Write Your Congressman.

At 1890 A. NJ. on Wednesday, April
Is. the House committee will give a.
hearing on the question of National
Constitutional Prohibition. The hear
ing before the Senate committee will
be held on the following day. Blank
forms for resolutions and petitions
have been circulated free of charge,
in order that the general public might
have opportunity to express them
selves, through their representatives
and senators in Congress, at these
committee hearings. The liquor inter-
ests will be ably represented They do
not need to send out blank forms for
resolutions or petitions, because the
people are not on their side of the
question, but they will set forth ably
and eloquently their demands for
Justice" 1t is significant that the
entire tenor of the liquor interests
claim upon the public has been chang
ed within comparatively few months,
and the trend of all their literature at
the present time is not defiant atti-
tude heretofore maintained, but it is
an attitude of plaintive appeal to save
their properties" They no longer so
brazenly declare that they are going
to live forever, and boss the world and
its humanity, but their cry today is.
How much are you going to give us
when you take possession of our pro-
perties 90
We hope that every reader of this

"chain Prayer" Letters Again.

One of the most exasperating things
to many Christian families is the
booze advertising that is forced into
their homes with the mail. But
another evil Of an equally exasperating
nature, Is the chain prayer" Just
now Augusta is being flooded with a
nonsensical. deyilish invention, to
carry worry and to work upon the
natural superstitions Of the sick and
weak-the chain prayer. On Thurs
day a copy was brought to the Jour
nal office by a woman who had just
received it at the post office and had
been obliged to pay one cent due to
get the letter. Father Roberts sends
another. 1t is to be hoped that people
receiving these things will promptly
destroy them and forget it. They had
best offer their prayers in their own
simple language rather than in the
language of the probable lunatic who
started the chain. This implied threat
of disaster unless the demands of the
writer are carried out is not Of divine
inspiration. The Lord is quite COM
petent to direct his own affairs, and
things of the sort referred to usually
spring from the other source.

Maybe 1t Wasn't So.

The more or less pitiful endeavors
Of the Democratic press of Maine-the
waterville Sentinel, the Lewiston Jour-
nal, the Portland Argus and the Bid
deford Record--to suck comfort out
of the great Republican convention
in Augusta, is amusing. If their en-
beavers had been consistent or less
conflicting they might have cut more
political CONCEALED watery particles.
Read the following from the Pattan-
galley Davis valet:
Beside the platform there was that re-
volt against Gov. Haines which perhaps
was dreaded most OF all by the INSIDE
leaders. They managed to stamp this
out the day before the convention almost
before it had got a start, but the feeling
day and II was the task of the leaders 10
prevent this GOODNESS from becoming too
apparent to the men in the street. me
Governors first appearance was greeted
with only ordinary applause, Congress-
man Peters and even Congressman kei-
ley getting more hearty welcome. by
careful nursing after the convention had
been running awhile the leaders man
aged to scare up respectable demon
stration in favor of Mr.. Haines.
And then read the following from
the so-called Armageddon Chronicle
published at Lewiston Falls:
Governor Haines was given a tremen-
dous reception, the delegates rising to
their feet and cheering loudly
They had hoped-o, how they hoped!
that Maine Republicans would not
pay their own expenses from Fort
Kent and from Fryeburg to Augusta,
this year for the sake of showing that
they were Republicans. There were
no opposing candidates to bring out
their supporters: the Republican party
had been duly consigned to the cold,
cold sod, and Dingley had dingled,
the Fassett had leaked tears of joy.
and the others had silently express
ed their pleasure that the G. o. P.
must have gone to the good place, in
large black type.
By every process of reasoning from
frequent and numerous Democratic re-
ports of recent months, there was
no Republican convention in Augusta,
Thursday. 1t is true that more than
1900 good sober. honest men of Maine
thought a convention was held, but
they are mistaken-.they are dead. No
convention was held. Nobody here has
seen Kelley. The band didn't play,
and Governor Haines didn't set 'em
off in an uproar of approval. All that
stuff is a dream-just ask the above
quoted sheets about 1t.

Casters Exaltation.

(Charles A. Knickerbocker in Uniyer-
salist Leader.)
The Easter season is the exaltation
of faith ard hope and love. It's appeal
is to the heart rather than to the
mind. It's satisfactions are, primarily,
not intellectual but spiritual and emo
tional.
There are times when the mind
Graves satisfaction--when only clear
reasoning, careful analysis. patient
scholarship, can still its questionings.
But at Easter time the clamors of
the intellectual subside in the great
sweep of the souls desire for express
sion to itself of it's confidence in loves
messages, faiths prophecies, and the
visions of undying hope. 1t is the In
sertion in the calendar of our daily
lives of the thirteenth chapter of First
Corinthians.
When truth eludes me. when my
mind is puzzled, I search in books and
through meditation for light to guide,
for evidence to reveal the solid ground
upon which I may safely stand-but
when my heart grieves for the ones
that are gone, when love reaches out
into the mysterious silences for re-
sponse-then love itself must answer
loves eager quest, faiths groupings
bring the larger courage which re-
joices in the darkness where light
would make the way too plain and
easy, and life's great adventure would
be robbed of its enticements.
I like to think of the manger in
Bethlehem, the home in Nazareth, and
the shop where Jesus worked. ] like
to walk with him by the side of Gen.

city and on the slopes Of Olivet, but
when Easter comes l turn, not to the
past, but to the future; I think, not
of Calvary and the open tomb, but
of the host of the immortals among
whom He is chief, and where those /
loved and love find place. and

Is That Equality?


Wilson claims that we are in honor
obliged to allow England to use the
canal on the same terms as this ma
ton uses it. Very well. When the
other nations put in their proportion
of the money and brains that the Uni
ted States has, let them use 1t toll
free. Under present conditions they
have still lot to do to get on equal
footing with us. Let England come
up with billion dollars or so towards
the costs. Then the equal footing
argument will be in order for dis
cussion. With every man, woman and
child in the land taxed to build it,
Wilson proposes to further tax the
country to give European nations the
same privilege we enjoy, without con-
tributing a dollar. is that equality?
