DO MOTHERS HONOR
WITH CLEAN LIVES

Rev. w. o. Stovall in paying tribute
to mothers Of the nation yesterday
said: ''Of all the bitter cups that hui
man beings have to drink the bitterest
is that which goes along with the dis
appointment of the mothers heart
when she knows that her child has
brought disgrace upon his name and to
his life. What must be her feeling
when she knows that all the pain she
has endured, all the labor she has be-
slowed. all the care and all the thought
fulness of her heart have gone to put
a being in this world that society con-
siders a nuisance and a menace!
But what must be the Joy of the
mother who sees that she has given to
the world good men and women! She
may have wished for them a bigger
place than they occupy. She has had
ambitions for them, and rightly SO.
Il can think of no sweeter satisfac.
ton than can come to the soul of a
noble woman than that which must
come from the knowledge that she is
the mother of worthy children. We
may wear the flowers of gay colors in
worth, and we may wear the white in
token of our memory of their purity
and sacrifice, but the only worthy trib
ute that we may offer to good moth
er is the immortelle Of Cody life.

AUTO HURTS ACROBAT

The circus was short one acrobat
Saturday night. Tommy" Uyeno. an
agile little Jap. was the missing actor.
After the show Saturday, Tommy"
as he is called at the Reid Memorial
hospital, hastily donned his American
clothing and reached North E street
at the same time the departing circus
crowd reached there. He was hit by
an automobile owned by man named
Roberts of Indianapolis. Although not
seriously hurt, he was ordered TO re-
main at the hospital by the circus
owners. Because of the nature of his
work with the circus, he will remain
here until there is no possibility OF

Tells DEEP power
IN MOTHERS HEART

Tenderness, nobleness and sacrifice
in the mother heart as described by
the Rev. ]. J. Rae at the First Pres
byterian church yesterday morning
made a deep impression on the con-
gregation which filled the church. In
cidents which the Rev. Mr.. Rae used
as illustrations struck a responsive
note in each heart, as all had seen the
manifestations of the mother love and
had lived through the experience
which he described.
The Lord, the Rev. Mr.. Rae said,
watches over each persons with the
infinite love of mother finding JOY
in each effort to overcome imperfec
ton and in each call made upon him
for assistance.
The Sacraments of baptism anC
communion were conducted and sew
eral persons were received into mem
bership by letter and confession OF
faith.

or mo liquor However: this
suit, which has been brought to
stop the holding of the election
upon the matter will serve to
put the people on guard, and
will indicate the resourcefulness
of Liquor and those who want to
see prohibition fall. The law
will stand, I am told-but the
main question in my mind is
whether or not it will wake the
people up to the Importance of

LIQUOR BUSINESS AND TAXES.

The liquor business has resist
ed all the assesses against it,
not because of a few people who
desire to sell liquor; but because
of the millions of the American
public who desire to use liquors.
Remember that the United
States Government and the gov
ernment of every individual
State in the Union is in partner
ship with the liquor business.
The United States demands and
accepts a percentage of the
profits, but contributes nothing
to the investment and pays no
part of the expenses of the bus
mess.
The liquor industry is the
fifth largest industry in the ma
tion, paying over a quarter Of a
billion of dollars taxes annually.
which amount is over one third
of the total iEcome of the United
States Government. These same
taxes paid the bulk Of the pen
|sions resulting from the Civil
War. These same taxes helped
build the Panama Canal: helped
build our navy and army. and
are instrumental in all the vast
workings of the National Gov
ernment.
The prohibitionist does not
offer a substitute for the loss of
this vast sum.
Where will the deficit. be made
up?
Who will have to make it up?
Prohibition would destroy in
vestments, properties and good
will-amounting to billions with
out compensating the owner.
Prohibition would rob the Gov
ernment of over one third it's
income without making up the
deficit that will follow.
All this to satisfy a fanatical
desire on the part of a well.paid,
agitating minority.
