increasingly important in national
politics.
Mr.. Roosevelt has spent two
days here and this is the third.
He urged Senator William G.. Nc
Adoo, several months ago, in a
Dear Mac" letter, to run again
for the Senate, despite his IS
years. In the two days he has
been in California Mr.. Roosevelt
has not publicly endorsed Senator
McAdoo, as he did Senator Bark
ley in Kentucky, and Elmer
Thomas in Oklahoma.
But Senator McAdoo has been
at Mr.. Roosevelt's elbow almost
every hour of his stay here, while
neither Of his opponents have
showed up. They are Sheridan
Downey, an old Townsendite, and
Ex-Judge John w. Preston. They
have remained away from the
presidential train, but they have
bombarded it with messages and
proclamations that Mr.. Roosevelt
will do the Democratic cause in
California no service by making
a public endorsement Of McAdoo.
On Park Tour
Senator McAdoo boarded the
presidential special when it en-
tered the State Wednesday night.
He sat on Mr.. Roosevelt's right at
the Golden Gate Exposition lunch
con in San Francisco Thursday.
He accompanied the President on
his tour Of the park yesterday. He
was again at his elbow today in
Southern California.
There was an impression aboard
the presidential special as it neared
Los Angeles that the presidential
advisers considered this endorse
ment enough for Senator McAdoo,
especially in view of the rumpus
his opponents have been raising
about white House interference"
AS for the California Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, there
are six candidates.
All the indications were today
that Mr.. Roosevelt was going to
keep completely aloof from this
scramble. Most Of them claim
New Deal support. But Mr.. RooSe-
velt has maintained a cool detach-
ment from all.
Included in the field are j. F. r.
O'Connor, former comptroller Of
the currency in washington, who
was the recipient of a Dear Jefty'
letter when he resigned to make
the race, &nd Congressman John
Dockweiler, son of the former ma
tional committeeman of the State,
who has an almost unassailable
New Deal record.

In these days of frenzied primaries

the benighted opposition may not
have a jack rabbits chance in 1910
The oppositionists have not as yet
agreed upon a dynamic leader, nor
brought forth any real sizzling issue.
Oh yes, they do have the old issue
of public safety, but what does public
safety mean to a hungry man who
sees a government relief check? Is
the unsabotaged ballot more sacred
to the jobless man than groceries and
shelter for his wife and children:
These are impolite questions, 5ut |
am asking you. What can opposition
do against four billion dollars, espe-
cially when that opposition cannot
point with or without pride to any
spectacular achievement under their
last administration? It must be re-
membered, too, that rank and file op-
pOsitionists must now devote their
every spare dollar, and more, to the
payment of taxes, and donations to
political campaigns are no longer
what they used to be-except in Ger.

ed instances not connected with the
opposition.
Anti-New Dealers are a mixture of
contradictory opinions. Some are af-
flicted with blind staggers and con-
denim everything the New Deal spon-
sOrs. Partisan zealOts chant their fun
eral dirges about huge deficits and
crazed spenders for purely political
reasons Others, while still fearful of
initiation via the printing press ack-
nOwledgeS that something had to be
done, but disagree as to method and
personnel; they regard Mr.. Roosevelt
as being too generous to be careful
enough. Then we have the fellows
who blame everything on poor judg.
ment, but insist that President Roose-
welt acts only under the loftiest mo-
-tives, and even though he makes nu-
merous mistakes, his programs for
relief and recovery spring from the
very best and noblest intentions.
Speaking of harmless motives and
honorable intentions, we are remind
ed of one thrifty woman who a-milk-
ing did go on a murky evening in
OctC.er, 1871. Because darkness inter
fered with job which had to be done
she carried lighted kerosene lamp.
Milk was a household necessity and
was scarce, there were hungry mouths
to feed and the ripsnorting new Chi
cago did not provide electric lights
in those days. The milkmaid's motive
was harmless and her intentions were
noble--but she burned the great
young Chicago to the waters edge.

Who Originated
Fathers Day?

It takes a woman to recognize mere
man. The "history" of the origin of
Fathers Day, appearing below, ap-
pearcd in the June 9, 1888, issue of
Tobacco Trade Journal. Fathers Day
is next Sunday, June 19. Remember
him with token of admiration tor the
poor old man."
A mother created Fathers Day"i
he is Mrs. John Bruce DOdd, Of
Spokane, Washington, who, twenty
eight years ago, crystallized her own
vision with the successful celebration
of the first day-a-year set aside to
honor father"
The realization of her dream in
Spokane, in 1910, eliminated Mrs.
Dodd's efforts for several years to
enlist the interest of professional or
ganizations and prominent individuals
in the inauguration of a Father s
Day"
In an early petition to the Spokane
Ministers Alliance, Mrs. Dodd wrote
''The beautiful custom of Mothers
Day would call attention to. -. the
fathers place in the home, the train
ing of children, the safeguarding of
the marriage tie, the protection of
womanhood and childhood.
First Spokane organization to give
formal endorsement to the Fathers
Day idea was the Y. M. G. A. Then
followed the approval of the Mayor
of Spokane, and the Governor Of
Washington, In June, of 1910 the
Ministers Alliance accepted Mrs.
I'D - i~'-it"tion to participate, and,
on the third Sunday of that month
lily OF the clty puipits observed the
lay.
In tho two years following, young
Mrs. Dodd-the Mother of Fathers
Jay"-was deluged with congratula-
tions and inquiries. According to a
press notice of the time, appreciation
for Mrs. Dodd's achievement was
widespread, coming "from sources
reaching far into the heights of Ii
terary, social, political and religious
circles"
All over the country other cities
followed Spokane's lead. Other coun-
tries followed suit, and soon the red
rosc of living tribute and the white
rose of remembrance were being worn
in respect for fathers qins Germany
Sweden, Koreo, Japan, Mexico, Ha-
waii, Canada and India.

COUNTRY LIFE.
I like the toll and hurry of the day,
Calm sleep when weary at night:
The velvet buds of the roses
And the rock gardens blooming
bright.
Shining faces that's sun-tanned,
With red freckle here and there,
Rumpled hair that's wind-tossed
And touseled everywhere
With purple clover blooming
And wild flowers nod to the sun,
Where the honey bees are humming
And the peckerwood drums and
drums.
The hoot of a wise old owl
The song of a night-gale,
The whispering call of a whoop-o-
will
Beneath a moon so pale.
