EASTER Music

The music of Christmas has a
kind OF romantic quality. Written
to celebrate the day when Jesus
came TO earth a little child, it is
suited to the festival day of child
hood. and voices the brightness and
merriment and aspirations OF youth.
The music OF Easter is different.
II tells story of triumph over suf-
fering. II has its sOmher notes of
tragedy. swelling into high song
of triumph. Ii teaches that man
rises victorious over the grave, and
il asks death where is its sting.
Church choirs put much work in
to their preparation for these two
great festivals. The worlds great
est musical geniuses have written
compositions to celebrate these
events. These masters of harmony
speak straight to the heart. We
should thank all singers and mu-
sicians who have tOiled long and
earnestly to bring us the Easter
songs of inspiration and joy, and
go out from hearing them strength
ened TO meet the conflicts of life.

authorities, that advertising is an
essential element in the recovery of

Utilizing RESOURCES

The old idea of building up a town.
was almost always TO go out and
induce some new industry TO move
in. Many communities have been
disappointed in the gains thus Sc
cured. and 1t has become more COM
mon now for a town to hook to its
own resources for development.
Every town has good resources.
II has young men who are com
petent to start in business. If they
could have encouragement. 1t has
bright young people, who should be
encouraged to find work at home
where they could do well. 1t spends
a lot of money. most OF which should
be kept at home. If a town just
the resources Of its own
1t is sure TO make
progress.

CARE FOR THE AGED

A law was enacted in Iowa a few
days ago, comforting pensions on
needy people who have reached a
certain age. Thus Iowa becomes
the 29th state to enact an old age
pension law. 1t is commonly ad-
mitted that when worthy people have
passed beyond the age of success
full labor. and have no means of
support. the community must be gen.
erOus to them.
Such a law should he administer
ed with discretion. When the near
relatives of such needy persons are
able to support them, they should
do so. But the solitary and desti-
tute worker whose earning power
has gone should not be allowed TO
end his days in privation and misery.

AID For SMALLER INDUSTRIES

President Roosevelt asks to have
II Federal credit banks established.
which will provide credit for many
of the smaller industries. lie thinks
there is demand for capital total
ing $7OO.O0O, 900 for such companies.
and that providing these loans will
keep GAG. 900 men at work. and make
Jobs for 37S,OOO more.
Most Industries have to borrow
money. Few of them 90 it on their
own capital alone. Apparently many
OF them are unable to borrow it
now. Yet if they could get it. they
could put more people TO work. If
this measure becomes law, many
people will clamor for aid from this
fund who would never pay back the
money. But if prudent care is eXer-
cised this capital should be provided
without heavy losses.
Milford chronicle., 1934-03-30
THE PURSUIT OF CRIME

II the criminals who are terror
izing the people of the United States
going through banks all over the
country, committing the most out
rageOus depredations. are to be sue
cessfully pursued. the business OF
pursuing them must be we'll re-
warded. The more successful Grim
inals are using science and modern
invention with deadly kind of skill
1t takes both courage and brains to
pursue them successfully. The peO-
pie who get after them risk their
lives in many cases. They are deal
ing with a desperate class of men
who seem devoid of all human feel
ing. and will put a man ION the
spot" with as little cOmpunctiOn as
they would step on a worm.
This type of men can and must
be suppressed. but Il will take both
money and brains to do it. A de-
tective who through remarkable
shrewdness OF instinct and expert
ence tracks down such a crook, is
entitled TO a high rewarad. The
best men in that business should
have generous salaries. and all who
show skill and science in II should
be very well paid.
II is pointed out that men who
are doing splendid work in this oc-
are as a rule poorly paid.
which is not much inducement TO
lead others of the same type to en-
ter that business.
II may he said that this is no time
to increase expenses anywhere. But
the criminals who are making war
against the country must be put
down, cost or no cost. If some ma
lion attacked us. we should find the
somewhere TO fight them.
When the criminals attack us as
they are doing. we must somehow
scrape together the resources TO
fight them adequately.
The successful detection OF crime |
should be so well rewarded. that |
many more brainy and resOurceful |
men would be attracted into this
business.

BIG MEN As FISHERMEN

President Roosevelt has been
manning TO take a southern fishing
trip within a short time. Why Is
il that so many of our foremost
statesmen, philosophers, ministers
etc, have been so very fond OF fish
ing? How Is il that man whose
mind has been so explained that he
can take in the vast problems of
State or philosophy. can spend time
pursuing little fish which he could
buy at some provision store?
Says Henry Van Dyke. famous
clergyman and nature lover: Every
man owes it to himself to have some
day in his life when he escapes from
bondage. gets away from routine,
and does something which seems to
have no purpose in the world, jnSl
because he wants to do it.

ceeds, lin the house of life, we never

MAKING FRIENDS

Some people can live in a town
for years. and know very few peo-
pie and have but few friends. Such
ones often become disgruntled. and
complain that they are not properly
noticed.
Other people will move into a
town. and within two or three years
they know everybody who is active
in the community. The difference
is usually that this latter type Of
folks are willing TO take hold and
work for the good Of the town. They
join organizations. offer to do their
share Of work. are named on com
mittees. become officers of societies.
These activities bring them in con-
tact with the public. and it is very
easy for them to make acquain-
tances. Service brings friends.

