Sensible Women Know
Foundation Of Health

AS health talks to women become
more general, both in the newspapers
and on the platform, the mass of wo-
men are beginning to realize what the
more cultivated have always known,
that good health cannot be found in
a powder box. The externals of
health may be obtained in that way
but the basis of health lies deeper,
and yet is Just as easily obtained.
The most important thing that a
woman can do for herself, and about
which she is often most neglectful, is
to watch the condition of her stomach
and bowels. The weary eyes, the bad
breath, the frequent headaches. the
pimples, the general air of lassitude

constipation or indigestion. or both.
Many simple remedies can. be OBJ

of most women is DR. Caldwell's Sydup

taste and exactly suited 10 her needs.

The newspaper notices had been

were observances of Mothers Day in

THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

The difficult thing for the layman
to determine is how much of the po-
litical news he reads is founded on
fact and how much Is merely cam
paign publicity. A great deal of the
matter published is founded on facts
and certain portion is printed at
so much per, either in dollars and
cents or in enthusiasm for the cause
that is to be promoted by the publ
cation. Newspapers get to be known
as organs for this or that candidate
and for this or that issue and people
take them and read them to strength
en- the faith that is in them.
1t was something more close to the
truth than casual reading of the
witticism would indicate when Presi-
dent Taft told the members of the
Associated Press that THE truth is
not in you but between you." and that
you neutralize each other and thus
save the country" 1t is a common
observation 10 nave reputable ana
intelligent citizen say, 81 found l had
to take The to get the news
wanted. The (naminC his
regular paper) only prints one side"
There is a growing field for the in
dependent newspaper-the one that
prints both sides and from legiti-
mate news standpoint, and let's the
reader draw his own conclusions. The
days of the party and personal organs
are fast passing. The people want
the news, the unbiased news and in
the end will come to patronize the
newspaper, the real newspaper in
distinction to the publication that
exists for the sole purpose of pro-
noting certain political doctrine or
the interests of a certain candidate
or group of candidates.
The Independent voter is more and
more in evidence. The results in re-
cent elections show this. The voters
of the country are tired of having
their political ideas ready made
their candidates hand picked" and
their issues hand sorted" and put up
'labeled" and ready to be used with
directions on the bottle" There is
a growing number of voters who want

THE UNPLEDGED DELEGATES
WILL CONTROL


The uninstructed delegates to the
national conventions are going to be
in a strong position to dictate the
nomination if neither of the candi.
dates has majority sufficient t.
nominate on the first ballot. In the
democratic convention with It's re-
quired two-thirds majority to nomi-
nate it is now certain that neither OF
the leaders will have the required
strength and the unpledged delegates
will be in position to say who shall
be the nominee.
The situation in the republican
convention is very similar except that
the unpledged delegates will have an
easier time to control because less OF
them will be needed to furnish the
required majority. 1t now seems GER
tain that the state of New York alone
will hold the key to the situation.
New York has So votes that go II
the convention unpledged and 1t
seems now that with this voting
strength the New York delegation
will be able to name the republican
standard bearer at the Chicago con-
vention.
New York is a pivotal state in ma
tional elections and no candidate can
hope to win without the electoral
vote of the Empire State. nor will any
candidate be nominated at Chicago
who does not have the New York
vote. With this strength, and natural
potential position, the delegation will
be in a position to dictate the nomi-
nation regardless of what has been
done in preferential and other prima-
ries.
After all that has been said and
done the issue that will appeal to the
soberminded delegates when they get
out of the hurrah stage at Chicago
will be to name not only candidate
but to name candidate that has the
best chance to win. and place him on
a platform that will carry the largest
possible support from the rank and
file of the republican party The
gist of the matter will be not only to
choose candidate, but to choose a
president.
When such a situation begins to
pervade the convention the unpledged
delegates will be in a position to top
the pyrotechnics, and the spectacular
aviation which with it's dips and
spiral glides is now the feature and
to get the convention down to the real
purpose for which it was organized.
1t is evident that the unpledged dele
gate is to become the balance wheel
of the convention.

