The fearful disaster reported from Pittsburg of the death of a score of hard-working mechanics from drown ing from a launch that was plainly over-crowded, is but another express ion of the readiness of the average, sensible human , to take ridiculously . ricirt 'for no apparent ad- vantage. We, of the lower Columbia, bia. year after year, are called upon nn manv drownincs among the hardy fishermen who take almost ab surd risks on every flood tide that . s- vrt Hnrina the season; but HUH, U CT - , their daring work is done with a view to accomplishing something mat, nn mnst renerons accounting, may be of definite advantage, such as the securing of a better position of a net or the meet ;. nf n influx of salmon on their ir.,n the river, or anv other semi- rational hypothesis, but oftener than not, the risks taken oy our men, just as hazardous and non-compen that of the Pittsburg work men who swarmed 30 feet in a boat that was not built for more than half One-tenth of the 1909 season has a Thi-r, are still 88 days left; and for once the hope is abroad, with some show of realization, that we .v.n ! the lone and dismal sua,, " listing of deaths that usually falls our way. The percentage of motor boats in the craft has a tendency to reduce the element of danger some k M there is a crowing indina tn . more caution generally. at all points on the rivsr here, super induced, perhaps, by the long and useless fatalities that have at last made an impression pn the salmon There are still a good many of the men who will not hesitate to measure their lives with a boat-load n ulmnn- hut. in the main, it is held by those nearest to the industry, that far more care will be taken ana tnai tt, nrrmium usually oaid m the ven ture will not run as high as it has in the past. It is time there was a subsidence of the daring. MOTHERS' DAY. FATHER AND WIDOW, LAW, CEMENT AND GRAVEL, ALL. MIXED UP. ' use their influence for the national observance of Mothers Day and the nvitation has been renewed this vMf. a With onlv a few weeks campaign ing, the initial observance of this unique memorial day in honor of the mother's of America was a positive success. It received the general ana unpuatified endorsement, and support of the press throughout the country. Fraternal and other organizations tnok u n the idea with enthusiasm and many millions throughout the nation. without regard to creed, class, race or nationality wore the white flower the emblem of purity and fidelity on Mothers Day. une minion mem bers of the Modern Woodmen of America, 50,000 members of the Baraca societies, the Royal Arcanum councils in Nebraska, and 175.000 PhilaHrlnhia mihlic school children. the World's Sunday School Associa tion, the Grand Army of the Republic the Sons of the Veterans ot the United .States Armv and a host of other organizations gave official rec ognition of the day- Prom thousands of nuloits sermons and addresses were delivered in honor of "our! mothers." Todav the observance of Mothers' Day will be vastly more general than it was last year, for the reason that the campaign in its favor has covered a longer period and the sentiment in it favor has taken deeper root in the hearts of the people. The wear ing of a white Bower is a model ot imnticitv. but a beautiful and tender means of paying homage to the mother, if living, or tribute to ner revered memory if dead- The white flower should be strongly in evidence hereafter.
