MOTHER'S DAY.
"MOTIIEK"
"God thought to give the sweetest thing,
In His almighty power
To earth; and deeply pondering
What it should be, one hour
In fondest joy and love of heart
Out-weighing every other.
He moved the gates of Heaven apart
And gave to Earth a Mother."
Sunday, May 14th. is Mother's Day, a day
set apart wherein the Nation does homage to
Mother. How appropriate that in May is
Mother's Day Mav, that sweet month of
Spring when the birds fill the air with their
music as they build their Summer homes:
May, when the violets peep through the moss
and the tiny buds smile in the sunshine: Mav,
with its breatli of fragrance and new life and
hope. How appropriate that this glad month
should be the month wherein the Nation has
set aside one day for Mother.
A man can have but one sentiment in his
heart that responds to the word of Mother,
and on Mother's Day, when at evening you
have returned from your day's labor and your
thought turn to childhood times, the image
of Mother comes before you. and there's a cer
tain softening, mellowing feeling that comes
to you when you think of Mother, and many
of us feel like saying:
"Backward, turn backward, O time in your flight,
Make me a child again, just for the night."
Some who read this think of Mother as in
the "Mists Beyond," others know that Mother
is still with them in spirit and thought. Rem
ember Mother's Day, remember the Mother,
who, since she went down into the valley of
pain and returned with you a babe at her
breast, has always been for you, no matter
who turned against you: remember the Moth
er who will cherfully make any sacrifice for
you.
Sunday, May 14, is Mother's Day if you
cannot be with her in person, be with her in
thought. The emblem is a white carnation,
an emblem of purity: who would not wear
such an emblem for Mother? God bless her.
same car with Senator Proviicll and tatinh'
in IS')!, and our friendship dates four years
prior to that date. The Voter is in error when
it states that Senator Urownell made the nom
inating speech tor election of I . S. Senator
George . Mcliride. The nominating speech
was made by Hon. T. J. Cleeton, a member
of the lower house from Columbia county.
Senator lhownell is a gifted and eloquent
orator, no matter as to his subject. It his
audience is not with him, he will switch until
he has their whole attention.
His first public address in Oregon was a
Fourth of uly oration delivered in Clackamas
county, lie started out in the usual spread
eagle 'style and soared so high that only his
heels were in evidence. When he came back
to earth the audience were swapuig yams
Then he took up the miestion of good roads.
This listened well until is was ascertained that
good roads would cost money. Interest
failed and George threw the su it lu ll again.
At that time the maintenance of the Oregon
National Guard was being bitterly fought bv
taxpayers and granges generally. Iliounell
pictured them as "dudes, being dressed up
and fed at the expense of the taxpayers hoe
hard dollars were earned by the sweat of their
brow." This brought them up bv the boot
straps and the applause was long and up
rorious. Then George is a great camp-lire speaker.
He could bring tears to the eves of the old
soldiers in drops as large as peas. At a cer
tain camp fire he pictured the horrors of the
great Gettysburg battle, the dead and ding.
the widows and orphans in pathos and sob
words that would bring tears to a sphinx.
He said that when the news of the battle
reached his home, his mother placed her hand
on his head and said, "George, von have no
father now." His father was not killed nor
was he ever in the war, but that did not pre
vent George from making a tear-shattering
climax.
TAX LIMITATION AMENDMENT
READY.
The tax limitation amendment, which is to
be submitted to the voters of the state in
November through the State Taxpayers'
League, has been prepared and is now ready.
The committee appointed to draft the pro
posed amendment consisted of C. F.. Spence,
George Miller, 1. F. Daly and Robert E.
Smith. The draft was referred to Oswald
West and James li. Kerr for revision and they
have completed the measure as follows:'
Section XI of the Constitution of the state
of Oregon shall be and hereby is amended
by adding thereto the following section,
which shall be designated Section 11 of Article
XI: .-- - -
"SC-rlrnf- l'l-Unless specifically authorized
by a majority of the legal voters voting upon
the question, neither the state nor any coun
ty, municipality, district or body to which the
power to levy a tax shall have been delegated
shall in any year so exercise that power as
to raise a greater amount of revenue for pur
poses other than the payment of bonded in
debtedness or interest thereon than the total
amount levied bv it in the year immediately,
preceding for the purposes other than the
payment of bonded indebtedness or interest
thereon, plus six per centum thereof, pro
vided whenever any new county, municipal
ity or other taxing district shall be created
and shall include in whole or in part property
theretofore included in another county, like
municipality or taxing district, no greater
amount of taxes shall be levied in the first
year by such new county, municipality or
other taxing district on any such property
than the amount levied thereon in the preced
ing year by the county, municipality or dis
trict in which it was then included, plus six
per centum thereof; provided, further, that
the amount of any increase in levy specifi
cally authorized by the legal voters of the
state, or of a county, municipality, or other
district, shall be excluded in determining the
amount of taxes which may be levied in any
subsequent year.
