The word easter" comes from
the Orient. It is the name of the
fair goddess who urged Jupiter to
leave his northern home and come
southwark to gladden. the habitat of
man. She was the goddess of Spring
whom our Saxon forefathers wor-
shiped before they heard Of Jesus
Since His resurrection the word has
become Christianized. 1t has no
meaning apart from His life. Easter
is something more than mythology,
something more than the record Of
great divine event. 1t is challenge
to abundant life today.
Nature and religion unite to pro-
claim the grace of life. Its symbols
are the discarded shell of the sprout-
ed seed. the empty tomb Of the risen
Christ. The universe moves along
the track of the forces that guide
il in the ways of God. Every MOLE
Guile. every atom renews itself under
the reviving processes of the laws OF
life. Whether that life is found in
the tiniest organism or in majesulc
manhood matters not to be propul-
sive movement of incarnation that
speeds the entire system of which
man is a part through the years,
through the aeons, on into the limit
less sweep of eternity. Life and eter-
nifty are one. The former is the unit
of the latter. "If there be no resur-
recsion of the dead" says the apos-
tie, "then are we Of men most mis-
cradle"
What does Easter mean to you
There are many answers to this
question. To some it means nothing.
Its message finds no response in
their hearts. They go about their
usual task or sleep the hours away
To others it means another oppor-
tunity for dissipation. They cele-
brate by SHINING. To another group
Easter means gala day, a time fol-
new frocks and hilarity, as if new
bonnet or feast could in any way
be witness to the ministry and glory
of life. To others Easter is happy
celebration. They are glad, glorious
w clad. All is well with the world
If they have a good choir to sing fol
them, a comfortable church in which
to worship, an outstanding minister
to preach for them Easter is sue
cess.
The day is nothing. however, i
we do not rise above these groups
and make of it spiritual experience
1t has nothing in common with foo
or clothes or the comforts of life
II has to do with eternal things. !
teaches us that this life is not all ant
that death is but an incident owe
which our higher powers yet will tn
umph.

Seeing Red

Eight years after the "war to end
war" was fought to a conclusion,
two-thirds of the population of the
earth is engaged in killing one an
other or threatening to become en-
gagged in bloody conflicts. No part
of the world is free from it. In Eu-
rope, in the Orient, in the western
hemispheres men ale lighting on bat
tlefields.
The war to end wars brought mil
lions of peaceful young men to the
colors and ten millions of them died
on battlefields. Now it all seems a
hollow mockery.
During those days everything
was blamed on Germany. Today it
is poor, c'ippled, half organized
Russia. Morocco resents Spanish
rule-Moscow is to blame. France
bombs defenseless Syrians and the
Arabs into submission, because of
Russia. After $50 years of British
exploitation India demands home
rule. Italy is reaching out for more
territory and France proposes to
fortify all borders. Egypt, Ireland,
! South Africa and even Canada seeks
independence and self-determinatior
| all due to Russia. Mexico's at.
tempt to reestablish educational
economic and political life is bolshe.
vik. And above all, the revolution
in China against foreign exploitation
is laid at the doors of Moscow.
Since when has Russia become
such a power rs to make the whole
world "see red"? The situation is 81
chaotic, so pregnant with interna
tional troubles worldwide in thei
administrations that there is no long
ger any willingness to make peact
moves.
The most astute observers declar,
that it is backwash of the grea
war, which aroused and let loos
the forces of nationalism. II so
there will be serious clashes 70
years to come.