EASTER'S REAL MEANING

Easter Sunday sees a great out
mourning to the churches, of people
who rarely visit the sanctuary at
other times. Where the minister's
voice had echoed sadly through a
poorly filled auditorium. now he
finds mass of earnest faces con-
fronting him.
How is il that all at once II comes
over many folks, that il is a good
idea To turn mp at the house of wOr-
shin? In the larger cities, the
thrung is Il kind of style show. II
is sight TO see these lordly gentle
ment in their impressive tall hats
and tail coats. and the lovely ladies
in the finest creations of the mil
liners art II is pageant that re-
fleets all that the art of human cos
tuning can do tn create dignity and
beauty.
The church displays mass OF
flowers. a picture of vernal bloom
and beauty. The choir's classic per-
formances, the brilliant vOcalism OF
the finest singers, the pealing notes
Of the organ the sOnorOus tones and
eloquent words of the preacher,
make most interesting spectacle,
viewed merely in its superficial
light.
But the world is empty. if We
never get deeper under the skin OF
things. and feel the life pulsating
beneath Easter presents TO the
mind great thought. II cOmmem-
crates a historic event. the resur-
rection of Jesus, which you can in
terpret in various ways according to |
your temperament, but which any
way has overturned world history, |
and set in motion great currents OF |
progress.
1t teaches what appears to be an
imperishable truth. that there is or
can be something immortal in our
carnal flesh, that that something is
a spark or seed which must be kept |
alive. and which if so nourished and
protected will grow to glorious
fruition in some fairer scene.

RECOVERY AND REFORM

Some reformers do not seem at all
anxious for those economic gains
classed as industrial recovery. They
are fearful that if the country simp-
ly tries to get back where it was be-
fore the economic collapse. the old
evils will never be abolished.
II is often characteristic of the
people called reformers, they they
want to reform everything all at
once. They believe in destroying
the old structures of business and
society. and building new ones from
the ground floor up.
The trouble with that idea is that
human nature is full of faults and
selflshness. and it has an almost in
finite capacity for making mistakes.
Crime and fraud are more common
than ever before. If the United
States undertakes to construct en-
tirely anew its whole system Of
business and politics. with all this
defective human material, the new
systems will be long way from
perfect,
The average citizen remembers
the old prOverb about half loaf
being better than no bread" about
taking the cash and letting the
credit CO." and about "a bird in the
hand being worth more than two
birds in the bush" The man in
The street" wants to put conditions
back where practically all the peO-
pie capable of holding jobs will be |
able TO get them. If those cOndi-
ions can be restored. the people |
will take care of other things that
need 10 be done.
There is such a thing as biting
If more than yOn can chew When

ry. they did not attempt To clear out

THE TREASURE ISLANDS

A party Of distinguished scientists
has returned to San Diego, Cali
fornia. after a voyage to various
islands in the Pacific in search of
biological specimens. These islands
have long been famous as places
where old pirates were supposed to
have buried their treasure. The
treasures which the scientists
sought were rare specimens Of ma
rine life. but many others must
have visited those islands in hopes
of recovering old pirate booty.
Innumerable seekers have search
ed for old pirate boards in both At
lantic and Pacific oceans, but prob
ably only few Of these searches
have been successful. Probably
hose old pirates were like the BAN
dts to today, who spend their money
as fast as they steal it. The best
place to look for buried treasure,
is in the unrealized opportunities OF
our home neighbOrhOOds.

THE NEWSPAPER FIELD

People become attached to news
papers. just as they do to the scenes
Of their childhood or their old homes.
When a newspaper has been COM
ing into a persons home for long
time. II seems like an old family
friend. II such a newspaper is dis
continued. or merged with some
other journal. so that its appearance
and methods are changed. people
feel as If valued friend had drop
ped out of sight.
The newspaper fraternity appre-
ciates what a privilege ii is to ere
ate a product that thus endears it,
self to the people. and they pledge
TO do their best to de-
serve that position which they have
secured.

THE STATES AND THE NATION

There has been a perpetual con-
troVersy as to whether power should
be taken from the State govern
ments and given to the Federal gov
ernment. Presidential elections have
been fought on this issue. It has
overturned political parties. The
Democratic party once stood for the
rights OF States, while its opponents
asked more power for the Federal
government. OF late. the Democratic
party has concentrated power at
Washington. while the Republican
party has seemed more disposed to
cling to State rights.
Prohibition concentrated power
at Washington. but the recent reac-
tiOn sent the control over liquor
back to the States. Yet a cOnstitn-
tional amendment is now ratified
by 90 States. which wOuld give the
Federal government power to reg
ulate child labor.
How are we going TO adjust this
much fought question. so as to pre-
serve the rights of localities. yet
secure enough unity OF action to
promote progress?
The Federal government has
more on its hands now than II can
really attend to. Washington is a
long distance from most OF the
States. If the citizens of a State
have some business they want
out. II is far easier to
adjust it at their own State capital
than at Washington. Their own
State government usually under
stands conditions in that State bet
er than they are understood at
Yet with 4S systems of State laws
at cross purposes. the
States often seem helpless. The
DeOple should make their State gov
rnments so efficient that they will /
lot have to run to Washington TO
Iet small grievances relieved. But
( State governments do not meet
he needs of the people. the Federal
government will be called in to rem
dy the troubles complained of.

