Mother Love —A Great Tribute The United States Senate was the background for one of the most exalted tributes ever paid to the strength of Mother Love. It was delivered June 29, 1921, by Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, today one of the most distinguished members of that body. This high, burning offer* • tory to Motherhood is offered as a particularly appropriate reading for Mother's Day.—Editor’s Note. MOTHER LOVE! The golden cord that stretches from the throne of God, uniting all animate creation to divinity. Its light glekms down the path of time, from barbarous ages, when savage women held their babes to almost famished breasts and died that they

might live. Its holy flame glows as bright in hovels where poverty breaks a meager crust as in palaces where wealth holds Lucullian feasts. It is the one great universal passion—the sinless passion of sacrifice. Incomparable in its sublimity, interference is sacrilege, regulation is mockery. “The wild beasts hear its voice and answer to its call. A tigress finding'her cubs slaughtered, pauses to lick theif wounds fend then with raging heart seeks out their murderer. A she wolf standing at the mouth of her den, with gleaming fangs and

blood-red tongue, dies in defense of her whelps. Tiger's cub or wolf's whelp, I would rather feel the rough caresses of the hairy paws of my savage mother I would rather have her care and protection than that of an official animal trainer. “I once saw a little timorous mother quail with marvelous intelligence and still more marvelous courage protect her brood by exposing herself to the hunter's aim. I then realized that nothing could take the place of mother love. “If its divine fire so warms and thrills the heart of beast and bird, with what intensity does it consome the bosom, with what ecstacy inspire the soul ot a woman for the child of her oody! Although she knows that she must risk her own to bring forth a new life, she does not draw back. Her love-lit. eyes behold only visions of happiness, of glory, and of power to be realized by her unborn child. With smiling lips, and eager heart she enters the vale of shadows. The first cry of the new-born falls on her ear, sweet as the music of paradise. Her trembling hands caress the tender skin; her soul cries out the anxious question, ‘Will my baby live?’ The torturing days of convalescense fly swiftly upon wings of hope. She nestles the tiny helpless thing to her bosom; sustains it with milk of her body, every drop drawn from a fountain of infinite love. “With indescribable solicitude she watches over her offspring. Even when her body slumbers, her soul keeps vigil and her hands in unison with her spirit will stretch forth to soothe the baby back to sleep. With glowing pride she watches the growing child, shields it from harm, guides it along the paths "of rectitude, inspires its soul with lofty sentiments of honor and of faith in the eternal God. “When time has piled the snows upon her head and turned her brown or raven locks to white, her love will still abide, riper and sweeter with the passing years. Though she may live until her children are themselves grown old and gray, she yet will see the silken locks of youth; their roughened hands yet have the caressing touch of baby fingers; their ■voices bear to her the tender and melodious notes of infancy. And when at last she approaches the portrals of death there is no solace so sweet as the presence of those she bore 'to people and replenish the earth.' "For mother love there is no substitute. If there be truth in religion, then this holy sentiment was planted in woman's heart by the hand of God. It has made life possible. It is in truth the very source of life itself. When all other passions are dead it survives. It will pass through the fiery furnaces of disgrace and yet live. It will endure the scorching breath of contumely with unwavering fidelity. “A mother will enter prisons of shame and kiss a felon hand thrust through the bars. She will sit beside the accused in courts of law, when the mob jeers and the heartless machinery of justice grinds its grist of agony, and with unwavering faith maintain her child is innocent. She will stand at the foot of the scaffold and, when the trap has fallen, cover the condemned body with kisses and with flowers. It is still to her the innocent suckling she once hugged to her breast. , “But if the path of life has led her son to fields of honor, her heart will glow with pride, ineffable, unspeakable. If he is called to war, she will bid him good-bye with dry eyes although her heart is filled with tears. She will maintain a firm and hopeful mien, that he may gain sublimer courage from her sublime example. When he sleeps upon the tented field her spirit will keep watch. Whilst he is slumbering she will pray. In the agony of waiting she will die a thousand deaths, but will choke back her sobs and hide her torture. She will search for him amongst the slain and try with kisses to warm the dead and unresponsive lip3 to life. She will coffin her heart with the beloved body, and her soul will keep the eternal vigil of a deathless love. “Mother love! It has produced, fondled, reared, inspired and glorified all of the shadowy hosts who have passed across the ‘bank of time since man first raised his eyes toward the heavens. “It is, I say again, the golden cord that binds the earth to God." „ A Worthy Contest The Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics announces the posting of $150,000 in prizes for a “safe aircraft competition.’’ By this means it hopes to take American aernautics a long step along the road to real safety in the air. Os course, everything considered, our airplanes are remarkably safe right now. But the tragedy that took the lives of Noel Davis and Stanton Wooster emphasizes that there is much yet to be done. The airplane is a wonderful instrument waiting full development. ’ The Guggenheim Funds’ contest ought to help it immensely. It is a step in the Tight direction. f

