Day Of the Goddess Of Dawn.

Easter, or, as it is called in Ger
many, Ostern, was the day of the
Goddess Ostra cher Anglo-Saxon name
was Eastre), the goddess of dawn, of
the coming morning light In her
honor the bonfires were lighted, and
deep-rooted indeed must the worship
of her have been, for the name was
kept and applied to one of the highest
Christian feasts.

will see her again. She is watching
you this minute. She loves you just
the same as ever"
mo, no." wept the child; "she is
dead. The doctor said so; and l know
1t is true, because I kissed her, and
she did not kiss me back again. If
she had known, she would have kissed
me back again-for she always did.
And. oh, oh-my mother is dead!"
II know it seems so, darling"
sighed the aunt, whose own heart was
sore and heavy, "but under that still
face there was yet life. Christ showed
us that when he rose from the dead.
He did not answer when his mother
and his disciples called him; but one
day he rose from this seeming death,
to show us that no one really dies.
That was the first Easter day. Men
had always hoped-but they had never
surely known before then-that the
dead could rise again. Is it not beau
.tiful, dear?"
The child for a little seemed com
iforted. Then he looked over to the

him, and again he broke into sobs. He
was only five-and his little mind
could not grasp the great, sweet truth
(which his aunt had been telling him.
AT last she said: Il will show it to
you some time so that you will under
stand"
1t was in the early springtime that
the young mother had been laid away
from his sight. The cold winds were
blowing. the trees looked bare and
Igaunt and dead.
Out among the l~eafiess woods the
aunt led the ~grieving child.
See these poor trees" she said to
him. Does 1t not look to 0 a

He felt carefully of the branch
which she held out to him.

lold dead stick-just good to burn in
the fire."
st seems so," she admitted, but
wait a while, and we will come back
here again."
One warm, sunny day, a few weeks
later, she took him to the same spot
and showed him the same bough
again. 1t was covered with soft,
fuzzy ~leaf-buds, and little clusters of
tender green leaves were bursting
from them.
"This is the same bough that you
thought was dead" she said. What
do you think now?"
1T wasn't dead, was it?" murmured
the child slowly. What pretty leaves!
j am glad it wasn't dead"
"And it is so with our dear ones
who die" she reminded him gently.
They seem dead, but they really
live; and somewhere they are happy
and beautiful-more beautiful than
they were here-just as the leaves are
more beautiful than the bare tree"
The child gazed after them. Then
he looked back at the G deadlock

the queer, brown sticks. How wonder

To the Unbeliever

Is It too much to lay
Your unbelief aside
Just for this one brief day,
Just for His sake who died
Nailed to the cruel tree,
There where the darkness fellf
Is It too much. since He
Gave SO freely and welll
Is It too much to give
Him they could cruelty
For teaching men how to live,
For showing them how to die1
Humbly He came. and SO
He went on His righteous way.
Is It too much to throw
Doubt aside for today
Is It too much to bow
Humbly a little whilef
Think of His bleeding brow.
See His plying smilel
He gave us His all and took
Nothing but sin away;
Is 1t too much to look
Upward with love today1

The hope expressed by The Gale
DOMAIN that some sane council would
be found to prevent an European
war has proven in vain and all the
great powers of Europe are now at
each others threats engaged in what
may easily be the most terrible and
most important war of history. The
aggressive acts so far have been
taken by Austria on Servia and Ger
many on France and Russia. The
aggressors have made but little head
way as yet, the Servians fighting
with the ferocity of Gagged beasts and
holding the Austrians in check and
the little Belgian army, whose terri
tory was ruthlessly invaded by Ger
many in defiance of all treaties. put
ting up a defence in the forts at
Liege that has surprised the world.
OF course these are only temporary
results. Unless the allied armies in
opposition to Germany and Austria
are soon placed to help these cour-
ageous defenders of their territory
and honor the Austrian and German
forces will be concentrated on them
with disastrous result.
Probably the reason no sane coun-
ell prevented the war was there was
none who really wished to do so.
The war is the result OF most ambi-
tious designs on the part of Ger
many and the fixed determination of
the rival powers that she should not
further encroach on their interests
in southeastern Europe. Evidently
the purpose OF Germany is to extend
her territory to the sea where she

The Governorship.

The announcement of F. E. Howe
that he would like to be governor
of Vermont has added a new feature
to the contest. Mr.. Howe, like Mr..
Fleetwood, is not possessed of a
large fortune and says he shall make
no pre-convention canvass. Whatever
ones estimate of Mr.. Howe, as an in
dividual, it must be admitted that his
platform announced is the clearest,
most advanced and most courageous
of any yet published. His declaration
that the power of towns to incur in
debtedness should be limited, that
appropriations by the Legislature
should not exceed the revenue then
in sight and definite plan for reduc-
ing court expenses show that Mr..
Howe has given state matters care
full study. Equally definite is his adj
vocacy of a workman's compensation
law. His standing on this gives him
a clear advantage over Mr.. Clement
and his flat declaration that he
wishes to serve as a republican will
be more favorably received than Mr..
Fleetwood's cautious appeal to the
people of Vermont"
But Mr.. Howe will have trouble in
his own county, probably consider
able portion of it going for Mr.. Glenn
ent. AS stated last week it is evil
dent Mr.. Clement cannot carry his
own county while Mr.. Fleetwood can
come into the convention with his
county solidly behind him. Friends
Of Mr.. Fleetwood are found in near
ly every section of the state. The
only trouble is they seem contented
to say they would like to see Fleet
wood get it," but they are leaving it
entirely on Fleetwood's hands to get
it,
This is the situation with the eau
cuses of the republican party only
eight days away and the state con-
vention only about three weeks dis
tant. To an extent never before seen
in Vermont the people have the OPP
portunity to select their candidate
for governor. No organization has a
man it is trying to force on the pub
lie. If the people are enough inter
ested to select and elect candidates
favorable to the man they wish for
governor, regardless of whether he |
has announced his candidacy or not,
they can absolutely decide who shall |
be the candidate for governor. They |
can determine whether the next gov
ernor shall be a millionaire who has
been fortunate in finding customers
for his railroad property or a sue
cessful man who is acquainted with
the demands of the state and is ready
to give his independent service for
the principles he advocates. The
people can, will they?

Japan Is in the War.

The announcement on Monday
that Japan would enter the Euro
pean war as the ally of England
seems to lessen the chances of Ger
many's victory. The cause of Jap
ans entry into the fighting forces is
fully explained by article two of the
articles of alliance between Great
Britain and Japan. 1t reads:
If by reason of unprovoked attack
or aggressive action whenever aris-
ing on the part of any power or
powers either high contracting party
should be involved in war in defense
of its territorial rights or special in
terests mentioned in the preamble
of this agreement the other high
contracting party will at once come
to the assistance of its ally and will
conduct the war in common and
it.
The news that the German and
French armies are in contact along
the German border indicates that be-
fore another issue of this paper APP
pears a decisive conflict will be under
way or finished. 1t is not reasonable
to expect the German forces will al
ways be driven back. They must pos
sess more fighting ability than has
yet been shown. If they do not
the war will be a short one.

Those at all familiar with the great
bulk of the Congressional Record
will endorse the effort of Senator
Smoot of Utah to limit the amount
of outside matter tc be inserted in
that publication. He says that or
dinarily the Record for a session of
Congress contains around 5000
pages, and there have already been
1873 pages printed for the pres
ent session. This represents consid-
cradle cost and is not worth the
money.

Why wouldn't it be wise at the

way could go outside the announced
