MOTHERS DAY.

It's Mothers Day today-what recol-
lections does the sacred word Mother call
forth2
Mother has already given of her life for
you and today she would embrace death as
a privilege for your sake-yea, worse than
death She would do more for you than you
would yourself
Put the thoughts of this world from YOU
like an unclean garment and live again
today-the best, possibly the only good
part of your life.
Your first prayer-she taught it to you.
Your tiny, terrible troubles-she made the
world right again. Your triumphs-When
you went to the head of the class or won
the championship game or licked the bully
Whose rejoicing so soul-shaking as hers2
When sometimes YOU heard Mother men
ton hard times to Father, you wondered
what she meant, for your ice cream allow
,ance went on Just the same; and that bicy-
Gle seemed perfectly natural at the time
though perhaps now you have an uneasy
memory of a shabby dress, or a trip to the
country given up at about then.
AS you reached manhOOd-is it neces-
sary to go on?
No matter how low you have fallen,
somewhere-in Heaven, if not on earth
is a mother who would take you to her
breast and love YOU whole, as she did her
barefoot boy when bruised in spirit or body
he sought sanctuary. No matter with
what crimes your soul is saturated you
are sure of one advocate to cry your mercy
of the Prince of Mercy
Send Mother something today-a book,
a flower, or essage-this last is the
best gift of all, for Mothers greatest hap
piness, after thinking of you is to know
that you are thinking of her

TAXING LIABILITIES.

Taxing excess profits for war purposes
is sound; but what business could stand a
tax based on gross receipts? And who
would defend a tax on liabilities?
Yet that is precisely what the revenue
bill now before congress, proposing to
double the postage on newspapers and
periodicals, would do.
AS is we'll known, the subscription price
of paper doesn't begin to pay the cost of
production. True, circulation is necessary
to secure advertisements, but that does not
keep circulation from being a liability.
Circulation is debt; to double the postage
is to tax debt, and this charge can no
more escape being added to the cost of pro-
duction than the rise in material and labor,
which in the past two years has already
forced the newspapers to raise their ad-
vertising and subscription rates
Does the government wish to increase
the cost of living still further? Or does it
simply want to force scores of papers out
of business?

The SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DABNEY.
T-ROAT REMEDY.

In common with other inventors of
the nation, our attention has been de-
voted to the submarine peril and this
IS our method of solving the problem:
instead of boats, build a bridge to
England and send the supplies over
on trucks. A three-pound gun
mounted every 500 or 1000 yards
would keep evil minded U-boats at q
distance, and if one occasionally did
slip In and discharge q torpedo, the
chances are that it would miss, be-
cause 1T is a great deal harder to hit
an 18-inch bridge piling than an
8OO-fOot ship. But even if the piling
was torpedoed, it could be replaced,
and the break would only be a TWEEN
ty or thirty foot one at the most, and
munitions could be ferried across in
a sEiff while repairs were being
made.
Estimating one hit in a thousand
shots, which is a fair average, it
would be more than all Germany
could do to supply the torpedoes rec
essary to destroy the awful array of
pLings of the entire bridge.
We are now drawing up the final
plans and will send them to the gov
eminent as soon as they are ready.
The only reward we seek is the con-
seriousness of serving our country,
! and we would not seek to arrogate
to ourself any praise through the
public prints now if the precedent
hadn't already been so firmly estab-
lished, that to 90 contrary would be
to suggest a degree of eccentricity
that might jeopardize the serious
consideration of our plan.
If the government does not adopt
the plan, it will be because a narrow
| bureaucracy is unable to grasp new
ideas and thinks that because a
bridge never has been built across
the Atlantic ocean it can't he now.
While it has no connection with
the subject. it may be interesting to
! state that our first pan was to dig
a tunnel, which has much to recon-
mend it. In view of the time re
| Quired to make the excavation, how
ever, due to the thousand or so mile
haul to get rid of the dirt, we adopted
/ the bridge idea.

REAL AND FALSE THRIFT.

Secretary Houston, telling women how
they can become producers by becoming
savers summarizes his advice in three
aphOrsms:
demonstrate thrift in your homes and
encourage thrift among YOUR neighbours 80
Make saving, rather than spending
your social Standard
Make economy fashionable lest it be-
come OBLIGATORY
BY saving, the secretary does not mean
skimp:ng, by economy he does not mean
hOarding-but simply the elimination of
waste, and Americans are the MASTERS Of
the world.
For instance, as Secretary Houston saws,
If only one ounce of food is spoiled or
thrown away in each Of our twenty million
homes a dav, it means an annual loss of
464OOO0O0 pounds vear-and how MANY
acres are necessary to produce the tonnage! !
Clothing IS largely an agricultural pro-
duct and represents the labor Of sheep
ranges in cotton fields, and in mills and
factories, Leather is scarce and is needed
IN vast quantities by the army. Here, too
economy can be practiced without mean
ness, and if the people live more carefully
and pay cash for what they buy it will be
better Tor business than the false imitation
of credit.
As the American Society of Thrift. in a
recent article on misguided thrift SAYS:

and constructive thrift. In times peace war.

MANCHESTER GUARDIAN
JUSTIFIES GERARD'S
ADDRESS AT BERLIN

London, Jan. 10-Referring to Am
bassador Gerards recent speech in
Berlin on German-American relations,
the Manchester Guardian says that
the precise significance Of Mr.. Ger
ards speech has been missed in some
quarters in England but not in Ger
many" The newspaper cOnCnues:
"Mr. Gerard said the relations be-
tween Germany and the United States
would continue to be good as long as
the Chancellor and the present chiefs
remained That is due to the fall
Of F'alkenhayn and Tirpitz who pin
ned their hopes to expansion in the
west and to the use of all methods,
however ruthless, as means of VIC
tory. Mr.. Gerard knows President
Wilson fears the failure of his peace
move may be followed by a submar-
inc campaign as desperate as Ger
many can make it, and his speech
really was a blunt hint Of the trouble
that such a development would cause
with the United States"
The Guardian justifies the unusual
procedure of the Ambassador in in
tervening against one of two opposing
political parties by surmising that
''he can only have done so in the
belief that the position was such as
