MOTHER is MOTHER

We don't know who George Edw
Jackson is or was, but we can't help
reprinting an article we saw credit
ed to him the other day. 1t follows:
Every day is Mothers Day. We
never know day without mother,
and thank God, we never 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 through manhood
and girlhood, she was always there,
there to wipe away the tears, to pick
the thorns from our fingers, to kiss
the bruises, to mend our torn gar
ments, to cook for us, pray for us.
When we left the old home, hers
was the last face we saw as we turn
ed the bend in the road. She stood
shading her tear-dimmed eyes with
her hand, looking looking-and still
1--WE came back and went again.
She was always mother.
mo word exists that can define
her-it were sacrilige to attempt.
We can liken her to nobody and to
nothing. She stands alone.
us she still here as we have al
ways known her? Then, happy son,
happy daughter! Is she only mem
Dry? Then, blessed possession, for
she is still ours. Death cannot take
her from us. The years are power
less to blot out her image. AS we
shall sink into our long sleep, her
dear face will look into ours.
Her presence and her memory
are so interviewer with all the best
that we think and feel and purpose
that to lose her would be to reduce
our whole life to ruin.
20, woman, how sublime is your
mission of motherhood!
mo throne so lofty as the throne
of motherhood. No government has
so great power as does the magic
scepter of motherhood. No kingdom
is so secure as the Kingdom of moth
erhood
States change, governments per-
ish and nations migrate; all things
ebb and bow, but Mother is Mother,
from the beginning to the end of
time. She changes not Her day is
yesterday, today and forever"

ITALY ABOUT TO
JOIN THE ALLIES
Germany Not Expected to Reply to
President Wilson's Note Until
Italy Decides

While Italy is confidently believed
to be making her final preparations
to enter the war on the side of the
allies, Austria, who would be the dir
ect object of her attack, is, with her
German ally, attempting to inflict
such defeat on Russia that she will
be able to divert troops if necessary
to meet her new foe in the south.
Dispatches from Rome continue to
be somewhat contradictory, but the
majority agree that the Italian gov
eminent has definitely decided on the
side of war, that the German and
Austrian ambassadors are preparing
to leave Rome and that the CONSUL
generals of those two countries, have
either already left their posts or will
soon do so.
On the other hand a message COM
ing through Paris says that Austria
has submitted new proposals which
she hopes will induce Italy to remain
neutral. A definite announcement is
expected before the chamber of deput-
les which meets tomorrow.
Teutons i'm Massed Attack
Meanwhile, the Austrian armies,
in conjunction with those of Ger
many, continue massed attacks
against the Russians, who are at
tempting to form a new line behind
the river San, both north and south
of Przemyls and west of the Yistula
river, in southern Poland. These at
tacks; according to the Austrian and
German reports have met with their
greatest success north of PrZemysl,
where the Germanic allies have sue
ceeded in crossing the river and have
occupied Sieniawa, on the eastern
bank.
They also claim to have captured
some positions southeast of the for
mer Austrian fortress, while their
heavy guns are keeping up bonn
bardment from the west.
Germany Will Make Reply
Official information was received at
Washington yesterday that Germany's
reply to the American note will not
be completed for at least a week and
probably not reach Washington for
at least ten days.
1t is now known with some def
niteness that Germany will indicate
its willingness to have its submarines
act toward all merchantmen just as
destroyers or cruisers would, giving
ample time for passengers and crew
to leave, providing, that merchant
men are not armed, or if passengers
and contraband traffic are separated.

flag to the Audubon School with ap-
propriate ceremonies, which were
held in the High School auditorium.

was of very patriotic and inspiring
nature. Mrs. H. G. Leach as the Pat
riotic Instructor of the. local w. R.
c., delivered an appropriate address
and presented the flag to the school
in behalf of the w. r. c. Following
Mrs. F. w. Johansen, in behalf of the

ed thanks for the same, and read the

as follows:

Vessel Men Wrecked Merchant
Marine,

Washington, Aug, 6.-Vessel
owners are themselves responsible
for the absence of an American
merchant marine, declares Presi-
dent Furuseth of the International
Seamen S Union of America.
The shipping interests are blaming
the seamen's law for their troubles
and are answered as follows by the
seamen' executive:
Starting with the beginning of
this government, for 102 years con-
gress never passed any measure
dealing with the merchant marine
except upon the request of the
American ship owners. For 102
years, up to 1894, ship owners
never requested anything that was
not given to them, except, perhaps
sufficiently large ship subsidy.
During that time congress never
passed any law against which the
shipowners entered protest. The
ship owners s advice left this ceun-
try without any American ships in
the foreign trade and without any
native or citizen seamen in any
trade. Congress began g couple of
years ago to use it's own judgement
and something like 200 vessels have
come under the flag. If congress
continues using its own judgement
we will have both ships and sea
men"

