HUMAN RECKLESSNESS.
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,

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

many millions throughout the nation.
without regard to creed, class, race
or nationality wore the white flower

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. Exchange.
