I.as', week The New* cairied on its editorial page a pie fora mother It was
a simple request that on last Sunday a white rose be worn in honor of moth
er. Did you wear it? Did you write her a letter if you were away from
home? Did you tell her something plearing il you were fortunate enough
to he near her? iJid you do something to lighten her burden? Ah, back
of our lives stands mother, supreme, the greatest of all characters. If you

But there's another side to this question. Mother ought to be in a
man's, or a woman's every day life. It ought not to be only lor a day in a
year. Still it is better to give her one day than never any at all. No
matter where we may roam mother cares more for us than any one on God’s

I'hc nation as a whole and the individual recognizes thegieat glory ot
! womanhood when it is turned motherhood. All realize now more clearly
than ever the dismal failures of so many others and the honor of the re
public rests with the mothers.
This little story, following the one of last week, is only to give thanks
to those who followed the request. One good lady telephoned us that she
was thankful for the publication and she would wey the white rose and try
to induce others to do it, in fact would form a club. And she has charming
daughters who wore the rose for that mother. Don’t be alraid of the girl or
the man who wears such an emblem. Hov the world needs to honor them:
A prominent professional man came anc said he'd be found wearing the white
Sunday. Others joined in the movement and it prospered in Millcdgvill.
It's a great and glorious work and may it live through all the coming year
and next year let the Second Sunpay in May be a real great day, the great
est of all our days.
