Mothers Day.

Last Sunday was Mothers
Day and it was the occasion of
special services in the
Clovis churches. That little
flower in honor of mother" our
dearest and best friend, was
generally observed on coat
lapels.
No day in all the year set
apart for observance has been
so generally acknowledged and
enthusiastically &C cepted nation
ally as MOTHERS DAY. The
sentiment originated with Miss
Annie Jarvis of Philadelphia.
The happy thought occurred to
her. that all mothers, whether
living or dead should be honor
ed some one day and the End
Sunday in May was set aside
as Mothers Day.

Change in Money
Order System.

The postmaster has received
notice from Washington of q
drastic change in the money or
der system which will serve the
convenience of people through
out the country. especially Of
travelling men. The order.
which goes into effect July /,
permits the recipient of postal
money orders to collect on them
at any postoffice in the United
States within thirty days after
issuance. After thirty days the
order must be presented at the
postoffice on which it was
drawn. 1t is believed that this
change in the system may make
more labor for the postal clerks,
but that it will be hailed with
delight by the people who travel.

Clovis is on Highway Route.

The blue book, which is ac-
cepted as the official guide by
the National Highway Associa-
ton, arrived this week, having
just been printed. 1t shows
Clovis on the line of the ocean to
ocean highway from Amarillo
to Albuquerque and gives CON-
plete and accurate information
concerning the route. Some
other towns in eastern New
Mexico and elsewhere are just
now awakening to the impor-
tance of being on this auto
route which will be travelled by
many tourists en- route to tine
exposition this winter and next
spring, but their efforts in this
respect are a little late. Clovis
was busy on the proposition six
months ago, while the others
peacefully slept. To those of
Ina and House who fear that
the route will be changed and
the traffic diverted in another
direction. we can only say that
there is no occasion to fear as
this route is on the blue book to
stay, sabe?

Special Editions Popular

The special railroad edition of
the Clovis News published in
March and the Anniversary
edition published on the first of
the month. proved so popular
that our supply of five hundred
copies of each has already be-
come exhausted. A majority of
these copies were sent out of
the county to friends and rel
atives b y those who received
them here and this class of ad-
vertising will no doubt prove of
much value to the town and
county in general.

The News acknowledges with
thanks the receipt of a book of
poems entitled "Douceur" from
the pen of DR.. A. l.. Dillon.
Little did the News realize that
we had such an able poet right
here in Clovis, but we have. and
a good one at that, as his book
clearly demonstrates. H i s
poems, though short. are for the
most part witty and calculated
to make one feel more cheerful.
Although the doctor is now a
married man, love-the real
kind that attacks a person dur
ing the courtship period, plays
an important part as the subject
matter of many of his poems.
1t just makes person feel like
they wanted to love somebody,
somewhere. sometime and they
don't know who. If you want
to feel like life is worth the
living after a II. just read
"Douceur."

Prohibs No Longer
Tail of Dog.

That the prohibition wave is
sweeping over the United
States; that 72 per cent of the
country's area is already dry
and 55 per cent of the people in
48 states are living under laws
that outlaw the liquor traffic;
that the prohibs are no longer
"the tail of the dog" but the
dog, the "Almighty's blood
hound to run every booze patron
into his Role and push the hole
in after him." were declara-
tions of the Rev. DIR. Sam
Small, former co.lecturer of Sam
Jones, who spoke to a large au-
dience at the Methodist church
last Friday night.
DR.. Sam Small accompan-
led by Rev. Seder, the latter
president of the New Mexico
anti. saloon league were in the
city Friday and Saturday. DR..
Small addressed a large assem-
blage at the Methodist church
Friday night on the evils of the
liquor traffic. He is a probit-
ion lecturer of nation wide rep.
utation and his remarks brist-
led with Sam Jones like witt
cism as he fiayed the saloon in
terests. He said that the sa.
loon should have been in it's
place which is in hell instead of
here on earth but that the devil
had no use for it there but need
ed it here. He had the Sam
Jones lecture style down to a
queens taste" as he had trav-
elsd with Jones on the lecture
platform for many years. MIR.
Small said that congress could
not pass a bill giving nation
wide prohibition as it would be
unconstitutional but that it was
the purpose of the prohibition
lists to bring about a constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture or sale of in
toxicating liquors of any kind.
He claimed credit as the
daddy" of the bill passed in
congress prohibiting shipments
of liquor from a wet to a dry

SUFFRAGE FOR DISTRICT
INDORSED BY CITIZENS
Question of a Central Welfare Or
ganization in Anacostia Was
Favorably Discussed.

