in dealing with the Presidents plan of
digging q ditch across Northern Florida.
Nobody ever seemed to know what
purpose this ditch would serve, even II
deep enough to float ean-going boats,
but the cost was to be around $780,
100000. Mr.. Roosevelt started it without
congressional authorization and expected
that, once started, Congress couldn't stop
it. Senator Vandenberg proved other
wise.
Those samples of present Federal
spending methods will serve as effective
ammunition in the campaign.
Coupled with the lack Of results in
various costly experiments to solve the
relief problem, they provide the Repub-
licans with their most effective issues.
Skillfully used, many Of the Democratic
leaders admit, they are capable Of bring
ing voter revolt against the President.
But If those issues are muhed, as
others have been, then the opposition can
prepare for at least four more lean years.
Mr.. Roosevelt is banking on luck and
fast footwork to outmaneuver his Re-
publican opponents. II the Republicans
expect to trip him up. they viii have
to think fast and move even faster.

apart any special date In homage to
mothers. Every day, rather, should be
sacred to them. And that has been the
case in the instance of the noblest char
acters this turbulent planet ever has
known. Lincoln, for example, carried
the image of his lost mother in his heart
to the final hour Of his sorrowful career,
ceaselessly striving to be worthy Of her
devotion and sacrifice; and the gentle
poet Cowper laid at his departed mothers
feet a song which is immortal for its
pathetic loveliness-verses that throb
with longing unashamed and unexcelled.
They had for precedent the tradition
that the Savior was mindful of Mary
the while He hung upon the cross.
And there is something worthy Of par
ticular mention in the fact that even
the Son Of God was privileged to have
mother. Perhaps there is no grander
truth conceivable than that of such in
elusive democracy. All living human
creatures of diversive cir
cumstance-may join in the spirit Of
Mothers Day the whole year round.
Evening star., 1936-05-10

On this Mothers Sunday we pause
once again to reverently recognize the
place the mother occupies In the scheme
OF life. Every day Is essentially q
mothers day, for whether recognized
or rot the mother stands at the center
Of all that is best and noblest in life.
One cannot read the story of the men
and women who have occupied O large
place In human affairs without realizing
that behind and often obscured to the
worlds vision, the mother has played a
determining part in the shaping of
events. 1t is her hand that like q sculp-
tors shapes and fashions the character,
giving to it symmetry and proportion.
As write there lies open before me
q book, entitled Mother" written by
q great son Of a great mother. In 1t
the son attempts to draw the portraiture
Of one who had been the dominant and
persuasive force In his life. She was as
the radiating center in his solar sys-
tenn. Both heat and light proceeded
from her gentle nature. When her death
came he describes it in tender words:
There was nothing left of her here but
the small sweet raiment In which her
spirit had dwelled. She had no more
use for it, and had left it behind. I
thank God for her dear love and her
shining life"
It is such life that makes men great,
it is the strong, dynamic influence that
gives power and directioD and contrib
utes to the highest achievement. There
is no substitute for mother love and the
mothers influence. In our conceits we
may invoke other agencies and call
them to serve us in days of need. We
may build our vast institutions, call
into being new PHILOSOPHERS, set forward
our plans and attempt to recast our
complex social and political systems, but
If we neglect or set aside or subordinate
that for which the mother stands and
represents we shall come at length to
realize that in her high and holy ONCE
she alone possesses the key to efficient
and satisfying living. She is the normal
confidant and the high appraiser of
life's best and most enduring values.

THE MOTHER
RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN, d. D., IL D, D. c. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON. - -

