EASTER FEELING.
Il Bssins With Simple Faith In the
Beautiful Story OF the Day.

6eautifui story of the Day.
Easter feeling begins with some faith
in the great story Of the resurrection
or else In beautiful. even reverential
respect for all those who have It II
continues with gratitude for the new
life that is shown In field and tree, In
freshened heart for ali earth. In q
love that strives TO forget self In all
the little dealings at home and abroad.
The disgruntled heart and sour coun.
tenance have no place with Easter Joy
any more than has a willful conduct
that mocks scornfully at a neighbor's
piety.
Granted we are sometimes denied
faith, common sense, the mere Ore Of
spring viii tell US that we have much
to rejoice for. The garment Of the
winter locked earth has been made
over. Bud and leaf are near TO tell
N, too. that old fears may pass.
And lovely music and resplendent
flowers Of the churches are telling M
more--that there must be something In
a story that loses no whit Of Its sub
lime beauty after 1000 years.

THE PARDON OF coN1LpGE.

It is evident that the board of par
dons was not fully informed upon the
case Of the Italian, convicted in this
county under the name of Conildge,
on the charge of assaulting an officer
and assisting prisoner to escape.
No doubt the seven months which the
man had already spent in the state
prison, added to the time he was held
in the county Jail awaiting trial,
might have been ample punishment,
In view OF the Italians possible de-
portation, for the crime for which he
was convicted. But the man was be-
ing held in jail upon a more serious
charge. An indictment is now over
him charging a most heinous crime,
and one which, proven, would war;
rant more than seven months in pri-
son and a trip back to ones native
land. vindictive punishment prob
ably is not always the proper kind Of
punishment. Men who have strayed
from the path Of rectitude are SEN
fenced to prison for the dual purpose
Of protecting society and OF correct
ing the wrong-doer. The releasing
of Conildge at this time will not have
a very great corrective influence for

THE BENTON COUNTY PLAN.

The taxpayers Of Benton county
have resolved in favor of the initia-
tion of measure for the summary
decapitation of about all the boards
and commissions in the state; also
in favor of giving the board of county
commissioners, the county court as
at present constituted, greater au-
thority in the control of the county
affairs-the fixing of salaries, con-
duct of county Offices, etc. The Jose
phine county tax league has endorsed
the resolution and has offered to back
up the people of Benton county in
its effort toward initiating the pro-
posed measure.
Through this action the promoters
of the plan expect that the voters Of
the state can wipe the slate clean OF
boards and commissions with which
the state of Oregon is overburdened.
and then put 1t up to the legislature
to readjust matters upon more rea-
sonable and rational basis. 1t is
pretty well agreed that there are too
many boards and commissions. Ore
gon is over-regulated-industry is
strangled and taxes are boosted. II
seems impossible to single out in
dividual commissions and commence
the pruning there, and there is merit
in the plan proposed Of cutting all of
at one fell swoop and then commenc-
ing all over again. II there was a
vacation of a few days between the
time the act of the people became
effective and when the legislature
could get busy and arrange for the
proper machinery Of state. little dam
age could result. 1t would be a
blessed relief to be freed from this
surfeit of regulation" for few
days, and with the experience Of the
past, the legislature could find where
many of these boards were superfu
ous--tumors upon the body polite
eating at the life Of the people. Ore
gon has too many laws, too man!
high salaried officials, too much red
tape. It is fine thing for the pap
sucker, but poor thing for the fel
lows who have to keep substanc,
within the pap.

Pruning neeIduous Trees.

Do not be afraid to prune deciduous
trees and shrubs nov, simply for the
reason that they are carrying green
caves. 1t is a good rule to Prune the
shrubs Just as soon as they are past
blooming. Trees, however large, may
be profitably pruned now, unless the
entire top is to be removed. Small
branches need no treatment subse-
1uent to pruning, but large cuts should
be treated with linseed oil, paint, as
ohalt. tar or any protective substance
that will exclude air and form and
maintain film over the wound The
after will then start to heal over this
season and the work be vigorously re-
newed il carly spring.
