•• Mothers day."was recently more
or less celebrated throughout the,
country by newspaper editorials, !
magazine articles, special sermons in
the churches, and entertainments, 1
and Senator Bui. kett endeavored to;
have May 10 endorsed by Congress
as Mother's day. Whats the matter |
with father? tie's all right!' d-Jvery-i
body works but father," Hot your;
life if it wasn't for f.itber there would |
be little work done, or et Tec ted, in j
bringing in meat and potatoes.
The Baltimore Sun says, no Ameri-1
can father has ever started a move
ment in congre.ss or outside our leg is-
I lativr halls to the greatness
land goodness of the male parent.
And father dnvsii't need it, he
is satisfied that he is the big pebble
and honest duty brings its own re
wai'd. Ali honor and love and glory
to mother, but let us not forget the
" old man's" claims upon the good
will, the esteem and even the admir
ation of his family. Wo have no
desire to have father other than he
is —a modest, industrious, necessary
member of society—an indispen-1
sii>|e factor in domestic econ j
omy. Wi would not under any cir- j
cumstances say aught which would I
tend to make htm "chesty" and toss
boquets at him, and feel eveu in a |
slight degree what a really import !
.-nit person he is.
We admire father because he faces ;
the snng3 and arrows of outrageous i
fortune with a patient courage aud
equanimity which if lie were a sold- i
ier, would bring him fame and for- !
tune. In our own view father is a
hero. He is the epitome of the
cardoual virtues. He is an iuspir I
ation t" gooil deeds. We believe
the time has come when the "old
man" who has slaved from young!
manhood to the lean and slippered \
pantaloon stage, ought to be award-j
ed his due meed of praise, lie has j
(•traced himself too long, doing his!
duty as a matter of course and spurn ;
ing commendation therefore, it is j
time to force him iuto the limelight j
arid exhibit him in all his excellence. |
I W<- do not think there ought to be a j
Father's liny" any more than aj
'Mothers Day But we feel deep, ;
down in our hearts that mother and i
the children ought to try to be good j
to the "old man" every day in the j
year. He spends his life in their l
service. The len-t return they can '
make is to recognize that father with J
ill his futilities and limitations, is a j
forceful factor in civilization and '
in domestic economy. Sunbury j
