MOTHERS A

Welcome to another Mothers
Day-by which is meant not ev-
cry day, but the second Sunday
in May, when by common con-
sent motherhood receives spec
ial honor.
The good woman who inau-
gurated this special observance
ten or twelve years ago knew
the human proneness to follow
fashions. She knew, too, human
impressionability, and ease with
which the vast majority respond
to suggestions. There are not
very many normal human be-
ings, after all, who deliberately
or consciously neglect their
mothers. When they do, they do
so unconsciously, under stress
of circumstances. And all they
need to get them into the habit
or fashion of giving Mother her
dues-of showing the affection
which she Graves and which
deep in their hearts they have
always felt for hers a strong
suggestion from some quarter.
They suddenly remember that
they have been forgetting her,
and there is no pain too great
for them to take to convince her
that Mother is first in all the
world to them.
The qualities in men which
really mean strength, which go
to form chivalrous manhood and
exalted character, are the quail
ties which true motherhood al
ways instils into those around
it.
There is an incalculable a
mount of nobility and generos-
ity in the world, in spite of the
enormous number of things
that go wrong And it is in the
hearts of the mothers of the
world that this nobility and gen
erosity is propagated.

AND so THE N STAY.

Increasingly as the days roll
on the country's attention is at
tracted to the difference between
the words and actions of the
Harding administration with re-
spect to what it calls a peace
policy. Supposed at it's outset to
be against everything that had
been avocated by Woodrow Viii
son, the administration, with
the cooperation of congress,
was going to resolve war clear
out of existence. With a few
magic words and a high sign
the new administration was 60
ing to produce a tranquil world.
To show the world that America
meant to keep aloof from Euro
pean affairs, Yankee troops on
the Rhine were to be brought
home at once.
Without so much as recogniz-
ing the existence of the func

tioning League of Nations, a
new association to preserve
world peace was to be formed
in the same prompt, magical
way that the strife of the mo-
ment was to be ended by con-
gressional resolution.
Now comes the news from
Washington that complete
withdrawal of American troops
from Germany viii be delayed"
1t turns out, after all, that this
country has some interests in
Europe; that Wilson, as usual,
knew what he was talking a.
bout when he declared that A
merica would have to use its
influence for world peace as it
did in the winning Of the war.
It is represented now that Ger
many as well as the entente al
lies desire the moral effect of
the American Flag on the Rhine.
Should the United States with
draw, only Great Britain, France
and Belgium would be left on
the occupation line, and Germa-
ny might increasingly get the
notion that the unity of the vic
tors was broken and make trou-
BILE. On the other hand, the Ger
mans are represented as pictur-
ing France as more apt to go to
extremes in occupation if she
feels that the influence of the
United States in that quarter
has been withdrawn.
After the mercilessness with
which Republican politicians
found fault with the Wilson adj
ministration, which has a mar
velous record of constructive
ness to its credit, it is about
time for the Harding regime to
produce a foreign policy that
will give this country the infu-
ence it had before the partisan
obstruction at home handicapp-
ed the peace work of the Demo-
cratic President. America GER
tainly could not run as much
risk of dangerous involvement
in European affairs by member
ship in the League as by the
maintenance of troops on the
Rhine while supposed to be at
peace with Germany and pro-
claiming to the world that it
has no interest across the sea.
Daily the opposition of the u
nited States in refusing to CO.
operate through the League of
becomes more awkard
and more responsible for contin-
ued world unsettlement. Such
effective work as has been done
in the past few years to prevent
war and bind up the wounds of
the world has been done by the
League.

There are people who never

without it is produced by a ca
tharic. Most of them have
brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics
that take too much water out of
the system and aggravate the
disease they are meant to re-
lieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a
gentle movement of the bowels
that you hardly realize has been
produced by a medicine, and
their use is not so likely to be
followed by constipation. Adv.
