All that It means la the way of new life seems to be more fully realised than ever. Through all the stretch of centuries man has associated the vernal equinox with some more or less; vague conception of providential beneficence. The influence of the season is felt through all the sentient world, and even the insensible seems to partake of the revivifying effects of spring's return. During the winter months the Amer ican people have been more or less under the Influence of an untoward business situation. Industry and com merce have lagged, and enterprise and ambition have halted because of dis turbed conditions. Now the elements of uncertainty are passing away, and the Easter day cornea opportunely with its promise of better times for all. Industrial undertakings are feeling the stimulus of the new life that Is appar ent on all hands, and commerce Is 're newing ita activity in all directions. Men of affairs are not seeking the living among the dead, but with ambi tion to achieve more than ever, are setting their faces toward the future, and building more and more on the solid foundation of accumulated experi ence. All the world of the church rejoices this Easter tide in a renewal of faith. So does the world of commerce and industry rejoice in a renewal of teal and energy, and the glad spring festi val of Easter really means more than it ever did In its fullest senso, for it brings new life, national as well aa spiritual. THE PROGRESSIVE FILIPINOS. Despite all efforts to make a poli tical issue of the Philippine problem, the people of the archipelago have been making such progress in the last few years that the "problem," if it may be bo called, la making tor its own solu tion. Somehow the Filipinos have not been materially influenced by the anti ImperlallBt literature or by the ful mlnatlons of certain of our statesmen demanding for them immediate in dependence and self-government. They have been going along in their own way, taking advantage of the oppor tunities afforded for their education and advancement in every line of activity until they are showing marked improvement in their ability to handle their own affairs. The Army and Navy Journal re cently contained an elaborate article setting out the facta of Filipino prog ress. It shows that less than 10 per cent of the government and municipal employes of the Islands are Americans, while 98 percent of the police and constabulary are Filipinos. There are 982 Filipino mayors and nearly all of rtie municipal officers of the islands are natives. Last year 8,687 schools were maintained and the Filipino as sembly haa made provisions for largely increasing this number. A postal sys tem has been inaugurated throughout the archipelago and practically all of the employes are Filipinos. Returns show that the government of the prov inces and towns is being administered economically. The Filipinos have much to do yet to develop capacity for com plete self-government, but they are rapidly justifying the confidence and hopes of the president and his ad visers whoavo set out to instruct them in the first steps. A STEADILY OROWI1TQ MED. All the recent decisions of the United States supreme court with reference to railway rate regulation add Importance to the duties, devolv ing on the Interstate Commerce com mission And emphasize the steadily growing need of a reorganization of that body to bring it in closer touch with the people with whose Interests it is charged. Every time additional power la lodged in tho Interstate com mission and every time the exercise of concurrent power is denied the states, the more necessary does it be come that the commission be kept equally and fully accessible to the, shippers, to the railroads, and the.rall way employes and to the railway stock holders. Every enlargement of the business of the commission increases the physical impossibility for seven men to give adequate personal attention-to the vast and varied questions demanding their decision, and every delay and obstacle put in the way of prompt remedy for just grievances makes it more and more like a denial of justice. If legis lation recofo mended, by President Roosevelt ahd now pending Is enacted, at it eventually will be, permitting traffic agreements when duly author ized by the commission, this condition of affairs growing out of the multlr pllcity of duties imposed on the Inter state Commerce commission will be come still more obstructive to satisfac tory results. The Bee has several times pointed what In Its Judgment is the most feas ible way to give the desired relief. It is by reorganizing the Interstate com mission bo as to make it an appellate and supervisory tribunal with subordi nate commisslous corresponding to geographical traffic divisions somewhat almllar In arrangement to the judicial circuits from which appeal lies to the supreme court. When the powers now lodged with the Interstate Com merce commission may 'be invoked near at home without undue expense and with assurance of epeedy response, no matter where the individual com plaint may happen to be. many of the objections to federal regulation which now s'eem serious will disappear and co-operation with state authorities will be far 'more practicable, because the chances of conflict will be fewer. Immense gains have been made by the people through their struggle of the last few years for government con trol of railroads and reasonable rate regulation. What baa been gained will appear much more substantial when the machinery of control and regula tion ia readjusted by being brought to our doors rather than kept at a dis tance at the national capital. THE irer FOB TATT. It Is now assured that . William Howard Taft will have the practically unanimous support of