1t is very fitting to enquire, What
is the matter with Pennsylvania %
Politically Pennsylvania has been the
greatest OF boss-ridden states. In
both political parties this condition
has been known and tolerated for a
quarter of century. But the state is
redeemed from this condition by both
parties in the same campaign. The
republicans met and wiped the slate
clean and the democrats used the
same hall ten days later and repeated
the process. Both parties will go to
the polls in November with candi-
dates chosen by the people and repre-
senting the issues that the people
have set forth. The worm has turned
and Pennsylvania Is headed toward
the progressive ports with not even
carrying the bosses as stowaways.

ORIGIN OF MOTHERS DAY
Sketch of Miss Anna Jarvis, Who is
the Founder

Mothers Day, our first internation-
al honor day, will this year consum-
mate it's fourth observance through
out the world. All through our own
country. Europe, in parts of China,
Japan, Africa and South America,
sons and daughters will wear the
white carnation, which was chosen
as the Mothers Day flower. The pop
ularity of this new honor day is re-
markable. With no organization,
state nor government to introduce it.,
with no funds to spread its mission,
with no literature save one two-page
leafiet, with no motive force except
the desire of one woman to see all
mothers honored as she would honor
her own, Mothers Day has IN four
years become a universal honor day.
celebrated by people of all nationals
ties of all races and of all creeds.
The founder of this new holiday,
Miss Anna Jarvis, has watched its
rapid growth with a feeling of be-
wilderment. Five years ago she de-
termined to experiment upon the
starting of this new holiday and she
inserted a notice in a church paper
The notice asked for an observance
of the second Sunday in May as
Mothers Day, and that every son and
daughter who wished to honor moth
erhood should wear white carnation.
The response was general among sub
scribers to the church paper. The
second year, Miss Jarvis felt justified
in sending notices to the newspapers
of the city of Philadelphia. where she
resided. She appealed to the general
public in behalf of motherhood.
Soldiers, sailors and statesmen are
nationally honored' she said but

All that she asked was the wearing
of white carnation to honor moth
erhood There was not white car

delphia ON the Saturday night pre-
ceding the Sunday set for Mothers
Day observance. and on that day the
streets were filed with men. women

to think it out for themselves" and
they welcome the source that will
give them the most reliable facts.
This is the province of the inde-
pendent newspaper, and there is
plenty of evidence that such paper
has a wide field of usefulness. 1t is
pre-eminently the opponents of the
square deal, giving facts rather than
conclusions, discussing points of view
and principles involved rather than
seeking to promote the cause OF this
or that personality. for in the end
principles are at issue and men must
stand aside.

Tribute From Riley

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 29, 1912.
Miss Anna Jarvis, Founder OF
Mothers Day, Philadelphia, Pa:
The heaven that lies about us in our
infancy is motherhood, and no matter
how exalted or depraved we may be-
come, we are always attended by the
grace of a mothers love. Nor does
that vision splendid ever fade into the
light of common day. Every great
man has glorified a great mother
In the tragedy of Calvary it is
beautiful to see the Master looking
down upon His mother in tenderest
solicitude, telling her to comfort His
best beloved disciple, and him to COM
fort her
On this day let each of us honor the
hallowed memory of His mother,
wearing in token thereof the floral
symbol of purity. Of other blessings
we may have had great stores, but OF
that most precious influence there was
but one.

The question Is not how much
money is spent for taxes as what the
taxpayers get for their investment
Taxes that go into good roads and
bridges. that result in better precau-
tions concerning sanitation that the
health of the community may be safe
guarded, that results in the protection
of life and property at a minimum
cost for administration, is money well
spent. But if political places are
being multiplied and expense being
piled up because of inefftciency and
lack of organization then there is
cause for just complaint, but high
taxes may be levied and judiciously
expended and the community not suf-
fer in consequence. The main idea is
what the taxpayer and the citizen is
getting for his money.

The problem before the citizens OF
Yakima county is either to pay taxes
and have good roads or pay many
times the cost of good roads in the
additional cost of transporting the
farm products to market. There Is
no way possible to evade paying the
freight" Under the operation of a
good roads system economy begins
when the road is built. but under a
bad roads system economy never be-
gins. The farmer is paying the
freight every year in the additional
cost of marketing the produce on his
farm. Further, bad roads depreciate
farm values and farm comforts. 1t
is only matter of what you want for
your money.
