We have long erected® public- monusj}:- ments to our great men but have seldom' dropped:even-a-flowerf:: on the resting place of the noble mothers:who raised the gifted men and to whoim most of the credit for the greatness belongs. |.c In many states, dependent’ mothers are:given>a~pension, and the inauguration of Mothers’ Day has'sétall' to'thinking | v more of the debt we owe the noble mothers of ‘our land. This Mothers’ Day movement—making' the second’ Sunday in' May sacred“to mothers—has nothing behind ‘it but a belief in men}| and women as sons and daughters.’! Eventually-it will create an all-nations brotherhood that will stand- for the.protection of] fmo':hers and-children, for the preservation of the home it- self. . The white carnation was chosen as the:memory flower be- cause it grows everywhere and its whiteness: symbolizes the purity of a mother’s love, its endarance, her fidelity. Through all ages and all centuries the world is indebted to motherhood, for mother-love is as old as the world ‘and as young ‘as the youngest born. It is the greatest force for good on this earth. Even a bad father’s influence is so discounted by a good mother’s that, nine times out of ten, the children| - come out all right. And most people 'h4d 'gaod ‘mothers-—in- deed, most of us had the best mother that ever lived. Let us all, next Sunday, make a special effort in behalf of * our mothers. Write her a letter, send-her a-box of ‘carnations |’ and wear a carnation in your coat, a- white carnation if your mother-is dead ‘and-a colored one if she is living. : 0 EVERYBODY SHOULD SUPPORT NORD . L. H. Nord of International Falls, state senator from .the Sixty-second: district, which comprises Beltrami’ and Koochi- ching counties, is again a candidate for re-election, just finish- ing his first term. 3 In Senator Nord, voters of Bemidji and Beltrami’ county have the best opportunity to return the compliment to one. of the best men in the state of Minnesota, and one of the most ard- | ent supporters-of Bemidji,-Beltrami county and their interests, as well as the state at large. It- was -Senator Nord who lined up for Bemidji’s normal school and did yeoman work to secure the school for this-city. He has always been-a staunch friend of northern Minnesota and a booster for everything that tended -toward its progress: He has given an excellent account of“his” first térm. He is recognized by his colleagues-in the state senate as a man of un- usual ability and his warm-hearted personality and open frank- ness has won for him the hearty respect of his-fellow -legisla~f - tors and all who know him. Senator Nord is a man of whomithe. Sixty-second-may -well|~ be proud as its representative. He is'of the rightisort évery way and Bemidji and Beltrami county .should-support him-in the election, as appreciation for his friendship and what ‘he has done for Bemidji and the county at large. i R S BURNQUIST DESERVES THEIR: ENDORSEMENT Says a dispatch from St. Paul: L “The new national party, successor‘to the prohi- bition party, filed almost a complete state ticket yes- terday, composed wholly of former prohibitionists.” If that NEW prohibition party, styling'the National party, would stop and think for a few moments it might_come.to the conclusion that about the best friend the foes of'liquor-has-in [+ the state of Minnesota™is Governor Burnquist, yet they seem to deem it a wise move to put up a ticket and weaken the. sup- port of the man who has battled hard ‘all forms of disloyalty and treason to the government. Governer Burnquist has used the “club” upon the heads of those who have sought by nefari: ous means to further the booze game ‘as'it is'played in the state in defiance of all law and common decency, and that is the chief reason he is being-attackédvand villified by the liquor crowd and those whom they can dominate.- - Loyalty is also an attribute of a‘governor and no one can honestly assert that Governor Burnquist has been other than just that. That’s why he will be returned.: - ~ —_— WHERE IS YOUR DAUGHTER? * (Delineator) - Do you know at this moment? " Y. W. C. A. workers tell us th_at the chances are very large that she is at this moment running after a soldier? The chances are-particularly large if she is between 12 and 16 years: 'Your daughtér; mind you! Not the wild little girl who belongsito the tough folk who livel|: in the next.block, or the tough little girl who belongs to the weak family over back of you. Your girl: Watch her.. At her age she knows 8¢ much more than you dream she does, and so much less than you -take it fon granted she does. The uniforms are fascinating and so is she. It’s brutally unfair to her-and to the lads who' wear that uni- form that you do not guard her better. Where does she eat her noon lunch? Where does she go .after school? D9 you let her go alone to the movies-after sup- per, or stay all night with her schoolgirl chum?- She is unspeakably precious. So are those 14ds, so young, so very young, in their uniforms. 'Guard -them-¥oth, - It is your job, day and night. et — RE IR AP NP T N TN R R R U R RE B A U R U R R U SR TR BRI 0 Nk aih COPYRIGHT ' ... sirEPuB.CO <~ Contributed by Charlés: Dana Glbsom. - By HAROLDBELL -WRIGHT. THE hope of the world is not alone " that the armies of humanity will - be victorious, but that the spirit-and purpose of our warfare will prevail in our victory. The hope-of the.world is.in the Red Cross, becauseithe-Red - Cross is voicing this spirit 4nd pur- pose that must, through “thé force of , our arms, triumph.. Just to' the de= - gree ‘that we can evidence this Red -~ Cross spirit of merey and ‘brother- hood we will hold true in the dan: gerous kour of victory to the ideals: that have forced us'into the trenches-—- in the defense of human rights and.. human liberty. The one sane and savingi thought in this'delirium “of death-that-new possesses the world is the Red: Cross. Wherever -the storms of battle. hell rage, amid ‘thefires of ‘ ruthless- destruction, in trench and camp and hospital; these-soldiers of mercy with - heroism unsurpassed are carrying the flag of the highest conceivable ideals ' of humanity. The:ideals*for which our armies have -taken the field are, - by these unarmed_hosts, proclaimed to friend and foe, in that unmistaka: ble language of universal mercy and brotherbood: ' In the terms of wasted towns /rebuilt; ‘of broken: hunianity salvaged,-of-dying children rescued; of desolate families succored, the Red Cross declares the cause for which we'. war and proclaims the principles and- - ideals-that must and will -in the end prevail. Above the thunder of the guns, the roar:of exploding mines, the crash of fallen cities and the cries of tortured humanity, the ‘voice-of the Red Cross carries clear and strong the one message of hope to our war- burdened ‘world. - The black horror-of this werld’s . crisis would be unbearable were' it not for the spiritvand - work of ' this mighty force. The noerma] mind re- fuses ‘to -contemplate the situation - without this saving power: It is the knowledge that in every city, town and hamlet, :men; women and children-are united in this work of declaring-to the world, 'through the Red-Cross, our message of mercy and - ‘brotherhood, that keeps-:our hearts from sinking under the -burden of woe and sustains our faith in hu- man kind. It is the ‘constant daily, almost hourly touch with the Red Cross work that is-felt by every citi- zen in the land, that inspires us with courage and hope. Out of this' hell of slaughter.the Red Cross will guide the warring na- tions to a heaven of world-widerpeace and brotherhood. Because it is the living expréssioix f of those. ideals: and principles in de- fense of Which: we.are giving our.all in lives and material' wealth—because on every field of death it is proclaim- ing its message of life—because it keeps ever before us and-the world the eausefor which we war-because it will.preserve us-in-the hour of our victory from defeating ourselves—the Red Cross-is-the hope of-the world.
