At ¢his Easter season there will be much written and said appropriate to the occasion, But is not after all the greatest thing that can be said and the greatest tribute paid the words at the head of this article--*"He is Risen!" For the fact of the Ressurection trans- cends all theories about it. And if we are seized with the great truth that our Lord rose from the grave then we need not worry a great deal about what the theologions and the critics may say about it. And so on the morrow let us all devoutly and joyously attend our respective places of worship with this truth in our hearts and on our lips--"He is Risen !"--and may our lives be changed by the glorious victory over sin and death which Christ won for us by the way of the cross and the tomb, 'Because he lives, we shall live also." WHY NOT CLEAN THEM ALL UP? The police have made a good start in raid- ing a gambling joint in the downtown sec- tion of Oshawa, According to common report--and com- mon report is not always very far wrong-- there are a number of other similar places that have been operating without let or hindrance for a considerable time and it would seem to us that the police must know of these places or at any rate, could easily find out about them, Perhaps we may take it as already assured that the police department has commenced a campaign to clean up all of these "joints" and that from now on men who run crap games and other gambling houses are going to find it rather unhealthy to do business in Oshawa. We think the Chief and his men will have the support of all decent citizens in a drive of this kind, This newspaper will do its part by publish- ing without fear or favor the names of all keepers and also the names of all those "found in." This will be due notice to all not to take up our time asking for special favors if they happen to be among those present when their favorite gambling joint is raided. And by the way, while the Chief is about it, he might give a little attention to the handbook business which flourishes in Osh- awa, and which is conducted in so open a manner that even police constables should not be entirely ignorant of it, GERMANY SEEKS LEADERSHIP Germany is just as determined to estab- lish its leadership in Europe as it was be- fore 1914, but by commercial power instead of military conquest. Frank H. Simonds, the war correspondent and authority on international affairs, voices this view in an article written for the April issue of the Review of Reviews which analyzes the German situation, political and economic, a decade after the World War. "Nowhere in Europe today is there more impressive cvidence of a desire for peace and a will for international cooperation than in Germany," he declares after a first-hand study of conditions there. The Germans are completely committed to republican government and have so far put aside the idea of a return to monarchy that the recent birth anniversary of the former Kaiser passed without a popular manifestation favorable to the exiled mon- arch and only one considerable outburst of denunciation," he says, predicting that the coming elections will give republican ele- ments overwhelming control of the govern- ment. "I venture to forecast that in the next years, once the occupation of German soil js ended--oprovided there is mot too long a delay--the German nation will play a great, perhaps the greatest, role in organizing a new Europe based upon trade and commerce, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1928 within the current year, UNFATHOMED SECRETS & It is fortunate for the inhabitants of the earth that meteors, such as that which hit Siberia twenty years ago and was only dis- covered a few months ago, generally choose unsettled parts of the earth for landing fields. The Siberian meteor destroyed a forest fifteen miles in circumference, Had the visitor selected Oshawa as a final resting place more than a forest would have been wiped off the map and it would not have taken nineteen years for the world to dis- cover it. Doubtless the number of celestial visit- ors that have dropped into the sea far ex- ceeds the number that have hit the land, It is impossible to ascertain just where "fall- ing stars" make contact with mother earth when their landing place happens to be the bed of one of the oceans, So it is with earthquakes; but it is pos- sible to say positively that at least three out of every four of these disturbances occur on the sea floor, Some land quakes apparent- ly originate beneath the seas. The scientific world wants to know more about the bottom of the oceans and the ef- fect of earthquakes upon them, The ocean depths are both cradle and grave for earth movements, The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is of the opinion that a careful study of the sea floor would prove of the greatest possible value to seismologists. And the earth's last frontier--those regions many leagues under the sea--seem about to yield its secrets, There is a world-wide movement on foot for united action by scien- tific bodies to explore the depths, Bit of Verse AFTERWARDS When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay, And the May months flaps its glad green leaves like wings, Delicate-filmed as new-spun silk, will the neighbors say, "He was a man who used to notice such things?" If it be in the dusk when, like an eyelid's soundless blink, The dewfall-hawk comes shades to alight Upon the wind-warped upland thorn, a gazer may think, "To him this must have been a familiar sight." crossing the If I pass during some nocturnal blackness, mothy and warm, When the hedgehog travels furtively over the lawn. One may say, "He strove that such inno- cent creatures should come to no harm, But he could do little for them; and now he is gone." If, when Learing that I have been stilled at last, they stand at the door, Watching the full-starred heavens that winter sees, Will this thought rise on those who will meet my face no more, "He was one who had sn eye for such mysteries?" = And will apy say when my bell of quittance is heard in the gloom, And a crossing breeze cuts a pause in its outrollings, Till they rise again, as they were a new bells boom, "He hears it not now, but used to notice such things" 2 £5, "NP. Thomas Hardy What Others Say GETTING AT THE TRUTH (E. W. Howe's Monthly) It is often said the Lord hates a liar. 1 don't believe the Lord cares much about it. I think llars themselves started the story. I am always hearing liars abusing their bad habit. A NEW SCOTCH STORY (Karl K. Kitchen, in the N.Y. Even- ing World) Of the round half-dozen Scotch stories that I have heard in the last twenty-four hours, the one that tops them all is about a burly Scotch miter who entered a barber shop roaring drunk with his whippet un- der his arm. There were several customers wait- ing their turn in the single chair but the drunken miner said "I'm next" and they did not argue with him. He climbed 'into the chair and ordered the barber to shave him. The barber lathered his face, but the heat from the stove, coupled with the liquor, made the miner drowsy and his head dropped forward (in Scotland the barber chairs do not tip back as ours do here), making it im- possible for the barber to shave him. Three times the barber straight- ened up his head'to begin shaving but each time his chin dropped back to his chest. Finally the barber be- came annoyed. "If you can't hold up your head I can't shave you," he protested. "Then give me a haircut," said the burly miner. I'll admit the story about the Scotchman who took the piece of cheese off the apple pie which was served to his wife and made a sand- wich for himself is perhaps more true to form, but this miner story is the real thing. THE RAILROADS (From the Detroit News) A great change has come over the railroad situation since Commodore Vanderbilt, reminded by a newspaper man that the people had some inter- est in the way railroads were oper- ated, remarked: "The public be' damned," Not so many years t here- after the public asserted its control over the railroads, and the Inter- state Commerce Commission was es- tablished. But the public didn't know very much about 'railroads, even then. People held the artless belief that the way to get good service at low prices was to make the railroads engage in fierce competition. They even went to the Supreme Court to prevent railroads from combining. "Compete, confound you, compete," said the people. So the railroads competed, or made motions as though they were competing, and the result was not particularly good. But today the public is saying, "Combine, you, combine! What's the sense in having a lot of separate roads performing the same service between the same places? Get to- gether!" So the railroads are trying to gett ogether--with some reluc- tance, it is true, due to the fact that the big companies can't quite agree on how they shall swallow the smaller ones, That problem, insofar as eastern trunk line territory is concerned, is reported almost solved, There are to be four great systems, and agree- ment has been reached, it is said, by "giving each of them the particular thing it most wanted." Well, that is a step' in advance. But why four systems? Why not a single system, operated by genuine railroad men who are neither bank- ers nor brokers nor politicians, but know how to get rolling stock over the lines speedily and cheaply, and what to do with it at the terminals?

