MAKING GOOD.

It is a matter of widespread belief
that u man in the west has greater
opportunity for making good in the
struggle for success than in any other
section of the United States. The man
who had been a failure under the pc
culiar economic conditions of the cast
frequently developed in brain. indus
try. and character. for he was given
a fair chance to prove his worth. He
was compelled by the very forces OF
nature about him to stand or his own
fect, and if he overcame them. he
was not asked many questions. for
nobody had time to he inquisitive. or
cared to risk being asked emharrass-
ing questions in turn.
To a considerable extent the west
has changed as it has grow up. but
that the old spirit prevails is shown
by a recent statement of the Rev. DR..
John T. Stone of Chicago. He said:
"1n Boston one is asked, What
does he know In New York it is.
What does he GET in Philadelphia.
Who was his grandfather In Chi

FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1912.
MOTHERS DAN.

Next Sunday a nation will pay
tribute to mother. What called the
day into being or what gave the inn
petus to the use of the flower as the
token of devotion to the noblest in
fluencc in the life of man, need not
concern us. The day has been set
apart as one devoted to reverence at
the shrine of she who gave us life.
4 gentleman of this city some time
ago in talking of his mother. de-
scrihed the methods she had used tn
direct the curse of her boys in after
life. She was one of those angels
on earth who was comrade n friend
for her children. Whenever she
heard or read of some man who had
gone astray. she talked freely about
it with her boys. But instead OF
lecturing Thorn or saying. you had
better never let mo hear of YOU doing
such IA thing" she would remark.
'how much would I be hurt if that
We're my bow" The influence of that
mother has been like bread cast upon
the waters.
There may he-in fact. there arc
instances there motherhood fails to
measure up ven to its opportunities.
But these only prove the rule. Dis
carding them. mother can receive the
silent tribute next Sunday that he
longs to her because of wha She has
done for those to whom she holds
thai hallowed relation. From the time
when the first cry of infancy aroused
her soul to its passion Of maternal
love until the misty Veil of eternity
separates her in death from those to
whom she ave life. her life is not
hers but her children's. The loving
care she gave in infancy. the loyal
devotion in youth and the sublime
faith in maturity are the snnbursts
Of that love which has its source in
the eternal universe nf God. Mother
hood is heaven brought to earth.
Who that has seen the flag lowered
from its staff at the sunset gun and
seer the soldiers salute the emblem
Of the nation as the band played the

In his soulo BY the same token will
