The success of statewide prohibition In the West and South has led temperance people1to think that In two years there should be a na­ tionwide amendment submitted. Most every Southern state as well as those In the ‘West, with one or two excep­ tions, would return a heavy' majority lor prohibition.

In fact our election legislation needs re­ vision, As It stands the political par­ ty in power can conduct elections from a selfish standpoint, There is more authority centered in the secretary of state than with the governor and if ■the recent election means anything there should be some changes that would permit court review of the sec­ retary o i state’s -decisions.

The reason’ for the custom surviving at Queen’s la, according to tradition, on account of a valorous deed perform­ ed centuries ago by a Queen’s scholar. He was walking in the fields studying his Aristotle when a wild boar rushed at him open mouthed, With great presence of mlpd tbe student crammed tbb book down the animal’s throat, and it was thus choked to death with philosophy; hence the survival of the hoar’s ■bead at the college o f .which -this bold scholar was a member. No fitter setting for a'ceremony that links up the twentieth century .with tbe past could be provided than the cloisters and dining hall of Queen’s college. Queen’s, whose foundation dates' back to 1340, was the college of the .Black Prince, Henry V., Cardinal’ Beaufort, Addison, Wycherley and many other famous men. The procession of the boar's bead is formed up at the buttery. -At its head walks the soloist, a former scholar of the college. Next comes, the boar’s head. This Is borne bn a silver salver Upon the shoulders of two stalwart servitors. The'great head presents a quaint and handsome appearance, be­ ing surmounted by a glittering and be- jeweled crown and decked with frills of glided bay and rosemary. Be­ tween the tusks is placed, a golden orange. Flags bearing the college arms and devices are fixed in the head. Immediately behind' tbe great dish >-omes the college Organist, wearing the brilliant robes of an Oxford doctor of music; nnd followed by his surptlced "hoir of men and boys. Meanwhile the provost of the col- ege. standing on the dais at the end if tbe hull in the midst of the princl- -iul guests, says a Latin grace, after vino!) the dinner call is sounded in he cloisters upon a trumpet. Then rith stately pomp tbe procession slow- c advances from the buttery, through he cloisters nnd Into the great dining i:\ll, and the soloist sings the proola- '•.atlott:' < -The boar's head In hand bear I, tledcckrd with hays and rosemary, tni’l t pray you. rny masters, be merry. Then the choir sings- in harmonious horns the curious old Latin carol: , Quot estiain convivlo. . Caput aprl defqro. Reddens laud&r Domino. By the time the carol Is finished the irocession has reached the daisynud he hoar’s bead Is deposited on the ilgh table. Then the provost, ,or, In, .Is absence, the senior official of the ollege who- is present, .removes the lags, which are used year* after year aid are of considerable antiquity, and •resents to each of the principal guests t portion■of the gilded evergreens. Vile remainder is eagerly scrambled «r by the otber giiesfcs. After this prelude the dinnerft served is ordinarily Nave that the most valu- tble and antique silver plate and pew- cr are used, special sauces ore served with the meats, and home brewed ala md queen’s own special beer, a liquor if great potency, are served-in tho ,-ahiable old tankards.

[By Frederic C. Howe, Commissioner Of Immigration, New York.] , Frederic. C, Howe, Director of the People’s Institute and Commissioner of Immigration, New York, made a, memorable speech before the Inter­ national Association of Motion Pic­ tures, recently, In the .light of the agitation that la now .going on throughout tbe country with regard to the censoring of motion pictures and since Mr. Howe once resided % Ohio In an official capacity, as State Senator end Tax Commissioner In the City of Cleveland, thus gaining a thorough knowledge o f politics and conditions In that State, ills remarks are Interesting. In part they are a* follows: “There are two type's of people In­ terested,, outside of the trade, in this Industry. There are those who would censor it very severely; a limited number, for there are a few people, strange to say, who still would sup­ press the motion picture show entire­ ly, just as they would suppress other fonnb of amusements . which .they don’t particularly want. It Is repre­ sented by the type that would stop the sale of newspapers on. Sunday, that would close the drug store. They want to suppress anything that they don’t like. But that group Is very small. Then,' there is a group that is very ,close to it, and which Is making the motion picture .a ,very circum­ scribed thing. “And there Is another group, very extreme, Who insist that there should be no censorship whatever; that the motion picture show- should be just as free as the press, as free as drama, and that there Is no justification of censorship of any hind. Now, per­ sonally, I have a good deal of sym­ pathy with the man who -has that View; It shows that a man has thought into the subject, who sees danger in official interference in the expression of art, of the theatre, who sees that the idea might he extended much, further, I have affioh more sympathy with a man who advocates no.censor­ ship than one who Is extremely severe in his censorship. ‘‘The Notional Board of Censorship was organised five years ago on. the assumption.' that there was a middle course, that there was some place for the disinterested public in connection with the motion, picture show, and i thttk they justify the organized. Board of Censorship; justify their view oh two grounds: One is thp large num­ ber o f children -that attend motion picture shews—and society has a right to protect Children even if it has no right to protect gfown-upt- and the second is the tact, that -there are one or two men In every town who do things to Injure the whole trade. The National Board is organ­ ized on the assumption that there should be some way to protect the community against these. ’’At one time the Federal Govern­ ment proposed to have a voice in this work of censorship. They wished to hare five commissioners, each of whom would receive a substantial salary and who would be permitted to appoint deputies. These commis­ sioners would have no right to con­ trol -the action of cities or states. There would Btlll be the question of State censorship and local censorship. I would be sorry to see the pa «sge of any Federal Censorship Bill, not only because I am connected with the National Board but also because my interest In this Whole subject Is the came.interest that I would have in a movement for the censorship of the free press,, for the censorship of the theatre, for the censorship ■of any other great means of education or art. Such censorship,* to my mind, Is fraught with great danger. There is the political danger, but that isn’t so serious to me as -the danger from cramping, from interefering with the freedom of this art, for wherever censorship has been established it has had the effect of paralysing men’s minds. * “ I think these dangers are over­ looked by & large part of Our people, especially by that group that goes to our State legislature; who were active In Washington before Congress, endeavoring to pass a measure that will limit, confine and make the mo­ tion picture show express not what It wants to express, but what'a group of people think it ought to express. And I think It is our business, If we believe In freedom, if we believe in this instrument, to bring It to the attention of Congress and State Leg­ islatures and City Legislatures that herd is one of the greatest agencies of happiness and education that this wonderful century has produced. My interest in the National Board of Censorship and my interest In this whole question, my Interest in seeing this great agency develop itself with just as much freedom as is consistent with one or two limitations mentioned It based on this fact.’* *. toton - . wr.awa; WfwNptHaf U m m i i tto was * » Nd brtfcrj;f& tbd 1 **lk*j?*» tea hai | t i n t VOgiii, a I rogue which to soma extent ] among u*. it is drunk as a spring medicine, but It is undeniably fragrant »nd sron to *om« up-to-date palates has a pleasing flavor.

