Every Day "Msther's Day"

We don't know who George
Edward Jackson is, or was, but
we can't help reprinting an ar
ticle we saw the other day. 1t
follows:
Every day is mothers day.
We never knew day without
mother. and thank God we new
es shall. Back as far as memory
carries us we find her. She is
the first person we came to know
Her face bent over the cradle in
which we lay! Her voice. was
the first we heard in The morn
ing and the last we heard at
night.
AS we grew up through boy
hood and girlhood. she was al
ways there; there to wipe away
the tears, to pick the thOrns from
our fingers, to kiss the bruises,
to mend our torn garments, to
cook for us, wash for us. pray
for us.
When we left the old home
hers was the last face we saw
as we turned the bend in the
road. She stood shading her
tear dim,ned eyes with her hand
looking, looking and still pray
ing.
We came back and went
again; She was always moth
er.
No word exists that can define
her 1T were sacrilege to at
tempt. We can liken her to
nobody and to nothing for she
stands alone.
Is she still here, as we have
always known her? Then happy
son, happy daughter. Is she
only memory. Then blessed
possession for she is still ours.
Death cannot take her from us.
The years are powerless to blot
out her image. AS we shall
sink into the long sleep her
dear face will look into ours.
Her presence and her memory
are so interviewer with all the
best that to lose her would be
to reduce our whole life to
ruin.
Oh woman, how sublime is
your mission of motherhood.
No throne is so lofty as the
throne of motherhood. No gov
ernment has so great power as
does the magic sceptor of moth
erhood. No kingdom so secure
as is the kingdom of mother
hood.
States change, governments
perish and nations migrate, all
things ebb and flow, but Mother
from the beginning to the end of
time. changes not. Her day 10

MILO IS not
Bill Finally Passed Doing Away
With Capitol Punishment

Bismarck, N. D., March o.
Joe Milo will not hang for his
share in the double murder at
Lansford, this state, last fall,
and no murderer will hereafter
be sentenced to the gallows in
North Dakota.
The passage of house bill 33,
by Representative Thorson,
was completed today, when
amendments which operate in
such manner as to save Milo s
life, and which also permit the
pardon of lifers only after they
have served fifty per cent of
their expectancy, based upon
the time that they entered the
penitentiarv, were accepted
by both houses and the bill
finally passed.
An emergency clause is at,
tached to the measure and un-
der authority OF this provision,
Warden Frank Talcott will re-
move the death watch over Mi
10 Immediately the governor
signs the act.
There were twelve votes
against the bill in the senate,
and only two negative votes in
the house.
Senators Allen, Bronson, Glib
bons, Hamilton, Huges, Mel
son of Richland. Paulson. Put
mum, Rowe, Sandstrom, Trage-
ton and young were upper house
members who opposed the bill.
Representatives Moeckel and
Sinclaire were the only house
members voting in the mega.
tive.
Senator McFadden made a
plea in the senate for passage
of the act with the emergency.
contending e that the state should
not take the life of Milo.
An interesting sidelight is
the case is the fact that Milo
has always expected to bring
his case to the attention of the
courts and the pardon board,
maintaing that his confession
in the Lansford double murder
made the conviction of his
partner easier, and that he is
entitled to consideration.
The time spent by Milo un-
der the death watch worked a
material change in his attitude
toward his prospective death
on the gallows. He never
flinched in court when sent
ence was pronounced, and tax
ing up a collection while in the
Bottineau county Jail to meet
the expense of his burial, Milo
experienced a change in the
penitentiary, life taking on
greater prospects behind the
bars than he anticipated.
Under Torson's bill, as origi-
nallv provided, the pardon OF
murderers was absolutely pro-
h bi d. The legislature
wouldn't stan for such a pro-
vision.

JAPAN AND CHINA

There is international speculation upon the demands
made by Japan upon China and which are pelhg pSy-
choopcally pressed at time when several European
powers are engrossed with war; says the BOISE ldaho
Statesman. m n.o4;.,
There are two angles to Japans attitude one affecting
the "open door" in China, the other Chnas terrIor
integrity or national independence.
It seems improbable that Japan would close tne
Chinese door, threaten to do So Tor that Woulu
involve international commercial rights OF such q
momentous nature as to cause action by various naConS
including the United States
Japan would gain little by such policy even th0ugh
it were not resisted for she has free tled already
southern China for her more staple productions. She
can sell there against the competition of the world On
the other hand Japan probably could never compete with
the United States in the expectation to China OF such
provisions as flour But there is larger reason as
against the probability of the CLOSED door" and that is
9pans inability to enforce its policy in the face of any
energetic opposition 1t is not financially able to do So
The national debt of Japan today is billion and quarter
dollars. With wealth of at least fifty billion dollars
less than that of the United States it over two
hundred million more than this country.
The people of Nippon are already taxed to DEATH
Rich and poor alike feel the hand of taxation laid upon
them heavily 1t is stated that out of every dollar the
Japanese wealthy business gets he is compelled to
give sixtyeght cents for the support of the government
1t is also doubtful if Japan will attempt to destroy the
territorial integrity of the Chinese empire, but 1t is not
unlikely that it will drive shrewd bargain in view Of
it's strategic position in financially exploiting China
through system of railroad mining and banking con-
cessions
To this the powers could not raise much objection, for
most of them have been doing the same thing.

BESIDE THE TUMBLING BROOK.

Almost the pleasantest sound in the whole world is
that made by free running water in hiy country after
ranstorm. 1t is the oldest symphony concert in the
world and the instruments that produce are the most
perfectly toned and the most harmonious
1t is as if the goodnatured little hillside gods We're
laughing and chucklng and gurging among themselves
at the pure joy of being alive and being part of such
uncommonly promising earth.
1t is as if old Pan himself relieved of the responsible
ties which have lain heavily upon him when he was a
heather god, were smiling to himself out loud,
1t sounds as if the world were exactly all right it is
and that there were no human beings meant to live out
in the rain and wind and sum- cooped up instead in dark
boxes and quarreling, struggling, starving and hating
one another over nothing
1t sounds as if it would surely cure all mankind of
Sickness wickedness and mhappness if only great
physician would think to prescribe it for them
Man has not lived in box for so many years that he
does not remember how the rain used to pater when he
lay out of nights and how the green that meant food for
him used to poke up out of the ground when the sun came
out The days of great cities crowdng the earth are in
his history only days
So he still quivers inwardy to the drip of the rain
and to the rumble Of the brook though it may have come
to mean for him only maddenng swirl of umbrellas or
crowded sidewalk, the smell of wet clothing in 9
crowded street and the splash of mud from whirmg
motorcar wheels.
