 perhaps the last person to hold an extended conversation with that wizard of plant life, is an outstand- ing figure in the horticultural world. His achievements in devel- oping the ruffed and laciniated types of gladiolus have brought him fame in every land, and his 63-acre gladiolus farm, at Goshen, Ind, is accounted the worlds greatest testing ground for flowers.
 Last season, in these huge trial beds, there were growing more than 5000 different varieties of gladioli grown separately, more than 10000 select kinds in mix lures, some 3OO,OOO different seed. lings and more than 100000 new seedlings coming on.
 Among the prize-winners which MT. Kunderd presented to Presi- dent Coolidge were several speci- mems of one of these seedlings which he has named, by special permission. in honor of the First Lady of the land.

MAHER BILL AND PLATFORM

Just why is anyone seeking to
have the Republican convention en-
dorse the Maher Bill? Is this the
wish of friends or of enemies of the
proposed law?
If the former, what do they expect
TO gain by 1t? Do they think there
is so little of interest in the matter
that it is desirable to arouse 1t by
making it political football which
1t now is not, nor should be?
A Republican Legislature afforded
the people an opportunity to express
their real opinions respecting this
question. This does not mean that
all Republicans want the law. or that
all Democrats do not want IL. It is
well known that such is not the case.
AS we understand it one of the
chief merits of the measure would be
to. remove our educational affairs
from political intrigue. A way has
been provided for so doing whereby
the voters may determine the matter
for themselves without regard to
their respective party affiliations.
If the measure is important its
friends or it's enemies have other
ways than party propaganda by
which they may present and urge
their pros and cons. Why not leave
it thar way?

EASTER IN JERUSALEM

The Arabs wrested the Holy Land
from the Eastern empire in the
seventh century and although Mo-
manned the Prophet in his later
life withdrew his concessions to other
faiths the Arabs placed no obstacles
in the way OF Christian pilgrims to
Jerusalem. 1t remained for the
Turks to do this. They began their
expressions after they conquered
Syria in $50 but not until 1865 after
the Turks had overwhelmed the land
did this oppression become SO severe
as to arouse western Europe and re-
suit in the First Crusade.
The Turks are no longer in control
at Jerusalem. but their oppression of
Christian pilgrims ceased long ago.
This from the Associated Press on
Thursday describes present day con-
ditions, vivid by way Of contrast with
those once existing:
Jerusalem, exalted In the memory
and imaginat ton of Jews, Christians
and Mohammedans, again Is filling
with thousands of pilgrims and tour
lists as the annual Easter celebra-
lions draw near"
Easter Sunday saw the climax to
week of prayer and the tolling of
bells, the Via Dolorosa thronged with
those who ;ostled peacefully under
the dome Of the sepulchre. holding
lighted candles and crying: Christ
is risen"
The ways of peace in the Holy
Land, doubtless have not altogether
oblterated fanatical prejudice from
the hearts Of all the throngs n1ingl-
ing in the life of Palestine. but sure
ly they have helped. The demands
of life as nowadays lived will not be
denied by the fanatic. They surely
lead to better understanding, to
clearer comprehension of the i'm
perative quality of the insistence to
live and let live. Of the common need
that this be done.

The Navy League
Takes Sharp Issue

Washington, April b,-The Navy
League OF the United States took
sharp issue today with press sum-
maries of the British Admiralty
"Blue-book, "a presenta ton of data
concerning the ships of the chief
navies of the world.
The press summaries criticized
were based on story carried by the
London Evening News and stated
that the British fleet is out numbered
by the American feet 444 70 543, and
also stated that the United States
had secretly armed its battleships
with 5-inch anti-aircraft guns.
The League commends the Blue
book as a valuable publication. but
states that the summary of vessels
which appears at the beginning Of
the hook IS misleading because ii
includes vessels which are obsolete
in the British Admiralty's own
definition. Further than this. the
League states, the various effective
age-limits assigned different types of
vessels have been increased over the
ages assigned in previous Blue books.
which changes do not materially
affect the British list but cause the
iHCluSloI 70 numerous OFIer vessels
in the fleets of bther countries.
The charge that our Navy had
secretly mounted superior aircraft
guns is characterized by the League
as stupid, this information having
been made public in April 1925. The
Statement follows:
'"The so-called Blue book. issued
annually by the British Admiralty,

strength Of the leading navies of

publication which should not be
overlooked by those on this side Of

that made by the London Evening
News and quoted widely In this coun-
try. that the United States has 543
warships to 444 for Great Britain.