all the delegates from the west to the Chicago conven tion. Every state west of the Mississippi that has spoken bo far has spoken with emphasis for the big war Becretary and, with the exception of two districts in Missouri, which are contested, not a single delegate has been commis sioned by the republicans from any transmisslsslppl territory for any other candidate. Mr. Taft already has, with the exception noted, the Bolld support of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota six states which constitute the core of the party In the middle west. Reports from other further, western states in dicate that their delegations, too, will voice the same sentiment, making cer tain a united west behind their pre ferred candidate as against a divided east In which Taft will have the large preponderance. This situation in the west is sig nificant of the firm adherence of west ern republicanism to the distinctive Roosevelt policies, coupled with a de termination to insist upon the man, as a successor to President Roosevelt, who is most to be relied upon to con tinue along the same lines. It indicates, furthermore, a refusal to be turned aside by any pretext however plausi ble. The original plan of the antl Roosevelt allies was to deprive Taft of western support by encouraging La Follette, who set up claim to a sub stantial following in this section. Un able to make headway with La Fol lette, the next move was to revive the third-term talk, which proved equally delusive. With the Taft Instructions by Minnesota last week, those back of this maneuver seem to have reached their final limit and the prospects are that no further systematic opposition to Taft will be met with in any trans misslsslppl state." With the solid west behind him at Chicago nothing short of a complete political upheaval can stop the nomi nation of Mr. Taft v MRS. ROOHEVELT8 MARKET BASKET. Yt hile the society leaders at Wash ington were discussing the report from uerun taat tne objection to Dr. David Jayne Hill as American ambassador was based largely on the fact that Mrs. Hill was "too domestic" to shine in the society of the German capital and wbb actually in the habit of going to market and carrying her own basket, Mrs. Roosevelt, unintentionally, no aoupt, was furnishing a rebuke to those superlatively fastidious folks who blush at the thought of buying poultry and greens from a vulgar tradesman. The president's wife has been enjoy ing a vacation with her children on board the Mayflower in southern waters. According to dispatches from New Orleans, Mrs. Roosevelt arose early the other morning, slipped Into a street costume and went ashore to do the marketing. She carried a big hamper basket and filled It with green vegetables and fresh sea food bought from the provision dealers in the French quarters. She lugged the load of eatables back to the vessel, without giving observers a hint that the service she had performed was degrading or menial. As a matter of fact, she seemed to take pleasure in the task and, brought a sharp appetite to the breakfast secured through her efforts. without a thought of shoulder-shrugging that might be caused in the parlors at Berlin and Washington by her plebeian conduct Royalty and courtiers may never learn the lesson, but it is well that Americans should not forget that use ful service is never menial. There should be no surprise that Mrs. Roose velt should do her own marketing. Like other American housewives, she doubtless knows that she can do her marketing better than any one else and finds pleasure and satisfaction in the service. CAPITAL A' RESERVE. . The Wall Street Journal estimates that fully $300,000,000 are locked up in this country in the holdings of cot ton, wheat and coffee alone, while the value of other cereala In the hands of farmers will increase that total by at least another $100,000,000. The figures illustrate again the re sourcefulness of the American (arms. Reports from London and other foreign markets show that the visible supply of wheat and food cereals is being diminished rapidly. Argentina, which has been cutting considerable figure in the European markets, has disposed of more than SO per cent of lta surplus wheat and corn crops and the demands of foreign nations for the next tew months will have to be supplied by the United States and Canada. It is esti mated that this country has fully $100,000,000 worth of wheat stiy available for export and Canada about half that much. These reserve stocks furnish assur ance that the Americas farmer with wheat or corn in the bin will have no difficulty aecurlng all , the money needed to carry him through to the harvest of the present year's crops. The marketing of the reserve supply win also furnish business for the rail ways and should do much toward the restoration of normal business and in dustrial conditions. THE f LOWERS Or EASTER. One of the rules of the famous Grid iron club is that flowers that decorate the tables at the dinners of the club are to be spared by the guests, to be afterward sent to the child's hospital, to brighten the lives of the little ones in that institution. It has been sug gested that the happiness among the poor and sick might be materially In creased by the exercise of a little of the Gridiron brand of thoughtfulness at Easter time. Today the churches of the city will be lavishly decorated with floral em blems and thousands of homes will be made brighter by the presence of flowers that will have served their purpose, but will still be fresh In their beauty and capable of spreading Joy and pleasure to those in the hospitals for the sick, homes for aged, asylums for the orphans and other institutions for the Bhelter of the unfortunate. No better disposition