MOTHERS DAY.

ONE Of the picturesque o~bservances
of modern life has been the newly
celebrated Mothers day. To many
people who are strong on common
1t has seemed mushy sentiment
alism. Yet the millions of people who
wear carnations for this event is a
suggestion that there is too little SEN
tlment for the mothers rather than
too much.
Mothers benefactions, like the
blessings of the rain and the sun,
largely pass unnoticed. The children
regard 1t as something to which hey
have a right, and hence feel no par.
ticular gratitude for it.
In the homes of middle class peo.
pie, where there is much toiIsome
work to be done. the maternal actiyi-
ties are apt to be prolonged too far
into elderly life. Mothers want their
children to have a good time, and are
apt to mend and sew and keep house
while the young folks are flirting and
f~rolicking. Neglect of that kind is
always paid for by the regrets of after
years,

THE SINKING OF
THE LualTANlA.

PEOPLE throughout the United
States were shocked yesterday when
he news broke that the L~usitania had
been sunk by a German submarine.
Although warnings had been given to
individual passengers, and the New
York Paper of last Saturday, the day
the Lusitania left port at New York,
contained announcements warning in
tending travellers that a state Of war
existed between Germany and Great
Britain and her allies, that the zone
Of war includes the waters adjacent
to the British Isles; that In accord
ance with notice given by the Ger
man government, vessels flying the
nag of Great Britain are liable to de-
structon in those waters and that
travellers sailing in the war zone on
ships OF Great Britain or her allies.
do so at their own risk, it was little
expected that such a threat would be
carried into execution, and the Incl
dent Is regarded as the greatest out
rage. to civilized warfare perpetrated
since the beginning of hostilities last
August.
Reports indicate that all the pas
sensers were saved, but this does not
lessen the degree of intent, and
throughout the length and breadth of
the United States the people will gen.
orally condemn this latest act as an
outrage.

SOCIALISTS REFUSE TO ACCEPT
THE RESPONSIBILITY.

THE Independent was taken to task
yesterday because we classed the edi.
tor OF the Free Press as a Socialist.
A member of that party said that to
class him as a socialist was an insult
to that party. because socialism i'm
plies good citizenship.
II we have offended the sensibili-
ties of the Socialists we offer apology.
1t was not intended to do them an in

such a harmless little individual that
we thought It little mattered which
party he was classed with, or whether
he was classed with any party at all.
