The first reasonwould expose private business to the curi­ osity of everyone, and second that it is socialistic. W% see the Urgent deed of. stringent legislation to bring out" personal property to produce the necessary revenue under the one per cent law, but .we doubt the result being acquired under the pro* posed tax law without subjecting bankers, manufacturers, and- others to a test that will drive money and investments out of the state. The ■best plan wo have heard proposed I b to empower the cou ity auditor to place all building and loan associa- tions, trust companies, savings or­ ganizations and the like on the tax .duplicate for a lump sum equal to the average amount of the daily de­ posit for the year. This„ would re- . 11eye the depositor from the trouble of returning his money to -the as­ sessor. and also save many from making a false statement as to their return. Another proposition that has merit and will return a different class of security for taxation is to require every unsecured personal note by mortgage to b e , stamped each year by the .assessor before collection can be made. This too would enlarge the tax duplicate and injure no one. The statements of different financial institutions in every community in the state shows greater deposits than jwo returned for taxation. ■would wages offer? Morality can- I not ba legislated into people nor can . it be injected by tlje proposed mini- } mum wage law. The statement o i a j Chicago amusement proprietor that i tlie passage of &wageJawfor women (such as is proposed iu that state ; would increase his business and that i of his follower about settles the \ question. Women are entitled to a |living wage- Just so with men but i when it comss to making the mini? mum |l*as Is proposed in Illinois,' then women will loose their posi­ tions and men will fill their places. The public must also bear itt mind that double wages m department stores, factories, etc., moans more expense in the manufacture, and marketing of goods that always has been and always will be paid by the consumer. At the present.time the minimum wage agitation is due largely to politicians that have found a popular subject to occupy the public mind. PURCHASED U N SHOP. We hear more or less criticism ol t ‘ie attitude of Gov. Cox on questions -Tiow.up for. consideration in the leg­ islature, The Herald has no defense -to offer in behalf of the Governor in a political way. But we do say that ' so far all cl” Uci,sm is unjust. The Governor is charged with building a machine' with the liquor interests on the license question. Who made, the Governor’s action possible? Was it not the constitutional con­ vention? Was not the work of the convention endorsed by.the people? Did not the Governor take the stump in behalf of amendments? Did he not -pledge himself in his. campaign that his best efforts would bn mads to enact legislation in ac­ cordance with the work o f the con­ vention? To date Governor Cox is within the..hounds of his party plat­ s' form and what h» promised the peo pie in the constitutional convention campaign. The dear public has no •grounds, for faultfinding with Mr. Cox. The time to stop some of the legislation that is being fostered now was in the defeat of constitu­ tional amendments. Greene county did her share in turning down the amendments regardless oil the fact that her .rainbow chasing delegate stump the state and advocated their adoption. Greene county did give a second-hand endorsement of this delegate’ s action in placing an ex­ ponent of such heresy in congress. As we live under a government of the majority wo c-nnot complain because a few office borders were shrewd enough to know what this majority waved, whether it was ^ right or,not, and gavelT to them.

The politicians have already tak­ en advantage of the minimum wage •law and are working over-time in the hope of getting closer to the peo- 'pie. It is interesting to note the various views of social settlement workers, merchants, manufacturers, ministers and leaders of all reform organizations over .this question, But Of *11 the evidence produced little has been offered to show that the fallen woman would have lived a different life had her wages been increased. Occasionally we find . such a person hut the general run have admitted that'their fall was due to the environment in early life. When a woman had decided to live a life of shame what inducement H.

A Voung bride who went to house­ keeping in: her husband's old home was very much disappointed to find that his mother, with the very best Intentions in the world had bought a lot of modem furniture and put away tome really antique pieces, because the thought they were too out of date to please her hoy's city wife. The wife* however, In a quiet way found out that the new furniture had been purchased with tjie understand- said he and another fellow wentj^ff" In* that the bill be settled within six hotel where the fellow had "two sisters out a little way/-* . He said the day they had the firs! battle-he went to where they had been fighting, only b I x or sevei blocks from the Y . M. C. A. and the houses looked like selves and the ground and grass was covered with blood, one man leaning up againsf a door post with the blood Spurting out against ths door and running down over the sill, horses either walking or -lying every where on the streets all Shot to pieces. They hnulled the people away and buried them. He said one day he and an­ other fellow went to the American. Embassay together, he stayed but the'other fellow came back down street and when he got part of tl;t way back the two- parties opened fire for battlo and the fellow ran for his life, and while trying to get away a man was shot and fell,over against him anothe'r had half of hie bowels shot off and' just, as this fellow ran into a door another had his hand and. arm shot off and he dragged him inside and helped him. Ralph’ s room mate an American was wounded the first day of the fight and he said he had not heard, from him since, He .wrote the letter du such a hurry and sent it out by a private party that he did not give very much particulars. He did not say What he intended to do or whether be could do any thing but stay in for awhile. I do hope he will come back home. He Beamed to think it kind o f sport at first but when those women got killed and he had to stay in the house with them until after night camo on I guess tho funny part was all over as he has not hnd any appetite to eat since. months. She talked the matter over with her husband and his mother and Ihetf with the proprietor of the store, and, In the end, all the "modem" fur­ niture was taken back and the same amount traded out for several beauti­ ful rugs and the curtains for all the room* on the first floor of the pld house. Then the bride went to work and fixed np all the "old fashioned" furni­ ture which had been stored in the at­ tic. A dining table was found and four chairs to match. These she had scraped and sandpapered, then a filler applied, and, lastly, a good quality van- nlsh.

