And your brow, all furrowed and wrinkled with care. And I kiss those dear hands, so toll worn for me— (Tod bless you, and keep you. Mother machree!" What hymn of many attuned to mother tells more than that? What heart string does not vibrate with its music. What a picture it forms of Mother machree, Mother the dearest, mother whose love has gone out in ever-swelling stream to her children, sons and daughters, who have lain at her breast, clung to her skirts, clustered around her knee, lisped their prayer in unison with her promptings, nnd who have never been able to wander far enough to escape from her tender influence, her long and jealous vigil, her love and hope and pride! Do you wonder that the Egyptians, who were hrst to give the world an orderly system of religion, started with the concept of Mother as a basis for their outline of creation? All through the primitive religions this thought persists. Man in his vanity elevated the male above the female in heaven, but ro effort has eradicated the beautiful thought of mother. "If I were hanged on the highest hill. Mother of mine. Mother of mine! I know whose love would follow me still. Mother of mine. Mother of mine!" Scientists have analyzed, logicians have tested, philosophers have debated, poets have sung, and ar tists have depicted the love of mother. One of the most appealing bits of sculpture now recalled is Thorwaldsen's “Captive Mother,” naked, bound and disheveled, but kneeling that her babe she can not lift may suckle. Nowhere else is the mother spirit so truly exhibited in so few lines. Eternal, uni versal, unchanging, beyond price, is mother’s love. Mother s influence follows man through all the days of his life. At mother’s knee he learns the fundamentals of life, of honesty and decency, of truth and honbr. and if he departs from thpm it is through no fault of mother. Hers is the superlative task of keeping alive through the ages the light that illumines the soul of man, that brightens his path through his journey across the “narrow vale stretched between the cold and barren peaks of two eterni ties.” Nothing penetrates deeper or lasts longer than mother’s teaching. And mother accepts these responsibilit.es, sus tained by her love unmeasured. She bears and rear* her children, watching over and guarding them through babyhood, childhood, youth and into maturity, sacrificing with such entire abandonment of self as makes for her the monument that en j dures in the soul' of every man or woman alive, a shrine to which each may retire when weary of the world. And this is Mother’s Day, one day set apart on which we are reminded that it deserves to be cele brated on each of the other 364 days of the year, and probably is, for sometime during every day ' Mother comes into the mind of every son and daugh ter alive, just because she is Mother. AN EXIT FOR THE “COOKIE DUSTER.’’ Since the day when Roosevelt popularized that term of opprobrium, “mollycoddle,” there has been a constant stream of expressions cqined to apply to young men who lack the qualities that are spoken of as manly. First we hear of the "lounge lizards, and more lately of “rake eaters,” “jelly beans ’ and now the “cookie dusters.” There is in all these a ‘‘touch of ridicule that may be counted on to dis courage the cultivation of the species. This in it self is evidence of the innate soundness and whole someness of our society. No one admires such vapid characters, and not ?ven the “cookie duster himself” would admit being one. Flappers and “cookie dusters," the latter de scribed as the male type corresponding to the for mer, are scheduled to die a natural death, accord ing to a special worker who specializes in the prob lem:1 of young people. The trouble has been, as hei finds it, that our boys and girls have not had enough to do. Idleness, rather than any tendency toward depravity or general worthlessness lies at the bot tom of this phenomenon. The co-ordination of community activities for boys and girls, developing their interest in outdoor life and worth-while achievement is counted on to change their life. For the children as for adults, there is today a lack of conscious uim. They are all safe as long as there is work to do and they are kept at. it, but how many can make an intelligent use of their leisure? THE WEST ANU THE THEATER. A so-called “National” theater was opened in New York and continued for two wdeks. It was under the control of the managers of New York, and was national only in its name. The drama it presented was one that has stood the test of many generations, “As You Like It,” but the production did not appeal to the public, and to stop loss the house waa closed. Whether the fate of the national theater will depend on this not at all conclusive experiment is as unsettled as the effort was unsatisfactory. For those of us who do not always lake step from the tempo of Broadway, a few remarks by Mr. Henry Miller arc consoling. When in Omaha last week Mr. Miller expressed himself emphatically in favor of the judgment of those who dwell beyond the in fluence of Broadway. It is unjust, he said, that New York with its cosmopolitan life should decide what plays are to survive to be shown in the west. He feels also that outside of New York there Is a vaat audience of cultured taste that has been almost starved fcr good drama. Mr. Miller’s present play, "The Changelings,” was brought out after two failures In New York, wherein he spent considerable money trying to get attention that was withheld. He and his associates were agreed on the excellent qualities of the play for acting purposes hut did not feel at all certain as to ita reception by the public. Its immediate success was greatly encouraging, for it supports the belief that in America is a great group of intelli gent people, who wHiit to go to the theater, and will go if given somthmg worth while to sop and listen to \yhen>th LENGTH AND BREADTH OF OLD GLORY. An inch isn't much some place, but on the end of a man’s nose it amounts to considerable. Which re minds us that n group of art experts has just de cided that the American flag is ill-proportioned. Its length is too great for its breadth, says the “Fine Art commission,” a body that exists at Washington, i which recommends a reduction of 12.1 per cent in i the length of the flag. The true dimensions should ; be length of 1.C7 times the breadth, instead of 1.90, I as it now exists. This conclusion has been reached by watching flags of various length fly from dif I ferent poles. And io think that for 14 7 years Old Glory has | swung to every wind of all the world, without ever I discovering that it is out of proportion! Gallant ! men have watched that banner waving over battle ; fields where the fate of natiors was being shaped | by iron blows of destiny and where the standard of j Liberty was bathed and blessed by freemen's blood. | On the ocean as on the land, it has floated, the em | blem of man’s highest hopes and noblest aspira tions. Millions of men have marched under it, and j hundreds of millions of eyes have been luted up and blessed it. Over all the world the oppressed i and downtrodden have turned to it.