In the life and ministry of Jesus, His
mother occupies supreme place. From
early days In the humble home In Naza.
reth, through all the vicissitudes of child
hood 1t was she who above all others
understood the miracle-child OF her
household. Like all mothers she noted
the strange and extraordinary powers
that were manifest In her son. Even
when she was incapable OF compre-
hending His amazing and to her confus-
ing statements we read that, Mary kept
all these things and pondered them in
her heart"
In this single statement we have that
which suggests the dominant element In
mother love-the capacity to appreciate
that which reason cannot fathom. The
intuitions Of the mother heart transcend
all the gifts Of the mind. To her more
than to all others Is this divine gift given.
Pascal well says: "The heart hath rea-
sons that the reason knows not Of" How
poor and mean seem all our so-called
logical speculations and conclusions in
the face Of gift that excels them.
Among the mothers OF men the blessed
mother Of Jesus occupies the most ex-
ditCA pidCC. 40 1lc puISuCQ Ills CUuISc
and as He gathered to Himself disciples
and friends, none understood Him or so
fully entered into His life and its pur-
pose as did she. Even when the shad-
ows began to gather about His life 1t
was His mother that saw behind them
all the out-working of a mighty plan.
Few words are more eloquent than those
that describe her devotion even to the
end. when uplifted on cross her Son
in agony and dying it was written Of
her: Now there stood by the cross of
Jesus His mother" What her dimming
eyes saw in this great tragedy is not
disclosed, but Of all those who witnessed
1t we may believe that she alone shared
the fellowship of His sufferings and had
visions of the final triumph of His cause.
Thus there is wrought into the great
est story ever told record of maternal
love that is unexcelled and beautiful in
its fidelity and devotion.

Mothers Day.

Each recurrent Mothers Day provides
challenge to which even the most rich
ly gifted pen is powerless to respond
1t simply is impossible to add to the
hymn of praise which for centuries has
been sung in tribute to those who pay
in terms of love and pain for the con-
tinuance of the human race. Words ade-
quate to the need do not exist, nor will
language ever be competent to such a
duty. Ages will pass, and the children
Of earth still will lack genius to tell of
the alteration, respect and gratitude
which they feel toward the principal
authors of their being. And yet the
sincerity and the 'earnestness of their
effort always will be a measuring stick
for civilization. 1t is not too much to
say that society may be judged by in
quiry into the esteem in which it holds
maternity.
Obviously mother love is the premier
element in history. 1t antedates every
other social value. Most of the great
religions arise from and naturally con-
firm it. Take it away, and what remains?
The answer is: Nothing capable to sur
vive a single generation. All that the
race is or aspires to be depends upon
the unselfish willingness of women to
suffer. 1t Is sheer vanity to imagine
that such debt can be discharged by
even the most extravagant laudation
Deeds, not pretty phrases, are wanted If
sons and daughters are to manifest the
merest minimum of appreciation.
Hence 1t may be deemed useless to set

From 1892 to 1886.

In October, 1923, the dirigible Graf
Zeppelin reached Lakehurst, N. j., after
flight Of ITO hours from Germany.
She carried twenty passengers and forty
in her crew. The achievement was
hailed as a remarkable advance in
aviation. Yesterday morning the diri-
gible Hindenburg, largest and newest of
the Zeppelins, reached the same Amer
lean port in few minutes less than 81
hours, carrying f1fty-one passengers and
a crew Of fifty-six. Thus a new record
is made for both speed and carrying
capacity.
This extraordinary performance nat
urally brings up the question of the
advance in transoceanic passage in the
course of the years. To gain a proper
perspective upon this accomplishment
it is really necessary to 60 back to 1892,
when a navigator named Columbus
crossed the Atlantic from Palos. in
Spain. to the Gulf of Mexico, in 10 days.
That was not record save in an his
toric sense, for there was nothing with
which to compare it. Speed was not q
consideration in those times. Not until
the early part of the nineteenth century
did the element of time enter into the
calculations Of those who went down TO
the sea in ships. The frst ship to use
steam in crossing the ocean was the
Savannah. $50 tons burden, which made
the crossing from her namesake city,

A Fair Request.

