Easter Sunday was a bright and pleasant da;- though not designed for Palm Beach suits or straw hats. The sui worked hard all day and the occasion had the setting for the happy day it was for most people.

to Hssist the republican party. Ha Is evidently one of those who, "hooks up” with uuytbiug which will make votes. He says ho let'll it because it was un-American but he no doubt knew uli about the principles of the organization before he was initiated. He is in bad now with both sides of the Klux and most of his own party. Its time to warm up another pitcher. Within the past week the state of Indiana has borrowed a million dollars from the highway and theft funds and placed a million dollar mortgage on the state fair grounds Talk about reduction of taxes while this condition exists is foolish except for the fact that the two cents a gallon tax and the Increased license fees on autos will produce enough money to help take care of the other losses. After all its taxes in whatever way you pay. Chicago will elect a new mayor tomorrow. The betting is four to one in favor of William E. Dever, democrat. to win. His principal opponent is Arthur C. Lueder, republican. Whoever wins the election means the end of the political power of Bill Thompson who for eight years has held a peculiar power over the windy city ;iud it is needless to say 1 the result will be satisfactory to the better class />t citizens there. Thompson has done much to injure the western metropolis and little to aid her and the public will welcome a change of administration. People travel across the stormy Atlantic and spend no end of money on European tours. Why? Largely because the European cities are refuted to have a certain romantic and imaginative “charm.” Yet this so called charm often lies in some very simple feature that can be developed anywhere. Many Yinerican cities and i towns have such features now. A recent writer in The American City, for instance, thinks that the charm of Paris lies largely in the beautiful .trees with which that famous city is

If itt people have been negligent in thia respect, they can plant quick growing varieties that will transform their town in a few years.

The chorus numbers were very difficult, but their melody and beauty were brought out in a pleasing manner. The three soloists, Mrs. William Schrock. Mr. Paul Sauer and Dr. Fred Patterson, all of them possessing rich and mellow voices sang their numbers with excellence of interpretation. Mrs. Schrock deserves especial mention because of her splendid rendition of Wildemeres ■ Thy Will Be Done.” Dr. Patterson, san. ”The Angel's Message,” by Loud and Mr. Sauer Peccra's “Gloria.” The quartet number, Excell's “Coah sider the Lilies,” by Mesdames Engeler and Schrock and Messrs. Engeler and Sauer, was very impressive. Perhaps the number which elicited the most favorable . response from the audience was a duet, Hughes. “Doubt No More”, sung by Mrs. Engeler and Mr. Sauer. Their voices blended beautifully in bringing the Easter-tide message to the hearers. Much of the success of the after-, noon s program was due to the work of Dr Patterson and Mrs. B. N.' Covert, the former as director of the chorus, and the latter, as organist. Both showed remarkable ability and interpretive insight in their reaper* tive roles. •. — H. J.