Lest We Forget When the grand jury which spent eleven weeks in investigating the Stephenson charges of political corruption ended its work, it added to its report of "no indictments,” “This is the only report possible under conditions which existed within the grand jury-” That phrase becomes even more important now than it was significant at that time. For the second grand jury, so rules Judge James A. Collins, was approached with an offer of bribes. He has convicted and sentenced James Armitage for contempt and by that decision puts the seal of judicial truth upon the charge by Grand Juror Achey that Armitage had offered him $2,600 in money and a city job if he would vote against any indictment against Mayor Duvall, no matter what evidence was presented. That is now the official record and Judge Collins has very properly ordered Prosecutor Remy to file direct informations against any and all persons w ho should be indicted and who were not indicted. But the public will also be curious and certainly the prosecutor and the two assistants, Emsley W. Johnson and John W. Holtzman, named by Collins to assist, should be curious as to the meaning of that cryptic report of the former grand jury. It is now a matter of judicial record that one of the conditions surrounding the investigations of the jury first discharged was that outside influences were offering money for protection. That much is known of the jury which had no other duty than to pursue the inquiries started by the jury which had more resources and advantages. It must be remembered, too, that the former grand jury met at a time when the statute of limitations was no bar to prosecutions of political crimes. It was much nearer to the .elections and official proceedings which Stephenson from his cell blurted were corrupted by himself. If there was need of bribery at the present time, was there need of bribery last fall w hen the former grand jury invited attention to its own incapacity? That jury g&ve a vindication to state officials. Was that the result of the “conditions within the jury” or was it a judgment that was based on honest opinion? Certain it is that anj‘ reason for tampering with jurors that existed when Armitage offered his bribe, as Judge Collins ruled he did, existed in a much greater degree when the former grand jury was chasing the elusive witnesses and found itself hampered and blocked whenever it tried to get the secrets of Stephenson from his convict cell. Now that the court has been warned that jurors have been offered bribes to project officials, is it beyond the rights of the public to demand that the members of the former grand jury he asjted just what they meant when they called attention to conditions within their own body which prevented a different report than the whitewash of all State officials? The public now knows, from the records of Judge Collins’ court, that its grand jurors have been offered bribes. The public wants to know and officials should share that curiosity, as to what happened to the former jury. , It would seem that the simple expedient of calling all the members of that body into open court and asking an explanation would not be too much to ask. The Lion Calls the Eagle a Liar Recently Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, wrote President Hibbcn of Princeton, saying it would not hurt Britain much to pay her war debt to America because she will receive from Germany and from her allies, quite enough to square the account. In Britain this is a tender subject. Her diplomacy for the past four or five years has been directed toward building up, in continental Europe, quite the contrary impression. So well has she succeeded, In fact, that today her reputation as a generous creditor stands ace high while America is looked upon as ths shylock among nations. So Mellon’s statement to Hibben was informally characterized in Britain as a “tissue of falsehoods” and now, on top of that, to the utter amazement of a large eyed world, come3 an official note from the British government saying much the same thing, only in politer language, and virtually calling on AVashington for a correction. This newspaper does not pretend to say which of these two gentlemen lied—Secretary Mellon or ( Winston Churchill, British chancellor of the exchequer and real author of the note. We suspect neither of them did. Our hunch is that the trouble lies with the figures serving as a basis for their calculations. For while figures don’t lie they certainly can, and often do, deceive like all out of doors. Our real concern is rather over the fact that the two great branches of the English speaking race should haggle so over a thing like this. If we are going to become vicious over a mere question of money, what hope have we of standing shoulder to shoulder to face the really vital problems to come? Os course, the British did not Apect, and probably did not want, a detailed reply to their note. It was primarily intended for continental European consumption and its main purpose was accomplished once published in that part of the world. Proud Albion would hesitate to ask directly for a further scaling down of her debt to us but if she can keep the agitation going in France and elsewhere on the continent, including Germany Itself, ultimately a reopening oMhe whole reparations and war debts question will become inevitable. Then Britain will profit along with the rest in any general program of cancellation or scaling down. It will be a long time before we hear the last of the war debts. But we shall hear more of the war debts before a long time. * Sir George Paish told the Bond Club of New A’ork the world Is facing a credit crisis. AVon’t they ever settle that old gag about who won the war? Three Ohio high school boys were arrested for blowing a safe. Perhaps they were only cribbing. Good wine needs no dandelions.