Views of LaWsOn's Attorney.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 6-Horace
N. Hawkins, Lawson attorney, ex-
presses these views en- the life SEN
tence of the miners official:
AT the very moment that Gran
by Hillyer, former coal company
attorney, was, as judge of the court
sentencing John r. Lawson, labor
leader, 10 prison, l was in the su-
preme court arranging for writ
of prohibition to restrain Hillyer
from acting in strike cases.
He declined to wait for the su-
preme court decision, and in my
absence rushed Lawson to prison.
He refused even to wait until
could reach Trinidad.
He refused to grant Lawson a
new trial in the face of the afida-
Wits of a number of jurors that his
Hillyer's court baliff had coerced
the jury into rendering verdict of
guilty after disagreement had ex
listed for 40 hours by telling them
that Judge Hillyer had ordered
that they should have no more food
until they agreed on verdict.
"The baliff did not deny the
charge, but, on the contrary, boas
ted of the way the verdict was OBJ
tanned. Yet the court overruled
the application for new trial and
condemned Lawson to prison for
life.
IF any other further evidence
was necessary to convince the pub
lie of the unfairness of Judge Hill
lyer in the Lawson case, this would
seem to furnish it. !"

STOPPED THE JUMP.
The Royal Adviser May Have Saved
His Young Kings Life.

His Young Kings Life.
King Charles XII of Sweden, who
came to the throne at the early age OF
fifteen, went out riding one time In
company with his cousin, the Duke Of
Holstein, and q few other gentlemen
Of ,ne court On the way they came
upon a pile OF timber standing by the
roadside. The Duke OF Holstein sug-
gested to the king that the company
try their skill by riding over the pile
on their horses. Charles assented and
insisted upon being the first to go over
But just az be was about to dig his
spurs into his horse. tells Das Buch fur
Ale, Count Wachtmeister seized the
bride and said to the king, Don't you
try to ride over that"
The Duke of Holstein became angry.
How dare you cross the wish Of the
king!' he exclaimed
Calmly Wachtmeister answered, "Say
what you wifi, my king shall not do it,
Holstein then reined up to him and
replied wrathfully, You do not seem
to know with whom you are speaking"
"Oh, yes" said the other, laughing
scornfully; II am speaking with tho
Duke Of Holstein. But viii you kindly
recall that you are addressing Count
Wachtmeister, the royal adviser. And,
as l said before, my king shall not
break his neck by such wild and dan
gsrous jump. Perhaps you were think
ing of becoming the king of Sweden in
that event. But you won't so long as
Hans Wachtmeister lives"
Just then the young king, who was
standing by listening to the discussion.
rode up to his adviser and. tapping him
on the shoulder approvingly, said to
the company: mo, gentlemen; guess
we won't jump that pile. 1t is bit
dangerous And with that they con-
tinued on their way in silence.

EastIand Owners Oppose
Safety Law.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Owners
of the Inflated Eastlano opposed
the seamen's bill. Secretary Red
field of the department of COM
mcrce has made public the letters
of General Manager Hull, who
called on the former to have the
act either modified or entirely
cancelled" The cabinet official an
swered that he had no such power,
and in answer to his request for OBJ
jections to the law, Hull replied,
in substance:
That it would be physical i'm
possibility" to comply with the
life saving clauses of the law, and
that eff 1t were possible to put this
amount of equipment on the East
land the weight that would be
added to her upper deck would
make the boat difficult to handle. :"
That the provision increasing
the number of competent seamen
would afford an opportunity to
able seamen to fix an arbitrary
wage and tie up ii e boat without
provocation."
"There Is no reason for an in.
crease in life-saving equipment of
this run"
"The boat is constructed of steel
throughout. Her run between Chi
cago and St. Joseph is approx
mately sixty miles. She is at no
time in excess of one hour and
thirty-three minutes from shore,
and at all times on her run is within
ten to sixty minutes of all steamers
Assistance in case of trouble could
readily be secured from other
steamers and the ports of Chicago,
Michigan City, Milwaukee, ST. Jo-
seph and South Haven.
"It will be impossible to operate
under the seamen's law and make
expenses. This will naturally af-
feet the stocks and the bonds and
in the case of great many COM
panies will render their bond issnes
practically worthless.
The sections of the seamen's law
that General Manager Hull objec-
ted to will not take effect until
Nov. 4 next. This means that the
Eastland would not have to comply
with the law until next summer.
