The joy of the Eastertide is to the Christian the joy cf the empty tomb and a risen, livi fering life, and life abundant— Tt is the joy of the promise of life everlasting, and reunion with loved ones from whose tombs the ston too, shall be rolled away! But the joy of Easte: Christianity itself. It mocks the narrow confine: religious creed. It comes on dancing feet, arn outstretched and teeming with the gifts from n tur cornucopia, and says ster is for you and you and you, whate believe, whatever you fear, whatever you ye: and whatever is your joy!” For Easter is really the paean ef all the children of the earth to the Sun God.

The secretary of the treasury had guessed that the March receipts would reach $400,000,000, second stab of $420,000,000 was still too low. The third guess appears to be about $450,000,000. If the last guess matures, and, according t> the way the money is pouring in it should, receipts from this source for the current fiscal year should go well above $1,800,- 000,000. Receipts for the fiscal year cf 1925 were $1,880,- 000,000, and that may be somewhere near the figure for this year. Mr. Mellon was a little too bearish on American prosperity. During the recent debt negotiations, says Mellon, it was found that many peasants in one of the small- er countries were living on about $31 a year. It is up to America to increase that standard of living so American ships can carry a bit mcre cargo when making for those ports. The way to do this, Mel- lon believes, is by helping the foreign nations to get on their feet. The present debt settlements, he says, are the best that could be obtained, short of force, and should be pressed “firmly but gently.” Mellon pleads for common sense,’ nct sentiment in the settlements. He likens the United States to the most important creditor of an embarrassed firm. It is impossible to get more than the debtor can pay. New capital is a matter for our private capitalists and investors to decide upon, not the government. The secretary, as head of the Mellon banks in Pittsburgh, which have stood back of many an ap- parently doubtful enterprise that panned out won- derfully well—aluminum for example—-knows where- of he speaks. And a few debts to settle might be good little re- minders for Europe thet beete was a war recently.

Editorial Comment Bad Examples (William Allen White in the Emporia Gazette) Our friends, the wets, are’ exulting over the fact that Washington drank hard liquor and left a recipe for beer. Washington did not live m an industrial age, crowded and complex. He lived in the time of an individualistic civilization where a man could do largely as he pleased without much affecting his neighbor, To cite Washington’s example on the beeze question now is like citing David's exam- ple on marital fidelity. David, the sweet singer of Israel, was considerable of an old bat. Students of the Bible may remember that he went upon the roof of his palace one day and saw a lady taking a bath, grabbed her, sent her husband out into battle to bz killed, and put a check on her, No. B. 32, of his wives. and concubin without losing any standing in the community. jd also had other marital irregu- Jarities, rather without number. But one would hardly in our present civilization hold up David as a reason why American marriage laws of 1926 shoul) be modified, to permit light loves and leers! The domestic affairs of Jacob were also highly irregular, and so were those of a lot cf the Biblical characters, which is no reason why the parallel is to be carried out today. Lincoln, as” young man, worked in a grocery store where they sold liquor, which is no reason for re-establishing the saloons. Benjamin Franklin had children withcut benefit of clergy, which is no reason why the free lovers should try to break down the present American home. The whole business of trying to prove that booze is a good thing for humanity, by citing the fact that good and noble persons, living in a different civ- ilization, under different environment, held it in high esteem, is foolish, bad logic, which should de- ceive no one. Times change and men change with them, and with changing times and men must come changing customs in the world. Outrage in Washington (Chicago Tribune) George L. Cassidy was arrested as he was about to enter the house representatives office building in Washington. He carried a brief case which he dropped when a policeman confronted him. It broke and ran, He also did, but was overtaken. He was intact, but the old Scotch wasn't. Mr. Cassidy has been well known as the, “man with the green hat” and was a frequent visitor in the ‘offices of the congressmen, who are reported to be highly indignant. The incident is regarded as a distinct breach of faith. When, it is inquired, did the District of Columbia come under the Vol- stead act? It is true that some time ago’a con- gressman was shot accidentally by a stupid prchi- dition officer who was shooting at a bootlegger, but although many congressmen were irritated by the incident they were placated by the reflection that after all the bootlegger wasn’t the victim of the outrage. The congressman's bootlegger is covered by the congressional immunity from arrest, but Mr. Cas- , stopped at the very. door of sanctuary.

Nan's eyelids, as if weighted with pain, dropped before his look of chaliénge. When they lifted again the eyes were dark and calm. “I was thinking whether I'd put her in the blue room or the pink room.” Her voice was even. And the tone was almost banter as she added: “The worries of a hostess, you know.” “Nani” J. B.'s voice caroled his relief that there was to be no acene after all. “You're a girl in a mil- lion!” She allowed the faintest suspi- clon of irony to accent her hysteria. “Unless you want her to have my room.” Then J.
