Today the whole Christian world re joices and the fasting and sorrow of the Lenten season give place to songs of gladness and praise. The story that Is told from pulpits year after year never grows old, and today we will hear the same words and tho same touching tale of the crucifixion and resurrection, as eagerly and as willingly as If It were new and strange. Easter Is to the Christian man the embodiment of all happy thoughts, for It Is the anniver sary of the glory-crowned ascension of his Master. As such, It is a season of hope and comforting thoughts. The budding Bprlng and the signs of new life all around us emphasize and vivify the feelings that tho season awakens. Very few people probably realize that the date for the opening of the Colum bian Exposition at Chicago la near at hand. But four full weeks remain be fore the day will dawn which has long been anticipated by the projectors of the great fair. The arrival of the car avels Ptnta and Nina at Havana, the dally announcement of the receipt of Important exhibits, and the putting on of the finishing touches to the magnif icent buildings are all proofs that the final preparations for opening .are be ing made. People are asking each other the all absorbing question, "Are you going to the fair?" And many are rashly re plying thU they don't expect to. Some are hesitating about the expense, others think that the crowd will be annoying, and others appear to fear that the long Journey and the trouble of viewing the exhibits will Involve too much la bor. It may be said In reply to all the objections that people do not begin tc realise yet the stupendous proportion of the exposition nor what Is to b seen there. The world has been lali under contribution. Only a compara tlvely few people can visit the Old World, but when the Old World ex hibits are sent here, a very large num ber of people should go to see them even If they strain a point to do It. New and Old World products will be viewed side by side In Chicago, and the educational advantages of this are not comprehended or appreciated at this time. The reason why more people have not made up their minds to go to the fair Is because the marvelous ex tent and variety of the exposition is not understood. When a few returning pil grims from Chicago begin to tell of what they have seen, then the exodus to the City of the Plains will augment. People will go there If they have to walk. The visit will be remembered as long as life lasts, and the educational advantages will be Inestimable. Almoft every opponent of the gam bling license who has thus far ex pressed his opinion publicly has not fulled to exercise a considerable de gree of amateur legal knowledge, and to loudly protest against the ordinance, giving aa a foremost reason the state ment that the thing was in conflict with the state law and Illegal. We have gone to some pains to fortify our po sition on this question, and have se cured at considerable expense the opln- For the Next Thirty 'Dajs, To meet imperative demands, I will offer at such low prices on install ments, with easy payments, that Ion of tho best lawyers and Jurists In the state. In another column will be found a communication from Judge Raleigh Stott, of Portland, of the firm of Statt, Boise, & Stott, who rank; among the first members of the profes sion on the Pacific coast. This absolutely knocks away one of the chief arguments of the other side, and makes certain our statement that there is no illegality or conflict with the slate law on the part of the pro posed ordinance. It may be explained that there is no equivocation In the clause of the new charter concerning hn ordinance, but that Its terms state its meaning unmistakably. The New York Marine Journal con tains a very Interesting article on the loss of the Naronic, on the theory that she capsized. A Sandy Hook pilot re- peats a conversation he had with her commander, Captain Roberts, in which the latter,stated that the Naronic was the deepest rolling ship he had ever seen; that she had frequently rolled the ends of her bridge in the water, and, that he was going to recommend the owners to have her keels attached to her bilges, with a hope that It might steady her somewhat. It is supposed that the four thousand tons of freight on the Naronic may not have been well placed, especially that a forty-ton locomotive was placed on deck. The Marine Journal gives as Its Judgment that the Naronic "turned tur tle" on being struck by a heavy beam sea and thrown on her beam ends, Another heavy sea following would complete the work of capsizing her, after which she would very soon fill through the companion way, sky lights and ventilators. Under such conditions the weather boats might possibly be cleared by cutting the falls, which would account for their being Righted by the Coventry. It 1b not likely the boats could have cleared with crews, as at least one of them must have done to fix up the sea anchor, if the accident was a capsize. It is the accepted opinion of seamen that the City of Boston, of which no trace was ever found, capsized in a storm. Her cargo was chiefly bulk wheat which settles and then rolls with the ship. Thls is from the Oregonlan of yes terday: "The question of licensing gambling has thrown Astoria Into a fever. By amendment to the city charter at the last session of the legislature, the power to license this evil was conferred upon the city council, and now there is a hard fight over the question of exer cising the power. Whether an evil may best be treated by license, prohibition, regulation and restriction, or by being let alone entirely, Is always one of con ditions, varying with localities. Sensi ble men look upon evils that have their root In characteristics of human na ture, and have existed since the dawn t civilization, as calling for such treat- nent as will achieve the most practi cal results In minimizing their effects, For this reason they believe In pro hibition, license, restriction and letting i lone, according: to the nraetlcal out :ome of the polity as applied to the conditions as found to exist. Astoria may be trusted to settle this matter for herself. If the first decision prove to be wrong, it will no doubt be reversed." Here we have the opinion of a sen sible man, well expressed. An evil like gambling muBt be governed by lo cal conditions and not by a code of morality that never bends or deals with live Issues. The New York World, leader of the democratic circulation boomers whose name Is legion throughout this country says: "The bill before the legislature mak ing it a misdemeanor for proprietors of newspapers to publish false statements of their circulation strikes directly at an evil of which the public is the vic tim. If the bill is enacted Into law the evil will cease," 1 Not at all. Those who have been most elaborately fraudulent will go on with their protestations and multiply ing and Intensifying affidavits. The law is a freak and has no object, unless some one who has swollen his circula tion by the usual blow-hard means over sensational methods, thinks he con catch some esteemed contemporary In the Indulgence of a passion for perjury. The majority of newspapers of this class ar very much alike concerning! circulation. They are aa particular YOU CAN HAVE A HOME IN about that as ladles are concerning their age, and as conscientious In not telling the whole truth about it. How ever, It Is well known to the people at large that the Journals whose testimony from the perjury department Is most flaunted are not those suspected of the greatest popular power. The Martin bill, If It becomes a law will offer an opening for official interference with newspapers. It Is a form of censorship, and while It Is more likely to place a premium on false swearing than to abolish it, the consequences of arrang ing for official contact with counting room secrets may not be agreeable; and If anything Is made of the law if It should become a law It will be at first an offensive and presently an Intolerable Innovation.