The annual meeting of the Minnesota
Avenue Improvement Association last
evening at DIR. Upton S. IIowsers office
-esulted in the unanimous Endorsement of
outrage for the District of Columbia and
the secretary was directed to commune
cate with the congressional committees
and other members of Congress in an
effort to bring about some action at this

public affairs by every citizen, and also
how the city could secure its desires to
better advantage through the ballot than
at present. Some, however, expressed
their satisfaction with the present form
of government.
The question of organizing central
welfare association in Anacostia was
given the endorsement of the association.

SINGLE TERM PLANK
DISCUSSED IN SENATE
Senator Bristow Wants to Know
How the President VIII
Interpret It.

The single presidential term question
as applicable TO President Wilson, was
interjected in the debate in the Senate
yesterday over woman suffrage and the
Panama canal tolls by Senator Bristow of
Kansas. The senator criticised the Presi-
dent because he had refused to aid the
women seeking the ballot on the ground
that the Baltimore platform did not say
anything about woman suffrage. while on
the other hand the President had under
taken to have repealed the clause OF the
Panama canal act which permits free
though the Baltimore platform specifically
these vessels
Senator Bristow said:
The consideration of this woman suf-
frage amendment has been educational in
more ways than one 1t has given US a
line upon some of the peculiar and in
teresting characteristics OF our chief ex
ecutive that may be exceedingly useful to
the country in the future
For instance, the democratic platform
contains this declaration:
We favor single presidential
term and We pledge the candi-
date of this convention to this principle
AT the proper time will the President
interpret this plank in harmony with his
position as TO suffrage or as to canal
tolls?
Il believe it was the peerless demo-
cratic leader, William Jennings Bryan
who recently declared that
A man who violates party platform

ALASKA RAILROAD BILL
is NOW IN CONFERENCE
Leaders Confident That Question as
to Bond Issue Will Be
Settled Amicably.

The Alaska railroad bill, having
passed the House yesterday by a vote
of $50 to 81. will be taken up in con-
ference between the Senate and the
House, the principal point at issue
now arising from the fact that the
House eliminated from the bill the
proposal to finance the road by an
issue of bonds to the amount of S33,-
100000. The fight on this section of the
bill was led yesterday by Representa-
tive Fitzgerald of New York. who de-
ciared it is not a part of the fiscal
policy of the United States to issue
bonds for public works. Mr.. Fitzgerald
referred to the Panama canal construc-
ton in his speech. He said that the
original estimates for the cost of the
canal had been missed by So,0oo0oU,
and that he believes the same expert
ence viii be repeated with regard to
the Alaska railroad. and that d thirty
five million dollar bond issue VIII not
come near TO financing the proposition
However, administr ira ton leaders are
confident that the differences Will be
settled before week has passed. AL
though the bonding proposition VIII
cause trouble, beth sides are sa1sheo
that no disagreement as to methods
will delay an agreement.
As passed by the House the bill pro
vides that S1,000.000 be made available

seconds after the crash. Testimony to
this effect was given by Robert L. Eth
erloge, wireless operator aboard the
Monroe, who yesterday WAS the principal
witness at the trial of Capt. Osmyn Berry
OF the Nantucket, charged with fegli-
gence.
Etheridge said the wireless outfits were

extra switches, and the telephone to the
pilot house should be placed at points
convenient TO the wireless operator.

If the auxiliary switch had been
placed SO l could have reached it,, he
testified. Il would have turned on a

left the wireless room twentyseven sec
onds after the crash and that the other
wireless operator, who lost his life, pre-
ceded him by seventeen seconds.

nation that if he or the other operator
had remained in the room trife longer
the distress signal could have been sent
out again by reason Of the auxiliary dy-
namo being placed in commission.