can be made of the Easter flowers than to send them, at the close of the Easter day, to cheer and brighten the Uvea of the poor and the sick. , A NA TIOXA L BE ADA CUE. Senator Guggenheim of Colorado takes a view of the recent industrial depressl6n and the prospect for the future that sounds good, even if it may not be convincing. In an inter view in the New York Times, the senator declares that we have "awak ened with a national headache, but are ready as a nation to take the pledge and lead hereafter a more healthy and saner life." He further voices belief that the country is re turning to normal business conditions and the improvement is not spasmodic, but steady, hopeful and progressive. Many of the big interests with which the Colorado senator Is identi fied suffered heavily In the recent financial depression, but he does not look" upon the panic as an altogether unmixed evil. He declares that it re sulted in a checking of extravagance, in which Americans have indebted to excess and that it has opened the eyes of the public to the folly of specula tive Investment in stocks and securi ties that have not stood the test of In vestigation. It has stopped the pro motion of wildcat schemes and forced the test of merit to be applied to all Investments offered to the public. The senator also contends that an abrupt return to prosperity in all its former dimensions would lead to the, same old extravagances and abuses, the eli mination . of wblchw&B ne of, sthe chief benefactions of the recent strin gency.' " . Reports from . industrial centers tend to confirm Senator Guggenheim's opinion. Manufacturing establishments are resuming operations and the de mand is growing, not rapidly, but nor mally, for all classes' of goods. . The banking institutions are beginning to extend credits for the legitimate ex pansion of business and industrial en terprises. On such a basis, when prosperity returns it will be booked for a long stay, but It is doubtful if the country will endorse Senator Gug genheim's prediction that the public will forever hereafter be less extrava gant, because that would be contrary to all past experience. The American people are naturally extravagant and no industrial setback ,has ever ef fected complete cure of the habit THE DIVORCE LAW.TASOLE. The appellate division of the su preme court of New York has Just ren dered. a decision which the Judges of the court frankly declare to be good law, but very bad justice, but which serves to emphasize the need of reform In legislation relating to divorces. It appears that the wife of a New York man left him five years ago and removed to Virginia, where she se cured a divorce, on grounds recognized by the Virginia statutes. Service on her husband was by publication, while the New , York law requires personal service. After a lapse of three years the woman remarried in Virginia and bore a child by the seconomarrlage. Then the first husband applied for a divorce in New York, setting up his former wife's relations under her sec ond marriage as a cause, and the New York court waa compelled to grant the husband a decree of divorce. No con tention is made that the woman's resi dence in Virginia was not proper and legal, nor that her divorce was not granted on grounds recognized by the Virginia laws. At the same time she Is placed in the position, in New York, of having been the wife of two men at the same time. The New York court went out of its way to declare that no blame rested on the woman, although the judges were compelled to declare her to be legally a bigamist. Such cases, which are by no means rare, emphasize the demand for some thing approaching uniformity of di vorce procedure in the various states. The conflicting state statutes on the subject make for an uncertain condi tion of society by which the blood of children is tainted, the titles to prop erty clouded and increase the dangers of the divorce evil. Some progress has been made by the American Bar association In securing certain uni form legislation on the question of di vorce in the different states, but the process is slow. The difficulty of se curing such state co-operation has di rected new attention to the advleabil ity of a national divorce law. The Washington Post, dlscusslug the condi tion from a layman's standpoint be lieves congress has the power under the constitution to regulate this sub ject. The first section of article iv of the constitution reads: Full faith and credit shall be given In each state to the public acta, records and Judicial proceedings of every other state. And the congress may by general laws prescribe the manner In which such acts, records and proceedings shall be prove, and the effect thereof. The Post contends that this section gives sufficient authority to congress to Insist by legislation that a judicial decree for divorce in one state must be accepted as valid and binding in the courts of every other. state. Whether such action by congress would solve the problem may be questioned, but public decency and the public morals demand some action to prevent a law ful marriage in one state from becom ing unlawful concubinage in another. Flowers have their seasons of popu larlty. The calla lily, which a few years ago was found in every florist's window and in most homes, has been out of fashion for some time, but has come back into renewed favor. Eas ter marks the opening of the season for the calla, one of the most serene and stately In the floral sisterhood. Governor Johnson says a political party should boldly tell the world what it believes. The trouble with the political party to which Governor Johnson belongs is that it cannot tell the public what it believes until It finds out for itself. What is a demo crat?
