How About the Mother?
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.

Newspaper Poet
A Ration this week learned with deep , regrot
that Prank L. 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-

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.
