MOTHER, WHERE ARE YOU?

The little child in fright or pain calls out, “Mother, where are you ?” ( It is mother's voice that, reassures him. It i? mother’s presence thatsnakes him bold In the darks It is mother who wipes away the tears “kisses the hurt 'to make dt. well.” It is mother who SdVes him; from all barm. It , whq 1

shares his joy and troubles. It is mother who prays daily for his protection. Mother is the guard that never sleeps when he is in danger. How safe he feels in the arms of mother! Home and God and mop>er are all the same to him, / Would mother fail to dp all possible to protect him tfom the dread diseases of fever and plague and war 7 Will mother vote to continue a system that some time —and it may be soon —will destroy his life, or blind his eyes, or mangle his limbs, or eat up his lungs by poison gases? Mother, where are you? Ask the little child. He will tell you. Your son has reached manhood. He is stricken with a disease that under the old method of treatment has always proved fatal. But a new remedy has been discovered that will cure in nine cases out of ten. How long would you tolerate a physician that insisted on sticking to thp old sure death methods and refused to give the new lifesaving remedy a trial? Mothers of America,—4l nations have adopted a remedy that will prevent the sacrifice of their sons in war. Are you unwilling that a trial be given this remedy to save your sons? Let us assume that our country refuses to give the remedy a trial. Without the league of nations, the laws relating to the coming of wars are as unchanging as were the laws of the Medes and Persians. Let us look ahead a few years to the coming war. It is inevitable under the old system. Your son on battlefield, or in muddy trench, or in fever-stricken camp or hospital* suffering from body wounds, orjmutilated limbs, or struggling for the breath of life through bleeding, poisoned lungs, crios out in his delirium, just as he did as a child when no one else could save him, “Mother, where are you?” Can mother save him then? Will mother save him now? ' Need we ask.

Mother that has Just come out of the valley of the shadow of death with the wee bit of helpless humanity; mother of the sweetest, dimpling, cooing babe that ever crowed for kisses; mother of the laughing, prattling, inquisitive toddler; mother of the little man of six ready for school; mothers of the boys and youths of America; mothers of the men of the greatest nation on earth; mother, “the holiest thing alive,” we thank God that you are to participate in the settling of this great moral, life-saving question. It is the greatest issue of the age. But beware! । The reactionaries and opponents of the league are employing their cleverest brains to distort the meaning of the covenant, to misrepresent its principles and belittle its importance. They are telling you of its evils, mostly imaginary and based on the absurd assumption that nations will । habitually violate their agreements. They never tell you of the great ' good It will accomplish; nor that its defects can better be discovered by a fair trial; nor that it can be amended; nor that we can withdraw if we don’t like it. Was there ever an attitude more depraved and uncompromising that is determined, through prevarication, distortion and misrepresentation to prevent the trial of a method that promises to

save to you in the future the lives of your sons. Be not deceived.' 'We had no league, and mor# than 100,000 of our, best men have just been sacrifleed. The league is to prevent a repetition of this, and greater sacrifices. It is not believed that the mdthers will be diverted from the path of righteousness by the misrepresentations and efforts to confuse and deceive her. Mothers see and know the right intuitively. Queen of the world, “the mother holds the key of the soul, and makek the being who would be savage a Christian man.” Through her prayers and her votes she will force the nations to discard the age-old, man-savage way of settling their disputes. In its stead they will have the civilized, Christian way of the covenant. Civ illzatlon and other nations in despair are crying, “Mothers of America, where are you?" The hope of the world lies in the motherhood of America. Mother will keep the faith with the sons who have gone before and the sons of the coming generation. Her Influence through the vote will put civilization a thousand years ahead. And “her children will rise up and call her blessed.” Mother, where are you?—Warren Daniel, in Indianapolis News.

PATRIOTISM VS. POLITICS

Vice-President Marshall is heard from infrequently and rarely, at considerable length, hence the attention he is likely to receive and deserve. He attracted some at Decatur, 111., when he spoke of the league after a fashion not likely to appeal to Senator Lodge, who has declared that the sole object of the president was to use the covenant for the purpose of disturbing the peace. Mr. Marshall takes a different view, not only of the Instrument, but of the president. The latter he describes aa unwarlike; the former he declares to be the beet precaution ever taken for averting war. Not less distasteful to the senator will be the statement that the fathers did not Intend our foreign relations to become the subject of partisan controversy. Nor does Mr. Marshall call a kettle black and whitewash a pot. He plays no favorite in that he regrets that the San Francisco convention did not declare for the league plus what are known as the Hitchcock reservations, and protests that a clean-cut declaration for the covenant with the iLodge reservations should have come from Chicago.