Any indebtedness incurred by any county
in excess of the limitation prescribed by Sec
tion 10 of Article XI of this constitution and
any warrants for other evidences of any such
indebtedness and any part of any levy of taxes
made by the state or any county, munici
pality, or other taxing district or body which
shall exceed the limitations fixed hereby shall
be void.
SENSIBLE CONSERVATION
The attitude of the National Association of
Manufacturers, which has adopted a platform
for sensible conservation of American business
through a plan of cooperation between em
ployers and laborers in all lines of industry,
is in keeping with the trend of the time. Presi
dent Pope recently visited W ashington, and
he was given respectful hearing when he de
clared that the present is the best time of all
for capital and labor to forget some of their
old difficulties, and to combine against the
soap-box reformers. Colonel Pope has re
minded thinking people that they must get
busy and prepare to meet the vast economic
changes incident to the F.uropean upheaval.
He has no panaceas to offer, but he insists
verv vigorously that there should be a square
leal for American industry and American
labor, and he urges concurrent effort on the
part of all classes, irrespective of party, in
order that the L'nited States mav not only
reap the legitimate fruits of increased world
markets, but what is more important still
safeguard against the hazards of the future.
The essence of this appeal from the manufac
turers is that thinking people should "get to
gether" for the conservation of American industry.
Chas. P.. Moores is a Republican and has
always stood up for Republican principles. He
is a clean, honorable and upright gentleman
and worthy of the support of all Republicans,
lie is a candidate for secretary of state and
his opponent in Pen. W. Olcott. the present
incumbent. Mr. Olcott was first appointed
to that office by Gov. West, to-fill the un
expired term of Mr, .Hi-Tisc.n. deceased. Mr.
est w.is elected as a Democrat ami he ap
pointed Mr. Olcott to the office of secretary
of state in exchange for political services. Mr.
Olcott contributed $1500 to the campaign
fund to elect Mr. West, Democrat, over the
regular Republican nominee. This contribu
tion js a matter of record in the secretary of
state's office. Mr. Olcott may have changed
his politics to fit the occasion, but Republi
cans should take no chances but should sup
port Mr. Moores. When a man ipi-s bis best
influence and lots or his good money to de
feat the Republican nominee for the first office
in the state, we do not see how any voter
who claims to be a Republican, can support
him in the face of these facts.
Ye have received from the Anti-Saloon
League a report of the replies of legislative
candidates to questions sent out by that or
ganization regarding their stand on the dry
law. The reply sent in by the candidates
from this county are as follows: O. . Even
son: "Will support such measures as in Ins
judgment will make dry law permanent." A.
V. Mueller: "Will never vote 1o change ini
tiative of people relative to liquor issue." Mr.
Zipperer made no reply.
GEO. C. BROWNELL
The current issue of the Oregon Voter has
a very interesting write-up of Senator Brow
ncll, who is a candidate for the legislature in
Clackamas county. The Voter has Mr. Rrow
nell sized up true to life. It speaks of his
brilliancy, ready-wit, a picturesque debater and
n ruthless crossexamincr. The writer is par
ticularly interested in this article, as we came
from Kansas at the same time and in the
Four delegates will be elected to the Re
publican national convention. Columbia comi
ty will not overlook Hon. C. W. Fulton, the
Iriend of the Lower Columbia. C. If. Carey
of Portland, is also a safe man. Those fel
lows who are scraping their throats for Teddy
of the big stick, leave at home.
Two delegates to the Republican national
convention are to be elected in this congress
ional district. Hon. C. P. Hishon of Salem
is one of the foremost citizens of Marion coun
ty and stands a man among men. fe is a
safe man to tic to. You will make no mistake
m supporting him.
They can't take the tariff out of politics but
they can take the free-trade politicians out of
the tariffs and that's what the protectionists
propose to do in November.
As the free-trade population becomes more
scanty, American atmosphere becomes more
pure.
