We have just read about the congressional honors heaped upon a North Carolina mail for his distinction in being the father of 34 children. . He was feted, introduced on the floor of the house and to the president. His achievement, it is'reported, drew an appreciative smile from even the sober- masked White House executive who congratulated him on his many blessings. A paragraph stated that a former representa tive from Carolina bad bought the.father 14 suits of clothes after promising a naw suit for each child bom after the twentieth. • But what about the mother? While it would seem she was entitled to the glory for raising the troop of children, her name was not even mentioned i^ the papers. No gallant statesman rose to honor her by lengthy eulogy -in the Congressional Record. While the father was wearing new clothes and preening himself aftpr the fashion of the male pea cock, it is safe to wager that the mother was en gaged in the arduous task of managing her house hold. It may have been she Was engaged in cutting down some of those suite furnished the father to outfit little Willie. ', Although there w eren o highsounding praises from statesmen, no tribute in the press, it is pretty sure to be a fact that the mother is appreciated by those who know her best, it is easy to believe that rite has at least 34 admirers in her own family.

Stanton, newspaper poet and pong writer of Atlaqta, was dead. During his more than . 40 years of newspaper writing p e contributed many lilting lines and lullabys and ^harminp melodies of pathos and humor. It is perhaps'trne that he did not equal Stephan Foster in the number of his enduring vertes, no< in , grace and beauty of line did he vie with the poet o f’the Sierras, Joaquin Miller. Stanton’s lines were simple, evidently written with leisurely ease, but interpreting the hearts of the southern people. He expressed the peouKar life of the old plantation, the character of the South ern Negro, .reflecting the ,dtofy of life , in crooning rhythm that echoed long in the memory of his re&d- What Others Say | . ' ‘ hl his great volume of everyday verse some lines stand out with a beauty and lingering pathofc or humor likely to make them long .endure« In that list we would place, along with other versee of “ Mighty Dak a Rose:** * “ t T I ri a. of Looking at Ilia his mavnTfritf mammy, 'With eyee so shiny blue, > ' Makes you think that heaven Is coining close to yon.” Songs and verses of the south have a unique appeal outside the sunny section which gave them inspiration. They' have a character or heart ex pression which charm and entertain even those en tirely unfamiliar with the life of the people in those southern states where th ey originated. SO VRRY, VXRY TRUB There arc no idle words where chilrden ara Things spoken in their hearing carry far, Producing fruit of evil or of good To our great future humdn brotherhood. The word dropt lightly from our careless lips Into the fertile child mind seeps and drips,* And intertwines with tho’t and impulse so It may decide the path some soul shall go! The eager cliiki mind may not know it hears, The words may fall upon unwitting ears; But nathless the record’s graven deep; Subconscious a copy clear will keep. So speak not tho’tlessly when they are by; Your wonls fall not on sterile soil or dry. Tho’ta sown in plastic minds are carried far; There are no idle words where children are. —Exchange.