WORN OFT HOTSES

The movement To abolish slnm
conditions in cities, is likely Ia see
many outworn and antiquated old
tenement dwellings demolished.
Many dwellings of that type are
standing idle. If the owners had
been able or willing to keep them
repaired from year to year. and in
stall modern improvements, the
greater part of these dwellings
would still be- occupied.
Young people brought up in our
schools are not satisfied To live in
worn out old houses without modern
facilities. They often move out into
the outskirts of towns and travel a
considerable distance To gain the
satisfactiOns of a neat home.
If the owners of real estate want
their property to continue salable or
rentable. il will be necessary to
maintain the property in reasonably
good condition. and put in enough
modern improvements so that such
a house will he sanitary and COM

they can not afford to keep houses

many cases. that an owner could

.ession in the matter of rent.

UNEMPLOYED Youth

The position of elderly men and
women who have lost their jobs
and can't find anyone to take them
on. is pathetic. But they are per-
haps no more unhappy than several
millions of school and college grad
yates. who have not yet been able
to find regular work.
Some of these youngsters are get
ting bitter. II looks to them as IL
the world was miserably managed.
They demand that the community
straighten out its troubles. and find
a chance to work for all willing
hands.
Some of the boys turn to crime.
They argue that as the world can
not or will not find honest work for
them to- do. they have to live, there
fore they are justified in taking
anything they can lay their hands
on. II is wretched logic and they
will ruin their future. and land in
prison for long terms on that line
of policy. But they feel that way.
and their sentiment must he taken
into account.
These young folks should not get
down hearted. Fortunately, youth
Is ordinarily hopeful. Most of these
are sensible enough to
understand that the world has al
ways had these periods of depres-
sion. and has always recovered from
hem.
The young people should realize

THE PRESIDENT INTERVIEWS

President Roosevelt has told the
railroad managers and employees
that active prosecution of the con-
trOYersy existing between them
would have a most disturbing and
unfortunate effect.
In labor disputes there are three
parties which have an interest in
the matter: Labor, capital, and the
general public. Labor and capital
frequently act as if their disputes
concerned them alone But the pub
lie suffers from such controversies
more than anyone else. 1t is about
as II two neighbOrs carried on a pri-
vate war on your property. and
il seriously. The cOmmun-
ity needs TO protect its rights in
such matters, and take steps so that
quarrels between labor and capital
do not cause great losses to every
body.

MOTOR MAKERS GENEROUS

A recommendation that working
hours be reduced. and wages be in
creased, in the automobile industry,
is made by the directors of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. This generous action will
open the factory doors to many men
who have been wearily tramping the
streets, and it will help move the
stocks of goods that have clOgged
the shelves in many retail stores.
This action is like the breaking Of
blue sky through thick clouds. 1t
means that a stream of horded
money is coming out of its frozen
retreats, and setting the wheels OF
industry In motion again.

NEW LABOR DEAL
NO MORE STRIKES
(Rv Ida NJ. TarbelN

Three things men must Justify
War, Revolution, Strikes. The mod
ern world no longer forgives the
wanton use OF torce-tolerates II
only when II can be proved that the
end Il seeks Is Just and reasonable,
and that peaceful attempts at set
tlement were exhausted before force
was applied.
One of the ironies OF the day In
the country, however. Is that one OF
our greatest organized efforts. one
which has always been the loudest
IN its denunciation OF war between
nations Is Insisting on It's own right
to use force In settling its difficul-
ties.
Mr.. Green Is claiming for labor
what he denies to nations. He Is
not willing to outlaw force when IL
comes to adjusting difficulties with
employers. He would bargain, but
always with a weapon In his hand.
Has not the time come when labor
can be asked like nations to aban-
don force as a weapon. TO repudiate
1t as the nations of the earth have
done war and turn frankly and
whOleheaTtedly to the working out
of peaceful processes of adjustment?
Could It make a greater contribu-
tiOn today tn the reorganization of
Industrial life which has been set
in motion than to drop its military
publicly, announce its adoption OF
peaceful processes?

DON'T LIKE TIP SYSTEM

The Amalgainated Food Workers
of New York City protest against
the system Of payment by which
these workers have to depend large
ly on tips or fees for their wages.
They want living wages, so they
will not have TO depend on their
ability to lure silver coins out of
the pockets of patrons.
The tipping system is not popular.
II one has to hand out dimes and
quarters and bigger coins at every
turn, travelling becomes expensive,
and people are more inclined to stay
at home. But some people like to
see the walters jumping at their
command. and will always give tips.
II they do so. others feel they have
to.
