PHILADELPHIA, May ITO
honor the best mother that. ever
lived-your mother.
This is the idea and the object OF
Mothers day, which will be OBJ
served in this country and in the
leading cities of Europe tomorrow.
A white flower is the emblem of
the day, the white representing
purity in all countries and all civ
ilizations, and the busy men and
women of the world are requested
on this day to wear the flower as
a mark of respect and love they
have for the mother who brought
them into the world.
The idea originated with Miss
Anna Jarvis of 1901 n. 18th street,
this city, and the anniversary which
the world will remember and OBJ
serve this year is the anniversary
of the death of Miss Jarvis
mother.
Grief over the death of her moth
er, Miss Jarvis says, brought to her
a realization of the sorrow which a
mothers death must always bring
to someone. And so she began her
campaign for a Mothers day, day
on which the mother of the world,
living or dead, would be honored.

FAITH in
REALTY VALUES
in SPOKANE

People have faith in Spokane
reality values.
This was demonstrated today
when number of lots in the school
section in East Spokane were sold
at nearly three times the appraised
valuation.
The property was sold at auction
by the county auditor at the court
house and bidding was spirited, lots
jumping up at $50 clips in many
instances. The highest price paid
was for lot block 60, unimproved
and appraised at $500. Bidding
was active on this lot and it was
finally knocked down for $1315.
Outside agriculture land also
sold for good prices. An 80 acre
tract near Cheney was appraised al
$4,000 and sold for 1880 in less
than five minutes after it was put
up at auction.

GEORGE NAY Be LAST
OF ENCLAND'S KINGS

LONDON. May 7.-When King
George took the oath of fealty this
afternoon at 4 o'clock the system
of monarchial government In Great
Britain went on trial for it's life.
Statesmen see in the national
gloom the outlines of a historic
crisis. Intermingled with the gen.
eral sorrow is a note of alarm that
cannot be allowed to go unheard.
The publicists admit that If King
George is not strong enough to set
tie the political crisis promptly, the
passing of the monarchy is within
the range of possibility.
King George faces grave ques-
tions at home and abroad and he
assumes his duties without losing
the love. respect and support that
his late father and his grand
mother. Queen Victoria. had to aid
them in political crises.
The views of King George are
known only in private, but the cab
met openly is not in sympathy with

the few that are known.
King George is confronted by
the problem of the fight against
the supremacy of the lords. which
has advanced to such a stage that
the stability of the house of lords
itself is threatened.
The new king must face grave
continental questions which are
the outgrowth of the anti-British
feeling manifest in Germany. One
of King Georges best known char.
acteristics is his we'll known anti.
German sentiment.
England and Germany have en-.
gagged in a race for the future con
troll of the seas and leadership
among the nations of the old world
King Edward VII, while support
ing the general idea of competition
with Germany, has succeeded In
holding back anti-German senti
ment and obtaining in Germany a
similar condition tending to hold
in check animosity between the
two countries.

| am decidedly In favor Of equal
rights and equal opportunity and
one moral code for all, one law of
justice that applies to human be-
ings regardless of sex. One-half of
the race making laws to govern the

how men came into this right and

always been mystery to me. ]
would like to ask the question: Who
is doing the most effective work in
elevating the character of our pub
lie schools; cleaning, improving
and identifying our cities, and
working for the uplift of our young
people? 1t is safe to say there are
three women to one man working
for these results. The fact that
women are progressing in the bust
ness world and are proving them
selves capable Of holding RESPONSE
BILE positions proves to ME that If
they were given the ballot they
would prove themselves capable of
assisting in the government of our
country. Many business man has
for his secretary a woman, with
whom he consults in his business
transactions and in whose judg-
ment he relies. Women are urged
to bring up their sons to be patri.

country places women on an equal

country will never be what they
should be until man and woman
shall have an equal hand in their
making. Respectfully. Mrs. Alton
