Greek psalm or song, but must leave
the explanation to classical scholars.
All I know Is that we used to sing
u palm song until we went to bed
quite hoarse with the singing and rath.
err the worse for the different bites Of
swan" we had enjoyed In. the course
Of the day. That glorious prediction
Of the good Easter egg" is largely full
filed, you may be sure.
The soft-eyed, downy Easter hare
does not lay Its eggs for us, as It does
for u little German neighbors. Our
eggs are laid by ordinary hens, but
they are wonderful Just the same.
Grandmothers, aunts and sisters
muse themselves by knitting many
cOlOred little nets to hold the Easter
treasures and, on Saturday, mother
hangs up a big kettle Of some mysteri-
Gus stuff to dye the eggs with. Some
are eolored green with spinach leaves,
others red with beet Juice. The more
elegant ones are painted by some art
list friend and provided with names
and dates, flowers and even pictures.
The ~many-colored nets are filed with
eggs and oranges and kept in store to
be given out on Easter morning.
Battle Of Eggs Begins.
You really would suppose It a pity
to break these carefully prepared
treasures, but the little vandals think
differently. Sometimes the battle be-
gins at home at the traditional Easter
lunch of currant bread and ~hard-boiled
eggs. Every member Of the family
arms himself with the hardest egg he
can pick out and then the fun IL to
beat your egg against that Of your
neighbor and try which is the harder
Of the two. The egg that breaks is
forfeited to the one who breaks It.
Be sure you will see no wooden
shoes; II must be a very poor mother,
indeed. who does not give n pair of
real" shoes to her little ones on
Easter day. Often there is q band
playing OF the Easter meadow and a
Punch's show to amuse the children,
or a merry-go-round inviting yor to
get seasick at the shortest possible
notice. They don't heed that, the lit
tie onesi They sit on the wooden
horses or in the little sleighs and en-
joy being driven round In a. circle to
the tune of the barrel organ and the
merry little bell that rings at every
round. And In the evening when the
oil lamps are lighted the merry,go-
round is a gorgeous sight with its
horses, sleighs, bright copper styles
and draperies of red velvet and white
lace. And the grown-up boys and girls
take the places of the little ones, and
their laughter sounds merrily over the
field where the evening dew Is falling.
A. The End Of the Day.
Then when darkness comes and the
glorious sun IL gone. suddenly on all
sides Of the horizon other lights ap-
pear, the Easter bonfires sending their
flames on high rs q symbol Of light

Of Palm Sunday the windows Of
the little bakers shops are suddenly
decorated by a collection Of odd-lOok-
ing swans, made Of a kind Of bread
dough and ornamented by big, black
currant eyes. OF course the shapes
are somewhat primitive and make you

wheels OF the sam breadlike material,
about as big as a good-sized plate, serv-
ing as a solid basis for the Easter palm
that Is going to be made. On Easter
eve, when the little ones have gone to
bed, father and mother have a busy
time constructing that work Of art.
First the wheel must be attached to

lies horizontally, some six swans are
placed upright. each with a twig Of fr

chains Of ~ralsins, prunes and many

Political Action Called Failure.
heard q speech In London that
deeply impressed me. II was applaud
ed by several thousand men and wOm-
en-average good British working peO-
pie. Most Of the men wore service
badges. The speaker. a clean young
Englishman of about thirty-fve. said:
Political action is a failure. We
vote and we are betrayed. Political
parties are the agents of bands of
capital. Their purpose is to keep the
workers apart. knowing that divided
We are pOwerless. The only time they
are willing We should unite is when
war calls for men. What did we win
In the war? Nothing. We thought we
had a stake in the game. that the hand
We were playing was our own. Now
that ii Is over we have discovered that
We Won nothing.
"What did the working man ever
get by voting, except the worst of 1t?
The word vote comes from a Latin
word. meaning to WISH Who ever got
anything by wishing?
I'VE are like the story In Bellamy's
Looking Backward You remember
he spoke of a coach. On top of this
coach the capitalists sit In the sun
shine enjoying the ride. On the side
of the coach. hanging by their finger
nails and toenails are the hundreds of
thousands who make up the middle
class. Millions of men are pulling the
coach. They are sweating and trudg-
ing-they are the working men. Run
ming along the side of the coach are
millions more, fighting to get a chance
to get hold of the rope and pull the
coach. They are the idle. There is
only one thing TO do. That is to stop
pulling the coach, let go of the rope.
Don't wish about 1t; do 1t. The fellows
on the top Of the coach don't do any
wishing-they boss and drive"
The crowd cheered. There is some
truth in the speech. 1t is true that
the working man has not had n square
deal, but the fact that he has not had
fair treatment does not make the plan
Of direct action a sane. wise plan.
Revolution would only lead to blood
and disorder and leave the very men
who revolted In n worse plight than
they are now. The millions who are
the majority have an Infinitely better
weapon than force. They have the
ballot. They are In the majority. Men
must think their way out of the will

