Triumph Over Death Easter comes early this year but the spirit is the same as always, a reverence for the power of the Almighty, new wonder at the miracle of regeneration typified by the Resurrection. It is the most hopeful event of all the ecclesiastical year and, quite properly, it comes at a season when Mother Earth is shedding her winter garb, preparing to burgeon forth in the dress of spring. As a religious festival it ranks second only to the Birth of Christ in a manger, celebrated at Christmastime. One event marks the beginning of the process of Salvation. The other signals its triumphant completion. To those without faith Easter is not an understandable event. If a man believes that death ends everything, that there is no life beyond what we know, its observance is a mockery. But if he is imbued with even a faint spark of religious interest it becomes a glorious thing, a promise of personal resurrection. In this country most persons, regardless of creed, are believers in the religious idea. They may differ on details but the basic facts of Christian teaching are important in the average mind. And the Resurrection is the essence of Christian faith. Without the hope which it holds out there would be no religion, no churches, no creed except that which springs from fleshly considerations. ‘ In this country a man may be an agnostic if he wishes. There is no law against it. He may scoff at religion without running afoul of any statute. He may ignore the spirit of Christmas, Easter and other religious holidays. But a part of America’s greatness springs from the fact that such persons are the exceptions rather than the rule. At the bottom of nearly every heart there is belief in and respect for the teachings of Christ, the ideals which He presents to hu: manity, the things which He typifies. The Christian faith is a hard one to live up to. People find it difficult if not impossible to observe the Golden Rule. It is almost impossible to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” It is hard to deal justly, to follow the letter of Christian teaching. But belief in the efficacy of these things lives on. It finds manifestation on every hand. Millions feel in their inarticulate hearts the same urge as that which caused the supplicant to ery out, “I believe. O Lord help my unbelief.” And the one event in ecclesiastical history which sustains that faith and nourishes it through all adversity is the simple fact of the Resurrection. 5 Christ was a man of peace but He, alone, has been victorious over death. Is it any wonder that men follow Him? Heads Down in Kansas Kansas heads soon will be bowed low. Some in shame, others to stick a nose into 3.2 beer which is about to become legal in that state. 5 Thus ends one of the bravest chapters in the history of American reform, for Kansas was the bellwether in the drive for prohibition. It was there that Carrie Nation rose to fame. In the sunlit sunflower state the blue laws really reached their fullest flower. Kansas, of course, has had moments of backsliding. Even when prohibition was riding highest in the public esteem it was possible to slip around the corner and grab a drink at the Igcal bookstore. Kansans, so it is rumored, had little trouble getting “a little” when they needed it for social occasions. + That condition, in fact, is alleged to constitute the reason why the governor of our sister commonwealth signed the bill permitting the sale of beer. In Kansas, as elsewhere, the law ‘was a dead letter on the books. No one can quarrel with the idea of total abstinence from alcoholic drinks. They do no one any good. But neither can there be any disagreement about the undesirability of hypocrisy and _ Sham. There is no point to “kidding” the people into assuming that a condition exists when everyone knows that it is a legal fiction. | The backsliding of Kansas is an important chapter in the attempt to reform America. It sounds the deathknell of the first prohibition campaign. But make no mistake about it. ‘There will be others. If they have more of intelligence and the _ #ame old fervor they may be more successful. : Spanish Crisis Near | Really serious trouble may be expected at any time, now, ap a result of the Spanish situation. ; : Tf, as seéms to be the case, outside help no longer is given the insurgents under General Franco, they are doomed to early defeat. So far as America is concerned that is quite all right. What —' Spain is no business of ours. But what of Italy and ae 7 There is no doubting the fact that the two big Fascist mations have kept the revolution alive. They have not only ‘furnished money and munitions but thousands of soldiers, : ‘If, as seems probable, the Spanish loyalists get the upper , will Mussolini and Hitler leave their compatriots in Spain shift for themselves or will they attempt a rescue and a suc-| ‘en 'eessful culmination of the revolt by a tour de force? ° In the event they attempt to achieve the latter, what of nce? Will she permit a potential ally to be defeated and ringed about by Fascist nations? Will England, des- tely in need of the support of the Franco-Russian alliance, intain her neutrality or will she move to the aid of France? The questions may not seem important to us, 3,000 miles but they are vital to the peace of the world.’ And the ace of the world is something which still interests us greatly. Behied Scenes Washington With Supreme Court Revision Pre- posal Blockading All Other Impor- tant Legislation, It Looks as if Congress Will Be in Session All Summer and Perhaps on Inte ‘Winter. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Mar. 27.—Predictions that Congress will sit right through the summer and perhaps on into De- cember are based on the knowledge that there is a huge log jam of im- portant legislative proposals piling up behind the battlefront on which the Supreme Court issue takes precedence over everything else. Most bets are that the Roosevelt court plan won't come to a vote in the Senate before early May. It may come to a vote later than that if a major filibuster develops. Meanwhile, the hearings of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the bill are dragging more slowly than anyone expected. Congress marks time while the ad- ministration concentrates all its en- ergy on the attempt to persuade it to vote to put new justices onthe Su- preme Court. Many of the major legislative proposals hanging fire, it is believed, depend.on ‘a revamped Supreme Court for subsequent vali- dation. ee 8 Wants Showdown New Roosevelt is convinced by history that every President has to face & bitter struggle with the senate in his second term. He wants his big show- down now, ahead of everything else. His followers believe that if he can win the supreme court fight he will have nearly everything his own way after that, whereas if he loses he will no longer be able to dominate legis- lation. So for the anaes congress te! dawdling along with measures wi are mere chicken feed. Statutes and powers which would otherwise expire this year are being renewed, as in the case of the new neutrality law and the extension of the president's au- thority to renew reciprocal trade treaties. Special excise and “nuis- ance” taxes must be re-enacted be- fore July. Authority as to RFC loans, dollar devaluation and the $2,000,000 stabilization fund already have been extended. Roosevelt’s plan for drastic govern- ment reorganization was a huge sen- sation when it was proposed a few weeks ago. But no one has heard of it for at least a month, A joint con- committee on reorganiza- tion met once or twice and did noth- ing except sneer at the proposal that cabinet salaries be raised from $15,000 to $20,000, and other salaries for top Jobs proportionately. If Roosevelt wins his supreme court battle, reor- ganization will again be one of the big 1937 issues. And it will take up @ Great deal of time. + # * Farm Bill Ahead An administration bill is being pre- pared to provide for regulation of wages and hours. It probably will be tossed into the hopper at a hot point in the court fight, with warning to labor and any other interested parties that it’s just the kind of measure which the supreme court as now con- stituted can be expected to kill. A general major farm program is being rounded out. Congress is un- likely to adjourn without passing new laws for crop control, crop ingurance, and the ever-normal granary scheme, which Secretary Wallace says are im- possible so long as recent supreme court opinions stand. The preesnt soil conservation act is threatened, espe- cially in the South, where predictions of 20 cent cotton this fall—made by brokers who profit through handling volume—has caused to revert to old-time habits of planting all their land to cotton. % Still another big proposal is the one by which the administration intends to nibble at the farm tenancy problem —extending government credit and assistance to tenants in the hope that many of them can again have land of their own. es * 8 And Mere and More The Wagner-Steagall housing bill will require extensive hearings and debate, representing as it does a new government policy and formal federal entry into ‘a new field of activity. The administration has yet to make up its mind as to a future relief po- licy, and the amount of money re- quired for that. New federal power Policy may be expressed in legislation and the Social Security Act cries for amendment, It is also to tax foreign investments in the United States in such s way,as to get them). under control. Your correspondent is omitting « lot of things, too. It certainly does look like long, hot summer. One of several reasons Roosevelt will try to keep the boys in session until he gets nearly everything he wants is that the next session will come dur- ing an election year, when it’s neevr possible to keep congress tied to its - BIT OF HUMOR THEN Pillfuze—Were you bothered a great deal with your income tax statement 2 Jubb—No, I just figured it out that at the highest rate they could charge me the government would still owe me $100.
