In the year that Columbus discovered

had a lifelong attachment. He
used to call her ''Mignonne'' and

Throughout her girlhood Margaret
was noted for her spirituality. beauty
and many accomplishments. She
spoke many languages and delighted
in writing poetry, which she dictated
to her women as she busted herself
ever her tapestry frames. Margaret
was married first when she was sew

After sixteen years of married life
the duke died and Margaret married
few years later Henry d'Albret,

Navarro that she exerted her great

EASTER.

All the churches now recognize and celebrate
Easter for its religious Significance the Roman Catho-
lie and Episcopal having done so from time imme-
mortal. The mingling of the races and creeds In
this country has broken down the Puritan preiudces
that regarded the Christmas celebration as some
thing ungody and held the Easter festival as an
abomnation Social custom and the poetic sgnif-
canoe of Easter have made 1t carnival of music
and flowers Today In Newark thousands of people
will crowd florists shops and the flower stands in
Centre Market, and be they never poor they will
take home flowers plant to beautify their homes.
Love of flowers is innate in human nature and 1t is
at this season, which witnesses the resurrection of
nature we'll recalls the resurrection of Christ
that the love of flowers has universal expression
Tomorrow the churches will be thronged and the
Easter services and floral displays will be elaborate
The gbes flung at the fair sex for making Easter

suit misdrected. What more appropriate day
than this one of gladness and music and flowers
could be chosen? Spring is about to put new
suit too, and the churches lose attractiyehess
by brand-new clothes that help to make their
happy in the spirit of Easter.

formed for him.
His attention was attracted to the
younger clerks, whom he could see
through the glass partition. They
were frolicking, throwing chair cush-
ions around and were making a great
noise.
They paid no attention to him be-
cause they did not know him. At
last he called through the little win

If the president or the cashier were

his heel and went away. He called
at the office of a wealthy business

both personal and business friend.
He said to this man that he wanted
to sell to him his entire holdings of
the Grocers' Bank in a block and he
wanted to do it Immediately. He ex-
planned that the reason was personal
and that the bank itself was perfectly
sound, as he had every reason to
believe. A price was agreed upon, the
contract made and the understanding
was that on the following day Mr..
Robinson and his friend should go
to the bank to make q transfer of the
stock. They did go to the bank soon
after the opening and went into the
Office of the president.
Mr.. Robinson said: I have sold my
holdings in this banks stock to my
friend. l have done so because there
is an utter lack of discipline in this
bank. / hope you will make a change
of the entire staff from the president
down, for no banking institution can

THAT TREATY WITH COLOMBIA.

Nobody in the United States had suspected, until
the state department announced with great satsfac-
ton that it had just successfully negotiated treaty
of surrender with Colombia, that a second dose was
preparation for the nation and that 1t had close
relationship with the first dose.
When the railroad interests lad failed to stop the
sale of the canal route by the French company to the
United States they sent agents to Colombia and
brbed the yenal officials to refuse concessions to
make the project feasible Panama, then state of
Colombia, ardently desired the canal. Panama set
up an independent government, and as the canal
strip in her territory, she granted the conces-
sions and government Loyalty stood by her.
The bafied railroad interests made cutlery, but
they had q resolute man to deal with The canal was
built. The nfamy of the treaty is that 1t puts
the United States in the position of having done a
dishonorabe act and evident motive to cast
reflection upon President Roosevelt, who built the
canal, But all of this will come out In the wash"
when this precious treaty gets into the Senate.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Why Hetty Green's Father Sold His Bank

