ANOTHER EASTERTIDE.
Again we commemorate the resur-

and never has an Easter Sunday seeaq |
more of sorrow and woe than that of |
the year 1916. The idea of many in
celebration of the day means only
costly clothing, handsome flowers,
exquisite music, and eloquent ser-

Galilee among the sick, poor and mis- |

had come through the

may we see Him and know the full
wignificance of Easter Day.

Roosevelt at the great Republican

like the New York Tribune, which
stood like a Gibraltar against Mr.
Roosevelt four years ago, with lo,e
of country and party principles,
comes out for Col. Roosevelt, though
it hurts the paper’s pride to fgp, it
shows that these times demand a
rare man and such has Mr. Roosevelt
proven himself to be.
All over the country the feeling for °
Roosevelt is growing more and more
in his favor.
It looks as if the delegates from
this district to the National Republi-
can Convention ought to know that
the sentiment of a majority of the
Republican voters are for Roosevelt.

streams in which trout of larger size
are to be found.
The law provides that no device
except a single rod and line can be
'used by the fishermen and any
| Who find this law violated are re-
| quested to report to the state de
' partment.
