of the club the Indian will be ready
to break into fast company before

continues to improve next spring at
the pace he has been maintaining In
the past few months.

An Early Easter

Easter, the time of rabbits and new bonnets, falls this year on March 23, which of course is Sun day. It will not come this early again for ninety-five years, or in 2oo8, a time when most of us will have gone to our reward.
 The last time the great Chris tian festival came so early in the year was 1856, fifty-seven years ago. In 1878 Easter fell on March 22, the earliest possible time it could occur.
 Easter is known as movable feast and the date varies from year to year. This ecclesiastical meth cd of computation is that it is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 2I. This is not the full moon" as it ap- pears in the heavens, nor the mean moon of the astronomers, but an imaginary moon that fol- lows the real moon by two or three days.
 The word Easter signifies a reawakening or quickening to life, hence a celebration of the resur- rection of Christ, and it usually occurs in April. It has fallen in March, however, twenty-five times in the last II2 years, and will occur in that month twenty times again this century. Easter came on March 22, in I76I and 1918. Easter will fall on the latest date, April 25, only once this century in Io43.-Ex.
The Coconino sun., 1913-03-07

Reform Mexico peaceably, says an exchange. Ofcourse. Humane and intelligent methods are far superior to brute force or military tactics, and education, high, lofty ideals, with refinement, will bring about a reformation in Mexico, as it has with every other nation. But like the education of our American Indians, it may require a large standing army to compel and enforce the educational feat ures. Usually the latest faculties are only brought to the highest state of development by arbitrary methods, and yet those who are brought up out of the lower into the higher walks of life are not slow to appreciate the efforts which have been expended in their behalf, showing gratitude in their efforts to aid those who are less fortunate than themselves. This is one of the blessings that comes along with a broader enlightment, a quickened and educated na-  ton. The need of Mexico is ap- parent. Not revolution, but evo- lution, from lower to higher plane of civilization and education.
The Coconino sun., 1913-03-07

The iron hand policy of Diaz is to be restored in Mexico. The people who for thirty or more years labored under that galling yoke will understand now what awaits them in the new adminis- tration of affairs. Brooding under an adverse condition, chahng under an irksome task, with no possibility of improved conditions the increased hardships and peon- age system, smoldering beneath the surface will be found the vol cano that will, when the limit oI endurance has been reached, burst forth in it's fury and engulf the nation even as the Madero revolu' ton and its attendant evils. A nation whose only hope lies in continuous rebellion to free itsel from the land of oppression ane tyranny.