'I never read the interesting re-
ports which tell of the decision. the
unbending will and the sense of per-
feet discipline which are characters
tic Of Mrs. Hetty Green without be-
ing reminded of an incident which
came within my personal observation
and which satisfied me that Mrs.
Green inherited from her father this
important qualification which caused
her to succeed in the amassing and
Keeping of her large fortune" This
statement was made to me by Asa
Potter, formerly a banker of Boston,
who now lives in New York city.
Il remember Edward Mott Robin
son. Mrs. Green's father, distinctly"
Mr.. Potter continued. He was a
large man of perfectly proportional
physique. The expression of his face
was suftic ent to reveal to any one his
strength of will. 1t also told a story
of business capacity. Yet it was q
kindly face. 1t had nothing that was
suggestive of avarice or the love OF
money for its own sake. He re-
garded the gaining of money by hon.
orable means as sure test of BUSH
ness success.
Some six or seven years before
the beginning of the Civil War. Mr..
Robinson became the owner of almost
all of the stock of the Grocers' Bank
OF Boston. He lived at New Bedford.
but he came to Boston almost every
day to give attention to his large
business interests. Although he was
the owner of at least three-f ourtns
of the capital stock OF the Grocers'
Bank. his face was not familiar to
the employees OF the institution. He
rarely went to the bank, although

with It's president.
In those days it was the custom
of the banks in Boston to close at 3
o'clock. Some of them, l under
stand. do that to this day. One at
ternoon, Mr.. Robinson called at the
bank at about half past two. He had
some important business which had
suddenly made it necessary for him
to consult with the president of the
bank. He stood for few moments
in the outer office. nobody having
recognized him and no one having

Nations and Heads

The study of heads reveals some
interesting facts. One is that the
left side of the head is almost ALWAYS
larger than the right, due, it is said,
to the universal practise of using the
right hand more than the left. An
other curious point is that nationality
considerably affects the shape of the
head. 1t would surely be an inter-
esting subject for a biologist to ex-
plain why 1t is that the nearer the
equator a race lives the rounder their
heads become. No one needs remind
ing of the round, bullet-shaped skull
of the negro. but the halter will as
sure us that F'renchman's head is
rounder. than an Englishman's, and
similarly an Englishman's rounder
than a Scotchman's. The average
Scots head tapers considerably to-
ward the front, narrows at the tenn
pies and becomes square and prom
inent at the forehead. German heads,
on the average, are rounder than
English, and broader at the back
Irish heads. in general, are long, like
the Scotch, but scarcely as narrow
The Slavonic head is narrow In front
and very broad at the back. When
the recent peace conference took place
in London few months ago, the first
thing that the delegates of the Balkan
States did on arrival was to call on

The great tendency Of modern life,
with its enormous combinations, its
concentration of interests and effort,
Is to annihilate individuality; but the
great duty each one owes to himself
Is to preserve and develop it. He
must not allow his education, his
employment or his environment TO
rob him of his distinctive personality,
or efface the stamp placed upon him
by the divine hand to distinguish
him from all other men. It Is his
duty to preserve his individuality as
no would his character, for IL is
part of himself.
The trouble with most % US is
that we are content to be echoes,
mere miniature copies of other peo-

the thing which the other was made

OUR INERT COMMERCIAL BODIES

Eastern commercial bodies largely influenced
by the railroad and great financial interests. The
active elements in these organizations who always
attend meetings and draw up resolutions are often
less affiliated with these interests. The New
York Chamber of Commerce is by few such
men, three-fourths of the membership never attend
ing a meeting In Philadelphia this class of men
dictate all the opinions of the commercial organiza-
tons
differently. The members are alive to public
questions and usually on the popular and patri-
otto side. They sending delegations to Wash

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL II. 1914

JAMES SMITH. JR.
MARCH /. 1882.

