MOTHER, HUMANITY'S
GREATEST BLESSING

Among the magic words of life are
Justice, honor, patriotism, love, work,
brother, and wife, the most marvellous
personality the world has ever known
is represented in the word 'tMcther."
Mother has no geography; she is in
all lands; she is everywhere. All ages
-babyhood, manhood, old age, wo-
manhood, motherhood, fatherhood,
widowhood, wifehood, childhood-fnd
in her an exhaustless dictinary.
Every minute of life: every condi-
ton, finds haven of solace in the
warmth of her arms. Prisoner and
prince, pauper and rich man, de-
feated and victorious, sick and well,
disgraced and honored; all equally
share right of entry to this unfailing
reservoir of consolation.
The deepest, the sweetest, the ten
derest and most majestic chords Of
existence, all blend in harmony on
Mothers Day, the second Sunday in
May. The great ethical admonition
of Mothers Day is the duty of chill
dren to mothers.
All mother asks of her sons and
daughters is affection, which costs
nothing, but which nevertheless seem
so hard to give; only about tenth
of the mothers in the world receive
enough of it to make them happy in
their old age.
1t is not from a standpoint of GUS
tom or fashion that a special tribute
should be paid to the one who has
borne your troubles, your anxieties,
your cares, your joys; who has been
real pal to you, and who sees the
sun rise and set in you. Mother de-
serves it.
If there is a spark of emotion with
in your being, if there is warm spot
in your heart for your MOTHER,
your gift on Mothers Day should car
ry the message of love rather than
convention

ANNOUNCEMENT OF DR.. DUBOIS
CANDIDACY WELL RECEIVED

The very cordial manner in which
the voters and press of the district
and state received the Herald's an
nouncement that DR.. J. A. Dubois,
Sank Centres we'll know citizen,
would become a candidate for the
state senate from the 46th Senator
ial district, is very gratifying to the
residents of Sank Centre.
Well known men from nearly every
corner of the district have sent word
to Sank Centre conveying their sat-
isfaction in the knowledge that this
district will take it's rightful place in
the law-making body of the state, as
they all recognize that the Doctor
has the ability, personality and per-
servance to rank well up with the
leaders of the Senate.
In discussing his candidacy the
st. Cloud Journal-Press says:
The state senate race in the
forty-sixth district took on new
aspects today with the fling Of

HAVE WE POLICE PROTECTION
OR NOT?

Tuesday of last week I was called
on the phone and told there was a
drunk driving a car in the city. He
had already driven into fence, brok-
en- it down, and ran in and out of
the ditch on either side of the road
way, finally landing at neighbor's
house.
I called the police and sent him TO
investigate. About three hours later
I was informed that he had located
the car but did not go into the house
as he did not have search warrant.
am n liably informed GilAs the po-
lice had not left the house more than
five minutes when the man was in
his car again endeavoring to drive
reaching his home after going into
the ditch a couple Of times more.
All that prevented a fatal accident
or serious injury was because no one
got in his way. Any person, how
ever careful, is liable to have an ac-
cident, but a drunken driver stands
ten times the chance of collision.
It is up to every law-abiding citizen
to see that they are arrested when
they are seen driving or staggering
around the street.
If you don't want to see my name
on warrant, when you get more
than you can carry, boys, you had
better go to bed and sleep it off.

some plurality at the June primaries.
During the campaign of two years
ago Mr.. Christianson stood upon a
platform of economy in handling the
states business. His message to the
legislature carried out his campaign
promises and his plan of reorganiza-
ton was enacted into law after siren
uous opposition of horde of office
holders.
Governor Christianson's plan is
sound but it has been in operation too
short a time to show any material re-
duction in taxes. He has gathered
about him able men to administer the
law and good is bound to result.
Mayor George Leach of Minneap-
oils is candidate for the Republican
nomination. At the present time
Minneapolis, thanks to the Primary
election law, has both United States
Senators, and the lieutenant governor,
Mr.. Leach is a splendid gentleman
and may some time become governor
of the state, but this is the wrong
year.
Governor Christianson stirred up a
hornets nest in Minneapolis when he
asked for the resignation of an of
ficer whose salary in fees amounted
to over SIS, 700 per year and appoint
ed in his stead a competent official
who agreed to turn back into the
state treasury all of the fees of the
office in excess of $4,000 per year.
1t is this faction and Mr.. Leach
Unsuitable desire to run for public of
flee which very likely influenced the
Flour City mayor to become can
didate.
The opposition to the governor is
claiming that the Ramsey county Re-
publicans are strongly opposed to
Governor Christensen and that Du-
luth and the Iron Range are hot-bed
of opposition. A gentleman who is
very well posted on politics in RAM
sey county stated to the Herald a
short time ago that the leaders of
all factions of the party in Ramsey
are back of the governor. Up to a
day or two ago the friends of Mr..
Leach had not been able to find a
leading Republican of St. Paul will
ing to accept the management of the
Minneapolis mayors campaign in the
SANITY City.
The Herald editor has taken the
trouble to interview many farmers of
Central Minnesota and without ex-
ception they believe in Gov. Chris
Hanson. Many of them who have
supported some one other than the
Republican candidate for several
years will enter the primaries this
year and cast their ballot for the
governor.
Mr.. Christianson's nomination at
the June primaries is foregone con-
clusion. His election in Novembe,
will be splendid Endorsement OF
his administration as neither Magnus
Johnson or Tom Davis, candidates fol
the Farmer-Labor nomination, will
cut any serious figure in November.
The dozen or so Democrats left in
the State held conference in the
Twin Cities few days ago and the
state committee were authorized to
find some man willing to accept the
Democratic nomination for the empty
honor of handing down to his poster
ity that once upon a time he was
the nominee of his party for the
governorship of Minnesota.