PRAYER --May we, Lord, ever seek the best. - Seagrave, Apr. §.--The way of the transgressor is hard the Bible tells us and is surely true in many cases. The long arm of the law has reached out in the case of one who has spent a few years of his life around Seagrave. Mr. Jack Hall- away, who some time ago forged several cheques to the amount of five hundred dollars on the Cana- dian Bank of Commerce at Port Perry, Hallaway has been located by Provincial Constable Cookman, of Whitby, in Liverpool, England, which place he went after leaving Canada. We have not yet learned it he will be brought back to stand his trial. The world seems very small afterall, The many friends of Mrs. John Mark will sympathize with her in the death of her gister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Munroe, which took place at Gamebridge this week. Mrs, Munroe having lost a son on- ly a few weeks ago has no doubt poor health when her son died. They were residents of Seagrave hastened her death as she was in some years ago, Mrs. Fred Bellingham and little son Howard, of Toronto, are the guests of Mr, and Mrs. C. W, Moon, Mr. and Mrs. James Harding visited In Elora a few days last week. Mr. Frank Smith has returned from Toronto and taken a posi- tion with Mr, L., Scott and son.

Eagleson's infant class qf little girls provided the additional pro- gram, Miss Jean Harding, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs, James Harding, sang a solo, "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam," very sweet- ly, while Ruby McCoy gave a read- ing that was well received. The Nelson Bible class have charge of the program next Sunday morn- ing, being Easter Sunday the hoys will likely do their best to give us a good Easter program. An additional feature of our Sunday School will be the adoption of a birthday box which will be ready for next Sunday morning, Every- one is asked to put in one cent for every year of their age as their birthday comes around, the mon- ey to be spent for missions at home and abroad, as needed, We trust everyone will give these birthday pennies with a good spir- it and at the end of each year we trust the Birthday Box will be full to overflowing. Mrs, Walter Mark and daugh- ter Lottie, who have spent the winter in Toronto, with Mr. and Mrs, M, McDougall. have returned to their home in Seagrave, Mr. Earl Beadle has taken over a store business in Myrtle and will be moving as soon as the roads are fit. The heavy trucks are mak- ing the roads almost unpassable. Some say they never were never on the roads when they were so bad between Seagrave and Port Perry. Mrs. Gordon Montgomery, of Bowmanville, was visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs, J. Hold- ershaw, for a few days, Mr. Hugh King has returned to his home after being in Lindsay hospital several weeks. Mr. L. Sornberger is with the mumps. Wedding bells. TYRONE Tyrone, Apr. 6.--Spring is here; signs of growth are everywhere; fat small buds of promise are on lilacs and every other shrub, It won't be long until our lawns will be blossom-sweet with every breeze.

Rallway tonight sald that the first he had heard of the alleged grave fire hazard in the North referred to by Hon, William Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, was what he had read in today's papers. Off-hand Mr, Lee would not admit this hazard exlst- ed along the T, and N.O., but was inclined to believe that the Min- ister had referred in his speech to conditions along the C.N.R. Ine from Kapuskasing to Toronto, At any rate when discussing lumber- ing operations with Mr. Lee, Mr. Finlayson had made no reference to conditions along the T. and N. 0. line, motor to the Bank Drafts to and from Foreign Countries UYING and selling foreign drafts is a regular part of the general business of the Standard Bank in which we often find ourselves able to render valuable assistance by offering timely advice.