Tracy \ Says: France Is More Than Living Up to English Expectations.

By M. E. Tracy The British debt nottf was written for two reasons: First, to surround the Tory party with a halo of patriotism, and, second, to set off some anti-American fireworks on the continent. AVlth the labor situation on its hand, the Tory party felt the need of distracting public attention. With a badly balanced budget it felt the need of reopening the debt controversy. , It assumed that‘\France could be depended upon to take up that controversy If and when the proper cue were given. The assumption proved correct. France is more than living up to English expectations. "I the last analysis,” says one French writer, “Great Britain signed an I O U. Now she finds that she can’t fulfill It. As for France, she prefers not to sign.” True to her traditions. Great Britain has started a row for somebody Slse to finish. Getting Results . Having made some easy money in Chicago, a kidnaping gang sought larger opportunities in New A'ork. It began operation on April 2S by kidnaping two wealthy men and demanding a ransom of $400,000. Relatives of the captured men reported to the police and bargained with the kidnapers. They had worked the latter down to $40,000 wfien the police broke up the show. One of the kidnapers is dead, another in a hospital. a third in jail and the arrest of tife remaining two is expected at any moment. If Mayor Thompson really wants to clean up the crooks in Chicago he should send his police force lo New Y’ork for a summer course. Lynch Law Governor Martineau of Arkansas says that he Is convinced the police and sheriff s forces could have prevented the lynching of John Carter in Little Rock last AVednesday. His opinion is borne out by the attitude of local newspapers which are revere in their criticism of city and county authorities. It is also borne out by the explanations of Mayor Moyer and Alderman Bilheimcr. Mayor Moyer declares that the city council's decision not to order police interference with the mob probably saved the lives of 250 citizens. Alderman Bllhelmer, who was acting mayor at the time of the lynch ing, indorses this view, explaining that the mob was in no humor for argument. t Fear Rules Lynch law is based on fear of the mob. In nine cases out of ten, It operates only where the officers beck>me scared after counting noses. ’ Once in a blue moon some sheriff is overpowered or shot down, but generally speaking, the mob Is glad lo accept a nervy man's argument. Babbitt Government Nicholas Murray Butler says the Republicans will lose if they back up the A'olstead act, and that anew party Is likely to be formed If both Republicans and Democrats back it up. He says that we have been governed by Babbitts long enough. Whatever one. may think of his views. Butler certainly makes them clear. There Is no possibility of mis . understanding what the man thinks. \Ve jivould probably be better* off if there were more like him in this country, more who would stAid right out in the open and express their opinions Ijonestly. It does not make very much difference whether a man is for prohibition or against it, but it makes a lot if he lacks the courage to say what he thinks. Too Smug Butler is right when he says there is too much Babbittry in America. Asa people, w© are becoming too polite, too hypocritical and too smug, for our own good. Theories of salesmanship have infected us with tbe idea of soft pedaling our convictions to gain customers. Politics has borrowed a page from business and has fallen for the notion that joshing and back patting get the best results. Taggart May Be Right Tom Taggart believes that Evans D. Woollen would make a good Democratic) presidential candidate, and he may be right. The difficulty lies in getting enough Democrats to think so. Woollen is an able banker and a well liked citizen of Indianapolis. He made a fairly good run for the Senate last year. Beyond that he has had very little political experience. His availability rests on the fact that he has not been mixed up in politics long enough to offend any one. Considering how hopelessly the Democratic party seems to be deadlocked this may prove important. Chance for Unknown AA'hen the Republicans worked themselves into such a stew over Lowden, Wood and Johnson In 1920 that none of the three could be nominated. they found Harding very acceptable. There comes a time in life of parties when comparatively unknown men make the best candidates. Are Arabian horses raised in this country? Some Arabian horses are raised | here and the largest stud is at Ber- ! lin, N. H., the Maynesboro-Arabian I stud. i ■ What is the meaning of “Ath- | elda?” %t is Teutonic and means “noble one.”