THE AFTERMATH

It was in the days before the war that the Chicago Tribune launched it's safe and sane Fourth" cam paign, taking pains for years to pub fish complete lists of fireworks fla talities throughout the entire United States, no matter how long it took to receive all returns. Other news papers followed and the press asso- citations lent a helping hand. Tho campaign for d more rational ob- servance ot the national holiday fi- naliy began to bear good fruit; at least, there were fewer accidents due to foolhardy handling of explo- sivcs, Many cities began regulating the sale and use of noise-making material, rigidly setting aside the one day for the frolic, not permit ting it 10 extend over half a week. Many cities also put on municipal fireworks displays, which helped to lessen the individual efforts, which always are at least slightly dangcr- ous 10 life, limb and property. Con siderable progress has been made; there still are sad accidents, per haps but nothing per capita like in the good old days beyond recall, " when the newspapers following the Fourth were filled with terrible stories.
 Now we have gone 10 u perdition of accidental death and injury on another tack. The total or personal disasters credited 10 driving the uni versNl gasoline chariots on the holi- day seem to surpass the worst rec ofds of fireworks. The Chicago paper, when years ago it started its safe and sane campaign, little thought that by the time it would become a fair success tbera would

SELLING ITS HOLDINGS WOULD BE A BENEFIT

If the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad is seriously con- sidering, as reported, the disposal of its majority stock in the New York. Ontario 6c Western railroad in order to make a substantial payment upon its heavy loan from the government, it will not be the first time that a relinquishment of this property, ac- quired in 1904, has been bruited. So far, the New Haven has steadily denied all rumors that it desired to adopt this short cut toward paying off some of it's indebtedness: two years ago it refused an offer of $50 a share for it's holdings The price originally paid was s45 a share.
 The New Haven despite the bet ter business and financial returns that it mas enjoyed the last few years, is faced with the necessity of disconnecting itself with some of it's holdings if it would pay off suffi- cient of It's debt to make possible an earlier return to d dividend basis. The New Haven is earning money. but cannot make d showing divi- dendwise because its indebtedness eats up too much of the earnings. The railroad is paying six per cent upon it's large government loan. The government, in refundng a Liberty loan. did so with the object of sav- ing S250, 1000, 900 in the coming years but so far the railroads who were so unfortunate as to borrow money from the governments re- volving fund Nave failed to be favor ed with any refunding which would entail lower interest charge.
 How much would the New Haven's prestige be hurt, or it's in terests threatened, if it disposed of it's N. Y. o. X w. holdingso Or sold any of its other holdingso The best future for the system lies in reducing its indebtedness. It hasn't paid a dividend since June, 1913.

THE PRICE OF GAS

IL is being discovered that the price of gasoline IS higher than tii-. huge production and surplus would justify because there Is a heavy overhead in getting the fluid to the public. Fancy gasoline stations must be paid for. and where there is gasoline station in every block, with half of them not very busy half the time, this also must be paid for Some people think the more compe- tition there is in an industry the lower the prices. There is plenty Of competition in the gasoline distribu- ton business and there are no low prices. If there are 100 gasoline sta- tions where 50 could serve the pub lie equally as we'll it means that the public furnishes the means to main- tain the 100 stations instead of the 50, and that has an important in- fuence upon the rate of profit. The 100 stations would have to get twice the profit on each gallon that the 50 stations would need. But 1t is a bus mess employing many people, and if that's something, what does it matter?

TAXING THE THEATRES

The new state theater tax law is now in effect, and as it is based on seating capacity, regardless of whether the seats are occupied or not, much computation is to be avoided. The theater owners merely pay according to the size of their houses, and the state is sitting prct- ty. The state will collect nearly se00,000 a year, and if collection costs are reduced to a minimum, most of the money will be pure vel vet.
 The public, of course, pays the tax. It is one of the states numer- ous systems of indirect taxation which nobody is supposed to notice.
 If there have been any indirect taxation possibilities overlooked SO far the 1929 legislature will attend to it.

be another troublesome system of carnage to worry about. This is something that the safe and sane campaigns so far have been unable to eradicate. IL is the duty of the press, of course, to emphasize the dangers of reckless driving, thought less driving, and all other kinds of driving that stimulates the accident totals; but despite the efforts of of publications little head way has been made. The wild driv- ing on the Fourth and preliminary holidays is particularly dangerous, and the records are a sad return to a worse condition than that existing in the days Of reckless use of fireworks.
