EASTER i There came to this of f ice yesterday, from a valued friend, an Easter card, the words of which shall suffice for the Easter editorial. 1 It is brief. It is in few words. . But it tells in the few words the whole story. Could you do it better, in a column, or a page? Trje following is the printed matter on the card: ; "Easter marks the most important milestone in man: upward progress. It signifies the resuscitation of nature and the perpetuation of the spirit of man. It opens to man a new neaven,-and it promises to make for him a new earth. The day appeals to the pietist and the naturalist,4 the scientist and the man who lives in the realm of the spirit. It rests upon the material universe, and it elevates man toward God," TOR WAYS THAT ARE DARK AND TRICKS THAT ; . . . ARE VAIN," A LA BRET H ARTE f There are reasons' to believe the appeal of Eugene Chen foreign minister of .the Nationalist governmnt in China, to the American people, ; mentioned in this column yesterday morning, is a gesture ; for home- consumption partly; "words uttered to f save his facet am tmr his own people---. r And here is a scrap of history to prove the point: j 0. N. Denny, born in Ohio fri 18y, crossed the plains in 1S52; settled with his parents hear - Lebanon; educated at VViIlamettunivereit0 to ptkfticeTsiw; 1862relecfed police Judge of Portland 1871 and 1873 (in 1875 .waa appointed ' collector of interna) revenue. Was appointed consul at Tient sin, 'China, in ,1877, j and in 1879 consul general to China, resident at Shanghai Served in the. Oregon legislature before going to China. -He introduced the Mongolian pheasants in Cregori in 1881 or 82; turned loose on the bid home place in Linn county, sent to his brother there. - After serving his own country, he was chosen royal advisor of the king of Corea. Returning home, Mr. Denny bought a farm about a mile east of La Fayette, and died there. His widow, the writer believes, atill lives in Portland- " "fc ' ' I i.?. So much of biography for an Oregon. man who had a re markable career. " "V": - - During the late eighties and early nineties, Judge Denny yisited Salem frequently. He had many interesting things to telL He" related numerous incidents of the career of Li Hung Chang, the; great viceroy of China, who swayed .the millions of that country for so long. General Grant, in his trip around the world at the close of his second term as presi dent, said the -most remarkable man he met, and the wisest and most learned, was Li Hung Chang. i Mry Denny, told in his closing years oT ll.a Trny e!d Ii Hung Chang used to speak xy the yamen (senate) of that then empire. He would literally froth at. the mouth, as -he abused the "foreign devils" who were desecrating the graves of their ancestors byjjuilding railroads Over, them, and seek ing to introduce such devilish devices as the telegraph wires into the Celestial Empire ' ' " t ' ' i And, all the time, Mr. Deiiny knew Li Hung Chang be lieved the only thing to save China was the inventions "of Western civilization; the only thing to prevent the recurring famines sweeping of f many millions ; the Only thing to .make the teeming life of that country safe" and endurable to hun dreds of millions j . ? " - ' . . i . j But Li Hung : Charig would have "lost face;' would have been stripped of his poeri 'excepting 'for his appeals to the prejudices of vhis people"; and he wanted to serve them. 1 He wss Jable to serve them; ? Though the denoument of the "Boxer rebellion plagued his spirit after he was in his grave, if the shades of the departed are so plagued. ; But Li Hung Chang served his day, and generation, and there was as much progress Jn China as any man could have allowed, through the mystic maze pf Oriental politics : vw' i ? And in much the same way Eugene Chen, Harvard. grad uate, i3 striving to serve his peopled He knows Western civilization ; but he knows his own peopie.1 He knows, and men like him in "China know, . theAmericah.: tni'ssionaries 'oUid' the Y. JXi C A. forces have only thgood of China at liaart-- v But there is still the unreasoning prejudice against the "foreign devils.", China 3 very old. . Its, traditions ! are very Icr. Its prejudices are very deep, j Its vast millions are in ths ir.ass very ir.crant; and more superstitious. " "For ways that are dark and 'tricks that are vain, the heathen Chinee is peculiar' wrote Bret Harte. ' : - lVe have rolitical ; demasosuei in osr own country. vBut face; even to save his head from being put on a pole for the delectation of the populace. So let us not condemn too much Eugene Chen and his kind in China. They are, playing difficult parts. They are literally playing with fire. , .I!, ryj.-. .. j ' E. IL IIARRIMAN : A' message, dated today, from Boise, Idaho; carries the following "words.:.. ,. ; .). " y . "As Boise's , bUs, today .ring; out the message of Easter, four of tHem, great, mellow-voiced bells in the Boise Station tower, ring also in' remembranoe of a man. ' i ' : - - v - T i "At ten o'clock the. morning air will vibrate for the first time to the melodious peal of the Harriman Bells, erected in the honor of E. H. Harriman, perhaps the greatest builder of railroads of all time. ( The bells are mounted in the new Union Pacific station at Boise". Weighing more than two tons, toned and fashioned by the experts of the Meenely Bells com pany of New York, these bells are the anonymous gift of a lifelong friend of the famous genius of railroads. As the bells ring for the first time a bronze memorial tablet in the station will be unveiled. . It reads: 1 ; " The bells in this tower were given by a friend in honor of Edward Henry. Harriman, Of all the great builders, the famous doers of things' in this' busy world, none more, ably and manf ully did hw appointed, work.' "H. V. Piatt, general manager of the Oregon Short Line unit of the Union Pacific system, -representing President Carl R. Gray of the Union Pacific, will unveil the memorial tablet." The largest single real estate transfer in the history of Salem was consummated yesterday, in the sale of the South ern Pacific block to the Valley Motor company. The price was about $150,000. It is worth the money. The purchasers will make good use of it, to the benefit of all Salem. But that will not long remain the largest single real estate transaction for Salem. t . NINE REASONS FOR GOING TO CHURCH GIVEN BY PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT 1. In this actual world, a churchless community, a com munity where men have abandoned and scoffed at or ignored their religious needs, is a community on the rapid down grade. ; ' 2. Church work fend church attendance mean the cultiva tion of the habit of feelinglsome responsibility for others 3. There are enough holidays for most of us. Sundays differ from other holidays in the fact that there are fifty-two of them every yeartherefore on Sundays go to church. 4. Yes, I know all the excuses.' I know that one can wor ship the Creator in a grove of trees, or by arunning brook, or in a man's own house just as well as in a church. But I also know as' a matter of cold fact the average man does not thus worship.. ' ' 'T: - . - 5. He may not hear a -good sermon at church.
