his reason for
his actions at that time. 1t was SIM
ply matter of politics with French.
He did not care who represented Ida
no in the senate during the next two
years so long as he was not a north
Idaho man of ability and popularity.
Judge AilsIhie was man to be feared
two years hence as he is just as pop
ular as Mr.. French and great deal
ADLER. At the next primary election
Mr.. French will be candidate for the
senate. He will base his claims on the
fact that he is from the north although
at the last session of the legislature
the claims of north Idaho were of in
difference to him. 1t was shrewd
politics but does not show very high
regard for his section of the state.
The Tribune is glad that north Ida
no has commenced to realize who
was to blame for the defeat of Judge
Ailshie. The Tribune don't give a
moot where our United States senators
come from SO long as they are able
and sincere in their work at Washing
ton. We imagine that the advantages
that accrue to certain section by
having a senator from that section
have been greatly exaggerated in the
minds OF most of u.s. During the past

IDAHO HAS AN IMMIGRATION
BUREAU

In spite of the fact that the house
of representatives during the last ses-
sion attempted to abolish the office
of immigration commissioner by fail
ing to appropriate money for the
maintenance of the office Idaho still
has an immigration commissioner.
The commissioner will draw the sala-
ry but will be unable to do anything
else. The decision OF the supreme
court in the case of Major Fred R.
Reed against Fred l.. Hustled, state
auditor. is clear and conclusive in re-
gard to the salary of Commissioner
Reed The Court says:
Section l, article Is, of the state
constitution provides that, there
shall be established bureau of inn
migration, labor and statistics, which
shall be under the charge of COM
missioner of immigration, labor and
statistics, who shall be appointed by
the governor, by and with the consent
of the senate. The commissioner
shall hold his office for two years,
and until his successor shall have
been appointed and qualified, unless
sooner removed
Sec. l4l8, revised codes, as
amended IN 1911 1oll session laws,
page 564) provides that, 1t shall be
the duty of the governor, by and
with the consent of the senate, to
appoint a competent person as COM
missioner of immigration, labor and
statistics who shall have charge Of
said bureau. and who shall hold his
office for the term provided in said
article Is of the constitution. He
shall receive salary of $2,4OO a
year, ETC., and section 276 of the re-
vised codes, provides that, The sal
airy of all state and district officers,
whose salaries are paid from the state
treasury, shall be paid quarterly on
the second Monday of January, April,
July and October of each year out of
any money in the treasury not other
wise appropriated
During the next two years Major
Reed will draw salary of $4,000
for merely acting as an ornament. He
can do absolutely nothing to advance
the interests of the state because he
has no money to work with. The fail
ure of the legislature to either repeal
the former Law or make an adequate
for the office shows its
brilliancy completely. Major Reed
is big, brainy man and an ornament
to any state. We believe however
that the tax payers of Idaho will not
relish ornaments that cost $4,000
per year. 1t is high time that some
change were made in our methods of
enacting laws. Hardly session of
the legislature is held without it max
ing some costly, miserable mistake.
