Show A SENSIBLE MONUMENT A Kentucky congressman proposes to introduce a bill in congress con-gress calling for the erection in Washington City of a monument to the Mothers of America. While none of us here know this congressman con-gressman personally, all us would like to pat him on the back for his good judgment. We've spent millions of dollars for monuments to men who have won honors in war; other millions for shafts to heroes on land and sea; we've honored our dead with monuments that will stand forever, and yet we have never spent one penny to-. to-. ward honoring the one who gave to the United States every man who has done anything great we have neglected the mothers of the men to whom we build monuments. Many thousands of dollars dol-lars spent for monuments in this country have been foolishly spent. No question of that. But where is the man who can raise his hand and say that we would make a mistake to take a few hundred thousand, thous-and, or even a few millions that we as a government spend foolishly and erect the greatest, grandest and finest monument of all to Mothers those who have really made this nation great? |
