RALSTON The resolutions adopted by the deni ’ ocratlc editors at the close of the recent mid-summer session, included the 1 following concerning Governor Rais-' ton: "We congratulate the people of In I iliana and especially the democratic party of the state, upon the good re-! cord thus far made by the administration of Governor Samuel M. Ralston ' His sincerity of purpose, sound judge-! inent. and wise leadership have not only been shown in the discharge of his executive duties, but also in his stimulating influence in favor of constructive legislation of great value to the people, and his restraining influence on all measures of doubtful | character of expendiency. His crea-l tion of a commission to act without! pay on the subject of corporation ! promotion, known as the "Blue Sky : Commission.*’ was an act in the inter-1 cat of legitimate financial enterprise and of the investing public as well.” I We recognize in Governor Ralston a great and growing man. one whom nature has richly endowed and to whom training and experience hate brought wisdom. His ability is only tqualed by his modesty He ha» courage without bluster, and honesty without pretense. Himself the soul of honor he is inclined to have' faith in the honor of others, iliumin-. ated and interpreted, however, by' a strong common sense and an tive knowledge of human nature. 1 Samuel Ralston is a worthy successor of Thomas A. Hendricks and Thomas Riley Marshall in his high office and is a man whom this association and the democrats of Indiana would be proud to honor if called up higher by the democracy of the nation.” One of the women of the Democratic Editorial association, most jiopular and best loved, is Mindwell Crampton Wilson, daughter of our grand old man. A. It Crampton, of Delphi. Mrs. Wilson assists her husband and father in editing the Citi-tien-Times and can do many things frcll. She is nearly always called on to do something toward entertaining the members of the association at their meetings ano always succeeds in doing it. She can also write "tonir," her story of the trip to the south part of the state, in this week's issue .being especially good and delightfully interesting to those who attended, the very best it has been our pleasure to read.

DOINGS IN SOCIETY WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Saturday. Social—Henry Krueckeberg homoSHE WHO DOESN'T WANT ANY PIE. While we worked on a newspaper In Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont, we ate our noon-day lunches at the . restaurant. We always did find peo-' 1 ( >le interesting. Streams of people I came and went and we sat at thej table and wondered about them and : wove strange little tales of their 'Coming and Goings.” Among the number were a rather trail looking: man, his strong looking wife and a. I hearty looking son about five years [ old, who came often. They were a ■ family from the farming district and i ! came to town to "trade." The father I always had a dinner to himself, but | tiie mother ordered one dinner and then shared it with the boy—a growing boy who usually eats as much "as a man " The mother did not seem to i take much pleasure in her food, eat- ! ing it in a listless way, as though ; from simply habit, and as though any of the items of food, that the boy did not want suited her. I have always remembered a prize definition of “a mother" that I once read "A MOTHER IS ONE THAT SAYS SHE DOESN'T WANT ANY PIE. WHEN THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TO GO ROUND" The definition is only too true. The sac rif teal spirit of the mother is one I of the most divine, the greatest yet ’ most common things on earth But it : is often a bad thing. It may breed self- ! ishness in the other members of the , family. In the case of the mother. | "pie" may mean countless otlmr things too. Little pleasures that she | gives up, little trips, little vacations.: little dainties or even necessaries of clothing, that Johnny or Susie or Mary may not have otherwise. The children too often take these little sacrifices as a matter of course, and they are aot always appreciated. Let the mother take her piece of pie with the 1 1 others, even though the pieces maybe smaller. BUT GIVE MOTHER THE I PIE. Then winter came —up in the restaurant "in Maine, New Hampshire or ' Vermont." In the hurry and bustle, we were not conscious of missing the ' family party until one spring day they appeared again. This time . there was another member —a tiny baby, still in long frocks. The mother held the baby, of course, while she tiied to eat: but the boy who had grown considerably, came into man s tstate when he got a full dinner. I watched particularly to see whether the mother divided with him, this . time; she did not; but then of course I her sharing went on, for there was the baby to rekon with. The other members of the party ate their dinner i.i I'eace, while the mother was interrupt- • ed often by the crying of the baby . When the others had quite finished, . one. of them—a girl—probably a "hired girl"—took the babe and the motli--1 er finished her dinner, though it ■ must have become quite cold and tasteless by that time. i But after all, it s ten to one, that , all mothers were once only "selfish" girls1 T.ast Tuesday a very pleasant surprise was enjoyed when one hundred triends gathered at the home of Henry . Teeple and w ife to remind their son. John of his birthday. Those present were as follows: Mr C’laton Green and wife; Mr. John Gephart and wife; Mr. Henry Teeple and wife; Misses Elplia Boyer, Bertha Burnett, Manola Bryan. Frances Myers, Ed la Ruby.
