GETHSEMANE.

70 my Father, if this cup may not pass from me, except l drink it, Thy will be done" Matt. 26:42. The pas sion of the garden is the deepest mys- tery of the Redeemer's incarnaton- fiercer conflict than His temptation in the wilderness-a greater angulsn lS4t than His endurance of the cross. It is part of His work of redemption. A transaction between His atoning soul and God, over which veil is drawn, He threads the wine. press alone But let us look at the human aspect of the Redeemer's sorrow and see how a redeemed human heart could pray un- der it, and accept il when it is clear ly Gods will that it should be borne.
 The cup. Some Of it's ingredients were peculiar to Him as the Medl- ator for human sin; expressed in such passages as Tt pleased the Lord to br,Iise Him" /" the Lord hath laid on Him the inequity of us all,' the hour and power of darkness" fthe prince of this world cometh; but there were in it ingredients of sorrow common to human life, The feeble ness of friends, the forsaking of His disciples. the denial of Peter, the treason of Judas, the human sorrow of parting with His earthly friends all these, mingled with human shrinking from death and the shame of the cross, were in the cup.
 The conflict. He did not drink the cup without desires and prayers that if possible it might pass from Him and in such inward conflict there was no sin. He made His prayer con ditional upon it's being Gods will. He keeps hold firmly of Gods fatherhood % My Father" There is no shadow of distrust upon His filial soul, nol suspicion of His Fathers love.
 The victory. He did drink the cur which it was not possible should pass 1 He came to do Gods will and though I of failing to do that will It was tn l victory of perfect self sacrifice. ss'No
 my will but Thine be done" Thi victory was won by prayer. He wa | "heard in that He feared He wa l strengthened to drink the cup. Hi l strength was in His weakness, in tn l entireness with which He cast Him
 self upon His Father.

UNIFORMITY IS NEEDED.

There can fbe little or no surprise at the statement made to the business men and city officials of Hartford by the general manager of the New Ha- ven road on the matter of changing. the railroad schedule to correspond with the daylight saving efforts.
 This railroad serves southern New England and it is perfectly apparent that it cannot arrange schedule to serve all the cities between New York and Boston unless there is by far the larger number operating un- der advanced time. And there is no denying the fact that it makes much difference whether the railroads are operating at the same time that the cities pro the same as it would make much difference if certain factories in a city were to observe a daylight sav- ing schedule and others were not.z
 Connecticut for the most part, or at least as far as the cities are concern ed favor the advanced time. In Mass achusetts the entire state will proba- bly observe it by legislative action What Rhode Island will do is a prob- lem but it's largest center desires day light saving and such center is bound to have wide influence in thai state.
 The trouble in Hartford is that il has put it's ordinance into operation in advance of any state action excepi New York, but with Massachusett: under such law and with the citie! of this state and Rhode Island sini larly committed there would be suffi. cient ground for making the railroad timetable conform just as soon as tn, time arrived when all put it into eff i feet.
 It was for this reason that so mucl emphasis was placed upon uniformit. of action throughout a particula section of the country if daylight say ing was to be obtained with the leas confusion following the repeal of tn | federal law.
 Hartford will do well, if it zoe
 back to standard gtime, to do so onl
 until the last of this month when tn I prospects are that a sufficient part c
 southern New England will be oper
 ating under new time to warrant tn
 change by the railroad.

When the world war suddenly broke out on August 3, 1914, the status of the United States among the foreign com merce carrying nations of the world was deplorably backward.
 The entire world tonnage was then 49,089, ,552 of vessels 100 tons more. Of this, 45, ,403,877 gross tons were steam Trust Company of New York. The United States in 1914 had more than S8,0o0,000 population.
 The total national wealth in 1912 (the latest official figures available) was $1S7, ,000,000, according to a government estimate published in the statistical abstract of the United
 States, based upon a valuation of var ious kinds and groups of properties Of the national income as distin- guished from national wealth no of ficial estimate is given.
 Many Fine Harbors-The extent and capacity of the harbors of the United States were unequalled. On the At lantic coast were 23 main ports, 8 on the Gulf of Mexico, 10 on the Pacific coast, 25 on the Great Lakes, and oth- l CTS available for routing ocean traffic. For the dredging, building of piers, and other Improvements of these ports
 immense aggregate sums had been
 spent.
 The total United States imports and exports carried by sea in the fiscal year 1914 were $3,7S5, ,46S,512. Yet of 1 this amount only 9.7 per cent was car l ried by distinctively American vessels Capital nvestiment-There were al his time, however, it should be explain ed, between 1,500, ,000 and 100000 tons of foreign shipping owned by Ameri- can capital which made this invest ment because of the cheaper building and operating costs under foreign flags
 In appearance, as far as figures went the American merchant marine seemed to be larger han it had eyer been. II 1914 it totalled 26.943 vessels of 7,92S,- 6SS tons. But in point of fact, 6,81S,36; tons were in the coasting trade
 l Other tonnage was in the whale anC
 cod and mackerel fisheries. Only 2,S6l
 vessels of 1,066.28S tons were in tn
 forengn trade.
 T Foreign Progress-Other countries
 had made striking advances in ship ping progress. Germany with it's fev ports and having less than half tn
 national wealth of the Unied States , had almost doubled it's tonnage iron 1900 to 1914. Its merchant marine o 5,764,452 gross tons in 1914 was com , large tonnage was ocean, going. II Japan's merchant fleet in 1914 wa more than three times larger than l ' 1900, rising from 594,675 tons | l,S66,S19 tons, of which 1,6S0,561 gros tons were steam vessels. Yet Japan

