Troclalm Liberty through all the land" The Liberty BcU "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God glveth thee." Exodus 20:12. Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children. William M. Thackery. Safeguarding M other hood The greatest thing in the world is Love. The highest human embodiment of love is Mother. What's more fitting than the observance of Mother's day as a day when all join in public expression of love and esteem for mothers. The popularity of the day has grown since the first presidential proclamation was issued in 1914, until today it is one of the most generally observed of our special days on the calendar. Many today will be wearing carnations and sending flowers to Mother a beautiful custom. But many others can no longer reach Mother with floral tributes or telegrams of greeting; she has been called to higher high-er realms of love and service. At the same time many Mothers millions of them throughout our land in homes of the unemployed, are praying, not for flowers but for flour; not for candy but for bread; not for greeting cards and telegrams, but for food, clothes, medicine, hospital care, a home, and the simple necessities neces-sities of life. In recent years, Mother's day has taken on a deeper significance than the expression of sentiment and reverence. It has become the day when the public is reminded of the necessity ne-cessity of protecting mothers from preventable deaths. No greater tragedy can come to any home than the loss of the mother. Yet each year in Utah an average of 61 homes are bereaved of their mothers. Diseases of pregnacy and childbirth are among the leading lead-ing causes of death of women between the ages of 15 and 45 years. It is claimed .that 50 to 75 per cent of all maternal deaths could be prevented if expectant mothers would seek medical care early and continue under close medical supervision super-vision throughout the entire period. Last year in Utah nearly five mothers died for every 1000 live births. It is safe to say at least half of these deaths could have been prevented. Commendable efforts along this line are being fostered by the maternal and child health division of the state board of health. Motherhood will be made safer through better prenatal and obstetrical care and through education of all expectant mothers as to the need of good diet, regular habits of living, and adequate medical supervision as advocated today by health authorities. On this Mother's day, li):7, let us all join in cooperative efforts to prevent unnecessary deaths of our mothers. America Is Going Forward With FDR . According to confidential reports from Washington, the United States chamber of commerce is ready to adopt a more friendly attitude toward President Roosevelt and the New Deal generally. President Harper Sibley of the chamber is retiring and George Davis of Kansas City, head of the grain elevator operators' code under NRA, and a friend of Henry Wallace, is being touted for the job. If Davis is elected, the story is that there will be some sweeping changes in chamber cham-ber of commerce office staff members and the initiation of a spirit of co-operation rather than antagonism toward the New Deal. This won't, of course, mean that the chamber will climb on FDR's bandwagon. It won't be a blanket indorsement of the New Deal by the chamber. But it will "mean abandonment abandon-ment by the chamber of their former tactics of bitter and uncompromising opposition. The Roosevelt New Deal is accomplishing a great good in its broad program of bringing a "more abundant life" to the average citizen. And in that program it has the whole-. whole-. hearted supiort of the great majority of the American people. peo-ple. Whether business likes if or not, that program in its broad aspects is going to be put into effect. It is better that business accept this new economic order and work in a co-oierative co-oierative spirit with the Roosevelt administration. Thus business will be able to really help make this new economic order workable and not a death sentence for the American capitalistic system. America IS GOING FORWARD with Roosevelt and the New Deal. Nothing anyone can say or do will stop that program. pro-gram. Far better that we go forward in unison, with cooperation co-operation and understanding, than that one element should be dragged along the path of progress in the dust or even left behind in the ditch.

CARROLL MOTHER'S DAY I was thinking that if there is any power in mas.s-thought and feeling, mothei'hood should be more worthy to be glorified tomorrow to-morrow than it is today. If a child is made to feel that his parents, his brothers and sisters, and friends think he is a good, honest ambitious child, he tries to be like the ideal they have of him. So today, with the thoughts the love, the praise of millions idealizing motherhood, all mothers must feel .a striving upward toward to-ward that glorified vision of herself her-self she beholds on Mother's day. At least, I know that for a time, each year after I have received tokens and letters of appreciation and praise from my children, I feel as if there were a sort of halo about me and that must I be the I kind of mother they think I am. j Of course that elevated feeling wears on in lime, dui it aoes help me to be my better self throughout the year. I think back through the years with reverence and gratitude for my own mother. When I think of her fortitude, her courage sacrifice, sacri-fice, patience, and faith I want to be worthy of her and what she hoped for me. Hers was not an easy life, but she made the best of hard circumstances, and she lived with a beauty and serenity of spirit difficult for me to achieve even without her obstacles. I think of "other women" who have given something of motherhood mother-hood to me. Motherhood is more spiritual than physical. Some of the grandest mothers in the world have been denied physical motherhood. mother-hood. F think of Jane Addams as one example. She never gave birth to a child, but she was a mother to thousands in the highest sense of the word and others besides my own mother have been mother to me. Chief among them is that other "mother" my husband gave me. I could nevei count the gratitudes I owe to her. If lov- and appreciation appre-ciation can in a little repay hvr, she has those rewards to the full. During the twenty-three years since the first Mother's day was Officially proclaimed, much has been said and written in appreciation apprecia-tion of mothers. Two of the poems that please me most are those of Anna Hemstead Branc'n entitled "Her Hands" and "Her Words " for truly it is by means of her hands and her words that a mother moth-er chiefly serves. One of the most poignant motherhood moth-erhood poems I have ever read is that of Agnes Lee in which she pictures the mothers of Christ and of Judas Iscariot watching a group of children at play, each yearning over her own son and seeing in every face the face of her own child, beloved and lost. Mary, not knowing the other woman, wo-man, tells of the Christ's grace and beauty and love, to which the other always replies, "Even so was mine." "Then whispered Mary: 'Tell me, thou, Of thine. And she: 'Oh mine was rosy as a bough Blooming with roses, sent somehow some-how To bloom for me! His balmy fingers left thrill Within my breast that warms me still. Then gazed she down some wilder, darker hour, And said when Mary questioned, knowing not: 'Who art thou, mother of so sweet a flower?' 'I am the mother of Iscariot.' " It is the great tragedy of the world that mother's love and faith and prayers such as that mother had, cannot save her child from destructive forces beyond her power. There would be. no war, or sin, or heartaches in the world If the dreams of every mother as she gazes upon the baby at her breast SOPH, 1917 BY UFA I - - i Judge Stump Dear Judge: Has anyone ever answered anything any-thing but "Hit right Ktlll" when another person says, "Pardon me for not getting up?"