out. When they try to they go deeper

AUTHORITY LIMITS

Washington, Nov. 11.-State rail-
ways and utilities commissioners in
their annual convention here today
adopted resolutions asking the In
terstate Commerce commission for
a conference to define the relative
authority of the state commissions
and the federal commission under
the transportation act.
The resolutions as adopted said:
I'm order that the maximum bene-
fits may be derived from the Co
operative provisions of the trans
portation act it is desirable that it
should be understood in what class
es of cases of cooperation between
state and federal authorities
deemed feasible by the Interstate
Commerce commission and re-
spect to each such class whether
by joint conference or by joint
hearing, and under what rules of
procedure such conferences or
hearings may be initiated and car
ried forward"
Other resolutions adopted in
Guided authorization for the ap-
pointment of a committee of seven
on litigation to represent the state
commissions in any matters arising
in which they may be interested
and for a committee of three to
make a general survey and digest
of laws creating utility corpora
tons and to make recommends
tons to the next convention.

POLITICAL FACTS.

Even the wicked can quote scripture to prove their
points tonguey political orator can bring up lot
of statistics and alleged facts to demonstrate any
kind of a proposition on heaven earth. great
many speakers particularly orators of the soap box
type make it a speciality of quoting statistics. 1t
sounds very learned, and gives the impression that
the uuoter is careful student of economics.
But if anyone took the trouble to look up lot
of these facts and statistics, it would be found
that they were based misconception They
commonly omit some vital consideration that would
completely alter their meaning.
If a speaker makes a wild statement, some one
ought to be willing to put in little time and effort
to look the thing up. 1t would be well if many well
informed citizens would provide themselves with
statistical abstract from the government bureau of
publications, which would be the means of correct
ing a lot of these misstatements.
A usually well informed gentleman said the other
day that the big fortune owned by a certain family,
imposed tax of $4,000 annually upon every person
in America. As that is only one of a considerable
sum several times the entire income of the American
people being used up every year by small
number of wealthy families.
While these few people have large share
of the country's riches, such statement the
above is manifestly preppsterous People who make
of these loose takers could frequently confronted
with the cold facts of reality they would check their
flowing tongues little more frequently.

NOT BY BREAD ALONE.

The example of some of Albuquerque's banks,
which have purchased for their employees season
tickets for the series of concerts given by the Fort
nightly Music club and the American Legion, is
one that should be followed by other business
houses.
1t is to the interest of all citizens, employers
included, that the and women of Albuquerque
shall hear good music from time to time. 1t would
be a platitude to dwell the value of art both
as a soul-builder and city-builder. Man does
not live by bread alone"
Next Monday evening, the Fortnightly club and
the Legion will give the second of its concerts. The
Montague Light Opera singers will offer varied
program, ranging from DeKoven to Verdi, from
Victor Herbert to Puccin Selections from old
favorites like Aida La Boheme,' and 81 Pag-

THE FEVER OF MODERN LIFE.

speaker at the Worlds Sunday School conven-
ton a few days ago attempted to place the blame
for social unrest and crime. He attributed these
conditions to three causes, the breaking up OF
homes by divorces and separations the tendency
toward skepticism in religious belief, and the
nervous and feyerish rush of modern life
All these causes WORK toward the results stated
The rush of the times is destructive of moral
standards Many people driving so fast to
make money, that they have no thought for their
obligations to the community.
When a gets absorbed in business, the
duty of bringing up the children is handed over
to the mother Frequently the children. particularly
the boys need strong fatherly hand. Without that
they drift into dsordery ways Such man has
no time to put into community work. He ought to
be engaging in public enterprises, helping build up
social influences in his home town that will keep
the young people developing along good lines.
Not all the evils of modern life are to be
attributed OF this feverish pace. The many people
who have been trying to how little work they
could do are not showing symptoms of fever. But
there is q golden mean in everything. Everyone
