The Joy
of LiUing
n ASSOVER, Easter, Spring
the essence of meaning at the

TIC tSScuCc VI ulcduluS dI luS
heart of our rejoicing in
each of these at this season is
the sheer joy of living.
Of all the wonders of life the
greatest is-Life itself.
That we live and that we know
we are alive passes our under
standing. Far from having ceased
to marvel, we feel even more deep
ly than the ancients the mystery
of life. We are overawed; we
bow in reverence in the presence
Of the vast unknown.
And yet we feel more at home
in the universe than did our an
cestors. We realize that the world
is our eternal dwelling place,
from which even death cannot
Danish us.
Life, the myriad-sided marvel,
rules everywhere. Change is the
law of life. There is no destruc-
ton. Annihilation cannot be.
This is the deep faith of the
modern which his eternal spirit
sees and to which science attests
And so we joy in being alive
Passover celebrates liberation
from bondage. Easter acclaims
the Risen Lord.
Beneath historic record and
specific faith, the general rejoicing
in this season is the expression Of
our common welcome to the new
born year.
In the Spring we feel anew the
thrill of the current of life uni,
versal. Clearly, now, we sense
the throb of life eternal.
Eagerly now we drink deep OF
the red wine of life. We "rise'
with the rest Of nature. We are
glad that new life has come to US
new strength, new hope, new
courage, new aspiration.
We are mindful that, for Man
Life means opportunity and re
sponsibility, sublime discomfort
struggle, achievement, dreams
the yearning to be and to do
more and better, in every moment
of the Eternal Now.
Such is the sheer Joy of Living

4 King Who
Died Rich

II Of Austria and King of
Hungary, died in exile the
other day.
From all accounts he was a
harmless, kindly man, devoted to
his family and without either vice
or viciousness.
A few years ago he was one
of the great ones on earth. He
died in poverty.
Do you remember the accounts
of his coronation7 They de-
scribed a succession of gorgeous
scenes of barbaric splendor, the
panorama of the worlds history
for a background, prelates of the
church and potentates and am.
bassadors of the worlds Powers
in attendance, jewels, beautiful
women, brilliant decorations and
festivities. A glorious cathedral
for a stage. The world as specta-
tors. And he put upon his own
head the bejeweled crown of the
Hapsburgs, which denoted untold
power and wealth and prestige.
He died in rented house on a
small island to which he had been
banished, with only his wife and
son and a doctor at his bedside.
His devoted wife offered her
blood for TRANSMISSION to save him.
"Deposuit potentes de sede,"
runs the old psalm; "et exaltapit
humileS.
"He has put down the mighty
| from their seat and exalted them
of low degree"
Cobblers and carpenters reign
in the place of the last of the
royal Hapsburgs. Whether the
change be for the veal or the
woe of millions of people remains
for Time to reveal.
Emperor Charles was glorified
in the eyes of his followers be-
cause he represented an idea. The
idea has been brushed away-and
the Emperor with it.
Providence decreed that he was
to be humiliated and cast out. No
man may resist the DEGREES of
Providence.
What memory of him shall re-
main with the futurei A great
achievement A powerful per-
sonalityf A builder, a doer, a
thinkerl Alas, none of these.
But, some lonely soul, in future
lagos, happening upon the account
of his career, may bow his head
in a moment of reverence, with
this thought:
His wife offered to give her
blood to save his life.
What more can life offer to a

A Great National Park
Along the Potomac
BY BILL PRICE.

Every citizen of the nation should be vitally and
keeny interested in the Congressional resolution of
Senator FERNALD of Maine, directing a survey of
both banks of the Potomac river from Washington to
Great Falls, with view to the extension Of the park
system of the District all the way to of the most
beautiful falls and water scenes in the world
The war aroused to its utmost, and cemented, the
patriotism of America, and more than ever that
patriotism centers around the National Capital
where the nations history has been made. Here
beats the true heart of America and here the NAM
moth machinery of the republic attracts and holds
the attention of the nations citizenry.
Realizing the national interest in Washington, the
railroads entering the city arranging for an i'm
influx of visitors, and the Baltimore and Ohio
is advertising far and wide the attractions of the Ma
tional Capital.
The proposed park would add to the manifold
beauties which bring Americans here by thousands
The picturesque Potomac moves from Great Falls
toward Washington through a natural gorge, both
sides of which for beauty rival scenes anywhere in
the world. Expenditures for artificial additions to
what nature has already done would not be large
nor the upkeep excessive.
The lands along the river can be bought now at
prices far below their worth in few more years.
They be acquired by private purchase or con-
uenlhdtiou. IHe IoIdl coSI 10 tne uoVeTnmenL WOuQ
be as nothing compared to the pleasure the park
would bring to the nations citizens.
Virginia and Maryland would be particularly
interested in the project nasmuch the park would
take in historical territory in those States
There has been candid admission in Congress that
the park system of the National Capital is not what
it should be- The economies applied by Congress to
the District in the last five years have affected all
projects for continued Identification but the outlook
is becoming promising for extension of the
park system to portions of the District which have
been without parks.
Northeast and southeast Washington are entitled
to consideration in appropriations for parks, while
Rock Creek and Potomac Parks are being developed
and the District Commissioners have steadily recon-
mended the purchase of the Patterson tract in the
northeast part of the District for park purposes
The pending District appropriation may, and should,
provide for that park.
The reclaimed lands along the eastern branch Of
the Potomac will become part of the park system and
give great beauty to southeast Washington.
Along the southeastern border of the District is
Oxon creek, which runs through region that could
be developed into notably fine park. This creek
empties into the Potomac opposite Alexandria, and
would be the basis for park in section of the Dis
trict which has long been neglected.
The project of Senator Fernald is not so local in
character as the others mentioned. 1t would be vel
coined by Washington people, who would of course
enjoy its beauties to the fullest extent but the plan
is national in character.

Nine loads of livestock arrived at
North Portland Wednesday ON a mix

cattle were slow and weak, while
sheep and lambs ruled fairly steady.
In the cattle alleys there is again
a surplus showing at North Portland.
While total new arrivals Wednesday
wero but 199 head, there are very
liberal supplies held over from Mon
day.
Buyers would rather sell than take
hold at this time. Their feed lots arc
overfilled and they are in no position
to make further immediate purchases.
At the best, the cattle market could
not be called better than slow and
weak.

The next Democratic presidential can

must be one who can attract the COM

York would, undoubtedly, have the
right of way over Ralston as the con-
sentative candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination were it not for
the fact that his nomination would be

into the campaign.
Smiths surprising defeat of Hearst,
the Tammany Hall candidate, for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination,
and his recent election over his able
Republican opponent, Governor Miller,
by the most decisive plurality ever run
up in the Empire state, has made him
the most outstanding figure in the
Democratic party.
