SWING OF THE PENDULUM

The pendulum of public sentiment
which has been swinging toward ma
tional bureaucracy that attained its
apogee during the World War, is
noticeably turning back. 1t has been
evident in the attitude OF our State
Legislature toward the so-called
child-labor resolve and the maternity
act.
The tabled heroes, that fought the
hydra-headed monster in it's lair, had
need Of no greater courage than has
been required of those who have
crossed the path of bureaucracy in
the National Capital. 1t is hydra
headed; it dies hard, but the pub
lies sentiment to which it has by
many and some devious ways ap-
pealed, Is cooling. Indeed, the home
folks are bestirring themselves in an
endeavor to do that which hitherto
they have been willing for George to
do.
Human nature persists. The doing
of ones part in busy world Is eX-
acting, especially to those, who think
there is so much for them to do that
they have no time for civic interest
and self-sacrifice. So it will come
about that affairs needing attention
will easily be overlooked. The need
OF uniformity and consistency in
method and application will become
impressive and after a period the
pendulum probably will start to
swing back toward federal control
But let's make the most Of this OPP
portunity to see what we can do for
ourselves. to show that we can man.

EASTER OBSERVANCE

disturbed by discord over non-essen-

Ing manifested in the, proposal for a

the observance of this occasion. In
the third century there was a bitter
controversy over this matter, Chris
tians in Asia celebrating on the day
OF the Jewish passover whereas in
Italy the following Sunday was the
occasion. For hundred years the
controversy was continued, often bit
terly, until Constantine interviewed.
To what extent this bitterness inter-
fered with the significance of Easter
may be left to the imagination.
1t matters not to- us now, and it
is we'll so. whether Easter derived
its name from a pagan goddess.

the ancient church celebrated Easter
over a period of eight days. What
does matter is that the significance

tianity was able to endow a pagan
festival of joy with an enduring
sense of the spiritual; it has been
able over centuries to disregard
wrangling about the hour and the
day without losing sight of the sig
nificance. That we must not lose, for
1t is very precious.