LESSONTEXT—Mark 18:1-8;Matt. 88:11- 15. • GOLDEN TEXT—Why sssk ye tho liv­ ing among the dead? HS is not here, but Is risen.—Luke 24:8, 8. - The death of Christ made a pro­ found Impression, Luke 23:48, 49, Jo­ seph, who had been a secret disciple, obtained the body and gave it burial, Mark 15:42-47, la the lesson selected for today we have, first, Mark’s record of the discovery of the resurrection by tbe women, and, second, Matthew’s record of how his enemies, dealt with that fact, . I. The Resurrection Morn*'Mark 16:1-8. The Sabbath ended at sun­ down and the shops wore then opened. Mary Magdalene then purchased spices that they might anoint the dead body of Jesus, They may have paid, the tomb a visit late on Saturday, see Matt. 28:1 R. V, Starting the next morn, '-'while it was yet dark,” John 29:1, they came to the tomb to per­ form their lgst oervlce of gratitude and love. He had no need of this serv­ ice, Matt 16:21; 20:19; however, it was acceptable and they were reward­ ed by receiving tbe firet glimpse of the risen Lord. Women’s Love Genuine. ^ The reason they did not expect to Bee a risen Jesus was in their failure to listen to and to ponder' oh his words. The men also failed to com­ prehend the note of his resurrection which he so frequently sounded. In­ deed, the report of-these same women is by these men considered-“as idlq. tales,” Luke 24:11, The women ap­ pear in a better light than the men In .this 'story. The women, especially Mary Magdalene, loved much because; he had dohe' so much for them. The extent and the genuineness of their affection is found in that they went to the tomb to serve J obub when appar-' ently hope had fled and faith was blighted, I Cor. 13:8 R. V. Their visit, was the fulfillment of their ministry of love, yet It reveals the -darkness of their minds. This wais common to all of his followers. Approaching the tomb they are com fronted by a new difficulty—“Who Bhall roll away the stone?” The wards of verse tour, are significant—-“Look­ ing up, they see that the stone is rolled back,” Am, R. V. This undoubtedly refers to the situation of the tomb and their approach thereto, yet the fact remains that “looking up” most of out difficulties are removed. Lot us bs constantly “looking unto him.” . It has been, suggested that God roiled away tbe stone, not that Jesus might get out, hut rather that the women might'get in. Mary found two angels sitting, one at the head And one at, the foot, where the body had lain, John 20:11, 12, and the two disciples to whom abe reported found the linen doth and the napkin and “believed,” John 20:2-9,' The women were overwhelmed with perplexity and, like Fetor and John, “knew not the Scripture that he must rise again from the dead” The am gelio message, “He is risen; he Is not here,” was the'sounding forth of .a message as great and as-glorious as that sounded by the angels on the night of his birth, Such [experience and such knowledge- entails a definite burden of responsi­ bility, therefore tho logical message and command of verse seven, This la also in accord with the Savior’s last earthly measage, Mark 16:15; Matt, 28:18-20. It is natural for us to lin­ ger in silent meditation at the place of our greatest revelation or of. our deepest soul experiences, but these women are urged to “go quickly.” The message of salvation is too im­ portant to brook any delay. 8pread False Tale, II. The Watch at the 8epulcheiv Matt 27:62-66 and 28:11-15, Evident* ly tbe manner of bis death and his re­ ported prophecies as to the resurrec­ tion made an impression upon the ene­ mies of Jesus. This guard is an ex­ pression of tbe ultimate antagonism of the priests and rulers, As this, the mom of the first day of the week, ap­ proached the guard saw the vision of the angel and in its presence became as dead men, When later they had re­ covered they hastened into the city and reported to the priests the fact of the coming of the angel and that the stone, upon which the seal rested, bad been removed." Bribed, they spread abroad the tale that the disciples had stolen his body. The falseness of such a tale is evidenced by the fact that the rankest infidel has not the temerity to make such a claim today. The resurrection, as Paul affirms, is the declaration that JeSus is the Son of God. It is a vindication of hli supremacy and of the supremacy of the spiritual over the natural. We do well to emphABize his birth, and to dwell milch upon his death, yet both of these have no essential value apart from the resurrection. Apart from this ahd the cross is no more thah the tragic and awe-inspiring end of a life that failed. Connecting the cross With this demands that every thought­ ful man should study it carefully. The' resurrection demonstrates that ha finished the work of redemption.
