Borah. and Senator Watson of Indiana received one vote each. Theodore Roosevelt was second In the list of probabilities for second place ob* the ticket. T N THIS connection it is Interesting * and perhaps surprising to read the statement made by former Gov. W. L. Harding of lowati the Republican national committee, to the effect that the farmers of the Midwest are solid in support of the federal farm board and of President Hoover's farm relief policies. This. Mr. Harding says, he learned in conversation with •thousands of farmers In my own and nearby states." He declared the Democratic seed of discontent has fallen on barren soil, and continued. The ■

American farmer today is selling his wheat at 20. to 30 per cent more- than the fanner across the border in Canada. His corn is bringing 30 cents per bushel more than in the Argentine. The Republican tariff and the farm board—both of which the Democrats would destroy—are responsible for this advantageous condition.’’ 1C IXG PRAJAI>HI * pok of Siam, ac--1 companied by ■ Queen 1 Rambaf I’-arni and : her parents, made his , official visit to WashK jf j ington during the | week.

It would permit ministers to remarry communicants and divorced persons whose fitness had been approved. eliminate all mention of ground for divorce and remarriage.

and defining nine eausea for annulment. , A commission of the Presbyterian church, deploring the increasing divorce rate, given its approval to birth control practiced only “in fidelity to the highest spiritual ideals of the Christian home,” and suggests the establishment of courses of" instruction in marriage.

The present land system, he said, is unjust and a burden to trade and industry, and direct taxation, of land values would prove a remedy. He proposed to. 4‘t up machinery for national valuation, which probably would take two years. When the valuation Is completed the tax would be one penny per pound on .the capital value. Laborites and Liberals cheered w ildly. but the Conservatives sat glumly silent. The latter will oppose the. ! scheme, and it wiil be fought in the l house of lords, but if the Labor party can continue in power it may be put ! through. As for the present budget.

The pope declares that the Fascist regime must apply Itself “only to matters which are in the comj»etency of ’the state,” and that while the Anzlone Cattoiica must abstain from political activities. Rs members “cennot be prevented from having a spiritual part in such political activities as are intended to procure trie greatest good for the multitude. Since the Fascist state maintains that it is Catholic, it becomes plain that it must obey the church and its head of it wishes to be truly Catholic, and accept what the pope and the church say about the Anrione Cattoiica.” ’

OILVER has sunk so low In price, the ratio in relation to gold being now about 60 to 1, that many jxersohs think something should be done about it. Four senators are out to discover what this something may be. They are the members of the senate foreign relations subcommittee

<>n commercial relations with China. The chairman. Key Pittman of Nevada. has just started for China, and will be joined there by Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, who is on a trip to the Philippines. Claude Swanson of Virginia and Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota will soon sail for Europe. Pittman and Vandenberg will investigate the possibility of a loan of some of the treasury's surplus silver bullion to the Nationalist government of China for coinage. Swanson and Shipstead will consult with political and economic leaders of Europe concerning a possible international conference on a plan to suspend the practice of demonetizing silver coins and disposing of them as bullion. Both these ideas were presented to the President in two resolutions by the senate, but Mr. Hoover made no response. (£. I*ll. Wartara Navspapar Vnioa.) .

All Nations Pay Tribute to “Mother” Mother's day is the one day in the rear when every real man or woman, boy or girl, should pay tribute to the “best mother in the whole world.” - Millions of people in America, Europe, Asia and Africa observe the day set apart by a Pennsylvania woman, Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, whose idea has grown into an international demonstration for “Mother.” Following the Civil war, every day ! was “Mother’s day’’ for Mrs. Anna Jarvis, the founder of the day of observance. Mrs. Jarvis xvas the daughter of a minister and in her efforts to alleviate the* suffering caused by the xvar. she toiled almost day and night in the interest of widows and orphans, left bereaved by the holocaust of strife xvhich had swept over the land, and dependent upon the bounty of more fortunate neighbors for sustenance. In later years. Miss Anna Jarvis, following the Work of her mother, conceived the idea that the heart of every mother would be gladdened if. on some particular day. she could be" assured of receiving a personal message, or flower, or some o’L.-r little token of love from her loved children. Date Fixed by Miss Jarvis. The resul’ xvas the founding of “Mother’s day" and as the late spring is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. Miss Jarvis arbitrarily fixed the second Sunday in May as the official date for this observance. Tentatively launched as a purely local event, the idea spread to other sections of Miss Jarvis’ home state, Pennsylvania, and from there became an interstate affair, eventually becoming a nationally observed date. From America It spread to South America, across the borders into Canada and Mexico and thence across the seas to Europe, Asia and Africa.' And today the teachings for the observance of this tlay dedicated to “the best mother in the workl —your mother.” are being disseminated in every continent on the globe. Miss Anna Jarvis, the founder, while in Washington on business connected with the celebration.-was asked for an interview on the founding of this day. She submitted the following, taken from the Congressional Record, in which It was printed by unanimous consent: “It is doubtful if any movement of the times, in the way of a celebration, has such a strong and lasting apireai