ROADS SHOULD BE PROTECTED

According to another comlnunica- tion from iTnterested" today we find that the apparent cause for his griev- ance. his opposition to restricting the loads of trucks on improved high ways, pertains about certain mud hole on the Norwich -Jewett City road. There is no doubt about the inconvenience that particular spot caused and there is no question but what such poor places should get due attention. wherever they are located whether it is on the Jewett City road, the Willimantic road or the Hartford road. We have no definite. knowledge as to the highway commissioner pol icy regarding this particular mudhole and there has been no attempt to de- fend it, and neither is there any dis position to let our opinion, about the advisability of the order for the pro- lection of the highways of the state by limiting the loads, be warped be- cause one-half of one per cent. of a road has failed for week.
 Few are the roads but what have their weak spots and this is the time of year when it can be expected they will be disclosed. Wherever these weak spots are they are bound to be aggravated by the heavy trucks. We have tried mighty hard but we haven't got to the point yet where nature will do just as we want it to, Till we are ready to pay for putting down permanent roads we mustn't be | too thin skinned about turning out | for a mud puddle, which has proba- bly been churned to a mush by the ! heavily loaded vehicles which have tried to get through it, or taking an other road to cover the same dis tance.

EASTER.

The message of Easter is always one of joy and gladness. The resur- rection of Jesus brought light and hope into the dark corners of the world. It was in fulhlment of the promise and the finding of the sepul- cher empty and the hearing of the an- gel say He is risen." was good req son for the fear and great joy that followed.
 And from that day the joy has continued undiminished and spread throughout the world. Easter as the anniversary of the resurrection can not fail to be a time of rejoicing be- cause the resurrection joy is the joy of hope. Hope is an inspiration. Hope strengthens our faith. Without hope the farmer could not plant and SOW and wait for the harvest. It is hope that supports the sick man through days and nights of anguish. It Is hope that enables the business man Co carry on his enterprise. He trades on hope. We all trade or hope and this Is our chief stock in trade Without it life is dull and uninter- esting.
 AS Ahe FteuffeCtlou meant the aS- surance of a life hereafter each an nivorsary. at the beginning of ths season that marks the awakening oi new life here on earth. gives us req son for greater realization of the sac. riice that was made for us. Ther, is thus good reason that the resur. rectiou song should swell louder anC echo wider throughout the land. It il Inc song that must convince tn, doubter. the one that will uplift tn, downcast. strengthen the weak anC replace darkness with sunshine ana happiness.
 Easter is the time for realizing tha the spiritual way is open to us all.

THE HIGH COURT LEAK.

The action of the grand jury of the District of Columbia in indicting four men for conspiracy to defraud the United States of right of secrecy sur- rounding opinions of the supreme court until such time as 1t desired to announcement them is bound to be followed with deep interest.
 The qusrtette includes former private secretary of a supreme court justice. one in the position to get valuable information, an attorney for tho department of justice, a Wash ington business man and lawyer and a New York broker, and their indict- ment follows the presentation of evi. dence secured after 1t had been in- timated that leaks were taking place regarding the decisions of the su- prtme court.

 John Quincy Adams alone has solv- ed the problem of Presidents. He forgot that he had been president at all and went to work like any other citizen.
 Until John Quincy set his truly democratic example, people still looked upon presidents more like old world servants and x-presidents were ex- peeted to bear themselves like de- taorned monarehs.

 Wlln AlS houses III quincy and Boston mortgaged and the income from his estate too slender for the support of his family, John Quincy heard the ominous bark of the wolf at his door as. in his gloomy fancy he closed it upon public life in his 62nd year.