Asking repeal of the red rider"
through passage of the Sisson bill, the
House District Committee reports as
follows:
There is not, nor has there been, any
indoctrination of communism by either
the Board of Education, Superintendent
Ballou or the teachers in the schools OF
the District of Columbia; nor has there
been any effort made before or since
passage of this "red rider" to advocate
or secure sympathy for communism in
the District of Columbia schools.
Those who argue for retention of the
rider, on the other hand, base their case
largely on the claim that the school
authorities have permitted or knowingly
condoned the introduction of subversive
matter into the school system. If that
were not so, there would be no excuse
for the rider.
The case, then, should rest on the
nature of the evidence, pro and con, re-
garding the advocacy of communism in
the District schools by teachers who have
taken the oath to uphold and defend
the Constitution of the United States;
the activities of school authorities and
the members of the Board of Education
in condoning or encouraging or par
ticipating in subversive activities by
teachers or others.
Congress must act as jury. From one
side it has heard statements intended
to picture deplorable condition IN the
public schools. From the other side it
has heard statements intended to show
there is an absolute lack of foundation
for any such charges.
The voteless members of this COM
munity ask that members Of Congress,
as jurymen, discharge in full their re-
sponsibility, first, by carefully examining
the nature of the evidence submitted on
both sides; second, by acting as the evi-
dence would dictate.
If there is no evidence to indicate the
existence, past and present, OF sub
versive activities in the schools the red
rider should be repealed. 1t has already
become an issue successfully beclouding
the really important issue of adequate
maintenance, in teacher personnel and
building facilities, of our public schools.
It will continue as a disrupting, harmful
issue.
If there is evidence to indicate the
existence, past and present, OF subversive
activities in the schools, the response
bility of Congress will not end with ex-
plicit retention, by positive reafarmation,
of the red rider or clarified substitute.
Congress, as the exclusive legislature for
the District, must in addition see that
the guilty ones are removed from Office
in order to protect the District against
their further Vaccinations.
That is an entirely reasonable request
that Congress study the evidence and
act in accordance with what it shows.
The unfair attitude by Congress would
be to delay consideration of the "red
rider" or fail to complete its part of the
legislative action on the Sisson bill Such
action would leave the personnel of the
Board of Education and of the school
system under the cloud of suspicion cast
on them by ardent proponents of the red
rider; will leave unclarifled on the
statute books a confusing, ambiguous
piece of legislation.

May "a, 1919, and reached Liverpool In
26 days, during IS Of which she used her
side paddles. In. 1888 the steamship
Great Western on her maiden voyage
ran from Bristol, England, to New York
in fifteen days. Records were broken
continuously for many years until In
1885 the French steamer Normandie
crossed from Southampton to New York
In 4 days II hours and a. minutes.
From Columbus In 1902 to the Nor.
mandie in 1885 the trans-Atlantic cross
ing time was reduced from seventy days
to four and half. And this latest
achievement is quite likely to be ex-
ceeded in view Of the rivalry between the
French and the British, the latter with
her new queen Of the seas" the Queen
Mary. which is soon to make her first
voyage. The four-day crossing is the
goal at present, and that it win be
accomplished is hardly to be doubted in
view of the remarkable improvements
that have been made in ship designing,
construction and equipment.
The Hindenburg's performance Of .
62-hour crossing-two days and fourteen
hours-it is to be borne in mind, was
made over q distance considerably
longer than those traversed by the
French and British steamers, she having
started from Germany some hundreds
of miles east of the British and French
ports. But it is not alone in the matter
of speed that this new giant OF the air
has made a record. She carried nearly
double the number Of people-passengers
and crew-than did her predecessor. the
Graf Zeppelin. Not only were there
more passengers, but they enjoyed
greater comforts on the voyage. Yet the
great dirigible cannot be regarded truly
as a competitor Of the monster steam
ship capable of carrying fifteen hundred
or two thousand passengers, despite
this performance Of crossing in about
half the time of the fastest ship.
Nor is the dirigible in its present de-
velopment q competitor Of the airplane
in point of speed. Amelia Earhart Put
nam in 1892 crossed from Harbor Grace,
Newfoundland, to Culmore, ireland, a
distance Of 2,026 miles, in is hours and
80 minutes, which is regarded as the
record flight from land to land across the
Atlantic. In June, 1888, James Mattern
few from New York to an island near
Oslo, Norway. 3.672 miles, in % hours
and IS minutes without a stop. Wiley
Post and Harold Gatty, in June Of 1891,
flew from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland,
to Chester, England, 2,ls5 miles. in Is
hours and II minutes. In 1888 Wiley
Post flew from New York to Berlin, $500
miles, in Is hours and Is minutes. And
these records may at any time be broken
by daring and skilled aviators, still fur
ther to emphasize the fact that distance
is after all only a relative quantity.

Senator vandenberg, taking q leader
ship that party colleagues in Congress

Congress, he started the country on the
way to spend about $l50,000y000 In ex-
perimenting with Q dream, even after
Army Engineers and p. w. A. engineers
had ruled it out.
Senator Vandenberg put the Demo-