Statute That Provides for Official Observance of Day That Is Mother s

Following is the wording of the law passed by congress for the celebration of Mother's day: ‘'Whereas, the service rendered the United States by the American mother is the . greatest source of the country's strength and inspiration; and, “Whereas, we honor ourselves and the mothers of America when we do anything to give emphasis to the home as the fountain head of the state: and, “Whereas, the American mother Is doing so much for the home, the moral uplift and religion, hence so much for good government and humanity ; therefore be it “Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled. That the President of the United i States is hereby authorized and re- ; quested to issue a proclamation calling upon the government officials to display the United States flag on all gov- i ernment buildings, and the people of the United States to display the flag

to persons of all races, creeds and classes as has the Mother’s day celebration. ‘lt is the most universal of all of our celebrations, for all of our relig.l ious and patriotic observances are n<>t without prejudice of some class, race or creed. “The word ‘mother’ is the most potent of all words, wherever the foot of civilization has left its imprint. “This Mother's day is not an idle sentiment. It is a great constructive movement of international interest. It is now celebrated annually around the globe. “The people on the boardwalks of Honolulu and Atlantic City, and Australia on the other side of the globe, are just as enthusiastic for Mother's day as any places one might mention.” Honored in Army and Navy. In the American army and pavy Mother’s day is celebrated xvith tender enthusiasm by officers and men alike. Indeed, this celebration is

Mother’s Only Wages the Love of Her Children This is the age of medals. A man without a med; I of some sort is a misnomer. If a boy fly across the ocean, xve give him a medal. If a sprinter run faster than any other human, xve strike off a medal. If a patriot hare his breast to tin bullets of the enemy, xve cover his coat xvith medals. Pay is too paltry for hbroes. But what pay does mother get? She toils day and night without reward. Her xvork is never done. And at tliat it is the only xvork in the World that does not have the wages. I' ■ ■ ' Mother never raised Theinistocles; she Just raised os. She never ruled Russia with a rod of iron, like Catherine; she just ruled father and us—ami never let us know iu She was never the queen of any country, like Elizabeth, not even the queen.of the May; but she was queen in the heart of her home. And we really cared more for the queen mother than for all the queens of earth. Scotland max well sky. “An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.”—Los Angeles Times.

at their homes or other suitable places on the second Sunday in May as a public expression of our kove and reverence for the mothers of our country. "Section 2. That the second Sunday in May shall hereafter be known as Mother's day. and It shall be the dnty of the President to request its observance as provided for in this resolution.” (Approved May 8. 1&14.) Other countries have taken up this lovely custom and during the war France sent American mothers a card, beginning: “Our hearts are with you American mothers in the day set apart to consecrated motherly love and the sweet name of mother, the most beautiful after the name of God.” The white carnation is used, a flower difficult to obtain on account of the great demand for them on the day. Having hitherto been obliged to wear scraggy, ragged ones. I shall this year try to engage,some fresh white carnations beforehand. Those who are so happy as to have

thought to be of great benefit to th A morale of the enlisted men. Certainly it is a cherished occasion. Nothing but ' good can come from the observance of any special occasion that gets a man doser to the heart of a good ■ mother through his letter, or visit, or other remembrance of home. Nothing but good can come from setting apart one day of the year it» the army and navy, in our homes. In I our official and business life, and in ■ the life of the whole nation to pay tribute to the memory of the beloved - mothers and fathers who have gone before or to show grateful affection to the living. - Worthy of Remembrance. Our American homes are the glory of our nation. Our mothers who gave to the nation lives they loved more than their own—the lives c* their beloved sons, husbands, brothers, or other dear ones—are our inspiration. | One day of the year for rernem- ! brance of their sacrifices, their fidel- . ity. their deeds, is not indeed a day lost. • Any movement that deepens home ties, that inspires better national life, that makes better sons and daughters is Indeed constructive. Far be it from any thought of maudlin sepfiment. Ami yet •sentiment’’ is part of the best ami most gracious and ennobling things of life, especially that sentiment which clirigs to the words •■mother” and “home." One of the Mother’s day celebration features is "home going" am) “writing home.” Not any person is too poor or busy at least to write a message home. Legislative Approval. It will ever be to the glory of Ameri lea that the first legislation for the i general display of the American flag as a custom was a resolution that .Miss ' Jarvis succeeded some years ago in getting congress to pass. Through this resolution it is now the custom for Old Glory to be displayed annually on Mother s day (Sunday) from all publk buildings, schools, and other suitable places. It hardly seems possible that Miss Jarvis would Undertake more work, hut she is planning the erection of a tribute to the mothers and homes of America in Washington. This monument will be one that will remind you and me of the "motliers of our hearts.” and ft should t|je a tribute that will make the strange, of foreign lands who may visit the 4’apital city think that American homes and mothers are the nation’s idol. This monument will not be for what some persons may call “great mothers." nor for women seeking greatness through some ancestral line, but for - your mother and mine.—Washington Star.

a mother living should present her with Howers or write to her on that day.—Marion Holmes, in the Chicago Daily News. Motherhood "Womanliness means only motherhood. All love begins and ends there.” —Robert Browning. > i - One Mother’* Faith Moses was not long under the influence of that courageous mother who dared to defy the command—i yet when one seeks to discover how . that he, “when grown up, could refuse to be called the son of Pharaoh's ! daughter; and could choose rather to share ill treatment with the people of , God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;” —one must look to the faith Ox his mother. Day’* Real Significance No mother really needs to have a day set apart in reminder of her noble place in life. The chief happiness it affords is the opportunity which affection finds for active expression of aa i abiding sentiment.
