MOTHERS DAY
PROCLAMATION
Sunday, May 18th Set Apart As A
Day Of Honor to Mothers.

Whereas, the cycle of the seasons
has once more brought US to the
spring-tide, giving me the pleasurable
opportunity of again calling the at
tention of the people of South Dakota
to the beautiful custom of setting
apart one day in each year as Moth
ers' Day." and
Whereas, We we'll realize and ap-
preciate the fact that only the church
and state but the very nation itself is
formed in and grows out of the midst
of the home; that If our home life is
pure, simple and worthy, and the
household government temperate and
judicious. then indeed are the hopes
of the commonwealth builded upon a
foundation firm and imperishable.
Further, we realize that within the
limits of the home the mother is the
omnipotent power, bending the twig
as she wills it to incline, shaping the
plastic wing as it unfolds and devel-
ops, making plain the path Of duty
and wisely interpreting the code of
an honorable life,
Now, Therefore, in appreciation of
the illimitable debt we owe to our
mothers, l, r. S. Vessey, governor of
the state of South Dakota, do hereby
request that Sunday, May IA, 1911 he
observed throughout the entire state
as Mothers Day." and urge that all
persons be in attendance at church on
that day wearing a white carnation
as a symbol of the true mothers vir-
tues.
Done at the capitol in the city of
Pierre, this 18th day of April A. ID.

WILL STAND ACQUITTED.

On the great day of account it will
be found, that men have erred more
in judging of the honesty of others
than in any one thing else, not. even
religion excepted. Many who have
been condemned and had the stigma
of dishonesty fixed upon them because
misfortune disabled them from pay
ing their just debts will stand acquit-
ted by the Judge of the quick and dead
while others cover dishonest hearts
and actions undetecUed by man. 1t
is our earnest desire to eradicate the
impression so fatal to many a young
man, that one cannot live by being
perfectly honest. You must have
known men who have gone on for
years in unbroken prosperity and yet
never adopted that base motto, "All
is fair in trade" You must have seen
too noble examples of those who have
met with losses and failures, and yet
risen from them all with conscious
integrity, and who have been sustain
ed by the testimony of all around
them, that though unfortunate, they
were never dishonest. When we set
before you such examples when we
show you, not that Honesty is the
best policy" but that it is the very
keystone of the whole arch of manly
and christian qualities, it cannot be
that every ingenious heart does not
respond to the appeal. Heaven grant
all such to feel that an Honest man
is the noblest work of God" and to
| live as they feel.

A man who has made happy home
for his wife and children, no matter
what he had not done in the way of
achieving wealth and honor; If he has
done that he is grand success. If
he has not done that, and it is his own
fault, though he be the highest in the
land, he is q most pitable failure. We
wonder how many men in mad pur-
suit of gold, which characterizes the
age, realize that there is no fortune
which can be left to their families as
great as the memory of happy home.
IL is natural and right that a moth
er should wish to see her daughter
we'll educated and even highly accom-
plished; and it is mistake that good
and careful education should unfit
girl for the homely duues of cooking,
dusting and general housework. On
the contrary, those duties would be
better performed if mothers would at
the same time that they seek talented
instructors for their daughters, i'm
part to them some of their own culi-
nary talent; there would be more
good wives and marriages.
=
Whenever young women begin try
ing to fit themselves for wives then a
new social era will begin to dawn.
There will be more happy homes lees
poverty, fewer divorces and better
moral atmosphere. There is a great
deal of room for men to improve in
the same line. Comparatively few
men have definite ideas in regard to
the home life they expect to live. If
they do picture such thing, they fol-
low the outlines traced by some SEN
timental novelist. II is an impossible
sort of place, in which he irstalls an
angel. Nectar takes the place of cof-
fee and the bread plate is filed with

What can equal a mothers love for
the boy? You boys have grown up
from tender babies under a mothers
watchful care. All, boys, how many
heartaches do you cause that dear old
mother! Do you realize the world of
affection in a mothers heart? What
joy can you have in her sorrow?
What pleasure in her pain? Stop, my
lad, and think of your mothers heart.
You have it in your power to make it
glad, or make it sad. Let your heart
warm to hers as it did when babe
in her arms. Kindly stroke the gray
hairs on her head and assure her that
in your heart there is seated a deep
and lasting love and reverence forher.
Rascally and scoundrelly people for
the most part come from iniquitous
homes, from undisciplined homes.
Parents harsh and cruel on the one
hand, or on the other hand, loose in
their government-wickedly loose in
their government-are raising up a
generation of vipers. A home where
scolding and fretfulness are dominat-
ed is blood relation to the gallows and
the jail. Petulance is serpent that
crawls up in the family nursery some
times and crushes everything. Why,
there are parents who even make re-
ligion disgusting to their children.
They scold them for not putting in all
their leisure time at church or some
church gathering. They have an ex-
asperating way of doing their duty.

Slight PROGRESS MADE
ON LEE STREET bridge
May Require Full Tine to
Complete 1t

Work done thus far on the Lee street
bridge tends to indicate that it will
probably require all of the ninety days
noted in the contract for the compile
ton of the structure.
It will be recalled that the rebuilding
of the bridge was begun about three
weeks ago. to be exact, about October
10. Up to date but little has been
done on the job outside of tearing
away the old structure, while not all
of this has been completed 1t will be
seen from this that there is still very
much work to be done.
If the full period allowed in the con-
tract is consumed in completing the
bridge, the work will continue until
January 10. AS a great many of the
preparations necessary before the
work commences have already been
completed, it is likely that the work
will proceed very satisfactorily after
it has been gotten under way.
One of the main troubles being eX-
perienced is the securing of adequate
labor to carry the work on as rapidly
as had been hoped for Mr.. Craft
the contractor, said before he com
menced the work that there would
likely be a handicap in this particular

of the best men in this section OF the
country at any distance from two miles
up to twenty five. will certainly be missed
in athletic circles in both Washington
and Baltimore. He has always been
among the first to finish in distance
events. and his name on an entry list
was always an added attraction. az it
meant that the winner would have to do
some real running to come out ahead.

consider the matter and not lay his run

will be held instead. Members Of the

Jack Sterrct's vault of IL feet 6 inches

and neceSstating several stitches being
taken in order to get him in shape. Had
it not been for this accident Jack might

in this event in both 1909 and 1910. ana
