The Easter Season.

The Joyous season of Easter is
here again. Sunday was Easter Sun
day in all christian lands save those
where the Greek church dominates"
where it comes two weeks later in
the calendar of The Greek church
and was reverentIy and appropriately
celebrated throughout this land. For
those who accept the verify of the
christian faith Easter should have
significance not approached by any
other of the christian festivities.
Christmas derived its Importance as
the anniversary of the birth of Jesus
of Nazareth-an event OF great i'm
port, truly. But Easter commemor-
ates the resurrection from the dead
of the crucffied Christ. Resurrection
was of greater moment than the
birth, for the Christian fabric stands
or falls on the resurrection. eff Christ
be not risen from the dead declared
the apostle, then are we of all men
most miserable" Christmas, how
ever, is rapidly losing its religion:
character and influence. Virtually, it
is a season of geniality, bestowal o.
gifts and charity. 1t may be hoped
that Easter will hold its significance,
and not become, as has Christmas, a
purely social event.

From the Savannah News.
Like the green bay tree fourishes
the Congressional Record. And like
the green bay tree it is full of 1um-
Der, and the wind blows through it's
leaves. The issue of April 18th con-
tains 1856 pages, and is the bulkiest
on record. Under the euphemistic
title, Extension Remarks" are many
pages of unspoken oratory, some po-
etry and even some bracketed zap
plause," though how the applause
got there when the speech wasn't de-
livered is mystery. Ardent readers
of the Record-if there are any
would no doubt like to know who it
was that applauded. Was it the au-
thor of the speech?

NOTHING "ROCKY" DOWN HERE.

From the Triton Gazette.
A North Georgia man has invented
rock-piIfng machine. 1t picks up
the rocks and piles them up nicely
where they will be handy to move
when the farmer gets ready to plant
next year. Doubtless his machine
will fill long-felt want in that cOun-
try, but what that man should do is
to move to South Georgia. Down
here he could save the wear and tear
of his mind from inventing such ma
chimes and the wear and tear of his
body from pi1ing rocks. 1t is all
smooth blowing down here in Gods
country, and here is where the farm
ing of the state ought to be done,
anyway.

LIGHTNING ROD AGENT IS HIT.

From the Calhoun County Courier.
The United States supreme court
has upheld decision rendered by the
mayor of Waycross in police court
imposing a 500 fine on a travelling
representative of a st. Louis light
ming rod concern. The higher courts
decision puts an end to the conten-
ton of lightning rod companies out
side of the state that Georgia munic-
qualities cannot pass valid ordinances
taxing their agents for putting up
rods within their limits. Waycross,
it is said, is the first city to tackle the
lightning rod companies in a license
fight. The same decision should also
apply to picture and book agents.

Compulsory Education.

1t is reported that another effort
will be made at the coming session
,of the Georgia legislature to enact a
law requiring every child between
certain ages to be sent to school.
Discussing the subject of compulsory
education the Macon Telegraph says:
different states have different
laws. In some states the age limit
runs from to Is years. In Others
from to is years.
"As a general principle, COM
pulsory education would not be
popular. but with the amount of
illiteracy in Georgia and with the
vast amount of work which out
siders are doing to educate the ne
gro law of that kind is almost a
necessity. A state, like an indi-
yidual, has to have a certain
amount of education to properly
appreciate it,
"A law making education on
certain practical lines compulsory
would not be a bad law for GeOr
gia. In the present age learning
is supreme"
Although compulsory education
laws are of comparatively recent en-
actment in the majority of states
they have become so much an ac-
cepted part Of legislation that it is
surprising to find that there are
only six states without laws compell-
ing children to attend school. Prior
to 1890 there were few states where
such laws were enforced, and as re-
Gently as 1898 the governor of Penn
syIyania vetoed a compulsory educa-
ton law on the ground that it inter-
fered with the personal liberty of the
parent and was therefore un-Ameri-
can. Their success abroad and
gradual change of public opinion led
to their general adoption in this
country. The states which have not
yet fallen in line are Alabama, Flor
ida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Car
DINA and Texas.

'UnspIiCing the Mainbrace.

According to the dispatches abso-

By this order the Secretary has
certainly caused ffutter in naval

nounced public sentiment in the di-

The Triton Gazette observes that
the controversy as to who killed Cock
Robin is constantly bObbing up in
new places, and says: atlanta had
not quite recovered from her jOllifi-
cation over securing the location of
one uf the regional reserve banks
under the new currency law before
it was in the midst of a quarrel over
who was entitled to the glory there
for. The Journal proved by half
page picture that Hoke Smith did it;
the Georgian swore in six-inch letters
that Willie Hearst did it, while the
Constitution stoutly maintained that
the Atlanta spirit did it ALL" 1t is