MY MASTERPIECE Of to my soul there come stealing Sweet visions of consummate art: A statue, a picture, a poem And there awakes in my heart A longing to carve the fair image. To color the picture sublime. To sing for the world the sweet poem; To create a great masterpiece Mine! But e'en as I reach for my canvas Or pallette and brush, or my pen, And open the door to fancy I'm brought to the present again. An echoing laugh may recall me; A shrill cry of pain or of fear; A small grimy hand on my elbow; A sweet whispered word in my ear. And away go my visions awinging Back to the fount whence they came. Before me untouched is my marble ; My canvas is white; my song but a name.

U. S. TT. Off- Poker Debts By X REPORTER An acquaintance made great argument with me. Our city was in the throes of an election campaign. On our ballot was a proposition which would have cost our city a great sum of money, out which would have paid in full an honest debt, acquired ac-quired and contracted for by the citizens some years previously at the polls. My acquaintance argued astutely that the city need not pay that debt, that it could merely mere-ly cease making the payments and let the party of the second part, a public utility corporation, take back its sadly worn goods and do the best it might to rehabilitate rehabili-tate andrperate them. He argued further that our city had already paid an enormous total of interest on the debt which was true- that the only collateral binding the contract was the physical property involved, and that the city could not be compelled to finish paying off the contract debt because it was in no way a general obligation , aganst the homes and proper ties of its citizens. It was not repudiation that he was urging, he assured me. Repudiation, Re-pudiation, he declared, occurred when a debtor refused to pay a debt that was unsecured or 'for which the security was entirely inadequate. In our case, he held, we would be turning cack to the original owners the property we had contracted to buy 20 years before. That seemed to him like an eminently fair proposal. "But the original owners do not want the dilapidated mess into which we have allowed their property to degenerate," I suggested. "They want the money we. the citizens, promised to pay them." I held also that our city, being be-ing able to pay and not doing so. would be a dishonest . debtor, that we could never live with our civic conscience again if we so violated it. My moral argument argu-ment made no impression. On the practical side, I sug gested that by refusing to pay a coniracteu debt merely because it hurt our pocketbooks, we were declaring ourselves a civic bankrupt and that our credit could not possibly be good again "No such danger," argued my acquaintance. "We didn't get a fair deal in the beginning. There is no reason for us as a city to give a fair deal. This is not like a poker debt. Honorable men pay their poker debts because their word and honor are at stake." I stopped him. "I do not know and do not wish to learn any difference between a poker debt and any other kind of debt." I said. "We cannot possibly understand under-stand each other because our terms are different." So he left.

"I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it I didn't mean it," Daphne said and slipped from his arms. "You're the sweetest, most generous person per-son in the world and I love the dog. I've always wanted one just like this." "But why don't you put him down and give me a little of your attention while I tell you my news?" "Consider it all yours but first I want to know if you are going to ask me to marry you because if you are . . ." "I'm not as a matter of fact. I'm telling you that you are going to marry me." "Oh, so that's the way it is! You're going to be the Magnificent Brute, are you? Well, listen to me." "I thought I had the floor." She looked properly subdued. "You are not only going to marry me but you are going to marry me tomorrow. Hand in hand we are going down . n ' She eaptured one of those hands. "Darling," she pleaded, "don't lose your breath.

Then, when you've got everything . . . I mean your material, we could . . . could have a real wedding and a honeymoon." Silence. Perplexed silence. "Don't you want to go, Daphne?"

Hurt silence. CHE put the flowers back in the bowl. "Larry, please don't ask me why, only please don't ask me to marry you before you go. I'll marry you later if you still want me to." "Daphne!" "Yes, Larry," she said after a while. "Don't you want to tell me why you want me to wait?" "Well," she said brightly. "You know my job . . . that is, you know how hard I've been working on the Georgian account?" He didn't say anything. "Larry, my campaign has been approved. That is, the on suggesting sug-gesting the tour across the country. coun-try. Now, they seem to feel that I know more about it than anyone any-one else and so they want me to manage it. That means that I will have to go." "I see," he said tonelessly. "You can't, of course, let your agency down." If Daphne's nerves hadn't been on edge she would have understood under-stood his sarcasm. As it was, she said, "There is that point. After all, I do owe my company something. some-thing. It has supported me, and Jennifer, for six years now. And I am responsible for the success of that account. I can't very well let them down." Larry stood up, picked up his hat.

"Well, I guess I should have known what you've been trying to tell me for the last three months, Daphne. You haven't ever given me a reason for not accepting me, have you?" She stood there calmly enough while her heart rocked. "TT was stupid of me not to have seen that you cared more for your job. I wish you success. I hope its a great trip. Are you still going to make it?" For one minute she looked back at him but he didn't know her eyes were pleading with him to tell her that he had to know why. He didn't. "Yes," she said. "I've got to do it" "Then I guess it's goodby." Without another word to her he went out the door. Daphne didn't cry. She went into her bedroom and began emptying the drawers of her dresser. She piled her lingerie in neat little bundles. She washed her collars and cuffs and packed the things she thought she'd need on her trip.
