ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER SIMAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE EASTER MORN'. “In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea.” On the morrow men remember Him. Then is commemorated the fact of the resurrection. The beauty of the lilies rests, a soft and fragrant bene- diction, upon the Easter ceremonial. No longer does man bow at the altars of Ostara when the spring- time wakens to life the sleeping flowers, but in reverence to One who gave to humankind a newer and clearer assurance of immortality. Ages before Golgotha men had witnessed the miracles of the changing seasons, the supreme miracle of the resurrection, Nature at the budding of the spring. But it was only dimly that our fore- bears visioned something of the truth, celebrating with joyous rites and festival the change from Nature's sleep to gud awakening. The early church, however, found it not difficult to present the fact and truth of the Resurrection without offending too much the formulas of pagan days. The church was wise enough to adopt and retain much of their ceremonial incident and vesture. So it was that entire peoples came to see the rolling away of the stone from the sepulchre and to hear sweet whisperings from the dim vast which lies beyond the margin of the tomb—came in time to realize wich serenity of soul that death hath no sting, the g e no victory. | Yonder in Palestine, mear 2,000 years ago, and| the dawn upproaches. There came to the tomb loving, sorrowful women. To woman, first of all mortal beings, came the splendor of the truth of humanity’s supreme revelation. Not great Caesar's imperial seal, nor the alert watchfulness of Pilate's soldiers, nor yet the venge- ful guardianship of His traducers and enemies, could interfere with or affect the will of the Infinite. “Behold, The Lord hath risen!” The glad paean sang first in the awed hearts of women, but was soon to reverberate and ring throughout the earth, through enduring ages. So came Faith into the world, leading by the hand her sweet sister, Hope, who still forever points the way to light beyond the evanishing dark. Chris- tian faith has given to the world the strong civilization of today—to abide so long as men shall be true to its teachings, promises and ideals. There is a new brightness throughout the Chris- Eastertide—many resurrections on this day take place in cold human hearts, resurrec- tions of faith and repentance and devotion to duty, perhaps long neglected. These are immortal blos- soms which mingle their fragrance with that, of the material blooms we place on sacred altars and in homes sanctified by faith and trust in the gondness of God.

The Case Against Tariffs. (Cincinnati wmnquirer.) In a very mild manner, but with a devastating array of facts, Dr. Sumner Slichter, of Harvard University, told a group of Cincinnati business men some things about tariffs Friday that ought to be more widely realized. Showing how a creditor na- tion such as the United States cannot expect to collect interest and principal on its vast invest- ments abroad save by receiving merchandise from foreign countries, he warned that only by decisive tariff reductions can our foreign trade be brought into balance. One point especially of Dr. Slichter’s address merits careful attention. To receive larger quan- tities of goods from abroad, he said, would not decrease in any way the purchasing power available | here for consumption of domestic products. We have great sums owing to us from abroad. We can take that money in goods, or we can write it off as a loss. If we accept goods, we send no money or goods abroad, but merely take goods in payment of debts. The purchasing power in this country is not affected, and still is used to buy the products of American farms and factories. i Dr. Slichter’s analysis of the sugar tariff is an excellent example of how we deceive ourselves in this question. We are not well fitted to raise sugar ourselves. By imposing a very high tariff, we have protected a feeble domestic industry, which exists only by importtaion of Mexican labor. We pay in import duties on sugar something like $125,000,000 a year to the Government. In excessive prices for sugar we pay another $90,000,000 to main- tain a domestic sugar industry which is not effi- cient compared with Cuba and other tropical countries. If we want a domestic sugar industry, Dr. Slichter points out, we could subsidize it by paying a direct bounty for production, and do so much more cheaply than through tariff protection. Sugar is but one of many commodities which we are protecting through tariffs at a great social loss. Indeed, there are duties on 250 commodities of which we produce less than 1 per cent of our needs. To impose duties on these commodities and raise their prices to the consumer, in order to protect infinitesimal industries, is a public policy with no justification whatever. Things seem to be evening up nicely. It is noted that some of the dry papers are taking beer ads.—(Jacksonville Times-Union.) JUDSON We Judith L Judith Dale knows that lher vand's law partuer, Morton Lampere, plans to wreci her old cmployer’s plans for the Rio Diablo dam, which were put fato Juditl’s hands for execution wpon the death of Big Tom Bevins, whose pet project it was. Judith has been left the Bevina fortune in trust, to be spent on the dam. But Norman, her husband, is torn by the belist that Judith should step out of the picture ; they have quar- reled, and now, ‘reconciled, have settled back to talk. Chapter 17 : NEW RIFT ,_ ~* HE meal over, dishes back in the kitchen, Norman found an old scarlet dressing gown, dug in its pockets for pipe and pouch, then filling and lighting the pipe sank into the divan. Judith, at a gestured invitation, curled into the circle of his free arm, wide eyes on the flames shoot- ing up through the oak logs. Out- side, twilight was moving in, a cold spring wind in its wake. The leaf- less arms of the nearest tree rubbed fretfully against the house, the fire crackled—"Happy?” inquired