and most favorably known men

easily, wise acres declared today
upon receipt of the knowledge
Of his filing.
Born in Wisconsin in 1856,
the candidate came to Stearns
county As years ago at the re-
quest of the state board of
health on completion of his med
ical education to fight a small
pox epidemic which ragged here
in 1881. The following year
he took up his permanent resi-
dence in Sank Centre where he
has since resided.
Banker, mill owner, practising
physician and withal a keen
student, the doctor was drafted
into local politics and elected
mayor of the city. He was twice
drafted as congressional nomi-
nee for this district and ran
ahead of his party. He served
as a trustee for the Faribault
state school for five years and
as a member of the state edu-
cational commission. He was for
many years president of the
Stearns county agricultural as
ISOLATION and has served the
public in other capacities.
The St. Cloud Times had the fol
lowing to say of DR.. Dubois can
didacy:
Interest in the primary in
June and the fall election in the
Stearns county senatorial dis
trict has been heightened by the
filing yesterday afternoon
of DR.. j. A. Dubois of Sank
Centre as a candidate for state
senator in the 46th district.
DR.. Dubois is probably the
most prominent man in western
Stearns. He is not only a veteran
physician but banker and man
of affairs. As a democratic can
dictate for congress he unsuc-
cessfully opposed Charles A.
Lindberg in 1914. He has been
a prominent member of the
Democratic party in this state
all his life and always a progress
sive. He was not only an ar
dent admirer of William J.
Bryant but as native Wiscon-
sin was an enthusiastic follow
er Of LaFollette and supported
him when he ran for president.
DR.. Dubois spent the after
noon in the city having come
here to file as a candidate with
County Auditor Mic Thomey.
Speaking of his candidacy as
he left the Auditors office he
said: Il feel a good deal like
any man feels who has gone and
done a thing that he had prom
Used himself he would never do.
l had promised my wife that I
would leave politics alone but
the pressure has been so strong
that l could not refuse my old
friends and neighbors from all
parts of the district. Person
ally I shall be very happy if
I am defeated but it would ap-
pear that the voters of the dis
trict are determined to keep me
at work when all I want to do
is play
Charles B. Cheney, political sag
of the Minneapolis journal, in dis
cussing Mr.. Dubois candidacy i
the Journal last Saturday evenin
said:
DR.. Julian A. Dubois of Sank
Centre has filed for state senator
in the western Stearns district,
with promises of support from
friends and leading citizens in
every corner of the county. 1t
took considerable urging to get
the veteran into the race, but he
had no good excuse for refusing,
and after the preaching he has
done in past years about civic
duty and responsibility, he
could not shirk the job with
good grace.

The friends of Don A. Freeman of
St. Cloud are very much encouraged
over the voluntary offers of support
coming to him from every portion of
the Sixth district in his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
congress. Much of this support is
coming from the women voters who
have arrived at the conclusion that
harold knutson is far from being their
ideal of what a congressman should
be.

Oscar Smith for years publisher of

Mr.. Schmahl was the first officer
to put the secretary of states office
on a strict business basis. His ac-
quaintance extends into every nook
and corner of the state and he will
make very formidable candidate.
The Herald editor is a friend of both
Judge Stark and Oscar Smith but we
have known Julius for over a quart

of like to trail along with old friends.
The Herald believes Mr.. Schmahl can
"come back" after having voluntarily
