ITO prevent the necessity Of hasty
liquidation of large properties in order
10 pay the tax, it might be provided
that inheritance taxes be payable In
q convenient number Of installmrnts.'
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Morgen-
than Is To Impose graduated inheritance
taxes on estates, with rates following
those of the present income tax rates,
which approximate 60 per cent on in
comes of a million dollars or more.
The present estate taxes have q max
imum Of GO per cent over ten million
dollars.
Thus there would first be a tax oil
GO per rent upon the estate or gift,
and then another tax Of 60 per cent
to be paid by those lnheriting or re-
celvlng IL. This would amount to a
combined rate of IS per cent on an
estate Of one hundred million dollars
II all this money were handed ont

CECRETARY ICKES' Department OF
- the Interior has now been elevated
to the level OF the State, Treasury and
Agriculture departments, for congress
has granted one OF Harold's dearest
wishes and given him an undersecre-
tary. whose salary is to be $4,000 a
year. This was a senate amendment to
the Interior department appropriation
bill, and was accepted by the house,
Dab to 90. only after considerable pres
sure had been applied by the admins
tration. Many Of the house Democrats
have asserted that Mr.. Ickes snubbed
them, and they would have liked moth
Ing better than to administer a rebuke
to him by defeating the amendment,
but the party leaders drove them into
line.

the New Dealers for the safety Of

Secretary Ickes, as public works adj

dam navigable rivers unless specifically

such specific projects as the Parker

reclamation projects that have received

40, the Winter is past: sthe flowers
appear on the earth; the time of the
singing of birds is come"
This finely descriptive and pic
turesque passage occurs in one Of the
great poems in the Old Testament,
namely, the Songs of Solomon. 1t
suggests a freshened hope and the
renewal of life that marks the days
of early Spring. It fitly describes
the dominant note OF Easter. As Lent
is designated THE Spring Fast"
Easter comes as its climax bringing
with 1t the mighty truths which the
risen Saviour of mankind gave to
men In that early morning nineteen
centuries ago. A rock-hewn sepulchre
in garden in a remote corner of
the world has focused the thought
and reverent interest of men the
world over. It contains truth more
compelling and more thrilling than
any recorded in the annals Of men, a
truth that responds to the ancient
query: IF a man die. shall he live
again?" So mighty is this truth that
upon 1t a great institution has risen
known as the Christian church, and
so strong Is the conviction concerning
it that the greatest exponent of the
resurrection, st. Paul, declares: If
Christ be not risen. then is our
preaching vain, and your faith is also
vain." 1t was this conviction that
welded together a band of recreant
disciples, filling them with such per-
suasive power and courage that they
readily and gladly accepted martyr
dom as they prosecuted their min
istry In the early days Of the Chris
tian era. Their message was keyed
to the word: If We then be risen
with Christ, seek those things which
are above" They resisted all oppo-
sition, overcame all obstacles, carried
their message to cities and institu-
tions that at the beginning were un-
responsive to their claims, and ulti.
mately planted and established the
new faith in Rome and Athens, until
ultimately 1t spread to every part of

Chairman Vinson Of the House
Naval Affairs Committee spoke for
many more Americans than himself
when he recently expressed his strong
conviction that the old frigates Con-
stellation and Constitution should be
brought to the Capital of the Nation
for permanent preservation as naval
relics. Mr.. Wilson's statement, sup
ported by several members of his
committee, was made in connection
with the very worthy and proper
project to bring hither the Olympia,
Admiral Dewey's famous flagship in
the battle of Manila Bay, to be pre-
served as a memorial to veterans Of
the spanish-American War.

many Of her original guns and as
much of her original equipment as

President Cleveland's refusal to
make sweeping changes in the Gov
cl.v.,.rd .rd ernment personnel
CleVeiano anu upon taking office SO
Patronage. years ago caused
much criticism and
hard feeling on the part of many
Democrats. The Star of April II,
1885. prints the following:
There is considerable printed just
now about the dissatisfaction existing
in the Democratic party with President
Cleveland remarked prominent de-
partment official recently appointed,
From what I hear I think that such
dissatisfaction exists. 1t is the talk
of the hotels and of the groups of
politicians who are apt, in lieu Of
something more exciting, to define
program which the President should
follow. Mr.. Cleveland. however, has
disappointed all predictions of this
character and pursued course which
Is not according to the rules and
regulations of modern politics. The
consequence is that evil consequences
are predicted and the ruin and defeat
of the Democratic party anticipated.
But is is just as we'll to consider who
these prophets of evil are before at
taching any great importance to what
they say. For the most part they are
played-out politicians and members
of Congress who have been left by
their constituents. Having lost the
support Of their people at home, they
want the general Government to take
care Of them. The President has re.
fused to do this and they vow ven!
geance. They say that the President
will hear from the country when they
go home and tell their people how
they have been treated. The pos
sibility of the people not taking much
interest in their individual fortunes
seems not to be considered. 1 think.
judging from what I know of the
temper Of the people in my district In
regard to retired politicians. that they
will answer such complaints by say
ing: You have been in ofice for
some years, enjoying the salary and
the emoluments; don't you think that
some one else ought to have q showT
That will be the answer of the people
in my opinion. A dead politician In
America is beyond the help of a gall
vanic battery when it comes to d
question Of resurrection. He Is dead
sure enough. as they say In the South.
While discarding the dead timber;
the President. in making his appoint.
ments, has surprised every one by
the excellence of his selections. He
has found new men and good men.
and the country generally can find no
fault with them. He has made NO
mistakes so far and If he continues the
opposition which might be engendered
by the disappointments of the regular
politicians will find no opportunity
for crystai1ng. He will not only
keep the Democratic party together
but gather in the independents, and
the party will grow In strength Ss

RENEWAL
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D., IL. D, Del.
Bishop Of Washington.

the world, civilized and uncivilized.
Every cathedral and temple, every
church in city and hamlet through
out the world afiirms its faith In Him
who declared: Because I live, ye
shall live also"
No recorded fact in history has SO
affected the thought and inspired the
reverent obedience of men as that
which the Easter message proclaims.
It must be ever identified in our minds
with the renewal which each recur-
ring Spring proclairns, that "the Win
ter Is past, the flowers appear on the
earth" and "the time OF the singing
of birds is come; this Is in perfect
consonance with the message Of
Easter. 1t Is impossible adequately
to express in any form Of words the
hopes and expectations which Easter
seeks to interpret. Our thoughts run
beyond theological systems, creeds
and formulae, and each one, accord
ing to his needs and experiences, ap-
plies the message Of that flrst Easter
morning to his own life and the inti-
mate incidents Of his own household.
Quite apart from the glowing
church services with their triumphant
HYMNS and anthems, that command
the greatest response Of any through
out the year: quite apart from the en-
thusiasm and the spirit Of praise
which they generate. 1t is the per-
sonal appropriation Of the Easter
message to our personal needs and
problems that makes it the most pre-
cious and refreshing of all the beliefs
we hold.
Renewal is our search from youth
to old age. To feel that the spent
forces and energies of life can be
renewed and that when the shadows
lengthen and the evening comes we
can be assured of another and eternal
Springtime, where disappointment,
weakness and sorrow shall be no more,
Is to give to life here and now its
greatest refreshment and its supremest
comfort.
"Lo, the Winter is past; the flowers
appear on the earth; the time Of the
singing of birds is come"
