PRoHIBITIoNIsTs BUSY
Temperance Party to Make Effort to
Create Sentiment in Wisconsin

Wisconsin prohibitionists do not pro-
pose to hide their light under a bushel
this year when it comes to campaign
ing. Careful preliminary work for a
greater showing than ever has been in
preparation since last November. A
constant stream of letters has been go
ing out to the faithful Counties have
re-organized, funds have been raised,
meetings have been held and literature
bearing directly on the political fight
against the liquor traffic has been is
sued in quantities.
But the real campaigning of the com
mittee will begin in dead earnest on
April 90 when Oliver w. Stewart, the
greatest field worker of the prohibition
reform and probably the candidate for
presidency in 1912, will begin a series
of twenty four meetings in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Stewart s first date will be in
the Methodist church at Burlington, on
Friday afternoon, April 20, at 2 o clock.
He will then visit twenty-three other
places, speaking in one place in the
afternoon and another in. the evening.
At Milwaukee he will address an af-
ternoon meeting in Lincoln Hall at 2:30
o'clock on Sunday, May /. Mr.. Stew
art s engagement will be partially
paralleled with short. ones by Eugene
W. Chain, presidential candidate for
1908, who begins operations on May 2
Mr. Chain is native of Wisconsin
and known from one end of the state
to the other. He made a great name
for himself in 1908 as an orator and
leader. Few men have kept them
selves in the lime light so constantly
and creditably as Chain. He is
man of intense earnestness, of I'M
daunted courage and capable of the
most strenuous work. His trip to
Wisconsin will be confined to the south
ern part of the state

Proclamation

Sunday, May s, is Mothers Day.
On this day every Woodman should
wear a white flower in honor of his
Mother and write her letter. It is
highly proper that this day should be
set apart in the Modern Woodmen of
America for a special service in honor
of the greatest single force in the
world-Mother. It is most fitting
that our society, embodying, as it does,
the very life and spirit of the home
and its blessed ties, should commem-
crate this day. No man, however
learned or renowned, however famed
or honored, should permit the spirit or
environment Of his great achievements
to dull his sense of increasing obliga-
tion to the one who gave him birth.
No man of wealth or poverty, no man
of business or profession, no man in
any station of life can allow either
the depressing perplexities or the en-
ticing allurements Of his career to les
sen his just estimate of the unsatisfed
debt he owes to his Mother, or to weak
en- his desire for her love and bene-
diction. That there may not be a day
set apart in this country for other
members Of the family cannot, with
balanced men, shadow the glory of
" Mother s. Day" How glad will be
the multitudes to be privileged on this
second Sunday in May to lift toiling
hands, anxious faces, and heavy hearts
from the trying task of life and turn
again to Mother, whose smile or nod
of assent is the fountain of inspira-
tion and courage, the anchorage of hope
and life, and for day live over again
those hours, when communion with her
shaped the course and directed the
career Of the boy who now is a man.
How very like the hanging of the fruit
age to the vine do the hopes and pur-
poses, the progress and influences Of
our life cluster about that one per-
son-Mother. With her there was
but one great thought, reaching from
the beginning of her boys life on to
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1910-04-28

eternity, and that thought was how
best with her love and tears she might
make sure and smooth his path through
all the way. No influence in the
worlds progress exeels that of the
world S Mothers. The great achieve
ments of men in business, in states
manship, in the professions, in litera-
ture, in poetry, in song and art are
traceable to the controlling spirit and
influence of a good Mother. 1t was
her life in another form glorifed in
the triumphs of her boy. Her>meas-
urements pointed the way.
Turn moment and look across the
years we have come. She caressed
the boy at her knee, she nourished him
until he had strength to stand and pratt
tie at her side; she watched over and
protected him from harm while under
her care, and when he went out into
the big world a man, her sustaining
love followed and even ran ahead: she
rejoices in his success. His benefits
are her delights; she weeps at his mis-
fortunes; ,she shares his trials and busi-
ness depressions; she stands by him in
adversely, and should he go wrong it
is Mother who cannot believe he has
done evil Friends may turn their
backs, and acquaintance may condemn.
but her love and faith surpasses all
things; so that no matter what others
may think, say or do, she clings to her
boy with devotion unmatched. The
recollection of such untold svmpathv
and sacrifice is a great restraint to vice
and strong impulse to virtue. She
brought the calm in the storms and
tempests of our little lives; her touch
was the healing balm for every hurt;
her leadership is without parallel.
In memory of such an one, and in
the spirit of our great work as a So
ciety, 1 hereby proclaim Sunday, the
eighth day of May, 1910, to be
Mothers Day in the Modern Woodmen
of America, and request of all mem
bers its due and proper observance.
May the reflection of this day make us
bigger and better men. May the
homes of our vast membership be
brighter, stronger and happier because
of the influences that this occasion
shall bring.
If our Mother is nearby, or within
a reasonable distance, let us make a
special effort to call upon and visit with
her and show our growing appreciation
of her influence on our lives. If we
are far from her home, let US write her
a genuine letter, expressing some com
forting message that shall in part COM
pensate for her great sacrifice in our
behalf. Those of us whose Mother has
passed to her rest, in her sweet mem
DRY let us place the white flower upon
her grave, or if so situated that we
cannot thus honor her memory let us
recall her virtues and beautiful life
and thus receive new courage, and
increased faith.
On this day let the significant flow
er of white and the pure love of
Motherhood fill our lives with a new
and stronger spirit of courtesy, gen
erosity, patience, kindness and service
toward our fellowmen. Fraternally