GOLDEN TEXT—“Now hath Christ fct-fii raised from the dead, tho first fruit* of then), that aro asleep,*’ J cor. 15-20. Some teachers may prefer the study of the lesson of Israel and Bebekah, Gen., 24, but because of its relative value and Its relation to the day we celebrate we prefer to consider the Easter lesson.' There aro five main points in the evidence St, .Mark presents to show us that Jesus was the True Son of G.od, (1) the testimony of John the Baptiser, 1:2-8; (2) the baptism ok Jesus, 1:9-11; (31 the transfiguration, 9:2-8; (4) the testimony of the cen- turlan at hiB crucifixion. 15; 3D, and (5) the testimony of the resurrection of JesuB, ’ Qt the ten different ap­ pearances, of our Lord, Mark records four, (a) to Mary, 16-9; (b) on the way to. Emmaus, 16:12,13; (c) In the upper room, 16:14, and (d) the ascen­ sion, 16:19, Purchased Spices. - Today we are to consider the first of these appearances!. From a care­ ful reading of this and the parallel accounts it is evident that as soon as the Sabbath day bad closed and the shops were opened these friends of Jesus purchased .spices thqt early the next morning they might annolnt his dead body1. M.ttthew- 2S:1 R. V. would indicate a possible earlier visit on Saturday, the Jewish. Sabbath. I. "In the morning of the first day of the week.” vv. 1-3. Starting while it Was yet dark (John 20:1) these faithful friends hurried on their way to the tomb,, It was Mary Magdalene who first reached the tomb, Matt 28:1, John 20:1, she who had received much (Luke 8:2) loved much. Nor was it the Virgin Mary that had the privilege of first beholding him (v. 9), It was the love of these women (v. l) that brought them to the tomli of him, “which Should have redeemed Israel" (Luke 24:21). That all the followers were shaken in faith the records clear­ ly suggest, yet love remained, hence, this desire to annolnt his body- This service though . Unnecessary (Matt, 16:21, 20i19) was, however, rewarded by the revelation 6f the, angelic mes­ senger*. Serious Question Raised. Pursuing their way a very.serious question, was raised (v* 3), but God had already removed the difficulty (v. 4), bo , too, if we will but be "looking up" fv. 4 R. V.), God will give us all necessary knowledge, (Jas. 1:5), and will, enableJia to overcome all difficul­ ties. The empty tomb is the standing rebuke for all skeptic*, if he be not risen let his enemies tell us where and what became of his body. The true basis o f' Christianity is in the risen Christ, see X Cor. i5:l-l8. Had the friends pondered well the ■words of Christ they would: not have Wasted their time and money seeking to annolnt a dead body. That wbb the Teason why tbe^ did not know and that Is why We do not know hiauy things we ought to know about our Lord. It is noticeable that none of the men were at the tomb. Entering the tomb they found, not his body, but a young man, and later two in dazzling apparel (Luke 23:4) stood beside them. When Mary re­ turned from the city, having told the news, the two angels were sitting one at the head and one at the feet of where the body had lain. John notes that the disciples found the napkin which had .bound his head lying fold­ ed In its original folds in a place by itself (John 20:7). In the midst of all their perplexity as to what had become of the body of him whom -they loved they failed to recall his words (Luke 9:22) and hence could Offer no solution of the difficulty. ‘ But the God of mercy sup­ plied their need' (Phil.- 4:19) and hence the glad triumphant message [ of the angel, "He Is risen; he 1 b not here; behold the place where they (enemies and friends) laid, him," v. 6. CL. Matt, 28;6. Then, as though to make their knowledge of Bervlpe. to others, he commands them to go and tell the disciples "and Peter" and that they are no more to- look for him there for "He gOeth before you into Galilee," v. 7. II, "And thsy went out quickly," vv. 8-11, It is well to reverence holy places and to remember sacred asso­ ciations, but God Is a spirit and. can­ not be localized. Of course the women would like to dwell at that., place in meditation, but having had revealed to thorn the fact, their duty was to publish it .abroad. A definite knowledge imposes a definite obliga­ tion of testimony. Out of death caine forth, life. The seeming defeat of Jesus was the' prelpde to the world's greatest vlc- tory—its moat astounding miracle. Living unto self means claiming your­ self for yourself. Living "unto him" means that in youfmlnd your spirit, your body, you show forth the risen* victorious, triumphant life. This Daster day is the day of all days to remember such words as these; Just as t am,.young, strong and free, To be the best that I can be, For truth, and righteousness and thee, Lord of my life, I come, Xcome. • Mart& :41V n-im« GOLDEN FLEECE FLOUR leads them *11- Try* 2S lb seek once and you will buy It always.
