Mothers Day Sunday. May 12th. will be "Mothers' Day," a day which has been set aside in honor of the best mother that ever lived your ow n. It is a high tribute to American manhood that the observance of this day is every year becoming more popular and to thousands of mothers the country over it is a day which brings a message than which none other could be more wel come. Governor Carey of Wy oming, in his Mothers' Day proc tarnation, said: ihe world realizes what is due her, and for that reason the earnest desiie has sprung up in our country and in other coun tries to have a Mothers' Day; a day which grateful sons and daughters may observe each year, lor ner honor and venera tion. Fortunately, the day chos en is in the spring the mother of the seasons. " Let the white carnation, de clared to be the emblem, be worn on that day. Let those who are away from home, if their mothers be still alive, send her an affectionate letter and some token of continuing love and respect If she be in need. with a good heart and willing hand send her something that will lighten her burden. If she has passed away, think of her, that her image may be more deeply impressed in a sweet memory of her. A Dark Horse? The News recently reproduced the picture of Justice Hughes, with the suggestion that he may prove to he a dark horse in the KepuDiican presidential race. Whether it is Justice Hughes or some other equally eligible man, there are many reasons at the present time why a compromise candidate might furnish the best solution of a tangled situation and it is not impossible that such may be the ultimate outcome of the convention next month buch a course might go far to save the dignity and political standing of both Taft and Roose velt and it would certainly do much toward uniting the Repuh can party at the election this Fall. However one may sympathize with President Taft for his ener getic reply to the charges brought by Colonel Roosevelt, it cannot be gainsaid that both Taft and Roosevelt have been led into a decidedly undignified situation and one that is unbecoming either a President or an ex-President of the United States. When one man who has been president and another man who occupies this high position hurry around from town to town and indulge in per Bonalities, it all suggests a hoy- ishness that is incompatible with the dignity of the high office of the greatest republic of the world. It makes the public in clined to believe that it might be the wisest thing to drop both candidates and to look elsewhere, There are many reasons why such a course might well be adopted. The subject is a sen ous one, not only looked at from the standpoint of a Republican who wishes his party to win, but as well from that of the whole people, who feel that the dignity of the office is not properly es teemed by the combatants. Church unity, as suggested by Bishop Paddock, is a subject which is being considered more and more seriously by those w ho regret the loss of strengnh which has resulted from the increasing divisions among the great body of Christian people. Greater uni nlty, in the church as elsewhere, Und for increased efficieny. The suggestion was made at the banquet the other night that some of Portland's blooming girls join hands with local bach elors in cultivating Hood River's orchards. The Upper Valley man who made the suggestion might have also recalled that it is leap year and that the burden of responsibility rests with the Portlanders. Governor West has taken the bit in his mouth and will compe the railroad to grant a suitable right of way for the Portland road, according to a dispath from Salem. While Hood River people will stand back of the Governor in this matter, it is their hope that no complications will delay this all-important undertaking. It is not surprising that Gov ernor West was impressed by the development in the Upper Valley during the past three years. That progressive section pos sesses the tremendous advan tage of having a class of intelli gent, energetic and loyal citizens to whom nothing is impossible. Conservative estimates are that at least 500 new Hood River boosters were secured by means of the Blossom Festival. GOL. HOFER PENS A HOOD RIVER POEM Col E.

While Colonel Hoft-r whs neateri In the Commercial Club nfter harlnur wit nexHed the wonderful lienutli-a of the valley the poetic uu Krauted Mm an lnoplratlon and he wrote the fol lowing graceful tribute to Hood River: TO HOOD KIVEIt (Dedicated to E.S.Smith, the pioneer fruitgrower) Bride of the Columbia that h weeps to the sea. Encircled with mountain, majestic and free; Thy rivers are foam-flecked, lmledded In gold. iprliiKtng pure from the glaciers. their waters are cold; The snowdrops are Mourning In the avalaDche path, Where the storm-king of yesterday scattered his wrath. O'er this regnant beauty looms a mountain tall, Where man's dominion ceases and the snows forever fall; Where peaches and apricots In exotic perfume Mingle rich odors with the straw berry bloom; Here alfalfa produces Its successive yields, And velvet-eyed Jerseys crop the green fields; Here forests of yellow pine towering rise Into soft baby blues of amethyst skies. Thy warm hospitality stretches Its hands To welcome the strangers to fruit laden lauds; Where orchards perennial an- foun tains of wealth Wreathing their owners with roses of health; Where beauty of womanhood and chivalry of men Surpass the conception of the m st gifted pen. COUNTY COURT HAS GRISTJFBUSINESS A number of matters were attend ed to by the county court at Its reg ular monthly session the last of the week. W. K. Cooper, who lost a horse which stepped Into a spring hole on the road at Van Horn, presented his claim aud was allowed f V) damages. It being found necessary to enlarge the county gravel pit at Belmont, an additional three-quarters of an acre was purchased for making the entire laud owned by the county two acres. Action was taken on the petition of A. Butts and others for a change In a road In the Oak drove district and the county surveyor was order ed to make a. survey In order that the court may take action. It tn-lng found necessary, a ix-tltlon was presented by I)r. Stanton Allen and asking for a new road starting from the corner of the Allen and Krl day property and extending south to meet the road past the lower station at Mohr's was granted and the sur vey was ordered made. A petition having leen presented. the suiervlsors were ordered to make the I'ost ('anon road passable for travel. Neat and natty Job printing quick- executed at the News office.