Nor- man, contentedly. “Perfectly.” “Wish this could go on forever.” he mused, “no more outside influ- ence. Sounds archaic, maybe, but I believe there’s a primitive need in every man for a home of his own; v’know, the kind of a need that forces him to go out and make good in business like—" “Like the caveman in the forest made good with his billy club?” in- quired Judith. “Judy, you're laughing at me.” “No I'm not. I'm just thinking how nice it is to be your particular woman, to say nothing of living in such a cave.” “I like this cave too,” he said, boyishly possessive. She knew he had had but little home life; as Clia had said, “Plenty of house and nobody in it.” He settled back again, and then into their peaceful moment came the whirr of the telephone. Judith, not wanting to listen, couldn’t help hearing a few words and was ready for something unpleasant by the time he returned. “Jude—" under the brave scarlet coat his shoulders were sagging. “I forgot to tell you. Lampere has called a meeting of stockholders and the board of diredtors for the company, tomorrow at three. He wants you there.” She nodded. She remembered dimly that Poppy Neville was giv- ing a one o'clock luncreon and she had promised to help. Would she have time to change? She shouldn’t go to such a meeting in a ruffled silk suit and Dolly Varden hat. “Judith,” Norman interrupted her thoughts, “I'd promised myself I wouldn’t discuss this Bevins mat- ter with you, but you're my wife and I can’t let you go to that meeting unprepared. I want you to know what other people know. “Judy-girl, 1 wonder if you real ized that Big Tom had been losing his mind during the last few months of his life; in fact that he had a serious brain affliction at the time he drew up that new will?” UDITH jumped from the encir- cling haven of her husband’s arm. “Norman,” she cried. “There, Judy, don’t take it like that. It was bound to be a shock to you, I know, but I thought it was better for me to tell you than some- one else.” “Norman,” time brokenly. “Yes dear, it probably came from sort of a belated sun-stroke. You remember how we suffered on that trip? Why, healthy as I am, there were times when I nearly went under. It seems Big Tom stood up while he was actually on the job. byt the moment he got back home where he could relax, the whole thing came down on him like a ton of brick.” “What do you mean?” “If you'll remember, Judy, he had a slight stroke the day after his re- turn. From then on he began to grow queer. Everybody in the legal department noticed . . . what's the matter?” Judith stood before him, eyes nar- rowed, body rigid with emotion. “So that’s what they’re saying!” she began in the low voice Norman had come to recognize as one of anger “the . . . the cads. Listen, Nor- man Dale, you go to L.ampere and tell him he's the lowest kind of a liar there is; the kind who will try to destroy the reputation of a man who can’t defend himself.” she repeated, this| by JEANNE BO ane AN “To reason, gladly, where fs {t?" Norman's dark eyes were glowing in the firelight, his chin had jutted forward with Scotch stubbornness —“you’ll admit he kept you work- ' all night the night after his stroke.

She felt exhausted. The quick exhilaration of anger had burned out, leaving her numb. Down to the west the full moon began its ascent blocked by the oak t before the window. Slowly it eased into view, seemingly climb ing from limb to limb. NUINAN would come up, they would talk it over and regret their flurry of temper. He would come up before the moon reached the limb with the queer hump. But it flattened its silver surface against the filigree of topmost boughs and sailed on into the clear blue, with no sound from below. Judith was asleep when Norman hair rumpled, eyes blinking even in the =oft glow of tle bed lamp, did appear. She didn’t see him stand and stare down at her, a baffled troubled look on his face. Even had she seen the look, she couldn’t have known how much like a child she appeared to the man. In deference to her new dignity as a matron she had let her hait grow and it lay spread in becoming ! digorder on her pillow. Her eyes were tear stained Her body, fuller now and health ily: pink, due to Delphy’'s untiring care, lay clad in maize yellow paja mas, one foot and one arm hanging over the edge of the bed. Carefully Norman moved them back, pulled the covers high, then went to the chair before the window. They spoke quietly at breakfast the apprehensive Delphy and Lige hoyering around like two solicitous black birds. “Shall I call at Neville’s for you?”" Norman asked as he was leaving. “No,” Judith answered, “as long as you belong to the tirm retained by the Bevins women, it would be less embarrassing for you if I come as Big Tom's stenographer, rather than your wife.” “Just as you say.” He kissed her and left, and Judith felt an unrea- soning desire to weep because he hadn’t insisted upon standing by her through the coming ordeal. Judith was afterwards to wonder how she managed to live through Poppy’s luncheon. Her beruffled frock of dark bluish green, and pert, | small hat, wen the hearty approval of Poppy’s guests. “Look as though you'd been clip- | ped from the top of a candy box,” one guest remarked. She thought of this later, for she hadn’t had time to rush home and change and was forced to attend the board meeting in her party frock, and there was small comfort in the smartness of her ensemble as she saw universal disapproval in the faces of the men gathered there. Even the courage inspired by Judge Morgan, who accompanied her, was dimmed by the sight of Mathile Bevins in deep mourning at one end of the table, flanked by Morton Lampere on one side and by her husband, Norman Dale. Preliminaries over, a meeting of the stockholders was called and Lampere, their elected chairman arose. “Mrs. Dale,” he began, “prior to your coming, the board of directors held a closed meeting. They came to a conclusion about a very vital matter and wish to lay it before you for a decision, are you ready to hear t?"
