DR.. Wood Tells Rotarians That
Mothers Day Could Well Be
Devoted To The Bestowing
of Medals Upon the Mothers
of Men.

In speaking of the inspired senti-
ment of an annual observance of
Mothers Day, at the regular supper
session of the Rotary Club, held
Friday evening at the Augusta
House, Rev William r. Wood, D. D.,
declared in the language and Ideals
of the Rotary organization that men
should exalt the mothers as the most
perfect example of service above
SELF"
Dr. Wood in opening his brief but
eloquent talk, which was of special
significance with the approach of
Mothers Day on Sunday, May g.,
said that the practice of placing self
above service has wrought genuine
havoc to human history. He said
that the Rotary ideal of service
above self is spreading and its senti-
ment is rapidly permeating the civil
lized world.
The speaker recalled the herofsm
and sacrifices of the nations de-
tenders on the battlefelds and said
that on each May 8, the day set
aside in recognition, love and ap-
probation Of the motherhood of our
country, there SuOuIu pe llSudio AoA
the mothers of men.
In developing his theme, DR.. Wood
spoke interestingly~and sincerely on
two points. His first was that
motherhood is fundamental to the
very existence of our race. He paid
his compliments to the American
families of two or three generations
ago and spoke of recently learning
of a Lithuanian family in Haverh1ll
Mass, consisting of the father and
mother and eighteen children.
Il like dogs-some dogs" said the
speaker, But I don't like to see a
woman lavishing upon a dog the
caresses which she should be be-
slowing upon a baby"
Motherhood is fundamental to the
character of the race" was the sec
ond point developed by Dr. Wood. Il
have seen men of high influence and
splendid citizenship and character
who were sons of bad fathers, but 1
have never seen great men who had
a bad mother" he said.
In closing the speaker quoted
those beautiful verses by Hall Game,
written as an answer to what DR..
Wood characterized as the harsh

DRYS WIN IN ILLINOIS
Primary Election Results in Drys
More Than Holding Their Own
in Illinois

General Superintendent Mcbride OF the
Anti-Saloon League OF America has given
the following interview with reference to
the recent Illinois primary:
The result OF the Illinois primary is
decisive dry victory. The majority party
candidate for United States Senator was
Endorsed by the Anti-Saloon League.
The statement OF the Anti-Saloon League
in regard to Colonel Smith and Senator
Mckinley was both are satisfactory
They are equally supported The vets
Endorsed vet candidates for Congress
man-at-Large against Congressman Yates
and Rathbone Yates and Rathbone were
nominated by big majorities. Most OF the
other dry members OF Congress up for
denomination had wet opponents who
we're Endorsed by the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment. Only one
OF these dry Congressman failed of re-
nomination and he was replaced by man
also Endorsed by the Ants Saloon League
and who is a well-known dry. Add
tional dry candidates have been nomi-
mated for the state Senate, which indicates
that the next Senate will be dry two to

WELL ANSWERED

Out in the state of Washington
newspaper asks this question: What is
the difference between wasting money on
whisky and wasting it on gasoline?' A
Spokane paper makes this clear and de-
cisive answer:
1t is the difference between drunken
ness and sobriety, between wasted eff
cheney and maintained efficiency, between
pleasure for the wife and Riddles or grief
and despair" and then the Spokane
paper explains that the automobile is a
reason for the enforcement OF prohibi-
ton, for the continued abolition of the
saloon, not for bringing back its eco
nomic waste and moral delinquency.