Well, things have happened since, take Senator Johnson’s word for it, and the league has been “scrapped,” there being not a shred of it left. Take another happening, and the league will be full of vitality—and teeth —in the event of Democratic success, so that whatever were the sins of omission in either convention, the issue is clearly joined. As now projected it is whether we shall go in or remain out. If we stay out, It will be because of the source from which came the proposition to go in. There is nothing unfortunate about the league but its auspices. As Mt; Marshall cynically . says, we want something to prevent —something

with teeth in it—but the teeth,, must be manufactured at the old Republican dentistry or they •will not be permitted to bite. The covenant, he adds, may not be perfect, but it is the best that cbuld be had, and after every epithet has been exhausted, the fact remains that the president is a patriot and a statesman and a lover of peace. Elections will come and go and partisanship passion will subside. In course of time what a patriot and a lover of peace has sought to do will be .seen In perspective as he was seen at Decatur. In that day and generation politicians now looming large will be Included among the pygmies.—Brooklyn Eagle.

KEEP FAITH WITH OUR DEAD

"I promise you formal and effective peace just as soon as a Republican congress can pass Its declaration for a Republican president to sign.” “This is simply a bld for the disloyal pro-Gennan anti-American vote that favors a separate peace. This vote Senator Harding will get, but he deserves to lose the vote of every red-blooded loyal American citizen. "One of the men who has a wooden cross In Flanders for a monument sent this challenege to you and to me just before he went down to his death: ‘To you from failing hands we throw The Torch; be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.’ "Are you, “as an individual, going to break the faith? On the second day of November, in the secrecy of the voting booth and in the presence of God and your own conscience, you will answer that question. Your part in the ‘solemn referendum’ will then be played. In the name of 81,000 Americans who gave their lives for a better world, may your voice be added to the call of humanity, justice and peace!"—Speech of Capt. Thomas G. Chamberlain, formerly of the A. E. F., Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 23.

McCRAY IS SILENT ON THE TAX LAW

McCulloch Declares G. O. P. Candidate’s Silence Gives Consent to Goodrich Law. Rockport, Ind., Oct. 6. —Dr. Carleton B. McCullough, Democratic candidate for governor, who has been speaking in the flrat district, was heartily received here this afternoon in Ms discussion of the state tax law, when he declared that Warren T. McCray had not yet publicly said what he would do with the law should he be elected governor. “Silence gives consent,” said Dr. McCulloch. “I call on Mr. McCray to tell what he means to do in regard to the Indiana tax law. What relief is there in sight for our overburdened taxpayers in case’ of Republican success? “The campaign has been opened and going ahead under full head of i steam for a month or more, yet the Republican candidate for governor is strangely silent on the subject of state issues. The people are of the opinion that there will be no relief ‘with a Republican administration next term. At least they want to know Mr. v McCray’s position. They want to know why a man who is a candidate for governor of Indiana spends four-fifths of his time discussing. national, affairs to the exclusion of subjects that effect the pocketbook of every citizen of this state. “If he does not rebuke the iniquities of the tax law —the cramping of dur charitable institutions and the extravagance of our various, commissions, including the state highway commission, it can only mean that he approves all that has been done. We want good roads, for example, but we want them economically constructed. Every automobile owner and every farmer ought to vote for Thomas Taggart. He has done more than any other one man to popularize and give impetus to the good roads movement, not only while he was in the United States senate, but before and after. He was instruntental in getting federal allotments to the state for this purpose."

A CHAPLAIN’S WAR MEDAL

Presented to President Wilson by Churches of Christ. Washington, D. C., Oct. 5. —President Wilson today received a chaplain’s war medal from the federal council of the Churches ot Christ in America as an “expression of appreciation by the churches of his distinguished service to the church and to the world through his leadership in winning the world war and bringing to the world the ideals embodied in the league of nations-” Secretary Baker received the medal on behalf of the president. Mr. Baker and Secretary Daniels and 1,600 Protestant chaplains who served in the army and navy during the war also received similar medals. The presentation was made by

Bishop William F. McDowell of the Methodist Episcopal church, a member of the council’s general committee of the army and navy.

TEACHERS LOSE RAISE FOR TERM

New Law Provides Increase but Bore No Emergency Clause. Mt Vernon, Ind., Oct 7. —Before a large audience of men and women voters Dr. Carleton" B. McCulloch, Democratic candidate for governor, told the school teachers how the legislature gave them a raise in salary, but was careful not to attach an emergency clause to the act thus preventing the teachers from getting the effect of the increase this year. "I want the teachers of Indiana who have been forced to sign contracts under the old law to get this: The second special session of the legislature passed house bill No. 553, which was approved' by the governor [Aug. 4, 1920. This law provides for Increase in the wages of every school 'teacher in Indiana. This law does ■not contain an emergency clause, therefore does not become effective until the issuance of the proclamation by the governor, declaring the ‘laws passed by the special session in full force and effect "Here Is a case where the legislature' has provided means of relief for the suffering school teachers of Indiana, and the Goodrlch-Watson-McCray combination is denying them the relief given by withholding the proclamation. "The governor knows that it is unlawful for a teacher to teach school until they have entered into a contract covering the full school term, and he further knows that the school, term begins in the early part of September of each year; therefore he - has by his act forced the teachers into a contract that is binding upon them for the school year, thus denying to them what is rightfully theirs.”
