HAIL EASTER MORNING
It seems as if the Eastertide was a
particularly appropriate time for the
caroling out of our joy. The spring
has come, the birds are singing again
after the long winter of ice and snow,
and we mortals awake to joy again
with them. Let us see how the peo
ple of ancient times observed Easter.
“Carol,” the word which we use in
speaking of Easter music, means a
song of praise. betwreen a hymn and
a ballad, a song which was used first
to accompany a dance. One of the
most beautiful of these old carols
had its origin in the southwest part
of France, and is called “The Carol
of the Flowers.” Special and appro
priate services to this festal day will
be held in the churches of Cordova
tomorrow.
It is very beautiful, the spirit of
Easter in these ancient villages ad
jacent to Jerusalem, but it is the holy
City where the chief interest centers,
of course, for it is here that the three
great ceremonies of Holy week take
place—the Washing of the Feet on
Thursday at noon; Holy fire. Satur
day noon, and. Easter mass at mid
night, which concludes the prolonged
fast and ushers in Easter Sunday,
All the narrow, dirty alleys called
streets are thronged with multitudes
of adoring people, threading their way
toward the Church of the Holy Sepul
cher. Suddenly there is a wild clang
ing of bells, but after the first notes
one js unable to even discern them
above the roar of voices, the ceaseless
trampings, the grounding of muskets,
the whining of beggars, the cries of
the venders lined all along the walls
and the steps of the church with their
heads, glass bracelets, mother-of-pearl
rosaries, crosses of cedar, sacred pic
tures, sweetmeats, foods and syrups,
the marvels of which they are crying
to the heavens. Even money changers
are doing business as they did in the
courts of the temple. It is all more
like a fair than a portal to the holy of
holies. There are Arabs and Syrians,
patives from Lebanon, Damascus, He
bron and all the little villages we have
visited; there are Bedouins, Egypt
ians, English, Americans, Negroes,
Kabails, Copts and Turks. But the
latter is less domineering in hip fez
man or yore.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Maurice D. Leehey, Seattle attor
ney, and R. M. Semmes, outside traf
fic expert, are besieging the senate
commerce committee with arguments
favoring the Chamberlain bill which
would reorganize water transporta
tion for Alaska. Incidently Leehey
and^ Semmes are high-salaried offi
cials of the embryonic democratic
territorial shipping board which has
been operating an imaginary steam
ship line in Alaska since the last leg
islature.—Anchorage Times.
The Alaska Indians of Hydaburg
are stout champions of the Bureau of
Education and its methods. Under
i the direction of the teachers and of
ficers of the Bureau of Education, the
Natives of that place, like those of
other sections of Alaska, have devel
oped a modern little city—with a
complete municipal government with
stores, canneries, sawmill, ship yards
and other business institutions and a
newspaper.—Juneau Empire.
While there is nothing to suggest
brilliancy of thought in the first line
below, the second line in the old nurs
ery .jingle,
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocketful of rye,
shows not only unusual brilliancy of
thought but of sentiment as well.—
JDouglas News.
