NOT so BAD.

Closing the city's old hospitals
has caused the Pope's foes to mourn
the days of Papal rule in Rome.
Citizens are realizing that they
were better off when they were
supposed to have been worse Off"
This characteristic Roman express
sion, which of late is frequently
repeated, implies that the past was
better than the present, and that
after all Papal rule was not so bad.
Applied to the question of hospitals
the saying is quite true. In fact
under Papal rule Rome was equally
famous for churches and for hos
pitfalls. Nobody can deny that the
'rOesShad the welfare of the poor
at heart and spent large sums OF
money in charity, endowed many
hospitals and encouraged monastic
institutions and religious orders
founded for the care of the sick. All
these hospitals were admirably
managed, generally by priests or
monks, to whom graft was unknown.

HOT ONE.

In reply to a fanatic of the
Menace type, who wrote to C. A.
Windle, the editor of Brann's
Iconoclast, impugning his motives
for defending the Catholic church,
and that he believed the editor was
a Jesuit in disguise, Editor Windle
answered as follows:
"But somehow / have never been
able to favorably impress men who
carry a vacuum under their hats, or
conceal behind their brisket a small.
dwarfed but hate filled soul. My
open. straightforward methods never
make hit with people built on the
cork-screw plan. II has never been
my misfortune to win the endorse
ment Of liar, the friendship OF
faker, the admiration OF a despot,
the compliments of a pinhead, OF
promote the happiness of hypocrites.
But unlike most people delight to
cast pearls before swine. Now and
then you find human hog that can
be transformed into a man by the
magic pearl of truth. Neither do |
consider II an entire waste OF lather
to shave an ass, for always have
more fun than the ass who gets his
whiskers amputated."

EASTER.

Easter, the queen of Christian
festivals, is the one great day of
unmixed gladness in the year; the
one day on which the frailities and
the fears of our mortality cast no
shadow on our immortal hopes. The
derivation of the word Easter" is
of no consequences to us; nor the
common infidel suggestion that the
rebirth of nature in the spring had
influence upon the keeping of the
feast. AS a matter of fact, as the
gospel advanced westward from the
mystical East, it was the thought of
Christ's triumph over the grave
which gave a new significance to the
new buds and blossoms on the
hitherto stark branches of the trees;
and the reversing of the seasons as
Christianity found itself in the
Kntipodes made no difference in the
spirit of it's celebration.
The resurrection of Christ from
the dead in the strength and SPLEEN
dor of his glorified humanity is the
reason for our joy at Easter, whether
we spend the feast in the neighbor-
hood of the North Pole or the South,
or under the scorching sun of the
tropics. 1t is Christ's resurrection,
at once an historical fact and a
dogma of the Christian faith-''if
Christ be not risen, then is all our
preaching vain"-which gives a
meaning to the great spring festival
and which has preserved the harm
less customs which had otherwise
fallen into disuse.
1t is the day on which we rejoice
because Christ's resurrection in
Inmates to us in what wise our own
will be. He died as man. He rises
still man, but endowed with powers
which He could indeed have exer-
cised and now and then really exer-
cised before, because as God with
Him all things were possible; but
which we in due time in our risen
bodies shall exercise with Him. He
was no pale Syrian ghost" but a
strong, living breathing man, who
challenged the grasp of human
hands, who partook of ordinary food,
albeit He passed with the speed OF
lightning from place to place, and
guarded walls of rock, and locked
doors of wood. were alike futile to
prevent his outgoing or his entrance
as He would.

COLLINS LECTURE.

Peter w. Collins. who is making
a countrywide lecture tour under
the auspices of the Knights of
Columbus and educating the people
on the menace of Socialism, will
speak in Louisville on Sunday
night, April 10. In sending out this
able lecturer the Knights of Column
bus are doing good work in a
good cause. Mr.. Collins declares his
work to be a defense of Christian
faith against the Socialist assault.
He has been on tour of the South
ern cities, doing valiant service with
gratifying results. He will doubtless
be greeted by great audience. For
many years Mr.. Collins was prom
inent in the labor movement. and is
therefore well quanfied to discuss
Socialism from the workingman's
standpoint.

HOW ABOUT 1T, GuYg

They are telling good one on a
popular young couple. who pur-
chased home on West Broadway
two years ago. but who were never
satisfied with what they termed was
a stationary window on the side of
their home, and during the past
week contracted with carpenter TO
build and substitute window that
they could raise and lower at Will,
but when the carpenter arrived with
the new window, found that the sup
posed stationary window was only
stuck and raised with little effort.
Their friends say this is on a par
with that OF Merkle failing TO touch
second base or the famous John
Anderson, who stole second with the
bases full.