* is a harbinger of justice and a promise of opportunity. None of these has ever stopped to think whether the banner was “artistic” in its dimensions. Francis Scott Key might have written: "Oh, say. can you see by.the dawn's early light. The flag that we loye is not wholly right'.’ The rocket's red glare, bombs bursting tn air, .Show luridly, vividly, the great fault that's there All men now will note, and will shudder arid flee— The old flag is longer tn.ui it really ought to be.” Of course, it is better late than never, and a na tion of freemen, who reverence the flag, will not be at rest until its length is reduced 12.1 per cent, and brought into proportions that will please the ar tistic eye of the Fine Arts commission, whoever they may be. But Old Glory will be Old Glory so long as it is the Red. White and Blue, and we sin cerely hope the common sense of the authorities ut Washington will be strong to keep the artists from dolling up the flag just to get its length and breadth to meet their notions of beauty. CHARLIE AND POLA. Now and then one bears of marriages that are j made in heaven. Others, no matter where, they are made, soon head in the opposite direction In the old countries the parents of young couples ar range for their wedding. Matches among the royal family are usually influenced if not dictated, by considerations of state, with gray-headed diplomats playing the role of Cupid. But whose has been the guiding hand behind the engagement of those royal personages of the movies, Charlie Chaplin and Poia Negri? It is pleasant to think that this romance simply repeats the story of any couple that decide to unite for better or worse, that this very clever pair drifted together more by’ fate than ifesign, and that Charlie popped the question just as have the rest of men before him—simply because he could not do other wise. However, so much publicity has attended this romance, and it has lasted so long with its ups and downs and falling-outs and reconciliations that the , public may soon question whether it is any more ; real than a dratna of the screen. The press agents seem to have taken the place of the old prime minister 1n the royal family. Carefully typewritten statements are given out by Pola’s secretary, in forming the world of the status of her affair of the heart. Newspapers are flooded with pictures show ing her in a costume that looks like a wedding dress. Not the least opportunity is missed for stir ring the people's curiosity over this wooing Certainly if this match could have been planned by the press agents it could not have better adver 1 tised the main actors in it. Suppose that it actually was devised as a piece af advertising? Would Charlie and Pola go through with the ceremony, or | would they at the last moment bark out? Cer tainly the moving picture goers have set their he->t on a happy ending to this serial romance. And it is up to Charlie and Pola to make good the'expec i tations which they have roused in the bre«*?s of j their admirers. COLLEGE DEGREES AND MATRIMONY “Come out of the kitchen," for the true way I to happiness does not lie In thaf direction, if we are I to believe what Dr. Jessica Peixottu has to say about I marriage and giving In marriage. College bred men and women, when they mate with equals, make the idpal marriages, according to the doctor, who says. "Marriage between college trained individuals | should result In Ideal pa it n ere lops !’■• th parties appreciate the Intelligence of tne other, and p«y tribute to It by jegardlng marriage «» a real part nership. In this Ideal combination, there i« a free I working toward common alms rather than any headship The woman, as well as (lie man. Is able to meet and cope with existing condition*, no matter how adverse " We are ready to admit this without argument, but it remains true that a large number of very buccessful home altars have been set up and cher ished bv men and women who know of college only as a name. Culture and refinement more readily result from careful training received along with general education, hut that by no means deprives those who did not have the advantage of schooling ! from being cultivated in other ways. One of the | truest gentlemen who ever lived in Omaha was an i j old negro, who had been a slave and a field hand j i before Lincoln's proclamation set him free. His ! manner was courtly, dignified, but not a grotesque : j assumption; hi* speech was pure, add his manner j gentle, and he was » great Influence for good among I iis people. Tt in not surprising that college men and women make good husbands and wives; it would be shock ing were this not true, yet the world is full of happy homes in which neither husband nor wife had the advantage of college training. “True hearts are ' more than coronets," and the union of true hearts 1 makes s happy home. Ownership of a volunteer crop of wheat is now occupying the attention of the rourts, and when set tied it may afford a clue to the settlement of the old dispute as to which came first, the egg or the chicken. The powers of Europe propose to overlook the Vorovsk.v murder. If they had felt that way back in June, 1914, things would he different all around. Assassination has long been practiced as a pait of polities in Europe, hut it has never settled any thing hut the victim permanently.

Imagine, if you can, a family in those days hooking the team to the old wagon and plowing five or eight miles over bottomless roads just to get to the village church and sit for two solid hours of gospel preaching it just isn't done, that’s all. It is hard enough to get them out to listen . to a sermon 30 minutes long, when j they can travel over hard surfaced roads in then- automobiles, or take a 1 convenient trolley car.