That the record of the Legislature puts the Demo-
cratic party this State its defense Is TACT tnat
cannot be bnked. The Panama canal tolls question,
thrust upon the country by Democratic President,
has done enormous injury to Democratic prospects
this year. A Congress district which In 1912 gave a
Democratic plurality of 1890 went Republican on
last Tuesday by $3.50 plurality and the total Demo-
cratic vote almost equaled by the Socialist vote
Democratic loss of $40 in single county Is
appalling. The Democratic loss in all the twelve
districts of the State the ratio OF the vote IN the
Seventh Congress district, would be approximately
130, 600 votes
An exceptionally good record for the Democratic
Legislature this year would serve as offset to the
disastrous effect of the Presidents tolls surrender
policy and the vote of the Democratic delegation in
the House for free tolls repeal The Congress dis
tricts may be wholly lost Certainly in every dis
trict in which surrender congressman may be re-
nominated he will be slaughtered
But II the Democratic Legislature which adjourned
this week had made record to win the praise OF
the State the utter discredt brought the party
by the administration would not probably affect the
Legislative election enough to make the two houses
of the Legislature next year Republican.
AS matter of fact, the baneful effect OF the tolls
question must also extend to county and municipal
elections Nor will it be forgotten that the Legisa
ture defeated resolution for memorial to Congress
In favor of free tolls thus identifying the Legislative
majority with the unpopular administration poncy.
As q means of freeing the New Jersey Democrats
from the stigma of the tolls surrender policy the
party leadership should call meetings in every county
to pass resolutions strongly opposing the surrender
bill in the Senate, and every county committee should
take the action. The action of the Legislature
must be distinctly and emphatically dsavowed. To-
day the party in New Jersey is pledged by Demo-
cratic Legislature and by its representatives In Con-
gress to a policy hateful to the American people, and
If goes the polls under that staggering burden
In November, with the added burden of legislative
fafl, oiaIt5 t
vote. The Republicans will carry the State by at
least so 600 plurality.

WHY WOMEN PREFER MEN CANDIDATES.

The fact that the women voters in Chicago gener-
ally preferred candidates to women candidates
in local election this week is variousy commented
on by the foreign press But the explanation of the
phenomenon by one English editor really explains
the whole thing. He says:
zone of the sublime truths OF human nature Is
that finer qualities in women than the women
see in each other Women find nobler qualities in
men individually than those mems nearest friends
credit them with And this sublime truth will weigh
in every election where women have free voice"
The subject might be pursued much further, such
as the kind of nober qualities that In men
and to what extent good looks and winning manners
In men contribute to this feminine favor.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

and Orozco had no large following.
General Huerta has never conducted
field operations of the magnitude dis
tinguishing Villas campaigns, even
before the recent attack on Torreon.
The feeling that he was a masterful
soldier. before whom any insurgent
opponent in Mexico must fall, had no
basis whatever in actual achievement.
Instead of taking the field himself
against Villa, General Huerta has re-
manned at the capital. Far from the
firing line, he has kept In close touch
with the capital clty's restaurants and
clubs There could be nothing less
characteristic of a true soldier, upon
whose military prowess rested the
fate of the government, than dele
eating to a subordinate the actual
fighting of a campaign whose out
come might easily end the war. But,
worse still, General Huerta did not
even support effectively his lieutenant
at Torreon. With railroads under his
control, converging upon the besieged
city, he might have sent reinforce
ments sufficient to beat back the as
sailants when the result for days re-
manned in doubt. 1t Is evident that
General Huerta had no conception
of the formidable nature of Villa s
blow that impairs his military pres
tlge as well as shakes his government
to its heels.
The tragi-comic aspect of General
Huerta's stubborn refusal to admit
that Torreon has fallen, many days
after the whole world has known the
truth about the disaster, presents him
in a singular light. His censorship
can be understood as a measure of
self-defense against a possible upris-
ing in Mexico City, but such an atti-
tude of stout denial of the facts also
reveals him as entirely unprepared
for the eventuality of defeat at Tor
reon. Again the world sees him
stripped of any pretense of real mill
tary capacity, for a soldier who fails
to command victory when victory was
by no means beyond his reach, and
then refuses to acknowledge to his
people at home the truth as to his re-
verses for fear OF being overthrow
in his palace-such a soldier car
hardly command confidence, outside
his own country, in his supreme abil.
ity to restore law and order by mil.

What is it that, about this time Of

time when the quickened earth is
